Career-only Workplace Drama： Can ＂Ideal City＂ Achieve ＂Overtaking in Curves＂？

Author: a dead end

Reprinted source: a little drama reading (ID: yidianjd)

"The cleanliness of the cost table means the cleanliness of the project" and "All the time, is that right?" ….. When Su Xiao, played by Sun Li, said these words to his leaders and colleagues, the workplace drama door of the TV series "Ideal City" officially opened to the audience:

In the workplace ecology outlined by screenwriters Zhou Wei and Luo Hong, the heroine Su Xiao is no longer a "white workplace girl" with a golden finger and attached to a man step by step, and several waves of characters standing on the opposite side of the heroine also have their own calculations, instead of being a facelift "bad guy" who is mentally retarded and does not conform to the logic of the characters … The real, vivid and behavioral logic workplace side can be said to be a good impression for the early stage of the play; At the same time, the industry background with the construction industry as the entry point and the cost engineer as the entry point has also filled a blank in China’s workplace drama.

It can be said,"Ideal City" is quite stable in word-of-mouth level.Su Xiao, played by Sun Li, has the basic qualities of a "workplace employee" in terms of makeup and personnel design; The scene of old people in the workplace, led by Zhao Xiankun (Yu Hewei) and Wang Yang, fighting with young people and old cadres at the same level is more like a "career plan" full of philosophy.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes. In this regard, "Ideal City" has basically achieved the top level of the current reputation of workplace dramas in China. It is a pity that this "Magnolia Sky Group" starring Sun Li and composed of many old and new faces such as Mark Chao, Yu Hewei, YCY and Chen Minghao (note: Sun Li, Yu Hewei, Mark Chao and director Liu Jin all won or nominated Magnolia at least once) did not get off to a good start in the market.

According to relevant data, the average daily ratings of the drama have basically stabilized at around 0.41% since it landed on 8 sets of Oriental TV and CCTV on August 12th-the ratings of prime-time files are not as good as those of "Sweeping the Black Storm" broadcast on the same platform (CCTV 8) and slightly lower than those of the family drama "Dear Mom and Dad", which also makes the drama lose face slightly. According to the data of Guduo, the highest historical popularity of the drama is 67.25, which is far from the highest popularity of the drama "You are my glory" (88.67).

Can the follow-up of "Ideal City" be "supported"? Is this workplace drama based on China architecture worth watching? Does Sun Li still have the ability to "carry drama" after Empresses in the Palace’s "Settle Down"? It is worth exploring.

"career-only workplace drama",

The "core" of Ideal City is very hard.

　　

Although there are a large number of workplace dramas broadcast every year in China, there are few works that can really stand the assessment of the word "workplace". The last workplace drama that won unanimous praise from the public was "Ordinary Glory" with the situation of "applauding without being a hit", and the last one may be "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful" focusing on the entertainment industry and targeting the relationship between brokers and artists.

The final word-of-mouth trend of "Ideal City" may not be as 8 points as its predecessors, but it is well-deserved to wander around Douban 7.5. Focusing on the construction industry and taking the cost engineer as the entrance, this is an industry ecology of workplace drama for the audience in Ideal City. In this industry ecology, the audience can initially understand what a cost engineer is. The construction of a building, what manpower and material resources are needed, and how much preparation is needed in the early stage.

"The pile is reinforced concrete, but it is built by people’s hearts." Behind every high-rise building, the most complicated thing is often not professional skills and academic cost, but the untouchable relationship between people’s minds and workplaces. For this reason, in the story of Ideal, there are not only younger generations such as Su Xiao and Wu Hongmei, who have been in the workplace for several years, but also the "Xia Ming" generation, which has lost the edges and corners of their youth and is more stable and mature, and the older generation of leaders who are deeply hidden and seemingly harmless but are full of "small thoughts".

What "circles" these people together is a top-level domestic well-known private enterprise, Yinghai Group. The company is made up of Zhao Xiankun, Wang Yang, Huang Lilin and other old backbones. Today, it has become a large enterprise with five subsidiaries. Tiancheng, where Su Xiao is currently located, and Tianke, where Xia Ming is located, belong to this company, and they are also the two most competitive subsidiaries.

Judging from the 13 episodes currently broadcast, the audience saw at least three complicated career lines in the play. One is the personal career struggle history headed by Su Xiao. Su Xiao, who lost the qualification certificate of first-class cost engineer after taking the blame for his former company, faced with all kinds of scheming in the workplace, such as being unable to find a job, being blacklisted by the industry, being "hard-working" by the leaders, being excluded by colleagues and so on.

The other is from Su Xiao’s entry into Tiancheng Company, explaining the past of the two subsidiaries, and exposing the infighting between the leadership and the river’s lake grievances for more than ten years, which is also an important foreshadowing of the play; The last one is to introduce an "audit team". The parent company seems to trust the leaders of the two subsidiaries, but in fact it is suspicious and unannounced, which also highlights the real power arena behind the group … It can be said that "Ideal City" presents a real workplace arena to the public through the creative techniques of point to face and grass snake gray line.

This arena is not only full of bureaucracy and intrigue between the old school, but also full of "tactfulness" of the younger generation based on their own ideals. I’m glad,At last, the domestic workplace drama has an "attack" scheme in which all the pros and cons have online IQ. At the same time, the interpersonal science and the dark side of human nature involved behind the workplace are all full of it.

This is the "hard core" of "Ideal City", and it is also an important reason why the play is well received by the public at present.

Behind the "kernel",

"Ideal City" also has flaws?

　　

It is undeniable that "Ideal City" is not too badly hurt in the content creation level, and even shows "workplace scheming". However, in terms of professional knowledge, this drama is just like some previous workplace dramas, and there are flaws.

First pointed out by netizens,It is the responsibility of the cost maker, which is presented by Su Xiao shortly after the opening of the drama.It is understood that in the project, the cost engineer often has a series of management and budget investment responsibilities for the project, and does not have the problems of project quality and project payment presented in the play.

In addition, the 32-gauge horse stool, the white hat worn by the construction workers, and the contract department that was the first to be held accountable after the project collapsed have all been "accused" by netizens.The details are slightly distorted, which is a subtle flaw in the content creation level of Ideal City.

Secondly, it is the rhythm and theme of the play.In the first two episodes, Su Xiao, the heroine, went on stage. After experiencing an "accident storm", Su Xiao was used as a gun by her direct leadership and became a back-burner in this incident. Then, disheartened, she called her boyfriend who had been in love for many years, and raided her boyfriend’s workplace, only to find that she was derailed and her boyfriend was "engaged" with her immediate boss … Then, Su Xiao officially started her own career path and explored the "Politburo" behind the scenes of Yinghai Group.

This seemingly harmless and logical "career opening" also exposes the rhythm and theme problems behind the play. As we all know, because workplace dramas often involve group portraits, behind the complicated events, it also reflects the creative difficulties of this kind of theme, that is, how to simply explain the industry background to the audience and quickly catch the eye in the golden opening time.

At present, at this point, The Ideal City needs to be improved. This is also an important reason why the "opening" of the play is cold and it is not getting better in the heat level at present. Can it overtake in corners? Looking at it from another dimension, this may also be a ratings test for "Empress" Sun Li.

After settling down,

Can "Sun Li" reach the top again?

　　

In the public view, Sun Li really became a household name and a TV audience sister because of Empresses in the Palace directed by Zheng Xiaolong in 2012. At that time, the drama not only became the "explosion" in the TV drama market, but also made artists such as Ada Choi, Rulu and Chen Jianbin popular and became the first choice for TV stations and variety shows. Sun Li also got the "second bonus" of his career after this drama. This is another story.

Before Empresses in the Palace, many people may not know it.Sun Li has made many well-known TV dramas, and has been nominated for Magnolia, Hundred Flowers Award and other awards.She is the peace of mind wandering between relatives and enemies, affection and law in Jade Guanyin, the pure and kind cuckoo who loves the dance career in Happiness Like Flowers, and the actress with different images but great personal charm in many works such as Love is Air, Huo Yuanjia and New Shanghai Beach.

Sun Li was very spiritual and talented in acting in her early days. Many famous directors who worked with her, such as Ding Hei and Gao Xixi, praised her for her dedication and her personal performance charm.

("Happiness is like a flower")

Empresses in the Palace, the "explosive drama", elevated it to a brand-new level, and after welcoming the second spring of the career of married actresses, doubts followed. Once, because of legend of miyue, which is similar to Empresses in the Palace’s theme but not as good as the former, her and Tamia Liu’s performances in the play were once questioned by the audience as "overexertion"; The other time was "Anjia", which starred as a screenwriter in 1966 last year. This douban score happened to be on the verge of passing the exam (6.2 points), and it was also questioned by netizens about its ability to choose plays.

The audience is critical and tolerant. Just as these two films were questioned by the market, two works broadcast in Sun Li, "Flowers bloom and the moon is full that year" and "The Story of Hot Mom", played a mediating role. Sun Li’s position as "the queen of TV viewing" and "the first sister of domestic drama" in the drama market is unshakable.

The divergence point reappears, which is the "Ideal City" currently being broadcast.Su Xiao, played by Sun Li in the play, was accused by netizens of being slightly old and in poor condition. At the same time, her acting skills were also questioned. Can Sun Li still complete the myth of "carrying drama" in the past?　

At present, hope and disappointment are 50-50. First of all, the word-of-mouth of "Ideal City" is excellent compared with the same type of workplace drama; Secondly, judging from the plot, after the "content foreshadowing" of the previous episodes, the competition of the whole power field became more and more fierce, and there were several tipping points in the middle if the film was strong; Finally, and most importantly, workplace dramas are different from other types of dramas, and they often have more advantages in reflecting realistic topics. This is also the biggest "explosion point" in the follow-up of the play.

And advantages may also become disadvantages. After all, in front of the workplace drama headed by "Ordinary Glory", it is too divorced from the workplace background of public life, and it is difficult for ordinary audiences to get it. In addition, at present, the drama market is in the second half of the summer, and various platforms have made great efforts to "play", which has also distributed some audiences of the drama to some extent. This is the pity of the play.

However, no matter what the final result is, The Ideal City is based on "realism", and the principles of high-quality creation in the workplace are still worthy of recognition. After all, in developed countries headed by Britain and the United States, the creation of workplace drama has long been a mature type, but in China this kind of theme is just the "beginning".

5800 must buy! ？ Is tablet computer a must-have for ＂e-teaching＂？

CCTV News:Recently, Mr. Wang from Bengbu reported through the "internet plus Supervision" platform in the State Council that Yuying Middle School in Wuhe County asked each student to spend 5,800 yuan to buy a tablet computer, saying that it was necessary for homework and study.

At present, the local government has responded that Yuying Middle School has been ordered to immediately stop the illegal charging of students’ tablet fees, clear all the fees already charged, and dismiss the principal within a time limit.

On the social platform, the issue of "Bengbu No.1 Middle School requires students to spend 5,800 yuan to buy tablets" has caused many netizens to discuss. In addition to questioning the compulsory fees charged by the schools involved in the news, many netizens also expressed their concerns about the current e-teaching.

Student Homework: From "Handmade Age" to "Electronic Age"

"Now the ipad has become a must for primary school students’ homework, and it has to be used for homework and daily punching." Ms. Liu’s daughter is a third-grade primary school student. In order to facilitate timely communication with teachers, Ms. Liu has added four or five WeChat groups and nail groups. Last year, during the online class of the epidemic children at home, she had to "shuttle" her homework on WeChat group, nail group, APPlet and mobile app every day.

"When we were young, when we went to school, the teacher wrote the homework on the blackboard, and then we copied it into the notebook. Now the teacher sends the homework to the WeChat group, and we will tell the children what to do when they get home." Ms. Liu lamented that today’s primary school students’ homework has entered the "electronic age" from the "manual age".

As a head teacher of a primary school in Henan, Xiao Yangang heard many parents’ "complaints" in his first year of employment. "Many parents used their mobile phones to chat on WeChat and watch the news before, and some of them never used nails, let alone small programs." Xiao Yan introduced that, generally speaking, English and Mathematics will be arranged with online exercises after class.

(Parents of students in Xiaoyan’s class are punching in the circle of friends)

In fact, not only primary school students, but also more and more parents of preschool children have joined the "online education" army. Ms. Xiao, 56, spends her daily life attending classes with her granddaughter on the ipad. She laments that she has to learn to "punch in" when she is retired. In order to make her granddaughter "not lose at the starting line", Ms. Xiao’s daughter reported Dashan English and Little Spark Thinking AI classes to her granddaughter. Because she was worried that her children’s eyesight would be affected at a young age, Ms. Xiao would control her granddaughter’s "study time" within 20-30 minutes every day.

Does electronic teaching increase the burden? Parents and teachers disagree.

With the advent of the era of electronic teaching, social software such as WeChat, QQ, and various apps have become more and more frequent in primary and secondary education and teaching, and to some extent, they have even become inseparable ways and assistants for teachers.

In November last year, the news that a Jiangsu student’s parents sent a video angrily attacking the teacher for correcting their children’s homework and quitting the parent group quickly fermented on the Internet, causing public concern and discussion. Subsequently, the news that "children learn three courses and I am drawn into eight parent groups" appeared on the news pages of major media, and netizens expressed their feelings that "it only takes one parent group to crush adults".

In January 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones for Primary and Secondary School Students, requiring primary and secondary school teachers not to use mobile phones to assign homework or require students to use mobile phones to complete homework. Earlier, the Ministry of Education also issued a document clarifying that teachers should not hand over the task of correcting homework to parents.

In the eyes of parents who support the ban on electronic homework, the appearance of "electronic homework" has changed the boundary between teachers and parents about educational responsibilities and obligations, such as correcting homework that should have been done by teachers and manual homework that should have been done by students, and now all of them are passed on to parents.

Ms. Liu feels that compared with when her eldest daughter was in primary school more than ten years ago, the pressure of tutoring her younger daughter is obviously greater now. On the one hand, electronic products such as tablet computers have become the "standard" of primary school students, which has increased the financial burden of parents; On the other hand, parents also have to undertake more educational tasks. "Assigning homework through WeChat or App, in fact, the task is transferred to parents. Some of them have to correct homework for their children after a day’s work, which is really tiring." Like most parents, Ms. Liu is also worried that her children lack self-control and will be addicted to electronic products in the future.

However, according to Xiao Wu, a primary school English teacher in Hangzhou, in today’s mobile Internet era, it is impossible and unnecessary for education and teaching to exclude technology. She thinks whether to arrange "electronic homework" depends on the characteristics of the subject and the type of homework. "It is definitely more convenient to read and recite English and Chinese, especially oral English homework online."

Xiao Wu introduced that in her school, some physical education class’s training is also punched in through the APP. "Children write their own exercise content like a circle of friends, and then attach videos or pictures." Xiao Wu said that at present, parents are more supportive of this online and offline teaching mode. She believes that the Ministry of Education should take into account the characteristics of different subjects while introducing relevant bans and prevent "one size fits all" implementation methods.

Can a hydrogen fuel cell car be affordable？ Is it safe？ Experts tell you the answer.

　　CCTV News:In the development process of hydrogen energy industry, reducing cost and ensuring safety are two core concerns. In the face of this emerging industry, how to answer the public’s concerns? Let’s take a look at the answers given by the guests in the "On Tao" column.

　　Reduce industrial costs

　　Dong Yang, First Vice President of the World Automobile Organization and former Executive Vice President of China Automobile Industry Association:It is still more expensive than this gasoline car, even more expensive than the ordinary battery car. However, I will tell you that there is such a rule in automobile production. After you reach this scale of hundreds of thousands and millions, its cost will drop to one tenth of the original. Or this aircraft engine is the price of gold, and the car engine, with the same technology, is the price of cast iron.

　　Zhang Weidong, Director of Energy and Environment Project of the United Nations Development Programme:According to some experts, the cost of battery stack is 11,833 yuan per kilowatt now, and it will reach 668 yuan by 2025, which will be lower.

　　Dong Yang:Compared with the internal combustion engine, the fuel cell stack is basically a quasi-static or quasi-dynamic process, and many processes are very similar, but there is no reason to say that the stack must be more expensive than the internal combustion engine. Now it is only a matter of technical maturity and market capacity.

　　Zhang Xiaoqiang, Executive Vice President and Executive Director of China International Economic Exchange Center.To solve the cost problem of hydrogen production, if we don’t have a reasonable framework in terms of electricity price and so on, it may trouble enterprises for a long time, that is, the cost can’t be reduced. How can we have a reasonable electricity price system? For example, when using off-peak electricity, can we make it cheaper enough, so that large users can establish such a direct purchase and sale relationship, instead of adding this network fee through the power grid, resulting in high cost. Many aspects like these need government guidance.

　　For another example, we now attach importance to the utilization of hydrogen energy, especially hope that it can transform renewable clean energy, that is, water, wind and light. According to the characteristics of China, water, wind and light are concentrated in the southwest and northwest. Therefore, under the guidance of the government, we established a large-scale project in the world in the past. We called it "West-to-East Power Transmission and West-to-East Gas Transmission". Then, the next step is how to cooperate with this kind of energy and pipe network facilities in existing countries and explore in some ways. By participating in power transmission and gas transmission, and exploring new long-distance transportation of liquid hydrogen, for example, we can clean the energy in the northwest and northeast regions where energy is abundant. Apart from local consumption, because our main and most developed area is in the east, to solve these problems, I think many of them need the government to do a good job.

　　Safety standard operation

　　Guo Liejin, Academician of China Academy of Sciences:Everyone is very concerned about safety. When we were in primary school, our teacher would tell us that hydrogen would explode. The concentration of hydrogen, the concentration in space is 13% to 90%, and it is likely to explode between them. However, there is a premise for explosion. It needs to see an open flame with sufficient concentration. In Toyota and related enterprises, they all talk about the same car in their reports, which is a car filled with gasoline and a car filled with hydrogen. The chassis structure is the same. They do experiments. Under the premise of causing an explosion, the explosion of the gasoline car is completely destroyed, while the whole structure of the hydrogen fuel cell car is basically unchanged. Therefore, from this safety point of view, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are much safer than our diesel gasoline vehicles.

　　The US Department of Energy and NASA have also done the same experiment. A barrel of gasoline, a barrel of diesel oil and a barrel of liquid hydrogen are shot from a distance, and then various protective facilities are built around to see who has strong explosive ability. The damage degree of the hydrogen tank after explosion is less than half that of the first two tanks, which is between 30% and 40%. What is the reason? Because hydrogen itself is a very light thing, once it is released, it runs into the sky and you can’t find it.

　　I have a personal experience. In 1997, I started to build facilities for hydrogen energy research in my State Key Laboratory. At that time, I was also worried about safety. I installed explosion-proof facilities on all the windows of the laboratory, and put hydrogen sensitive elements called sensors at key points around me, and I debugged them myself. Then when the concentration reaches a certain level, it will call the police and the fan will directly discharge the things. But it’s been twenty-two years since this year, and it hasn’t exploded, even ringing.

　　We operate according to the rules. Don’t our gas stations have many rules? It is also dangerous goods. Why can we do it well? Hydrogen can also be done very well, and even its destructiveness is much smaller than the fuel we use now. So recently, several hydrogen refueling stations in the world have reported explosions, such as those in California, South Korea and Europe, but when you read its reports, the final result is that the harm to people is minimal. Moreover, it is not the explosion of the fuel body itself, but the auxiliary device, which is caused by irregular operation or irregular installation. So in itself, as an energy source, you can use hydrogen with confidence, but you must of course obey the rules.

　　Dong Yang:This safety mainly depends not on whether the fuel can catch fire, but on whether you have mastered the norms and whether human beings have mastered the laws. Therefore, we must pay attention to the safety issue, which is the top priority for us to develop fuel cell vehicles. It is to do it seriously, accumulate experience, solve it, and monitor it with the industrial chain and life cycle, which can completely solve this problem.

Al Jazeera reporter： I was detained by the Israeli army for 12 hours.

According to Qatar Al Jazeera, when the Israeli army raided Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip on the 18th, it detained several journalists who reported on the scene, including Ismail Gul, a reporter from Al Jazeera Arabic Channel. At present, the Israeli side has not responded to this matter.

Al Jazeera host: We have been reporting this all morning. Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Guler was beaten. He is working for Al Jazeera Arabic Channel. When Ismail was towed away, he and his colleagues were reporting on the Israeli attack on Shifa Hospital. Their satellite car used for news reporting was also destroyed by the Israeli army.

Witnesses said that Ismail was beaten by the Israeli army before being detained and then taken away. According to Al Jazeera’s report on the evening of 18th, Ismail has been released by the Israeli army. Ismail later recalled that he was detained in Shifa Hospital for 12 hours.

Al Jazeera reporter Ismail Guler: The Israeli army forced us to take off all our clothes and kneel on the ground. It was very cold. They made us put our hands behind our heads for about an hour, and then handcuffed and blindfolded us for 12 hours.

In a statement earlier on the 18th, Al Jazeera demanded that the Israeli army release its journalists and other detainees, saying that Israel "takes full responsibility for their safety".

Judy Ghinsberg, Chairman of the Committee for the Protection of Journalists, a non-profit organization: We firmly condemn the beating and detention of Ismail by the Israeli army and the detention of his colleagues. Journalists play a vital role in the conflict. They are our eyes and ears to record the events. The killing or detention of any journalist has seriously weakened our ability to understand the situation in Gaza.

7 am! Good news came from China football： Shandong Taishan made an important decision, and fans praised it in unison.

At 7: 00 a.m. Beijing time on November 3rd, the latest news came from China Football. According to the domestic media Jinan Times, next year, Taishan U21 team will participate in the 2024 League B in the name of Shandong Taishan B team, and this situation has also attracted the attention and discussion of many fans.

"Jinan Times" wrote: "Yesterday, the final stage of U21 League ushered in the penultimate round of competition. The top two U21 players in Taishan, Shandong Province had a direct dialogue with U21 in Shanghai Harbour.

In the end, Shandong Taishan U21 defeated its opponent with a score of 2-1, winning the U21 League championship this season one round ahead of schedule, and at the same time locking in the qualification for next season’s Chinese B League. "

According to the report of Jinan Times, Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province decided to let U21 team play in League B in the new season. Although the media did not disclose more information, the echelon of Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province was able to play in League B, which was not only good news for China football, but also attracted many fans’ praise in unison.

Some fans said: "Yes, we can continue to develop the U series league. The exposure of young players will increase and the development will be better." Some fans also said: "The youth training is well done. If there are 10 Luneng in China, it will not be so. At least Luneng has trained a large number of players such as Wang Yongpo, Han Peng, Liu Binbin, Zheng Zheng, Zhou Haibin, Wei Shihao, Xinghan Wu, Wang Tong, Fang Hao and Liu Yang. Only the Genbao base can compete with it. "

Of course, some fans said: "This is the real contribution to the national football. Some people in the comment area will say that Luneng has trained a few winners. Before asking this question, ask how many winners your home team has trained for the country. If you often pay attention to the leagues at all levels in China, you will find that there are countless players who have gone out of Luneng Football School. At least Luneng has done it and persisted for so many years, which is worthy of recognition! "

The Lakers renewed their contract for 186 million yuan in three years, which is a win-win situation! The team points out two major risks： the problem is not just injuries.

On August 5th, Beijing time, it was the first day Anthony Davis was eligible to renew his contract in advance. The Lakers quickly offered a three-year maximum salary of $186 million, and Davis readily agreed. In this way, the 30-year-old Davis’ contract with the Lakers was extended to five years, with a total value of $270.5 million.

This renewal ensures that thick eyebrows will play for the Lakers until 2028. After James retires or joins another team, Davis will become a new leader, and his three-year contract renewal will start from the 2025-26 season, with an average annual salary of $62 million, setting a new record for the NBA’s average annual salary.

This is a win-win contract.

Buha, the Lakers’ record, said that this is a win-win contract for the Lakers and Davis. The Lakers have ensured the stability in the next five years, and there is no need to worry that James will retire and Davis will jump out of the contract next summer, leaving them facing the disaster of the free agent market. At the same time, Davis also got a long-term contract guarantee. After all, if he didn’t renew his contract in advance and suffered serious injuries in the new season, it would be difficult for him to sign such a good contract.

This is the second time Davis has renewed his contract with the Lakers. After winning the championship in 2020, Davis signed a new contract with the Lakers for five years and 190 million dollars. At that time, Davis chose a long-term contract, but at that time, Davis waited for more than a week to complete the signing. This time, the two sides only reached an agreement in just a few hours.

This signing can be regarded as a victory for the Lakers. If Davis refuses the player option and jumps out of the contract to sign, the Lakers will spend more money.

If Davis didn’t renew his contract in advance, but waited until he became a free agent, he would be eligible to sign a contract of $304 million, which is $344 million in six years, including the new season, instead of $270.5 million in five years. There is a one-year difference of 70 million between the two. The Lakers renewed their contract in advance, and the final salary paid was lower than his top salary in the 2024-25 season, and the risk in the later period of the contract was reduced.

Thick eyebrows were very dominant last season.

Last season, Davis re-entered the top ten players in the league, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks in 56 games. His shooting percentage (56.3%) and real shooting percentage (62.7%) both reached career highs.

At the beginning of the season, there were signs that the Lakers were handing over the offense, or more broadly, the team to Davis. However, a complicated foot injury in mid-December made him miss 20 games in a row, and his offensive performance was also affected by the injury (28.1 points per game before the injury and 24.7 points per game after the injury). Nevertheless, after James tore his tendon in February, Davis tried to return as soon as possible and help the Lakers move on.

Davis in the playoffs, both offensive and defensive ends are dominant. In 16 games, he averaged 22.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.1 blocked shots, among which both rebounds and blocked shots ranked first in the league. In the first two rounds, Davis was the best defender in the league, but in the Western Conference finals, he was offset by Jokic’s offensive talent, but in four defeats, he still averaged 26.8 points, 14 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks.

More importantly, thick eyebrows played 47 of the Lakers’ last 50 games, including 26 consecutive games, which is his new record since the 2016-17 season.

There are two major risks in renewing contracts.

Buha pointed out that this contract renewal is not without obvious defects for the Lakers. The first risk is Davis’ injury history, and it has a long history. This is worrying for a player who will turn 35 at the end of his contract. There is enough evidence that he misses at least 15-20 games every season, while he has missed at least 26 games in the Lakers for three consecutive seasons, including at least 36 games in two seasons. Since the 2016-17 season, he has never played at least 65 games in a season.

The Lakers may find a way to manage his load, reduce his playing time, or let him play only one game back to back when he is in his thirties.

Another less discussed risk is the sharp decline of Davis’ outside projection ability. An important reason why the Lakers can win the championship in 2019-20 season lies in Davis’ impressive jump shot ability. In the second game of the Western Conference in 2020, his winning three points helped the Lakers beat the Nuggets.

However, since then, Davis’ jump shot percentage has been declining, especially the three-pointer percentage. From the data point of view, the number of three-point shots of Thick Eyebrows in these four seasons is decreasing, from 3.5 three-point shots per game in 2019-20 season to 2.8 in 2020-21 season, only 1.8 in 2021-22 season, and only 1.3 last season. The more inaccurate he is, the more afraid he is to shoot. During his time with the Lakers, Thick Eyebrows shot only 28.1% from three points, compared with 25.7% last season.

Poor shooting brings the problem of unstable attack with heavy eyebrows. This is also reflected in his performance in the playoffs is always ups and downs, sometimes good and sometimes bad. In the 2023 playoffs, his average score was only 22.6 points, which was 3.3 points lower than his average score in the career playoffs.

The Lakers will rely on him to recruit stars in the future.

Although it is risky to renew the contract, the Lakers have to do so because they can’t find a new superstar. Before James signed in 2018, the Lakers were trying to find a successor to Kobe. It was the signing of James that successfully attracted Davis.

Next, Davis will play the role of James to help the Lakers attract new stars to vote. When Davis is healthy, the upper limit of the Lakers is very high. They are one of the best teams in the league and have the ability to compete for the championship.

Looking forward to the future, Davis will be the pillar recommended by the Lakers to other future superstar partners. Brother Alphabet, Tatum and Mitchell may all become free agents in 2025 if they refuse the player option. At that time, Davis will be 32 years old. Although his status may have declined, he will still be an elite force at both ends of the offense and defense. If the Lakers can successfully attract another superstar to join them, their prospects will undoubtedly be bright.

Of course, for thick eyebrows, his fruitful cooperation with the Lakers will also lay his future position in this team. At least, there is no problem for his No.3 jersey to retire here.

Sending Fati away netted 30 million？ Barcelona made a lot of money in this deal! 4-year contract lock summer window No.2 sign

Barcelona has won the La Liga championship ahead of schedule, and the next focus will be to enter the summer window to build a lineup for the multi-line championship next season. Prior to this, Barcelona had already made the first signing of the summer window, and veteran defender Inigo Martinez of Athletic Bilbao was about to join freely, and the contract was formally signed after the end of the season. Earlier, the latest news came out, and Barcelona’s summer window second sign seems to have a look.
According to the Spanish Daily Sports Daily, Wolves midfielder Ruben neves is close to joining Barcelona, and he has negotiated a four-year contract with Barcelona. Ruben neves is going to leave Wolves this summer, and his next home has not been decided yet. But he hopes to join Barcelona very much, and has negotiated a contract with Barcelona, and his agent Mendes is trying to push the deal.
Due to financial difficulties, Barcelona will not pay a transfer fee to introduce neves, but seek to sign him through a player exchange. Mendes had previously tried to add neves to Fati’s deal, in which case Wolves would have to pay another 30 million euros. If Fati doesn’t agree to go to Wolves, Mendes will try to add other players to the transfer. Wolves are also interested in Aboud, and another player who may appear in the deal is Dester.
In addition, Italian legend Romano also confirmed that neves has reached an agreement with Barcelona on a long-term contract, and he is now waiting for the action of Barcelona.
Since busquets left the team at the end of the season, Barcelona will focus on strengthening the midfield this summer. And Kathy may leave the team, so there must be more than one midfielder joining Barcelona this summer. Fans who are concerned about the news of Barcelona’s transfer can also notice that the most rumored position in Barcelona has been the midfield for a long time in the past, among which the more famous players are Gundogan and recently kimmich. In addition, Amrabat in Florence is the number one target of this winter window.
So many goals, whether true or not, Barcelona has only one principle-cost performance must be high. Players’ ability should meet the requirements, and the transfer fee should be low and the salary requirement is not high. The transfer fee is too high for Barcelona to afford, and the salary requirement is too high for Barcelona to register.
Based on this principle, kimmich is the most difficult. With his core position in Bayern, worth 80 million euros, even if Bayern is willing to release it, the transfer fee will not be less than 80 million euros. Moreover, kimmich’s annual salary in Bayern is 20 million, which is beyond the current Barcelona.
Apart from kimmich, Gundogan is a good target, because his contract with Manchester City expires this summer, he can get a visa-free visa, and the players are willing to join at a reduced salary. According to the media, Barcelona intends to sign a 2+1 contract with the players, with an annual salary of 12 million before tax. However, it seems that Manchester City has not given up persuading players to stay with the team and is willing to extend the contract period. The latest news shows that Gundogan is inclined to stay in Manchester City. In addition, Harvey prefers Suvimendi of the Royal Society, but the player’s 60 million euros cancellation fee is too high and is basically excluded.
Therefore, although Harvey doesn’t like Ruben neves’s ability very much, he is expected to realize his dream of landing in the giants in this complicated situation. Because Ruben neves has already expressed the idea of leaving Wolves, after Wolves’ last home game, neves personally went to the sidelines and waved goodbye to Wolves fans. In addition, neves’s contract with Ming Xia expires, and it is impossible to renew it. Wolves must make a move this summer.
Based on the player’s wishes and the contract situation, Barcelona’s plan is to negotiate the contract with the player first, and then try to complete the transaction at the least cost. Both neves and Fati’s agents are Mendes, which is conducive to the smooth promotion of the transaction. Wolves have a close relationship with Mendes, and there will not be many obstacles. The key to whether the deal can be reached lies in Fati’s will.
Barcelona have put Fati on the list for sale, which the players can also feel. I believe that Barcelona’s top management will continue to exert pressure to force Fati to accept the reality of having to leave the team. He has been unable to play the main force in Barcelona, but with the fourth highest salary in the team, he has become a thorn in the side of the club’s top management. But Fadi got neves+30 million? If this deal can be made, Barcelona will make a lot of money.
