Chapter 541 - The New NBA Star 1 (1/2)

Jake waved to the fans who were shouting his name while the security guards were protecting him and taking him to the cinema, Jake asked the security guards to stop because he still had to wait for his friends before entering the cinema.

Jake saw the fans shouting his name and decided to go and sign some autographs for the fans who had just come to see him for a few moments, Jake was not a famous actor so all his fans liked basketball or athletics.

Jake had arranged an hour with his teammates and he had come earlier, after all, he might have to do something before entering the cinema that Warner Bros wanted him to do and Jake wanted to guarantee.

With Jake seeing how he was on the movie road he realized he was right, reporters realized that Jake had stopped walking towards the cinema and started calling him for an interview.

They knew there was no interview scheduled, but only Jake had come to this Premiere and they thought that Jake would be the only famous person who had come to this Premiere and they had to try to talk to him.

Jake didn't mind talking a little bit about the film before the film started because he knew the film better than anyone, even though he still hasn't seen how the film has changed with him participating, it shouldn't be that different.

”Jake, this is the first major character you play in a movie, how do you feel about that?”

”I am a little anxious to know what the critics and the public will think about my performance, it is a dream that I realized by participating in this film and I hope that I have other opportunities in the future.”

”What do you think audiences and critics will think of The Matrix?”

”I am confident that everyone will like this film very much, it is a story that has a very deep theme and that can make you think about it for a long time, but the directors did it in a way that you can understand it easily.”

”Keanu, Laurence, Carrie, and Hugo had excellent performances and that made the film more exciting, even more so in the action scenes and in the fight scenes, so I think the audience will really like the film.”

”Jake, a question about basketball, you were chosen as the player of the month this March and you had already been chosen as the player of the month in February, do you think you can win the MVP award this season?”

”I don't know what's going to happen, I am happy that everyone can recognize my effort in the past few months and it is an honor to be chosen as a player of the month, but there are many players who have also had excellent performances.”

”My team even had Shaq and Kobe who played very well, Karl Malone, Allen Iverson, and many players could also have been chosen as the player of the month, so only at the end of the season can we know, but it would be a dream come true if I won this award.”

”Jake, the Los Angeles Lakers team had 30 wins and just 2 losses this season, do you think you can win the NBA title this season?”

”I think so, of course, there are several teams that also have the opportunity to win, but I believe that our team has the ability to win and we will strive to achieve that.”

After answering that question, Jake decided to go to the cinema entrance to avoid having to answer several questions, he thought that reporters would only ask about the film, but it is not strange that there were also sports reporters waiting to interview him.

After a few minutes Rick had arrived and the reporters who were paying attention to Jake didn't realize that Rick had arrived until some fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team who were at the entrance to the theater to see Jake recognized him and started calling his name.

Rick did not want to talk to the reporters and was quick to go over to where Jake was with the security guards, Jake noticed this and told the security guards to go help the other players who would come for them to enter the cinema.

The security guards understood that this was important and understood that they had to help Jake's other guests get into the cinema, especially if they were as famous as Jake was in basketball.

Soon Kobe arrived and Jake ordered the security guards to come and help him, reporters and fans realized it was Kobe and security guards had a hard time again looking for Kobe who also did not want to speak to the reporters.
