Chapter 914 Signature Failed
The thing is like this, Shaquille O'Neal arrived in Chengdu in a low-key manner three days in advance. In the first two days, he even went out shopping with a hat on, and even went to a restaurant to eat by himself.
It was very safe during this period, and no one recognized him. However, because he had seen the hot pot in Chengdu, he planned to stay for two days after the event to eat and drink.
But he forgot that he needed to warm up before participating in the event. The day before the event, merchants began to announce that he had appeared in Chengdu. Now everyone knew about his presence in Chengdu. This was much better than what he had said before. It was much louder when it came.
However, because no one recognized him the previous few times, he did not put on any disguise when he went out to find food in a shopping mall restaurant the day before the event. Now he could see the power of Chinese fans.
As soon as I entered the mall, I saw a good restaurant. This restaurant mainly serves Cantonese cuisine, and the business in the store is very hot at noon.
April in Chengdu was still a little chilly. He appeared at the front desk of the restaurant wearing a white hoodie, light-colored jeans, and a black peaked cap.
Although Shaquille O'Neal does not speak Chinese, based on his experience in the first two days, the people here are very enthusiastic and willing to translate for him or take the time to understand what he is saying.
Therefore, he was not worried that he could not order food.
Shaquille O'Neal caught everyone's attention as soon as he appeared at the door of the restaurant. The main reason is that he is too tall. At 2.16, he is as tall as a giant. With his strong muscles, he is intimidating.
When he came out two days ago, no one associated him with basketball stars. After all, black people are taller and stronger. But starting today, the advertisements from that merchant were overwhelming. His appearance now is naturally more eye-catching. .
"Are you Shaquille O'Neal? That basketball superstar?" Someone began to lose their temper and came up to ask.
"Yes, yes, is that the basketball star?" Even the little girl at the front desk couldn't help but ask.
"You look very similar, can you give me an autograph?" A man with eyes in line behind him took out a notebook from his small bag and handed it directly to Shaquille O'Neal, looking very excited.
As these three people asked excitedly, those who were doubtful also gathered around, wanting to catch a glimpse of the basketball superstar.
"Oh, NO, NO." Shaquille O'Neal was still a little confused about the situation. After all, the onlookers were speaking Chinese.
But just like that, Shaquille O'Neal also had some bad premonitions. After all, not only the guy with glasses, but also the girl at the front desk began to hand over notebooks and ask for autographs.
He couldn't understand anything else, but he could still understand the handing over a book for signature. After all, someone had already done this. Now he understood that he had been recognized, and he quickly raised his hands and kept talking. "no, no..." words, trying to leave.
"Don't go, O'Neal, I'm your loyal fan, please sign your autograph for me." The guy with the eyes looked polite, but his pursuit of stars was unambiguous, and he squeezed Shaquille again. ·In front of O'Neal.
"NoIcant." Shaquille O'Neal began to cover his face with one hand, making a protective gesture with the other hand, and began to squeeze out of the crowd.
But he obviously ignored the nature of human beings who like to watch the excitement. Seeing so many people around here, the people on the side naturally wanted to come and take a look.
What's more, it's lunch time again, and there are already a lot of people there. But when you get closer and ask who the celebrity is, even more people come to see them. Many of them are not even fans, and they don't know the specific people who are surrounded inside. Who is it? They all gathered around just because they thought they could see celebrities. In this way, Shaquille O'Neal was directly surrounded by onlookers.
"Isn't this the football star?"
"No, it's that basketball star. He's really tall and strong. He must be over two meters tall."
"Yo, this guy looks a lot like that movie star."
The crowd started chattering and discussing,
Everyone who speculated had different opinions, and the scene was out of control. There was nothing that could be done about it. Other celebrities could hide their faces and get away with it, but with O'Neal's height and O'Neal's skin color, he was like a pile of charcoal among thousands of flowers. .
"Oh, mygod." Shaquille O'Neal looked at more and more people and couldn't help but wailed. He decisively took out his cell phone and started calling for help.
Naturally, he called his agent for help.
Shaquille O'Neal, who was under siege, always kept one hand covering his face and the other hand in a defensive posture. Because of the communication barrier, everyone was just excited and not out of control.
Of course, we have to thank the mall security for arriving in time and controlling the situation a little.
What I felt behind was the reporter who was faster than a shark smelling blood. The reporter arrived five minutes earlier than Shaquille O'Neal's agent.
In this way, the agent took Shaquille O'Neal to avoid being chased by reporters, fans and spectators, ran around Chengdu for an entire afternoon, and finally returned to the hotel.
Shaquille O'Neal and his agent returned to the hotel. They didn't mention how exhausted and regretful they were. They just talked about how he had not recovered yet by the next day's event.
As soon as the opening ceremony ended, Shaquille O'Neal went directly to the airport under the escort of his agent and security, preparing to fly back to the United States.
The interview and fan interaction sessions that followed were canceled directly, obviously because I was too frightened yesterday.
"So this is why you are sighing now? Because you didn't get an autograph or interact with your idol?" Wu Hai said sharply.
Yes, it was already the day after Shaquille O'Neal left, and Ling Hong, Wu Hai, and Jiang Changxi were drinking in a tavern.
What's rare is that today's wine is a treat for Wu Hai, who is always stingy about food.
After all, he has the most time to drink and goes to the lottery every day, so the chance of winning is naturally higher.
"Isn't this miserable enough? I have been preparing for a long time. I specially bought a FILOFAX notepad to collect my signatures." Ling Hong rolled his eyes at Wu Hai angrily and took another swig of beer. My heart is bitter.
"It's not bad, it's a waste of my wine. You said it was so bad in the group, I thought you were abandoned by others." Wu Hai nodded and said.
Several people were drinking here because Wu Hai went to the group to ask if he looked like Lu Xiaofeng, and then was caught by Ling Hong and complained, which then progressed to Wu Hai inviting the two of them to drink.
"Sister Jiang, you judge me. I prepared for so long but didn't get an autograph. He drank some of his wine and said I was a waste." Ling Hong slumped his shoulders and looked at Jiang Changxi in an attempt to find comfort.
"You can buy autographs and stuff, there must be some online." Jiang Changxi said calmly.
"I just want someone who signed it for me. Those were all signed for others." Ling Hong now feels that everyone is drunk and I am alone, and the whole world is muddled but I am alone.
In fact, many people have experienced Ling Hong's feeling when they drank too much.
This makes it clear that what Ling Hong wants is something specially signed by Shaquille O'Neal and given to him, such as wishing "Ling Hong" or something, rather than just O'Neal's name...
