The Rest, Only Noise

Unlike a team like the Celtics that made a big deal out of contract renewals, the Knicks have only one renewal job to do.

That's a contract extension with Dennis Rodman.

They didn't give other teams a chance to take advantage, and they used the $1 million expansion exception brought by Dan Marley and Ronnie Sekali, plus some space left over from the salary cap, to give Rodman a five-year deal. 8 million contract.

Rodman embraced it, and he loved playing for Louie.

Louie, who's not much older than him, always cared about him like an older brother, and given him a role in a talented team, couldn't think of a better place than the Knicks.

As for the signing of Kemp and Doug West, there will be basically no problem, plus Sam Bowie and Reggie Williams, the Knicks have introduced four powerful players, the entire 15-man roster, the only one It can be considered optional, it is Brad Rohos.

But Louie likes to use Rohos to make things right, so it can be said that the Knicks' 15-man roster belongs to the players who can fight.

For coaches, just thinking about how to schedule their minutes can be a headache.

Louie wasn't going to think about it, and on July 6, he was "forced" to go to a Broadway musical with Lorraine.

He's more interested in "Sex, Lies and Videotape" than in musicals.

Then Lorraine told him that this is not an ordinary musical, this is a musical in the name of LSP and musicals, and it has nothing to do with music. Although the actors on the stage are almost naked, there is nothing that can be linked to the Ivy film. content, because every show has a sliver from the Metropolitan area coming in to do a detailed inspection to make sure there is no immoral show.

Lorraine wanted to see it because it was the last Broadway show of the musical.

Since it was in the name of LSP, of course Louie went to see it.

This musical is called "Oh! Calcutta!", which is known as a satirical comedy as a fashion, but the whole stage is full of "sexual customs" and "sexual topics", and the actors are all naked. In today's final scene it even simulates that what is that.

Although the plot was boring, Louis was very excited to see it.

"My God, is this the last game?"

Lorraine rolled his eyes at him: "You look intoxicated, Mr. Lu."

"I mean, there are more than 5,000 performances of this kind of musical that destroys the city's appearance?" Louis has another line.

And how could he, who has lived in New York for five years, not know?

What a shame!

Are you embarrassed to say that you are an LSP in the future?

No face to meet people!

"Hey, just pretend!"

Lorraine was clear about her husband's thoughts.

In his spare time, Louis, besides accompanying Lorraine, also became the housekeeper for a few days. He found that the chemical reaction between himself and his child could only last for 120 minutes.

About the time of a movie.

He can't play with them like a good dad all day, after that point he'll get bored.

Fortunately, his son Lu Wuxia became interested in basketball.

Louie taught him dribbling, passing, and shooting, and when necessary, invited Tomjanovich to open a small kitchen.

Of course he would not take Tomjanovich's vacation for no reason. As a thank you to the other party, Louie invited Tomjanovich to invest in "Hasbro" with him.

This is a toy company, and Louis remembers that he bought toys from this store in a previous life, either in the United States or in China.

Tomjanovich trusts Louie, because the latter invested heavily in Microsoft in 1984 and achieved great success. Since then, he has achieved financial freedom and is also a good story in the league.

As if publicizing his story would convince those who would watch the players, the investment would also be successful.

Louie's investments are largely based on expert advice and memories from past lives.

If he knows or feels familiar, he will think about investing. The former, he will throw money without thinking. In the latter, he would invest selectively after asking an expert.

In addition to family, in addition to business, in addition to the love of restricted movies, Louie will also find a way to let Lorraine's acting career enter a new stage.

Last year's "Leap to the Future" unexpectedly became popular, reaping $130 million at the box office, and also made Lorraine famous. Many film appointments are floating around, but she only took on a villain supporting actress in "007: License to Kill".

Also last year, at a high-level party at the Madison Square Garden Company, Louie met director Gregory J. Bona (Gregory****onann), who was working on a series to be released on NBC next year.

The show was called "Baywatch" (Baywatch 1989-2001), and according to Boehner's description, Louie suddenly thought that it was the late night show Chandler and Joey watched on time in front of the TV in "Friends". ?

Louie has secured a major supporting role for Lorraine, and the show's first season will air this month.

And then there was the moment, Michigan writer and producer John Hughes was on vacation when he was illuminated by the Spirit of Inspiration when a thought flashed into his head: "He's on vacation and he's going to forget everything he doesn't want to remember. "But obviously he can't forget his kids, and he suddenly thought, what would happen if he left them at home for 10 days?"

He wrote an eight-page outline on the spot, then spent months perfecting the script and approaching Warner Bros. for investment, promising that the film would cost under $10 million, well below the budgets of most contemporary films. .

Although Hughes was from Michigan, he came from the same place as the tragic Johnson, Lansing. But he settled in New York, a season ticket holder for the Knicks and a friend of Louie.

Louie and he were chatting when they heard about the script for his new movie.

He listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more familiar it became.

"The comedy story of a young boy who is left alone at home and encounters a burglar and fights skillfully with it", this description alone reminds Louie.

Isn't this "Home Alone"?

How popular is a family comedy that has become pop culture in China? Louis immediately expressed his appreciation for the script.

Unexpectedly, Hughes frowned, because the investment he asked Warner Bros. was 10 million, but he now found that this number is not enough, there are too many accidents, and it may take 14 million to 18 million to complete this project in the future.

Hughes thought of a way to secretly contact other film companies to see if they could get more investment.

And it needs Louis's help, which is why he came to Louis.

Although Louie is not a person in the film industry, his boss, MSG president Jack Kruger, is a man of the year in New York. With his hands and eyes, he will definitely bring good results.

Louie didn't think this way of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot was good for Hughes.

He smiled and said: "Your plan is good, but I have a suggestion to make a slight modification on the basis of your plan."

The result of Louis' "slight modification" is as follows. Hughes first went to Time Warner to ask for money. If he didn't give it, he (Louis) would make up for the lack of funds. Of course, as the gold owner of this work For one, he had the right to make a small request - to give Lorraine a role in the movie.

Hughes did not expect Louie to be so generous, after all, even he himself had no idea how the work would respond when it came out.

The two sides hit it off, but Louis did not expect that in the end, his additional investment reached 8 million US dollars.

If this amount of investment was put into five years ago, he would never have been able to do it.

Even now, his cash is only over 10 million US dollars. Although he has invested in many projects, it will take time for them to appreciate in value, so from the outside world, he is equivalent to spending 8 million for his wife on a low-cost movie. Bought a character.

Everyone thought he was stupid.

"The New York Times" Entertainment said unceremoniously: "The Knicks' Messiah tried to be his wife's Messiah, and he chose a movie with zero hope of success, which is not going to end well."

Louie smiled without saying a word, his actions moved Lorraine to a mess.

Louis, who had seen the future, didn't say much about it. No matter how the media ridiculed him, he didn't respond.

Well, maybe it's time to think about it now, a movie with a budget of 18 million US dollars, he invested 8 million, how much can he make then? (Final global box office 470 million)

With the suspense over where Ralph Sampson is going to end early, this year's free agency looks sluggish.

After all, the number one free agent outside of Sampson is Adrian Dantley. How can this be exciting?

The Chicago Bulls, who failed to harvest any grains, made the leading star strongly dissatisfied with the management.

The always outspoken Sir Charles declared in a nightclub: "If this **** doesn't change, I'll change it myself!"

The words were heavy enough to make Klaus dizzy and pursue Dantley.

Can anything good happen when a selfish person and an undisciplined person are put together?

Louie didn't stop the Bulls from signing Dantley, which is what he wanted to see.

The Bulls managed to sign Dantley, and some Chicagoans want Dantley to be a true mentor, admonishing young players with his own lessons.

Dantley may have really done it after retiring, but many things can only be imagined when he is old.

For the Bulls' move to sign Dantley, Louie had to take the Times's comment on his investment in "Home Alone" and said: "This will not have a good result."
