As for the movie's title, Tang Tian had given it some thought. Munich Game-Winning Shot had exploded in popularity before; Beijing Game-Winning Shot would not work, but Wukesong Game-Winning Shot seemed fitting.
It would ride the popularity of basketball films and draw more interest from basketball fans.
Or it could be called Tang Tian Year, like the documentary Yao Ming Year.
Tang Tian's name alone was enough to draw attention, and it also summed up his performance that year.
But Tang Tian was thinking beyond this one movie, including Rio and possibly Tokyo the following year.
To put it plainly, this should be a basketball film trilogy.
He had even thought up the other two titles. The Rio one would be Men's Basketball: Daydreaming, and if there was a Tokyo one, it would be Men's Basketball: Defending Champions.
Like The Ring King series, the trilogy would let basketball fans forever remember that glorious chapter of history.
As for Tang Tian Year, that was another movie he had in mind.
Being an owner really was nice. He had time to think about things outside the court.
With a script and a title, he had everything the director needed. He would take it all back to China, and production preparations would begin right away.
And unlike the scripts he had written before, Tang Tian's ideas for this one were clear. The leads would be Shen Zijie, Yi Jianlian, and Tang Tian himself.
The filming could also be done separately, with parts of the latter half shot during the offseason.
If everything went smoothly, the film could even make it before next year's Olympics and catch the summer release window.
Two days later, the Pelicans and Spurs faced off at New Orleans Arena.
This game drew even more attention than the previous Pelicans
