Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 681 The Ultimate Movie of Personal Heroes

After the Australian Open, Chen Ran returned to China with the championship trophy.

This time, in order to create an atmosphere, the agency put up a line of eye-catching words on the most famous Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai: Chen Ran, 17 GS, goat!

It also pushed China's tennis atmosphere to a new climax since last year's Yanjing Olympics.

It is such a lucky thing for Chinese sports to have such a star from heaven.

At the same time, Chen Ran also continued his charity work.

In this Australian Open, he hit a total of 91 aces, which also means that he will donate 92 Chinese yuan to his foundation, and the cumulative amount has exceeded the 200 million mark.

Since its establishment, Chen Ran's foundation has declined donations from people from all walks of life.

He has always adhered to his principles, and to avoid any disputes in the future, the foundation only uses his personal donations.

Moreover, Chen Ran will not organize charity sales. He will keep some commemorative jerseys, shorts, sneakers, rackets and tennis balls as souvenirs.

Because Chen Ran felt that if he put these things up for charity sale, they would most likely be sold at a sky-high price, far exceeding the original price of these items, and then those wealthy bosses who participated in the auction would be associated with him.

He was not willing to do this, and the money from the charity sale was not really his personal assets. How he spent it in the future would be subject to layers of restrictions, which was not what Chen Ran wanted to see.

So he ruled that out as well.

No donations or charity sales will be accepted.

As for what other celebrities think and whether they will feel dissatisfied, that is not what Chen Ran should care about.

Anyway, from his point of view, what other celebrities think is not important. What is important is what makes him feel comfortable.

……

After spending a happy New Year in his hometown, Chen Ran returned to Shanghai to shoot a movie.

Since this movie has some magical elements, it will naturally feature various dazzling special effects.

Therefore, most of Chen Ran’s filming was done under the green screen in the film studio.

He swung the racket at the camera, again and again.

But with the help of computer special effects, every swing of Chen Ran's racket was like a huge cannonball, surging out.

As for the opponents in the movie, a group of evil elves who are proficient in "tennis skills", they were created with computer special effects.

In addition, the scenes involving Wawrinka, Roddick and others have actually been completed.

Because tennis players fly around the world to compete, the location cannot be fixed.

It is also impossible for the crew to follow the other party around the world.

So during last year's China season, I took a few days off to complete all the filming with these top professional tennis players.

However, what surprised Chen Ran at the time was that these two guys felt that the plot was still a bit modest and could be made a little more exaggerated.

For example, it should not be that Chen Ran breaks through the three levels of "hard ground, red clay, and grass" in a row, but that Chen Ran fights against three alone and directly defeats those villains.

When Chen Ran heard this suggestion, he rolled his eyes.

You can exaggerate, but not too much.

1 versus 3 is really too exaggerated and difficult to set up.

After all, there is a center line in the tennis half court. How do you divide the space among three of you?

But if there are two people, the distribution will be much simpler.

For example, have the villain stand on either side of the center line.

"Oh, it's not easy to set up a one-on-three scenario, so I'll set up a one-on-two scenario." Wawrinka and Roddick's eyes lit up immediately.

This will also give the movie more topics to talk about.

The three evil elves of hard court, red clay and grass can be randomly combined in pairs to form three combinations: "hard court and grass", "red clay and hard court", and "red clay and grass".

The crew decisively took this opportunity to continue to make things difficult for Chen Ran, and then began to modify the script, and started to create content around the theme of Chen Ran's "one versus two".

In order to save the world, he must win three consecutive 1 vs 2 games and defeat any pairwise combinations of the three evil elves.

Must win! And because of the enemy's cheating, Chen Ran not only had to win three games, but also had to win three games in a row without interruption, and the plot was changed from the previous one-on-one three consecutive wins to one-on-two three consecutive wins.

“Will this be a bad movie?”

Chen Ran, who had just received the revised script, also smiled bitterly.

This plot is too exaggerated.

After the world's number one player paid the price, under pressure from his huge reputation, the villains "Grass Elf", "Clay Elf" and "Hard Court Elf" changed the rules of the game after watching Chen Ran's previous game videos.

They don't want to play one-on-one anymore, and want to choose doubles.

Doubles is also a part of tennis, you can't deny that.

Moreover, these cunning tennis elves, in order to be fair, said that they could let Chen Ran find a doubles partner.

The two sides engaged in a 2-on-2 confrontation.

Because they discovered that the only weakness of this "God of Tennis" was that he was not good at doubles.

These guys have lost confidence in their singles.

Chen Ran really doesn’t know how to play doubles, and he’s very bad at it.

This is an open and aboveboard conspiracy, you can't refuse it.

Knowing that this was a trap, Chen Ran had no choice but to jump in.

There was a change of plan, singles became doubles.

Then, Chen Ran and other tennis players tried doubles practice.

But he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not improve his doubles skills.

He tried for a long time, but to no avail.

Perhaps God has endowed Chen Ran with tennis singles skills that surpass the limit, but has also quietly closed the door to doubles.

Doesn't this coincide with the image of Chen Ran as a "doubles rookie" that the media had been promoting before the Yanjing Olympics?

The screenwriter obviously also pays attention to hot topics of public opinion and knows how to find common topics.

So, a crazy idea emerged in Chen Ran's mind.

He took the initiative to propose an even crazier plan to the tennis elves: It's fine if you want to play with two people, but can I choose to play alone or with two people?
If I choose to fight both of you alone, it doesn't count as an advantage, and I might even be at a disadvantage, so it doesn't affect the rules of fair competition.

So Chen Ran chose to fight one against two!

And it was three games in a row!
However, he recalled that Michael Jordan's "Space Jam" was actually hailed as a bad movie, but it did not affect the box office at all.

I am not a professional actor, so it doesn't matter if I act in a bad movie. The public is very tolerant of me anyway and won't hold me to the standards of a professional actor.

The plot of this movie may be even crazier than "Space Jam", which reflects Chen Ran's personal heroism to the extreme.

Of course, tennis is an individual sport, so there is nothing wrong with this design!
