Chapter 203: Film Investment

At 143:120, the Portland Trail Blazers won a hearty victory at home, and the Pistons in 1985 were still the same as they were in 1983, with countless holes on the defensive end, even if they had Bill Lambir, they couldn't stop the Trail Blazers' wolf-like offense.

With 22 points and 18 rebounds, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, Gan Guoyang's frontcourt rebounding data also broke his own record this season.

Van Deweic recovered from injury and scored 30 points in three consecutive games, while Drexler continued his all-around performance, with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, and three rebounds short of another triple-double.

"If Gan grabbed a few fewer rebounds, I could have a triple-double." Drexler said in his post-game interview.

Regardless, it was a pretty perfect game, and the Trail Blazers once again gave the Portland fans a great show on the night.

And with this victory, the Trail Blazers won the next three games.

On March 21, they traveled to Phoenix to face the Suns, and after trailing by 17 points at halftime, they fought back in the third quarter to make a comeback.

It is worth mentioning that this is the reversal of the biggest point margin achieved by the Trail Blazers this season.

They then returned to Portland, where the visiting guest was the Los Angeles Clippers.

Bill Wharton returned to the place where he was once regarded as a hero, but there is already a new hero here, although Wharton's performance was decent, 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, but his injury-torn body could not stop Gan Guoyang from scoring 40 points on his head and picking up 15 rebounds.

At 137:125, the Trail Blazers won another big game.

But the game between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers wasn't over yet, and two days later, on March 23, the Trail Blazers flew to Los Angeles to play another game against the Clippers at the dilapidated Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

This time, on the home court of the Clippers, Portland was still bloodless, 120-99, effortlessly slashing the opponent off the horse.

Wharton still had no more than 16 points and 9 rebounds, and Gan Guoyang had no passion at the Clippers' home court, with 10 points and 10 rebounds unsatisfactory, but this did not affect the Trail Blazers' easy victory.

After this game, the Trail Blazers also won six in a row, improving their record to 47-25, ranking second in the West and third in the rankings because of the division rules.

"Go to the bar tonight, you've played so well, I think you can indulge a little bit......" In the Trail Blazers' locker room after the game, Kenny Carr sent an invitation to Gan Guoyang to go to the bar with him because of the back-to-back wins, and the slightly dull atmosphere of the team's previous road trip was swept away.

"Thank you Kenny, but I still want to go to the gym tonight to practice shooting, and I have to play against the Lakers the day after tomorrow." Gan Guoyang's main activity after the game is to go to the training gym to practice, and recently he has also felt the benefits of additional training, that is, his performance on the field has become more and more consistent - except for this game.

In addition, the day after tomorrow, the Trail Blazers will face the strong rival Lakers again in Los Angeles, so Gan Guoyang wants to practice for another hour after the game.

"Don't be so willing, do you always have to come to me when you have a problem? Let's go together, we've won six in a row, everyone is happy, and you can do push-ups when you get to the bar! Karl said as he hugged Gan Guoyang's shoulder.

Gan Guoyang wanted to say "what is six consecutive wins", but he thought of what Carl had said to him, every player has a different attitude towards victory, and for a player like Carl, it is indeed a happy thing to be able to win consecutive games.

"Alright, then let's go out and have fun." Gan Guoyang hesitated, but agreed to Carl's suggestion and went to the colorful Los Angeles with a few teammates to have some fun.

Every time he comes to Los Angeles, the memories in Gan Guoyang's mind are like a full-length movie, which is always endless.

But in fact, he still doesn't know enough about the city of Los Angeles, because the places he has been to are always related to basketball, such as the Great Western Forum Arena, such as UCLA, such as the street court in Inglewood, but Gan Guoyang knows very little about the sound and color places in this entertainment capital, such as the Foxtail nightclub on Santa Monica Boulevard.

"Where is this, Carl?" Gan Guoyang got out of the car after Carl, an old gangster, and couldn't help but ask as he looked at the various luxury cars he had never seen in the parking lot.

"This is the famous Foxtail nightclub, everything is great here, don't believe me ask Clyde!" Karl pointed to Drexler behind him.

"Clyde?" Gan Guoyang looked at Drexler with a smile behind him, and every time Gan Guoyang saw Drexler show this slightly shy smile, he felt that his hairs stood on end.

"You're a celebrity in America right now, a celebrity! Do you understand? As long as you beckon, there will be countless beautiful women who look like they drool on your body, do you know what I mean, little Chinese fool? In this regard, Carl has always thought that Gan Guoyang is a fool, with Gan Guoyang's current situation in the NBA, beauties can want as much as they want, and Gan Guoyang seems to really only have such a woman as Wang Fuxi until now.

"I'm not a fool, I have my strengths when it comes to dealing with women! But I don't like to meet some uncultured women in this kind of place. Gan Guoyang heard Carl call him a fool, so he shot back.

"Oh my God, self-cultivation? What the fuck are you talking to me about self-cultivation? What is Conservation? Do you think playing basketball is very refined? Don't make a fool, the players just need to relax after the game and fuck something...... But I admit that your horse is indeed very beautiful, better looking than all the girls I have ever met, combining the mystery of the Oriental and the sexy of the Americans, oh~ It's that she wears a cap all the time, so I can't see it clearly. Carl began to criticize Wang Fuxi, Wang Fuxi, as a Chinese-American mixed-race child, does have a "shocking" feeling in appearance, even if this person is a black man like Kenny Carr.

"Thank you Kenny, I'll tell her your compliment, but I don't want her to know that you told me this at a nightclub, even if I didn't do anything."

"Hahaha, don't be shy anymore, let's go, maybe meet your friends or Hollywood stars here." In the foxtail nightclub, there are indeed many celebrities haunting.

Gan Guoyang didn't expect that he really ran into an acquaintance, that is, his former roommate at UCLA, the Qian Moss who played the Spring Palace in the dormitory with the cheerleaders of the team.

Of course, it was Qian Mos who saw Gan Guoyang first, because Gan Guoyang's group of people was too conspicuous, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the nightclub.

Gan Guoyang was also startled to see Qian Moss who came to say hello in the dim light, since leaving UCLA, the contact between the two has naturally gradually decreased, except for the occasional Gan Guoyang will receive a postcard from Qian Moss.

After Gan Guoyang entered the NBA and became a professional player, the busy game made him quickly forget about this playboy, but Chammos is obviously a sociable person, and a friendship with Gan Guoyang back then can already make him go to his box with Gan Guoyang in his arms like meeting an old friend.

"You know, there are a lot of your fans at UCLA, of course there are a lot of female fans, and if you stayed at UCLA, I dare to pack the tickets, and the cheerleading girls will be in your pocket." Qian Moss has never been a child, and he has not seen Gan Guoyang for a long time, but he can still talk about some "profound" topics with him.

Gan Guoyang was originally handsome, with an avant-garde hairstyle, tall and robust figure, and the most attractive to women, so as soon as Qian Mos said it on the phone, Gan Guoyang also felt that the estrangement caused by the two of them not seeing each other for a long time had also been removed.

"I recently invested in a film that is already being filmed, but I think we may be shooting something too avant-garde and worried about the box office. However, anyway, I'm just investing and playing, and if I lose, I'll lose a game in Las Vegas. When Gan Guoyang asked what Chammos was doing lately, although Chammos was still in college, he would not reply that he was in class, but that he was making movies.

"Who directed the film?" Gan Guoyang asked.

"Director? I don't know the director, I'm just a small investor anyway, I just give money and collect money, but the producer I know, it's Spielberg, because he's the producer, so my father agreed to lend me money to invest. "Chammos uttered a name that is so popular in the entertainment industry.

Gan Guoyang knew as soon as he heard it that there was a chance that this film would be a big hit, and it seemed that Qian Moss would definitely make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Gan Guoyang's heart moved, since Qian Moss can invest in movies, why can't he? Although Gan Guoyang does not have much pursuit of money, Gan Guoyang also knows that to survive in this society, whether it is a beggar or a superstar, money is needed.

It is not uncommon for many stars in later generations to go bankrupt after retiring, not to mention that Gan Guoyang also knows that the contract he is taking now is really a drop in the bucket compared to his future stars.

So Gan Guoyang told Qian Mos what he thought.

"You also want to invest in films? Oh Gan, investing is risky, and I don't want all your hard-earned money on the pitch to go down the drain. Qian Mos looked at Gan Guoyang and seemed to think that Gan Guoyang's investment in movies would definitely fail.

"No money Moss, I promise that if you invest with me, you will definitely make a lot of money." Gan Guoyang has already thought about it, although he doesn't know much about American movies, he still knows some very famous films, and when the time comes, he will invest money in these films, so that he can not only make money, but also follow the trend of history and reduce the risk of accidents, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

"Don't brag about it, by the way, the director and screenwriter of this film will come to this nightclub later, you know, the director is very fortunate to make a movie, and he also needs to rest and relax." Chammoth said with a smile.

"Director and screenwriter?" Gan Guoyang wants to see who this is.
