On October 27, 2009, after a four-month break, the new NBA season was about to begin.

After a period of preseason training camp, the Los Angeles Clippers returned to their full squad before the start of the regular season and reported a 15-man roster to start the new season.

Their first game of the new season will be played in Stamps, but this night Stamps is not their home court, but the home court of the Lakers.

In the first game of the season, the Clippers will challenge the big brother of the city and the defending champion Lakers, which is really a huge challenge for the small broken boat.

Min Congda woke up from his apartment at 7:30 in the morning and, as he had done before the crossing, began to prepare for work.

"Others travel to fight monsters, to cultivate immortals, to start a business, to solve cases, maybe there are people who travel to play basketball, why do I have to go to work when I cross over?"

complained in his heart, washed and dressed, today Min Congda specially put on a bright yellow tie for himself, and also smeared some hairspray to make himself look more energetic.

Because today's shooting of the team's documentary is going to shoot him.

Downstairs, Jordan Peele, Michael Key, and the film crew were waiting for him, and seeing Min Congda coming downstairs, the Photographers Union took the camera and turned on the shooting mode.

"Hey, is this starting to shoot? Don't have a script? Min Congda asked.

"No, we're just going to take some footage and take the audience through the team from the perspective of the team manager and lead them into the basketball world of the Los Angeles Clippers!"

Jordan Peel explained to Min Congda.

Min Congda nodded and expressed satisfaction, he has seen this kind of documentary, a person starts to work, gets up early, washes, takes a car, arrives at the place of work, introduces the work unit, starts to be busy, eats, solves problems at work, and then at night it is late, go home, the night is vast, the lights are on, and the day is over.

This kind of documentary, if it is shot well, will have a good reputation and become a good material for social research.

But if you want to make money and increase traffic with this, you don't even think about it, most of it is to lose money.

I don't know what happened to the 10 million spent by Peel and Kee.

After getting in the car, Min Congda asked Jordan Peele, "How is it, is the 10 million I gave you enough to spend?" Do you want to add more? ”

Peel hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's enough, we haven't spent much on 10 million, it's enough for us to shoot for several years." ”

"What? Enough money for several years of filming? You can't spend money at this speed, haven't you made this film well? ”

Min Congda heard that 10 million can be spent for several years, how can I have the spare time to wait for you to build it slowly, hurry up and spend the 10 million, make a film and pull it down.

This American doesn't feel good in this regard, this has to be placed in China, just find an outsourced production company, shoot a few shots, find a few students to do post-editing, integrate it, isn't it finished?

$10 million, you divide a little, he uses a little, packages it under other names, spends it, goes into his pocket, and the money is finished.

Don't say 10 million, 100 million will be cleaned up for you, and nothing will be left for you.

Feeling that this Peel still wants to shoot something well, Min Congda said while driving: "I have a whole season for you to shoot and produce, you have to make good use of the 10 million, use it well, make good production, and spend the money, understand?" ”

Jordan Peel and Michael Kee both nodded, it was the first time they had met such a generous Party A, when they filmed some comedy works before, the producer strictly controlled the cost, and a paper cup had to be picked.

This time I met Bole, I have to work hard!

On the drive to the Stamp Center, Michael Kee asked Min Congda a few questions, and we had some conversations.

When I arrived at the Staples Center, I posed for a few more shots, did some dialogue, and everything was normal, just the kind of ordinary documentary.

Arriving at the office, under the guidance and leadership of Ada, the film crew filmed the daily office of the Clippers, Min Congda's office, and his 2K shots......

Near noon, the group drove to the training center, Min Congda was going to eat in the cafeteria, and the film crew could also take pictures of the players' training.

Min Congda thought to himself, isn't this thing just a running account, who wants to see it when it is filmed.

Except to satisfy fans' curiosity about NBA teams, no one will pay to watch this.

When the time comes, everyone will watch it for free, and they won't make a penny!

"Haha, the 10 million was spent anyway. And Beckham's nightclub lost a lot of money, I think Rosser has a lot less hair on his head, and the team's financial situation is not very good. ”

"Also, this year's ticket pre-sale of the team is not very good, only 70% of last year's, very good, the team's record is not good, the financial situation is urgent, the income and expenditure are unbalanced, the cash flow is short, and the salary cannot be paid, so don't you rush towards bankruptcy?"

Thinking of this, Min Congda felt that the future was still bright, and those small setbacks before could not change the final outcome of the Clippers' bankruptcy.

It's just a small pebble on the broad road, and you can kick it away with one kick!

Arriving at the training center, Min Congda didn't bother to watch the players train, went directly to the restaurant to drink coffee and dry rice, and then went to the training center of the stadium to pedal the bicycle after a while, pull the barbell, and take care of their bodies.

And Jordan Peel and Michael Key went to the stadium with the film crew, they had already shot the training camp footage, and today they came to shoot a short film.

After a period of preparation, Jordan Peel and Rebecca worked together to write a set of skit scripts for the Clippers, which every player has, including the coach.

Their idea is that a serious documentary will be made, and it is not very difficult, the subject matter can be used as you like, the post-editing and splicing, and the theme can be added, depending on how the Clippers perform this season.

However, to make a name for themselves, it's not enough to be documentary, but to pair it with a series of short dramas to attract the interest of fans and non-fans alike, so that they are willing to learn about the Los Angeles Clippers.

These short dramas are ready to be placed on YouTube and other online platforms in the future, using the power of the Internet to spread and drive the traffic of the entire team.

Jordan Peel's first tailor-made skit for Curry, called "Qualifications to Be the Champion", took advantage of Curry's spare time to shoot several shots some time ago.

I came to the training hall today to make up for the last shot, and the shooting of this little short film is basically completed.

After the morning practice, the film crew was waiting on the sidelines, Curry went to the locker room to change his clothes, and stepped forward to ask, "Is there any more footage today?" Come on, hurry up and finish shooting, it's time to play in the evening. ”

After training in the morning, the team will choose to rest in the afternoon to restock their fitness for the opening game of the evening.

Jordan Peel hurriedly said: "No problem, it's very simple, just two shots." Michael is the host, and he'll ask you, 'Why did you become the top pick in the draft?' And then it will give you a close-up, where you don't have to speak, make a disdainful face, take the ball and shoot beyond the three-point line. It doesn't matter if you score or not, Kei will continue to ask you the same question, you still don't speak, go to the midfield position to shoot. Then repeat, to the baseline position, to the bench, to the outside of the training hall......"

Curry said: "I see, outside the Stamp Center, there was a shot taken on the top of a skyscraper, it's a series, right?" ”

Jordan Peel said: "That's right, we also shot on the green screen in the studio before, and today is the last group, and it's OK to finish the post-production!" We're ready to send you to outer space to shoot threes! ”

Curry laughed, "It's too much, but I like it." ”

Filming was successfully completed, and with post-production, the first episode of "Basketball & Kee" is about to be released.
