Chapter 600 [1 Shortcut, Am I a Child Star? 】
Guo Xu has experienced three time loops and has rich experience. He knows how to allocate time reasonably and not do too many repetitive things.
First, he needs to find a suitable training plan, a shortcut. Even if he does not train hard every day, it is necessary to prepare for training in advance, and he does not want to waste time in this regard. Therefore, he had to contact a player friend to help him go to the gym to practice.
Training in an NBA team's arena and training on the concrete floor of an open-air court are two different things. What's more, it's November and the weather today is average. The temperature in New York is less than 10 degrees during the day and less than 5 degrees at night. It's not suitable for outdoor sports. So comfortable.
In addition, Guo Xu enjoys interacting with NBA players. He likes to watch each other being surprised in the time loop and never tires of it. Suddenly an "amateur" player appeared and defeated the star in a one-on-one match. Even if the audience was slow to react and was stupider than "stupid strong", they would still be shocked by Guo Xu's performance. Guo Xu wanted to know everyone's expressions.
Of course, the other party has no memory, but he does. Once he sees it too many times, it becomes boring. Fortunately, there are two teams here. When he has had enough with the Nets, he can go to the Knicks again.
When the call was dialed, Guo Xu knew it was Jason Richardson as soon as he heard the hello voice on the other end. Sure enough, he still used this number.
Last time in the Orlando time loop, Richardson had the same number and could be contacted, but the distance was too far and the two did not meet.
Richardson is an extremely conservative person when it comes to using electrical appliances. He will not replace anything as long as it is not broken. This is true for mobile phones, mobile phone numbers, and home appliances, no matter how rich he is.
"Hi, I'm Jason Guo."
"who?"
"Jason Guo, can't you hear my voice? We live next door, went to elementary school together, and my family owns a restaurant."
"Are you Jason Guo, whose family owns a Chinese restaurant? Why do you have my phone number? We haven't seen each other since we graduated from elementary school. Didn't you become an actor?" Richardson was surprised.
This time it was Guo Xu's turn to be surprised. "Aren't we neighbors? We haven't seen each other since we graduated from elementary school?"
"Well, you moved. You acted in a few movies when you were a kid. I was very envious of you."
Guo Xu took a deep breath. It seemed that he was not just a teacher in this world. He was doing better than he thought. "Jason, I need your help. Are you free today? I'll treat you to dinner and meet and chat."
"this……"
"Very important,
I'll confirm my location first and send you a text message later. " Guo Xu insisted.
"You don't know where you are?" Richardson asked curiously.
"It's hard to explain, that's why I have to meet and talk with you. Don't refuse, I know you don't have a game today, even training should be over at noon. The Nets have two days off to play against the Warriors at home, you don't have to eat in the team cafeteria, right?"
"All right."
Guo Xu knew that Richardson wanted to refuse. After all, they were not familiar with each other in this world. How important could a primary school classmate who hadn't seen him for many years be important? But Guo Xu understands his character. This guy is not good at rejecting people and is a good guy. As long as he persisted, he could convince himself that he wanted to see what his neighbors had become.
Guo Xu wrote down the address of his apartment before going out, and brought his wallet, bank cards, etc. with him. This is a rich man. He has 600 US dollars in cash, which is enough for one day without a bank card.
There were a lot of clothes in the apartment, so Guo Xu found some handsome casual clothes and changed into them.
He had the car keys, so he went downstairs to look around and found that it was a Ford sedan. It looked ordinary and not the kind he liked. He thought for a while but didn't drive out because he was not familiar with the environment here.
After wandering around for a while, Guo Xu found the exit of the school. The name of the school was "New York School of Visual Arts". Guo Xu immediately felt that the name was familiar. He seemed to have heard it in his previous life.
Is this a prestigious school? Am I actually a teacher here?
Many Chinese people have heard of this name in the past life. Under the arrangement of her father, the beautiful and rich heroine left her affectionate boyfriend He Yichen, the school sweetheart and top student, to study in this school in the United States.
It is said that more than half of the artists and designers in New York graduated from SVA. All campuses of the college are located in Manhattan, the most central cultural and artistic center in the United States, spanning the east and west coasts of New York City.
The school also has a film and video major. Guo Xu can be a teacher at the university. He is curious about how his predecessor did it. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, because before he couldn't tell the age of Lucy, who was sleeping with him because he was too young. Now it seemed that he was a college student, not a high school student. There was not much age difference between the two.
As soon as he saw the iconic building after going out, Guo Xu was sure that he was in Manhattan, New York. The time loop did not send him to other cities. It was not far from the hotel where he and the Suns stayed last night.
Guo Xu felt that maybe he had some kind of super power. He could feel himself in a parallel world at the same time and space, and then replace it. The place where he dreamed was also related to this. If the self in the parallel world has never been to a certain city, then he cannot cycle here, and there is a certain degree of chance.
He sent Richardson a text message and arranged a time to meet. Richardson wanted to train first, and Guo Xu said to wait for him outside the basketball court.
The Nets euphemistically call themselves New Jersey, but they are actually located in East Rutherford, which is just an extremely small town in New Jersey. According to the latest census, there are only 8,811 people here. It is a suburb of New York City, 11 kilometers away from midtown Manhattan.
Being in two cities, they actually only need to cross the Hudson River, a half-hour drive to meet each other. This is why many people study and work in New York and live in New Jersey, where houses across the river are much cheaper. The sports match between New York and New Jersey is also known as the "city derby".
Guo Xu found an Internet cafe to wait for the Nets training to end. He learned a little more information from the phone call. Richardson said he had acted in movies as a child, so he looked up his name on the website and the actor's information.
It turns out that he actually acted in movies. He became a child actor when he was a child, and he also made some movies when he grew up.
The reason for the historical deviation is that when he was in the second grade of elementary school, he played the leading role in a play at school and fell in love with acting.
Guo Xu remembered this incident and had made choices in his own world. This play was an ugly duckling. The character had low self-esteem and didn't like to talk at first. The teacher wanted him to act, but he refused because he didn't dare to go on stage and face so many audiences.
I don’t know why he agreed to perform in the drama, and he performed very well with the encouragement of his teacher. His life was just like that drama, from low self-esteem and isolation to rock bottom, he counterattacked and became a confident person.
He has acted in many TV series and low-budget movies, all of which were bad movies that Guo Xu was not impressed by. He always played good-looking children's roles. It is a pity that he did not have the opportunity to star in a popular movie like "Home Alone".
He also starred in "The Return of the Clown", but it was not a movie version, but a short TV series of the same name adapted by ABC Radio. The novel tells the story of seven children in a small town in Maine who confront a killer who committed a crime in 1958 and then again in 1985. There are also young actors and big actors.
Guo Xu made a lot of money for his family. In order to facilitate his acting, the family moved to Los Angeles after he finished elementary school. Richardson only knew this and cut off contact after that.
When he grew up, Guo Xu showed the characteristics of Chinese descent. He still acted in dramas, but his acting career narrowed. They were all small roles in TV dramas, and they were not popular. Probably because he was somewhat of a celebrity and graduated from this school, he stayed at the school to teach at the age of 24.
