Watching Yao Ming on-site indulging in a 'health drink,' Zhang Yang felt satisfied and participated in the following filming segment with the production team.
There were still scenes to be shot on Yao Ming's side. With Jordan making an appearance today, Chaotian Channel wanted to capture footage of both icons together, and neither of them declined—either fake dead or be dead for real.
During his first meeting with Yao Ming, Zhang Yang didn't have an in-depth conversation with him, just an acquaintance. He'd wait until after establishing himself in the NBA, when Yao wouldn't look at him with 'benevolent eyes reserved for a Chinese kid playing in the NBA.' There was no rush; they could always talk more later.
That night, Zhang Yang saw his photo on Chaotian Channel's official website—the one of his O-shaped mouth agape in shock as he watched Yao Ming drink the 'health drink.' Chaotian's reporters were really sly; didn't they say the cameras were off?
