Chapter 261： First stage experience

2008 is believed to be a special year for many people in this era.

Stock market crashes, disasters, the Olympics sweeping the world...

Waiting for these to highlight one element is complete.

The same is true for Zuo Li.

This whole year has been the biggest change for Zuo Li to travel here. In the first half of the year, he was still a member of the university. Together with his brother, he led the under-appreciated Davidson to complete the strongest counterattack in March of Madness. Zuo Li also became an NCAA individual and team honored Grand Slam player.

At the same time, this year's March Madness has been called the strongest "March Madness" in history by the industry. Davidson College has also become the biggest dark horse in NCAA history and has been targeted by many non-traditional teams, and Zuo Li has also become a lot of Icons of NCAA players.

For example, Anthony Davis, who was competed by many NCAA teams and a sophomore at Vision Charter High School in Chicago, has repeatedly said that Zuoli is his idol and that he will try to keep up with Zuoli's footsteps.

And he has also liked and interacted with Zuo Li's INS many times, just like a fanboy.

After spending half a year becoming an NCAA legend, Zuo Li completed the triple jump in a very short time. He successfully became the No. 1 pick in the NBA in June, and unexpectedly stayed in the New York Knicks.

At this point, Zuo Li has finally completed the obsession of his last life, and he has finally set foot on his ideal stage.

He still remembers the moment when David Stern called his name, the feeling of fulfilling a dream of two lifetimes, which was addicting.

And then, just when many people thought that Zuo Li joined the Knicks and jumped into the fire pit, Zuo Li slapped them in the face with his actual performance.

4 games of 50+, the highest score of a rookie in a single game, a quadruple-double in a single game, the youngest triple-double, back-to-back triple-double, three consecutive triple-doubles…

In less than 30 games, Zuo Li has already made his name in the NBA. Now he is known as the new king of New York, the new favorite of the league, and is regarded by almost all magazines as one of the leaders of the next generation of the NBA.

But, as everyone knows, Zuo Li doesn't want to wait for the next generation...

Grab the class and seize power, right now!

At the same time, Zuo Li is also involved in a wide range of activities off the court.

After many years of layout, he joined AND1 and set a new contract record, as well as the right to create a sub-brand. Although this has not been completed, everything is in Zuo Li's plan.

The establishment of INS, which is more like an accidental inspiration, also brought Zuo Li unexpected benefits.

The stadium is proud, the work is smooth, and the love scene is not too much. The future goddess Elizabeth Olsen has become Zuo Li's girlfriend. Maybe it won't be long before Zuo Li will become the enemy of many otaku.

The studio set up for her also opened a solid step for Zuo Li to set up a brokerage company.

"Huh, it turns out that this year, I have done so many things." Zuo Li rubbed his temples, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

Really - the master of time management lives up to its reputation.

But this is not enough, maybe he will be busier than this year in 2009 in the future, and he still has a lot to do.

Of course, being busy also means harvesting. Years of hard work made his 2008 a year of harvest. At the same time, he will also use a more diligent attitude to welcome the upcoming 2009.

After all, he is still far from his goal.

...

I slept until three poles in the sun.

Zuo Li rarely gave himself a vacation. For the first time in so many years, he didn't go out to exercise in the morning. The destination after brunch was not the stadium, the familiar place like the gym, but a place Zuo Li had never been to-- - Broadway.

It’s not entirely true to say that I haven’t been there. After all, Broadway is an important north-south road in New York City. It starts from Battery Park in the south and runs through Manhattan Island from south to north. It is one of the most important traffic arteries in New York. Passed by here once.

What he hasn't been to is the countless opera houses located on this avenue.

When it comes to New York, Broadway cannot be left behind. As the second entertainment center in the United States besides Hollywood, as well as the center of musical theater in the world, Broadway's status is self-evident.

This place was once synonymous with elegant art. In this era, many white-collar workers will choose to enjoy a musical on Broadway after get off work or on holidays to spend their leisure time.

Of course, these things have little to do with Zuo Li. After all, Zuo Li has never been in contact with opera before, and has no special interest in it. The reason why he came is because today is the first stage performance of Ao Mei's life.

First stage experience.

Both hers and his.

Zuo Li would not be absent on such occasions, just as he was going to give himself two days off to relieve his tense nerves. At the same time, in order to surprise Ao Mei, the original appointment was at 4 pm, and we had dinner after the performance. , but he chose to go to the scene at noon.

While the Audi Q7 was heading north, Aomei was nervously preparing.

For students at NYU's Imperial College, honing their acting skills at the Broadway Opera House in their junior year is not uncommon.

Although it is not easy for some students to pass the interview, for Aomei, there is no such problem. It is not only that she has two sisters and the power of capital behind her, but also her own conditions. Picky.

Ao Mei, who was just a sophomore, became more and more mature, especially after establishing a relationship with Zuo Li, she became more beautiful to the naked eye. Even Zuo Li would be amazed by the occasional glimpse from time to time, let alone others.

Therefore, unless it is not in line with the character design, Aomei's interview is generally unfavorable.

But today, she was still a little nervous. Although she had been rehearsing for a long time, tonight was also of great significance to her. This was her first official performance in her life. It gives a different feeling, not to mention that she never wants her first step in her acting career to end with regret.

Therefore, although it was only an afternoon show, the stage was not a big one, and the entire performance hall could only accommodate 110 people.

But Ao Mei still attached great importance to her, she came to the rehearsal early in the morning, and even just ate a hamburger for lunch, and then continued to devote herself to the rehearsal.

However…

Director: "Hey, Olsen, your expression is too stiff, maybe you can relax a little Your character is affectionate, not a cold-faced royal sister..."

The effect is not ideal...

"I know the director." Ao Mei took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "Give me five minutes, I'll calm down."

After Aomei finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the audience...

Then, I saw Zuo Li, who was holding flowers, sitting in the first row under the stage smiling, and he didn't forget to wave at her.

"Come on~!"

Ao Mei understood Zuo Li's mouth shape, and her heart seemed to be filled with sunlight.

Sure enough, Zuo Li has always been the source of her strength.

She turned her head away, firmly re-occupying her eyeballs.

"I can do it Director!"

"OK, 1, 2, 3, do it again~!" The director waved his hand.
