Chapter 878: Rowing IV
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yang An took the time to make a call to Wang Shi. This well-known entrepreneur has completely let go of his real estate company. .
It was not surprising that Wang Shi received a call from Yang An. He had already resigned from the position of CEO, and he didn't have so many social gatherings during the Spring Festival. He was playing games with his grandson at home, and only some old friends would call him.
"Xiao Yang, happy new year!"
"Mr. Wang, I wish you New Year's greetings!"
The two laughed. They met seven years ago when they were filming "Adventure with Bell". They climbed the Himalayas and conquered the jungle together. They made an appointment to climb Mount Everest together in a few years, but Yang An was too busy to spare time , Wang Shi had no choice but to go there again by himself.
Yang Andao: "I still learned from Director Guo that you are still the chairman of the Asian Rowing Federation?"
Wang Shi is holding a small brush and helping his grandson to varnish the wooden speedboat model. The 10-year-old grandson is also very fond of water sports. He loves motorboats and windsurfing, which are his pride.
He put down his brush, walked to the side of the garden with his phone, and said with a smile: "I knew you came here for this. I also heard about the decision made by the General Administration of Sports a few years ago. It was very controversial, and it can help you get it." They also made a lot of sacrifices for the places in the Asian Games, so since you have decided to participate, you must go all out."
Yang An thanked a few words, and asked curiously: "I'm just wondering, we are non-professional athletes, how can we compete with others?"
Wang Shi explained: "The rowing competition is very entertaining. Every time there will be an assault boat and speedboat behind, and take a close-up video. Among them, the waterway on the far side of the shore is normally reserved for the assault boat to shoot. , this time the organizing committee won you the exclusive right to use it, and then gave you a place for special events and special affairs. If you qualify, you can really participate in the finals and even win medals. This place is still my Asian competition It was only obtained through the coordination of the Boat Federation, you don’t need to know the troubles and hardships in the middle, in short, you owe me a favor!”
Yang An laughed loudly: "Can you still win medals? Okay, okay, I owe you favors, and I will agree to whatever you ask for."
The two talked a lot. Wang Shi told Yang An that domestic rowing competitions are getting more and more attention and popularity. During the Rio Olympics, the Chinese team also won the bronze medal in the women's single sculls. You must know that this sport has been around for a century European and American countries dominated the rankings for a long time, and it is quite a rare breakthrough for the Chinese team to win the medal!
Yang An finally understood the ins and outs of this matter. Now that the competition has become justified, there is no reason for the Xtreme Boys not to work hard to prepare. Such a big event is not just for fun. People all over Asia are watching him!
Within a few days of the Spring Festival, the news that Xtreme Challenge was going to be a rowing special has spread throughout the entertainment industry. Many celebrities have heard about it, and those who are well-informed are exchanging information with each other.
Tian Liang was a bit busy. He received countless calls asking about extreme challenges.
"I'm not an extremely picky group, how do I know the details..."
Tian Liang repeated this sentence no less than 30 times during the Spring Festival.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he had no choice but to repeat this sentence. This time it was martial arts star Wu Jing who called. The two became friends on a variety show called "Whirlwind Rider" because they looked very similar. Like, outsiders say that the two are brothers, but they are indeed called brothers, and they have a very good personal relationship.
Wu Jing said: "Brother, although you are not in the extreme challenge group, you have participated in several Yang An's programs, right? How about you help my brother find out today? Brother, hurry up! I heard that tomorrow your agent People are getting married, right? I’ll come over and give you a red envelope.”
Tian Liang smiled: "It's the best when you arrive. You don't need red envelopes or anything. I'll help you ask questions, but I don't give any guarantees. You don't know Yang An. He is a perfectionist. Everything about the candidate is important." It's what he says.
"
"Well, it's fine if you're willing to help inquire. I can't even find anyone to ask now."
Wu Jing thanked him for a long time, and waited anxiously all night.
The next day, he wrapped a 6666 auspicious red envelope and came to the Wanguo Hotel. Today Tian Liang and Ye Yiqian's managers got married and held a banquet here. All the friends from the studio came to join him. Not stingy, in addition to personally presenting the keys of an Audi q5 as a dowry, he also invited several celebrities who are close to the studio to join him.
Wu Jing was an uninvited guest who was not invited. The bride who was standing at the door to welcome the guests screamed when she saw him and covered her face in disbelief.
The groom's side was also at a loss, all he knew was a smirk.
The four parents were even more radiant and smiling, and they couldn't be more satisfied with being able to invite stars of this level.
"Congratulations to you two, I wish you a happy wedding, a happy marriage for a hundred years, and an early baby!"
Wu Jing sent a bulging red envelope, signed it, and went to the VIP seat led by the bridesmaids, and met Tian Liang and his wife.
The guests who saw Wu Jing in the hall were all a little surprised, because this star has a very personal character, and the older generation of martial arts stars in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan are all broken down. They are hard-core men in their 30s and 40s who carry the banner. Many people Everyone thought it was the face of the bride boss!
Tian Liang stood up and asked Wu Jing to sit down. Wu Jing said hello to everyone one by one, and then sat down beside Tian Liang.
"Brother, are you in a hurry?" Tian Liang put his hands in front of his face and asked with a smile.
Wu Jing sighed softly: "The years have been unfavorable recently, and I am in urgent need of rejoicing, and I need Master Yang's guidance."
Tian Liang became curious, but under Wu Jing's strong request, he still told the general situation first.
Wu Jing heaved a sigh of relief: "We have to wait until the show is broadcast to start the selection... Brother Sun Honglei is in charge of the list, right? That's easy, I can go to him for help."
Tian Liang took the opportunity to move a seat, sat next to the vacant seat, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you? Do you have to be on Yang An's variety show? Do you want to enhance your personal image?"
Wu exclaimed: "It's not my fault! On January 5th, I participated in a talk show to promote my movie. The host asked me if I knew the group xeo. I hadn't heard of it, so I just said bluntly I don’t know, I don’t even know if it’s a man or a woman, but when the show aired before the Spring Festival, I was scolded by that xeo fan because of this sentence!”
Tian Liang was stunned. After hearing the name of the group, he kept holding back his laughter, and finally couldn't help laughing: "You are already like this, and you still want to participate in the extreme challenge? Did you know that Zhang Yixing used to be a member of xeo?"
Wu Jing was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say!
Tian Liang almost laughed out loud: "You are throwing yourself into a trap! You are amazing my brother!"
