Chapter 608 The once-a-year running recording, a separate mission!
In this atmosphere, the Nets defeated the Pistons 126-115 at home.
The Nets' record has improved to 17 wins and 11 losses.
After losing this game, the Pistons have now tied the NBA record for 26 consecutive losses.
If they lose the next game, they will hold the record for the longest losing streak in NBA history!
And their next opponent is still the Nets!
Surprised? Unexpected?
Monty Williams, who signed a 6-year, $78.5 million contract with the Pistons in the summer (which could even reach $100 million with bonuses), is also embroiled in rumors of being fired.
A dilemma now faces the Pistons' management: whether to continue to trust Monty and give him enough time.
It's better to cut your losses in time, pay a large sum of money, and then choose a new coach.
In the summer, the Pistons selected Monty from among many coaches, including many championship-winning coaches such as Nurse, Nash, and Rivers.
It seems unsatisfactory now.
After giving the interview with Xiao Cui, Wang Xiucheng and Xiao Cui returned to the locker room.
"Brother, you go first, I'll tie my shoelaces." Just as they were about to enter the locker room, Xiao Cui suddenly said.
"Why tie your shoelaces when you're already inside?" Wang Xiucheng said casually, then pushed open the door and went inside.
However, when Wang Xiucheng pushed the door open, the dressing room, which should have been extremely lively, or even chaotic, was completely empty!
That's not right. There was a man wearing glasses sitting at the table in the locker room.
In the four corners, there were four people filming with cameras.
Upon seeing Wang Xiucheng enter, all the cameras immediately turned towards him.
Wang Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then he knew what was going on.
The man wearing glasses is none other than the running director, Yao PD.
No wonder there was no one else in the locker room, no wonder Xiao Cui suddenly wanted to tie his shoelaces.
So that's how it is.
Clearly, the only person capable of getting players like Durant and Westbrook to other places is Shawn Marks.
"Happy birthday." PD Yao stood up and extended his hand.
Wang Xiucheng smiled, entered the room, and shook hands with PD Yao, saying, "Thank you."
A few days ago, Ma Xiaoxuan told Wang Xiucheng that the Running Man program wanted to invite her to film an episode during Christmas this year.
Wang Xiucheng agreed.
After all, he has spent his birthday with Running Man for two consecutive years, and he has a good relationship with many people in the Running Man crew, some of whom are even close friends.
During Wang Xiucheng's first year with the Rockets, he was playing in San Francisco, so he participated in the Running Man program for the first time at the Chase Center.
The Warriors' management was very accommodating, lending the Chase Center to the production team, something Wang Xiucheng remembers.
He was then traded to the Nets, so last year's recording was done at the Barclays Center.
There's no doubt that filming will continue here this year, since Wang Xiucheng is now a small business owner of the venue, making things even more convenient for him.
"Seeing me here alone, Xiao Wang probably knows what's going on, right?" PD Yao asked with a smile.
He was actually testing Wang Xiucheng, who had said he was a big fan of Running Man, so he should know what this scene meant.
Wang Xiucheng sat down, unable to hide his smile. He even asked with some anticipation, "Is there some task for me to do alone?"
Yao PD seemed very pleased with Wang Xiucheng's answer, which shows that Wang Xiucheng has indeed watched a lot of Running Man.
“Yes,” PD Yao said. “In this episode, besides the normal games, you have another task: to take an item from each person without arousing suspicion before the end of the recording.”
Wang Xiucheng's eyes lit up when he heard this!
interesting!
Yao PD continued, "The recording of this program will begin after the Nets and Nuggets' Christmas Day game, but your mission begins now."
"The theme of this episode is friends getting together. There are 8 regular guests: Li Chen, Yang Ying, Zheng Kai, Zhou Shen, Fan Chengcheng, Bai Lu, Sha Yi, and Song Yuqi. There are also 6 former regular guests: Deng Chao, Chen He, Lu Han, Reba, Wang Zulan, and Wang Baoqiang."
"There are 14 people in total. You need to obtain their items without arousing suspicion."
"If successful, 500 million yuan will be donated in Xiao Wang's name during the Running Man program."
"What if we fail?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
Fourteen people need fourteen items, which is indeed quite difficult.
"If it fails, the money will be donated in the name of the production team, and the highlights of this episode will be broadcast on the LED screen outside Barclays Center Plaza for a whole day during the Spring Festival."
Wang Xiucheng chuckled. Compared to the 500 million yuan donation, this punishment was no challenge for him.
"Okay," Wang Xiucheng agreed.
“This is a miniature camera. Our staff can’t follow you all the time, so you need to leave evidence while you’re committing the crime.” PD Yao took out a box and had someone teach Wang Xiucheng how to use it.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiucheng finally left the Barclays Center.
For Wang Xiucheng, this Christmas was even more anticipated.
It wasn't because I was going to participate in the recording of Running Man, but because I could see so many older sisters.
The thought of seeing Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma at Christmas gave Wang Xiucheng a headache.
Ma Xiaoxuan's belly is already quite big, and she can no longer hide it.
Wang Xiucheng has already confessed to Ma Xiaoxuan and his parents.
Wang Xiucheng still remembers the way his mother looked at him back then; it was an expression that looked like she wanted to beat him to death.
However, when Wang Xiucheng's mother learned that Ma Xiaoxuan was carrying a boy, her expression improved.
In any case, Wang Xiucheng's parents have temporarily gotten away with it, but things are not so simple with Ma Xiaoxuan's parents.
Riding in Ma Wei's car, Wang Xiucheng returned to Ma Xiaoxuan's home in the Stanway Building.
Wang Xiucheng's parents and Reba's two children were all waiting for Wang Xiucheng here.
Although it's late, it's Wang Xiucheng's birthday according to Chinese time, so a simple celebration is perfectly acceptable.
Silent all night.
The next day at noon, Wang Xiucheng called Li Chen and told him that he would treat everyone to lunch at his restaurant.
Then Wang Xiucheng had Ma Wei, Wu Di, and Wu Jia drive three MPVs to the hotel where everyone was staying and pick them up.
Wang Xiucheng even invited Yao PD over.
Everyone chatted and laughed, and the food was served quickly.
An hour later, Wang Xiucheng's phone rang.
He glanced at it; it was Mary calling.
Unsure if it was related to the company, Wang Xiucheng got up and went to another room to answer the phone.
"Where are you? Have you eaten?"
Mary's voice rang out as soon as the call was answered.
"I'm treating my friends from China to a meal at the restaurant," Wang Xiucheng said honestly.
Mary didn't seem to care about the matter. "I've already acquired about 10% of the shares of SM Entertainment in South Korea that you asked me to buy."
"You've worked hard," Wang Xiucheng said softly.
After Lin Yun'er's incident in Singapore was discovered, Wang Xiucheng had Mary use her own funds to acquire shares of SM Entertainment.
Wang Xiucheng was afraid that SM Entertainment would make things difficult for Lin Yun'er, or even blacklist her.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
But Wang Xiucheng still felt it was safer to hold some SM shares.
However, Wang Xiucheng was also afraid that using cwjk's account to make acquisitions at this time would attract the attention of others.
After all, there are too many people eyeing him now, such as Patrick Fertitta and David Witheimer.
"Happy birthday," Mary said softly after finishing her business.
For Mary, that was the real issue.
"Thank you," Wang Xiucheng said, and after chatting casually for a few more minutes, he hung up the phone.
He put away his phone, pushed open the door and walked out. Suddenly, Wang Xiucheng saw someone coming out of the bathroom not far away.
It’s Reba!
At this moment, Reba also saw Wang Xiucheng.
The next moment, Reba ran over with slightly red eyes and hugged Wang Xiucheng directly.
