Chapter 119: The power of capital

The Lakers got a two-day break after an arduous schedule of four days and three matches.
On November 2 and 3, the team did not play.
The fourth game will be on November 4th, also at home.
The team can temporarily relax.
The No. 2 team is on holiday. Li Liang plans to go to a fashion show with Zhu Shu and Wei Dazhi.
The ticket was given by Bai Xiaoting. She said that she had the clothes she designed and would appear in person.
Since she has said so, Li Liang of course has to give face.
Although he has no interest in fashion design or anything.
Before leaving, Zhu Shu received a phone call and told Li Liang after a conversation that the TWC TV station was looking for him and wanted to ask him to shoot a documentary this afternoon.
The "Behind the Lakers" program produced by TWC TV is on the air, and has been put into the fifth episode, and is preparing to start the sixth episode.
Li Liang took the time to watch this documentary, anyway, this is the situation of the Lakers on and off the court this season.
Interview the coach, interview the players, interview the general manager, and add some scenes.
After the training camp opened on October 1st, the Lakers started from the preseason and the team's situation every week.
Li Liang wanted to refuse because the media had ignored him since the start of the training camp.
Now they may realize the problem and take the initiative to find the door.
Zhu Shu persuaded: "Li Liang, I think you should still have a good relationship with the media. TWC TV is not a general sports media. They signed a broadcast agreement with the Lakers, 20 years, 3 billion US dollars."
In the summer of 11 years, Time Warner and the Lakers signed a 20-year huge broadcast contract of $3 billion.
Signing a broadcast contract with a team alone is the first time in the NBA, enough to see the huge influence of the Lakers.
That's why TWC will do this TV show and make more extensive publicity for the Lakers.
Wei Dazhi also said: "Yes, Li Liang, you can scold the president in the United States, but you can't offend the capital. The broadcaster is the big money master, which is different from scolding Bass."
Li Liang thought about it and thought Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu were right.
In the United States you can indeed scold the president, publicly, and casually.
Because the President of the United States is used for scolding.
But capital is different, you hinder the path of capital, they will make you disappear.
This is the real world of capitalism, and of course the NBA.
Here you can scold referees, coaches, bosses, managers, Stern, players and even fans.
But you cannot offend the capital forces behind the NBA. They are not a specific person or organization, but a collection of interests.
Such a collective has no morality, surrogates the law, removes all obstacles, and pursues privileges and interests.
There are two biggest capital forces in the NBA, one is a sports goods supplier and the other is a major broadcaster.
Broadcasters can influence how basketball should be played, and sporting goods vendors can influence who should play basketball.
Calm down and think carefully, Li Liang, agreeing with the two's views, should give TWC the opportunity to interview himself.
Since they take the initiative to find themselves, it means that the capital is calm, they don't care about face, only whether you can bring what they want.
"What about Xiao Ting's fashion show?" Zhu Shu asked.
"Isn't it about taking pictures of my daily life? My daily routine is to watch fashion shows."
So Zhu Shu called back to the production team of "Behind the Lakers" and said that Li Liang agreed to the shooting plan.
However, Li Liang will decide the shooting location.
The producer agreed to Zhu Shu's request. They originally wanted to take pictures of Li Liang's daily life and did not make deliberate arrangements.
At noon, Li Liang and his fellow producer Justin Williams met at a Chinese restaurant in Inglewood.
Williams is a cool-looking white man who feels like he is dressed up. This guy is engaged in literary work.
When he saw Li Liang, he greeted him warmly, shaking hands and hugging Li Liang.
After sitting down and ordering a meal, Williams went straight to the theme and said: "Uh, Mr. Bruce Lee, as the producer of the TWC "Behind the Lakers" show, I must apologize to you. In the previous shooting, We ignore you, this is a kind of disrespect to you. In fact, it’s more because we don’t know you enough, and we know too little about identity, origin, and growth experience. This kind of ignorance only makes We made a mistake."
Williams's apology is very sincere, he can't be sincere, and he has been scolded as a producer for these two days!
"Behind the Lakers" made a big response after the broadcast. This program went deep into the field and let more fans know about the NBA's greatest team.
However, the audience certainly wants to see what they want to see.
After the first three games, many fans can’t wait to learn about Bruce Lee, a new force from the mysterious China and the sudden rise of the Lakers.
Because of his poor relationship with the media and the suppression of Jim Bass, Li Liang barely appeared in the media.
So, everyone can’t wait to see how this guy is doing in his life, and why playing is so good and unique.
Especially Chinese fans, in the California area, Chinese and Asian fans are a large group.
As a result, as soon as the TV was turned on, five episodes passed, and there was no shot of Li Liang!
The audience was angry, writing letters, leaving messages online, calling the TV station, and giving their opinions.
"We want to see Bruce Lee!"
This is the unanimous voice of all the audience, they don't care what kind of grievances Li Liang and Little Bass.
In this state of his, the role on the court, and the cool and far-reaching three-pointer, that is, playing little Bass, the fans have no opinion.
Williams, who felt the pressure, immediately contacted Li Liang to hurry up to make up the content. The seventh episode will be broadcast soon.
The Lakers' three-game winning streak has increased the ratings of the show. If you can't see Bruce Lee again, the audience must have smashed the TV station.
Facing Williams' sincere apology, Li Liang chose to accept it no matter what his true thoughts were in his heart.
"I come from China. We Chinese people are more shy and passive in personality. We are not very good at taking the initiative to show off ourselves. We like to be low-key and like to work silently. This is our characteristic, so you are not neglecting me. Also because I accidentally hid myself."
Mother, after saying these words, Li Liang simply wanted to give himself 58 praises.
This both praised his low profile and gave Williams a step down.
The two sides took a step back and everything is fine and they can start cooperating.
So, Williams, Li Liang and his team, as well as the film crew, began to take daily shots from this Chinese restaurant.
In the afternoon, they went to the Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center together, where the Chinese-American costume designer Anna Su's costume design exhibition was held.
Li Liang silently put on Walter Fraser's cloak, took Williams and the film crew together, pointed at the clothing design exhibition, and gave a high opinion.
With his cloak, his aesthetic level has risen linearly, and he is very honest and insightful.
And from time to time, a few rumors appeared, extracting a few allusions, and let Williams take a look at him, not expecting Li Liang to not only play well, but also be very cultural!
Williams himself is also engaged in the art industry, the two have a lot of common topics.
Patting and patting, Williams suddenly came up with an idea, would you like to shoot a special feature for Li Liang?
He felt that in a short 20-minute TV movie, it was too little to give Li Liang 5 minutes.
He has a lot of things to dig up, and the audience must be happy to watch.
The craze created by Lin Madness last season is still vivid, which is an excellent viewing point.
Williams immediately exchanged this idea with Li Liang, saying that he could make a special feature for Li Liang after the sixth episode aired.
Li Liang thought about it and said, "If it can, can I start before the draft?"
Williams said: "Of course, this is the best, but there is too little information about you. But we don't have a time machine."
Li Liangdao: "I don't need a time machine, I have a friend out of interest~EbookFREE.me~ happened to record everything about me from the draft to the present."
Williams was overjoyed, this material is really great, the audience likes to watch the history of this unknown grow up.
Williams thinks that Bruce Lee is really serious. He might have decided that he will succeed before shooting such a thing.
Not only Li Liang, but in distant China, his hometown, a boss surnamed Ma, is doing the same thing. His plan is even earlier and longer.
As a result, Li Liang called Wei Dazhi and asked him to talk directly with Williams and make the documentary filmed by him available to TWC TV.
Hearing this good news, Wei Dazhi was happily unable to see the eyes on his face.
He was worrying about how to deal with a lot of video material.
On his own, editing, editing, and dubbing can't be done.
If it is given to TWC's production team, then his materials can be used to the best.
Not only that, Wei Dazhi will also get a lot of money as a reward for providing materials.
This result makes everyone very satisfied.
At this time, on the T stage, Li Liang saw Bai Xiaoting debut.
Although she is tall and tall, she can't be compared with the supermodel in posture and stage, but she is also a model and has a good aura.
And she is an assistant designer, wearing her own style of clothes.
Li Liang pointed to the stage and said: "That is also my friend. She, like me, is also a Chinese who is struggling in Los Angeles."
Williams nodded and asked the cameraman to take a good shot, which was exactly the theme he wanted to see.
But Li Liang's heart thought, Bai Xiaoting's clothes are not transparent at all, not much exposed, strangely shaped, really boring, boring.
