"Zhuang, you've been doing too much lately"

In Zhuang Fei's home in the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei's agent Chris said to Zhuang Fei helplessly, since he came to Zhuang Fei from Paul Allen, this excellent manager has not stayed at home for a long time, not in the UK to deal with the affairs of the football club and fly back to the United States to deal with Zhuang Fei's personal financial affairs, in fact, Zhuang Fei now has a team of agents, but Chris is usually not at ease with these people, and he needs to personally inquire about many things, which makes this serious personal assistant extremely busy. [. YZUU POINT]

Especially the recent incident of Zhuang Fei is really worrying, and he has to go everywhere to contact those companies and individuals who have interests with Zhuang Fei, and even came back from the Coca-Cola headquarters today.

"Hehe, Chris, thank you for your hard work" Zhuang Fei smiled and thanked, since Chris came, Zhuang Fei found that he is indeed a lot of worry now, and he couldn't do many things single-handedly before, so Zhuang Fei gave up making money and focused on basketball, but after Chris came, Zhuang Fei could completely hand over the economic affairs to this excellent manager, and this manager is really powerful, just the endorsement fee This assistant can bring Zhuang Fei more than 10 million US dollars per year. The most important thing is that under the premise of making so much extra money, Zhuang Fei did not affect his own work in the slightest, which is why Zhuang Fei attaches great importance to this assistant, and his overall coordination ability is quite good.

"Zhuang, do you agree with Coca-Cola and Warners' proposals? I think the conditions they gave are very good" Facing Zhuang Fei's grateful gaze, Chris also felt warm in his heart, and then said to Zhuang Fei: "You should also look at this script." If there are no problems then I suggest you take it"

Zhuang Fei looked at Chris with a serious face and fell into deep thought, this year is the last year of Zhuang Fei's contract with Coca-Cola, and now Coca-Cola has sent the contract, the last contract Zhuang Fei was able to get 5 million US dollars per year, which is already a top contract, but this time, the price of Coca-Cola is 10 million per year. directly doubled, and the so-called 'Coca-Cola and Warner's proposal' that Chris said was Zhuang Fei's filming of the sequel to 'La Dolce Vita'.

La Dolce Vita is a one-step advertising movie, which is something known all over the world. So for this movie, neither Coca-Cola nor Warner considered the so-called box office, for them, this movie was not originally produced for the box office, but to everyone's surprise, this movie almost became a flood beast after its national release in the United States on January 1, 2001. (Read the novel to the leaves・Yo~Yo.YZuU.) Crazy swept the box office in various places in the United States, and it was only a short month. The North American box office reached 350 million US dollars, according to the expectations of all box office experts, the final box office of this film in North America will reach about 400 million US dollars, you must know that the air slam dunk led by Jordan was only 200 million US dollars at the box office, and more importantly, compared with the air slam dunk, this sweet life is more inspirational and has an excellent reputation, this movie has now been shortlisted for 9 Oscar awards, and even Zhuang Fei is now shortlisted for Best Actor at the Oscars held on February 13.

It can be said that it is an extremely successful film, and many people have benefited from this movie. Zhuang Fei has gained unimaginable fame, and now Zhuang Fei will be surrounded by a large number of fans even if he goes to any away game, these people are not his fans, and the heroine of the film, Zhuang Fei's girlfriend Scarlett, has also gained fame, and has been promoted from a fourth-rate young Hollywood actress to a third-rate actress. As for the director of this film, Petka is also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Director for the first time. But the most important thing is that during the release of this movie, Coca-Cola's sales rose by 35%, which is an astronomical figure, and Coca-Cola's competitor Pepsi was simply overwhelmed in the course of a month. …,

How could such a movie not make a sequel?

However, Zhuang Fei is hesitating now, for him personally, he does not want to leave his precious summer in Los Angeles to make movies. This work is just his hobby, just play the ticket once, Zhuang Fei has been extremely hard in the past two years, especially before last year's Olympic Games, the pain of catching up with the show makes Zhuang Fei unforgettable.

Zhuang Fei doesn't want to film now, but he can't directly refuse the kindness of Coca-Cola and Warner, Coca-Cola said that as long as Zhuang Fei is willing to make a sequel, then the renewal contract will be directly increased by 50%, that is, the contract will be renewed at a price of 15 million US dollars per year, which is the largest contract in the history of Coca-Cola, which is twice as high as the 8 million per year sent by Pepsi not long ago, and Warner promised Zhuang Fei that as long as Zhuang Fei is willing to make a sequel, The heroine of this movie will still be Scarlett, and Warner will also praise Scarlett in the future, this kind of temptation and sincerity Zhuang Fei is really hard to refuse.

Chris is now sitting opposite Zhuang Fei and looking at Zhuang Fei quietly, it can be said that he also knows Zhuang Fei's hesitation, and Zhuang Fei has been with him for most of the half a year, he understands Zhuang Fei's character very well, Zhuang Fei is a very conservative person who is not too lively and does not like to stand out, it can be said that he is now known to the outside world. Crazy Coach Z are two completely different personalities, but the most competent manager must bring the best interests to his clients, and he can choose to ignore other things, and in Chris's opinion, Zhuang Fei promised this series of contracts that would allow him to earn a lot more dollars a year. [. YZUU point] He desperately hoped that Zhuang Fei would agree.

Just after Chris looked at Zhuang Fei and was silent for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Chris, I still agree," Zhuang Fei said with a final sigh, and Chris was also slightly relieved after hearing Zhuang Fei's answer. Then he said with a smile.

"Zhuang, this is the contract for the sequel to Sweet Life, I've watched it, there is no problem, the salary is 20 million US dollars, congratulations on entering the Hollywood 20 million club" Chris looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile, and Zhuang Fei smiled helplessly, Chris looked at Zhuang Fei with a somewhat depressed expression and continued: "And the share of this movie has also become a fixed 10% share, if the sequel can get the same box office as the first one, you will get at least 100 million US dollars"

"A $100 million share?" Zhuang Fei looked at Chris stunned. Hollywood money is so easy to make? Zhuang Fei remembered that he had a 5% share when he was filming the first part.

"Zhuang, you don't have to get me wrong, even in Hollywood, you are the only one who has such conditions" Chris saw Zhuang Fei's doubts and then said: "By the way, now the box office of Sweet Life in North America is 350 million, and it is a matter of time before it breaks through 400 million, plus the worldwide release and the sales of movie DVDs, if nothing else, it won't be long before you have another $50 million in your bank account" Chris looked at with a smile after speaking

Zhuang Fei. He himself is now amazed by Zhuang Fei's ability to attract money, this basketball coach is too strong, even Paul Allen may not be richer than this guy. Of course. This money is talking about cash, and most of Allen's money is stocks, and there is not much cash.

"Huh. If the money does arrive, I'll leave it to you to help me invest, Chris, what investment is the most profitable? Zhuang Fei said with some pride, for him now, money is already a symbol.

"Futures investment is the most profitable, but it is also the most risky, your 50 million thrown into it may become 500 million or 5 US dollars" Chris was slightly stunned after seeing Zhuang Fei's inquiring eyes, and then said with a smile. In his opinion, investors like Zhuang Fei are mainly for value preservation and will not take risks to play futures.

But what makes Chris very depressed is that his employer is really interested in futures, and he has been asking about futures investment since then. …,

"Hehe, Chris, I've decided. I will save the 50 million US dollars first, and then I will go to the futures market to play after I have the opportunity to save more money" Zhuang Fei squinted his eyes and said to Chris, Zhuang Fei remembered the war after that, this can definitely make money, and this is the time to save capital.

Hearing his employer say this about Chris was also quite helpless. He also knows the character of his employer, and he probably can't persuade him.

"By the way, Zhuang, I heard that Warner has been in public relations Hollywood recently, they want you to be the best actor" Chris thought of something when he was in Coca-Cola just now, and hurriedly said to Zhuang Fei, after Chris finished speaking, Zhuang Fei, who was still dreaming of making a fortune just now, was directly blinded.

Winner? Best Actor. What international jokes?

"Zhuang, you don't have to worry too much, in fact, every candidate will have public relations, but you don't have too many expectations" Chris looked at Zhuang Fei deeply and said.

"I know, I never expected this thing" Zhuang Fei smiled calmly, and Chris also smiled slightly when he saw this.

When Chris left, Zhuang Fei read the script at home alone, and this script was naturally the second part of Sweet Life.

After winning the girls' high school championship, the protagonist was invited to serve as the head coach of the NCAA's down-and-out giants Wake Forest's Devils Deacons, in this depraved and declining NCAA team, the protagonist led five NCAA players who were considered to have no career prospects, and finally led Wake Forest back to the top of the NCAA in their senior year.

For Zhuang Fei, the second part of the sweet life is much inferior to the first part, the first part has tears and laughter, friendship, master-apprentice love and love, it is a very plump movie, very inspirational, but the second part is mainly bloody, basically reduced to a commercial film sequel.

However, Zhuang Fei didn't care too much about the script, and after closing the script, Zhuang Fei just sighed, the movie is not his homepage after all, since it is a ticket, there is no need to be too serious...... Since defeating the Lakers in the battle of the century on January 1, the Timberwolves have entered their winning streak for the third time this season, the first consecutive win of the Timberwolves is 10 times, the second consecutive win is 15 times, and this streak has reached 17 times on February 1, and now the Timberwolves have a record of 42 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the West and the league, while the Lakers' record is 41 wins and 3 losses, these two teams are like biting each other and not losing, At this time, the Grizzlies, who are third in the West, have been a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and the current Grizzlies record is 37-7, which is also an excellent record, but it is much inferior to the current Timberwolves Lakers.

When the NBA schedule is more than halfway through, everyone knows that this season's NBA is still a drama between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, and the current record between the Timberwolves and the Lakers is 1-1, and the two teams are evenly matched for now.

Zhuang Fei once said in the battle of the century that he would not let Phil Jackson win the championship or let the Lakers with Phil Jackson win the championship, it is obvious that this sentence is just a wild word for most people now, especially the supporters of the Lakers, they don't think so, it's just that in the last game they thought it was the Timberwolves who won the game and they didn't want to get mad.

When the Timberwolves and Lakers met for the third time this season on Feb. 2, all Lakers fans and Lakers supporters held their breath to give it to the Timberwolves' home court.

And this game did let them find a channel to get angry, the Lakers won this game, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 115-114 away, and the one who shot the killer was Zhuang Fei's former disciple Szebiak, which can be said to be what Phil Jackson is most willing to see, let the players trained by Zhuang Fei beat Zhuang Fei.

So after the game Phil Jackson was extremely arrogant in front of the media.

"As Coach Z said, as long as I am here, Mr. Zhuang will never win the championship again. Unless he goes back to the NCAA"

Obviously, Phil Jackson has been holding back this sentence for a long time, but Zhuang Fei chose to remain silent in the face of Phil Jackson's provocation again, just like the Lakers were silent when the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers in the last game.

The victor can say anything he wants to say, while the loser has no right to quibble. Zhuang Fei is very aware of this NBA principle, and the best action to refute Phil Jackson is to defeat him again.

After this victory, the Lakers once again became the first in the league, and the Timberwolves also ended their winning streak again, and the first place in the league this season looks more competitive than last season.

According to the tightness of the Lakers and Timberwolves, the Bulls' regular season record may be difficult to keep. (To be continued) RQ
