Chapter 396 Dayao, you are tall, so you should take the blame
The pay was good. Wu Jing played a key role in Indiana Jones 4 and also served as action director, with a total pay of $850 million.
Zhang Jin and Zhou Xun both have roles in the upcoming film "He Tian Wang", with pay of $250 million and $80 respectively.
Wang Baoqiang played a role in 007 Quantum of Solace and was paid $150 million.
Zhao Wenzhuo was lucky. His image as Monk Tang received a good response in the United States. The director of WeAllSurfer approached him and specially designed a Chinese role for him, with a salary of $100 million.
Only Huang Xiaoming doesn't have one. He has no fame here, but his domestic company has already made arrangements for him and he will have to return to China to film soon.
"Everyone should remember that our roots are still in China. We cannot lose the domestic market. Developing in Hollywood is equivalent to gilding, but we cannot ignore the domestic market," He Zhongqiu reminded.
Everyone nodded, and Wu Jing said, "Zhongqiu, I'm working on a script. I'll return to China to prepare after I finish filming Raiders of the Lost Ark."
He Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Brother Jing, you have a lot of ideas. It's time to set up your own company. This will be best for your development."
Wu Jing smiled and nodded, saying, "You've said it several times. I'll listen to you this time. But my agency contract still has to be with your company. My own company can only participate in project investment at most."
"It's up to you." He Zhongqiu nodded.
Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun were very envious of Wu Jing, especially Zhou Xun.
When she became a top star in China, Wu Jing was still a nobody. After only a few years with Wolverine, he even became a director.
He is now earning 6 to 7 million US dollars in Hollywood pay, which is 50 to 60 million RMB. Apart from Li Lianjie and Chenglong, he is the only one who can catch up with Li Lianjie in terms of pay in another two years.
Fortunately, she is not bad now. She is much better than Fan Bing and Li Bing, the two girls who competed with her for the position of Sister Huayi. Now Huayi is bankrupt. If they want to get back the contract with Huayi, they can either pay out of their own pockets to terminate the contract or let the next buyer pay.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Zhongqiu, Huayi heard that it is going to be auctioned. Doesn't the company plan to buy it?"
He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard Sister Xue say she wants to buy it. Huayi doesn't have any good assets. It doesn't have a cinema chain, and it doesn't have any fixed assets. It only has the copyrights of a few movies. What's the point of buying it?"
Huang Xiaoming, who is also from Huayi, said: “During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Huayi still has contracts with some artists, and they are now paying money to terminate the contracts.
Li Bing and Fan Bing both contacted me last time. They want to join our company. The company will pay for them to terminate their contracts. They don’t want any signing fee to join the company.”
Zhou Xun did not interrupt. Zhongqiu Film Company was so big that there were many female artists. Even if Li Bing and Fan Bing came in, the competition would not be as fierce as when they were in Huayi.
In the past, they were fighting to the death in Huayi because Huayi had limited resources. Now, Zhongqiu Pictures has so many resources that they can’t use them all. Why should they still fight?
He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "Sister Xue is in charge of the company. She will have an idea."
His words made Zhou Xun extremely envious of Yang Xue.
From a third-rate actor with a salary of a few thousand yuan, in just a few years, she has transformed into the queen of the domestic entertainment industry and controls the He Group with assets worth hundreds of billions of RMB.
As far as she knew, there was no female star in the domestic entertainment industry, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, who did not envy and hate Yang Xue.
After sleeping in the villa for a night, He Zhongqiu rushed to the hotel to meet up with the team at 8:30 the next morning.
In the hotel's basketball room, we conducted half an hour of mobility training, half an hour of ball control training, one hour of explosive power training, and finally one hour of reaction training.
My dribbling basics are now at level 91, and my explosiveness is about to reach level 121. My nerve reaction speed is the most difficult to upgrade, and is still at level 94.
This quality itself is close to the top level, which is very good in the basketball world. I have never trained it before, and I started training when I started practicing track and field. I have been training for more than half a year, but there is still no upgrade.
Upgrading quality is completely different from upgrading skills. Skills rely on proficiency, but quality does not have proficiency. You just have to practice and you will upgrade when you reach a certain level. You will not be able to upgrade unless you practice to death.
After 38 minutes of reaction training, a prompt suddenly appeared on the system panel:
"Congratulations to the host, your nerve reaction speed has been increased to level 95."
"Finally upgraded!"
He Zhongqiu was delighted.
There is still more than a year until the Yanjing Olympics. If he can upgrade two more levels, the 97-level divine counterattack should allow him to achieve better sprint results. An improvement of 0.02 to 0.05 seconds is very likely.
On the evening of the 4th, Staples Center.
Wu Jing and a group of people also came here and received the tickets prepared by He Zhongqiu for them.
At eight o'clock, both teams announced their starting lineups, and there were no changes.
The game started at 8:30, and after the jump ball, the Knicks attacked.
Phil Jackson knew that the chances of winning were slim, so he formulated a desperate tactic for this game, which was to strengthen the defense against Nash, use the advantage of home court whistle, and strangle the Knicks' offensive engine.
At the beginning of the game, Fisher was the main defender of Nash, and Kobe was assisting in defense, which caused Nash to make a pass error. The ball passed to Josh Howard was intercepted by Odom, and the offense and defense switched.
The Lakers tried to make a fast break, but it didn't work because by the time Kobe Bryant reached the left midfield position with the ball, He Zhongqiu had already returned to the basket.
Barkley laughed and said, "Kobe was running down the 20-point line, and Wolverine was coming back from under the basket, chasing Kobe for at least six meters over a distance of more than meters."
"That's what's so frustrating about him," Kenny Smith said.
“He’s a center.”
Tonight's guest commentator is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who said this helplessly.
"Bang!"
At this time, Kobe missed the mid-range shot, He Zhongqiu grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Knicks attacked.
Barkley suddenly asked, "Kareem, you are Bruce Lee's disciple. Can you tell me who is more powerful between Bruce Lee and Wolverine?"
Jabbar blinked his eyes. He had studied Jeet Kune Do with Bruce Lee for four years and was very familiar with him. In his heart, he had actually compared the two of them countless times.
"Kareem?" Barkley urged when he saw that Jabbar didn't speak.
"Well, they're both very good guys, I can't even compare them," Jabbar said with a shrug.
Nash pushed the ball across the frontcourt. This time he was more careful. When he saw Kobe coming to help defend, he immediately ran to the top of the arc with the ball.
At the same time, He Zhongqiu squeezed Kwame Brown aside and raised his right hand when he entered the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Before Nash reached the top of the arc, the ball flew towards the basket.
He Zhongqiu jumped high from the left side of the basket and grabbed the basketball with both hands.
Yao Ming on the right side of the basket didn't dare to make any move and couldn't block the shot at all because there was a basket between them, and He Zhongqiu was too tall for him to reach.
"boom!"
With a double-handed dunk, He Zhongqiu smashed the Lakers' basket.
"What a beautiful slam dunk after an alley-oop! It even leveled the rim!" Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly in CCTV's NBA live studio in Yanjing.
Rick Carlisle took a step forward and shouted to He Zhongqiu who was running over: "Wolverine, pay attention to pick up Steve."
He Zhongqiu nodded after hearing this. He also realized that the Lakers had strengthened their defense against Nash today.
2:0, Lakers attack.
Yao Ming first went to the low position, and when He Zhongqiu blocked him, he suddenly ran to the high position.
He Zhongqiu did not follow to the high position, because the Knicks played in the league, and the high position belonged to Battier's defensive area.
But he still followed to the next step of the free throw line, near the high post.
Yao Ming ran straight to the top of the arc. Kobe dribbled the ball and used the wall to break down. He encountered He Zhongqiu's backup defense. While blocking He Zhongqiu, he passed the ball back to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming received the ball at the top of the arc and made a fadeaway three-point jump shot over Battier's head.
"brush!"
A splash appeared and a three-pointer was made.
After Yao Ming made the shot, he did not celebrate at all. He immediately turned around and strode back to the backcourt.
Zhang Heli then said to the CCTV camera: "In the first two finals, Yao Ming's shooting touch was good in the first three quarters, and his shooting touch only declined after he consumed a lot of physical energy.
His energy is mainly consumed on the defensive end. Zhongqiu attacks the basket with all his strength, with the purpose of consuming Yao Ming's energy.
In the last G2 game, his touch declined, so he could only strengthen his low-post offense, which caused his physical strength to decline even faster. "
2:3, Knicks attack.
The Lakers played mixed defense today, with Fisher defending Nash, Kobe guarding the right side, and Odom defending the left side.
In order to support Nash, He Zhongqiu first took a high position.
"Hey, is Wolverine going to strengthen his mid-range shooting attack?" Barkley said in surprise.
"Since entering the playoffs, especially the finals, he hasn't taken many mid-range shots," Kenny Smith said.
Nash entered the frontcourt from the middle and saw Kobe on the right wing moving towards the middle. He was not in a hurry to get close to the three-point line to avoid being double-teamed.
However, when he saw Wolverine in the high post, he immediately increased his speed, passed the ball to him as he rushed to the top of the arc, and then cut down from his side.
Kobe and Fisher chose to double-team He Zhongqiu immediately. He Zhongqiu swung the ball with one hand and it flew to Battier outside the three-point line on the right wing.
"brush!"
Battier received the ball, was in wide open space, and shot a three-pointer calmly and made it.
"Kobe shouldn't double-team Wolverine. When Nash passes the ball, he should go back to defend Battier," Barkley said immediately.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "Yes, especially when Wolverine was above the free throw line, he couldn't use his hands to pull Wolverine there, and double-teaming didn't make much sense at all, but instead gave Battier a big open space."
Kenny Smith said: "The Lakers can't defend Wolverine, so the defensive strategy is a bit confused. This is just like the peak period of the Big Shaq. Other teams are helpless against him."
5:3, Lakers attack.
"brush!"
On the right wing, Kobe pushed Nash away and made a quick stop jump shot one step inside the three-point line. He missed the shot just now, but this time he made a long two-point shot.
Tied at 5, Knicks attack.
"Are you targeting me? Let me see how you can attack me from both sides."
Nash entered the frontcourt from the middle and saw Kobe on the right wing moving towards the top of the arc, so he simply didn't go to the top of the arc and moved to the left wing.
After seeing this, Kobe had no choice but to return to Battier.
On the left wing, Nash used Josh Howard's pick-and-roll to get rid of Fisher's defense, and then used his small size to defeat a bigger opponent, easily bypassing Odom and heading into the penalty area.
At this time, He Zhongqiu, who was in a high position, immediately cut down quickly, using his cut to pressure the Lakers' inside defense, forming a synergistic effect with Nash's wing ball holding.
Forced by He Zhongqiu's timely cut, Yao Ming and Kwame Brown did not dare to go out to defend Nash. Nash rushed to the left waist position and made a jump shot, hitting an open space for nearly two points.
7:5, Lakers attack.
"Bang!"
Yao Ming took another three-pointer from the top of the arc, singled out Battier, but missed this time.
He Zhongqiu blocked Kwame Brown, Mourning grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Knicks attacked.
“Oh, the Wolverines are coming down fast, and Kwame Brown is lagging behind,” Barkley exclaimed.
He Zhongqiu ran as fast as he could and when he reached the front court basket, Dayao was waiting for him.
He turned around and trapped Yao Ming behind him, and at this time, Nash had already passed the ball to him.
"It's over!"
Zhang Heli couldn't help but say when he saw this.
"boom!"
"Di!"
He Zhongqiu received the ball, turned around and dunked it, and at the same time caused Yao Ming to commit a foul.
"What the hell!"
Yao Ming regretted it so much that he hit his own hand. He shouldn't have stretched out his hand and got a foul in vain.
He Zhongqiu joked: “Dayao, I told you, don’t stretch your hands randomly, don’t stretch your hands randomly, you just can’t control yourself.
If you are sent off at the Olympics next year and we fail to defend our title, the responsibility will be yours, not mine."
"You are big, you carry it on your back." Dayao said unhappily.
"I'm not as tall as you, so of course you have to carry me on your back." He Zhongqiu laughed.
