Chapter 898 [Kung Fu Superstar, Super Lakers]
In recent years, Liu Xiang has been fighting against injuries with his tenacious will. Although he was unwell due to his old injury before this competition, he still actively prepared for the competition with a high spirit.
In the hurdling final, Liu Xiang was tripped when he was on the first bar and lost the opportunity to compete for medals.
No one is perfect, and it is normal to succeed and fail. Liu Xiang withdrew from the Olympics due to injury twice, which is really unlucky enough.
After examination, he was seriously injured, with a ruptured Achilles tendon and needed surgery.
He has to rest for a long time, and even if he returns from injury, it will be difficult to recover from his best condition.
Liu Xiang failed, and Wang Jun became the biggest hero in this Olympic Games and supported the country's face.
At this time, the young master who was looking forward to for a long time was released.
Wang Jun did not participate in the movie promotional activities or the premiere. In fact, he was the best promotional person himself.
He angrily scolded the reporter, two gold medals and multiple news headlines, which made many people pay attention to the movies he starred in.
When it was previewed in late July, the movie gained a high reputation. Although the theme of personal heroism is changed but not the medicine, the action scenes are the most exciting of all the movies this year.
There are violent wrestling by the Australian young master, the special killing of the African young master's guns, the young master's black technology, and Wang Jun's Chinese Kung Fu, the four leading actors have come up with many tricks.
The most outstanding one-on-two final battle made many people willing to go to the cinema to watch it again, with a punch and a long aftertaste.
The second is Hemsworth. In addition to wrestling scenes, he is also responsible for funny and some dirty jokes that make people remember deeply.
For example, he was detained at a foreign airport, and the Transportation Security Bureau staff suspected that he was a "crotch bomber" sent by a terrorist organization. He went to the office to search, and after he took off his pants, everyone found that it was not a weapon.
The movie also complained about some American blockbusters, which were a bit anti-heroic.
The head instructor Harrison was originally the King of Special Forces, but he retreated due to disability and injured his Achilles tendon by shrapnel.
He was once called "The Pure Man Never Looking Back to Look at the Explosion", but because he didn't look Back, he was finally seriously injured once.
This is a prelude. When the movie exploded at the end, a group of students were very unmanly, and they looked for covers in various exaggerated actions and ran away with their heads. The four leading actors were no exception and became a big joke.
The male and female protagonists show off their figure on the island. Although they don’t show their spots, they are attractive enough and become a major selling point in the movie.
Even the handsome Canadian guy Stephen Amel, who plays the supporting role of the villain, became popular.
He is very skilled in the film and his popularity has increased greatly through high-scoring action dramas. At the beginning of the year, he looked at the American drama Green Arrow and became the male lead. He will play a famous role, the first generation Green Arrow Oliver Quinn.
On the first three days of the first week, the movie made half of the investment cost of 80 million, and the box office in North America was 40.29 million.
However, because the film is full of violence, dirty jokes and swearing, China is sure that it will not introduce it, and Chinese movie fans can only wait for resources online.
After the movie was released, it also sparked discussions on the Internet about who is the strongest in Chinese kung fu superstar.
Big-name stars did not express their opinions, only often played supporting roles, and the villain Zou Zhaolong faced this problem directly.
The reporter asked: "Who do you think can really fight in the movie industry?"
"It must be Wang Jun. Everyone knows that he is fighting a group of Speed Party. If he participates in a fighting competition, he is also heavyweight. Compared with physical fitness, he is not on the same level as other Chinese Kung Fu actors."
The reporter asked: "Do you think he is real kung fu?"
Zou Zhaolong said: "Let me talk first, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Zhao Wenzhuo and me, no one knows real kung fu.
We are just used to playing these moves, which does not mean that we can have real kung fu. It’s good that you win the championship in martial arts competitions, but you are just performing it alone. That’s not called real kung fu. Wang Jun is very good at playing, but it’s not traditional Chinese kung fu."
The reporter was surprised and complained in his heart: Chang Wei, you said you don’t know how to do martial arts?
Zou Zhaolong continued: "There are real kung fu in this world, but on the mountain, they are practicing. Don't misunderstand what kung fu is. If it is understood as killing twice is kung fu, it is superficial. We are used to playing these routines in movies, and some of our performance methods make the audience feel great. It feels like we work harder, but it does not mean we can do kung fu."
According to his explanation, traditional Chinese Kung Fu focuses on self-cultivation and characterization, and talks about "martial morality" rather than violently hurting people.
Of course, Wang Jun is very good at fighting, and it is something to be proud of.
When promoting the movie, Hemsworth and others also said: "If we really fight, we actors may not be Wang Jun's opponents when we play together."
Wang Jun is not a Hollywood first-line actor, but he is already a recognized kung fu star.
On the 11th, Wang Jun received a call from Albert Swan at the hotel, asking him to surf the Internet.
"What's up?"
"Watch the news online and there are big deals. Perhaps the Lakers will pose a threat to the Kings in the new season."
"Oh? Let's take a look, let's talk online."
Wang Jun logged in to Tencent, China online, and there was indeed a big deal. The league has agreed to a four-party deal about Dwight Howard, and "Warcraft" will officially become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, wearing the No. 12 jersey.
The Nuggets got Andre Iguodala.
76ers got Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson.
The Magic can get the Nuggets' first round rookie Aaron Aflaro, Al Harrington, Hawys and the Sixers' first round rookie Mohacres.
Moreover, the Magic will each get a protected future first-round pick from all three teams of the Lakers, 76ers and the Nuggets. They will get another second-round pick from the Nuggets.
Although Howard did not get a big star, he could quickly complete the reconstruction of the Magic, and got four new players and four draft picks at one time, and also gave Richardson's bad contract, which can be said to be a record-breaking transaction.
Paul Gasol, who was concerned about before, did not appear in this deal. The Lakers, who claimed to be playing Princeton next season, did not want to send away the big man with the most passing talent in the inside, which made Kobe ecstatic.
As early as July, the Lakers completed a sign-in and then exchange transaction with the Suns.
They used the 8.9 million trade special case, the top five protections for the first round picks in 2013, 2015, and the second round picks in 2013, 2014 and some cash to exchange for two-time point guard Steve Nash.
Nash's new contract is worth $27 million for three years, and he will wear the No. 10 jersey in the new season.
Before joining the Lakers, Nash played for the Suns and won the regular season in 2005. He was selected into the All-Star lineup for 8 times in his career and entered the league's first team three times. In the entire history, Nash ranked second in free throw percentage of 9035 and ranked fifth in total assists in his career.
Last season, Nash averaged 316 minutes per game, contributed 125 points and 107 assists, hitting a shooting percentage of 532, and got the most 28 double-doubles with defenders. Nash is in a very impressive state. He teamed up with Kobe next season and will strive to get a championship ring at the end of his career.
The top three shooting guards in the league, the top ten point guards in the league, the top four power forwards in the league, and the league's number one center, the Lakers' lineup is really scary.
It only looks at the fame of the stars. Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, and Howard's starting lineups have completely outperformed the entire league.
The Lakers substitutes include Jamison, Duhon, Blake, Earl Clark, Yodimex, Jordan Hill, etc., who have potential inside, three-pointers, and experienced veterans.
Most people believe that the Lakers have once again become the favorite to win the championship.
To be continued.
