Chapter 427 [Prepare to force the palace, full of emotions]

Yang Rui commented on the game, had fun, and soon came February 2004, when All-Star Weekend was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The alliance has begun to show a pattern of strong in the east and weak in the west.The Lakers had the bottom record, and Kobe still became the Western Conference All-Star starter. The other four players were Baron Davis, Garnett, Duncan, and O'Neal Jr.

Kobe's popularity has also declined. He was the league's vote king last season, and this time he is not as good as Duncan in the Western Conference.

Amazingly, Warriors center Eric Dampier was named an All-Star.As soon as O'Neal left, Brad Miller didn't come, and there were no good centers in the West.At this time, Dampier, who averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds per game, was particularly noticeable.

There are many stars in the East, and Yao Ming was not selected as an All-Star because of poor statistics.

Larry Brown is a stubborn old man. Yang Rui satirized him, and the media criticized him. Everyone felt that Yao's name should be reused. Under the pressure, he became angry.

The old man just doesn't use Yao's name, you bite me?

As a result, the Knicks ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with an average record, and only Ben Wallace was selected as an All-Star.

Even more shocking than Dampier's All-Star selection, Ben Wallace became the Eastern Conference star starter.He received a total of 1982251 votes, and "Big Shark" O'Neal only had more than 140 million votes and was forced to substitute.Two job-hopping also made O'Neal's popularity plummet.

Fans identified Daben as the best defensive player and Yao Ming as a parallel importer. Yang Rui made a fuss on Yao Ming's behalf and did not reverse his impression.

The other four starters in the East: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Brand.

Carter has once again become the ticket king, and the Raptors have rebounded this season, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

The biggest beneficiary of the butterfly effect is Carmelo Anthony, Kirilenko is in the Raptors, Francis is also in the Eastern Hornets, and the Western perimeter lacks stars.Anthony was selected to the All-Star team in his rookie season, and Hamilton was also selected to the reserve team.

Yao Ming represented the second grade in the rookie game and arrived in Los Angeles.He wasn't interested at all, but the league mandated his presence.

Yang Rui called Yao Ming to be a guest at his house, and suggested, "Don't listen to Larry Brown's SB's arrangement. He usually coaches high-level mid-range shots and mid-range three-pointers. In the summer, he forces the palace team. Be domineering, you Just say that if you don’t trade, you can go back to China, and you can just scold Brown directly. I’ve decided which team to go to, and I’ll trade you there.”

"Really?" With this assurance, Yao Ming felt much better.

"I believe you have the strength to become an All-Star, listen to me, don't gain weight, practice shooting while maintaining mobility, if you can practice passing the ball, it's better, as long as these points are done, we will play Brown together. And the face of the Knicks." Yang Rui is not talking empty words, he has already planned to take Yao's name.

Yao Ming, who has just been elected as the champion, is very valuable, and the Knicks will never change it. He has been on the bench for two consecutive years, the data is ugly, and his value has dropped.As long as you come up with enough chips, you will definitely be able to impress the Knicks.

"Forcing the palace... Can it be done?" Yao Ming said with a wry smile, he had never done such a thing, and the United States was not his home.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Of course, don't think about giving Brown face. Americans like personality, domineering people, but they don't like honest players. If you want to become a star, you should learn to be cruel."

Yao Ming carries the hope of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, but he cannot be a substitute in the NBA for a lifetime.At Yang Rui's house, he called his agent to get ready to force the palace.They won't talk about cooperation with Yang Rui, it will only make the transaction more difficult.

Yang Rui is still waiting. Lakers owner Jerry Buss has not contacted him yet, so he is very calm.

Yang Rui and the Wizards are in conflict, and the negative impact is two-way. Many people think that his behavior is too domineering.

Old Buss is also an older boss. If Yang Rui falls out with the Lakers in the future, he can't stand the excitement.He has now added Jim Buss and Jenny Buss to the front office and is ready to hand over.What he was worried about was that the two would not be able to control Yang Rui in the future, or even conflict, so he could not make up his mind.

Old Bass's idea is not unfounded, because Yang Rui despises old Bass' sons and daughters, and the prerequisite for his willingness to join the Lakers is that until 2011, the old Bass has the final say, until he has the final say. His body was dying, and little Bass began to point fingers.

The Lakers run by the old Buss for more than 30 years are basically aristocratic teams. Although there are low points, they can complete the reconstruction in one or two years. After the death of the old Buss, the Lakers quickly degenerated. His descendants have been struggling through the team and have been in Valley bottom.At the time Yang Rui crossed, the Lakers were still a hopelessly bad team, and they couldn’t get results with money.

Yang Rui is not in a hurry, because he has many options. Before that, the management of the Cavaliers, Kings, and Warriors have contacted his agent.

In the rookie match, "Little Emperor" James and "Little Overlord" Stoudamire became the focus, and the two staged wonderful dunks several times.In the end, the sophomore won, and Stoudamire was named rookie MVP.

明星正赛一边倒，东部队143比122击败西部，奥尼尔替补出场砍下26分13篮板2助攻2封盖，当选了MVP。

Yang Rui attended the game, and as a guest commentator on TNT radio, he explained the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game.

At the end of February, Stana Katic was invited to the Oscars, and Yang Rui walked the red carpet with her as a male companion.

Lost in Translation was nominated for four Oscars, with director and screenwriter Sofia Coppola winning Best Original Screenplay, and three other Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Director awards.

Stana's acting skills were disliked by the Oscar judges.She didn't have much ambition. She never thought of becoming an actress, and she would be content with making commercial films.

At the beginning of March, the crew of "The Female Spy" was properly arranged, and the filming officially started, and the young director Jack Kasdan, who directed the highly praised comedy "Freaks and Nerds" in 1999, was hired to guide.

In Yang Rui's previous life, "The Spy" was directed by Paul Feige. Now it's ten years earlier, Feige is still a screenwriter and an actor, and only served as an assistant to Kasdan in "Freaks and Nerds". The two shoot in a similar way.

In the end, the investment of this movie will definitely be controlled at about 4000 million. The only person with a relatively high salary is Stana Katic. After she acted in two blockbuster movies, her net worth has increased. 300 million US dollars to play a female villain with an average role is not low.

This is also normal, now Hollywood actresses are generally not paid too much. Charlize Theron, who became the queen of the movie, took over the filming of "Wonder Woman" and her salary was only 1000 million, which is already the highest salary in her career.

It is rumored that Chow Yun-fat received 1300 million RMB for "Bulletproof Monk", and 600-50 million RMB for "Anna and the King", and now "The Spy" for [-] thousand cabbage.He can only accept it, and after reading the script, he wants to rely on this to make a comeback.

According to Hollywood's unspoken rules, no one will invite Chow Yun-fat to film with a high salary in the short term, and he will have to wait until his worth is gone.

The female lead Scarlett and the second male lead, Matt Bomer, are paid only 30 and 20 yuan, which is pure rookie price. Even if Scarlett is an acquaintance, she has to follow the rules and not disrupt the market.

Even so, Scarlett's mother Melanie and father Carsten were very grateful to Yang Rui, and went to Los Angeles to meet Yang Rui and gave gifts to express their gratitude.

When eating together, they were filled with emotion: "Our fat man will be entrusted to you in the future".
