Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 579 [National Treasure, Gimmick]
In August, the only operation of the Suns management was to renew the contract of little bully Amare Stoudemire in advance with a five-year maximum salary of 73 million.
No one is surprised by this. Last season, Stoudemire became the first spokesman for the NBA's Brutalists. Compared with his scoring ability, explosive power, and offensive enjoyment, even Rain Man Kemp in the 1990s was slightly inferior.
Stoudemire has become the NBA's leading inside star. Many media said that his contract, like Guo Xu's, still falls into the category of low salary and high energy.
Happy Waters had already settled an account with Stoudemire. He renewed his contract in advance until 2006. He was only 29 years old in 2011. There is a high chance that he will sign another big contract. If he becomes a free agent at the age of 30, It’s hard for people to sign high-paying, long-term contracts.
Stoudemire can also choose to get out of his contract in 2010, when he is 28 years old. There will definitely be more teams willing to give him a maximum salary. Whether he stays or leaves, he can make a lot of money. In addition, he received many advertising endorsements and entered the ranks of wealthy players early.
Bryan also offered Nene a five-year, $50 million early contract extension with an average annual salary of 10 million. Nene listened to his agent and refused to accept it, even though he played as a substitute for most of the time in the team.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Nene did not accept the Nuggets' early contract extension. In 2006, he signed a six-year long-term contract with a high salary of 60 million yuan, and it was on the premise of being reimbursed for the season.
In his previous life, Nene played only 3 minutes for the team in the 2005-06 season before being reimbursed due to injury. When he signed the big contract, he was still undergoing recovery training. In the 2004-05 season, he also missed 27 games due to injury.
The data in this life are average, but they are healthier than in the previous life. His biggest advantage is his youth, and he has fully demonstrated his amazing athletic ability. Many teams are willing to bet on his talent. If he doesn't renew his contract in advance, it will be difficult for the Suns to retain him.
In fact, Nene no longer wants to stay in the Suns. He already holds two championship rings. If he wins another championship, it will be three. There will be no shortage of team honors in this life. But he is only a rotation player in the team, and he was picked higher in the draft. He doesn't want to be a substitute for Stoudemire for the rest of his life.
In August, there was only one big trade in the league, between the Knicks and Bulls.
The Bulls sent Baby Shark Eddie Curry and veteran Anthony Davis to the Knicks for power forward Tim Thomas, forward Michael Sweetney and guard Jermaine Jackson.
It looked like the Bulls were losing money and the manager was going crazy. In fact, they didn't pay much and certainly didn't get anything.
Baby Shark is a high-paid, low-powered center with extremely poor defense. His fat content is seriously over the standard. Not only is he slow in movement and unable to defend pick-and-rolls, he is even too lazy to get in position to grab rebounds, and he doesn't even care about statistics.
This fat man, who is 213cm tall and weighs 134kg, averaged 28.7 minutes per game last season, scoring 16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists. What is this concept? A big man who is a little more active in grabbing rebounds, even if he doesn't get stuck and only picks up rebounds near the penalty area, his rebound efficiency is not as good as that of some swingmen.
However, Knicks manager Isiah Thomas regarded Curry as a treasure and signed and then traded with the Bulls, offering him a 6-year, 56 million contract.
If Curry gets this contract in 2018, it will definitely be a bargain, but in this era, he can be selected for the top ten garbage contracts in league history.
In September, Guo Xu returned to Phoenix after his vacation to recharge his batteries and wait for the start of the new season. He did not practice football. Although he was physically strong, he was very tired mentally.
When he was in Los Angeles, he completed the dubbing for the movie Kung Fu Panda. It was much harder than he imagined. Even with the guidance of professional dubbing actors, he still felt that he was overwhelmed.
Before doing this, Guo Xu had always taken it for granted that the sound was added after the animation was completed. In fact, modern Hollywood animation studios already have a mature workflow to ensure that costs are controlled as much as possible.
All the major studios follow the same approach. They have a storyline first, then a script, and then storyboards (film and television shots).
Ordinary live-action movies will also create storyboards to express the plot of the script, but after the animation storyboard is created, it will basically not change significantly. The painter will complete the creation based on the storyboard.
Next, the director will play the storyboard frame by frame according to the lines of the script to estimate the completion time of the film. At this time, it is time to find actors to dub. The actors will complete the dubbing of all lines according to the storyboard in the recording studio. Why dub it first? Because animated characters are easy to lip-sync.
Next, there are professional steps such as completing the character image, modeling, rendering, etc., which are particularly troublesome, and finally synthesizing a complete animation. The creation of an animated film often takes several years and many people to complete, so it is very expensive.
If someone asks What is China's national treasure? any Chinese person will answer Panda in unison. This is a lovely business card of China to the world.
Guo Xu wanted to leave a deep impression on Chinese movie fans, so he decided to dub the panda Po. It was agreed that he would do the dubbing for both the Chinese and English versions.
It happened that during the early dubbing, Guo Xu was in the middle of the NBA season and had no time to fly around to away games, and a group of people couldn't wait for him. So the other characters were dubbed before animation, but Guo Xu did the dubbing alone afterwards, without following the customary process.
He was very confident at the time. He had seen the English and Chinese versions of the original Kung Fu Panda in his previous life and had an impression of the sound. How difficult could it be? It turned out to be really difficult, because he had to try his best to lip-sync, speak naturally, and have a tone that matched the plot. He had to match a sentence many times before he could pass it.
The final revamped version of Kung Fu Panda seems to Guo Xu to be less interesting. This is his nightmare!
Robert, the other voice actor, contacted several acquaintances, and Megan voiced the new character Ahri, who is Po's childhood sweetheart.
Jason Statham voices the South China Tiger Senior Brother, which is different from the original Hu Niu setting. The Senior Brother likes to be handsome and cool, and is a bit arrogant, but he is a funny guy at heart.
Dustin Hoffman voices the master's Grumpy Cat, which is the image of Guo Xu's puppet Bucky, who looks unhappy all day long.
Brother Jackie Chan dubbed the golden monkey. Guo Xu and Chinese movie stars in Hollywood have met him, and Jackie Chan is willing to join in the fun.
It was too easy for the Suns to win the championship last season, and Guo Xu was inevitably a little inflated. He felt that as long as he maintained the style of play last season and the team did not suffer from injuries in the new season, it would be easy to build a dynasty with three consecutive championships.
He doesn't need to put in a lot of effort. He even needs to put some slack when playing against weak teams in the regular season, and just focus more on organization.
Precisely because he believes in his current teammates, Guo Xu insists that the management does not want to sign any players and leaves that spot empty. This makes the Suns the most unique defending champion team in NBA history.
Stoudemire will still have a rookie contract next season and his annual salary is not high. Even if the salaries of Guo Xu and Marion increase year by year, the Suns are the second lowest salary team in the league, only higher than the Bobcats. This is a terrifying gimmick.
The Phoenix media took the trouble to interview everyone and wanted to know if the Suns would make any big deal.
Guo Xu gave a clear answer: There will be no big trades. I like to play side by side with teammates who have been well-integrated, rather than frequently changing the lineup. The veterans Gary (Payton) and Toni (Kukoc) are enough. Yes, we will be the strongest team in the new season.”
With Joe Johnson leaving, aren't you worried about failing to defend your title? the reporter asked.
No team can beat the Suns.
