Chapter 171: Ify's Appointment
Before meeting Liu Yifei, Yang Mo couldn't believe that such a fresh and otherworldly fairy woman would say "fuck". But after spending a short time together, he found it very normal because she was just so cute and silly, and she smiled like a silly girl.
Compared to the fresh and refined fairy sister on TV, Yang Mo actually prefers this silly and cute lady in front of her, because she is more real and more fun.
The filming of the commercial was very simple, but the two of them had to NG many times because they couldn't hold back their laughter. The plot was so stupid that even melodramatic idol dramas wouldn't dare to act like that. In the end, the director had to make changes, turning the original face-to-face chat into a monologue. Yang Mo only had to keep shooting, and then hug Liu Yifei at the end, while Liu Yifei finished all the lines alone.
The separate shooting progressed rapidly and was completed in less than half an hour. The next step was post-production, and it would take about another half a month before it could be seen on the TV screen.
After the filming was over, the big star Liu Yifei actually invited Yang Mo: "Big star, do you want to come to my house? We have a party tonight."
"I still have work to do later. But I may have time in the evening. Give me your phone number and I'll call you in the evening." Yang Mo asked Liu Yifei for her phone number without leaving any trace.
The cute Liu Yifei didn't think much about it. She took out her cell phone and told Yang Mo her phone number. Then she asked, "Do you want my domestic cell phone number? We can contact you when you return to China."
"Of course." Yang Mo nodded quickly. It would be prestigious to save Liu Yifei's phone number in her mobile phone and tell others about it. If Monkey's gang knew about it, they would be so envious that they would die.
Liu Yifei gave Yang Mo her domestic mobile phone number. After Yang Mo saved both numbers, she said, "Okay, let's contact each other tonight!"
"I'll contact you tonight. Bye." Liu Yifei waved to Yang Mo and walked out under the guidance of her assistant. When she was almost at the door, she turned back and said, "By the way, I'm going to play in the United States for another week. I'll go to watch you play basketball in person then."
"Okay, I will definitely get you two seats closest to the sidelines." Yang Mo patted his chest and agreed. He would naturally welcome the big star who was willing to come to support him.
"Then...see you tonight." Liu Yifei waved again and walked out.
After Liu Yifei left, Yang Mo laughed happily twice, but he didn't know what he was happy about.
"Handsome Yang, you wouldn't have fallen in love with Liu Yifei, would you?" The director came over and followed Yang Mo's gaze as Liu Yifei walked away, and asked curiously.
"No way? I just met her, okay?" Yang Mo denied it hastily, and at the end she reminded him, "Don't spread rumors. It will have a bad influence on her. She is a beautiful girl."
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped." The director laughed and then said leisurely, "But I think you two are a good match. You are talented and pretty, both in height and looks. And when you two were shooting the commercial, you looked like a perfect couple."
"Oh, really?"
"You'll know when you see the finished film."
"Okay then. I'm leaving first. I hope we can have a chance to work together again next time." Yang Mo politely shook hands with the director, then waved goodbye.
After walking to the entrance of the studio, Yang Mo called Lu Xueman and told her that the filming was over. She took a taxi and then rushed to the next location and accepted an interview with CCTV in a suite at the Hilton Hotel.
The reporter who came to interview Yang Mo this time was a pretty girl, not the same reporter who had a conflict with her during the talent show. Of course, Lu Xueman couldn't arrange for that reporter to interview Yang Mo again.
The content of CCTV's interview was very positive and not gossipy. At most, they asked about the relationship within the team, and Yang Mo politely said that it was very harmonious. Then she talked to the reporter about her basketball journey. Finally, the beautiful reporter asked Yang Mo: "Now you have become a household name, but you have never played for a national team before. If the national team calls you up in the future, will you play immediately?"
"It depends on what kind of competition it is. If it's a big competition to win glory for the country, of course I will do my best to participate. But if it's an invitational tournament or an exhibition tournament, I won't participate." Yang Mo answered very seriously, and added at the end: "So, please don't ask the relevant leaders to go back and play some unimportant invitational tournaments and exhibition tournaments just because of some political achievements. If I refuse you, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
Yang Mo's words were very direct. The reporter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and ended the interview: "Okay, thank you Yang Mo for taking the time to accept our interview during the busy season. Goodbye, audience friends."
Yang Mo also waved at the camera. After turning off the camera, Yang Mo breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and said to Lu Xueman, "There's another interview, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Lu Xueman nodded, and then politely sent the CCTV reporter out. After a long while, she came back and said a little tiredly: "In this media age, reporters are the uncrowned kings. We can't afford to offend them. We really can't afford to offend them."
"What's there to be ashamed of? Look, the American media scolds me every day, don't they?" Yang Mo shrugged and said with some disapproval.
"Honey, do you think the situation in China is the same as in the United States? Although the American media is biased, at least they report on you negatively. In China, you are directly banned." Lu Xueman said unhappily as she lay lazily on the sofa.
“Just block it.” Yang Mo didn’t take it seriously.
"That's easy to say. Don't you know how big the domestic market is now ? You will probably make most of your money in China, and sponsors will only pay you a high price because of the Chinese market behind you. In the United States, can you compete with LeBron James? Can you compete with Kobe Bryant? There are so many talented people here, but you are the only one in China, don't you understand?"
"Oh." Yang Mo responded indifferently.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. A young man with a slightly wretched appearance walked in and introduced himself to Yang Mo enthusiastically: "Hello, Yang Mo, I'm a reporter from the Basketball Pioneer, my name is Wang Tuo."
"Uh, hello." Yang Mo nodded, then pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit down, hurry up and chat, I have something else to do after we finish chatting."
"Okay, OK." Wang Tuo nodded and took out the recorder and other equipment. Just as he was about to ask a question, Yang Mo's cell phone rang. Yang Mo picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled at Wang Tuo embarrassedly and then pressed the answer button.
"Hello, is this Yang?" A deep male voice came over. It was in English.
"Yes, you are?"
"Kobe Bryant."
"Oh, Kobe. Have you got your autographs ready? I'm at the Hilton Hotel now, can you send them to me?" When Yang Mo heard it was Kobe, he immediately brought up the matter of the thousand autographs.
Kobe Bryant on the other end of the phone took two deep breaths and said, "Okay, I'll be right over. I was just thinking of challenging you one-on-one."
"Come over and talk." Yang Mo laughed and hung up the phone.
At this time, Wang Tuo, who was sitting opposite, was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Was it Kobe from the Lakers who called you just now?"
"Oh, yes." Yang Mo nodded and said, "He sent me one thousand autographs."
"What? One thousand?" Wang Tuo was even more dumbfounded.
"He lost to me." Yang Mo laughed.
"He lost it to you?" Wang Tuo subconsciously raised his voice several levels and exclaimed, "Are you saying that Kobe, the No. 1 player in the league, lost a thousand autographs to you?"
"Hmm? That's right!" Yang Mo was startled by him and asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
