Chapter 671 [Gravity, No Time to Delay]
In early December, Yang Rui heard the most shocking news since his rebirth. Scarlett Johansson was pregnant and he was going to be a father.
He is 36 years old this year. He, Stana and Scarlett are all willing to try to create humans, but they have never succeeded. He had a special examination for this reason, and the doctor clearly told him that there was nothing wrong.
Both men and women are in good health. The doctor's analysis is that they are busy with work and do not continue to live a sex life. In fact, the doctor lamented that the family was really messed up. Living with four people together was just messing around. It was so normal to have no children...
Scarlett decided not to take on new movies for the time being and to rest at home.
Stana is very depressed. She is 32 years old and wants children more than Scarlett, but she doesn't want to die. In addition to the Resident Evil series, she hopes to have other high-grossing masterpieces.
Stana persistently wanted to make a good movie because she never succeeded without Yang Rui. The scripts she chose were all bad movies. If it weren't for Facebook's support, all his wealth would have been lost long ago. She has a strong personality and doesn't want to be completely reduced to a man's vassal.
Yang Rui understood Stana's character and gave her a prepared script.
The plot is very simple. On a space station belonging to the United States, several astronauts are taking a spacewalk and doing routine inspections of their satellites. The female doctor who was new to space inspected every component in an orderly manner with the assistance of experienced astronauts. At this moment, shocking news came from the Space Headquarters. Not long ago, a Russian satellite that was about to be abandoned was destroyed by a missile. The fragments scattered in the earth's orbit at a speed faster than bullets and accidentally hit other satellites, causing a chain reaction to create new ones. fragments. ?
The heroine and her group were severely damaged by debris, and some of her companions died unfortunately. The heroine and the hero lost control and fell into the depths of the universe. The two survivors had to trust each other and try their best to survive.
Yang Rui is not sure if there is a script for "Gravity" in Hollywood now, but he is not afraid of being accused of plagiarism, because there are many science fiction novels and the theme of survival in space disasters is too numerous to count, but no one has filmed it.
What he wrote was only rough content. I watched this visual blockbuster in the cinema and was deeply impressed, but I can’t remember the specific lines. After the project is established, other people will definitely be needed to deepen the lines. Facebook has no shortage of such talents.
Stana was very satisfied after watching it, but also felt a lot of pressure, because it was a one-woman show from beginning to end, which tested her acting skills. What’s more interesting is that the movie has a lot of Chinese elements, and in the end the heroine mainly relies on the Chinese Shenzhou to return to earth.
Yang Rui Remembers the Movie's global box office exceeded 700 million, and the heroine was nominated for an Oscar.
The situation of Stana and Sandra Bullock is different. It is difficult to get nominated. Hollywood has some unspoken rules. The film awards must be consistent with the political background of the year, and various public relations and so on.
Facebook has never considered competing for the Oscars. They have never made artistic films that meet the judges' appetites, and they only make commercial films. If you make a literary film, regardless of the audience's reaction, Yang Rui and Thomas, the two people who made the decision, couldn't watch it and fell asleep in the cinema.
Yang Rui is planning to invest 150 million, start the project as soon as possible, and find Alfonso Cuarón to shoot it. This is not too bullying the director, it just makes the script his own, and Alfonso can still get the money and fame.
If he didn't find this director, Yang Rui wouldn't have the confidence to make the movie well. Alfonso was born in Mexico City on November 28, 1961. He wanted to be a director and astronaut since he was a child, but he gave up his dream of becoming an astronaut because he didn't want to join the army. Because he has a space dream and knows more about space than all directors.
The NBA regular season continues. Yang Rui is running around and doesn’t have much time to spend with Scarlett. It would be very suitable for him to find someone in the entertainment industry. If he values his family and needs to see someone frequently, he would have broken up with him long ago.
By the middle of the month, the Clippers had lost three more games, losing to their old rival the Mavericks at home on the 6th.
After a contest, both sides made adjustments.
The Mavericks started with Gasol, Nowitzki, Prince, Stevenson, and Kidd. They adopted a zone defense strategy to strictly guard against inside attacks and were not afraid of mismatches in various positions.
This prevents Jordan from making air cuts and allows Griffin to make mid-range shots, which also lowers the hit rate.
Kidd is easy to pass when defending guards. He is very smart to keep a distance from Paul and prevent breakthroughs but not shots. Paul's three-pointers are not as scary as his breakthrough shots.
The Mavericks relied on Nowitzki for their first offense, playing only 6 minutes. Rick Carlisle also took Gasol off to rest, and sent Marion as a guest at the 4th position to defend the pick-and-roll.
In the second quarter, Gasol, Cardinal, Marion, Terry, and Barea appeared on the field. They were able to break through and hit three-pointers. Gasol was also able to provide support from the high post in the pick-and-roll, and withstood the Clippers bench. attack.
The Mavericks' two short forwards are fast and can interfere with outside shots in zone defense, making up for Gasol's shortcomings in speed.
Yang Rui's adjustments are equally effective. He plays small ball tactics to speed up the tempo, letting Griffin play center to deal with Gasol, and Gay guest-starring at the 4th position to defend Nowitzki.
In this way, the lineups of the two teams will form mutual conflicts. The Clippers can't defend the Mavericks' offensive position inside. Gasol and Nowitzki play together, and they can't defend the Clippers' quick counterattacks.
The Clippers lost another 5 points due to lack of experience. Griffin's statistics can match Nowitzki's, but he needs to fight hard. When playing key balls, Griffin is too raw and cannot compare with Nowitzki. , the defensive end has also become the opponent's main breakthrough point.
After the loss, Yang Rui asked his assistant to continue to urge Griffin to practice jump shots and increase his shooting range. He did not blame him for the mistakes he made on the defensive end. This is just his rookie season, and mistakes are normal.
On December 12, the Clippers lost to the Timberwolves 104-108 in an away game, a huge upset.
Without the overlapping position of Kevin Love, Al Jefferson stayed with the Timberwolves and steadily produced 20+10 data, becoming the league's famous double-double machine and the new Wolf King. In this game, he defeated DeAndre Jordan. , Mahinmi, scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
Mike Beasley, the No. 2 pick in 2008 who was traded from the Heat, also had a fit. He was capable of breakthroughs and shooting. He defeated Griffin and scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.
So far, Beasley is averaging 20.4 points, 6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and he is at home at the power forward position.
The Timberwolves' bench is not weak inside, led by Nikola Pekovic, Anthony Randolph, and Anthony Tolliver. There are no big-name stars on the outside, but there is no shortage of people who can shoot three-pointers.
After a day off, the Clippers lost to the Magic 95-99 in an away game and suffered a losing streak.
The Clippers' small-ball tactics were blocked. Magic insiders Dwight Howard, Brandon Bass, and Rashard Lewis were all very fast.
Howard has a hard time playing against big men like Yao Ming. He has an obvious advantage against players like DeAndre Jordan and Mahinmi who are about the same height.
After the Clippers lost five games, people discovered that they were not invincible and had obvious weaknesses inside.
If you encounter a team that is good at attacking the basket, and the Clippers want to solidify their defense, they have to increase Jordan's playing time. If he plays more time, the opponent may use the "shark-cutting tactic."
Griffin's defense as a center is unqualified. Small ball is an extreme tactic. Once Yang Rui uses it, he will attack the opponent. If the outside player has a good shooting touch, the Clippers will win. If the touch is not good, the Clippers may lose.
This is the same tactic as the future Warriors using Draymond Green as center and Iguodala as a power forward. Unfortunately, Griffin and Gay's defense is not as good as the Warriors.
After the start of the new season, young inside players such as Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are receiving guidance from Kurt Thomas to strengthen defense. The veteran has rarely played since joining the Clippers and can also help the team.
It will be difficult for the Clippers to acquire strong players through trade in the mid-term. Cultivating young players is the only way out and there is no need to delay.
