Next, Yang Jian participated in the script creation of "The Phantom of the Opera".
Once he joined, he got twice the result with half the effort. Both seniors admired him very much and called him a genius among geniuses.
Yang Jian watched "The Phantom of the Opera" released in Parallel World in 2004 and remembered a lot of details. There were many shortcomings in the first draft of the script, and he was able to point them out pointedly.
Some omissions in the plot are very critical and will seriously affect the movie-watching experience if not corrected.
For example, when the Phantom appeared, there was a strong wind, and all the lights and candles in the theater were extinguished. This was not a ghost movie, and the Phantom had no superpowers. Why was it shot like this?
Another example is when the Phantom locked the door of Christine's room, Mrs. Gilly was watching from the side. The audience who didn't know it thought they were working together, which was inexplicably suspenseful.
Also, when the two sang "The Point of No Return", a group of policemen were ambushing and preparing to arrest the Phantom. There were many dancers on the stage. The story of the opera is that Don Juan and the heroine have a secret date. Why are there a group of people dancing next to them? This is
Which genius in the theater came up with this crazy idea?
Yang Jian easily convinced the two seniors and made many changes to the script.
He also pointed out an important point: the Phantom must not be allowed to act handsome. He doesn't mind putting on makeup to look ugly, which can better reflect Christine's complicated emotions towards him. In fact, Christine has a good impression of the Phantom and makes him
As a musical angel, but afraid of his face.
In addition, Kristen must find a young actress with acting skills, and Yang Jian will participate in the casting. If Yang Jian is to use Amy Rossum, she will definitely not agree, because she will ruin the whole movie.
Weber fully agreed with Yang Jian's idea. He was very happy that Yang Jian did not speak up for Britney and suggested that Britney should play Christine. If this was done, the movie would be finished.
Amy Rosen was selected because she joined the Metropolitan Opera Children's Chorus at the age of 7 and sang until she was 12. Her mother sent Rosen to music school when she was very young, which is a very impressive resume.
Attractive, but the director overestimated her acting skills.
Britney accepted the result calmly and did not ask Yang Jian to help win the role. She knew that she had no acting skills. She had previously starred in a movie "Across the Country", which was released in May this year and failed miserably at the box office.
Britney also brings her own traffic, but the audience is unwilling to enter the theater to watch her perform.
Director Joe Schumacher discussed the script with Yang Jian and was even more impressed. He found that Yang Jian not only knew how to write scripts and perform, but also knew how to shoot. The two discussed the shooting method, and Joe Schumacher believed that Yang Jian could also make it as a director.
This movie is of very high quality.
As time entered July, Yang Jian looked at the updates in the system mall and found nothing he wanted.
When the NBA free market opened, SuperSonics manager Wally Walker immediately took action and signed point guard Chauncey Billups to a six-year, $33.7 million long-term contract on the first day.
Billups couldn't get a bigger contract than this, so he happily accepted it.
He can't even play in the Timberwolves. Which team will offer him a high salary? The most sincere teams that contacted him are the SuperSonics and Pistons. Any fool knows how to choose.
The Timberwolves have no intention of retaining anyone. Coach Flip Saunders looks down on Billups, even though the 180cm small point guard Terrell Brandon announced his retirement.
Billups is not even remotely popular in the league. People forget that he was the third overall pick in 1997, second only to Duncan and Van Horn.
The SuperSonics' second signing gave Ginobili a three-year contract as a second-round pick, and the outside lineup was first strengthened.
The SuperSonics' four-man outside rotation is enough to cause headaches for opponents, and the depth of the lineup is even stronger than last season. Payton will try to transform next season. He will continue to play point guard and his speed will be at a clear disadvantage.
The Eagles offered Mobley a five-year, $43.5 million contract. Because Mobley had Bird rights, the SuperSonics could choose to match the contract. After discussion, the SuperSonics management let Mobley go, and Yang Jian
I didn't express my intention to keep him, that is, I don't need to keep him.
This contract is obviously a premium. Mobley has always been the sixth man in the SuperSonics. It is too luxurious to give the sixth man an annual salary of close to 10 million.
Mobley's fate is much better than in the parallel world. Entering the first round is a turning point. When the Rockets renewed his contract, he only played for two years and was still a second-round pick. The contract extension was only five years and 27.5 million.
His contract expires in 2007, and as long as his decline in form is not serious, he can sign another big contract. However, he was forced to retire due to a heart disease, and I don't know which team he will be involved with by then.
The Sonics' first goal is to renew Rashard Lewis, who is the person Yang Jian named to keep. Lewis wants to test the free market first. As long as other teams don't offer him a maximum salary, the Sonics will choose him.
match.
It is impossible for any team to offer Lewis a maximum salary now. He is just a scorer, not a leader. And no one knows what level Lewis can perform after leaving the SuperSonics and without star teammates passing the ball.
Stephen Jackson is also testing the free market, and it is difficult to get a high-paying long-term contract. His statistics in the SuperSonics are average, he does not score in double figures, and he does not look strong.
However, even if they only sign mid-level players, the Sonics will not be able to retain anyone. The team will have three high-paid players next season, plus Brad Miller and Billups, and they will soon have to pay the luxury tax.
The second person to be poached by the SuperSonics was point guard Anthony Carter. The Pistons offered a three-year, 12 million contract. The Pistons urgently needed to strengthen the No. 1 position. If they did not sign Billups, they would have to consider other players.
.Carter is likely to start in the Pistons next season, which is a good thing for him.
Then Tyronn Lue was also poached, and the Wizards offered him a three-year, $5 million contract. Tyronn Lue had the opportunity to continue to prove himself. Before leaving, he called Yang Jian to thank Yang Jian, thinking that it was Yang Jian who helped him in the NBA.
His life was extended, and he even managed to win the championship.
On the 6th, 40-year-old veteran Kevin Willis joined the Eagles at a low salary for one year. This is where his dream began. He was selected by the Eagles with the 11th pick in the first round of 1984.
On the 7th, the Pacers offered Stephen Jackson $27.5 million over five years.
The Pacers currently lack excellent small forwards. Jackson, who already has three championship rings, wants to get more ball rights and happily joins. He doesn't want to be a blue-collar role player all his life. The championship gives him confidence.
Wally Walker considered signing Jackson in a sign-and-trade, but the Kings looked down on Jackson and would not send Gerald Wallace.
Together with four retired veterans, the Sonics have lost nine players from last season's lineup.
Wally Walker immediately looked for a replacement and signed the famous homeless small forward Jim Jackson on a two-year low-salary contract. This Jackson can also play a role in the SuperSonics. He is good at catching and shooting, and has good three-point ability.
He signed veteran power forward Charles Oakley with a one-year minimum salary. Oakley is a very unlucky player and has not won a championship yet. He left the Bulls in 1988 and missed the Bulls' three consecutive championships. He played in the Knicks and Raptors.
He also failed to win the championship.
Jordan invited Oakley to join the Wizards, but Oakley refused. He knew that going to the Wizards was not a big deal, but a waste of time.
The most meaningful signing for the Sonics was the signing back of Sean Kemp with a minimum salary.
The Trail Blazers bought out the remaining two years of Shawn Kemp's contract for $20 million and then removed him from the team's roster.
For several years, the label of "highly paid and incompetent" has been weighing on Kemp's head, making him breathless. Now, he can finally live a relaxed life because he gave up a salary of $26.5 million.
According to the original contract, Kemp's income next season is 21.5 million U.S. dollars, and will reach 25 million U.S. dollars in the 2003-2004 season. Now, the Trail Blazers only need to pay Kemp 20 million U.S. dollars in the next 10 years.
Kemp called Yang Jian to chat and was excited to return to the SuperSonics. Yang Jian didn't know how to evaluate this guy. The Blazers management had no choice but to give up his salary. The money must be given to him.
However, this incident also shows that Kemp has always been a kind-hearted person, but he is too stupid.
Yang Jian suddenly remembered that there was a weight-loss medicine item in the mall that he had never tried before, worth 1 point, which could help Kemp lose weight. It would be interesting if people saw a different Kemp next season.
