Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 930 - 929 Avoid being in the limelight

Chapter 930: 929 Avoid being in the limelight

Whether he wanted to or not, whether it was planned in advance or not, Li Wei was back in the spotlight, stirring up a storm on social media with overwhelming force.

The situation, faintly slipping out of control, was now spreading on a grand scale—something even the paparazzi hadn’t anticipated.

Even Donald Yee was showing a hint of concern—

Donald’s worry wasn’t misplaced; football players had never quite stirred such waves before. In contrast, basketball often saw drama, thanks to the Kardashian sisters stirring the pot, with the NBA perpetually caught in storms every now and then.

Now, a spectacle comparable to the Kardashians’ drama was roaring past in full force. Donald had never faced anything of such magnitude; even Brady and Bundchen, despite their fame, had long settled into a calm and uneventful life together.

These rumors, seemingly harmless, were actually a headache of a different level. Speculations, based on mere fragments, could expand limitlessly thanks to the wild imaginations of netizens. The future development of the scandal might not be pretty, with no limit to how dramatic and absurd the gossip could get, dragging him into unnecessary entanglements.

In the end, it could lead to backlash.

Take a look at the NBA’s ongoing “Kardashian storm,” or Beckham’s whirlwind of gossip. While Donald hoped Li Wei could generate a global sensation akin to Beckham’s, he absolutely did not want Li Wei to become surrounded by endless scandals. The paparazzi’s intrusions and pursuit could shift Li Wei’s focus away from the field.

That might very well spark the beginning of calamity.

So Donald thought to himself, better to tread cautiously. They needed to cool things down before the situation escalated further.

“…Li Wei, perhaps it would be wiser to lay low for now and let things quiet down.”

“You know how online trends move, don’t you? The hot topic refreshes every hour. All it takes is three to five days, and this wave will pass. By then, no one will even mention it anymore.”

Li Wei revealed a smile. “Like goldfish, with only a seven-second memory, right?”

Donald looked slightly exasperated; it was obvious Li Wei wasn’t worried at all.

Not only was he unworried, but he seemed utterly at ease and completely unconcerned.

Donald tried to convince himself that this was a good thing. If Li Wei remained unaffected by all the chaos, then it wouldn’t have any real impact on him. Yet, Donald knew it wasn’t that simple. Li Wei might not care, but the team and other players noticed, and the coaching staff couldn’t help worrying and speculating.

The uncontrollable, unpredictable nature of human minds was the true challenge here.

Over the past two seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs had managed to overcome crises in key moments, and one key factor had been the solidarity of the locker room.

Donald didn’t want these harmless-seeming off-field distractions to become a factor disturbing the team’s chemistry next season. Beckham’s past lesson was a cautionary tale that could not be forgotten.

Taking a deep breath, Donald still patiently advised him.

“Take one step back, and the sea will widen.”

“In the current situation, letting the noise settle down a bit would only do us good. Everything has its limits.”

Though Donald’s words were somewhat veiled, not directly spelling it all out, Li Wei instantly understood—

Even he hadn’t expected to be caught up in such a whirlwind.

And yet, this was the nature of the universe. Good things often came paired with bad; hardships might conceal opportunities. Everything was a double-edged sword. When Li Wei broke through the mold and created historic achievements, the accompanying attention carried potential troubles—baseless, fabricated troubles.

Fame breeds controversy—it was as simple as that.

Donald’s advice was perfectly clear to Li Wei.

Tonight, Li Wei was planning to attend the global premiere of “Avengers 4” at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles—

An invitation sent personally by Marvel Studios’ head Kevin Feige.

Undoubtedly, the release of “Avengers 4” was the biggest event of the year. As a major milestone marking ten years of meticulous planning by Marvel and Disney, the movie had been drawing attention since a year ago, with anticipation and discussion skyrocketing to carnival levels.

Just like how sports fans eagerly anticipate the World Cup, Super Bowl, or the Olympics, film lovers had their own annual excitement.

And that was “Avengers 4”!

Whether you loved superhero movies, hated them, or looked down on them, there’s no denying that over the past decade, superhero movies had become a major part of pop culture—and now they were about to reach their peak.

Clearly, everyone wanted to be part of this movie’s history, everyone wanted to step onto the red carpet of its premiere, akin to the Super Bowl.

Feige, Hollywood’s most influential producer of the past ten years, had tracked down Li Wei’s phone number himself and extended a personal invitation.

He said, “For a landmark event like this, we shouldn’t be missing another cultural icon representing this era.”

Li Wei had no reason to refuse—

Perfect timing too, no need to wait for spoilers.

Li Wei jokingly responded to the invitation, and Feige personally expressed how very excited he was to finally meet Li Wei in person.

However, all of this happened *before* “Saturday Night Live.”

Neither Donald nor Feige anticipated that what seemed like a simple talk show appearance would unexpectedly unleash a remarkable wave of energy, and the accompanying off-field drama would ignite social media, overshadowing even the summer blockbuster season.

Now, Donald was worried:

Li Wei was already on the razor’s edge of public scrutiny. If he attended the “Avengers 4” premiere, it might further fuel the frenzy.

They couldn’t afford to add fuel to the fire.

Look, Li Wei had just been swept into a Hollywood storm with Swift, Ariana, and Scarlett. And now, was he about to jump into an even more turbulent, exaggerated, and insane catastrophe?

Anyone could guess: the spotlight of the “Avengers 4” premiere would be ten, even a hundred times brighter—effectively pouring gasoline onto the already burning Li Wei.

And they’d just stand there, watching him charge into the oil depot?

No, this shouldn’t happen.

After all, no one knew Feige had invited Li Wei. No one was expecting Li Wei at the premiere. If he skipped it entirely, there wouldn’t be any reaction.

On the contrary, it’d be perfect to let the “Avengers 4” premiere’s hype overshadow everything else, diverting the netizens’ attention and cooling down Li Wei’s heat.

In the digital age, every news cycle was fleeting. Hype rarely lasted long. Soon enough, the goldfish minds would latch onto the next big thing.

Donald’s calculations were entirely reasonable—

They had been planning and forecasting to expand Li Wei’s influence, yet never had they imagined a day would come where they’d worry about him being *too* popular!

That being said, from the perspective of branding and long-term strategy, overexposure wasn’t a good thing either. Control was necessary.

Donald looked at Li Wei earnestly, offering his professional advice.

But Li Wei had a different opinion.
