Chapter 364 [If You Make up Your Mind, You May Become Famous]
When Guo Xu left the Lakers, his goal was not to change teams until he retired. Only in this way could his historical status be guaranteed. The right to veto trades was very important to him.
Star players change teams frequently, and their historical status will not be very high no matter how many championships they win, because they must have enough MVPs and FMVPs to prove themselves. It is easier for the boss of a team to obtain these honors, and you can build tactics around him. Build a team around him.
In Guo Xu's previous life, having the right to veto trades was an honor in itself. There were only a handful of stars at this level in the league, including Duncan, Nowitzki, Kobe, James, Anthony, etc...
Hey, it seems like some strange person has gotten in. It's so embarrassing.
What is more important to Guo Xu is the right to speak in drafts and trades, so that he can maximize the advantages of rebirth. Bryan said that he and D'Antoni had the final say after discussing it. In fact, it was mainly to see what he thought.
This year's Suns draft and trade were entirely based on Guo Xu's ideas, and D'Antoni was at best an insider.
D'Antoni has no objection to this. He relied on holding Guo Xu's thigh to get to the top position last year. He knows that the Suns are Guo Xu's team and everyone else can be replaced.
Guo Xu likes Brian very much. This manager has a lot of imagination. His method of arranging "undercover agents" behind the visiting team's bench has indeed improved the home winning rate. He often helps the coaching staff quickly understand the opponent's substitution tactics and make immediate adjustments.
And he is good enough to Guo Xu, giving him whatever he wants. He is not afraid of spending money or paying luxury tax, but he is afraid that the core will be dissatisfied.
Guo Xu had made up his mind at this time to help Brian take over the team next year. Judging from the situation in the past many years, Colangelo and his son are people who truly love basketball and they will run the team well.
Robert Saville, the new owner of the Suns in his previous life, was terrible. It was difficult for players, coaches, and management to stay in office for a long time. The word "employ people without suspicion" was not in Saville's dictionary. What he was best at doing The problem is that employees are fired and things are ruined.
After 2010, the Suns never made the playoffs again. ESPN experts later pointed out the crux of the Suns' problem: "Boss Saville's interference in the team's operations has become increasingly profound. Before that, he had no influence on personnel matters." There have been enough changes involved, including the recent appointment and dismissal of head coaches."
"For the Suns, the challenge has not changed: Saville may be the NBA's most involved owner in basketball decisions, and the team's team building plans are constantly changing. For them, they want to hire a new general manager. , it’s never easy.”
"Big Mouth" Buckley also publicly accused Savile of being arbitrary and unpopular when participating in the show in 2017.
Once Savile came to power,
Guo Xu may have to consider leaving the Suns, because all decisions of the team must be finalized by Saville. The most frightening thing is that this boss doesn't know much about basketball. He has turned the Suns into a bad team without fighting spirit and soul. The core of his future selection will be the data brush Devin Booker.
There are specialties in the art industry, and these billionaires are basically amateurs of basketball, and very few of them have real professional backgrounds. When it comes to major decisions about the team, they make the final decision. To put it bluntly, the layman directs the expert.
The biggest advantage of Brian is that he knows how capable he is. He trusts the vision of professionals more. Even if Guo Xu is much younger than him, he does not make decisions alone when selecting people. This kind of boss who listens to other people's opinions and likes to discuss everything with others is more likely to succeed when meeting Guo Xu. He can just wait at home and count the money.
After confirming some things about the team with the manager, Guo Xu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the filming of "The Innocence of a Dancer".
Robert Smith invited Donald Petrie to be the director. This 50-year-old director is very good at directing light comedies. His previous two movies were box office hits and have a good reputation.
"Beautiful Agent" has a global box office of 210 million US dollars, saving the "Sangpo" who once lost her net worth due to the blockbuster "Speed 2".
"The 10-Day Dating Guide" released at the end of January this year has a global box office of nearly 180 million. Even though the heroine Kate Hudson has a face like Kate Upton's, only Keira Knightley's The breasts are still very hot thanks to this piece.
The most suitable thing about Donald as the director of this film is that he is good at training actors and does not torture them repeatedly. He will create characters according to the characteristics of the actors. He likes to let the actors play freely and never force them.
Just like Sandra Bullock acted for the silly girl in "The Secret Service", she was carefree and informal; Matthew McConaughey acted in a serious comedy in "The 10-Day Dating Manual", and the results were very good. good.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Sandra later became an Oscar winner, and Matthew also became an actor. Director Donald is very good at narrating plays to the actors, teaching them how to brew emotions and express the content of the script.
Donald told Guo Xu that what he wanted to do at the beginning was to act cool, picky, and have a bad temper. He could express his character with facial paralysis. He didn't need to be exaggerated and just ignored people.
He asked Keanu Reeves, who plays the brother, to always smile. He cares about his brother very much and has a cheerful personality. His words are a bit unreliable.
This is to let them play each other.
In Hollywood, after Keanu became famous in the 1990s, he mainly focused on commercial films. He won the hearts of countless nymphomaniacs with his uninhibited and cold face. He had no pressure at the box office, but his acting skills were never recognized. No matter how high the box office is, he will never be nominated for an Oscar. Film critics describe him as "facial paralysis."
In fact, Keanu has very rich expressions in life, and only good friends can often see him. It is not difficult for him to play a person who loves to laugh, and he can talk more.
What many people don’t know is that at the age of 25, Keanu had already become a popular meme in the United States before he became a superstar.
In the science fiction comedy "The Adventures of Bill and Ted", he played Ted, a silly and cute high school student with mushroom hair, and received good reviews. During his debut, he starred in many comedies of this type.
Once an actor becomes famous and the audience likes to watch, is acting really that important?
In Guo Xu's previous life, Leonardo spent a lot of effort and tortured himself to finally win the Oscar, but the price he paid was a completely ruined image. Look at "The Rock" Johnson again. He always acts in the same way, with a bald head and big muscles. His movies have become hits one after another. They were both popular, and Johnson was more comfortable.
Guo Xu just wants to follow a comfortable business route, and has fun making movies. If he can get high box office, it will be perfect. As for winning awards, he has never considered it.
The stylists on the set can help Guo Xu to look handsome and cool easily. His clothing style and flat hair style are all suitable for him. The director and photographer try their best to make him handsome and unrestrained. As long as he says the lines well, many scenes will be a one-step process. , the shot was very smooth.
Guo Xu's British accent is a major specialty in the entertainment industry. He doesn't need to practice it deliberately. Everyone praises his lines. His accent is magnetic, and this advantage will be magnified in the theater.
Megan also performed at a superb level and performed perfectly in the first few scenes.
In fact, she is not acting, she is the person written in the script, and the character design is completely copied from life, even the catchphrase "You will regret it" is copied. Except for Guo Xu, no one else can write this kind of story.
After ten days of filming, everyone felt that this film might become a hit...
