The Rest, Only Noise

New York, June 10, 1988.

Louie, who just led the Knicks to a championship, and his fiancée Lorraine/Monica Bellucci, with director Penny Marshall, starring Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins at the premiere .

Louis has another identity besides attending as Lorraine's fiancé.

He invested in the film symbolically.

It was an accidental opportunity. Louis was optimistic about this movie, the script was very good, and the director was also capable.

The film tells the story of the male protagonist who grows up overnight and enters the adult world.

As far as creativity is concerned, it is not new.

Like this kind of movie trend of small becoming bigger, bigger and smaller, and even **** changing, it started with "LikeFatherLikeSon" (LikeFatherLikeSon) at the end of last year. Even Marshall herself admitted that she was inspired by this film, but her starting point Movies that are similar to these ideas are different.

The premiere of this film was very successful and received rave reviews. After its release, it also became the box office overlord in the first half of June and was invincible during the same period.

It's a pity that, while the movie was good, there were two menacing films at the end of June.

They are "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (Who Framed Roger Rabbit), the first live-action + animation creative in film history, and another masterpiece "Coming to America" ​​(Coming to America) by Eddie Murphy, whose sense of comedy is increasingly exhausted.

The major newspapers also gave "Leap to the Future" very high praise, and they ignored the potential of Hanks's role of Josie, who grew up overnight, having a relationship with a female colleague after entering the adult world - the copper smelting plot - praised it. The director's creativity and Hanks' performance in it.

For Louie, it's amazing.

Hanks may have been the iconic Hollywood actor of the 90s, and Louie had a slight ear for his struggles in the 80s. Hanks' performance in "The Future," to Louie, was like LeBron James' "Amazing 48 Points" against the Pistons in 2007.

His acting career exploded out of control.

Although Louie's fiancee, Lorraine, doesn't have many scenes in the movie, Michelle, as a female director, is very good at capturing the beauty of women.

The shots she gave Lorraine were so incredible that the New York Times entertainment review repeatedly emphasized: "The only thing I don't like about this movie is Monica Bellucci's shots. So little. Omg, she's so beautiful, she deserves more shots!"

The popularity of "Leaping into the Future" gave Lorraine a smooth start to his acting career.

All kinds of films flew over, and most of them were not good films. Some just want vases, others need her to sell meat.

Louis believes that the follow-up influence of "Leap into the Future" has not yet fermented, and after a period of time, there will be more film appointments, so Lorraine did not accept these invitations.

Lorraine's life would be much more monotonous if there were no dramas to film, and she's still taking classes at NYU, trying to finish her education as much as possible.

Louie also returned to his life after the premiere of "Leap to the Future".

Winning a championship is the end for the players and a new beginning for the management.

This year is different. The players' union and the league are at odds. The new agreement has not been reached. Two expansion teams are about to enter the league. Before the draft begins, the expansion draft must be held first.

Before these things begin, Louie has to represent the Knicks at the NBA's annual meeting in Washington on June 18.

Louis travels alone to Washington, where he meets Jane Walker.

Although the old man is still the number one, these trivial matters are basically left to Volker to do.

"Reed scolds you every day in the office," Walker joked.

Louis believed Auerbach scolded himself, who let him end the Celtic dynasty? Should curse, hmm.

"Do you have any proposals this time?" Louis asked.

"There are no proposals, we are very satisfied with the status quo." Volker asked with a smile, "Do you have any proposals?"

"Indeed."

As for what, Louis did not say.

The annual meeting is always discussed while eating, but the people who come here are all civilized people, gentlemen, who will not really treat the annual meeting as a dinner party.

Except for Louis, who came hungry.

Who made Stern choose a three-star restaurant for the annual meeting?

Of course, Louie eats whatever he has, and he doesn't have to pay for it anyway.

"Coach Lu, is it really a happy event?"

Lakers general manager Jerry West sat next to Louie in a gesture of intimacy.

"How can I say it? After winning the championship, it does feel different. When will you win the championship?

If so, I understand. "

Louis' words struck the heart of the LOGO man.

West pretended to cough, "Actually, I won the championship."

"I know, in 1972, we still beat the Knicks to win the championship, but it has been many years." Louis believes that the Knicks defeated the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, and then defeated the Blazers to win the championship. Everyone loses their teeth.

Magic, who went to the Boston Garden to watch Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals in person, had a serious reflection after the game.

He thinks the Lakers lost because they were too soft in front of the Celtics.

West will not say, as a general manager, many things he can do nothing.

He can get Dennis Johnson, Wilkins, Magic, Michael Cooper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... but he can't make this team beat the Celtics.

Forget them, even as a player, he never beat the Celtics.

The fact that the Lakers will never win the Celtics in the finals is regarded as the "green curse".

"Stop talking about this, Coach Lu, I remember you signed a five-year contract with New York, right?"

West meant something.

"You don't mean to poach me from New York, do you?" Louie said in surprise. "If you really think so, I'm curious, why are you?"

West laughed: "You can leave Boston and you can leave New York now. After all, you have successfully turned them into a team of champions. Wouldn't it be better to go elsewhere to create glory?"

Obviously, Louie's move to leave Boston that year was misunderstood.

West thinks that Louie likes to take a hard challenge - and that's true - but taking a hard job isn't such a challenge. Just won the BOSS, and was about to enjoy it when someone came to him and said, "You are invincible. It's boring to fight again, let's play with a new account."

There is something like this? He doesn't want to be invincible in Boston because he has Auerbach on his head.

In New York, he was Auerbach.

Unless James Dolan suddenly grows 10 years old and buys the Madison Square Garden Company for $1 billion.

Otherwise, Louis has no reason to run away for the time being.

"Jerry, let's talk about this later." Louis had no intention of leaving, but he didn't refuse.

"Mr. Bass appreciates you very much," West said finally. "If you come, I will cooperate fully with your work."

To be honest, Louie appreciates that Jerry Buss, as the owner, helps the team to sign at any cost, respects the opinions of professionals in most matters, and has his own opinions when encountering key issues~www.readwn.com~ But the results often proved him right.

Whether it was asking to choose a magician back then, or correcting a magician in 1982, or choosing Kobe between OK in the future, it can all prove his vision.

He's a good boss for the players he likes.

But as a coach or general manager, is he a good boss?

May wish to recall the final destination of the LOGO man in the Lakers.

At this point, Louis would have no reason to leave New York.

"Please help me tell Mr. Bass, thank you for his appreciation, I will seriously consider his invitation." Louis said indifferently.

Louie's reaction made West think they had a chance.

At this time, David Stern stood up to speak.

"This year, we opened up international channels and sold rights to 11 other countries. We are ahead of the other major leagues in this regard.

At the same time, the ratings of this year's finals have also reached the average ratings of the finals in the past few years. It would be nice if there was a little more suspense. "

Stern joked.

All but the Blazers' new general manager, Bucky Buckwalter, had a huge laugh.

"I believe that the future of the league is bright, but if we want to get better, we still need to brainstorm, so everyone here, if you have any thoughts or opinions on the future of the league, feel free to speak."

(1) The final box office of "Flying the Future" was 150 million, while the other two were 330 million and 280 million.
