Chapter 895 [Friend’s Trap, Strange Dream]

On the 3rd, Guo Xu flew to Dallas with the team to prepare for the away game against the Mavericks. Neither Megan nor Daddario wanted to accompany him on away games, so the two flew to Los Angeles on the same day to enjoy themselves in a luxurious villa.

Although they were not married, the two women lived the lives of wealthy ladies. Guo Xu gave each of them an account with 1 million in it, so they could buy whatever they liked and pay the bills by check. They can afford everything except big things like houses, yachts, and airplanes. When they run out, they tell Guo Xu and they get the money.

The funny thing is, if they don’t buy the above-mentioned big items, it’s hard for them to spend their money. Because many of the things in my home are given by businesses that use them as advertising endorsements. From snacks and cosmetics to cars and electrical appliances, they are all big brands...

Meghan returned to Los Angeles mainly to see her new pet "Martha", which is a pig from Pig Island in the Bahamas. Meghan and Guo Xugang went to Pig Island together when they first met in 2000. She was very fond of it at that time. I liked it and bought a small one.

After checking into the hotel in the evening, Guo Xu received a call from his friend Austin Nichols, and the two chatted about movies.

Guo Xu's main activity during the away game is to chat with friends online, talking about movies, music, etc., and he makes some suggestions.

Austin became popular and became the representative actor of the post-80s generation in Hollywood, keeping pace with his other buddy Jake Gyllenhaal.

The global box office of the romantic comedy "Fake Marriage" finally exceeded 300 million US dollars, which was a huge explosion. Most of this is due to actress Charlize Theron. The handsome, tall and sunny Austin has also been widely recognized. The character he plays is very unlucky, almost never doing anything to his satisfaction, and half of the jokes come from him.

There were even rumors of a sibling relationship between the two of them because they were so tall. Generally, it is difficult for male actors to play with Theron, as they will not show their masculine charm and their aura will be suppressed. Austin is taller than Theron in high heels.

In addition to the amazingly popular romantic comedy "Space Traveler" before, Austin has been getting a lot of film appointments and is considered an actor with box office appeal.

Today Austin said something excitedly. "Jason, I received an invitation from Warner Bros. today. They want me to star in the superhero movie "Green Lantern." The investment is expected to be more than 200 million. Haha, I'm going to star in a blockbuster."

"Uh..." Guo Xu was very familiar with this movie and couldn't laugh or cry.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Ryan Reynolds got the opportunity to star in "Green Lantern" after starring in "Fake Marriage". He rushed back to the pre-liberation period overnight, and he still regrets it many years later. In the Easter egg of "Deadpool 2", he traveled back in time and shot himself while he was reading the script of "Green Lantern".

It's natural for Reynolds to regret it;

After the film was released, it was screened in 3,816 theaters, and Warner conducted the greatest publicity. As a result, the movie only took in $52.69 million at the box office in its first week, failing to even meet Warner's lowest expectations. In the end, the movie failed both in terms of reputation and box office, with an investment of 250 million and a global box office of 219 million, resulting in all the money lost.

"Why don't you speak? Aren't you happy for me?" Austin asked.

"You didn't directly agree to them, did you? If Warner asks you to play Superman or Batman, I will absolutely support it. If you play Green Lantern, I think you must turn down this role." Guo Xu sighed.

"Why?" Austin was stunned.

"Because 80% of the box office will be a hit. We have all read the comics. This character is not very popular, and it is difficult for the movie to show the effect of the comics. The Green Lantern Corps people appear like cartoon characters. Think about how fake that is. ?”

"..." Austin thought about comics for a while, and it seemed that it was really difficult to shoot. "But this is a big production. You don't know how to pounce, do you?"

"If you think about Warner's big production "Superman Returns," it was a Superman movie, and you were just Green Lantern." Guo Xu gave an example. Starring Brandon Routh met a terrible end, and Austin knew about him.

Guo Xu spent a lot of time talking and spent half an hour finally convincing Austin to give up starring in "Green Lantern".

This is not an easy task, because Austin's agent hopes that he will star in a blockbuster movie with an investment of more than 200 million. Most actors will never get it once in their lifetime, as long as they perform well, they will be able to enjoy it for a lifetime.

This film is not about whether the actors have acting skills at all, the plot is completely a piece of shit. For example, in the end, the male protagonist flew away from the earth with the villain BOSS Parallax Monster, and soon flew to the sun, and punched the villain BOSS into the sun. Is the director's brain sick or is he sick?

Guo Xu promised that Austin would be cast in a big-budget movie in the future, but he really couldn't figure out what to make.

Two girlfriends at home are also waiting to shoot new movies. Daddario is easier to handle. Tomorrow, the company is planning to invest in the filming of "Collapse". In her previous life, she starred in a disaster movie. The male lead can only be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Johnson has been on the street in the past few years, and his salary is not high. It was not until he played Hobbs in "Fast and Furious 5" that his career improved.

Guo Xu himself also wants to make a movie. In Xia Tian's "Neighbors", he only played a supporting role, which was not enough. If it is to be filmed, he will be free in 2011. Not surprisingly, the league will also enter a shutdown. He will have enough time to film a blockbuster with many scenes.

Guo Xu was surfing the Internet in the hotel until midnight before going to bed and had a clear dream.

He dreamed that he was in a parallel world. No fans in Dallas knew him. He could go out and have fun. He was just an ordinary person, more like a tourist.

After playing for a long time, he was a little worried because he didn't know how to leave the time loop. This time he didn't have any dreams related to basketball. He worries that he will be trapped in a parallel world, like being reborn again.

He just wants to enter the time loop to experience the life of ordinary people and take a long vacation. It is impossible to let go of everything he already owns. He wanted to take a nap and see if tomorrow would still be January 4th. If so, it would prove that he had entered a cycle and was not reborn, which would be easier to handle.

He woke up from the dream before he checked into the hotel.

Guo Xu opened his eyes and found himself in a strange environment, a strange hotel, and the wall clock opposite happened to be 6 o'clock.

And he was not alone. This was a standard room hotel, and a white man with a crew cut was sleeping on the bed on the right.

Guo Xu knew this man as his high school and college classmate, named Martin Mulsep, a local living in East Lansing. The two are ordinary friends who see each other often and don't chat much.

Guo Xu's predecessor was very introverted. Except for two friends who played basketball together, he didn't talk much to others. When they were in college, they were not in the same department, and they usually just said hello when they met.

Why is he here? Am I in Dallas now? What is our relationship?

Guo Xu thought about several questions in succession. He seemed to have entered a time loop again, and had a dream about the time loop. This was probably also a strong desire? He really wanted to take a long vacation for himself.

But how should he go back? There is no improvement goal this time. Could it be that it ends automatically when you have had enough and want to play ball?

Every time he goes to the parallel world, Guo Xu never receives the memory of his original self, so he has no idea why he is here.

He got up and went into the bathroom to wash up, then found his phone and looked at the date. It was January 4, 2010, which was synchronized with his world time.

He had experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and immediately opened the hotel's computer to check the information. As long as it was a parallel world, there would be many differences. He named it Earth Four.

He logged into the official NBA website to search for news about last season, and quickly determined that this was a parallel world, because the championship last season turned out to be the Bobcats...
