1205. Invitations and Answers
"James, I'm glad you invited me to the film, Jeff and I need to think about it......"
Because Schwartz came to remind Liu Mang in advance, Liu Mang did not directly refuse, James Gartner left after leaving the script, and he came and went in a hurry, and Levia's black tea was not cooked yet......
After James Gartner left, Schwartz said to Liu Mang: "Ace, don't look at him as not famous, and he is also very sloppy, but he is very talented, he is a very talented assistant director of Disney Pictures, just because he is a little neurotic and offends many people, so he is not appreciated, this is his first time making a movie as the chief director of Disney, and it will definitely be a great movie ......"
Before Schwartz finished speaking, Liu Mang interjected: "Jeff, you knew each other before, right?" ”
"Ace, do you see that? Yes, we have known each other for many years, and we used to be unambitious people, a group of wastes together, so that there is a topic to talk about. Schwartz smiled wryly.
This...... As if arousing Schwartz's sadness, Liu Mang hurriedly comforted: "Jeff, you are not a waste, you are the second agent in the NBA, and when Dwyan, Andre, and Josh get big contracts, you will be the most profitable number one agent in the NBA!" ”
"Thank you for your comfort, Ace, if it weren't for you, I might have switched careers to become a football agent, but I love basketball.
This time I really hope you can participate in the filming, this is James worked at Disney for 40 years, Disney agreed to let him shoot a movie independently, it is his lifelong achievement medal at Disney, he will retire after making this movie, without you, this movie is difficult to shoot, or even if it is made, it is difficult to attract attention...... Schwartz made a rare request to Liu Mang, and began to explain the reason for the difficult birth of this movie that Liu Mang remembered that should have appeared earlier.
Liu Mang listened to Schwartz's words and probably understood.
I don't know why, it may be because the NBA has stolen all the attention of NCAA Crazy March in the past three years because of Liu Mang's influence, resulting in the film not being able to start filming smoothly, and it has not been filmed until now.
When Liu Mang heard the name "Road to Glory", he immediately remembered the inspirational basketball movie he watched.
Because the Football World Cup is coming, the football inspirational movie "One Goal to Fame" has been popular as early as March.
And "Road to Glory", a famous basketball inspirational movie, has not yet appeared.
Liu Mang didn't expect that he would find himself here, and it may be caused by him.
If the NCAA does not agree to give Disney a free trial of portrait rights, the film will not be shot in the NCAA background, then the attention will obviously plummet, and Disney, although quite humane and willing to fund James Gartner to make a movie, does not give much budget.
This kind of inspirational movie doesn't need any special effects, so it will be shot quickly, and it is a million profits, the cost is very low, the props are ready-made, just use the NCAA stadium to find some actors who play tricks to shoot, mainly in the storyline.
But if you want to buy portrait rights with the NCAA, then the price is different, and the NCAA's senior management ...... Adam Silva is like a pure angel compared to them......
James Gartner wanted to contact the NCAA to make a movie, but the NCAA refused, and they didn't want a bad old man to take advantage of them.
But if Liu Mang agrees to make this movie, everything will be easy, Georgia Tech will definitely handle these things, Liu Mang is undoubtedly the best basketball player produced by Georgia Tech, and he is also the best basketball player produced by the NCAA in the new century, the NCAA side will definitely want to use Liu Mang's popularity to promote the NCAA, mainly in the face of Chinese fans, and all problems will be solved.
And with Liu Mang participating, Disney's budget will definitely be higher.
James Gartner originally didn't want to find NBA players to make this movie, but Liu Mang's performance this year is too good, and Liu Mang's "inspirational" is widely publicized by the media.
Although Liu Mang's average points per game this season is a new low after he started the game, the evaluation he got is higher than last year's average of 38 points per game.
Inspirational and selfless, it has become Liu Mang's label, which is completely different from a certain Los Angeles player, and has just become a positive teaching material......
Schwartz wanted to expand Liu Mang's influence and further develop Liu Mang's influence, so he contacted this old friend, which can be regarded as helping this old friend to fulfill his last dream before retirement.
Liu Mang is too low-key in addition to basketball, James holds the title of the King of Bliss and has earned millions in a few months, Liu Mang is the dance king who "created a precedent in the NBA", and he never thought of making money in this regard.
Liu Mang doesn't like to make money with dance, and Schwartz doesn't have any opinion, there is still a big difference between pole dancing and the dance developed around the genre of the Pure Land of Bliss.
But when Schwartz heard that his old friend wanted to fulfill his last dream before he retired, Schwartz began to actively promote it.
James Gartner's script has also changed a lot because Liu Mang may participate, which was supposed to be a team story, but it has also become a hot-blooded dream basketball movie based on individual plots and supplemented by teams.
Seeing that Schwartz was very serious, and indeed he didn't suffer any loss in this matter, Liu Mang responded: "Jeff, if I win the championship again this year, I will agree to make this movie, if I don't win three consecutive championships, forget it." ”
Liu Mang liked this simple but unstoppable script very much, but he didn't agree immediately, if he didn't win three consecutive championships, making this movie would be a joke!
The key is that after Liu Mang got the script, he saw that the storyline was very simple, but it was very enthusiastic, and it didn't take a lot of time to shoot the story, a few days were enough, and after filming his part, he could shoot other content, and finally edit it together, and he didn't need to do too much.
The main thing is that the content to be filmed is very simple, playing basketball, interviews, training, locker room content, some very simple things, not as troublesome as he imagined when he first heard that he was going to make a movie.
"Great, Ace, I'll go talk to James right away......"
Watching Schwartz say go, Liu Mang better understands why after more than ten years of NBA agent change, only Schwartz, an old agent, is standing and has become the number one agent in the NBA.
The human touch...... For superstars, a caring agent is the most important thing, as long as the ability is enough.
However, Liu Mang didn't expect that his goal in the NBA was to stifle other people's dreams, but making a movie outside the game was indeed based on the theme of selling dreams.
