Yang Rui commented on the game, ate and drank merry, and soon came February 2004, when All-Star Weekend was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The alliance has begun to show a pattern of strong east and weak west. The Lakers are at the bottom of the record, Kobe Bryant is still the starting All-Star in the West, and the other four players are Byron Davis, Garnett, Duncan, and O'Neal Jr.

Kobe Bryant's popularity has also declined, he was the league's top vote last season, and this time he didn't have as many votes in the West as Duncan.

Thunderingly, Warriors center Eric Dampier was named an All-Star. As soon as O'Neal left, Brad Miller didn't come, and there was no good center left in the West. At this time, Dampier, who averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds per game, was particularly eye-catching.

The eastern star is gathered, and Yao Ming was not selected as an All-Star because of poor data.

Larry Brown is a stubborn old man, Yang Rui satirizes him, the media criticizes him, everyone thinks that Yao should be reused, and under heavy pressure, he has a temper instead.

The old man just doesn't need Yao Ming, you bite me?

As a result, the Knicks ranked fifth in the East with a mediocre record, and only Ben Wallace was selected as an All-Star.

Even more shocking than Dampier's All-Star selection was that Ben Wallace became the Eastern Conference star starter. He received a total of 1982251 votes, and "Big Shark" O'Neill only had more than 1.4 million votes and was forced to substitute. The two job hops also caused O'Neal's popularity to drop sharply.

Fans recognized that Daben was the best defensive player, Yao Ming was a parallel import, and Yang Rui was upset about Yao Ming, and he didn't reverse his impression.

The other four players who started in the East: Iverson, Maddy, Carter, and Brand.

Carter is once again the ticket leader, and the Raptors have rebounded this season to finish sixth in the East.

The biggest beneficiaries of the butterfly effect are Carmelo Anthony, Kirilenko is in the Raptors, Francis is also in the Eastern Hornets, and the West is short of stars on the outside. Anthony was named an All-Star in his rookie season, and Hamilton was also named to the alternate team.

Yao Ming represented the sophomore in the rookie game and arrived in Los Angeles. He wasn't interested at all, but the league mandated it.

Yang Rui called Yao Ming to be a guest at home, and proposed: "Don't listen to Larry Brown's SB arrangement next, usually practice high-post mid-range shooting and mid-court three-point shooting, and force the palace team in the summer, be domineering, you just say that if you don't trade, you will go back to China, and you can scold Brown directly, I will determine which team to go to, and I will trade you over." ”

"Really?" With this assurance, Yao Ming was in a much better mood.

"I believe you have what it takes to be an All-Star, listen to me, don't gain weight, practice shooting while maintaining mobility, and if you can practice passing, it's better, as long as these points are done well, we'll hit Brown and Knicks in the face together." Yang Rui is not talking empty words, he is already planning to bring Yao Ming.

Yao Ming, who has just been elected as the champion, is worth a lot of money, and the Knicks will definitely not change him, he has played as a substitute for two consecutive years, the data is ugly, and his value has dropped. As long as you put up enough chips, you will definitely be able to impress the Knicks.

"Forcing the palace...... Will it work? Yao Ming smiled bitterly, he had never done such a thing, and the United States was not his home turf.

Yang Rui smiled: "Of course, you don't have to think about giving Brown face, Americans like personality, domineering people, don't like honest players, if you want to be a star, you should learn to be cruel." ”

Yao Ming carries the hopes of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, but he can't be a substitute in the NBA for the rest of his life. At Yang Rui's house, he called his agent and prepared to force the palace. They won't talk about working with Yang Rui, which will only make the transaction more difficult.

Yang Rui is still waiting, and Lakers owner Jerry Buss has not contacted him until now, so he is very calm.

Yang Rui and the Wizards have contradictions, and the negative impact is two-way, and many people feel that his behavior is too domineering.

Old Bass is also an older boss, and if Yang Rui falls out with the Lakers in the future, he can't stand the excitement. He has now added Jim Bass and Jeanie Bass to the management work, preparing for the handover of power. What he was worried about was that the two would not be able to control Yang Rui in the future, and even clashed, so he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Old Bass's idea is not unfounded, because Yang Ruida looks down on Old Bass's children in his heart, and the prerequisite for him to join the Lakers is that until 2011, this team is Old Bass has the final say, until he is not healthy, and Bass Jr. began to point fingers.

The Lakers under the management of the old Buss have basically been an aristocratic team for more than 30 years, although there are troughs, but the reconstruction can be completed in a year or two, after the death of the old Buss, the Lakers quickly degenerated, and his descendants have been at the bottom of the team with difficulty. At the point in time that Yang Rui crossed, the Lakers were still a hopelessly bad team, and they couldn't get results with money.

Yang Rui is not in a hurry, because he has a lot of options, and before that, the Cavaliers, Kings, and Warriors management have already contacted his agent.

In the rookie game, "Little Emperor" James and "Little Overlord" Stadameyer became the focus, and the two staged wonderful dunks several times. In the end, the sophomore won, and Stoudamire was voted the MVP of the rookie game.

The stars were one-sided in the game, and the East team defeated the West 143-122, and O'Neal came off the bench to score 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and was elected MVP.

Yang Rui was present to watch the game, and as a guest commentator on TNT Radio, he commented on the rookie game and the star game.

At the end of February, Stanna Cartick was invited to the Oscars, and Yang Rui walked the red carpet with her as a male companion.

"Lost in Translation" was nominated for four Oscars, director and screenwriter Sofia Coppola won Best Original Screenplay, and three other awards for Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Director.

Stanna's acting skills were not appreciated by the Oscar judges. She doesn't have much ambition, she didn't want to become a movie queen, and she is content to have a commercial film.

At the beginning of March, the crew of "Female Spy" was properly arranged and officially started filming, and the young director Jack Kasdan, who directed the high-reputation comedy "Freaks and Nerds" in 1999, was hired to guide him.

In Yang Rui's previous life, "Female Spy" was directed by Paul Feige, and now it is ten years earlier, Feige is still working as a screenwriter and actor, and only works as an assistant to Kasdan in "Freaks and Nerds", and the two have similar shooting techniques.

The investment in this film will definitely be controlled at about 40 million in the end, and the only person with a higher salary is Stana Kartick, after acting in two blockbuster movies, her worth has increased, and $3 million to play an average female villain is not low.

This is also normal, now the salary of Hollywood actresses is generally not too high, Charlize Theron, who became the actress, took over the filming of "Magic Woman Warrior", and the salary was only 10 million, which is already the highest salary in her career.

Chow Yun-fat is rumored to have received a salary of 13 million for filming "Bulletproof Monk", and a salary of five or six million when filming "Anna and the King", and now he has taken over "Female Spy" at a price of 500,000 cabbage. He can only accept it, and after reading the script, he wants to turn over with this.

According to the unspoken rules of Hollywood, no one will ask Chow Yun-fat to film with a high salary in the short term, and he will have to wait until his worth drops.

The salaries of the heroine Scarlett and the second male Matt Bomo are only 300,000 and 200,000, pure newcomer prices, even if Scarlett is an acquaintance, she has to follow the rules and cannot disrupt the market.

Even so, Scarlett's mother Melanie and father Carsten were very grateful to Yang Rui, and went to Los Angeles to meet Yang Rui and send gifts to express their gratitude.

When they ate together, they were full of emotion: "Our fat man will be entrusted to you in the future".
