Ginobili actually admires Tang Tian very much.

A person who plays ball with his brain will naturally be closer to his kind.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Ginobili is Ginobili, who is still talking here after being so badly injured.

But this is also his character, it seems to be riotous, but it is full of optimism and positivity.

"I will." Tang Tian nodded.

The shutdown season lasted a full two months less than the average season, but the league still scheduled 66 regular season games to minimize losses.

This means that each team will have a large number of back-to-back games.

The Spurs finished playing the Clippers and will play the Lakers the next night.

The good news is that the Clippers and Lakers share a common arena in the same city, so they don't have to dump the space anymore.

Ginobili's injury made Popovich more cautious, and the next day he arranged for a simple shooting drill, and then let the players go to rest.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Tian called Ridley Scott and tried to make an appointment with him.

It just so happened that the great director was in Los Angeles and directly invited him to his home as a guest.

Scott, although British, spends most of his time in Los Angeles and it's normal to have property here.

"What a rare guest, welcome, 'Godfather.'" Scott greeted him at the door.

"Thank you." Tang Tian and Scott shook hands cordially, and the great director gave him enough face.

"You said you had a new idea on the phone?" Invited Tang Tian to the living room to sit down, and before the maid's coffee was brewed, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes." Tang Tian nodded, that's what he said to Scott on the phone before.

"What thoughts?" Scott looked at him with a glow, he needed inspiration so badly right now.

"Do you know Andy Weir?" Tang Tian asked.

Scott shook his head.

"He's a writer." Tang Tian continued.

Scott still shook his head, he had read a lot of books at his age, but he hadn't heard of this person.

Scott's reaction is normal, Andy Weir is only in his 40s, and Scott is not likely to see this kind of work by a young writer, but it is a good thing.

Tang Tian and Scott didn't have much contact, limited to chatting when they met by chance in Hollywood last time.

Scott's personality and preferences he couldn't fully understand for a while.

So it's not like if you take those movies out of the future, and Scott will behave like "Wow, what a point!" "You're just a god's idea" and so on.

Everyone has preferences, and it's not easy to do what they like.

But Tang Tian is a traverser, and traversers have benefits, and he can't figure out Scott's preferences at once.

But there are some things that Scott is 100% not going to refuse.

"When he was in '09, he wrote a very good science fiction network called "The Martian"." Tang Tian then spoke.

"The Martian", a science fiction movie that caught fire in 2015.

The movie tells the story of an astronaut who is accidentally left on Mars due to a mechanical accident, then survives on his own and eventually escapes from Mars.

The film was a box office hit at the time, earning seven Oscar nominations that year.

Who is the director of this movie?

It's Ridley Scott in front of him.

I don't know about your personality and hobbies, but if I tell you in advance about the movies you will make in the future, you will definitely not refuse, right?

And the point is that this is the movie that will be made in a few years.

"That sounds like a good name, but what is it?" Sure enough, Scott quickly showed interest.

"This ......" Tang Tian then said the general content of "The Martian", and also talked about the concept of the movie by the way.

Scott's eyes lit up when he heard it, the "Prometheus" he was making now was also a science fiction movie, and Tang Tian's new proposal was right in the heart.

"This is very similar to the theme of island survival, but it is placed on an alien planet, and the audience for movies with this kind of theme has always been very large."

"And I know that NASA (NASA) has been working on Mars exploration, seeking the possibility of human migration to a new planet, but because all the exploration and research is confidential, in fact, the audience is very curious about this, and if you can make a semi-revealing movie, the box office will definitely be bad."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Scott couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Should I pay you for the screenplay?" Scott couldn't help but ask after laughing.

"You should pay Andy Weir for the screenwriting fee, I just recommended it to you." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Scott smiled and nodded.

"I owe you a favor." He continued.

Although Tang Tian said it very lightly, if it wasn't for Tang Tianti, he didn't know when he would be able to contact this one.

"Actually, I have one more thing to trouble you." Tang Tian then spoke.

"You just say, as long as I can do it, even if you want to make a movie, I can be your director." Scott was so happy at this point.

"No, no, it's not that exaggerated, that's it, I have a friend who is also an actor, but she's just a newcomer, but she has good acting skills, I hope she has the opportunity to star in the movie "The Martian", of course, I just recommend her, can I use it and then decide." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

The words that Olsen said last Christmas showed that she was in a very bad situation now, and Tang Tian came to Scott today for this.

"No problem."

Scott replied very simply, he just listened to the content of this movie, the core of the movie is actually only the male lead, the other people's roles are very few, and the role of a supporting actress is insignificant in comparison.

And Tang Tian also said that it was just a recommendation, it was already polite, and he couldn't be polite, he had no reason to refuse.

The two chatted for a while, and agreed to meet again in a week.

After leaving Scott's home, Tang Tian called Olsen and told her the news.

Olsen was quite excited over there, Tang Tian even helped her with the director this time, this is really more than just helping.

After taking care of Olsen's affairs, Tang Tian then went back to the hotel.

That night, the Spurs-Lakers game kicked off at the Staples Center.

The Lakers traded away the team's sixth man, Odom, in the new season, and the core lineup is a year older, and the overall strength has declined a lot.

Although the Spurs are missing Ginobili, their overall strength is still much stronger than that of the Lakers, and they finally defeated their opponents 98-91 and ushered in two consecutive wins in the opening game.

Tang Tian's performance was still remarkable, playing 26 minutes, shooting 4 of 7, scoring 3 three-pointers plus 2 free throws, contributing 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, including a key three-pointer in the second half of the fourth quarter.
