Legend of Tomorrow

The Suns signed Serge Ibaka first, and he signed a four-year contract as normal on a rookie contract. In order for him to join the NBA next season, the Suns spent a little buyout money. Since his final year is only partially guaranteed, $1 million will do the trick.

The Suns' second signing was to renew Marcin Gortat. The Warriors, who lacked insiders, offered to poach him for 10 million for three years. Originally, Bryan wanted to let him go directly, so he called Guo Xu and said that he wanted to hear about it. his opinion. Gortat usually likes to please Guo Xu, and he actively participates in dinner parties and group activities initiated by Guo Xu. It would be bad if Guo Xu likes this little brother and sends him away.

Guo Xu thought that Gortat's annual salary was just over 3 million, and even if he was defeated, he would not be able to make other teams cheaper, so he suggested that Bryan match the contract. This signing is a great deal. Although he is just a substitute, it is impossible to sign someone as strong as him at the same price.

Then something very embarrassing happened. Pistons veteran Rasheed Wallace wanted to join the Suns but was turned away, even though he only had a basic salary. There is no place for him in the team, the inside line is too strong.

The Suns' third signing extended the contract of veteran Hill, worth $6 million for two years and everything is good and cheap. Hill's tactics in the playoffs are obviously effective, and he also works hard on the defensive end.

Then, the talent-rich Suns made a trade. They can't do it without trading, and the total number of people has exceeded 15.

Sam Young's performance in the summer league failed to gain recognition from management. He was not mobile fast enough and spent most of his time at power forward in college. The Suns no longer need a short power forward, and it is difficult to allocate playing time.

Jordan's position is also very awkward. His offensive skills are too rough and his defense is not as good as Gasol's. He is only suitable for playing in garbage time to collect statistics. He almost didn't play in the finals.

Trading one person alone won't bring back much good bargaining chips, so Brian simply packaged the two of them and traded cash with the 76ers in exchange for Kyle Korver and next season's first-round pick.

The two-for-one swap also included the highly qualified inside man Jordan. The 76ers had no reason not to make the swap, so they readily agreed. Korver has been in Philadelphia since he entered the league. His contract has one year left to expire. The Suns can choose not to renew his contract next year, or they can keep him.

Korver is suitable for the Suns system. He is good at running, catching and shooting, has accurate three-pointers, and average defense. He is very suitable to be the starting small forward. If Morrow and Roy start together, the defense will not be as good as him.

If Korver is not traded, the Suns will not be able to sign a strong man at a low salary in the free market. The small ball era has arrived early, and players who can shoot three-pointers are more valuable. In Guo Xu's previous life, Vaughn-Weaver, who was forced to go to Europe to pan for gold, was able to do well.

After the transaction,

The Suns' 14-man lineup for the new season has been confirmed, and one spot is reserved for veterans. Whoever Brian thinks has more gimmicks can be signed.

Center: Amare Stoudemire, Marc Gasol, Marcin Gortat.

Power forwards: Udonis Haslem, Paul Millsap, Serge Ibaka.

Small forwards: Grant Hill, Kyle Korver, Gerald Green.

Shooting guards: Anthony Morrow, Brandon Roy.

Point guard: Guo Xu, Kyle Lowry, Goran Dragic.

Guo Xu spent two weeks in Los Angeles to complete his role, and then left the crew to live in a villa with his girlfriend, living a life without shame every day.

They are easily watched when they go out, but they are more comfortable at home on vacation. They can play games when they want and interact first.

Occasionally, they would quarrel over different ideas.

When discussing the selection of new films today, Guo Xu and Megan had completely different ideas.

Meghan said: I have already been nominated for Best Actress once. Maybe I can win the Best Actress award next time. As a Best Actress, let's choose a movie with depth like Chloe that the judges like, and let's act together.

I will never act in that kind of movie again, and the Oscar-winning actress is not important at all. Wouldn't it be better for you to make commercial films down-to-earth? Others want to be actresses just to increase their own status. You are just looking for abuse. . Guo Xu said helplessly.

It's just close. You've won so many awards, why don't I just want to win it once? Megan pouted. At home, her hobby is holding Guo Xu's trophy and giving an Oscar acceptance speech. Unfortunately, she can only do it in YY. No matter how familiar her lines are, she has never had the chance to actually say them on stage.

How can it be so easy to win the Best Actress? Look how long Kate has been waiting for...

Although Guo Xu still remembers several movies that could be nominated for Oscars, he is not optimistic about Megan winning the award. The Oscars have no fewer hidden rules than the NBA, and the judges don't like Meghan.

Movies with main themes and biographies are easy to win awards, but those are not suitable for Meghan. And whether you win or not depends entirely on the public relations and the mood of the judges, and has little to do with the quality of the film.

For example, there is a best picture The Hurt Locker, which is a complete piece of shit. What audience will go to the movie to see that thing and say yes after watching it?

Meghan might win an award if she plays Black Swan. The movie is quite famous, but Guo Xu's company couldn't get the script.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this movie was much more exciting off-screen than on-screen.

The script was originally written by Darren Aronofsky for his wife Rachel Weisz, but Natalie Portman intervened in their marriage, causing Darren to dump Rachel.

After Natalie successfully got the role she wanted, she was not a professional dancer. The heroine's large number of dance scenes inevitably required special dance stand-ins, and the extensive use of stand-ins would seriously affect her chances of winning an Oscar.

After she completed a small part of the dance scenes, she claimed to the public that she had completed most of the dances, and signed a domination contract with the dance double, prohibiting the other party from telling the truth to avoid adverse effects on her Oscar bid. ?

What's even more amazing is that in order not to get involved in the breakdown of Darren and Rachel's marriage and cause a scandal, Natalie decided to find a suitable dater. While filming, she fell in love with Benjamin Millepied, a bisexual choreographer on the set. By doing this, she kills two birds with one stone. If someone criticizes her dance scenes as unprofessional, she will naturally gain the approval of her boyfriend, who is the principal dancer of the New York Ballet. ?

Later, she announced her pregnancy to the public and used filming during pregnancy to gain sympathy. After a lot of hard work, she became an Oscar-winning actress. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before it was revealed that she was using a body double, messing around with men and women, and her character collapsed.

How is this an Oscar challenge? Natalie simply wanted to kill herself in order to become an actress. Even if Meghan could have acted in this film, she would have been nominated at most without the hype.

Apart from this one, Guo Xu doesn’t know what other roles are suitable for Megan. Why don't you try supporting actress? There are trophies anyway, and the Oscar for supporting actress is easier.

Megan turned away and stopped talking. She felt that Guo Xu was looking down on her, an outstanding actress who had been nominated for Best Actress.

In fact, even the supporting actress Megan has a hard time winning. Most of the awards are for literary and artistic films. In Guo Xu's impression, the one that was easier to win was Les Misérables, and Megan couldn't sing well.

Guo Xu couldn't do anything about her and sighed: Let me keep an eye on it for you. When there is a good script, I will take it and let you act in it. Don't accept the script randomly. What you think is good will probably be rubbish.

Megan said coquettishly: Just once, I don't like to spend a long time on the set to hone my acting skills. I just want to prove myself. Once again, I will play the heroine who is competing for the Oscar. No matter whether I win or not, I will accept it.

It's settled, I'll try my best to help you choose.
