Chapter 211 MVP
On the 19th, the Knicks won the G2 game against the Celtics without any suspense.

According to Ewing's suggestion, He Zhongqiu stopped exerting his strength. The Green Team was not strong enough and the inside line was too weak. His condition had to be suppressed and he could not come out too early.

On the 20th, the Lakers played Game 2 against the Mavericks.

Yao Ming, who was hoping to win another game, was disappointed. Kobe woke up in this game, made 20 of 9 shots, 17 of 16 free throws, scored 36 points, and led the team to victory.

不过这场奥尼尔打了33分钟，只有9投3中，3罚1中，只得7分7篮板。

Yao Ming scored 21 points but only grabbed 4 rebounds.

Next, the first round continues.

On the evening of the 23rd, the Knicks completed a sweep of the Green Team and became the first team in the league to advance to the second round.

Next, start watching the fight between tigers from the sidelines.

The next day, the Spurs also swept the Grizzlies, becoming the second team to advance to the second round.

Duncan scored 24.3 points and 10 rebounds in the first round, and it was obvious that he had retained his strength.

Next, the Kings and Timberwolves both eliminated their opponents with a score of 4 to 1 and advanced to the second round.

However, the Mosaic black seven that He Zhongqiu expected did not appear. The Lakers made a strong effort and eliminated Mosaic 4-2. Yao Ming also ended his first playoff journey.

In the East, the Nets eliminated the Heat 4-2, the Pistons eliminated the Bucks 4-1, and the Pacers eliminated the Hornets 4-2.

On the 25th, Blade 3's North American box office reached 8300 million US dollars, the highest of the three Blade series films.

Now there are only about a hundred screens left in North America, and the movie is not far from being taken off the screen.

Also on this day, the global box office finally reached $3 million.

This is a huge success for both Marvel Movies and New Line Cinema, and it is of great significance.

And after that, there is also generous income from DVDs and other sources.

For He Zhongqiu, although he is only a supporting role, the box office of this movie depends on his role, so it is also of great significance. He has achieved very dazzling box office results in Hollywood and has huge box office appeal.

It was also on this day that Adam Silver arrived in Yanjing.

"Hello, President Xiao Hua."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Dalin, vice president of NBA China Branch, came to pick him up at the airport, and the two got in the car after exchanging greetings.

In the back row, Zhou Dalin looked at Xiao Hua from time to time, opened his mouth several times, and then closed his mouth again.

Although Xiao Hua didn't like China and hated Chinese people, for the sake of his work and his future, he endured the unhappiness in his heart and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to ask?"

Zhou Dalin asked in a heavy voice, "President Xiao Hua, I want to know why the headquarters sent you to be the president of the Huaxia region?"

"Can't I?" Xiao Hua asked angrily.

Zhou Dalin shook his head and said, "In recent days, there have been a lot of news about you in China, President Xiao Hua, all of which are negative news. Affected by this, our business has declined sharply in recent days, and many peripheral businesses have come to a standstill."

"what?"

Xiao Hua was stunned.

"Is this a mistake? This is my first time in China, how could there be negative news about me?" he asked hurriedly.

"President Xiao Hua, the news said that you are racist." Zhou Dalin said in a heavy tone.

"what?"

Xiao Hua was shocked and very confused. He had always hidden it very well and never showed any racist tendencies in public. How did the Chinese media know about it?
"The news said you discriminated against Wolverine," Zhou Dalin continued.

"..."

Adam Silver understood that it was all because of Wolverine. This was his territory, and Wolverine must have bribed the media to deal with him.

"Damn it, what other news?" he asked angrily.

Zhou Dalin said: "He also said that you are gay."

"This is really not true."

Adam Silver said angrily.

"The media also said that you were suppressing Wolverine in the NBA." Zhou Dalin said again.

Xiao Hua was silent. This was indeed true, but he could not admit it and wanted to make an excuse.

Zhou Dalin advised: "President Xiao Hua, I suggest you clarify it. In addition, if you really have a conflict with Wolverine, it is best to reconcile with him.

Otherwise, our work will not be able to be carried out at all. Wolverine has a huge influence in China.

You should know that in the United States, there are many Chinese media reporters following him, and those are the media he can influence.”

"I?"

Xiao Hua was so depressed that he wanted to die.

It's all the old man's fault. Why did he throw him to Huaxia? If he didn't have millions of loans, he would really want to walk away.

If he were asked to beg Wolverine for help, he would rather go bankrupt and sleep on the street.

On April 4, with the end of the first round, the second round match schedule was released.

The second round starts on May 5nd, with the Knicks vs. Nets, the Timberwolves vs. Kings, and on the 2rd, the Pistons vs. Pacers, and the Spurs vs. Lakers.

After Mosaic was eliminated, He Zhongqiu called to comfort Yao Ming and said:

"Dayao, don't worry, if the Lakers make it to the finals, I will avenge you."

"Alas, I still can't control my fouls well. Too many fouls will affect our defense. You should be more careful when you play against O'Neal." Yao Ming said frustratedly.

He said proudly: "Do you think I am you? When I play against O'Neal, he should be the one who should pay attention to the foul, not me, hehe!"

Yao Ming was angry and said, "You kid, we haven't even started the finals yet, and you're already showing off?"

He said proudly: "Dayao, if you are jealous, just say it. I played in the Eastern Conference Finals in my rookie season, and I will definitely make it to the Finals this time. If I can beat the OK combination, haha, you will look up to me for the rest of your life."

"Humph!"

Yao Ming was so angry that he kept humming, but there was nothing he could do as his performance was not as good as others.

"By the way, Yao Ming, this MVP award will most likely be mine too, haha!" He Zhongqiu's irritating voice rang out again.

"You kid, be careful that happiness can turn into sorrow." Dayao was so angry that he just said this and hung up the phone.

The Knicks had holidays on the 24th, 25th and 26th, and resumed training on the 27th, entering the rhythm of the second round series.

The Knicks were eliminated by the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals last year. This time, from management to players, from the media to fans, everyone hopes to defeat the Nets to avenge last year's defeat.

The Knicks are full of confidence for this series because this Nets team is no longer the same as last year.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 27th, the NBA officially announces the MVP.

There were many people in the villa to celebrate Zhongqiu, including Philip, Felton, Xia Song, Frank Zhang, Mike Johnson, Mary, Zhang Heli, Xu Jicheng, Yang Jian and so on.

The celebratory champagne is ready and the glasses are on the table, just waiting for the results to come out.

None of them thought that the MVP would fall on someone else, everyone thought it must be He Zhongqiu's.

He looked at the TV. Although the scoring champion was good, the MVP was the real heavyweight and hard honor. He felt a little nervous and suddenly said, "Will there be a reversal?"

"How is that possible?"

Mike Johnson was startled and said quickly.

"Zhongqiu, it would be unfair if I don't give it to you this time." Zhang Heli said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes." Xu Jicheng quickly agreed.

"Oh oh..."

A few minutes later, cheers rang out in the villa.

"Shet!"

Far away in Minnesota, Garnett cursed angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

He Zhongqiu received a lot of congratulatory calls and text messages, and he even replaced his cell phone batteries twice.

"Dayao, I'll be waiting for your call."

"Congratulations, you are so lucky."

"What are you talking about? You sound so sour. Are you jealous? Haha!"

"You're so beautiful." "How about coming to watch my game?"

"No, my parents and I are going back home."

"Oh, that's okay."

Wu Jing and Zhang Jin are currently in Los Angeles, working on the action design of Iron Eagle King with Yuan Baye and Lin Dian.

But we are going to New York soon, because the story of Iron Eagle King takes place in New York, and the opening ceremony will also be held in New York.

He tried to call for a long time but couldn't get through, so he had to send a short message to He Zhongqiu, asking him to see it and call back.

This time, an agent from Hong Kong contacted him through Yuan Baye and wanted to sign him.

But this agent is mainly involved in music, his name is Huang Bogao, and he has a group of first-line singers under him, including Xu Zhian, Chen Huilin, Yang Qianhua, etc. He couldn't make a decision for a while and wanted to ask He Zhongqiu's opinion.

His overseas film and television contracts were signed with He Zhongqiu's company, but he does not have any domestic film and television contracts, and he does not have an agent in China.

But after the All-Star Martial Arts Show, several domestic dramas contacted him, and now he really needs a domestic agent to help him handle these things.

In his case, Zhang Jin and Wang Baoqiang were in the same situation and all of them received many acting offers.

More than an hour later, He Zhongqiu called.

"Hey, Zhongqiu, congratulations, MVP."

"Haha, Brother Jing, I'll treat you when we meet."

After chatting for a while, Wu Jing said, "Zhongqiu, I have something to tell you."

"Say it."

"This is what happened. A Hong Kong agent wants to sign me..."

"How is the strength?"

Wu Jing talked about Huang Bogao's qualifications and said: "He asked Mr. Yuan Ba ​​to contact me and said he had a gift for me.

Director Ye Weixin from Hong Kong is planning a new movie called "SPL", starring Makoto Dan. If I sign with his company, he will invest in the movie and give me a role.

Actually, I have quite a few domestic dramas on hand now. Thanks to you, they contacted me after the All-Stars Film Festival, and so did Zhang Jin and Baoqiang.

The movie "SPL" that Huang Bosheng mentioned is not important, but I want to sign an agent in China. Without an agent, it would be very difficult to handle these things. "

He Zhongqiu said: "Brother Jing, I have no objection to this matter. You haven't signed your domestic contract yet, so it's not bad to find an agent.

But people from Hong Kong are very troublesome. You have to ask clearly about what role they will play and their schedule. Don't just wait for a long time before getting a small role.

You are now a man earning a million dollars in Hollywood, don't let anyone trick you into taking a small role."

"Yes, that's my concern. Huang Bogao is a musician, and I don't know if he can do it. Shouldn't I ask for your opinion?" Wu Jing said hurriedly.

"Okay, once you figure it out, if the role is good, it's okay to sign with that agent," said He Zhongqiu.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after two hours of joint training, a tactical meeting was held to discuss how to play against the Nets.

"Steve, prepare to be beaten by Kidd. I won't arrange any help defense for you."

But when arranging the defensive tactics, Rick Carlisle's arrangement scared Nash and surprised everyone.

"what?"

Nash was stunned.

Coach, it doesn’t matter if I get beaten. If you really make arrangements like this, which results in a loss to the Nets, be careful that you get beaten by the Wolverines.

He Zhongqiu's offensive and defensive tactics had reached level 90. Carlisle's words stunned him, but after thinking about it carefully, he had some ideas.

Next, Rick Carlisle began to explain his playbook.

In Hong Kong, at 28 a.m. on the 10th, Huang Bogao found Ye Weixin's home and specifically asked about the details of the role.

"Mr. Huang, this character's name is Ajie, and he doesn't have many lines..." Ye Weixin introduced.

"how many?"

Huang Bogao's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly.

"Well, one sentence." Ye Weixin said.

"what?"

Huang Bogao was shocked. He invested millions just for a role with one line?

"Where's the pay?" he asked again, feeling a little disappointed.

Ye Weixin explained: "Mr. Huang, originally he only had one line, but Wu Jing is now somewhat famous, so I can change the script and give him a few more lines.

As for the pay, he has never filmed a movie in Hong Kong, so he is a newcomer and his role is not big. It is mainly a fight scene with Mako Dan that is worth some money, so give him 30 Hong Kong dollars."

At this point, he also explained: "This is very high. The mainlanders who come to Hong Kong to film have never received such high pay."

Huang Bogao was so angry that he laughed. He said, "People in Hollywood have received 100 million US dollars, and you give them 30 Hong Kong dollars?"
He asked curiously, "Director Ye, you don't know Wolverine, do you? His movie grossed $300 million worldwide, and his new movie gave Wu Jing a role worth $1 million."

Ye Weixin said unhappily, “Mr. Huang, Blade 3 is not a Wolverine movie, he is just a supporting role.

Moreover, Wolverine is Wolverine, and Wu Jing is Wu Jing. The pay in Hollywood and Hong Kong is also different, and they cannot be confused.

Even if it's Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, they can't get the same pay as in Hollywood when they return to Hong Kong to make Chinese films. Our Hong Kong films don't have such a big investment.

And as I said just now, it was because Wu Jing gained some fame with Wolverine that I was willing to give him more lines."

At this point, he thought about it for a moment, and then said, "How about this, I'll raise it to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. The role is so big, and the production cost is so big, I can't increase it any more."

Huang Bogao knew that Ye Weixin was a capable director, but he did not expect that Ye Weixin also had the problems of the Hong Kong film industry and looked down on mainland actors.

He shook his head and said, "Director Ye, you are concentrating on your movie. I'm afraid you don't know that Wu Jing told me that he has a lot of movies on hand now, and he doesn't lack this small role."

Ye Weixin sighed, "Mr. Huang, I really tried my best. If Wu Jing hadn't become famous by following Wolverine, his role would only be worth 200,000 Hong Kong dollars at most. I offered 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is already very good. Increasing it to 500,000 shows my sincerity.

This role is only worth this much money. You can't ask me to pay a small role a few million, right? Then can you get back the money you invested?

As for whether he has any acting offers, that is his business. His current market value is like this.”

Huang Bosheng had some doubts. He had just started to enter the film industry and had never worked in a film industry before. He was not familiar with action films and did not know how much of what Ye Weixin said was true.

"How about this, Director Ye, I'll think about it again and ask Wu Jing for his opinion," he said.

Ye Weixin sent Huang Bosheng away, and he knew that he would not be able to get the investment.

He didn't lie. The role of Ajie was only worth 500,000 Hong Kong dollars at most. Of course, if a Hong Kong action star was to play the role, it would still be worth one million Hong Kong dollars.

Wu Jing is not Wolverine. If he were Wolverine, Sha Po Lang would not be able to afford him, but Wu Jing is only worth this much money.

Wu Jing received the message from Huang Bosheng and agreed to think about it.

Huang Bosheng was a little surprised. He thought Wu Jing would directly refuse. After all, he had already received a million US dollars in salary in Hollywood.

But he didn't understand Wu Jing's thoughts. What did Wu Jing think?

If it was before, he would have accepted the role without even considering it. He would have been paid 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to play a minor supporting role. How could he have been paid that much before? He would have definitely accepted the role if he was paid 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. A minor supporting role worth 500,000 yuan is a sky-high salary, okay?
Even now, he thinks that it is no problem to play this role for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. He can't become too ambitious just because he played two small supporting roles in Hollywood with Wolverine.

Moreover, the few film contracts he currently has are all from the mainland, not Hong Kong. The mainland's martial arts action films do not pay any attention to quality. He hopes to go to Hong Kong to shoot action and martial arts films.

His main consideration now is the agent Huang Bosheng. Is it reliable to sign under him?
"Hello, Mid-Autumn?"

After thinking about it, he called He Zhongqiu.

"Brother Jing, what's the matter?"

"That Hong Kong movie role, with a salary of 50 Hong Kong dollars and a few lines, do you think I want to sign with Huang Bosheng's company?"

"You want to ask for my opinion? Brother Jing, those Hong Kong people have always looked down on us mainlanders. My opinion is that we should do it ourselves in China in the future. I plan to set up a film and television company in China."

"Well, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"It's no use saying it earlier. I don't have any resources in China. This matter can't be rushed. It has to be done slowly. Don't miss the opportunity you have in China."

"No, what do you mean?"

"It's up to you to decide. My film and television company hasn't even started yet. It might not work out. Just sign it if you want to. Don't ask for my opinion."

"You guy, then I signed it?"

"If you think he's capable, just sign it. Just don't sign a contract to sell himself."

"Well, I'll think about it."
