Chapter 710 [There is no big deal, after Paris meets the shadow]
The SuperSonics' 15-man lineup for next season is a bit shabby. It seems that two big-name former All-Stars have joined, but everyone knows that they are useless and can hardly keep up with the rhythm of the game.
The major media did not say that the SuperSonics management did not do anything, only that Yang Jian was very confident. For another star, if the management simply tinkered with the lineup every year, without big deals and not signing capable players, it would definitely
There will be opinions.
According to basketball experts, some free agents in their prime are stronger and can be signed by the Sonics as long as they actively invite them. For example, Jim Jackson, Ricky Davis, Horace Grant, etc.
They would never have guessed that Wally Walker had even asked Yang Jian, and Yang Jian said that it was not necessary and only signed players with a minimum salary. For a veteran like Grant who already had a ring, his annual salary of more than two million yuan was considered high by Yang Jian.
Already.
When Grant joined the SuperSonics, he could only play as a substitute and didn't have much playing time. His size and pick-and-roll effect were average. His only advantage was his good mid-range shooting ability. Now he has joined the Magic.
The SuperSonics lineup is confirmed.
Center: Patrick Ewing, Brad Miller, Samuel Dalembert, Kevin Willis.
Power forward: Rashard Lewis, Danny Ferry.
Small forward: Bruce Bowen, Stephen Jackson, Mitch Richmond.
Shooting guards: Yang Jian, Dell Curry, Cuttino Mobley.
Point guard: Gary Payton, Anthony Carter, Tyronn Lue.
The team's All-Star players still only have Yang Jian and Payton, and it is generally believed that Payton has entered a period of decline.
Payton's statistics have declined and he is not playing as hard as he used to. Therefore, some fans suggested trading Payton and replacing him with someone stronger to assist Yang Jian. His contract was too big. In 2003, his contract with Yang Jian expired.
How to renew the contract is a big problem.
President David Stern was very happy after seeing the signing result. He felt that the SuperSonics would soon enter a rebuilding period.
Yang Jian did not accept any more interviews from sports media and flew to Paris, France with the crew to film the movie. Moreover, several of the main creators took Yang Jian's special plane to Paris, which also made entertainment news.
This time Yang Jian's whereabouts could not be kept secret. On the second day after arriving in Paris, many fans were waiting at the door of the hotel, eager to get his autograph and photos. Most of these fans were young girls, and a large part of them were fans and movie fans.
The French prefer football and tennis, with basketball ranking third at best.
The first day was to shoot a scene in which the two heroines were arrested in a hotel. Yang Jian didn't watch much of it. He interacted with fans at the hotel entrance. He was willing to sign autographs and take photos, promoting the movie in this way, which made the fans happy.
He believes that this movie can achieve good box office success in Europe, and the original script was written by French director Luc Besson.
This is not the first time that Yang Jian has plagiarized Luc Besson's work, and she does not feel guilty about it. In a parallel world, Lao Lu's reputation in the entertainment industry completely collapsed and he was accused of sexual harassment by nine women.
Luc Besson was born in Paris, France, and is regarded as a heavyweight in the French film industry. His status is similar to that of Harvey Weinstein in the American film industry. His ex-wife is Milla Jovovich, the star of "Resident Evil"
The heroine, the two got married because of "The Fifth Element", and their marriage ended after only two years.
Yang Jian's favorite thing to do in the past two years is to tease Lao Lu and Harvey. They are bad guys anyway.
Yang Jian asked four bodyguards to maintain order and signed autographs for many people without causing chaos. What surprised him was that there was a future big-name female star among his fans.
Yang Jian treated her differently and let her enter the hotel. After looking at her for a few times, she asked: "Are you Marion Cotillard?"
"Huh? You know me?" Marion, 26, was as excited as a little girl.
"I only know a few French celebrities, including you. I like "Taxi Express" very much. Like Suji, it is about drag racing." Yang Jian explained with a smile.
Many people know Marion Cotillard from the French box office hit "Taxi Express" directed by Luc Besson, which is known as the comedy version of "The Fast and the Furious".
Although Cotillard didn't play many roles in it, her charming appearance and sweet smile made the audience remember this girl deeply. She was also nominated for the 24th French Caesar Award for Best Newcomer for "Taxi Express"
Actress Award.
The "Taxi Express" series of movies made her successfully attract countless fans. She accumulated acting skills and popularity, which laid the foundation for her to knock on the door of Hollywood.
Marion took a few deep breaths in surprise before she could speak. "I'm so honored."
After Yang Jian and Marion signed autographs and took photos, they did not leave the hotel again. They ordered two cups of coffee and chatted with her in the lobby. "I think you have great potential and you speak English very well. Are you interested in pursuing a career in Hollywood in the future?"
?”
"Of course I'm willing to go to Hollywood, can I?" Marion looked at Yang Jian with burning eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Yang Jian smiled and said, "Of course you can. I was deeply impressed by you after watching the movie. Let's leave your contact information. If there is a suitable role, I will call you. You don't have to worry about going to the United States to audition in vain.
, as long as I look for you, the role will definitely be determined."
"Wow..." Marion covered her mouth with one hand, otherwise her back teeth would show out in laughter, and Talia Al Ghul would instantly transform into Harley Quinn.
Her family lives near the hotel, and she came here to try her luck to meet Yang Jian. She is thinking of breaking into Hollywood. Yang Jian and Huaer Pictures are very popular. It would be great to cooperate with Yang Jian.
Things went a hundred times smoother than she imagined. Yang Jian actually knew a little person like her. She had a hunch that she would soon have the opportunity to develop in Hollywood.
The only regret is that Yang Jian doesn't seem to want to "hidden rules" for her, but is just optimistic about her. Otherwise, she would be willing to stay in the hotel tonight and refuse to leave.
French actresses are very open-minded, which is related to the entertainment industry environment here. Many French directors are the kind who don't know how to film without nude scenes, all kinds of large-scale.
Yang Jian is planning to find a female partner for the company's movie who is cheap and has acting skills. The second female lead. Marion has won an Oscar in the parallel world and is also very popular in China. She is known as the "French Mei Ting".
They look really similar.
Yang Jian will not have anything happen to Marion, even if his girlfriend is not around. Marion is not his type. She has a retro appearance and elegant and charming temperament, which is obviously different from the fools and idiots in his family.
There was no problem filming. When she and Leonardo DiCaprio were filming "Inception", they looked quite like a couple.
The two couldn't work together in this movie, the important roles had all been decided, and there was no supporting actress suitable for Marion.
After sending Marion away, Derek Croft, the executive producer, came to chat with Yang Jian. "Do you have any thoughts about this female fan who is so special?"
"No, she is a French female star who wants to develop in Hollywood. I have seen her acting skills in movies and I plan to cast her in movies in the future. There are many potential female stars in Europe, which is better than finding actors in the United States. Diane is not
Is that the best example?”
"Yeah, Diane didn't expect that she could be so famous. Your script is so flattering." Croft smiled and said, "If you want to work with a European actress in the future, just tell me and I will find someone.
"
"There will be. Let's talk about it when necessary. How is the filming of the scene upstairs going?"
"The progress is very slow. Both of them can't act scared and panicked. Zach must still be telling them a story." Croft shrugged.
"Then let Zach have a headache. Let's continue drinking coffee downstairs and sit for a while." Yang Jian knew that Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills could only be polished, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead was a newcomer and had no experience.
.
Both of them have the same shortcomings, they are too sweet in appearance. They struggle to act in literary dramas, but they are very suitable as vases.
Fortunately, their roles are relatively simple. Whether the movie is a hit or not depends mainly on the performance of the two male protagonists.
