“oh…… God bless me without any problems with my ears...... Even though I had heard incredible words before that. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Taylor got up from the sofa, glanced at Zhang Chen behind him, and said, "Honey, I want to confirm again, are you telling the truth?" ”
"It's true, I've figured things out now, I think I have to have more money, at least I can't sit back and eat, I should make our future more secure."
Taylor came to Zhang Chen and smiled slightly: "Okay, Chen, it seems that you have thought of a lot of things, but why did you choose "Avatar"?" Don't you know that the movie has made a lot of investors curse now, and many investors are vowing to find a sniper to kill James? Cameron, this money-burning director was hated by everyone! ”
"I don't think you're going to carry a sniper rifle around the world ready to take James? Cameron's headshot, right? Taylor added at the end.
Zhang Chen frowned: "However, as far as I know, his "Titanic" has also created a miracle at the box office, and so far "Titanic" still maintains the super position of the film giant, and no one can avoid "Titanic" to talk about the current Western film history." Therefore, I have reason to believe that "Avatar" should also be able to create miracles. ”
"Can you tell me why you're suddenly interested in these things?"
Zhang Chen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Because I have already thought about our future, and in order to be able to maintain my basketball dream after retirement, in order to make my dream come true, I also need a lot of money!" After Taylor heard Zhang Chen's words about us, she was suddenly a little excited, she almost thought that Zhang Chen was talking about being alone with herself. It's just that Zhang Chen's meaning is obviously not like that, but Taylor's misunderstanding also made her happy at least for a short time. Zhang Chen continued: "And 'Avatar' has given me hope, I have read a lot of reports, and I am also confident that I can let that weird old man who burns money come to make my investment pay for itself!" ”
"Okay, I don't have much say in that, but as you wish, I happen to know some friends who do this showmanship, and I also know a few people who work on the crew of Avatar, and I can get enough news for you, so the next thing you need to do is to be calm and wait for my news, okay?"
"Okay, but I want you to speed up your movements, because you know, Avatar is going to be officially released in October, and I need to hurry."
"I see!"
―――――――――― Zhang Chen came to this magazine called "Basketball Time", and saw Liu Xuan, who was struggling to write, and now with Zhang Chen's $500,000 capital injection, everything has become much simpler. This magazine also officially started the establishment of its own inaugural issue, because of the fact that there is a Zhang Chen behind this magazine, many members of the magazine are also more confident, and they are not too surprised to see Zhang Chen come to the magazine, but after saying hello, they are busy with their own things.
"What are you writing about?" Zhang Chen sat next to the table where Liu Xuan was writing, and then said to Liu Xuan.
"Now I am writing the frontispiece of the inaugural issue, and now that all the stalls of the magazine have been rolled out normally, what we need is the first blockbuster attack! So, I have to make this magazine even better, and also make our first magazine have a bright future! ”
When Zhang Chen heard the sentence of our magazine, he was suddenly a little passionate, looking at the studio that was still a little rudimentary, he suddenly said: "Is there anything else I can do?" ”
Liu Xuan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "If there is a thing, there is really one thing, I hope you can open a column in this magazine, write a little bit of your own opinion in each issue, and at the same time, you also need to publicize your behavior in front of your fans." ”
Zhang Chen was a little hesitant: "I may not be able to read what I wrote." ”
"I've read your blog, it's still relatively well-written, you can try it, and you can leave your own eternal memory in the first issue...... In the future, when this publication is famous all over the world, think about your handwriting in the inaugural issue, how amazing is that? ”
"Okay, then I'll try my best!" Zhang Chen also said that he would do it, and since he promised Liu Xuan, he took a book and began to write the first line.
Recently, there has been a trend of remarks in the league that this league has been thin, and it can only rely on a group of stars from 96 years to survive. The remarks also had a number of repercussions, and they also believed that the league was dead, a claim that seriously troubled the young players.
[Decades of NBA, ups and downs, full of mulberry, sword songs are not thorough, stretching from ancient to modern. The Golden Generation of Ninety-Six has made future generations look up to the mountains, blooming like stars in all corners of the alliance, and its influence will endure for a long time. The veteran players have never given up the maintenance of their pride and honor, and have never let go of the heavy glory of the championship in their hearts, more than ten years of NBA career has caused their physical trauma, but that glory has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow......]
In this article, Zhang Chen used various means to praise the persistence of the 96 golden generation and the group of passionate players. But he later changed his words, and gradually revealed the idea that the country has talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years, and explained that although the players of the 96 golden generation are gradually becoming weaker, the league will never die, as long as commercial activities are still going on normally, the NBA will not die, this entertainment company will not die, everything is based on interests.
At the end of the writing, Zhang Chen used a kind of exclamation, anyway, he was piling up some words that looked gorgeous. After roughly counting it, there should be more than 2,000 words.
"Oh, it's written!" Zhang Chen handed the words in his hand to Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan took a look at the draft, and the more he looked at the moon, he felt exquisite, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, Zhang Chen, I just said that your writing is more level...... Wait, how do you use Chinese? ”
"Of course it's Chinese, I'm more suitable for using Chinese, and I'm not very good at writing English."
"You guy...... I knew you weren't going to make me comfortable, were you going to let me translate? ”
"yes, you can translate......
Liu Xuan had no choice but to nod in frustration, translating Zhang Chen's article full of some Chinese allusions into English, which was even more difficult, making him work overtime for more than two hours at night, and finally got it done, and his resentment against Zhang Chen was getting stronger and stronger. Thinking that Zhang Chen opened a column and might have to translate once a month in the future, Liu Xuan immediately felt that the cup seemed to be coming.
However, this one is really well written.
When Zhang Chen explained that he was a part of the basketball magazine when his blog and "Basketball Time" officially opened, there was an uproar in the league, and many people relied on different ways to express their opinions on Zhang Chen's approach. And the NBA players also expressed their opinions on Zhang Chen's behavior, because most of the NBA players are basically not very literate, but no one has ever thought of entering the cultural industry.
So some people sneered, some people clapped their hands and cheered for Zhang Chen, and Wade said bitterly on his blog: "Yes, I heard a joke, I heard that Zhang Chen wants to start a magazine called "Basketball Time", which really makes people want to laugh, and an illiterate person wants to start a magazine, which makes us feel funny." ”
What made Zhang Chen a little painful was that the guy Bosh actually mocked Zhang Chen on his blog, where he said: "It's like a cleaner who wants to be the president of the United States...... It's a little ridiculous. ”
Zhang Chen has been working a little hard for "Avatar" these days, who knew that he suddenly saw Bosh's bombardment, and suddenly became a little angry - this guy who can directly play Avatar without makeup actually came to sarcastically mock himself? It's just funny, thinking that there will be a battle between the Knicks and the Raptors in a few days, Zhang Chen made up his mind in his heart that he must teach that guy a good lesson, and thinking of the way he and James were colluded in the All-Star Game, Zhang Chen also gritted his teeth a little.
Of course, Zhang Chen did not attack the surname Di and Bosh on his blog, he just said that please support me and believe me, I will start a column on the blog.
Seeing that Zhang Chen was about to open a column, Wade's bombardment became even more intense: "This illiterate person is simply whimsical!" Let's witness the birth of America's worst magazine! ”
Bosh followed Wade and said, "We had the privilege of witnessing the birth of one of the worst magazines in history!" ”
Zhang Chen was noncommittal, and still did not refute the two of them, what made him a little strange was that he did not receive the bombardment from James, which really surprised him a little, in his imagination, James should have jumped out of the fart and was the first to stop him. But think about James has been very low-key recently, he doesn't roar after hearing about dunks, the four-step basket has been completely improved, and his mid-to-long-range shooting ability is gradually increasing, and it looks like James is returning to basics. So he didn't jump out at this time.
The battle between Bosh and Wade did not make everyone pay less attention to Zhang Chen's magazine, and many people said that they wanted to see what the magazine founded by Zhang Chen would look like, so when the magazine appeared on the first day, many places for sale were crowded with people who came to buy the newspaper.
Of course, these people are here to read it for Zhang Chen, they are mainly curious about Zhang Chen's creation of the magazine, and they are also curious about Zhang Chen's column, so this "Basketball Time" has a deeper mass base than many other magazines, if they can retain people, this magazine will soon become famous, of course, if it is not done well, this kind of crazy buying situation may only be short-lived.
In short, everything depends on the technical content of this magazine.
Finally began to officially go on sale, many people bought this magazine with a reasonable price, the first issue can be seen to be beautifully arranged, and an additional Zhang Chen's No. 6 wrist guard, a small gift. The cover of the magazine is Zhang Chen's jumper, his face is calm, the trajectory of the basketball is bright, and he is unstoppable towards the basket. This kind of Zhang Chen makes everyone feel a kind of beauty from the depths of the body.
Open the magazine, a kind of careful layout, the feeling of typography has penetrated into everyone's heart, this kind of typography and layout has been scrutinized many times, so it can also stand up to everyone's inspection. Then, everyone saw the frontispiece, Liu Xuan also spent a lot of effort on the frontispiece, and wrote a lot of things directly in it, and also carried some NBA glory, gossip and the like, which made people's blood boil and at the same time they could feel the meaning of gossip, so everyone paid more attention to it.
When I turned a page, I saw Zhang Chen's column, which was introduced: Zhang Chen, a string of Zhang Chen's achievements was put behind the NBA players, and Zhang Chen's own words were also written on it: I have studied basketball for more than ten years, and I still find that the way of basketball is far-reaching and long, and the road is long.
When everyone saw these words, they aroused their interest, and when they saw the first column, they felt that Zhang Chen's words were fine, and Zhang Chen's first article after careful translation was quickly loved by everyone.
The name of this magazine is "Basketball Time" and it is also full of a kind of NBA development time, which makes people feel as if they have walked into a mottled time channel, full of a taste of old photos, making people remember those past times, and at the same time, they also feel the breath of that time.
Of course, the magazine also introduces some of the current state of the league, as well as comments on some characters, which gives people a pretty good feeling, and many people buy the magazine, and after browsing it, they all applaud.
A sports circle remembered to catch a passerby directly, and then asked, "Hello, have you finished reading your "Basketball Time" magazine?" ”
"Yes, from the first page to the last, sir."
"And how do you feel about it?"
"My feeling is that this is a very good magazine, I can see the painstaking efforts of Chen, I can find the taste of the NBA glory road in this magazine, our country has given birth to this culture, this book can make us feel the breath of this NBA culture! Anyway, I was a little skeptical before Tatsu said he was going to start a magazine, but now I don't have any doubts at all, and despite the weaknesses of this inaugural issue, I know that this will be a pretty good magazine, and I will subscribe to it in the future! And not just because of Tatsu! ”
"It can be seen that you have a high opinion of this magazine, so what do you think of Zhang Chen's choice? What do you think of his cultural foray? ”
"Of course it's good! It's a pretty good magazine, and I can see Tatsu's deep literary skills, and I think you can look at his columns, it's like a writer! ”
……………… There were a lot of interviews like this, but basically everyone was applauded.
"Yay!" Zhang Chen and Liu Xuan high-fived fiercely inside the magazine, they have received good news from all over the world, the first printing of the magazine has been sold out, and the most important thing is that everyone's response is quite good, they all expressed their expectations for this "Basketball Time", hoping to buy the following issue as soon as possible, and also hope to see Zhang Chen's column as soon as possible.
This kind of magazine has just opened, and a lot of information is only used in some online surveys, and in the next time, they may also have to raise a group of reporters to walk directly in the locker rooms of various teams in the NBA to obtain first-hand information, so that this magazine can become bigger and bigger.
"Zhang Chen, our cooperation should be a success, but there are more and more things in the future! Funds are already running low, and you may need more funding! ”
Zhang Chen nodded, these things have been discussed by the two of them before, and now it is a matter of course.
"However, you have to maintain the quality of the first issue, otherwise it may be just a bamboo basket in the end." Zhang Chen reminded Liu Xuan, after all, although the first issue of this magazine received an excellent response, everyone still doesn't know what happened next. So, at this time, the quality of the magazine is crucial.
"Let's go, let's have a celebration feast...... I'm in for a treat and eat hot pot! ”
"Okay, the hot pot is good, let's go!" Zhang Chen and Liu Xuan walked out, the celebration banquet inside the magazine Liu Xuan had already been held, this was a small celebration banquet for two people, and foreigners probably couldn't eat hot pot, and they were still a little repulsive to a large group of people using chopsticks to fish for vegetables in the pot.
―――――― Wade was originally going to watch Zhang Chen's jokes and then seize the opportunity to fall into the ground, he felt that Zhang Chen, a guy who wanted to enter the cultural circle, should be abused by everyone this time, and then he would be disgraced, at that time Wade could take the opportunity to take the position, and it was best to accuse Zhang Chen of being incompetent.
The results of the first day came quickly, seeing the hot sales scene of "Basketball Time" in various places, Wade originally thought that it was just Zhang Chen's own magazine, and he was writing a column himself, so it attracted some gimmicks as a comfort to himself, but unfortunately, he soon received more cruel news.
All readers are praising this magazine, and they are also praising Zhang Chen's good writing and articles, and many people have said that they want to buy the next issue of "Basketball Time", and they all think this magazine is very good.
"Damn......" Wade himself got a score of "Basketball Time", and when he saw the exquisite typography and the thick atmosphere of NBA history, he suddenly put the magazine on the table fiercely, and then sulked - Zhang Chen, how can this guy do everything smoothly?
Bosh was also hot-headed and blamed Zhang Chen - after all, he was also a little annoyed that Zhang Chen was able to think of things they didn't expect, and he was a little unbalanced when he received so much attention from so many people, so he said those words in a hot head, and his reaction on the first day also shocked him.
He vaguely felt that he was about to be attacked by Zhang Chen's retaliation.
