Chapter 129 Daily

The movie started soon. The name of the movie they were watching was "Charlie Wilson's War". The name sounded a bit literary and artistic, and it seemed to be the direction.

However, this film was jointly selected by Jon and Sheila, and Li Chengming was just a "tool man" who provided movie tickets, popcorn, and happy water.

Jon likes Tom Hanks, Sierra likes Julia Roberts, and it just so happens that these two big names are the stars of this movie.

However, even these two box office magic bullets seemed unable to save such an unpopular movie, and the attendance rate in the screening hall was worrying.

Before arriving, Li Chengming specifically checked and found out that the investment in this movie is not small, but the box office performance is not optimistic. There are more than 2,000 theaters showing it, and the performance in a single theater is not as good as "Sweeney Todd", which has more than 1,000 theaters.

, the first weekend’s box office was less than 10 million, ranking only in fourth place.

Although the film has been popular during the recent awards season and has received good reviews, it has only proved once again that it is difficult to reconcile the tastes of film critics and ordinary audiences.

As an ordinary viewer who prefers popcorn, Li Chengming really doesn't like this kind of movie.

The same is true for Jon. Although he likes Big Tom, he prefers movies with a bright pace and upbeat tone similar to "Forrest Gump", or "Cat and Mouse" which is also a biographical movie but is more entertaining.

OK.

However, the main tone of the film revolves around the revelation of the Cold War, interspersed with some historical events from the perspective of the protagonist.

But Xie La was the one who watched it with the most gusto. Originally, they had reserved a private room, and the chair in front of Li Cheng was too crowded for him due to his famous figure.

But because of Xie La, even in the private room, Li Chengming and Qiaoen couldn't do their own things freely. He wasn't like Qiaoen yet. If he felt bored, he could go out for a breath of air. He might go out now.

You need to meet the staff who are conducting movie viewing surveys, and then conduct some kind of questionnaire survey.

If there is another news about what Magic star Li Chengming thought after watching the movie, I'm afraid the trouble will not be small.

So in the end, he restrained himself and stayed here, probably to accompany Xie La.

But gradually he calmed down, and after actually watching it, Li Chengming found the movie quite interesting.

This movie tells the story of the romantic congressman Charlie Wilson who used social activities to push the US Congress to support the anti-Soviet Afghan armed forces. I heard that it is adapted from a true story, but I don’t know how credible this truth is, and how much this adaptation is subversive.

.

After watching the movie itself, Li Chengming thought it was okay and not too ugly. Of course, this has to put aside the standpoint in it.

To put it bluntly, this is a bit like the main theme movie in the United States. It is more subjective to analyze a certain event from their standpoint and perspective.

For Li Chengming, who is nurtured by his father every day, it is too easy to see this, and this is also a trick that Hollywood has always used.

In this generally peaceful era, culture is the most terrifying invasion, and American culture, using Hollywood movies as its carrier, is conquering cities and territories around the world.

The domestic film market is under the influence of Hollywood. If it were not for the protection of domestic production and the introduction of quotas for imported films, I am afraid it would be crowded out and it would be ugly.

But in fact, after watching the movie, what impressed him most was not Tom Hanks or the big-mouthed female star, but another blonde actress. Looking at the cast list, it seemed that her name was Amy Adams.

He didn't have a deep impression of this name. He felt that she was not a particularly famous actress, at least in China, but she had a sweet and generous appearance and a pleasant temperament. The heroine also pales in comparison to her.

It was only after Qiaoen mentioned it after she came out that Li Chengming realized that this woman was actually the little nurse in "Cat and Mouse".

However, compared with that time, the role of the same actor in this movie seems to have lost its youthfulness, and his big wavy hair has a mature style.

When she got back to the car, Sierra suddenly looked up and asked: "Lee, you are so famous now, can you go to Julia Roberts and ask for an autograph?"

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "What are you thinking? Others are big stars, so who am I?"

Xie La held her cheek and looked at him and said, "I think you are also very powerful. All the girls in our class want to date you."

"Cough!" Jon on the other side immediately coughed lightly, and then noticed that both of them were looking at him, feeling that he was confused, so he could only laugh dryly and said: "It's nothing, let me get some air..."

Seeing him open the window, Xie La curled her lips, but forgot about what had just happened for a moment, and turned to discuss the movie itself with Li Chengming.

After all, it seems that Li Chengming has been watching it with her just now, so he must have been into it. After watching a movie that feels good, most people will always have a desire to share it and want to find a sense of identity.

However, Li Chengming only casually responded to her words a few times, which gradually made her lose interest in talking.

After a while, probably when her body was growing, it was a bit late, so Sierra gradually fell asleep, and it wasn't until she got home that Jon pushed her awake.

"Ah!" Xie La woke up and screamed first, then quickly glanced at Li Chengming, turned around, got out of the car and ran away, leaving Jon stunned.

I turned around and spoke to Li Chengming, but he chased after me inexplicably.

Li Chengming looked at the little water stain on his chest, thinking about the girl sleeping in his arms just now, and felt speechless for a moment, "Fortunately, I'll take a shower and change clothes later."

Well, he is still a child after all.

…

The next day is game day again, and it is also the first game of the new year for the Magic. The Magic will face the New Jersey Nets at home.

December's best player of the month has also come out. Although the Magic lost a few games last month, Howard still won the Eastern Conference player of the month thanks to his outstanding data and his record has been ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

Award, adding a new member to his trophy room.

At the same time, with back-to-back 20+ rebounds and a head-on victory over the Celtics, Howard once again won the Best of the Week.

Similarly, there is no suspense about Li Chengming and Durant's Eastern and Western Rookie of the Month awards, but Li Chengming is still ranked second in the latest rookie list. It seems that the league is determined to look at the average points per game data.

.

However, I don’t know if this game was affected by the "home court curse" again. Witnessed by more than 10,000 Magic fans, the Magic lost to the Nets, ending their five-game winning streak and ushering in the new year.

black.

Even CCTV commentator Yang Jian couldn't help but complain, "The fans of the home team must be very confused, because this season the Magic's winning rate on the road is much higher than at home. Including this game, they have lost 7 games this season.

Five games were lost in front of home fans."

And this game was even more dramatic. The Magic led for 3 quarters and even led by double digits at the end of the third quarter.

However, in the fourth quarter, the Magic players seemed to suddenly lose their ability to shoot. Li Chengming was double-teamed wildly, but none of the balls he sent out were converted into assists.

The 29% shooting rate from beyond the three-point line is desperate.

Bogans, who was the most accurate, made 3 of 6, but he only hit these three three-pointers. The others either made 1 or 0. Li Chengming missed two of his own attempts.

Of course, it would be okay if it was just like this, because before the main team came back, they still had a 5-point lead, and then the Nets started fouling tactics. As soon as the Magic started attacking, they immediately fouled Howard and sent him to a free throw.

Wire.

Howard made 3 of 14 free throws in this game and 1 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter, killing the Magic.

In the last half minute, Li Chengming received the ball from outside the three-point line and immediately provided a screen for Turkoglu. Turkoglu broke through and attracted defensive points. Li Chengming hit a jumper and led by 2 points.

With the last 6 seconds left, the Nets called a timeout and almost had a five-second violation when serving in the frontcourt. Carter came out to catch the ball and almost couldn't find a chance to make a shot, but in the end he forced the shot from outside the three-point line, and he actually hit it.

.

Carter made 6 of 17 shots in the game and 1 of 3 three-pointers. The only three-pointer he hit was the game-winner.

The Magic still had 0.8 seconds left, but obviously they failed to create a miracle. Van Gundy arranged a tactic for Lewis. He made a hit after catching the ball, but it was ultimately ruled invalid by the referee because time had expired before the ball was released.

Such a defeat is undoubtedly unacceptable, and many fans even stayed at the scene for a long time and refused to leave.
