The rest is just noise

Unlike teams like the Celtics, which make big noise about contract extensions, the Knicks only have one thing to do to renew their contracts.

That is renewing the contract with Dennis Rodman.

They did not give other teams a chance to take advantage of the situation. They used the 1 million expansion exception brought by Dan Marley and Ronny Sekali, plus some of the remaining space in the salary cap, to give Rodman a 5-year contract.

8 million contract.

Rodman readily accepted, he loved playing for Louis.

Louis was not much older than him, and he always cared about him like an older brother, and allowed him to play an important role on this talented team. He couldn't think of a better place than the Knicks.

As for Kemp, the signing of Doug West will basically not be a problem. Together with Sam Bowie and Reggie Williams, the Knicks have introduced four capable players. The entire 15-man roster is the only one.

What can be considered dispensable is Brad Rohaus.

But Louis likes to use Luo Haos to make a living, so it can be said that the Knicks' 15-man roster is all players who can compete.

For coaches, just thinking about how to arrange their playing time is a headache.

Louis didn't want to think about it. On July 6, he was "forced" to go to Broadway with Lorraine to watch a musical.

Rather than a musical, a layman like him is more interested in Sex, Lies and Videotape, which will be released next month.

Then Lorraine told him that this was no ordinary musical. It was a musical in the name of LSP and musical. It actually had nothing to do with music. Although the actors on the stage were almost naked, there was nothing that could be linked to the Ivy film.

Content, because every performance has police officers from the metropolitan area coming in to do detailed inspections to make sure there are no immoral performances.

The reason Lorraine wanted to go and see it was because it was the last performance of this musical on Broadway.

Since it was in the name of LSP, of course Louis had to go take a look.

This musical is called "Calcutta Style Painting" (Oh! Calutta!), which is billed as a satirical comedy that criticizes fashion, but the entire stage content is full of "sexual customs" and "sexual topics", and all the actors are

The body, in today's last scene, even simulates that thing.

Although the plot was boring, Louis was very excited to watch it.

"Oh my god, is this the last one?"

Lorraine rolled her eyes at him: "You look very intoxicated, Mr. Lu."

"I mean, this kind of musical that destroyed the appearance of the city has been performed for more than 5,000 performances?" Louis also had a line.

And he, a person who has lived in New York for five years, doesn’t know this?

What a shame!

Do you have the nerve to say you are an LSP from now on?

I'm too embarrassed to ask for help!

"Humph, just pretend!"

Lorraine knew exactly what her husband was thinking.

With nothing to do, Louis not only stayed with Lorraine, but also acted as a house father for a few days. He found that the chemical reaction between himself and his children could only last for 120 minutes.

About the time of a movie.

He can't play with them like a good dad all day long, and after that point he gets bored.

Fortunately, his son Lu Wuxia became interested in basketball.

Louis taught him step by step how to dribble, pass, and shoot, and even invited Tomjanovich to help him when necessary.

Of course he would not take up Tomjanovich's vacation for no reason. As a thank you, Louis invited Tomjanovich to invest in "Hasbro" with him.

This is a toy company. Louis remembers that he bought toys from this store in his previous life, either in the United States or in China.

Tomjanovich trusts 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.

It's like publicizing his deeds can make people believe that those who can look at players will be successful in investing.

Louis' investments are basically based on expert advice and memories of past lives.

If he knows someone, or feels familiar with it, he will think about investing. In the former, he will invest money without thinking. In the latter, he will invest money selectively after asking experts.

In addition to family, business, and his love for R-rated movies, Louis will also find ways to bring Lorraine's acting career to a new stage.

Last year's "Future" unexpectedly became a hit, earning $130 million at the box office, and also made Lorraine famous. Many film offers came to her, but she only accepted a supporting role as a villain in "007: License to Kill".

Also last year, at a gathering of Madison Square Garden executives, Louis met director Gregory J. Bonain, who is preparing a TV series to be released on NBC next year.

The TV series was named "Baywath" (Baywath 1989-2001). According to Boehner's description, Louis suddenly thought that it was the late-night program that Chandler and Joey watched in front of the TV on time in "Friends"

?

Louis has secured a major supporting role for Lorraine, whose first season will air this month.

Then there is the current thing. John Hughes, a writer and producer in Michigan, was illuminated by the inspiration of the God of inspiration while on vacation, and suddenly a thought flashed out: "He is on vacation, and he wants to forget everything he doesn't want to remember."

.But obviously he couldn't forget his child, and he suddenly thought, what would happen if he left the child at home for 10 days?"

He wrote an eight-page outline on the spot, then spent several months perfecting the script and approaching Warner Bros. for investment, promising the film would cost less than $10 million, which is far lower than the budgets of most contemporary films.

.

Although Hughes is from Michigan, the same place as the tragic Johnson, Lansing. But he settled in New York, is a Knicks season ticket holder, and is also a friend of Louie.

Louie heard about the script for his new movie while chatting with him.

He listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more familiar it became.

"A comic story about a little boy who is left alone at home and encounters a thief and has a clever duel with him." This description alone made Louis think of it.

Isn't this "Home Alone"?

How popular is a family comedy that has become popular culture in China? Louis immediately expressed his appreciation for the script.

Unexpectedly, Hughes looked sad because the initial investment he asked Warner Brothers for was 10 million, but he now found that this number was not enough and there were too many surprises. In the future, it may take 14 million to 18 million to complete the project.

Hughes thought of a way to secretly contact other film companies to see if he could get more investment.

And this requires Louis' help, which is why he came to Louis.

Although Louis is not from the film industry, his boss, Jack Krueger, the president of MSG, is a man of the hour in New York, with great hands and eyes. His recommendation will definitely bring about good results.

But 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 to make slight modifications based on your plan."

The result of Louis' "slight modification" is as follows. Hughes first went to Time Warner to ask for money. If they didn't give it, the shortfall in funds would be made up by him (Louis) personally. Of course, as the financial backer of this work,

One, he had the authority to make a small request to give Lorraine a role in the movie.

Hughes did not expect Louis to be so generous. After all, even he himself did not know how the work would be received after it came out.

The two parties hit it off immediately, but Louis did not expect that his additional investment would eventually reach US$8 million.

Such an amount of investment would have been impossible for him to make five years ago.

Even now, he only has a little over 10 million US dollars in cash. Although he has invested in many projects, they all take time to appreciate. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, he spent 8 million on his wife in a low-cost movie.

I bought a character here.

Everyone thinks he is stupid.

The entertainment section of the New York Times said unceremoniously: "The Knicks' messiah tried to be his own wife's messiah, and he chose a movie with zero hope of success. This will not end well."

Louis smiled and said nothing, his actions moved Lorraine to a complete mess.

Louis, who had already seen the future, did not say much about it. No matter how the media ridiculed him, he did not respond.

Well, maybe you should think about it now. He invested 8 million in a movie with a budget of 18 million US dollars. How much can he earn by then? (The final global box office was 470 million)

Since the suspense of where Ralph Sampson is going has ended early, this year's free market seems to be very depressed.

After all, looking around, the number one free agent besides Sampson is Adrian Dantley. How can this make people excited?

The Chicago Bulls had no harvest and the star players were strongly dissatisfied with the management.

Sir Charles, who has always been outspoken, declared in the nightclub: "If this shit doesn't change, I will change it myself!"

These words were so serious that they made Klaus go crazy and pursue Dantley.

Will anything good happen if a selfish person and an undisciplined person come together?

Louis didn't stop the Bulls from signing Dantley. This was the result he wanted to see.

The Bulls successfully signed Dantley, and some Chicagoans hope that Dantley will become a true mentor and use his own lessons to warn young players.

Dantley may have really done this after retiring, but there are many things that can only be thought about when he gets older.

Regarding the Bulls' move to sign Dantley, Louis had to use the Times's words when commenting on his investment in "Home Alone": "This will not end well."
