Chapter 337: Crazy Thoughts
The villa is a multi-villa complex with a video arcade, bar, sauna, swimming pool and a golf course. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Michael Jordan is a minority shareholder here, and it's like a small city with all the entertainment in it. For the next day, it belonged to the Charlotte Bobcats.
"Man, it's nice here!" Jordan said.
"I've only heard of it, but I never thought I'd be here. Chen Mo said.
This celebration party is allowed to bring family members, but unfortunately the only people who came with Chen Mo were Jessica, and Agali had already left in the morning on a plane. After all, it was already very difficult for her to find time to accompany Chen Mo to play in the finals.
And Chen Mo learned that there will probably be some successful people in other industries who will come here.
"Have fun, relax!" Jordan patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.
In fact, Chen Mo doesn't particularly like such parties, especially this kind of extravagant mountain villa party.
Although he grew up in the United States, Chen Mo has always belonged to the kind of guy who is more homely, and he has never liked this kind of party with a mixed number of people.
Curry also doesn't like this kind of drunken luxury, which is similar to the two of them.
The idyllic life in the suburbs is what they love most.
"Do you think I'm like an old guy who lived in the last century?" Chen Mo asked Jessica.
"I don't like it either, but it seems that the role of this kind of party is not only entertainment, but also business!" Jessica said.
Chen Mo smiled: "You are right, David (Falke) called me just now, and he will come over soon." He said that he still has two friends together, probably some important project to work on!"
Not long after, a blue Mercedes-Benz drove into the villa, David Falck stopped the car next to Chen Mo, and Chen Mo saw that there were two people sitting in the back of the car. But unfortunately, he didn't know him.
"Jack, I'll park the car first, you're here and I'll wait. ā
When they parked their car, David Falke walked over with the two men.
Chen Mo thought, these two people are probably Falke who wants to introduce him to him, maybe it is not a big project!
"Hello Jack Chen. I'm Mike Tollin. One of the middle-aged men with gold-rimmed glasses said to Chen Mo.
"Mike Tollin?" In Chen Mo's impression, there is really a guy named Mike Tollin, who is the director of a famous large-scale documentary in North America, "Thirty Chinese New Year's Eve Legend".
"That's right, it's Mike Tollin. The middle-aged man laughed.
"This is Nick Cooper from CAA, let's go in and talk!" Falke said.
Chen Mo said hello to Nick Cooper, and they walked into the hall together.
In the lobby on the first floor, there is a long table with red wine and snacks.
Falck poured five glasses of wine, and then they went to a corner closer to the corner and got down to business.
Mike Tollin said, "Jack, what you've done this year has been amazing. It's a script that God can't even write, and it's a natural super script. ā
Chen Mo listened to Mike Tollin while sipping red wine.
"Jack, I have a particularly crazy idea. I want to make a huge documentary about your entire career, starting next season, and we'd like to follow you in the offseason and shoot some footage in the offseason. Your career has been legendary so far, but I'm sure it's going to be even more so later. How about it, do you want to cooperate once. Mike Tollin said.
Chen Mo frowned and said, "It doesn't seem very good to show my life to others." ā
"Jack is like that, we can talk about the price aspect, it's a really big project. It's a big win-win project that we should talk about. Nick Cooper said.
Chen Mo looked at Falke, and Falke smiled: "Whether this project can be accepted requires you to make a decision, and how much we can sell it is my job." ā
Falck pulled Chen Mo aside and said, "Jack, I actually think this project can be done." The main shooting is the story of the season, which should not cause you too much trouble for life in the offseason. ā
"Let's talk about the price first!" Regarding money, Chen Mo will definitely not refuse.
After some negotiations, Cooper offered a seemingly high price.
"4 million an hour, calculated according to the duration of the final playback, and the part less than an hour is counted as an hour. ā
Guper is the first investor Torin has found, and after the project can be confirmed to continue, that is, after Chen Mo agrees to shoot, they will definitely go back to find more investors to cooperate with and enter the project.
And the price given by Cooper is also an approximate price, but basically the price will be calculated according to the time of the film, after all, this is a super documentary that runs through the entire career, no one can predict how long Chen Mo's career will be, and the price is definitely unreasonable. Moreover, such a price calculation model is also a good way for investors to avoid risks.
Chen Mo's brain was quickly calculating the gains and losses, and such payment methods were not necessarily beneficial to him. But as long as his career is good enough and he can stay at the top of this league, that way will work well for him.
"After we complete the project, the price will fluctuate, but I promise that it will only be more, not less. Cooper said again.
In the end, Chen Mo preliminarily agreed to the project.
They signed a preliminary agreement, which was not the final contract, but Chen Mo agreed to the project, that is, he agreed to shoot a documentary. After that, Mike Tollin will continue to gather some investors, then set up the shooting team, and then everyone will sign the final contract together.
For this cooperation, Chen Mo is still quite satisfied.
Many NBA stars have their own documentaries, such as O'Neal's "Unique", Maddie's "Three Points", Garnett's "Rebounds", Kobe's "Kobe Bryant's Work in Progress", and the most famous, Michael Jordan's "Extreme Flyer Jordan", which started the NBA player documentary trend. In addition, stars such as Ivers, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Hill, Ray Allen, and Wade also have their own documentaries.
Chen Mo has already created a miracle season in the NBA, and Chen Mo believes that this is just the beginning of a legend, so he can't fall behind those guys when it comes to documentaries.
If this project can be successfully launched and brought to a successful conclusion, it will definitely be a miracle in the history of North American sports documentaries, and it will also be the best and longest documentary among NBA players.
Of course, this crazy project must first be able to be completed. But Chen Mo is confident that after all, he has the Vic Ring, and his next career will definitely not lack excitement.
Falck accompanied Nick Gooper and Mike Tollin elsewhere, after all, tonight's party was mostly entertaining, celebrating. Falck has a lot of work to talk to Chen Mo about, but now is certainly not the time. And as Chen Mo's agent, he also needs to accompany Gu Pers and Torrin, who are about to become big partners.
"Fame is a good thing! It's so easy to make money. Chen Mo said to Jessica.
Jessica covered her mouth and smiled, "I remember you told me at the earliest time that money is hard to make and is hard to eat!"
Chen Mo smiled and said, "I heard that the whole row over there is a love room, the two of us have to have a good time tonight!"
"Before the party starts, you're thinking about the night, bad guy. Jessica said.
It didn't take long for the dinner to begin. After all, it's a celebration party to celebrate the championship, and everyone from the boss to the manager to the key players has to take the stage to speak.
At this time, Boss Joe can be described as high-spirited, this is his first year in charge of the team, and the team's profitability has almost become inevitable this year. At the same time, he was voted the best agent of the year, which silenced those who laughed at his vision and management skills.
Chen Mo satisfied Jordan's competitiveness, vanity and all other psychology, and let Joe Gang Leader enjoy the highest honor in his team manager era.
Jordan's speech praised himself, but he will not forget the biggest contributor to the team's championship. In short, the theme of Jordan's speech was to blow two people, one was himself, and the other was Chen Mo.
The high-spirited Boss Joe went down, and Sloan came up.
The old handsome's face was full of the vicissitudes of time, but he couldn't hide the excitement and excitement on his face.
If the Bobcats won the championship, the most excited person could only be Sloane.
After 23 years of pursuit, his dream came true, and he was relieved.
"Thank you to the city and to all the staff in the team...... This season was too dreamy for me to imagine, and this morning I woke up thinking I was dreaming, so I quickly turned on the TV and watched the news......"
Sloan said a lot, and at the end of the day, tears rolled in the old man's eyes again.
Sloan made the atmosphere a little heavy, and Chen Mo's first sentence after taking the stage was a joke to break the heaviness.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Jack Chan on his success in defending his title. ā
Chen Mo's words caused a boo from the audience.
"In fact, when it comes to this time, the most important thing to do is to thank everyone, including myself. ā
"There's no doubt it's a great season, so let's have a blast after a great season!"
Chen Mo's speech was very brief, and the next time quickly entered the part of entertainment and play.
Chen Mo has always been very restrained in drinking with his teammates, but tonight he obviously drank too much...... Slightly less drunk than last time in Los Angeles. When Chen Mo returned to the room tonight, he was clearly "playing games" with Jessica.
The saying that wine is an intestinal poison is not wrong at all, Chen Mo failed to wake up naturally for the first time this morning, and slept until noon.
"Good afternoon!" Chen Mo went out to say hello to Gerard Wallace.
Obviously, everyone was a little too wasted yesterday, and basically didn't get up until noon. Except for yesterday's dinner, today everyone is in a state of free activity, and you can go wherever you want to play in Riley Hills.
Chen Mo and Jessica, as well as Gerard Wallace and his wife, the four of them were making a barbecue in the courtyard behind the villa.
Sunshine, grass, swings and blue skies.
The excitement of the carnival had slowly faded, and when the summer sun was mottled on the ground through the shadows of the trees, and the cool breeze blew away a little hangover drowsiness, Chen Mo suddenly thought of a bastard guy who should have appeared here talking about yellow jokes and gags.
"Did you call Stephen?" asked Gerard Wallace.
The women were talking about fashion and gossip, and when it came to these things, all the women were almost all good sisters.
The two men stood in the dappled shadows of the trees, thinking of their comrades who should have celebrated together.
"He went to New York for surgery, and he was in a bad condition, so he won't necessarily be able to come back this time. Chen Mo said.
Gerard Wallace said: "It's a bit too unexpected, it shouldn't have been, he's a good player. ā
"I'll help him stay. Chen Mo said.
Gerard Wallace shook his head and said, "It's too hard, it's a business." If you have an injury that's enough to scrap your career, I think you're going to get kicked out of the way. ā
Chen Mo was silent, he stretched out his hand, and a beam of sunlight shone on his hand through the branches of the leaves.
He was my best friend, and my father told me from a young age that if a friend you really approve of is in trouble, as long as you have, do everything you can to help him. ā
Mature as Gerard Wallace couldn't possibly ask, "Am I counted?" and he smiled and said, "Let's go! You were really able to drink last night, and today we drank Coke, and you can do it again if you have the ability." ā
"Whether it's Coke or Gatorade, you're not going to drink me. Chen Mo said with a smile.
Chen Mo took out four large bottles of Coke and gave Gerald Wallace two bottles. "To be honest, I haven't drunk it in years. ā
"You were very good yesterday, didn't I admit it?" said Gerard Wallace, looking very embarrassed.
Chen Mo said: "No, I just don't like to admit it, just do it!"
Gerard Wallace didn't notice at all that Chen Mo's two bottles of Coke were flattened as soon as he pinched them. These two bottles of Coke Chen Mo have done tricks and feet before, and he has already let off his breath.
The end result...... Gerard Wallace has once again conceded.
In the afternoon, Chen Mo was taken to the back golf course by Jordan.
"Can you play?" asked Jordan.
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "No!"
Master Qiao told Chen Mo some rules, and then taught Chen Mo to play two shots.
"It feels good!" Jordan praised, "Let's play a game?"
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Okay!"
Anyway, it's here to play, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose anyway. But Jordan's gambling addiction seemed to be committed again, and he said, "Let's add some lottery! 10,000 dollars?"
"Okay! Feel free!" Chen Mo said lightly, he felt good about the few hits just now, although Jordan was also an old club on the golf course, but Chen Mo felt that he really didn't necessarily lose. (To be continued.) )
