Chapter 1925 Reason, Sensibility

Inside the theater at Madison Square Garden.

The 2007 NBA draft is about to begin, and the theater is already full. Some team managers and players coming to participate in the draft are sitting in the seats below. The draft will be broadcast to 202 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV in the United States. live streaming.

Ye Feng, Li Liang and the team's manager Presti were also sitting below.

Before entering the venue, Ye Fenggang and Li Qingmei talked on the phone and agreed to let the Hilton Hotel settle in the Xiulancheng complex in Dongcheng. At the same time, they also promised to create Lanshan Cinema Brand Company to settle in Xiulancheng in Dongcheng after returning to China.

This is not just Ye Feng's impromptu idea. When Jingke Pictures was established, Ye Feng had already thought of establishing a film joint-stock company. Once Lanshan Cinema reaches a certain scale, it will have the right to speak in the film industry.

Because in the film industry chain, theaters and theaters play a very important role. The fact that they can get nearly 57% of the film's net box office revenue is secondary. The main thing is that it controls your film schedule.

In other words.

No matter how good your movie is, if you don't schedule movies for you, you won't get anywhere at the box office.

If your movie is not well made, if you increase your film scheduling rate, your box office will be high even if it is not high, because there are no other movies to watch, so you can only watch the movies that are scheduled.

The most important thing is that Ye Feng can promote the film schedule produced by Jingke Pictures without any scruples. There is production, content output, publicity, publicity, and Lanshan Video as the finishing touch. The cultural industry value of Lanshan Group cannot be imagined. It is difficult to create a chain effect.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish Lanshan Film Co., Ltd. after returning to China.

Just when Ye Feng was thinking about these things, Li Liang suddenly touched him and pointed in a direction. Ye Feng turned his head and looked over, and saw Yi Jianlian in a suit and a white peaked cap sitting there.

And Yi Jianlian happened to be looking at Ye Feng.

Yi Jianlian's entry into the NBA draft after Yao Ming was a very big news in China, and Ye Feng acquired the SuperSonics and became the only Chinese owner of 30 teams in the NBA league, and also has the second overall draft pick. The attention is very large.

There are also many whimsical people who will interview Yi Jianlian and ask Ye Feng, who holds the second overall pick, whether he will choose him.

Yi Jianlian is actually quite troubled. He and the US media have evaluated and predicted his draft position, which is probably between 9th and 17th. At the highest point, Sportsnet rated him third.

This is also his highest draft projection.

The first one is Oden, the favorite for the No. [-] pick, the second is Durant, and the third is his turn. The Sonics' pick is second, which means it's either Oden or Durant.

Therefore, according to common sense, the Sonics would not choose him anyway.

But people are animals full of beautiful fantasies. Although Yi Jianlian is self-aware, reporters repeatedly told him that Ye Feng is also Chinese, and with Yao Ming's success, he might be regarded as a Chinese. Yi Jianlian couldn't help but be a little shaken by choosing him.

Does this possibility exist?

Yi Jianlian didn't know, but he had fantasized about it and expected it. In fact, he was quite unwilling to play with those black and white people, but there was a Chinese owner and he was happy to play for the team.

Ye Feng really admired Yi Jianlian, because after Yao Ming retired, Yi Jianlian was the supporter of the national basketball team, so when he saw Yi Jianlian, he looked over and nodded to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian also smiled and greeted.

"Mr. Ye, what does he mean by nodding? Does he want to choose you?"

Yi Jianlian's agent also saw this scene. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask about Yi Jianlian.

"I don't know, let's wait and see."

Yi Jianlian was a little upset and very nervous for a while. He didn't know which team he would be selected in this draft.

……

After Ye Feng and Yi Jianlian nodded, they looked at the draft list in their hands again. There was nothing he could do about Yi Jianlian, and the Sonics only had the second pick in the first round.

There are no picks in the second round.However, in addition to Oden and Durant, there are still several very good players in this draft, such as Gasol, Horford, Conley, Jeff Green, Noah Thaddeus Young, etc.

……

Soon, the draft began.

Ye Feng also put down the list in his hand and looked at the stage. Trail Blazers general manager Pritchard walked to the stage and made his choice in front of ESPN TV cameras.

The same as the trajectory of history.

Pritchard selected Grady Oden on behalf of the Trail Blazers.

The second pick went to the SuperSonics, Ye Feng's team. Ye Feng originally planned to ask Presti, the team's general manager, to announce the SuperSonics' choice. But what he didn't expect was that when it was the SuperSonics' turn, When choosing who was the second player, the cameras were all on his face.

Ye Feng's figure also appeared on the big screen.

It has also appeared in many countries and domestic draft live broadcasts.

Because Ye Feng is not an ordinary person now. In addition to being very well-known in China, he is also very well-known in the United States. Especially Ye Feng has just completed the acquisition of Hilton Hotel Group in New York not long ago, and the listing of Lanshan Group , and the acquisition of the Sonics.

Therefore, Ye Feng is very well-known in New York and is also a very topical person. Ye Feng's appearance in the camera can also increase the attention and popularity of ESPN TV.

They all lowered their heads and whispered, discussing Ye Feng's deeds and name.

Ye Feng remained as still as the wind, pretending that nothing happened.

It wasn't until General Manager Presti walked onto the stage that the camera moved to Presti again, and everyone's eyes suddenly moved to Presti.

Not only domestically, but also many people abroad are also speculating whether this rich Chinese man will choose Yi Jianlian with the second overall pick.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze all of a sudden, especially the Chinese outside the camera, Yi Jianlian, who was already sitting at the scene, was so nervous that he could hear his own heartbeat.

Presti also felt the solemnity of the scene, then cleared his throat and made the supersonic choice on behalf of Ye Feng.

Durant.

The Sonics' second overall pick, the second overall pick, was Kevin Durant, the future league's Grim Reaper. This was also the original trajectory of the Sonics' selection, and Ye Feng did not interfere.

And it is the same as the development trajectory of history.

Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks with the sixth overall pick in a very cold and unpopular city.

As for the subsequent draft, Ye Feng doesn't pay much attention to it. For him, in this draft, he only cares about three people. One is Oden who has failed to show his talent.

Then Durant.

Then Yi Jianlian.

However, due to the presence of Durant, Ye Feng was destined not to choose Yi Jianlian, so after the draft, Ye Feng got up and left without accepting any interviews, nor did he falsely say some polite words to Yi Jianlian.

no need.

It may even offend people, but there is nothing you can do about it. Human hearts are like this. Not everyone will be able to understand you. Put aside emotions and follow reason.

"I'm back now."

On the way, Ye Feng, who was sitting in the car, called Wen Yueqi.
