Chapter 563: Race against time to cut points!
After the New York conversation, Chen Mu didn't think much about what the outcome of the conversation with Spike Lee would bring.
Spike Lee's proposal is to make a realistic work, basketball is naturally the most important component, but in addition to basketball, there is something to express, which is Spike Lee's style.
Such a work will naturally win a lot of praise, and its depth and breadth can add a lot of points to the artistic connotation of the film itself.
But speaking of making money?
Of course, "Slam Dunk in the Air" or "Playing Like Mike" is more reliable.
Spike Lee has a little rejection of Chen Mu's ideas, but as a famous director, Spike Lee's connections and resources are very broad. He himself actually set up a small film and television company with his friends in the circle, and if he really wants to make money-making movies, even if Spike Lee feels that his name is a bit embarrassing, he can completely follow the path of a film and television company.
As an audience with less connotation, Chen Mu asked himself, of course he would like a realistic and connotative film like "Heads-up". But if one day "Heads-up" and "Aerial Slam Dunk" are released together, Chen Mu is estimated to still choose to go into the cinema to watch "Aerial Jam", and then go home to watch "Heads-up" on TV or computer.
To make money, of course, you have to find the best way to make money.
The two chatted for a long time in a small shabby café in Queens, and Chen Mu's precise judgment on the relationship between commercialization and artistry of film made Spike Lee also appreciate.
In the end, the two agreed to wait for the season to be completely over, and then make another appointment to discuss the matter of making a movie together.
As for whether to make a realistic work or simply make a popcorn masterpiece, it will be decided depending on the overall situation of the film market at that time.
Of course. Spike Lee also revealed a little bit of information.
"If both kinds of movies are made, and the main theme of reality takes the home theater route, you know, HD Blu-ray or something. And then the popcorn movie, we went to the theater and made a lot of money. ”
Spike Lee isn't a stubborn person either. is also an old-timer in the entertainment industry, and the stakes are still well analyzed.
"Take a double line?" Chen Mu asked with a smile.
"yes, it's like your two-way cover, haha!" Spike Lee smiled and nodded.
In terms of the specific time, neither of them has decided that if they want to go on a double line, of course, it is impossible for the two films to start filming and produce at the same time, and there needs to be a time sequence.
Chen Mu's popularity is almost unrivaled now, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it. His popularity has not yet reached its peak.
Over time, when Chen Mu gets more honors, the Philadelphia 76ers will also make new improvements in their records, especially in the playoffs. At that time, Chen Mu's commercial value will really be maximized.
The popcorn movie is naturally to be filmed at that time, and it is best to start hyping it from the beginning of filming.
"And."
Before leaving, Chen Mu had already gotten up. Spike Lee stretched out another finger with a serious face and said, "Don't be a boss in our New York in the future!" ”
"Haha......!"
Chen Mu was also happy. This famous director is really a Knicks fan.
"Then strengthen your defenses!"
Time is like water.
Another few days passed, and the 76ers and Cavaliers, who were in the midst of a lively battle for the top spot in the East, won two more games each. The record has come to a high of 64 wins.
Chen Mu remembers the knights this season. In the original timeline, it should have a record of about 66 wins.
Now in this timeline, the Cavaliers' record has shrunk so much, and the reasons are more complicated.
First, the appearance of Chen Mu. The rise of Philadelphia made the Cavaliers very uncomfortable when facing Philadelphia, and the game that should have been won was lost, and the record will naturally decline.
Second, in the competition with Chen Mu, LeBron is also pushing all the energy in his body, wanting to make himself improve and improve a little more.
As a result, some games in which the Cavaliers originally lost were won due to LeBron's personal performance against the sky. The end result is that the Cavaliers' record has declined, but the decline is so small that it is difficult to say whether it is a regression or not.
After all, LeBron himself has made progress beyond the original timeline.
Another consequence of this situation, naturally, is that LeBron James's personal data has reached a new high.
The combination of the two led to the ownership of the final scoring champion this season, creating a new suspense.
"So far, the league has been very competitive for the league scores. Among the scoring masters in the first echelon, Chen, a Chinese kid from the Philadelphia 76ers, is occupying the top spot with an average of 32.3 points per game. The Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James followed, especially after a series of outbursts in the second half of the season, LeBron's average points per game has also come to 32.2 points. There is only a 0.1-point gap between the two. ”
In the special program on the T runway, a special discussion on the ownership of the scoring champion, a group of players and experts gathered together, and they were all arguing fiercely about this biggest suspense.
"82 games, 0.1 points difference, I'm not very good at math, I'll do the math."
Barkley shook his fat face and said illogically: "82 times 0.1, that's ......"
“8.2。” Simmons on the side laughed.
"yes, I was just about to say that." Barkley said shamelessly: "The gap of 8.2 points needs to be recovered in the last game. What the......? You said you want to count it as 81? Eh, it doesn't matter, it's more than 9 points anyway! ”
"More than 9 points, as long as LeBron scores 9 more points than the Chinese kid in the last game, he can overtake and win the scoring title!"
"Theoretically, LeBron has started to kill gods after entering April, and now he feels hot and hot. The last two games have ended in high scores, and it has been four consecutive 40+ games. Simmons nodded: "On the Chinese kid's side, although the scoring momentum is also good, everyone should see that Philadelphia has now completely entered the playoff mode." ”
"The Philadelphia 76ers have a good control of their playing time now, especially the Chinese kid, whose opponents are not strong in recent games, and the playing time is basically about 30 minutes. Although the data is basically maintained, if you want to compete for the scoring title, you still need to work hard. ”
"That's right." The host answered: "Does the Chinese kid want to score the championship?" Let's take a look at an interview with a reporter from the front. ”
With the host's words, the camera everything, and Chen Mu's cynical stinky face appeared on the screen.
"Scoring champion? Ha, if you have the chance, of course you want to! ”
Chen Mu was very straightforward and said with a smile: "All players who play in the NBA, as long as they have a desire to score, have somewhat imagined the moment when they can become the scoring champion." Just like when I was competing for the rebounding title before, I imagined countless times how excited I would be when that moment came. ”
"Actually?" The reporter asked.
"Actually......" Chen Mu smiled: "Actually, just like that, when I got the honor, I really didn't feel too excited." It's a kind of ...... Well, a kind of ......"
"A natural feeling?" Journalist tips.
"It's pretty much the same, but there's one difference, and that'...... I don't know how to put it in English. Chen Mu scratched his head and said: "It's 'a matter of course', which is almost the meaning." ”
The interview is over, and the screen returns to the studio.
"Haha, the Chinese kid seems very indifferent, but yes, he is now on the rise of his career. Although it is hard to believe that with such terrifying statistics in modern basketball, the Chinese kid still has room to rise. But that's the way it is, the Chinese kid may not have reached his highest point yet. ”
The host continued: "We also interviewed LeBron, and the little emperor's answer to this question was succinct. ”
Picture everything, LeBron appears.
"It's good to be the top scorer, but I just want the title."
LeBron James, eyes like torches.
"Just listen to him!"
Barkley obviously didn't like LeBron's rather official answer, but preferred Chen Mu's real feeling, and said with a chubby face: "Who doesn't want a scoring champion?" All wanted! I'll tell you, except for Dennis, I've never seen a player who has never coveted the top scorer! ”
"You're talking about star-caliber players." Smith laughed and said that for an athlete like him, who has spent most of his career as a role player, he really doesn't think much about honors that only the best can touch.
"Of course." Barkley nodded proudly, glanced back at Smith with great disdain, waved his hand, and said, "Who let such a small character in?" Piping, piping~"
"Haha, it's really auspicious."
The host smiled: "In the last regular season game of both teams, the opponents they faced were not strong, and there was no disrespect, but it was so." ”
The opponents of the last match of the two teams appear on the screen, both at home.
"The Cavaliers are playing at home against the Wizards, two teams that were once rivals in the playoffs. But this season, Arenas has only played two games due to injury, the Wizards' record is quite poor, and the defense is as unreliable as ever. Facing a forward line composed of Caron Butler and Jamison, LeBron has a chance to hit the season's highest score. ”
"On the other hand, Philadelphia is facing the Kings at home, and opponents like Brad Miller, Hawes, and Jason Thompson are really difficult to pose a threat to the Chinese kids."
After a few simple words of analysis, the host looked at the camera and said solemnly: "So this Sunday, everyone must pay attention to our live NBA games, let's take a look at who will become the scoring champion!" (To be continued.) )
PS: The last game of the season, chasing the scoring champion!
