Chapter 217: Grievances
In April, Fast and Furious 4 was released and achieved good box office results.
Previously, Fast and Furious 3 was released in 2006, when there was neither Donald nor Brian in the lineup, creating the worst box office result since Fast and Furious, and the global box office was only 158 million.
Fast & Furious 4, with the full lineup back, and the help of Wang Tomorrow and Gal Gadot screen actors, successfully ignited the series.
Fast and Furious 4 was a great success, with an investment of 85 million, a North American box office of 155 million, and a global box office of 336 million.
Gal Gadot and Wang Tomorrow have attracted many fans, especially Gal Gadot, who shows off the devil's long legs on the screen and attracts countless fans.
After its release, Gal Gadot received many invitations to shoot films.
Wang tomorrow helps Gale choose a film to shoot.
Among them, there is a movie that caught Wang Mingming's attention.
"Wonder Woman?"
"Yes, inviting me to an audition doesn't mean I'm the main actor." In the film "Wonder Woman", Gail is also more excited, and the audition role is Diana Prince, the protagonist of Wonder Woman.
"I think you can try it, I think it's a very good film." Wang Ming nodded, he felt that this was an opportunity for Gail's acting career to develop upward.
"At the end of June, you will audition in Los Angeles, and you will be done by then, can you come with me?" Gal Gadot pleaded pitifully.
Wang Ming pinched her delicate nose and agreed, "Of course you can, no problem." ”

After the first round of battles, a few families were happy and a few were sad.
In the top four in the East, there was no capsizing, except for the 76ers 4-1 Heat, the Magic swept the Hawks 4-0, and the Cavaliers swept the Pistons 4-0.
The most surprising was the Celtics vs. Bulls game.
The young Bulls, facing the Celtics, played a jaw-dropping level of offense and defense.
Derrick Rose scored 36 points and dished out 11 assists in his first career playoff game to lead the Bulls to an upset away win over the Celtics.
Then the Celtics found that the Bulls, who they didn't look down on, actually made them play every game with special conviction.
The two sides fought seven games, and finally at home, the Celtics won this round of the series 109-99, almost closely, and they were about to be given the "Black Seven".
In the West, the Lakers beat the Jazz 4-1 and the Nuggets beat the Hornets 4-1.
The Spurs, who also played in the Finals last season, were not in good shape, losing 4-1 to the Mavericks in the bull-horse battle. Because of injury factors, the Spurs' GDP combination this year is one less Ginobili, one less troika, and the combat power has declined a lot, while the Mavericks are slowly forming a chemical reaction with Kidd, and the strength of Kidd + Nowitzki combination should not be underestimated.
The Rockets, which Chinese fans are most concerned about, broke through the first round again this year, defeating the Trail Blazers 4-2.
According to the format, in the Western Conference semifinals, the Rockets will play the Lakers, and the Mavericks will face the Nuggets.
And in the East, the Cavaliers vs. Magic, the 76ers vs. the Celtics.
Wang Tomorrow felt a little pity, if the Bulls really upset and won against the Celtics, the second round would be much easier, but unfortunately, the Bulls still fell short in the end.
He can foresee that the Bulls will become a dark horse that will be pulled out separately in the entire playoffs, and it is rare in the world to be able to play seven games against the Celtics.
This is also the creation of Rose, after this round of the series, the breakthrough is rapid, and the gorgeous Rose has become a favorite of fans and is sought after, and the league deliberately fueled the flames, and titles such as the Bulls Revivals and Windy City Roses began to resound this summer.
"There are so many Bulls fans."
Wang tomorrow counts, the Bulls have a lot of fans around the world, this is the legacy left by the Jordan era, Rose + gorgeous style + Bull heir identity, a new star is rising.
After the first round, some awards were gradually released.
Derrick Rose won Rookie of the Year, Jason Terry became Sixth Man of the Year, Dwight Howard was named Defensive Player of the Year, and Danny Green became the Most Improved Player.
In the selection of the best head coach in the league, the Cavaliers' Mike Brown defeated Rivers, Phil Jackson, Wang Mingming, Adelman and others by a huge margin to become the league's best head coach this season.
In the MVP selection, James and Kobe Bryant are indistinguishable.
The two have a lot of similarities, for example, Kobe Bryant and James both almost single-handedly brought the team to such heights, while James helped Mo Williams become an All-Star, and Kobe Bryant also trained Al Horford to become the mainstay of the Lakers.
In terms of selection, James's stats are better, but Kobe Bryant has won almost every Player of the Month in the West.
The Cavaliers already have Brown winning the best coach, and Kobe Bryant, as the first person in the league, has not had an MVP in his career.
In the end, Kobe Bryant won by a narrow margin, defeating the young emperor and lifting the first MVP trophy of his career.
Cavaliers fans feel sorry for James, but at the same time, they rationally analyze that there is nothing unscientific in the league awarding MVP to Kobe, who did play an MVP-level performance in the past season.
.......
On May 4, the 76ers flew to Boston to take on the Celtics on the road.
For the first time in nearly two years, the 76ers have played the first two games of a series on the road, something that has not been experienced for a long time for a 76ers player.
Boston and Philadelphia are not far from each other, and both cities are classified as NBA Atlantic Division teams.
Over the years, the Celtics have risen, the 76ers have also risen, and the two cities have met several times in the playoffs, and fans have long been red-eyed.
This time again, the new and old hatreds are together, and before the war starts, the saliva has already flew.
"It's not difficult to beat the 76ers, they don't have a good record this season, they are already worse than us, this time, we won't make the mistakes of last year, we will definitely beat the 76ers!" Kevin Garnett said this in an interview.
After a media turn, it became Garnett's bold words to take the 76ers lightly.
Subsequently, Millsap replied unconvinced, "The Bulls' record is not as good as the Celtics, but they almost eliminated the Celtics, and the record is just a way to show the regular season form." Celtic are just our losers, they're too old, they're older this year, and we're stronger. ”
Millsap's sharp words directly exposed the Celtics' scars, which made the Celts extremely angry.
The game between the two sides has not started, and it is already tense, and tension lingers in it.
