Chapter 658 [Winner! Don’t take off the uncomfortable Schi]

Guo Xu embarked on a new round of away games amid the praise of the media and fans, leading the team to continue winning streaks.

On the 8th, the Suns beat the Trail Blazers 125 to 102.

The Trail Blazers are at the bottom of the Western Conference, and their goal this season is to sign the No. 1 pick.

Their offense is not bad. The "Flying Squirrel" Stadameier was not traded in the summer. He can break through and shoot in the pick-and-roll tactics. Both inside players Milicic and Villanueva have ranges and can withdraw the inside, catch and shoot and cut off the ball well. He learned the Grizzlies' double tower tactics.

However, it is difficult for the Trail Blazers to win. They are one of the worst teams in the league in defense. There are no defensive experts on the wings, and they are easily broken through the outside. They are in a pick-and-roll mess, and they almost do not care about their opponents shooting three-pointers.

Guo Xu played for 31 minutes, scored 45 points and 6 assists, and entered garbage time in the first half. He played in the third quarter purely to make data. His shooting percentage was 50%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 40%. He looked just a touch.

On the 9th, the Suns defeated the Warriors 108-93 back-to-back, and another simple victory, Guo Xu scored 41 points.

The Warriors are very strong on the outside, and Byron Davis, Fisher and Barbosa can score a lot of points in rotation, and Bathir and Roll Deng's forward combination can attack and defend.

But the Warriors' inside weakness is very obvious. Troy Murphy is out for 4-6 weeks due to injury. They have no future before strengthening the inside and cannot defend the penalty area at all. They still cannot make it to the playoffs this season.

After defeating the Warriors and winning eight consecutive victories, the Suns had a total record of 16 wins and 3 losses and tied for the West.

Almost all the basketball experts who questioned them shut up. If the Suns were just good in the first few games, it could be said that it was accidental, and the schedule might be relatively easy. They still ranked first after playing 19 games. This is strength. It is time to discuss whether O'Neal's grandmother and Guo Xu can win the championship when playing together.

After playing against the Warriors, the Suns took a bus from Oakland to Los Angeles and challenged the Clippers away on the 11th. This game was not easy. The Clippers were in a strong momentum, with a record of 13 wins and 5 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference. Both sides won the first game against the Clippers.

On the 10th, the Suns were on holiday, and Guo Xu participated in the audition for "Inception" and served as a judge.

There are many characters who have to look at the mirror this time, including "Fisher" who was invaded, the "politically correct" black pharmacist, the heroine of the dreammaker, the wife of the male protagonist Cobb, the third female role who is responsible for guarding the first dream, etc.

There are four judges, Guo Xu, Keanu Reeves, Robert Smith who returned from her honeymoon, and director Wan Ziren.

They discussed the issue of choosing a director for a long time, but there was no suitable candidate. It was impossible to find the original director Nolan, but the fight scenes in the movie were all over. Jet Li and Jason Statham could both let him direct the fight as a ruffian.

Other directors are either too literary or have no schedule. Finally, Guo Xu suggested to find new Hollywood director Wan Ziren.

Born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia, Wan Ziren majored in college in Melbourne in his early years as a Chinese ethnic division. Robert believed that it was risky to find such a person who became a monk who was halfway through to be a science fiction blockbuster director, but Guo Xu firmly believed that he could do it.

Some geniuses may not need to have experience before doing great things. Didn’t Zhuge Liang lead soldiers before he came out of the mountain? Wen Ziren is much better than Zhuge Liang, so he didn’t need to visit him three times and call him to call him.

In Guo Xu's previous life, more and more Chinese directors will become famous in Hollywood, such as "Brokeback Mountain", Ang Lee, director of "Pi's Fantasy Drifting", Lin Yibin, director of "Fast and Furious 5", "Star Trek 3", Zhu Haowei, director of "Shocking Demons", etc. In terms of box office appeal alone, these people cannot compare with Wan Ziren.

Guo Xu feels that Wen Ziren is fully qualified to join his "life winner circle of friends".

In 2004, Wan Ziren, who had never directed or starred in a feature film, was spotted by Hollywood and directed the horror thriller "Saw", which took only 18 days to shoot and cost 1.2 million yuan, but earned $50 million in North American box office and $103 million in total global box office.

Until Guo Xu's rebirth, Wan Ziren's movies almost never failed at the box office. "Aquaman" directed by him in 2018 once again created a box office miracle and was known as the DR. Wan Ziren has made many "hot" masterpieces, such as the "Sound of the Souls", "Saw" series, and the box office myth "Fast and Furious 7".

"Fast and Furious 7" has a global box office of US$1.51 billion, ranking seventh in the global box office in film history!

In short, Wan Ziren is a director who is very good at telling stories. He is not famous yet. He has only filmed "Saw" and will only appear in 2007. "Silence" is also a hit, with an investment of 20 million yuan, a box office in North America that is close to 170 million yuan, and a global box office of 220 million yuan.

His main job is to write the chainsaw series. He was shocked when he was invited. Of course, he was willing to direct "Inception", but he had no confidence in his abilities. He was not afraid of making bad movies, but was afraid that he could not suppress big-name actors. He was much worse in qualifications and age. He was born in 1977 and was only 4 years older than Guo Xu.

Guo Xu called Wen Ziren to explain his thoughts. "I appreciate your talent very much, especially like "Saw" and know your skills. If you can scare the big and strong men, you will definitely be able to make this science fiction film. It is unnecessary for you to worry that the actors are not easy to control, because we are a group of friends who work together to make movies, and everything is easy to discuss."

"I have no experience and no fame, why did you choose me?" Wen Ziren asked.

"Because you are Chinese, I think you are more friendly. Don't you dare to play with you if you want to play with a big game?"

"Thank you, I did it." The thin director also wanted to prove his strength.

In the morning, everyone started the talent show, and the first choice was Keanu's wife.

Without much competition, this character was taken down by Eva Green. She is only 25 years old this year, but it is very consistent with the character's temperament.

In "Inception", Mel always appears as a destroyer. She is sinister and smart, and does her best to destroy Cobb's plans and try to kill Cobb.

Mel, who has always wanted to kill Cobb, is a mirror image of Cobb's own heart, a projection of his hatred for Mel, or he is giving himself a reason to kill his wife. I killed you in order to defend himself. But on the other hand, Cobb is full of guilt for his "killing his wife" and repeatedly let Mel's subconscious destroy his plan.

Mel's role is very important. Eva doesn't need to be played. She looks a little evil, and this temperament cannot be covered up.

Eva has a huge advantage in competing roles. She is famous enough and requires a low pay. She can shoot it at 500,000 yuan. The price she quoted made Guo Xu and Robert, as capitalists, too lazy to squeeze out any more, because she just starred in the epic blockbuster "The Kingdom of Heaven", and she still has a certain popularity.

This blockbuster, released on May 6 this year, is an important reason why Eva cannot get more valuable. She invested more than $140 million, and it was indeed a waste of money. The shocking movie scenes can really be described as visual impact, making the movie the best of the same type of film work. However, the box office in North America only earned 50 million US dollars, with a global total of 210 million.

The movie failed, and Eva and Orlando Bloom were both affected as starring actors.

Orlando has the foundation of a little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and can withstand it. If Eva doesn't take on a blockbuster as soon as possible, the situation will be a little bad. She chose "Inception" and believes that Cass's lineup will not be able to save anymore.
