Chapter 420: Musk, a Manchester United fan? !
The United States.
Los Angeles.
Hollywood Sunset Strip.
Wearing a black motorcycle jacket, Ling Feng drove a red Chevrolet Corvette convertible and called his girlfriend’s agent using a headset:
"I'm almost there, is she still filming?"
"It's okay, I'll wait for her outside."
"Don't tell her I'm here"
< br>Of course, Ling Feng’s purpose of asking for leave was not just to deal with commercial endorsement matters.
Mainly because of my girlfriend Barbara!
As the Premier League kicked off, Ling Feng's life entered a fast pace.
Games, training sessions, and various business activities almost filled his schedule.
As an international supermodel, Barbara has also entered a busy period of work.
Although she is not the kind of workaholic, a career-oriented woman who values career more than love.
What's more, after dating Ling Feng, she also took the initiative to reduce her workload, hoping to be more present at competitions to watch her boyfriend's competitions.
However, after finally making her way in the modeling industry through her own hard work, and now becoming one of the top fifty models in the world, she certainly does not intend to drop everything immediately and stay at home all day as a homebody.
In addition to the upcoming spring and summer fashion week, her agency also hopes to train Barbara into a model-turned-acting star like Charlize Theron!
After all, in the modeling circle, Barbara's fame has reached a bottleneck.
Especially since her association with Ling Feng, a new generation super idol in England who is "popular with thousands of girls and changing social trends", Barbara's reputation has become one of the best in the modeling circle.
Only by expanding her possibilities in movies and transforming from a model to an actor can her career go further.
Although I am not very interested in the profession of actor.
However, Barbara was not resistant to trying new things.
Anyway, this is not the first time she has participated in a movie
So, under the arrangement of the agency, she won the first prize in the DC superhero blockbuster "Justice League" A small role with some lines.
After finishing the heavy work of New York Fashion Week, Barbara took a short break and then joined the crew of "Justice League" to reshoot some scenes.
This separation lasted for one month.
So, Ling Feng, who missed his girlfriend very much, decided to take advantage of the international competition day to go to the other side of the ocean to visit his girlfriend.
For Ling Feng, football is a job, a career and a lifelong career.
But that’s not all of life!
When he drove to Universal Studios Hollywood under the bright sunshine, he felt for himself what a famous attraction is.
There are people everywhere!
The parking lot is full of cars!
However, after secretly handing a hundred dollars to the parking attendant, the latter directly gave him a parking space exclusively for actors.
After parking the car, Ling Feng looked at the many headless people who were still looking for parking spaces. He couldn't help but shook his head and muttered:
"Evil capitalism!"
After walking out of the parking lot, Ling Feng met up with Barbara's agent who had been waiting for a long time.
"Put on this work badge, otherwise, you will be kicked out as a fan!"
"No problem."
After putting on the work badge, Under the leadership of Barbara's agent, Ling Feng stepped into the filming base where countless Hollywood dreams were made.
For Ling Feng, this was a novel experience.
Those white RVs used specifically for Hollywood stars to live in during filming in movies can be seen everywhere.
Even on the road, you can see actors wearing a variety of different costumes, either blowing smoke rings leisurely or running by in a hurry.
Soon, the two came outside the studio where "Justice League" was filmed.
"The director stipulates that outsiders are not allowed to enter the studio. You wait outside for a while. I will notify you as soon as Barbara finishes shooting."
"Okay. ”
Watching the agent enter the studio, Ling Feng stood by the door of the studio, took out his mobile phone and started to check the schedule sent to him by his assistant.
This time when Ling Feng came to the United States to visit the class, he did not bring a female assistant or bodyguard with him.
Because, in the football desert of the United States, his reputation is not that great.
What’s more, this is Hollywood, Los Angeles, where celebrities and handsome guys can be found everywhere!
In real comparison, Ling Feng is not as recognizable as a second-tier Hollywood star.
Except for the fans, maybe he won't be recognized at all when walking alone on the street.
On the contrary, he carries a powerful bodyguard with him, which makes him look even more conspicuous.
So, Ling Feng specially asked the bodyguard to take a few days of paid leave to go home and spend time with his family and children.
However, just as Ling Feng was staring at his phone, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer, and then stopped in front of him.
“Man, are you a crew member?”
Hearing the sound, he raised his head and saw a very familiar face.
It’s actually Tesla CEO Elon Musk, nicknamed “Iron Man”!
"I'm not. I'm waiting for someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Musk, who was dressed in a casual suit, quickly looked at Ling Feng's figure, clothing, and appearance, and then frowned One pick:
“Hey, you look familiar! I seem to have seen you somewhere.”
"I think we have never met, Mr. Musk."
Seeing Ling Feng recognize him, Musk, who seemed to have experienced this situation a long time ago, just nodded his head, Smiling slightly:
“I have a good memory, I’m sure I’ve seen you somewhere.”
After a pause, before Ling Feng could announce his home, Musk’s eyes suddenly lit up. , and then said slightly excitedly:
"I remember! You are the No. 7 who played for Manchester United, Ling Feng!"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Feng was a little surprised.
“You know me?”
“Of course! I’ve seen you on Twitter and watched your videos on YouTube. By the way, your long shots are so impressive. My blood is pumping!"
After a pause, Musk continued:
"By the way, do you remember the celebrity charity game played at the Home Depot Center two years ago? You and David (Beckham) are friends, right?”
"Huh? Were you there at that game?"
"Yes, David also invited me. I was in the stands. But after the game, I had some work to do. So no Go to the post-game party”
“No wonder, I just said I didn’t see you at the party”
With friendly greetings, people who have never met and are completely unrelated. The distance between the two people couldn't help but become much closer.
At this time, Musk seemed to suddenly realize something, and then asked: "Isn't this during the season? Why do you, the star of Manchester United, appear in Los Angeles?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng gave a thumbs up, pointed to the studio behind him, and explained casually: "My girlfriend is filming a movie there. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I came here to visit the studio."
“Oh, I see.”
“Speaking of which, do busy people like you usually pay attention to football?”
“Of course! Every World Cup I will be there to watch the finals. Moreover, I have been a die-hard fan of Manchester United for 20 years!”
After saying that, Musk was afraid that Ling Feng wouldn't believe it, so he took out his wallet directly from his trouser pocket, and then took out a red magnetic card from the wallet.
That is actually a Manchester United membership card!
Seeing this, Ling Feng suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote between Musk and Manchester United before time travel and rebirth.
During the acquisition of Twitter in 2022, Musk suddenly made explosive remarks on Twitter about acquiring Manchester United!
As soon as the news came out, it directly detonated the entire football world.
You know, Musk was the world's richest man with a net worth of over $200 billion at the time!
Buying Manchester United is a piece of cake.
Therefore, almost all Manchester United fans were so excited that they knelt directly in the living room at home.
All I had to do was set off firecrackers or fireworks outside the house.
You know, they have suffered from the "vampire" Glazer family for many years, and they are tired of shouting "Glazer OUT".
If you hate the Glazer family so much, how much do you want Musk to buy Manchester United!
So, when hearing the news, all fans who care about Manchester United only have one thought in their hearts:
It’s dawn!
Unfortunately, what broke the hearts of countless Manchester United fans was that before they could be happy for too long, damn Musk took to Twitter the next day to clarify that this was just a joke.
Then, perhaps a large wave of Manchester United fans poured into the comment area, criticizing his remarks this time, saying that he deceived his feelings and so on.
This forced Musk to tweet again, claiming that if he really wanted to acquire the team, he would only choose Manchester United.
Because that is the team he has fallen in love with since he was a child!
At that time, the Manchester United fans who had been fooled by him certainly did not believe that he was trying to make up for it.
Now it seems that Musk at least did not lie about "he is a Manchester United fan"
Seeing Musk being so sincere, Ling Feng also rolled his eyes, "What a coincidence. ? I am also a small shareholder of Tesla. ”
Hearing this, Musk suddenly became interested:
“Are you serious?”
“Of course!”
After that, Ling Feng also clicked on the phone Use the stock market trading APP to open the list of stocks you hold and hand it to Musk.
When he saw that Ling Feng actually held more than 20 million US dollars in Tesla stock, Musk also showed a surprised look:
"Twenty million US dollars?! You are no longer a minority shareholder, you are qualified to join the company's board of directors!"
You know, Tesla's current market value is US$53 billion.
Twenty million U.S. dollars in stock is equivalent to 0.04% of the entire Tesla stock!
"Although I am very grateful that you spent so much money to buy my company's stocks. However, I am still curious and want to know why you would do this? You know, 20 million US dollars is not a sum of money. "Small amount"
Faced with Musk's curiosity, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and blurted out:
"Of course I am optimistic that Tesla will become the most powerful car company in the world under your leadership!"
"I believe that electric vehicles will become the mainstream tool for people to travel in the future. And Tesla He is also the best in the electric vehicle industry. I can’t think of any reason not to buy your company’s shares.”
After a conversation, Musk became very interested in the young man in front of him.
As far as he knows, many professional players have not attended college.
But the most popular young man in football in front of him, his conversation and cultivation do not look like someone who has never gone to college.
Moreover, just being able to spend 20 million US dollars to buy Tesla stocks is enough to prove that this young man is definitely not one of those professional players with strong limbs and simple minds!
"By the way, after saying so much, I still don't know what you are here for."
"Maybe you are here to visit your girlfriend like me."
Although I don’t pay special attention to entertainment news.
However, the farce of divorce between "Captain Jack" Depp and Amber Heard is also well known around the world.
Especially when Barbara joined the cast of "Justice League" and became colleagues with Amber Heard, who plays "Queen of the Sea", Barbara would also share with him the daily filming routine of the crew during video calls.
During the period, it was also mentioned that Musk would pick up Amber Heard from get off work almost every day.
However, what Ling Feng didn’t expect was that he would meet Musk once in a blue moon!
Facing Ling Feng’s teasing look, Musk smiled slightly and spread his hands: “As you can see.”
It is worth mentioning that due to his achievements in high-tech, Musk is called the real-life "Iron Man"
And his girlfriend Amber Heard plays the "Queen of the Sea" Mera in the DC movie.
Iron Man and Queen, isn’t this another victory for Marvel? !
While Ling Feng and Musk were having a friendly and pleasant conversation outside the studio, the shooting ended unknowingly inside the studio.
Under the guidance of her manager, Barbara walked out of the studio first.
Then she saw her boyfriend standing outside the door.
"Hi!"
Before she finished speaking, Barbara rushed up and gave Ling Feng a big hug.
After giving Ling Feng a big kiss on the face as if no one else was watching, Barbara asked:
“Why are you here?”
“I came here specially. See my hard-working baby!”
The young couple tilted for a moment, and then Ling Feng remembered that Musk was still standing next to him:
"Baby, let me introduce you, this is the friend I just met, Mr. Musk"
< br>"How are you?"
At this time, the red-haired "Queen of the Sea" Amber Heard also walked out of the studio.
Seeing this, Musk's eyes lit up, like a little boy in spring, and he immediately rushed forward.
"Baby, did today's shooting go well? Let me introduce you to the new friend I just met."
After Musk's introduction, Amber Heard also knew that this handsome man in front of her The handsome black-haired young man is not only Barbara’s boyfriend, but also the hottest superstar in today’s football!
Looking up and down at Ling Feng, Amber Heard suddenly felt that Musk around her was no longer good.
If she really had a choice, compared to the rich and talented Musk, she actually prefers the rich and handsome Ling Feng
Of course, at this moment, holding her arms Musk, who was sitting on her waist, had no idea that his girlfriend was thinking this way.
He just opened his mouth to invite Ling Feng and the two:
"By the way, Ling, what are your plans later? Do you want to have a cup of coffee together?"
Hearing this, Ling Feng First, he turned to look at his girlfriend next to him. Seeing that she didn't respond, he nodded and said:
"I'm very happy!"
