Healing Doctor

Chapter 627 The So-Called Genius

Compared to Wenbanyama, Neymar has a much higher profile in China.

During several World Cups, countless girls stayed up all night for Neymar, and their social media feeds were flooded with pictures of him.

Fans who are good-looking are not football fans, but for the production team, their value is much greater than that of actual football fans.

When the producer heard that Wenbanyama had been replaced by Neymar, although both are horses, this horse is not the same as that horse. He was stunned for a moment, muttering something to himself, somewhat lost in thought.

Is Director Fan just that lucky?!

For a moment, the producer vaguely believed the rumors that Director Fan secretly kept some kind of object at home that could enhance one's luck.

Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain it.

Less than five minutes later, he saw Director Fan running out in a hurry, looking disheveled and wet, wearing hotel slippers.

Those who knew the show understood that something major had happened, but those who didn't might have thought they'd been caught red-handed and were running away in a panic.

"Director Fan..." The producer rushed to Director Fan's side, "What's the situation over there?"

"Neymar is coming for surgery, and Ji Xiang informed me."

notify!

The producer seemed a little dazed when he heard the word.

"Is there any resistance on Neymar's side?" the producer asked as he ran out.

"No, Neymar is retiring. His management team says this is his last attempt." Director Fan looked excited, his face flushed. "I'll talk to Dr. Ji Xiang and try to get the show to stop hiding its name. Once Neymar's name is on the credits, the show will be a guaranteed hit."

"..." The producer was taken aback.

Director Fan got into the car, but the producer didn't follow. Instead, he stood in the neon lights of the night and watched Director Fan leave.

"Director, is there anything we need to prepare?" Director Fan's assistant took out his phone, prepared a notepad, and asked attentively.

"I wasn't really prepared," Director Fan said casually, letting out a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect something so good to happen."

"Will it really work?" Director Fan's assistant was still shaken by the Wenban Amazon incident and was afraid of being disappointed, so he asked nervously.

Director Fan looked at his assistant as if he were an idiot.

The assistant was a little embarrassed and explained awkwardly, "Director, I don't understand why. Dr. Ji Xiang is very young; he shouldn't have that much influence."

"Do you know what talent is?" Director Fan asked.

Director Fan's assistant wanted to say something, but seeing his director's serious expression, he swallowed all his words.

"A friend's child of mine played games during his freshman year of college and dominated all the internet cafes in the university town. Later, he won first place in a city-wide competition."

"Awesome!" Director Fan's assistant quickly came up to chime in.

Director Fan didn't care what he said at all and continued, "Later, the whole family went to the north to see the aurora. He wasn't interested in the aurora, so he went to an internet cafe in Nehe to surf the internet. As a result, he was outmaneuvered by a seemingly ordinary young man from there."

"Nehe, that young man is Prince Ning!" Director Fan's assistant exclaimed excitedly.

He's still young, and games are far more familiar to him than the medical dramas he's currently filming. Speaking of Nehe, Director Fan's assistant immediately thought of Prince Ning, who hails from there.

"Yes, later that young man got a name, and my friend's child was relieved," Director Fan recounted. "After all, he was a three-time league runner-up...?"

"Yes, yes, he was the runner-up," said Director Fan's assistant. "And then?"

"My friend's son remembered that he had only narrowly lost to Ning Wang, and he had the idea of ​​participating in the professional league. My friend tried to persuade him for a long time, but he was very determined. So he took a year off from school and went to a small team in Beijing to prepare to enter the e-sports circle."

Director Fan's assistant's eyes lit up; he loved stories like this.

"The child returned in less than a month."

"Huh? Why?"

"I was curious at the time, so I asked around. Apparently, it's very tough, and the players are terrible at it, unable to beat anyone, plus they're old."

"..." Director Fan's assistant was speechless.

"At 20, you're considered an old man in the e-sports world. It really is a world for kids," Director Fan remarked. "I talked to him once later, and he said it was because he wasn't talented enough."

"Wasn't it a narrow defeat to Prince Ning?"

"He said that after getting to know him, he realized he didn't even know how he lost to Ning Wang. It seemed like a close defeat, but Ning Wang had a hundred ways to make him lose. Later, he joined a semi-professional team, where everyone could easily beat him."

"He occasionally wins a couple of games because those sixteen or seventeen-year-old kids are sensible and let him win. He gave an example that I didn't understand, but it was something like the other person didn't even know any basic data and just relied on their skills, and they were using their left hand, so he got completely crushed."

"Holy crap!" Director Fan's assistant exclaimed in surprise.

"That's talent," Director Fan said confidently. "In our terms, it's being blessed by God. First, you have to be blessed by God, and then you have to work hard. In esports training camps, you have to do physical training every day from 8 a.m., and at least ten hours of technical training a day. I don't know how much more."

"That team must be very strong," said Director Fan's assistant. "Is it a team invested in by Wang Sicong?"

"What a joke, that team went under in less than two years." Director Fan laughed. "As for why, there's only one reason—everyone on the team was too bad."

"!!!"

Coach Fan's assistant only focused on the competition and those gifted young players. He never expected that after describing the rise of a prodigy, the coach would suddenly shift the subject—this person wasn't a prodigy at all.

Moreover, those "genius teenagers" who crushed him were simply not good enough, and the team disbanded in less than two years because they were too bad.

Where can I go to reason with this?

"A genius is a genius, and you've seen them all in our industry," Director Fan smiled. "But we don't rely solely on talent for a living, which is why you see some bizarre and amazing things. But that doesn't mean geniuses don't exist. Dr. Ji Xiang is definitely one of those geniuses."

Director Fan's assistant understood his son's logic, but he was hesitant to think about it.

That world was so unfamiliar that it was hard to even imagine.

"That kid later told me that his reflexes weren't even up to par with the reaction speed of an average professional gamer who'd stayed up for three days and three nights straight, exhausted and dozing off while playing. What's the point of playing then?!"

"Ji Xiang is a doctor with top-notch talent," Director Fan said confidently. "I have never doubted that his surgery might fail. If Neymar doesn't mind, I'm prepared to try to include some pre- and post-operative interview footage."

Director Fan's assistant silently watched his son's radiant appearance, genuinely wondering where his son's confidence came from.
