Chapter 456 Playing Table Tennis

An angular black Mazda 929 slowly parked in a parking lot outside an arena.

This car, which came out in 1986, only existed for five years. Compared with other cars, this car has a smaller body than other brands of cars.

After the car parked, a tall and muscular man got out of the small car.

I saw him wearing a tight jersey, which made him feel like he was wearing a fitness suit.

Then he took out another bag from the car, which also looked like a mini version, put it on his back, locked the car door and walked towards the arena.

"Mr. Ao! Is it still the original table?"

"No, I have an appointment today!"

This is a table tennis hall. The man is a regular visitor here. He just said hello to the front desk and walked in directly.

"Ping...pong...ping...pong..."

As soon as he entered the gym, he heard the sound of table tennis coming from all directions.

"Axiang, this way!"

While looking around, he heard someone calling him, so he looked over at a table in the corner. Two middle-aged men stopped playing, and one of them, a man with long hair, waved to him.

"Brother Zhong!"

"Axiang, let me introduce, this is our famous film director Zhu Yanping, and this is our Chinese star Ao Youxiang, please get to know each other!"

The person who introduced them was naturally Cai Zhizhong.

As more and more Wanwan people came to Hong Kong to work, they began to cling to each other and formed various hometown associations.

If Wanwan comes to Hong Kong to work, he will find this organization as soon as possible!

Zhu Yanping wanted to get to know Ao Youxiang, so he invited Ao Youxiang to this arena through Cai Zhizhong's introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Ao, I have long admired you!"

"Director Zhu is welcome!"

Zhu Yanping was not short, but in front of the giant Ao Youxiang, he still looked like a hobbit.

"How many rounds will we play first?"

Ao Youxiang knew full well why Zhu Yanping was looking for him, but he did not give Zhu Yanping a chance to speak and instead played first.

It wasn't that Ao Youxiang wanted to show off to Zhu Yanping, but that his hands were really itchy.

As a cartoonist, he can often find time to run out and play ball. What does this mean?

It shows that he really likes playing table tennis!

When Ao Youxiang spoke, Zhu Yanping certainly did not object. After all, he was the one asking for help.

Today's Ao Youxiang is much more than just a cartoonist!

His "Oolong Yuan" is not only very popular in Hong Kong Island, Wanwan and Southeast Asia, it even entered the neon market four years ago and began to be serialized in "Youth Weekly Century".

In 87, "Oolong Yuan" was also made into an animation by DreamWorks Animation. Not only did it have very high ratings in Hong Kong Island and Wanwan, but the animation was also launched on Neon.

This is also the reason why he is called the "Light of the Chinese", because he is the first cartoonist to become famous in Neon.

Therefore, if Zhu Yanping wants to adapt "Oolong Yuan", he can pull Ao Youxiang off, which is half the success.

In this case, he naturally has to patiently accompany Ao Youxiang to play ball.

However... Zhu Yanping obviously overestimated his table tennis strength.

"Snapped!"

Ao Youxiang, who was 1.9 meters tall, was like a hungry tiger pouncing on his prey. He used a horizontal pull like a smash to knock Zhu Yanping straight away!

The table tennis ball hit Zhu Yanping's side of the table, bounced up, flew past Zhu Yanping's ear, and hit the wall behind him.

"21:8, I win!"

Even though he was a bad foodie, Ao Youxiang seemed to be in great spirits and started dancing happily. "Awesome, Axiang, you're doing so well!"

Zhu Yanping, who was thankful that he was not hit and escaped, said with a wry smile.

"Hahaha, I just fight often!"

Ao Youxiang, who couldn't stop smiling on his face, did not forget to say a few words of humility. Unfortunately, this tone made it difficult to be humble.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, Brother Zhong, come on, I can't do it!"

Zhu Yanping waved his hand, pretending to admit defeat.

"Me? Okay then!"

Cai Zhizhong is two years older than Zhu Yanping, already 41 years old. On the other hand, Ao Youxiang is only 33 years old and fights often, so he beat Cai Zhizhong even faster than Zhu Yanping.

Even though Ao Youxiang has the body of a basketball player, he likes to play table tennis. The key is that his body is relatively broad, which causes his whole body to shake with his arm movements when he plays.

The picture is so beautiful that one cannot look straight at it.

"Neither can I, Axiang. I think you are in the wrong profession. You should be playing basketball instead of drawing cartoons."

Cai Zhizhong, who also lost very simply, couldn't help but say with his hands on his hips.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhong, you think too highly of me. I can't even compete in the professional group at my level!"

"Sure enough, every professional athlete is a genius in this area! I'll go to the toilet, and you guys can fight!"

Cai Zhizhong used urine escape to escape. On the one hand, he did not want to fight, and on the other hand, he wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them to talk.

After all, Zhu Yanping approached him to help him this time, obviously to talk to Ao Youxiang. What did he mean when he stayed there all the time?

Sure enough, shortly after Cai Zhizhong left, the remaining two people stopped playing and sat down to rest.

"I have never been a screenwriter, how could you think of asking me to be a screenwriter?"

Seeing Ao Youxiang take the initiative to bring up the matter, Zhu Yanping said quickly: "I talked to Manager Zhong, and she told me that Mr. Long Live once said: No one understands the meaning of the work better than the original author!

I very much agree with this sentence. I think "Oolong Yuan" is a successful work. Since it is successful, then the original author must have done something right. So as long as the original author continues to do it, it will naturally continue to be successful!

What's more, isn't that what Mr. Long Live does? "

Seeing Zhu Yanping mention his teacher, Ao Youxiang's heart suddenly moved.

As Li Wannian's disciples, no one wants to learn from Li Wannian, and Ao Youxiang is no exception.

Although he successfully achieved the title of god in one book, it does not mean that he does not want to get closer to Li Wannian.

Well, he also wants to make progress!

So after thinking for a while, he said: "I have never done any editing. If you rely on me alone, your movie will be lost, right?"

"Don't worry, I will find a professional screenwriter. You can serve as a consultant when the time comes, and I will let this screenwriter serve you exclusively!"

Seeing that Zhu Yanping had gone so far as to say what he said, Ao Youxiang finally agreed: "Okay then!"

"Great!"

Zhu Yanping was overjoyed to see Ao Youxiang agreed.

"By the way, have you and DreamWorks reached an agreement?"

But then, Ao Youxiang asked one more question.

This made Zhu Yanping feel cold. Of course, he hadn't reached an agreement yet. Not only that, the two sides still had great differences.

But even so, Zhu Yanping still kept smiling and said: "Of course, the talks are almost done, and we just have to sign the contract!"
