Wang Yi finished training in the morning, had lunch, and then headed to the Sacramento International Airport with Jay Chou.
Jay Chou was a little confused: "We just went to the street to play a ball, why did we get on the plane?"
Wang Yi smiled: "You'll know when we get there."
Thanks to Nicole's charter flight, they arrived at the Los Angeles Airport in California only half an hour later.
Originally, Wang Yi really didn't want to come to this city.
But he knew that Jay Chou was also a person who pursued perfection. In order to provide the best filming location for Jay Chou's Amway, he took Jay Chou to Los Angeles.
Jay Chou was a little confused.
He naturally knew that after Wang Yi was asked to be traded by the Lakers, he would never come to Los Angeles again.
Now I suddenly brought myself to Los Angeles.
What does this mean?
More than twenty minutes later, their car stopped at the beach.
A seaside promenade stretches along the coastline into the distance.
On the periphery of the promenade, several tall coconut trees appear on the beach from time to time.
Under the coconut trees, there are various leisure and entertainment facilities.
Ice rink, bicycle lane, children's amusement park, art wall, fountain, skate park.
Of course, there is also the most important basketball court for basketball fans.
This is the most famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles, USA.
The golden beach divides the view into two distinct worlds.
On one side is the endless Pacific Ocean with blue water.
On one side is a lush tropical forest, full of greenery.
Beyond the trees is a seaside park.
In the park, under several tall coconut trees, there is an open-air court.
There are only two floors of concrete stands beside the stadium.
The stands are not straight lines like ordinary stadiums, but like a woman's S-curve, extending outside the sidelines of the stadium.
The plastic floor of the stadium is dark blue.
Under the sea breeze blowing day and night, this blue becomes darker and darker, showing a deep tone.
The sun penetrates the shade of the trees, and the air is filled with the smell of the ocean. Not far away, there are seabirds flying up and down. People are chasing each other on the court, and the ball passes through the basket and passes from one person's hand to that person's hand.
Bounce and jump across the floor toward another basket across the court...
This is the famous street court in the United States: Venice Beach Stadium.
In the United States, there are two most famous street courts.
There is New York's Rucker Park Stadium to the east and Los Angeles' Venice Beach Stadium to the west.
Blue sea, blue sky, white clouds, green trees, yellow sand, and an orange basketball.
For basketball lovers, this place is simply paradise.
Wang Yi has been here twice before.
But I didn't play ball, I just watched a few times.
After being traded, he hated the city of Los Angeles and naturally never came back.
If it hadn't been for Jay Chou to shoot the music video, he would never have come back during the offseason.
Jay Chou saw the beautiful scenery of the beach and the dark blue court with a happy smile on his face.
“It’s perfect to use this place as the filming location for the basketball music video.”
As he spoke, Jay Chou couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Wang Yi.
Wang Yi said to Jay Chou: "No more gossiping, let's start putting on makeup."
When they arrived, they drove a commercial vehicle with a lot of space, and they could put on makeup in it.
While he was putting on makeup, he called James again and asked him if he was interested in playing.
James heard that Wang Yi was at the Venetian Stadium and that he was going to the stadium dressed as an old man to act like a pig and eat a tiger, and he immediately became interested.
"Of course, brother, I know you will think of me no matter what."
Jay Chou was a little surprised when he saw that Wang Yi actually called James
As a basketball fan, he is of course very happy to have the opportunity to work with superstars.
He once collaborated with Kobe on a music video.
Later, some fans suggested that he cooperate with James.
But I never had this opportunity.
The reason is that some fans say it is because Jay Chou is James Black.
The evidence can be found in his songs.
"General": The sixth step is your biggest fatal injury.
"Xingqing": Holding hands, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky.
"Chivalry": The proud princess wants to go home.
Of course, this is just a joke from the fans.
This opportunity to cooperate with Wang Yi and James, two basketball superstars, is an unexpected surprise for Jay Chou.
An hour later, James finally arrived.
When he saw Wang Yi who was half transformed, he couldn't help laughing loudly.
Wang Yi introduced Jay Chou to James.
James has a good memory: "Oh... I've seen him in the music videos you often watch. But... is it really him? I'm not sure."
Of course he was joking.
After all, Jaylen has changed so much now compared to his previous music videos.
Wang Yi smiled and said: "That's him."
James has a high emotional intelligence and reached out to Jay Chou: "Hey Jay, I often listen to your brother with Wang. Although I don't understand Chinese very well, the intro of each song is really great. "In the Name of the Father"
The arrangement of that song is even more a classic among classics. When I have the opportunity, I will come to the United States to hold a concert."
Jay Chou was a little shy and smiled politely: "Thank you. There will be a chance."
Wang Yi said: "He wants to write a basketball-themed song and collaborate with me to shoot the music video. We will shoot the scene here. You happen to be in Los Angeles, can you appear in the music video?"
With James' status, there are countless people who want him to appear in the music video.
He rarely agrees.
After all, he is so famous that if he casually agrees to appear in any singer's music video, other singers will get wind of it.
Then wouldn’t he be busy to death?
But at this time, James agreed: "Of course, brother, I have to help you with this favor, and I have to help you well. Besides, I also like Jay's songs very much, and I am very happy to be able to show up in his songs."
"
This guy James is indeed a genius.
There is nothing to say about emotional intelligence, and everyone loves to hear it.
Unlike Wang Yi, who always criticizes the sky, the earth, and the air.
In fact, James agreed without hesitation at this time, firstly because he and Wang Yi do have a good relationship.
Doing a favor is easy.
Secondly, it was because he was already planning something.
After more than two hours, all three of them had put on their makeup.
Wang Yi suddenly transformed into an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and a gray beard.
Jay Chou turned into a middle-aged fat uncle.
James is more difficult to deal with.
After all, he has a strong back and a strong body.
It's too difficult to pretend to be an old man.
But Jaylen’s makeup artist Mr. Tony still gave full play to his talent in styling and transformed James into an old man.
Let James deliberately hunch back a little more.
Finally looks like an old man.
Then the three of them got out of the car and came to the beach stadium.
Chapter completed!
