Chapter 513
Yao Ming scratched his face, still a bit worried.
"Dragon Kingdom basketball is not doing well lately, maybe we can use this show to trigger a basketball craze, right?"
Xu Feng coaxed him.
Back then, *Captain Tsubasa*, such a magical soccer manga, could trigger a nationwide soccer craze and become the second most popular sport in Japan after baseball.
Twenty years later, the Japan team could actually defeat the Germany team in the World Cup; perhaps *Captain Tsubasa* had a part in that.
So why couldn't *Slam Dunk*, the ceiling of sports anime, trigger a basketball craze in the Dragon Kingdom?
Maybe it could even produce one or two Jordans or O'Neals... uh, that’s a bit difficult.
After all, Japan doesn't have evening self-study until nine o'clock; their schools let out at three or four, so students have plenty of time to practice, while Dragon Kingdom students might have to go home and do homework...
"Uh, alright then."
With Xu Feng’s silver tongue, he finally persuaded Yao Ming to join.
However, Yao Ming’s personality needs to be adjusted; after all, although they both look big and rough, their actual personalities are like heaven and earth.
But fortunately, Yao Ming’s face is quite fierce when he’s not talking, so coaching him to act should be much simpler than Jay Chou.
With this, the five main players of the Xiangbei University team for *Slam Dunk* were confirmed—
Xu Feng as Hanamichi
Yao Ming as Akagi
Yan Yikuan as Rukawa
Zhang Yishan as Miyagi
Hu Ge as Mitsui
And the important characters besides the five-man basketball team were also basically confirmed~.
For example, Liu Shishi as Haruko, Gulnazar as Ayako, Uncle Tat as Coach Anzai...
"Director Xu, aren't you going to play Rukawa yourself?"
Yan Yikuan, who had worked with Xu Feng many times and had played the filial son Uchiha Itachi in *Naruto*, was quite surprised after reading the script.
He felt that the role of Rukawa was undoubtedly one of the characters with the highest status in the entire show.
Not to mention being liked by women, he also joined the Xiangbei basketball department as a highly anticipated basketball superstar, and almost took on 80% of the cool scenes for the Xiangbei team in every game.
It was simply perfect for Xu Feng, the recognized "King of Cool" in the entertainment industry.
However... he actually chose Hanamichi?
"Rukawa is too boring."
Xu Feng laughed.
He felt that the world misunderstood him, Xu, too deeply.
It’s not like I have to play cool-type roles.
And although they both have cool attributes.
Rukawa’s coolness is like Madara and Aizen, who are smooth when they act cool.
It’s more like Sasuke.
Likes to act cool but doesn't have the strength to pull it off well.
For example, after Sasuke got the Mangekyo, he really thought he was invincible, and then he was educated by Killer Bee and the Five Kage.
Rukawa is pretty much the same.
Likes to play one-on-one, but is immediately educated by Sendoh from Ryonan and Maki from Kainan.
I have to say, these two are truly the "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick" of the cool world.
By comparison, Hanamichi Sakuragi is much more interesting.
Especially his line, "I am the King of Rebounds! Hanamichi Sakuragi!", which carries the youth of countless basketball teenagers.

#Preparation for *Slam Dunk* officially begins, Xu Feng joins hands with Yao Ming...#
When such news spread, finally someone could steal the heat from *Diga*.
Previously, Xu Feng’s works were updated twice a week.
Therefore, although they would dominate three or four trending topics every Saturday after the update, the heat would basically fade away after two or three days, by Wednesday or Thursday.
Therefore, others in the industry could still drink some soup after Xu Feng finished the meat.
But damn, this time *Diga Ultraman* is updated daily!
And unlike *Naruto* and *Bleach*, which have buildup and then climax plot types.
The episodic *Diga Ultraman* can trigger intense discussion.
For example, the latest episode, *Dreamy Dash*.
Between Mayumi, played by the legal loli Chen Yao, and Tomo, guest-starred by Sasuke Wu Lei.
That love that transcends life and death.
Earned the tears of those ordinary people who are kind-hearted and still hold beautiful yearnings for love.
【Although because of Sasuke, I don't have a good impression of Wu Lei now, I was really won over by him in this episode, especially when he said, 'I will love you forever, forever, forever!'】
【Watching this episode reminds me of my mother. If human souls are really made of plasma, please let me see her one more time】
【Brother upstairs, Auntie will be smiling at you from far away in heaven】
【Sorry, although the romance between Mayumi and Tomo is very moving, I just want to know how many times Da Gu and Shinjoh have crashed their planes after watching this episode?】
【GUTS Wing 1: Spare me】
【Vehicle killer, right?】
【This wave is a dream crossover between JOJO and Diga, you know?】
……
……
Besides Wu Lei, the post-95 actor who officially rose to the first line by playing Sasuke.
The legal loli Chen Yao, who had been in the third line and lukewarm, also reminded the audience of her through the role of Mayumi.
Isn't this Yue Qiluo from "Zhang Xianzong, I have a toothache"?
She didn't quit the industry?
Sigh, it can only be said that after entering the traffic era, Tang Ren’s ability to promote people is getting worse every year.
A girl who looks so exquisite and has good acting skills can only struggle in the third-line position.
If it were Xu Feng, one show would be enough to make you take off.
And regarding this, the legal loli is very enthusiastic.
Perhaps she knows that Xu Feng likes her baby face.
So every time he lets her... um, according to Xu Feng, this gives him a sense of guilt for corrupting a minor... cough, cough, stop, stop.
……
……
However, only those ordinary people who still hold kindness in their hearts were moved.
Many people in the industry, especially capital parties like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou who have been in high positions for a long time and whose hearts have long been polluted by the big dyeing vat of the entertainment industry, only felt it was nonsense after watching *Diga*.
What is this crap?
Why can such a childish plot in their eyes achieve such terrifying results?
Souls meeting lovers in the form of plasma conversion after death?
Isn't this nonsense?
Just like the sentence Xu Feng said to Yang Mi before.
You always embrace the darkness, which is why you don't believe in the light.
Just like this group of people representing capital who only think about making bad movies to cut the audience's leeks.
Of course they can't understand the meaning Diga wants to convey.
But they don't care about that; the key is that this little bastard Xu Feng and this show have stolen all their heat!
You know, *Full River Red*, which Zhang Yimou collaborated on with his father Jackson Yee, officially wrapped up a few days ago.
They were originally planning to buy some internet water army to brush up their presence in front of netizens.
