"Weakness...... How can weaknesses make the audience like, the audience likes the strong in competitive competitions. Kevin Tru was confused by Li Xiaole's words.

"Kevin~~ You're only half right, the audience likes the strong, but first they have to like the strong, if the strong guy is a talented guy, then they will only take him for granted." Li Xiaole shook his head and said:

"You have to look at those talent shows, those who are the most popular, not only because they are good, but because they have a touching story behind them, they were once weak and neglected in the corner, so that they have a brilliant performance now, so that the audience will cheer for them from the bottom of their hearts."

Kevin Tru listened and fell into deep thought, and after some ideological struggle, he felt that this idea was not bad, and finally nodded and said: "Okay~~ Li, you are the director, you have the final say." ”

Since the 1998 Finals reached a new high of 29.2 ratings, the ratings of the NBA Finals have been declining, and even dropped to the bottom of 9.1 percent in 07, and last year Li Xiaole served as a special commentator for the Lakers, until the Lakers won the championship, the ratings of the Finals rebounded to 18.1 points, and the ratings brought by Li Xiaole are real, and this time the marketing department can naturally only support the Chinese director.

After being recognized by the major leagues, Li Xiaole spent a whole week filming the training life of those stars, and he first selected some real shots from the past, which were very simple and not dunk highlights, and the shots of these stars losing the game.

After the defeat of the "Celtics" team in the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James shook hands, hugged and said goodbye to the opposing players...... The big palms, confused eyes, depressed walking posture, lonely back, and the conspicuous "23".

After O'Neal left in 07, he led Kobe Bryant alone, and when he was behind by 20 points against the Suns, he still insisted on playing until his ankle was injured, and he fell to the ground alone and wailed with his feet covered and wailing...... None of his teammates came to help him, and his eyes were so lonely and lonely......

There is also the scene in the 01 Finals, Iverson, who had 21 injuries all over his body, collapsed in the arms of center Mutombo after fighting one of the strongest combinations in NBA history "OK" alone...... Finally, there is a series of close-ups of players injured and their foot bones deformed......

Concentrate the real trials and failures of these stars in one issue, with sad music, so that anyone who watches will see that the success of the stars is all the hardships and all the effort, let them know that in the cruel competitive sport of the NBA, every winning player has suffered huge injuries, and every wonderful dunk shot is made of blood and sweat.

And in these real and touching real pictures, Li Xiaole mixed some fictional plots, he asked Kobe Bryant and James, Iverson, the top stars of the league, in the training room, to shoot a group of shots of his face pale with pain and tears in his eyes when he was training to stretch......

"Why am I filming this, we can bear it." Kobe Bryant, who is the number one star in the NBA, looked a little reluctant during the shooting, he didn't understand why he signed a non-disclosure agreement to shoot such strange shots, although the training was really painful, but they were used to it, so it wouldn't be so miserable.

A group of NBA players such as James and Iverson, whose muscles are like iron towers around them, also shouted next to them: "Tears are really too much of a sissy~" "When we train, it hurts a thousand times, and Lao Tzu won't even blink his eyes." "We're not those white girls who moaned without illness in America's Got Talent~~"

"That's your problem." Li Xiaole shook his head and said, as a director, no one understands people's hearts better than him, he looked at Kobe Bryant and these players, and said curiously: "Kobe, if I'm not mistaken, you have 15 old injuries on your body, right?" ”

"It's 17." Kobe Bryant looked up in correction.

"Then don't you usually hurt?" Li Xiaole asked.

"Sometimes it hurts...... Get used to ......" Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, and then unconsciously touched his shoulder, which had been dislocated twice.

"Iverson, you have 21 wounds on your body, don't you want to scream in pain when you train?" Li Xiaole turned his head and asked Iverson again.

"I can take it." Iverson, with his braided hair, shrugged his shoulders in disapproval.

"That's it~~ Your attitude is a big problem." Li Xiaole pointed at them and said: "You are not hard, you are a hundred times more fortunate than ordinary people, and ordinary little people are a little injured, a little frustration has already won the sympathy of the public, but even if you are injured all over the body, you are used to staying up in pain to train for the game~~."

In this way, over time, those viewers think that you should be like this, the audience thinks that James you are born with muscles, thinks Iverson your speed is because you are born with strong legs, thinks that Kobe Bryant your shooting feel is because your palms are bigger......

The audience doesn't know that you're going to the stadium at 4 a.m., that you're spending 10 hours a day on the court, that you're spending more time in the gym than they are in front of the computer playing social networks......

They only see the news that you were reported in the news to go to a nightclub, how many big contracts you get, and how many girls you slept with~~ I don't think it's fair, so I'm going to change their opinion. ”

Li Xiaole also glanced at these tower-like players when he said this: "Believe me, I am the director, I know what ordinary people are thinking, I am not making you panic, I just let them no longer be prejudiced against you, let them know the real you." ”

"I understand......" Kobe Bryant hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, and the other players looked at each other, and finally accepted Li Xiaole's statement, after all, this is not just a promotional video, if Li Xiaole shoots well, it can also enhance their image in the hearts of fans, which is closely related to their value.

"Alright then, Kobe, you go do the bench press now." Li Xiaole commanded Kobe Bryant to get on the fitness equipment, Kobe Bryant lay on the equipment, holding dumbbells to do bench press, while frowning and looking at Li Xiaole next to the camera lens: "Add some weight, or I won't be in pain, it's best to make my shoulder hurt." ”

"This is filming TV, who will come for real...... Do you think that if you shoot, you really have blonde chicks for you? Li Xiaole patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder, causing the players around him to laugh.

"Now that you relax, you imagine that your loved one has passed away, how do you feel? You have to really think about it, you have to dig into the pain in your heart. Li Xiaole guided him.

Kobe Bryant is just a player, although he usually pretends to be an interview, but when he wants to act, he still doesn't shine, he closes his eyes and thinks about it, just gritting his teeth and pretending to be very "uncomfortable", but in fact it looks like he is constipated......

All the players shook their heads, and some couldn't help giggling, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but sit up angrily and said, "No, I can't do it~!" ”

"Don't worry Kobe~ Trust me, do you know montage? I'm a master of montage, right away. Li Xiaole comforted him and shouted to his assistant: "Michael, get some eye drops, let's do it again, just like just now." ”

Then Kobe Bryant could only lie back helplessly, holding the barbell and "painful" again, he himself felt that the acting was too bad, and when he was a little self-defeating, Li Xiaole shouted: "Okay!" "A thumbs up to Kobe Bryant" is very good. ”

"Lee, why don't we do it again...... I don't think it's real enough this time, I can do better. Kobe Bryant got up and demanded perfection at the same time, he is such a person, if he doesn't do it, forget it, once he makes up his mind to do it, he must do his best.

"No, it's good enough." Li Xiaole made a simple edit on the digital camera, and then played the sketch cut in front of Kobe Bryant and said, "Let's see how the effect is first." ”

James, Howard and other stars also came over, and the light near the camera was dim when these tall players came around......

Everyone watched the picture played on the monitor, first of all, Kobe Bryant's real injury, he fell to the ground wailing, and then there was the street scene of Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning, Kobe Bryant, who was soaked in sweat, wiped the sweat on his face with his hands, while practicing shooting in the basketball hall, interspersed with Kobe Bryant gently roaring during the bench press, close-up from the clenched lips, to the trembling tip of his nose, until his eyes were about to come out of "pain" tears...... Every picture is stunning......

A group of NBA stars couldn't help but be fascinated...... I said "wow" in my heart, this film is really infectious.

Kobe's stiff performance just now was dismantled by Li Xiaole with a close-up shot, which was completely like a real "pain", which made people feel that Kobe Bryant was enduring the pain, and tears were flowing down in pain during the insistence on training.

"What's the matter, I didn't call it just now......" Kobe Bryant himself couldn't figure it out.

"Pair it with the rest of the film, plus you were hurt and moaning in pain, slowing down the sound frequency a little bit, and that's the effect." Li Xiaole explained with a smile: "The same picture can be processed with different materials to give people different emotional effects, which is called montage." ”

Wow...... The players opened their mouths slightly when they heard this, and with a soft exhalation, the muscular James directly hugged Li Xiaole's shoulders and sighed again and again: "Li~~ You are simply a fraud genius~!" I don't trust those things on TV anymore~~......"

"Otherwise, how do you think Jordan filmed "Space Jam"." Li Xiaole smiled and clapped his hands at everyone: "Okay, they all come one by one, strive to get it done today, we have to use real sportsmanship to inspire those little lazy~~"
