"When does the game start?"

At the bar, Duka asked while filling out the registration information.

"The finals in mid-August and the preliminary round are in the United States. You need to finish in the top three in the Los Angeles competition, or rank in the top 50 in the world's scorer list before you are eligible to go to Munich to participate in the competition. You can get

Top three in the United States?”

"certainly!"

"Don't be so confident. You must know that the Rifle Association holds shooting competitions every year. There are not many sharpshooters in the country, and those who participate in the Shooting World Cup must be the sharpshooters among sharpshooters."

Matthew Foster chuckled.

"Don't use aggressive methods. Since I agreed to the competition, I will definitely go all out, otherwise I will be sorry for the gun in my hand."

Duca said while writing.

"Haha, it's good if you think like this. You just need to train hard and play on time. Leave everything else to me."

Old man Matthew Foster is not only his coach, but also his sports agent.

"Is there any prize money in the competition? If there is a prize money, I will be more motivated."

"Of course there are bonuses. The Shooting World Cup is the same as the Football World Cup. Athletes who enter the qualifying rounds and the finals will receive a corresponding proportion of bonuses. However, football is a major event and shooting is a minor event. The competition bonuses are much smaller. The last shooting champion won

US$680,000, maybe more this time.”

The prize money for World Cup competitions mainly comes from game tickets, television broadcasts, advertising sponsorships, etc. The more income from these projects, the more prize money athletes receive. The more games they participate in, the more prize money they receive.

"In addition to the competition prize money, there are also advertising endorsements. If you can become famous in the competition, you can get endorsements when you return to China. If you are spotted by big brands such as Nike and Adidas, oh oh~, you may become

Millionaires, even multi-millionaires.”

Matthew Foster said excitedly.

"Millionaire? That sounds pretty good."

Duca smiled without blinking.

"Duka, there are fourteen events in the men's shooting competition. Which one do you want to choose?"

"Can each person only choose one?"

"No, there is no rule that you can only choose one. It's just that the competition schedule is tight and the pressure is great. Too many entries will bring a lot of burden and pressure to the body, thus affecting the performance of the competition. Therefore, for athletes, choose the best

project is more suitable.”

Matthew Foster explains.

"It sounds reasonable. I have never participated in a competition. I will try out three entries first to see if I can withstand the pressure and enter the finals."

"What three things do you want to report?"

"The 50-meter automatic pistol fires 60 rounds slowly, the 25-meter automatic pistol fires 60 rounds rapidly, and the 25-meter standard pistol fires 60 rounds rapidly."

Duca marked three pairs on the form.

"Your 50-meter target and 25-meter target are both good, and the rifle is also good. How about we do a test during training and choose the one with the best results?"

"Okay."

Duca nodded.

Matthew Foster drank two glasses of wine, reminded him of weekend training, and left the bar with his hat in hand.

Duca continued to mix drinks for the new guests.

——

The next day he went to the Los Angeles Shooting Club and did a number of design tests at the shooting training center, including more than 20 rifle projects, pistol projects, air rifles, air pistols, rapid fire and slow fire, moving targets, flying saucers, etc.

project.

After testing, he performed best in the pistol event, with eight events including 50 meters, 25 meters, 10 meters, slow fire, rapid fire, and moving targets, all showing international standards.

In five events, the score is no less than the gold medal winner of the previous Olympic Games.

Coach Matthew Foster looked at the game data sheet in his hand, and the shock on his face kept changing.

Originally, he thought that Duca's performance in the 50-meter slow shot was good enough, but he didn't expect that the 25-meter data was even better, and the 10-meter data was even close to a perfect score.

After testing ten items in a row, firing hundreds of bullets and placing them on other athletes, I fell down early from exhaustion.

But this guy doesn't blush, doesn't pant, doesn't shake his hands, and can still produce such top-level statistics. He is not a sharpshooter, he is a god.

"Matthew, how did I do?"

Duka walked over with a double-barreled air rifle and asked.

Matthew looked at the guy in front of him. He originally thought he would take this guy to participate in the 50-meter pistol shooting, and he had a good chance of winning a medal.

Now it seems that I underestimated this guy too much. The goal of one medal is too small. One gold medal or two gold medals would be more appropriate.

Thinking of this, Matthew's breathing suddenly became rapid, his head became dizzy, and his face turned red.

"Matthew what's wrong with you?"

When Duka saw Matthew about to fall to the ground, he immediately stepped forward to give him a hand.

"Medicine! Medicine!"

Matthew pointed at his coat pocket with trembling hands.

Duka dug into the old man's coat pocket, found a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills, took one out and gave it to the old man to take.

After more than ten minutes, Matthew slowly recovered and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Matthew, if you're not feeling well, just rest at home and don't go to the club to shoot."

Duca poured him another glass of water.

"It's okay, it's an old problem. Let's talk about your results. Generally speaking, it's not bad. You have a chance to enter the finals. But there is one thing you must pay attention to. This is the training ground. If you can get good results on the training ground, you can get good results on the training ground.

Not necessarily at the competition venue.

The environments on both sides are different, the atmosphere is different, and the degree of tension is different. The final results will be very different. Formal competitions have higher requirements on the psychological quality of athletes.

So you must not be complacent or complacent. If you compete with this mentality, you will definitely suffer big losses."

Matthew said seriously.

"Understood, I will pay attention."

Duca smiled and continued practicing his gun.

After training for a day, he drove back to the villa in the afternoon, and Monica was there too. There weren't many things going on in the company during this time, and she didn't have to plant flowers in the company every day.

When he came back, Monica was lying on the bench by the pool in the backyard reading a script, and several puppies and kittens were rolling around on the lawn.

"Dear, I'm back."

Duca took off his coat and shouted.

"What were the test results?"

Monica put down the script and asked.

"Not bad, I have a chance to get a medal."

Duka leaned over and kissed her forehead.

"real?"

Monica said in surprise.

"Of course it's true. How about we go to Munich together in August and you go to see me receive the award?"

"Okay, it's settled, but you don't have to force it. Just compete as hard as you can. You don't have to win a prize."

"Haha, you are such a considerate sweetheart."

Duca couldn't help but give her a passionate kiss.

"What script are you reading?"

Duca sat down and poured a glass of red wine.

"The crew of "Four Hundred Years of Shock" is about to start shooting."

"Yeah?"

Duca took the script and looked at it, hesitated and said,

"My dear, this role has too few scenes and doesn't have much performance value. Otherwise...we give up this role and I promise to find you a better role in the future."

Monica stared at him, "Don't you like it when I play such an explicit scene?"

"Oh~ No, I definitely don't mean to interfere with your career. I just think this kind of role is not important. Acting or not will not help you much. Besides, you are the vice president of LV Pictures. We have no shortage of resources and

There is absolutely no need to play a supporting role for others in a movie like this."

Duca said tactfully.

Monica nodded slightly, "Then do you like me playing such an exposed role? You can speak your mind."

"If I say I don't like it, will you think I'm stingy? Too controlling?"

Duca asked hesitantly.

Monica looked at him quietly and suddenly laughed,

"Dear, you are my boyfriend. You have the right to express your like or dislike of what I do. If you say you don't like me playing this kind of role, I will naturally not play it. There is no need to be so careful."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Of course, I'm not an exhibitionist. Why do I like this kind of role? Do you think I'm abnormal?"

Monica asked dissatisfied.

"No, I misunderstood. I live in Mexico, a country with conservative concepts, and you live in Italy, a country of art. I know your cultural traditions and thought you didn't care about this kind of drama. It turns out that I misunderstood. I apologize.

, and thank you for your willingness to accept my suggestions."

"You're welcome, thank you too."

Monica smiled slightly and leaned on his shoulder.

——

The next day Monica called "400 Years Later" and turned down the role.

Since that role was not important, the film producers did not hold him accountable.

That day Winona called her, "Duka, what's going on with Monica? Why is she not acting anymore? I even spoke for her back then."

"Sorry Winona, it's mainly my problem. The role was too revealing and I didn't like it, so Monica rejected it."

"Are you really playing with her? Are you really dating?"

"Of course, I'm always serious, okay?"

"It's hard to imagine that you don't look like a man who is dedicated to feelings at all."

"Hmph~ You are prejudiced. I will use practical actions to break your prejudice against me."

"Haha, I don't think you can do it."

Winona smiled.

"Wait and see. How are you and Depp doing? There has been a lot of news about you in the newspapers recently."

Duca flipped through the newspaper and said.

"You said it right. When we were filming "Edward Scissorhands", we were so involved that we fell in love with each other. After calming down for a while, we found that each other was not the most suitable person.

He likes to smoke, drink, take drugs, gamble, rock and roll, and get tattoos, while I prefer to stay in a quieter environment, listen to light music and read a book.

Several times I saw him so drunk that he vomited everywhere on the floor and bed, and I suddenly felt disgusted.

I can't accept his imperfections, and continuing will only make each other miserable, so we separated, but we haven't made it public yet."

"Okay, when you're done, remember to come to the bar and sit down. I'll make you a few drinks to make you forget your worries."

"Haha, in addition to wine, there are also stories. The story of Snow White can also be used."

"no problem."

After chatting for a while, the two agreed on a time. Duca hung up the phone, looked at the time, started the car, and came to Tom Collins' recording studio.
