The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 659 it\'s not going to end well
,!
Unlike the Celtics, which make a lot of noise about contract extensions, the Knicks only have one contract renewal job to do.
That is to renew the contract with Dennis Rodman.
They didn't give other teams a chance to take advantage of it. Using the $1 million expansion exception brought by Dan Marley and Ronnie Sekali, plus some space left in the salary cap, they gave Rodman a five-year contract. 8 million contract.
Rodman readily accepted, he loved playing for Louie.
Louie wasn't much older than him, and always cared about him like a big brother, and made him a big part of this talented team, and he couldn't think of a better place than the Knicks.
As for the signing of Kemp and Doug West, there will basically be no problems. With the addition of Sam Bowie and Reggie Williams, the Knicks have introduced four powerful players. The entire 15-man roster, the only What can be considered dispensable is Brad Rohaus.
But Louis likes to use Rohaus to make a living, so it can be said that the Knicks' 15-man roster is all players who can fight.
For coaches, just thinking about how to schedule their playing time is a headache.
Louis wasn't about to think about it, and on July 6, he was "forced" to see a musical on Broadway with Lorraine.
A layman like him is more interested in Sex, Lies and Videotape, which is due out next month, than a musical.
Then Lorraine told him that this is not an ordinary musical, this is a musical in the name of lsp and musical, it has nothing to do with music, although the actors on the stage are almost naked, but there is nothing that can be linked to Ivy Content, because every show has cops from the metropolitan area coming in to do a detailed check to make sure there are no indecent acts.
Lorraine wanted to see it because it was the musical's last Broadway run.
Since it is in the name of LSP, of course Louis is going to have a look.
This musical is called "Calcutta Scenery" (oh! calcutta!), which claims to be a satirical comedy that criticizes fashion, but the content of the whole stage is full of "sexual customs" and "sex topics", and the actors are all nude. In the last scene of today even simulated that what is that.
Although the plot was boring, Louis was excited to watch it.
"Oh my god, is this the last match?"
Lorraine gave him a blank look: "You look very intoxicated, Mr. Lu."
"I mean, this kind of musical that destroys the appearance of the city has been performed for more than 5,000 performances?" Louis still had a line.
And he, who has lived in New York for five years, doesn't know?
What a shame!
Are you embarrassed to say that you are an LSP in the future?
I'm ashamed to see people!
"Hmph, just pretend!"
Lorraine knows exactly what her husband thinks.
With nothing to do, Louis not only accompanied Lorraine, but also served as the head of the house for a few days. He found that the chemical reaction between himself and the child could only last for 120 minutes.
About the time of a movie.
He can't play with them like a good dad all day, after that point he gets bored.
Fortunately, his son Lu Wuxia became interested in basketball.
Louie taught him dribbling, passing, and shooting hand in hand, and invited Tomjanovich to teach him when necessary.
Of course, he would not take Tomjanovich's vacation for no reason. As a thank you to the other party, Louis invited Tomjanovich to invest in "Hasbro" with him.
This is a toy company. Louis remembered that he bought toys from this store in his previous life, either in the United States or in China.
Tomjanovich trusted Louis, because the latter invested heavily in Microsoft in 1984 and achieved great success. Since then, he has achieved financial freedom, which is also a good story in the league.
Just as publicizing his story can convince people who will watch the players, investment can also be successful.
Louie's investment is basically based on expert advice and memories of previous lives.
If he knows or feels familiar, he will think about investing. In the former, he would throw money mindlessly. In the latter, he will selectively invest money after consulting experts.
In addition to family, business, and love for restricted-rated movies, Louis will find a way to bring Lorraine's acting career to a new stage.
Last year's "Leap to the Future" unexpectedly became popular, harvesting a box office of 130 million U.S. dollars, which also made Lorraine famous. Many film offers floated in, but she only accepted a villain supporting actress in "007: License to Kill".
Also last year, at the high-level gathering of the Madison Square Garden Company, Louis met director Gregory J. Bonner (Gregory****onann), who is preparing a TV series to be released on NBC next year.
The TV series was named "Baywatch" (baywatch1989-2001). According to Bona's description, Louis suddenly thought that it was the late-night show that Chandler and Joey watched in front of the TV on time in "Friends" ?
Louie has secured an important supporting role for Lorraine, and the show's first season will air this month.
And then there's the present, when Michigan-based writer and producer John Hughes was on vacation illuminated by the inspiration gods when it occurred to him that "he's on vacation and he's going to forget everything he doesn't want to remember .But obviously he couldn't forget his baby, and he suddenly thought, what if you leave the baby at home for 10 days?"
He wrote an eight-page outline on the spot, then spent months perfecting the script, and approached Warner Bros. for funding, which he promised would be under $10 million, well below the budget of most contemporary films. .
Although Hughes is from Michigan, he is from the same place as Tragedian Johnson - Lansing. But he settled in New York, was a Knicks season ticket holder and a friend of Louie's.
While chatting with him, Louie heard about the script for his new movie.
He listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more familiar it became.
"A comic tale of a young boy left alone at home confronting a burglar and deftly dueling him," the description alone reminded Louis.
Isn't this "Home Alone"?
How popular is a family comedy that has become pop culture in China? Louis immediately expressed his appreciation for the script.
Unexpectedly, Hughes was frowning, because he asked Warner Bros. for an investment of 10 million at the beginning, but now he finds that this figure is not enough. There are too many accidents. In the future, it may take 14-18 million to complete this project.
Hughes thought of a way to secretly contact other film companies to see if they could get more investment.
And this needs Louis' help, which is why he came to Louis.
Although Louis is not in the film industry, his boss, Jack Kruger, the president of msg, is a man of the hour in New York.
Louis didn't think this practice of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot was good for Hughes.
He smiled and said, "Your plan is good, but I have a suggestion, a slight modification based on your plan."
The result of Louie’s “slight modification” is as follows. Hughes first went to Time Warner to ask for money. If not, he (Louis) personally contributed to make up for the lack of funds. One, he had the right to make a small request—to give Lorraine a role in the movie.
Hughes didn't expect Louis to be so generous. After all, even he himself didn't know how the work was received after it came out.
The two sides hit it off, but Louis did not expect that his additional investment reached 8 million US dollars in the end.
This amount of investment, five years ago, he would never have been able to do it.
Even now, his cash is only a little over 10 million U.S. dollars. Although he has invested in many projects, it takes time for them to appreciate, so in the eyes of the outside world, he is equivalent to spending 8 million for his wife in a low-cost movie. Bought a character here.
Everyone thought he was stupid.
"The New York Times" entertainment page put it bluntly: "Knicks' messiah is trying to be his wife's messiah. He chose a movie with zero hope of success. It will not end well."
Louis smiled and said nothing, his actions moved Lorraine to a mess.
Louis, who has seen the future, didn't say much about it. No matter how the media ridiculed him, he didn't respond.
Well, maybe it's time to think about it now, a film with a budget of 18 million US dollars, he invested 8 million, how much will he make by then? (The final global box office is 470 million)
As the suspense over where Ralph Sampson will go ends early, this year's free market looks very depressed~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, the number one free agent outside of Sampson is Adrian Dante Lee, how does this get people excited?
The fruitless Chicago Bulls made the leading star strongly dissatisfied with the management.
Sir Charles, who has always been outspoken, declared in a nightclub: "If this **** situation doesn't change, I will change the status quo myself!"
The words were heavy enough to make Klaus go after Dantley in a daze.
Will anything good happen when a selfish person is put together with an undisciplined person?
Louis did not prevent the Bulls from signing Dantley, which is the result he wanted to see.
The Bulls successfully signed Dantley, and some Chicagoans hope that Dantley will become a real mentor, using his own lessons to warn young players.
After retiring, Dantley may have really done this, but many things can only be thought about after getting old.
For the Bulls' move to sign Dantley, Louie had to take the Times's comment on his investment in "Home Alone": "This will not have good results."
