"What do you mean, the movie is going to start filming this summer?" Zhuang Fei looked at Elf, the commercial representative of Coca-Cola, in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

"Didn't you say the movie wasn't released until 2001? Now there is still a year and a half, is it necessary to be in such a hurry? Zhuang Fei asked a little puzzled.

"Zhuang, it's not too urgent, but you have to start filming now, Zhuang, you are a non-professional actor, how much time can you spend filming in a year? Our plan is for you to take out this summer and next summer, so it's almost just right, so don't look at the year and a half before January 2001, in fact, the time is already very short. Elf said helplessly, Zhuang Fei's special situation must be considered.

"Have you found your actors?" Zhuang Fei asked, there are only six main actors in this movie, one man and five women, Zhuang Fei is the male lead, and the female protagonist is five international girls from Asia and Europe, and there must be a certain basketball foundation, such an actor is not easy to find.

"Almost, don't worry, we will be ready" Elf smiled at Zhuang Fei, and then took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Zhuang Fei: "Zhuang, take a look at this, this is your actor contract, and the application form for the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild." ”

"The Hollywood Screen Actors Guild? I don't plan to change jobs," Zhuang Fei picked up the membership application form and looked at it, there was nothing else in it.

"I know this, but according to the regulations, the director, actors, drama and other main creative personnel of the film with a cost of more than 3 million US dollars must be members of the major Hollywood guilds, and the minimum investment budget for our film has reached 50 million US dollars, so you must also join the Hollywood Actors Guild, this is just a formality, you don't need to care, except for the annual membership fee, you don't have to bear any responsibility" Elf patiently explained.

Despite this, Zhuang Fei felt in his heart that the regulations of the United States were too troublesome, China does not have such a complicated thing, and what union must be joined to make a movie, as if there are still many guilds in the United States, such as this NBA and the players' union or something. However, since it is necessary to join, Zhuang Fei has no opinion. Then I began to fill out the application form carefully, and the application form had no content, it was very simple, and Zhuang Fei completed it quickly.

Elf took Zhuang Fei's application form, looked at it, nodded as if there was no problem, and then put the form back in the briefcase. Then he handed another document to Zhuang Fei: "This is an actor contract, the actor contract and salary of the Hollywood Actors Guild are all standardized, and there are clear regulations, so you don't have to worry about the contract problems, you are a new actor, so the salary will not be too high, just like your NBA rookie players, but because of your influence, we will definitely not treat you like an ordinary rookie, and your current actor status should be equivalent to the top show among your NBA rookie players." After speaking, Elf didn't forget to make fun of Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei smiled indifferently, he had no opinion, he never thought that he could enter the 20 million club like Hollywood's top superstars as soon as he acted, this is impossible, and the NBA rookie did not take 20 million as soon as he entered the league, these Zhuang Fei understood, as for what Elf said about giving Zhuang Fei a "champion" treatment among new actors, it made Zhuang Fei a little curious. I also want to see what kind of treatment this is.

"Mr. Elf, the champion in Hollywood is much richer than the champion in our NBA," Zhuang Fei said with a wry smile as he looked at the number on the first page of the contract.

8 million US dollars, the salary of a movie has reached 8 million, which is twice the annual salary of the NBA champion show, which is higher than Zhuang Fei's advertising contract.

"Yes, I always thought that your NBA salary should be higher than Hollywood" Elf said with a smile: "We are afraid that you will not be satisfied with this number, we have investigated, the young player of your team, Garnett, can get 20 million, so in order to supplement you, we also let you participate in the movie's dividends, although it is not a lot, but it should also make up for some"

Zhuang Fei smiled and shook his head, he was very curious, Coca-Cola's conditions were very good, which made him very questionable: "Mr. Elf, didn't you make this movie to make money, I feel that the contract you gave me is too generous." ”

Hearing Zhuang Fei's question, Elf was stunned, and then laughed: "Zhuang, you are so interesting, we are not a film company, we buy drinks, as long as the movie works well, do you say that we will care about 120 million, besides, you are our main spokesperson, that is, it is equivalent to our own people, do we want to help the film company to detain our own people?" So of course we will give you the best contract, to tell you the truth, Warner Pictures saw our contract when it was strongly opposed, but the opposition was invalid, we are investors, they are just producers, we are good to our employees, they have no right to interfere, as long as you can improve our performance, we will also provide you with better treatment, you don't have to worry about this, we Coca-Cola still have this kind of bearing. ”

Elf's self-confidence and frankness surprised Zhuang Fei a little, it seems that the magnanimity of these international big companies is not comparable to those film companies, and they will not care about Zhuang Fei's hundreds of dollars, if Zhuang Fei can really increase their sales by a few percent, these will not be a problem, these companies in the United States are very similar to NBA teams to some extent. The team gives you a salary, you will accept it, as long as you meet the team's expectations, if it exceeds the team's expectations, the salary will naturally rise, there are favors, but favors are to give concessions to business, and the human factor can only be considered when the interests are not damaged.

From today's incident, Zhuang Fei also understood something, in the future, when managing the team, he must not adopt the set of values of Chinese society, which will definitely not work here.

"That's right, Zhuang, we want to use your influence in the American basketball community to invite a few famous high school friendships to help us, you know, this is a sports movie, basketball stadiums, other teams, players, coaches all need other teams to make cameos, so we have begun to send invitations to major high school basketball schools in the United States in your name" Elf looked at Zhuang Fei worriedly, in the United States, these "infringement" things are very important, because Zhuang Fei has no time, so they will cut it first, However, he was also a little afraid that Zhuang Fei would be estranged.

"There is no problem with these, you can just take the idea" Zhuang Fei smiled indifferently, his impression of Coca-Cola is much better now.

Hearing Zhuang Fei say this, Elf was relieved, and then joked to Zhuang Fei: "If this movie works well, we are still going to launch a sequel, and when high school is over, there will be college, and at that time, we will still need your influence." ”

Sequel? Zhuang Fei was stunned for a moment, forget it, Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it

On May 13, the NBA's playoffs played the last four games of the third game of the first round, and the NBA's playoffs have produced the first qualifier in advance, that is, the Timberwolves, who defeated the Kings on the road yesterday, and the Timberwolves also became the first team to enter the second round.

In the four games played today, the Trail Blazers, who are fourth in the West, have a 2-0 lead over the Rockets, and the Indiana Pacers are also 2-0 ahead of the Bucks, so it is very likely that the two games will produce another promotion team.

The first of today's four games is the Trail Blazers away from the Rockets, in this battle of life and death, Olajuwon is still sluggish, Scott Pippen has a slight sè, and Charles Barkley is still in hot form, it is obvious that he doesn't want his career to really end like this, if he can't win the championship this year, then there is really no hope in this life, but even if Charles Barkley is in a hot state, he alone can't beat the Trail Blazers' wolves 102-94, this is the final score, Charles Barkley scored 28 points and 18 rebounds, but seven players scored in double figures, and the Houston Rockets became the second team to be swept out of the playoffs this season, which also meant the complete end of Jordan and Olajuwon's reign.

"The rocket can really start to rebuild," Zhuang Fei said in a complicated manner in front of the TV, since this year, the rocket will enter a trough period that lasts for more than ten years, and even if the MM group is finally formed, there is still no way to bring them to the top.

Coincidentally, in the second game held today, the Pacers also eliminated the Bucks with a score of 3-0, and the final score was 99-91, Miller also taught the young Ray Allen and the immature three-shot gun again, this game Miller scored a game-high 33 points on 5-of-12 three-point shooting, from now on, Ray Allen still has a big deficiency compared to Miller, whether it is key ball ability or leadership ability, there are still great deficiencies, but Ray Allen is really not exactly similar to Miller now, Ray Allen is a bit more comprehensive.

The third game, and the most concerned game in the United States, the Grizzlies hosted the Spurs, this game still continued the crazy rhythm of the previous game, the two teams played very hard, ** Vicky since he tasted the sweetness of Jordan's rule, this game continued to use Jordan's rule to limit the Grizzlies, the effect is still very good, but in the end this game the Spurs lost 85-81, this game is not that they are not good at limiting Carter and the Grizzlies, but their own offense has problems, in order to be able to limit Carter,** Vicky almost took all the outside players that could be used to defend Carter, which also led to the Spurs' outside line involving a lot of jīng force on the defensive end, and almost all of them were paralyzed when attacking, Carter and Duncan played the whole game in this game, Carter was 10 of 22 shots, 25 of 28 free throws, and scored 48 points again, scoring 40+ points in 3 consecutive playoff games, in addition to him, the highest score of the Grizzlies team was Raheem's 8 points, which can also be seen the overall strength of the Grizzlies, facing the Spurs' iron-blooded defense, Others barely scored, which also forced Carter to go it alone, fortunately, Carter's shooting percentage in this game was okay, and the Spurs were not much better, Duncan alone took 36 points and 22 rebounds, but the rest of the Spurs only David Robinson scored double-doubles, and only 3 players from both teams scored double-doubles in this game.

"** Vicky broke the whole game to pieces, there is no rhythm at all, this is a pure-blooded game" Zhuang Fei sighed again, ** Vicky is a rhythm breaker, and he also began to worry about whether the Timberwolves would be able to play their rhythm when they met the Spurs.

As if deliberately trying to gamble with Carter, Iverson, the last star of the 76ers to play today, also played a shocking game, 97-85, which is the final score of the 76ers and the Magic, Iverson alone made 44 shots in this game, and the 76ers only made a total of 80 shots, he is interpreting a completely different basketball style from Carter, his "way" is completely different from Carter's "way", but there is no doubt that this little man found his own in this game"Dao", otherwise he would not have shot 44 times like crazy, and in the last 44 shots of 20, 10 of 14 free throws, he scored 53 points alone, and became the seventeenth player in NBA history to score 50+ in the playoffs, and he was also like Carter, 40+ in 3 consecutive games.

"That's really the case" Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile, after watching the game, Zhuang Fei immediately spent 10 Dynasty Points to search for Iverson's information.

Allen Iverson: Potential Level: A+, Ability Rating: 95, Status: Enchanted.

If the ability value does not exceed 95, Zhuang Fei really doesn't think Iverson can score 50+ in the playoffs, obviously, Iverson broke through in this game, and now he is standing at the same height as Carter, Duncan, O'Neal, and similarly, the magic is dangerous.
