Chapter 889 [Lively July, My Emperor Has Returned to the Throne]
"Edge of Tomorrow" surpassed Angelina Jolie's "Maleficent" and Michael Bay's "Transformers 4" after its release, and topped the box office for several weeks. However, the total box office failed to surpass "Captain America 2", and "X-Men" a group of mutants.
This movie has received a good reputation, and everyone who has seen it thinks it's okay, even though it's just a commercial popcorn movie, and the aliens are a bit fake, and there are some small bugs.
The witch of "Maleficent" is actually the righteous stepmother, and the family that loves Sleeping Beauty.
As for "Transformers 4", there are too many bugs, the plot is childish and too lazy to complain, and the imposed Chinese elements are even more blunt.
Only "Edge of Tomorrow", there are funny, fights, love, everything. The biggest attraction is that Zhou Xuan hung up in a variety of ways, and he was shot and killed by Kolo many times. Considering that the two are often together, some people say that it seems to be the story of the two in a parallel universe.
The most important thing for a movie is to rely on publicity, if it weren't for Zhou Xuan's performance, the box office of this movie might not be too high. Now Asia and Europe are booming, but North America has a mediocre response. Many people are curious about whether the scandal between the two is true, and they are even more curious about what it is like for a basketball player to act in a movie, and the number of fans is more than that of movie fans.
Experts predict that "Edge of Tomorrow" is likely to surpass "Avatar" in China and win a box office of about 2 billion, thus becoming the overall champion of the box office list in Chinese film history, a new milestone.
As of the end of July, "Edge of Tomorrow" had a global box office of 7. 4.5 billion US dollars, foreign media expect the global box office of the film to exceed 800 million US dollars.
Zhou Xuan could become the first NBA star to be featured on the Walk of Fame in the future, but he was robbed of the headlines in July. The person who attracted the most attention was LeBron James, who staged a "Return of the Emperor".
The Cavaliers signed James back from his contract. That's right, the eternal pain in the hearts of the people of Cleveland, the guy who stabbed the city so hard in front of the media all over the world that the fans of the city gritted their teeth and burned their jerseys when they thought about it came back to be the "emperor"!
Last year, this was a team with a lot of potential new stars, and they didn't get along very well, and the Zhengtai had conflicts off the court, and they were in a hurry on the court, and it was extremely disappointing that they couldn't make the playoffs in the end. Now it's suddenly a championship contender. From a business point of view, it cannot be said that the knights have been successful, it should be said that they have achieved great success.
McMiller followed, James Jones came to hand over towels, and then the Cavaliers traded away those who didn't want to stay and shouldn't, clearing room for James' arrival.
"I have more affection for Northeast Ohio than I do for basketball." At the press conference, James said affectionately: "I didn't realize this four years ago, but now I do. ”
James also said. 'The saddest thing is to let go of the relationships I've built with the players, I've talked to some of them and I'm going to talk to others.
It was previously reported that the letter of rebuke written by the team's owner, Dan Gilbert, in 2010, was one of the reasons why James was slow to make up his mind to return to the Cavaliers. In that letter, Gilbert accused James' departure of being cowardly.
"Dan and I met, and we spoke one-on-one," James said. We talked about it all. Everyone makes mistakes, and I'm no exception. ”
Minutes after James made his decision, Gilbert also tweeted: "Welcome KingJames home. I'm happy for the fans and citizens of Cleveland and Ohio. There is no other place where people are more deserving of victory. ”
In the end, the so-called "mistake" is that Gilbert should not tell the fact that James is a coward? Or should James not join the Heat?
In stark contrast to Gilbert's joy was Heat owner Mitch Allison, who tweeted his disappointment. "I'm shocked and disappointed that James is joining the Heat."
Incidentally, a group of Heat fans scrambled to the outskirts to get out their grills or braziers for a record-breaking barbecue. It's not meat skewers, it's James' jersey.
James said happily in an interview with reporters: "I'm home! That tone seemed to be Zeng Xiaoxian kissed Hu Yifei, a little embarrassed, and finally returned to the love apartment after running away from home for a while.
In fact, James's story is more like: a woman saw a big money named "Heat", abandoned her poor husband "Knight", divorced for 4 years, failed in a big business, had no reproductive function, and had no children after the union of the two parties. At this time, the woman's ex-husband developed because he even won the lottery. The woman immediately stated, "I figured it out, I still only have knights in my heart, this is love that cannot be denied." Then, James didn't look at Wade, and left with his back in a dashing manner, not taking a cloud with him.
Miraculously, most of James's fans, the media, are praising it. is like Chen Meijia said: "Are you still afraid that the Heat fans will jump off the building again, isn't there still a crooked neck tree?" ”
Of course, there are many people who hate James, who scold James on the Internet for being disgusting, and cite some examples of James's hypocrisy, trying to make people see his true colors.
It's useless, it's always blind to love someone. Just as Nick Young fans don't feel that Shaoxia's lack of passing is a shortcoming, in the eyes of many Jammy, James is perfect, and the goal of human evolution is James, not James.
In any case, the Knicks have one more opponent next season, and the Cavaliers are not weak at first glance, and now they have five champions, as well as a couple of high-pick rookies, experienced veterans on the inside, and catch-and-throw shooters on the outside.
Other teams have also made trades to bolster them.
Charlotte Hornets (formerly Bobcats) signed Lance Stephenson in the middle class, and the Clippers didn't have a matching contract and didn't think it was worth it. Stephenson's shooting ability can't compare to Redick's, and his breakthrough ability can't compare to Crawford's.
The Hornets also signed Marvin Williams for two years and $14 million. Even though Williams used to be a solid pitcher and an excellent defender, the contract was premium, and his peak tally was just a double-double.
In addition, the two-year, $2.75 million signing of Brian Roberts is definitely a good deal, an excellent bench bandit point guard. They're winners in free agency and are aiming for the playoffs next season.
The Wizards made a big move, they signed veteran Paul Pierce, kept Masingotat, welcomed DeJuan Blair and Chris Humphries, and the roster was stronger.
Another reason for the Wizards' excitement is that Washingtonian Kevin Durant is likely to join in 2016.
From now on, the Wizards' goal is to show Durant that they are competitive enough and that there are enough reasons for Durant to sign them to a contract.
This is not a pipe dream, and if Durant wants to win a championship in his life, staying with the Thunder is a dead end.
The Pelicans also made a big move, trading to take Omir Asik.
Anthony Davis can finally go to the No. 4 position. And Asik was on a contract that expired, worth fifteen million in the final year, and the portion credited to the salary cap was $8 million. If Eric Gordon had fought hard and jumped out of his contract year, or if he hadn't been happy jumping out of his final year of 15 million contracts, the Pelicans' total salary on the Pelicans' payroll in the summer of 2016 would have been less than $40 million. They could give Anthony Davis a luxury upgrade before giving him a five-year contract that summer.
So, despite the loss of sharpshooter Anthony Morrow, defensive gate Aminu and basket guardian Jason Smith, they still maintain a high degree of salary structure flexibility, and if the current roster does not work well, they can immediately make further adjustments, and there is a way out.
The Miami Heat are not idle, Lore Deng's $10 million contract is good, and Josh Mike Roberts' is even better. It's a pity that LeBron is gone, and it's useless to say anything else.
The Houston Rockets were nervous, and Morey signed Trevor Ariza in a contract year again, and the last time he signed Ariza in a contract year was the Rockets, and then he played a mess and was sent away for one season.
The Rockets also brought in Alonzocki, blue-collar big man Joey Dorsey, and Jeff Adrian. These three are likely to make some changes to the team, but they don't look like they can win a championship.
The Pistons traded a lot, and they took money not for money, continuing the same style as before. DJ Augustin 6 million for 2 years, Yodim Micks 19 million for 3 years, Meeks, who has been brushing up on the Lakers last season, has such a high salary, which is simply too exaggerated, and he is not qualified to be a starter.
The Knicks didn't keep Augustin, he was poor defensively, but he just played well in the system, 3 million was too much, and Mullin was only willing to give a base salary.
Also spending money is the Suns, they signed the Kings small man Isaiah Thomas with a large contract, and if you play two point guards, you don't have to defend at all, and it's hard to imagine Dragic playing the No. 2 position.
The Los Angeles Clippers poached Spencer Hawes, a big man with a range from beyond the three-point line. They also got good point guard Jordan Famar. Replacing Darren Collison with Famar is a roster upgrade as they look to fight the Knicks to the death next season.
The Pacers got CJ Myers and Rodney Starkey for very little money. Starkey most thought of the Knicks hugging his thighs, but unfortunately Mullin didn't look down on people like him who had a three-point shooting rate of less than 30%, and he was not good at organizing as the No. 1 bench.
The Lakers took Meeks, brought in Xavier Henry, and another Knicks player was poached.
Other teams made the first move, but the Knicks were slow to move. Mullin always held his breath. He believes that people who really want to win the championship, not ask for money, are also calm and will not sign lightly. He's looking for someone like that.
