NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 225: Don’t get involved!!!!!

The deal about Yao Ming ended perfectly!

Regardless of whether insiders doubt, approve or ridicule, this deal was really completed by the Knicks at a normal price.

What happens next is streamlined.

Dayao came to New York and fans across the city warmly welcomed him.

At the airport, on the road, and at the entrance of the arena, there are many fans watching the arrival of the Chinese giant.

And he was warmly entertained by the Knicks, and everyone on the team gave him and Armstrong a clean break.

However, because he had not yet fully recovered, he did not make a big deal about it. After a dinner party, he went to the New York Medical Center to continue treatment and recovery.

Jiang Chaozhen wasn't too excited when he saw him. After all, he had talked a lot in China, so it would be nice if he came.

Yao temporarily lives in the apartment of Arab League. The two Chinese giants may become the patron saints of the New York Knicks in the future???

Liu Yan used the Knicks official website and major social accounts to post pictures and texts to warmly welcome the two new players.

He also stamped Dayao with an indefinite truce to prevent fans from thinking too much.

After Dayao and Armstrong joined the team, they both posted long messages to thank the fans and the Knicks. The words were full of happiness.

Especially Armstrong, this is his hometown, and the feeling of playing for his hometown is completely different.

But Dayao said something particularly well:

May all the good things and expectations come true one by one.

There are a bunch of fans commenting below, yes, yes...

The young marshal only said one sentence to Dayao:

"You can rest assured and recover. We need you and we will definitely make good use of you. I have already designed the tactics. What we need is a healthy you."

And Dayao's old teammate Mark Jackson also shook his eyebrows at him.

You must know that he is the point guard who understands Yao Ming best in the Yao-Mai era. He knows what tactics Yao is most comfortable playing, so he is very happy that Yao comes to the Knicks.

Yao Ming, who no longer needed to use crutches at this time, looked at a group of young coaches and his old friends. He didn't feel like he was in a foreign place, he just felt at home.

"Wait until I come back."

Zhang Mingji posted these four words on Chinese social media for him, indicating that he himself is eager to come back.

Jiang Chao raised his head and patted Dayao on the back:

"Here, I'll give you two movie tickets. Your wife Ye Li is here and we can go watch a movie together."

…

Valentine's Day eve.

Hollywood Opera Theater.

Broadway umi cinema.

Couples sat in the cinema in twos and threes, looking forward to the gunfire at night.

The premiere of Chaoshen Entertainment's "Heartbeat" was held in these two places respectively.

Jiang Chao is now using a very "hypocritical" movie marketing method in the past few years, which is to notify movie channels and various movie media to hold a premiere before the movie is released. Simply put, it is to get more news in newspapers.

.

The mode of combining premieres and spot screenings can make spot screenings equivalent to a small-scale screening for half a month. However, if it has a good reputation, it is a good choice for spot screenings. On the contrary, the opposite effect is also very scary. Experienced people who have watched spot screenings

If fans post a few critical posts, the box office may lose millions.

After the Knicks successfully recruited Yao Ming, Chaoshen Entertainment also launched its debut.

Jiang Chao rushed to Hollywood, and Zhang Xiaolong was also here. This deputy was now really dedicated to his responsibilities. Anyway, his "Chao Chat" platform could be developed anywhere with a computer, so it was natural for Jiang Chao's main business to be there.

In his opinion, Chaoliao is just a recent "newcomer", and the "film and television" sector that Jiang Chao has cultivated for a long time is bound to bear fruit.

Lily Collins is indeed the most beautiful woman with thick eyebrows. She came up and gave her a hug:

"Brother Jiang Chao, you are here!"

Jiang Chao ruffled her hair and naturally saw the weakness of her father who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium. He kissed her side of the cheek and said with a smile:

“You’ve worked hard on publicity these days!”

Then he turned around and asked the director how the premiere was received.

Here the leading actor Bryce Ross happily shakes hands with Jiang Chao:

"It's very good. The seats are all full. This Valentine's Day, many boys will dislike their girlfriends!"

"How do you say that?" Jiang Chao looked at the handsome kid and said with a smile.

"After watching this movie, all boys will envy such a girlfriend! This is the love we boys dream of!"

"Okay, okay, Lily's acting skills should remind many people of their first love." He touched Lily's head and smiled.

This is the reason why he chose "Snow White". She is pure and youthful, and her appearance alone makes her so immersive that the look of his first love in his dream may be based on her.

However, Zhang Xiaolong was a little worried. He tentatively asked Jiang Chao if he could change the plot a little.

As a well-versed person in Chinese and American culture, he said the movie was too bland.

"Well, it's okay, Manager Zhang, please tell me carefully."

To be honest, Jiang Chao rarely hears dissenting voices in his ears. He was quite happy to hear this different voice. He likes people who are so loyal and disagreeable!

Then Zhang Xiaolong said that Americans may prefer vigorous love, and although the production team feels that American adults will feel the same, they will never come to the theater to watch it a second time, nor will they recommend friends to watch it, as they will feel bored.

Tasteless.

Spending money to watch such a boring movie is something American movie fans are not willing to do now.

They prefer impulsive violence and excitement.

Jiang Chao nodded:

"I know everything you said, that's why I want to win the Asian market and get good reputation."

Zhang Xiaolong:

"That's a must. I just think this one is more in line with the Asian market. Our Asian tastes definitely prefer this kind of freshness."

The two exchanged opinions, and Jiang Chao also felt the talent and learning displayed by Zhang Xiaolong.

After all, "Pumping Heart" belongs to the category of literary and romantic movies, the kind that you need to buy a CD and watch slowly at home many times.

The literary films that Americans like are the kind of wandering poets, road films in which people go on a journey and experience various things. To put it bluntly, it’s the story of a beautiful woman.

When you come to the theater to watch a love movie, what you want is forced sex, kissing, taking off your bra, 19-year-old ban...the kind that makes couples go to the hotel the next second after watching it.

In this era, Asians with more traditional ideas really like artistic films, and there are many excellent directors of artistic films, such as Chief Jia, Wong Kar-Wai, etc., who all make very interesting films.

The two people spoke in Chinese, which would not be understood by the crew. After all, saying this at the premiere would hurt morale.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaolong said it a bit late. The movie was released directly after Valentine's Day, so there was no room for changes.

Jiang Chao knew what he meant, which was to add those taboo contents, but if these were really added to the movie, it wouldn't be so amazing.

However, Zhang Xiaolong was right, it was indeed not suitable for business.

There were five movies released in theaters on Valentine's Day, and "Heartbeat" ranked last at the box office.

Even if it is a movie theater where the main creators go, there are only two or three couples wearing jerseys or four or five couples watching movies in the movie theater, and it is still late before it is full.

Both Hashimoto Kanna and Yang Chaoyue cried. They attributed this to the fact that they didn't choose a good schedule for Jiang Chao.

But in fact, what Jiang Chao saw was the power of capital.

Because the box office of the premiere was not good, it was only 1 million US dollars. In addition, Chaoshen Entertainment had no new funds to inject into mainstream theaters and asked them to help promote and increase film schedules.

When publicity and market feedback failed, major theater chains took off the production of "Heartbeat" produced by Boss Jiang, a cute new screenwriter and producer, early.

This made Jiang Jiang and Daddario, two super entertainment executives, furious, but they could only be incompetent and furious. They also have reasons. There are so many movies during Valentine's Day, who has time to wait for your follow-up?

Working hard...

The treatment of this kind of new film and television company is like this. It doesn't have a big start and expects capital to be optimistic about your follow-up. That's impossible. How many movies are waiting to be queued up to be released in theaters every day and every week.

Therefore, "Pumping Heart", which ended a week after its release, was like the ending in a movie. I don't know what the future will be like.

Both Jiang Chao and Chaoshen Entertainment have overestimated their influence. Movies must ultimately meet the market.

The final box office in the North American market was US$7.9 million, but Jiang Chao spent more than US$10 million in investment.

There is no way, in order to strive for excellence, he has a lot of equipment and the best that the team uses.

And because he didn’t raise any investment, this was all the investment made by him as the producer. If it weren’t for the daily cash flow from the team and Chaoshen Sports, it’s very likely that the movie wouldn’t be released so soon.

The media is ecstatic!!

Finally some squirted!

They had been depressed for a long time after Jiang Chao successfully traded Dayao. In addition, the Knicks' record has been very stable. It seems that the playoffs are certain. There are fewer and fewer points of criticism against Jiang Chao, the Chinese boss.

The film industry helps!

"Times Film Weekly":

The first trial of the new Knicks owner, the Rotten Tomatoes score is 72%, which is okay, but the box office is sluggish.

Los Angeles Film Weekly:

Not everyone can make movies, boss Jiang Chao’s stupid investment.

"Screenwriter News":

Boss Jiang encountered obstacles in his first screenwriting career!

"Not everyone can make movies, Boss Jiang's stupid investment!"

"Jiang Chao, screenwriter and producer? Facts have proved that producers who cannot concentrate will only fail!"

"Jiang Chao doesn't understand the American film market, so he suggests just managing the team well"

"Don't get involved in the movie's cake!"

"If you can't finish the cake, you won't be able to pack it up for a layman to take away."

After hearing the news, Lily Collins burst into tears in Jiang Chao's arms. The only full house for this movie was the reserved tickets her father bought to support her...

She didn't mind being sprayed, after all, it was her first heroine movie, and she had already been mentally prepared.

What bothered her was that no one was even spraying her, everything was like a gust of wind, and there didn't seem to be any waves.

Jiang Chao calmly comforted her not to be sad. His plan had just begun and would not end there.

Scarlett, Daddario, Longma and others heard about it and came to comfort their Snow White. They also helped "Heartbeat". After seeing such results, they also had a deep impression on the company's other works.

worries.

Jiang Chao, who has always been confident and never slaps people in the face, actually suffered a Waterloo-like blow in the film market. He didn't even get back his money at the box office, and with the theater chain sharing half of it, he lost almost 10 million US dollars?

"It doesn't matter if you lose money for us, just keep shooting after losing money. It can always be done. We are not just shooting this one, and this movie will be very popular in non-theatres.

Your sisters Hashimoto Kanna and Yang Chaoyue are also working hard, so don’t worry, you are my people, the women I love deeply, and I will support your hobbies to the end."

Jiang Chao grabbed a few people and talked about love, which made a few people burst into tears.

Seeing these top beauties being moved by him, Jiang Chao felt very calm.

because……

This box office is already five times higher than that of later generations. That's enough, okay?

Even Zhang Xiaolong, a non-movie fan, discovered the shortcomings of this movie being released in theaters, so it is normal for the movie not to be a big hit at the box office. Even the plot is only discussed in niche circles. The big media may not have watched it, and the news has not.

It was written around criticizing Jiang Chao for being slapped in the face for the first time, and it was absolutely brilliant.

But in fact, it’s just like what Jiang Chao said to them, for the sake of beauty, it’s okay for you to be King Zhou You, Feng Huo and other princes, so what if I just give them some money to make a movie for them but it’s a waste of time?

This is their hobby. If they don't work hard when they are young and don't try to make movies that should be made at this age, they will regret it when they get older.

Jiang Chao prefers that the women around him grow up, instead of being like a love slave by his side all the time. Y is only suitable for once or twice.

Successful people don’t want the girls around them to be frivolous. Only girls with status, status, culture, and dreams will feel more comfortable.

Chaoshen Sports is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so although the film industry is burning money, it can now afford it.

Look at the current criticism of him in the media. No one is saying that he is going to go bankrupt or anything. Basically, they can finally complain about his investment failure. The bankruptcy talk at the beginning of the season has long disappeared. Look at the shoes that everyone is wearing on the street recently.

You know, Chaoshen Sports is making crazy money.

Moreover, the income of the Madison Square Garden Arena is also booming, and the money spent by Super Entertainment Media is not as much as the arena’s daily revenue.

This time it was just a matter of drizzle. The media typically dislikes the good mentality of rich people, but he has a big heart. Instead, he, who suffers the most, is comforting his subordinates.

It’s been a while since the All-Stars gathered together, right?

And it’s impossible for him to stop working in film and television. I didn’t see that famous directors such as Lao Mouzi, Kai Ge, Xiao Gang, etc. all spoke in support of Jiang Chao’s film and television career. This road has already started very well.

, even Lao Mouzi directly said at the Golden Lion Awards Ceremony that some movies are not suitable for broadcast in some markets, which was a double entendre.

This timing is obviously saying that "Pumping Heartbeat" is not suitable for the North American market.

But in fact, it is also said that "Thirteen Hairpins" may not be suitable for release in the neon market, but it will definitely be released in the neon market!

…

Coincidentally, the media material came again.

"Super Body" was released a week later, proving why famous directors are famous directors...

The premiere grossed 30 million U.S. dollars, and the box office soared toward 500 million U.S. dollars.

Actor Scarlett, who is very close to Jiang Chao, is very generous with her share of the profits. You have to remember that she is the heroine, and the cost of this movie is only 40 million US dollars!

Scarlett was so excited that she directly thanked Jiang Chao in a long post.

He directly counterattacked the media.

What do you mean Jiang Chao has bad vision??

Just kidding, he introduced me to the audition for "Super Body"!!!

In 2005, Scarlett made her debut in the commercial film "Escape from Clone Island", which failed miserably at the box office;

Nine years later, Scarlett challenged herself again and starred in a science fiction film as the heroine. She achieved great success and avenged her previous shame.

Jiang Chao’s first achievement!

Even Luc Besson didn't expect that the box office would be so high. Too many people like Scarlett. You have to know that this is an R-rated movie with a restricted viewing audience. It's amazing to have a box office of 500 million!

However, the media can still criticize Jiang Chao for his poor writing and production skills, so he should just invest in films by other famous directors in the future.

Moreover, Scarlett has not yet joined Chaoshen Entertainment due to the length of her contract, and the money she earns has nothing to do with Jiang Chao, so this counterattack is not that powerful.

Until Luc Besson personally invited Jiang Chao to attend the celebration banquet.

The super high return rate of revenue has allowed the film crew to make a lot of money; the film has a Douban score of 7.3 and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 76%, which is also a good reputation.

In Jiang Chao's view, this actually proves that hard work will definitely succeed, because the concept of the film "Superbody" has been brewing in Luc Besson's mind for ten years.

The total number of special effects exceeds 1,000, which also results in first-class movie viewing in the theater. The special effects lenses tailor-made by Industrial Light and Magic fit perfectly with imax3d, which profoundly reflects the core idea of ​​the film and embodies the director's wild imagination and inner thoughts that he hopes to express.

Philosophy and ethics are shown through the lens, which is a visual feast for the audience.

This kind of commercial film is the most popular in the North American market!

Beautiful girl with super sci-fi setting, 3D special effects, invincible.

In "Super Body", Scarlett is the absolute heroine. She counterattacked from a silly girl to a superwoman. Her acting skills are clear and her looks are changeable. She is very eye-catching. She has a lot of action scenes, kills everyone and is charming.

Shooting, coupled with having super powers, makes people feel the release of their souls.

There are many such movies in Jiang Chao's mind.

Therefore, in Jiang Chao's view, these taunts are all material waiting to be slapped in the face by the advertising department in the future.

Chicken Mader.

When "The Wandering Earth" comes out, who will try to criticize it if it doesn't have a box office???
