One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Two. Comparison Makes People Angry
On the 25th, they played against the Grizzlies. On the afternoon of the 22nd, some of the Grizzlies' management and players had already arrived in Memphis.
Mainly James and Kobe came, and some players also came to join in the fun. Most of them were Lakers players who had no children and no fixed girlfriends. Those with children mostly stayed in Los Angeles for two more days and came back on the 24th.
Wade from the Heat, Duncan from the Spurs, Bosh from the Mavericks, Jordan from the Suns... and others also came. In the next three days, these teams did not have any games.
Kobe's answers in the interview... It doesn't matter what he answered. Those self-media and big Vs have already written various versions of the manuscript. No matter how Kobe answered, they can continue to stir up the heat.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the NBA officially announced that Randolph was suspended for 5 games. In the case of unpaid suspension, he was fined 50,000 US dollars and needed to publicly apologize for violent behavior... Not many people cared about this.
Randolph would definitely be suspended, but it was only suspended for 5 games, which was already very little.
Because it was not a fight, it was a pure one-sided beating.
After last night's game, Sun Ce was already popular enough. Even if they were not basketball fans, they were all paying attention to his 70 points in three quarters.
At this time, Disney issued a notice, which made Sun Ce even more popular!
Sun Ce got up very early this morning, not for training, but to change the lyrics.
Changing Batman to Iron Man, Superman to Thanos... The song doesn't change much, but he can save some money without paying copyright fees to DC. As for the names of one or two Greek mythological figures, he doesn't have to pay copyright fees.
The key is that with this change, his agent and John, who owns the record company, will negotiate with Disney, and he can get a "promotion fee" instead.
After returning to Memphis today, Sun Ce sent the modified lyrics to Disney, and Disney decided to buy the film and television copyright of this song and use it in Marvel songs in the next few years. It may become an interlude or a promotional song.
The price is still under discussion, but with John's consent, Disney took the initiative to reveal the name of Sun Ce's new song - "Something just like this".
Translated into Chinese, it can be understood as - something like this.
According to Disney, Sun Ce wrote this song in 15 minutes after the game against the Knicks. It was inspired by his feelings.
It was also revealed that this song interacts with the Marvel movie.
Disney is trying to take advantage of Sun Ce's popularity. They are happy to pay him a little.
Many of the "inside stories" revealed were made up by a keyboard, but the popularity was really taken advantage of. On the 25th, Guardians of the Galaxy will be released. Many fans who originally did not plan to watch superhero movies, or liked Sun Ce but chose not to watch Sun Ce because he only had one or two minutes of footage, are also going to watch it. Anyway, many people don't know how to spend Christmas. They don't have money to play, but they still have money to watch movies.
However, basketball fans pay more attention to the "song written after the game against the Knicks".
Things like this... are they talking about their friendship with Randolph? Or are they talking about getting 70 points?
In addition, Sun Ce has a new song to release, but it has also attracted strong attention from the literary and art circles.
Although this song has basically no chance of winning an award due to the interaction with the superhero movie, let alone the Grammys, some slightly more popular professional music awards will avoid these, whether it is well written or not, it is the same, so it is possible to win the most useless music award in the film festival.
But the saying that the Lord's products must be fine has never changed. Even if it is not an award-winning song, it should not be too bad.
If it is really not well written... the entertainment media will also have news.
Originally, Sun Ce is in a state of explosion, and Disney has added fuel to the fire, making Sun Ce even more popular!
…
…
Sun Ce only releases one or two songs a year, and it can't even put together an album in a few years, but he can be so popular.
This makes Randolph, who has a professional level, so envious.
It makes a player No. 24 who does not even have a professional level and does not want to reveal his name, so jealous.
The two chose to ignore things that they could not envy or get with jealousy.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, they discussed the content of the performance together. It seems that a concert was discussed two days before the start, which is quite a joke.
But this matter was a joke at first. Who knew it would become a concert that several major media platforms in North America were competing to broadcast live. The live broadcast also changed from free to paid viewing. Since the price was not expensive, many people paid to watch it.
As 4G began to become popular, short video software also had live broadcasts, which were currently in the free promotion stage.
But no matter what, it was a "game" with one god and one assistant leading a group of pits, and everyone came to have fun.
On the 23rd, review dance and rehearse.
Sun Ce felt that the new combination of 23+24 must have started practicing secretly a long time ago. Although Sun Ce had seen Randolph practice before, Nash, Duncan, Wade and others also practiced, but these two danced better than last year, which means they must have had intensive training!
Sun Ce felt that these two people were simply shameless!
Fortunately, he, Sun, had a perfect performance card and danced better than the two...
On the 24th, Christmas Eve, the "Xiong Ba Tian Xia Band's Fourth Anniversary Concert" went smoothly.
Everything went smoothly. It didn't matter who sang better or wrote better songs. Everyone came for fun and just did their best on stage.
They felt satisfied as long as the children who came to the scene were happy and the audience who paid to watch the show in front of the computer didn't feel that they had wasted their money.
As for the money they got, they donated it to Sun Ce's charity foundation in their collective name...
The concert was coming to an end, and the finale performance came!
This time, it was not the amateur accompaniment group in the orchestra who accompanied them, but Disney and John arranged a professional team together.
There will always be some subtle changes in things. Even if the parties and the teams involved don't want to change, there will always be changes. Of course, such changes are not necessarily bad things. For example, when Sun Ce won the Grammy, he must give Sun Ce the finale opportunity when he sang his new song for the first time.
As for the purpose, there must be some who are not good at singing and are afraid that Sun Ce will sing and then they will be embarrassed to sing...
Indeed, during the rehearsal, after listening to Sun Ce practicing with the professional accompaniment group twice, the members and guests were sure that this guy was deliberately torturing them and sang nonsense when humming songs!
And the new song is really good! Anyway, they sounded good.
Accompanied by the gentle and plain melody, some professional music critics, singers, and audiences who donated money to watch the concert and waited for Sun Ce's new song in front of the TV all pricked up their ears and waited...
Accompanied by Sun Ce's magnetic voice, the song sounded...People who pay attention to Sun Ce's songs found that the style has changed this time!
It's not a high pitch, nor a very dynamic song, nor a song with a progressive rhythm;
It's not the feeling of breaking the three-quarter scoring record that basketball fans expect, nor is it to express gratitude to Randolph or teammates or something else.
The lyrics are mainly about "counting" those mythological figures. After discussing with Disney, it was decided to change some names in Greek mythology to characters in Chinese mythology, so that the lyrics include mythological figures from both the East and the West.
This does not affect the song. Some mythological figures and Marvel superheroes are listed in the front, and it is very calm to tell the idea that there is no desire to become those superstars... Even in the climax, it is not too intense. On the contrary, there are no lyrics after a few sentences of the climax.
After the song was sung, the audience felt... Anyway, it was nice. Overall, this song is nice, and Sun Ce sang well. As for the lack of particularly intense melody, it was already the end of the two-hour concert. After listening to so many raps, Sun Ce also sang all the songs he had released before. James, Kobe, Randolph and others all sang raps. Sun Ce ended the song perfectly with the level of a top singer, which was just right for the audience.
And because of the title of "Grammy-level singer", the audience who bought the live broadcast ratings originally expected this song to sound better.
Professional singers and music critics listen from different angles. Their feelings about Sun Ce's singing can be described in one sentence - stable!
As stable as ever!
Moreover, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. For this song, ordinary people just think it's okay when they hear it for the first time, and they don't refuse to listen to it a second time; but professionals see it differently, they find the "listening durability" of this song.
This song will not become a hit song. Unlike Sun Ce's Grammy Best Single last year, which won the first place in the weekly listening list for 11 times, this song will not be so popular this time.
There is a kind of song that may not be often listened to, but it may not be bad when you listen to it for many years.
After listening to this song, some music critics described Sun Ce's song in their first listening comments on their social media.
In their opinion, this song really has such potential.
And this also means that Sun Ce's ability as a singer has improved again!
In the past, Sun Ce always released hit songs, that is, those songs in this era that will be popular on the Internet for a few months, and then people will soon get tired of them.
As a popular singer, you can't be without hit songs. If you only have songs that are good to listen to, you will most likely become a singer whose songs are popular but not the singer. But you can't only have hit songs, because that won't last long, which is the current traffic singer.
Only when you have both types of songs can you become a singer who is popular and can stay popular for a long time.
Although Sun Ce hasn't released many songs in the past few years, he has already shown such potential... and even ability!
Professional music critics are ready to give such an evaluation, mainly to take advantage of Sun Ce's current popularity and try to praise him, but as a person in the literary and artistic world, they can't be too obvious.
But just as they were trying to wield the keyboard, they suddenly found a problem. It seems that it is not quite right to say that Sun Ce has become a singer with long-term popularity... This guy is a basketball player!
People remembered that when he won the Grammy at the beginning of the year, this guy said that he was least good at basketball.
Seeing that this guy seems to release one or two songs every year for fun, he has already won the Grammy Best Single and Best Newcomer, and now he can write such a good song.
Most music critics were actually singers back then, and they also dreamed of becoming singers, but reality is cruel, and it is already good enough to be able to be active in the music industry in the end.
But look at Sun Ce... people are so annoying when compared to others!
…
…
After the concert, we celebrated a little, without drinking or staying up late, and everyone went to rest.
In addition to Nash and Jordan, many of the people who participated in the performance are big names who will play in the Christmas war. In addition to the Lakers who will play against the Grizzlies in Memphis tomorrow, Duncan, Wade, Bosh and others will have to fly to the city where the team is located or the city of the opponent to be challenged tomorrow morning.
After a small celebration, Sun Ce returned home with Lily Collins and Zu Gee, the two top fans tonight.
After arriving home, Sun Ce first practiced the Nash training method to recover the physical strength consumed in the past few days in the early morning.
In these three days, the Grizzlies basically did not arrange training... Two rookies still had training, Hardaway and Gobert. The former needs to strengthen his running ability. Now he mainly stands still to catch the ball and shoot. After catching the ball, he takes a step forward to shoot. It's not bad, but there is room for improvement.
Gobert really needs to practice well, because he is really talented and has obvious progress every once in a while. It's just that Gobert just came to the NBA from Europe and his strength is too poor. The improvement is obvious, and it will take time to improve.
How bad is Gobert's technology? It was so bad that it was more important to put all the energy into training every day and rest than to play games to enhance the game experience.
There was also Larry Sanders who had a right elbow injury. That kind of contusion recovered quickly with a good rest. After a week, Larry Sanders was able to participate in the game. Although he did not participate in the training in the past three days, he was notified to be ready to play.
But the other six main players, Sun Ce, the two bears, the two 3Ds, and Yi Jianlian, were busy with the concert. The others also needed to rest, so they simply did not arrange training.
Anyway, it was only three days, so there was no need to worry that they would lose their form. On the contrary, at this time, there was something that made this group of people less tired and have a good time. It was not to indulge themselves, but to do charity... The Grizzlies management was quite happy, so they coordinated with the people sent by Sun Ce for everything except the performance to help the Xiong Ba Tian Xia band solve those troublesome things.
Moreover, letting the six main players have a good time, in addition to resting physically, also helped them to relax psychologically. In the early stage of the season, there was a lot of pressure and they lost a lot of games, which did have a lot of psychological burden.
The key is that after the next Christmas game, the mid-season mode will be more difficult than before.
It is really difficult not to adjust your mentality and relax.
At 11:45, Sun Ce finally received the prompt that Nash's training method was completed. He was so tired that he took a break and took a shower. The two girls were already asleep. Sun Ce lay next to Lily Collins, groping dishonestly with his hands, turning on the system screen, and looking at the system prompts that came at the end of the concert.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the new song and getting the special card exclusive to the All-Star Weekend: Are you here to compete for the second place?"
This special card is finally in hand!
…
…
After taking a shower last night, Sun Ce lay down and fell asleep while groping around, and woke up early the next morning.
Except for Jordan and Nash who did not leave and were ready to watch the Christmas game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers tonight, Kobe and James were going to participate in tonight's game. All the people from other teams went to their respective cities early in the morning.
There are 5 Christmas games today, Nets vs. Knicks, Thunder vs. Bulls, Lakers vs. Grizzlies, Mavericks vs. Spurs, Heat vs. Warriors.
Because there are games today, Sun Ce slept until 5:50, washed up, and went downstairs to wake up Zu Goose. As a result, when he opened the door of Zu Goose's room, he saw Zu Goose had changed into sportswear and looked at him with resentment.
Zu Goose has already accepted his fate...
After running around the nearby lake twice, at 6:30, Sun Ce took the awake Zu Goose to the indoor court for light shooting training.
Sun Ce really relaxed a lot these days. Who in the Grizzlies team had the most pressure in the first 50 days of the game?
Without a doubt, it was him, Sun.
After not touching the basketball for three days, when Sun Ce touched the ball again, he felt differently. It seemed that the results of the three months of hard training from the start of the training camp to now, finding deficiencies through games and then continuing to train... etc., were more consolidated after three days of rest.
It's not always possible to have such an effect, but this time it really felt like that. For example, the layup, the combination of man and ball felt better... It may also be that after using Kobe, who was at his peak in terms of physical fitness and technology, the layup felt better.
In any case, Sun Ce felt much more at ease. He thought he would be too excited. He devoted himself to preparing the songs for the first performances for three days and didn't touch basketball.
After the morning exercise, Sun Ce and Zu Ge returned to their respective rooms to take a shower. Lily Collins had already gotten up to prepare breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Sun Ce wanted to check out the news about the five Christmas games today and the news about the popular teams that he hadn't had time to pay attention to in the past few days.
But unexpectedly, even the basketball forum was still hotly discussing their "Xiong Ba Tian Xia Band" concert last night!
Among them, the most heated discussion was his new song.
For this new song, Sun Ce didn't think it would be particularly popular, because it was indeed not a song that could be particularly popular.
But the popularity exceeded his expectations!
After finding out more, Sun Ce realized that it was those music critics and singers who were helping to hype him up!
Most of them came to take advantage of his popularity. He just scored 70 points in the basketball holy land, so he was already popular. This song is not only good, but also very good. Of course, they wanted to take advantage of his popularity.
Also, after the concert, Disney, which got the concert version of Sun Ce's new song, also praised this song. Then, I don't know how, many topics that Sun Ce didn't expect appeared.
One of the topics was that Sun Ce felt that his fans were more pretentious than him - the lord really didn't think about becoming great, he just wanted to play well, but things like greatness were naturally achieved.
