NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 142 The dust has settled, Wang Chong joins the Bulls and pursues Jordan's legendary path.

As time goes by, more and more teams are bidding, and the stakes are getting heavier.

Even the Houston Rockets made an offer to the Lakers.

Obviously, the Rockets, who have already tasted the benefits of Dayao, hope to form a combination of Wang Chong and Dayao to further make money in China.

It's just that both Yao and Mai are not for sale by the Rockets. There are no particularly valuable players among the other Rockets players. The bargaining chips they can offer are actually slightly inferior to those of the Cavaliers. Naturally, they are unlikely to be favored by the Lakers. .

More and more teams are entering the game, and fans across the league are becoming curious. Where will Wang Chong go?

The person involved, Wang Chong, was very calm about this. After the playoffs, he started vacation mode.

In early July, the comic book adaptation of the movie Fantastic Four premiered. Wang Chong accompanied his girlfriend, Jessica Alba, one of the stars of Fantastic Four, to attend the premiere. Wang Chong, tall and handsome, wearing a suit and ties, was very photogenic and even outshone him. There are three other male protagonists in the Fantastic Four.

A reporter specifically stopped Wang Chong and asked, "Mr. Wang Chong, your appearance is very outstanding. Have you ever thought about entering the film and television industry in the future?"

This kind of problem is normal. The NBA's top superstars are extremely famous and influential even in the United States. Their popularity determines that even if they have no acting skills at all, as long as they appear in a movie or TV series, even if they are just exposed, With a good face and a few words, you can get a lot of attention.

In fact, there are many examples of NBA stars participating in movies and TV series. The most famous one is "Space Jam" starring Michael Jordan. Later, in order to keep up with Jordan's footsteps, James filmed a "Space Jam" imitating Dong Shi. 2".

But it turns out that what God can do is not something everyone can do.

The global box office of Jordan's "Space Jam" reached 2.3 million. It was a huge profit in that era in 96, ranking ninth in the annual global box office rankings.

James' "Space Jam 2", although the box office of 1.44 million seems to be a lot, but you must know that this movie will be released in 2021. In this era of inflation, the monetary value is far from what it was in 96. What's more important is that the production cost of "Space Jam 2" alone has reached as high as 1.5 million U.S. dollars, plus the later publicity and distribution costs and theater distribution.

After counting all the messy things, James' "Space Jam 2" lost more than million yuan.

Warner Bros. is probably going to regret it, and James will probably be scolded in the office.

"Regardless of your ability on the court, your charisma off the court or your influence, you are not even qualified to carry someone's shoes! Do you still want to touch Jordan?"

Wang Chong is very self-aware. Basketball players and actors are two completely different fields. Without professional acting skills, he can't act well in movies. He will only act badly and embarrass himself.

But if it's a cameo, it doesn't hurt. The most typical example is O'Neal's guest appearance in the comedy movie Scream 4 next year. The opening scene that spoofs Saw is hilarious, especially when O'Neal wakes up and finds that he has been kidnapped. The first sentence was actually "Kobe?". Audiences who knew the story of the OK group would be laughed to death.

Wang Chong has no idea of ​​guest starring in movies for the time being, but his contact with Jessica reminded him of many movies that will be released in the future and will be very popular. Although he will not participate in the movie and disrupt the rhythm of the movie, he can still invest money to earn a fortune. Small money is still good.

Therefore, Wang Chong just smiled slightly when being interviewed by reporters and said: "Maybe, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will seriously consider it."

-

The above are just small episodes.

The focus of people's attention is still Wang Chong's final destination.

After a few more days, the situation began to become clearer.

According to exclusive inside information from a well-known basketball reporter, one team has already begun in-depth communication with the Lakers on the Wang Chong trade issue. Whether a deal can be reached will be known within two days.

At first, some people thought this was just fake news deliberately thrown out by reporters to attract attention.

Unexpectedly, two days later, the Lakers officially issued an announcement.

The Lakers sent Wang Chong and Brian Grant, and acquired guards Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon and center Eddie Curry from the Chicago Bulls, plus a 06 first-round pick.

Once the news was announced, the league was in a state of shock.

I didn't expect that Wang Chong would actually join Chicago, and I didn't expect that the Bulls would pay such a high price to get Wang Chong!

Of the three Bulls players, Hinrich was the seventh overall pick in the first round of the 03 class and the best point guard in the 7 class. In his second season with the Bulls, he already He is able to average 03 points, 15.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Although there is a huge gap compared with the four kings Wang Chong, James, Wade and Anthony, he is still considered to have a high chance of being selected as an All-Star due to his steady performance.

Ben Gordon was the third overall pick in the first round of the 04 class. The 3-04 season was his rookie season. However, Gordon, as a substitute player on the team, won the Best Sixth place with an average of 05 points per game. He became the youngest Sixth Man of the Year in NBA history and has a bright future.

As for Eddie Curry, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 13 kilograms, nicknamed Little Shark, he is also a highly anticipated potential insider in the league. This season he averaged 134 points and 16 rebounds per game for the Bulls.

The above three players are all players that the Lakers want very much.

The Lakers, who have had a great shark, very much hope to get a player with certain lethality in the penalty area, and young shark Eddie Curry is the best candidate.

Atkins' contract expired at the point guard position, and the Lakers did not plan to renew the contract with this point guard in his thirties. They originally planned to put Fisher back into the starting position. Hinrich's arrival just happened to be another blow to the Lakers. Reinforcements at the point guard position.

As for Ben Gordon, although he conflicts with Kobe in terms of position, given that he was very comfortable playing the sixth man role in the Bulls, he can be used as the main substitute for the Lakers, responsible for leading the team to score points when Kobe is off the court.

All three players can become the main force of the Lakers, and they are all very capable in immediate combat. They are also all young and have certain development prospects. Plus a first-round pick next year, it is a huge profit, right?

Moreover, when the Lakers sent Wang Chong away, they also sent away Brian Grant's junk contract.

As one of the bargaining chips for trading O'Neal, Brian Grant's annual salary is as high as 1300 million, and his contract will not expire until the end of the 06-07 season.

This season with the Lakers, Grant averaged only 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, and has been completely reduced to a substitute role player.

With the team's second-largest contract but no work at all, the Lakers management has long been annoyed by it. It is a good thing to have this opportunity to clean out this garbage contract.

For Wang Chong, joining the Bulls is acceptable.

First of all, as a time traveler, he knows very well that the three players traded away by the Bulls as bargaining chips all look good, but they are not the most valuable players in the team.

After sending away three people, the Bulls still have Luol Deng and Tyson Chandler in the lineup. In Wang Chong's view, the value of these two players is higher than the other three, including Ben Gordon. Inside.

Don't look at Ben. Gordon averaged 21.4 points per game in his peak period and had good offensive ability. However, Gordon, who is only 1 meters tall and serves as a shooting guard, has extremely poor confrontation ability and is a typical defensive black hole.

Not to mention Eddie Curry and Hinrich, their upper limit is only qualified starters.

Luol Deng is completely different from Tyson Chandler. Not only did the former average 19+7 per game during his peak period, he was also very good on the defensive end. He is a top forward and wing defender. He was once selected to the All-Defensive Team. He is an offensive and defensive player. All quality players.

As for Tyson Chandler, he is a high-quality interior blue-collar player who will win the Defensive Player of the Year in the future. His ability to protect the basket inside is excellent.

With these two players building the Bulls' defense, and Wang Chong taking charge of the team's offense, the Bulls' lineup only needs a slight adjustment to become a strong team in the league, and even capable of competing for the championship.

This involves another very important issue, the team's trade and draft.

Before deciding to join the Bulls, Wang Chong also communicated with the Bulls management.

The other party showed a courtesy-corporal attitude and showed enough respect for Wang Chong that Bulls general manager John Paxson even called him personally.

"Wang, I hope you can understand that we want to get you, and the purpose is to get a second Michael and revitalize the team, so when you come to Chicago, you will serve as the absolute core, and the entire team will revolve around you. Build it to meet all your requirements as much as possible, including teammates you want to partner with, etc.”

"We have only one request from you, perform like a superstar and win the championship for the team!"

Apart from anything else, this attitude alone makes Wang Chong quite satisfied. It means that the Bulls attach great importance to Wang Chong, and it also means that Wang Chong can participate in the discussion of the team's trade and recruitment work.

This point is very important to Wang Chong.

As a time traveler, Wang Chong knows very well what high-quality players there will be in the next few years, especially those potential players with lower draft picks that can be missed.

But if he wants to win these players, he must have enough say in the team.

When he was with the Lakers, this kind of thing was simply impossible. Even if it was a second-round pick, Lakers general manager Kupchak would not listen to Wang Chong's advice.

But the Bulls are different. In order to please Wang Chong and ensure that Wang Chong will renew his contract with the team after his rookie contract ends, the Bulls will definitely try their best to kneel and lick Wang Chong to ensure that Wang Chong is comfortable and willing to renew for a long time. about bull.

Therefore, since these promises have been given, they will definitely be fulfilled, and the better Wang Chong performs in the following seasons, the better the effect will be.

Last but not least, Chicago is also a metropolis. As the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles, it is absolutely prosperous.

Based on the above reasons, Wang Chong finally decided to go to Chicago and will wear a red jersey and compete for the Bulls next season.

-

"The Kewang combination disintegrated, Wang Chong was traded to Chicago, the Lakers gained three capable players, and the Bulls gained hope."

"Is it worth it? In order to get Wang Chong, the Bulls paid three players with full potential. The lineup that had the fourth record in the Eastern Conference last season with 47 wins and 35 losses was torn into pieces. The addition of Wang Chong can really fill the Bulls' main lineup. Is it missing? Can the Bulls still make the playoffs in the new season?"

"Lakers general manager Kupchak has a clever approach. He sent away Wang Chong but gained three outstanding immediate players. The Lakers will have a complete lineup in the new season, point guard Hinrich, shooting guard Kobe, small forward Caron Butler, power forward Lamar Odom, center Eddie Curry, and the best sixth man Ben Gordon, Derek Fisher, and Chris Mihm on the bench. Wait for the players, their strength will not decrease but will increase!"

After Wang Chong's transaction occurred, the outside world generally believed that it was a win-win transaction.

Both the Bulls and the Lakers got what they wanted, and everyone was happy.

But unlike the Lakers, whose lineup has been fully replenished and can directly enter the new season, the Bulls, who sent away three main players, traded for Wang Chongcai and it was just the first step.

The Bulls, who sent away two defenders, Hinrich and Gordon, are extremely short of defense, and there are no players suitable to be the starting main defender in the new season.

The Bulls management must find a suitable guard candidate in the free market before the start of the new season.

In order to show respect for Wang Chong, the Bulls management specifically asked Wang Chong for his opinion and if he had any recommendations for suitable candidates.

Isn't this a coincidence? I just need a pillow when I'm dozing off.

After Wang Chong decided to join the Bulls, he had already begun to look for suitable players for the Bulls in the free market. He already had a suitable candidate in mind and would give suggestions immediately.

In early August, the Bulls announced that they had reached an agreement with free agent Lagar Bell and signed him to a five-year, 8 million contract.

The deal didn't attract much attention around the league.

5 million for 2500 years, an average of 500 million per year, which is the level of a middle-class contract.

Bell averaged 12.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game with the Jazz last season, shooting 45% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. He also performed well on the defensive end. For the Bulls, who are short of talent at the guard position, he is indeed an opportunity. It's a good signing target. Although the price is a little expensive, it doesn't hurt.

No one knows that Laga Bell will be called Kobe Bryant's Terminator in the future and is famous for his defense in the league. He was selected to the All-Defensive Team for two consecutive years in the 06-07 and 07-08 seasons. He is good at running and gunning. The main force of the Suns' perimeter defense.

Laga Bell, who was supposed to join the Suns two days later for a five-year, $5 million deal, was cut off by the Bulls two days ahead of schedule and for a sum over $2400 million. Even the Suns didn't feel there was anything wrong with this.

Originally, the Suns signed Bell just to fill the vacancy at the shooting guard position after Joe Johnson left the team. Even they did not expect Bell to become the core of the team's perimeter defense.

The Suns, who failed to acquire Bell, only signed another defender with outstanding outside shooting ability.

But Wang Chong, who succeeded in picking up the leak, was overjoyed.

With Bell + Luol Deng on the outside and Tyson Chandler on the inside, what kind of outside defense will the Bulls have in the new season?

But this is only the first step in Wang Chong's signing to strengthen the Bulls.

On August 8, the Bulls made another move, sending forward Andres Nocioni, who averaged 5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season, plus a future second-round pick. They acquired this year's second-round pick Monte from the Golden State Warriors. Tower Ellis.

Monta Ellis, who is 1 meters tall, serves as a guard and meets the Bulls' goal of reinforcement. He is just a little-known second-round pick. Is it worth it?

The Bulls management actually feels it's not worth it.

Nocioni's performance on the Bulls' bench last season was remarkable and his future prospects are good, while Monta Ellis is just a rookie who has just participated in the draft. Whether he can perform well remains to be determined.

It's really not worth giving away a substitute and a second-round pick for such a player.

But Wang Chong took the initiative to ask for Monta Ellis. The reason was that he had watched Ellis' NCAA games and felt that he was very strong, especially his ability to break through with the ball, which could be combined with his mid-to-long-range shooting.

The reasons are well-founded, and the two sides are in the honeymoon period of their recent cooperation. It is impossible for the Bulls not to give Wang Chong this face.

Besides, the price is actually not high. Even if it is to please Wang Chong, it is still worth it.

After the Warriors received the offer, they did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

It's just that they didn't have a suitable choice for Monta Ellis. They were betting on luck and had no hope of selecting any high-quality players.

Moreover, the Warriors are full of talents on the back line, including All-Star point guard Baron Davis and dunk champion Jason Richardson, and they simply did not give Monta Ellis a chance to perform.

In fact, Monta Ellis had almost no playing time in the beginning of the Warriors. It was not until the second half of the 05-06 season that Baron Davis was accidentally injured, which allowed Ellis to start. opportunity and performed reasonably well, thus beginning to attract the attention of the Warriors.

Ellis is still very strong. It only took three seasons for the Warriors to become the absolute core. At his peak, he averaged 25.5 points, 4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. He was once the second-leading shooting guard in the Western Conference after Kobe Bryant. , when Curry first entered the league, he was the boss of a primary school student.

However, due to the limitations of Ellis' skills and his upper limit, he can only become a second-rate star at best, and his existence also affects Curry's growth. Therefore, the Warriors finally chose to trade him away from the team to strengthen Curry. As the core leader of the team.

As a second-round pick, Monta Ellis can definitely be considered a top-notch star, although compared with Nikola Jokic, General Gilbert Arenas, and Dream Green, etc. It's far behind, but the players who came here almost for free, why do they ask for so much?

Wang Chong's move can be regarded as a time lag. If Ellis reports to the Warriors in this way, he may have to pay a higher price if he wants to get him again. If the Warriors are given one more season, it will be discovered that Ellis The Warriors with his potential should cultivate him as the core of the team and will not trade him easily.

Once these two defenders were obtained, Wang Chong was satisfied.

<divclass="contentadv">This is not really playing NBA2K. The Bulls have limited chips. If they want to get some big-name players, leading the team to win the championship in just one or two seasons is a fantasy. Without the team's president, The manager is a fool and will give away his main players for free.

It is enough to use the foresight advantage of Wang Chong as a time traveler to intercept some potential players who will definitely be able to play.

The Bulls, who have won Ellis and Bell, can already form a lineup that Wang Chong thinks is quite good in the new season.

Point guard Monta Ellis, shooting guard Lagar Bell, small forward Luol Deng, power forward Wang Chong, and center Tyson Chandler.

Although Wang Chong will be forced to change his position and move to the power forward position, fortunately, Luol Deng is 2 meters tall and his position on the striker is relatively vague. It is no problem to occasionally play as a power forward.

What's more important is that with blue-collar center Tyson Chandler guarding the basket, and Raja Bell and Luol Deng guarding the perimeter, Wang Chong doesn't need to spend too much energy on defense and can take charge of the offense with peace of mind.

If we have to talk about shortcomings, Wang Chong thinks that the team's tacit understanding is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the strength of the bench is a bit weak, and there is no one like Ben Gordon who can score points from all sides in the bench time. Role.

In any case, as a team formed in the first year, this is enough. Wang Chong is sure to build the Bulls into a championship team within two to three years.

-

After the two signings and transactions, Bulls general manager John Paxson was still a little uneasy. In his opinion, after Wang Chong joined the Bulls, he would definitely have certain requirements for the team's record. With the current team lineup, even if he He didn't even think it was very strong, and he even doubted whether this Bulls team could enter the playoffs in the new season.

So he has been waiting for Wang Chong to make new signing requests, at least with the goal of getting an All-Star player.

However, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't receive a call from Wang Chong. Confused, he couldn't help but call the other party, but he got a shocking reply.

"General Manager, I am very satisfied with the current lineup of the Bulls. I think the team no longer needs to make any transactions to strengthen it. If you feel that the salary space is still sufficient, you can try to select some outstanding players to sign in the free market. , I have no requirements for this.”

Hang up the phone, John Paxson everyone is dumbfounded.

Isn’t this too easy to deal with? The team doesn't have an All-Star, can this satisfy Wang Chong?

But Wang Chong is satisfied, but the team owner may not be satisfied. He successfully returned to the playoffs last season, and after acquiring Wang Chong after the start of the free market, the Bulls' next goal is to make a better run in the playoffs. Far away until we win the championship.

To achieve this goal, the Bulls must have at least two to three, or even more, All-Star players. How can they do it now with only Wang Chong in the team?

But in fact Wang Chong understands bulls.

In order to get Wang Chong, the Bulls had no choice but to take on Brian Grant's 1300 million contract, and the amount of this contract will increase to 1434 million US dollars next season.

At the same time, the Bulls also have a junk contract within their own team, Antonio Davis's contract worth $1393 million.

The Bulls, who have had two junk contracts, will renew Tyson Chandler's contract this summer. The two sides have reached an agreement. The Bulls will use a six-year, 6 million contract to retain Chandler.

As a result, the Bulls have three players with an annual salary of tens of millions, and their salary space is completely occupied.

Thanks to players such as Wang Chong and Luol Deng, they still have cheap rookie contracts. Five million a year for Laga Bell is not particularly expensive. Otherwise, the Bulls would have struggled to put together a complete lineup, let alone sign a contract. Signed up.

The good news is that the Bulls' two junk contracts will expire in 06 and 07, but the bad news is that Wang Chong's rookie contract expires in 07. With the strength he has shown so far, there is no need to think that he will definitely be the top player. Salary renewal, starting at least 1500 million.

Therefore, it is not as easy as imagined to trade for big-name stars.

As a result, the Bulls were unable to make any big moves in the end. They just signed a few unknown players with minimum salary contracts to fill the bench.

The Bulls, who have never made any big moves, are beginning to lose interest in signing Wang Chong.

Wang Chong is indeed a very outstanding player with full potential, but so what?

There are more than one or two players in the league who are better than Wang Chong.

Not to mention, there are several teams in the Eastern Conference that are single-core leaders, such as Iverson of the 76ers and James of the Cavaliers. The situation is very different from Wang Chongdu.

But the result? James' Cavaliers missed the playoffs for two consecutive years. Iverson averaged 30.7 points per game and led the scoring team, allowing the 76ers to enter the playoffs with seventh place in the Eastern Conference and were defeated by the Pistons 4:1 in the first round. Sweep.

Wang Chong may be better than James, but if he is said to be better than Iverson, no one will believe it.

At this time, Iverson's condition has not declined significantly, but he is still one of the best shooting guards in the league and the only shooting guard among active players who has won the regular season MVP.

Wang Chong is just a second-year rookie, and there is still a big gap between him and Iverson in terms of strength and position.

Moreover, although the 76ers are said to be single-core, they actually traded for a former All-Star player, Chris Webber, in the middle of the season. Even though Webber was already 31 years old at this time and his condition has declined significantly due to injuries, but in In the playoffs, he also averaged 76 points and 19 rebounds per game for the 5.8ers, so he could barely be considered a half-helper.

The Bulls do not have such a helper at this stage. In addition to Wang Chong, whom the Bulls acquired in the new trade, the best performer on the team is the 11.7 rookie Luol Deng, who averages 5.3 points and 04 rebounds per game. In addition, he has 8 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Blue-collar player Tyson Chandler rebounds.

Chicago fans were highly anticipated from the beginning, but now are slightly disappointed.

"What is the Bulls management doing? If they don't take advantage of the opportunity to get Wang Chong to adjust the team's lineup and try to make a further impact in the second round of the playoffs next season, then this is the plan? Are you going to mess with the draft picks? The problem is that next year’s draft picks have already been traded to the Lakers as bargaining chips, so messing with them has to be useful!"

The offseason is not over yet, but most people are already pessimistic about the Bulls' prospects for the new season.

"Wang Chong, who was not satisfied with the status quo and did not want to be like Pippen next to Kobe, chose to leave Los Angeles. It is still unclear whether his choice was correct, but at least one thing is certain, that is, next season, Wang Chong will have no one by his side. With top scorers like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant leading the team alone."

"He will become a target for opponents on the field. While serving as the leader of a team, he also has to carry the entire team on his shoulders. Can Wang Chong, who is only in the third year of his career, be able to shoulder this important task? , now there is still a question mark.”

When many media were talking about Wang Chong and the Bulls, Wang Chong had already arrived in Chicago accompanied by his agent. On the one hand, he was looking for a place to live, and on the other hand, Wang Chong was planning to rent a training facility to stay in Chicago during the offseason. Train seriously for a while.

The media is right about one thing. After leaving Kobe, Wang Chong will become the main target of the opponent's defense in future games, and the pressure on the offensive end will be much greater than when he was with the Lakers.

Although Wang Chong already has an overall rating of 94, he still feels a little bit pressured, so he wants to take advantage of the offseason to work hard. After all, he has been relying on the system to cheat, and he himself will feel guilty.

For Wang Chong at this stage, training does not increase his ability value very much, but it is definitely not useless. Some items with low basic ability values ​​can still be improved to a certain extent if he carries out some special assault training.

The role of the broker is reflected at this time.

Wang Chong's agent is also the agent of Wade and Bosh, named Henry Thomas. In terms of business ability, Thomas is mediocre and has a relatively short-sightedness. He negotiated Wade's first sneaker contract. 50 per year...well, let's not mention it.

However, many of the well-known and capable agents in the league are relatively powerful and their commissions are relatively high. In comparison, Wang Chong still gets along relatively harmoniously with Thomas.

Moreover, the so-called resources of agents are actually of little significance to truly powerful NBA stars.

After all, the NBA is not Hollywood. What matters on the court is strength. Only by producing luxurious statistics can you have enough exposure and various commercial endorsements will continue to flow.

If a player is unknown, no matter how talented the agent is, there is nothing he can do.

As for the five-year, $5 million contract Tristan Thompson's agent Rich Paul secured for him that was completely inconsistent with his strength, is it really Rich Paul's credit? It's clear that Rich Paul is using James' influence on the Cavaliers to act like a fake but a mighty one.

The Cavaliers did not dare to disobey James, so they could only be forced to submit and act as the enemy.

Of course, agents are not without merit. For the vast majority of NBA players, they have little education and lack of knowledge. They need such a professional to help them provide some advice.

Wang Chong is different. Wang Chong, who traveled from 2023 to 05, is an old understanding brother. He has already planned his career early on and does not need anyone to give him advice.

When the sneaker contract was signed, Thomas was already very satisfied with Nike's offer at that time, but Wang Chong refused without hesitation, and after waiting for a year, he doubled the contract amount several times.

In Wang Chong's concept, hiring an agent is more like hiring an assistant.

Thomas's job is to carefully check whether there are any problems with the contract when signing it. Then, when Wang Chong has some other arrangements, he also needs to be responsible for coordination.

In this regard, Thomas has done a good job, after all, he is a professional agent.

Before Wang Chong arrived in Chicago, Thomas had already arrived in Chicago, helped Wang Chong contact the rental of the stadium, and hired professional trainers to assist Wang Chong in training.

Even where to live, Thomas selected a few houses in an area relatively close to the United Center, the home of the Bulls, based on Wang Chong's request, and made reservations for viewing times.

Wang Chong didn't put any thought into all these arrangements. On the day he arrived in Chicago, he decided to buy a villa worth US$300 million. It was fully furnished and ready to move in on the same day.

Lying comfortably on the leather sofa of the mansion, Wang Chong just felt happy.

Although it can't be compared with the famous Villa No. 2900 in Chicago worth 23 million by Gang Leader Qiao, the experience is still quite good.

I have to admit, it’s great to have money!

However, 300 million is still not a small amount for Wang Chong now.

As a rookie in the 03 class, Wang Chong's four-year rookie contract annual salary is only about 150 million.

After deducting various taxes, I got less than 100 million.

As for his seven-year 7 million contract with Adidas, the first year has just been fulfilled. The 9000 million also needs to pay taxes, and he has received more than 1285 million.

In addition to the sneaker contract, Wang Chong has also endorsed some other products, most of which are commercial endorsements from China. However, compared to the sneaker contract, these can only be regarded as trivial. Added together, the total is less than 300 million. .

In fact, this is not too low. After all, it was 2005, and domestic development was far less developed than later. According to the exchange rate in 300, 05 million U.S. dollars was 2400 million Chinese national currency, which was definitely comparable to the level of a top star.

To sum up, with all the messy income added up, Wang Chong's current savings total only more than 1300 million. This luxury house cost him % of his assets at once. To be honest, it still hurts his heart.

However, Wang Chong himself knows very well that the money he can earn in the future will be much more than this.

Not to mention anything else, after the rookie contract ends, his contract extension will be at least more than 1500 million.

If you have money, don't spend it, you bastard. If you make money, you should use it for enjoyment. As long as you ensure that the most painful thing in life - if you are alive and the money is gone, this kind of tragedy will not happen, then it doesn't matter.

Moreover, Wang Chong also has his own investment and money-making plan.

The tentative decision is still about movies.

Jessica Alba reminded him of some of the movies that will be big hits in the future, and Wang Chong already has preliminary ideas about investing in them.

At present, what he recalled and impressed the most was the Marvel series of movies. In addition, there was another series of works that Wang Chong remembered not long ago.

The name of this series is "Transformers".

"Transformers" directed by Michael Bay was released in 2007, with a global box office of 7.09 million U.S. dollars. The creative team made a lot of money, and it also spawned a series of sequels. Until 23 years after Wang Chong time traveled, it was still There's a new Transformers movie coming out.

The reason why Wang Chong thought of this movie was also attributed to Jessica Alba. Just a few days ago, the two of them were watching Sin City at home. Watching the charming Jessica in the movie, Wang Chong couldn't help but He resisted and immediately asked Jessica to perform a pole dance for him on the spot. The other party played with her slender waist and was graceful, but Wang Chong instantly thought of another classic film and television scene.

Megan Fox's sexy and voluptuous waist when lifting the hood of the car in Transformers.

(There must be a picture here)

It is not a good thing to suddenly think of other women while playing a small game with his girlfriend. However, the first time this picture appeared in Wang Chong's mind, what came to mind was what would be the effect if Jessica Alba played this role?

When it comes to body, Jessica Alba is not inferior to Megan Fox at all, but when it comes to face, there is no comparison.

The heroine played by Megan Fox in Transformers has no acting skills to speak of, but thanks to this movie, she has become the dream goddess of thousands of men.

Wang Chong immediately thought of investing in Transformers, and then asked Jessica Alba to look at the heroine.

Now that you have the sexiest and most beautiful woman in the world, how can you feel a sense of accomplishment if you don't show it off to the world?

The filming of Transformers will take place in June next year, and auditions for the actors are expected to begin at the end of this year.

In fact, the script and director of the film have now been finalized and funds are being raised.

At the end of August, Wang Chong successfully contacted DreamWorks, the producer of Transformers, through Jessica's connections in the film and television industry, expressing his willingness to invest 8 million in the film.

While the producers were surprised why Wang Chong, a player, wanted to cross-border investment in a movie, they agreed without hesitation.

Although Transformers is a big production and the production cost of the movie alone is as high as 1.3 million, anyone who doesn’t want the money is a fool!

The more investors there are, the lower the investment risk will be. Moreover, comic book movies have always been a bottomless pit, especially characters created by Transformers, which mainly sell children's toys. Most people will be attracted to it just by hearing about it. I think this movie will be a disaster.

Of course, everything is easy to say if you make money, but once the box office of a movie fails to meet expectations, investors may lose all their money.

Therefore, after making the decision to film Transformers, even DreamWorks had to cooperate with the film giant Paramount to raise funds before it dared to film.

Moreover, Wang Chong’s investment of 1000 million is not too small. You must know that the cost of filming Transformers 1 was only 1.3 million.

Of course, investing in a movie is not that simple. You also need to sign a contract and agree on the share ratio. Wang Chong left all these messy things to his agent Thomas.

When they learned that Wang Chong had made such a mistake, everyone in Thomas was dumbfounded.

I am an NBA player agent, but I also need to help my employer with contracts in other areas? Is this too difficult for me?

What makes him even more incomprehensible is where did Wang Chong get the courage to actually dare to spend tens of millions to invest in movies. Isn't he afraid of losing money? Every year, there are many movies in Hollywood that make a lot of money, but at the same time, there are also more movies that lose all their money.

However, the money belongs to Wang Chong. The most he can do as an agent is to make suggestions. Wang Chong is resolute. He can only act as an agent to help Wang Chong improve the contract as much as possible and pave the way to avoid pitfalls. That's all. .
