On the morning of November 1st, Jordan Peel and Michael Key arrived at Zach Randolph's doorstep with a film crew, ready to start filming for the day.

The last time I shot the short film "The Qualification of the Champion" with Curry as the main character, the post-production has been completed, and all the special effects, editing, and dubbing work have been completed.

Peel and Kee discuss showing the sample to Mr. Smart, and after they finish it, they are ready to post it on YouTube's account.

The Clippers media department has a special video account that publishes clips of games related to the Clippers, post-game interviews with players, and so on.

However, there are few followers and playbacks, after all, the Clippers have too few fans and passers-by fans, and everyone wants to watch the video to watch the Lakers, Kobe, or go directly to the NBA official account to watch.

What is there to see when you run to the little broken number of Los Angeles Clippers?

But Peel and Key believe that they can't make a documentary in the traditional way of spending a season, and in that case, it will not be profitable to make a name for itself and get a "good or bad" reputation.

What's more, with the level of documentary shooting of the two of them, it is a bit difficult to make people applaud, but making people feel interesting and funny is what they are good at.

Their strategy is to shoot funny short films while collecting documentary material, and upload a funny short film to their YouTube account every once in a while to make it into a series.

At the same time, with the life, work, and game routine of the Clippers players, it is also a short film with a duration of about 5-10 minutes.

Jordan Peele believes that by updating these short films, he can slowly gather popularity and gain enough attention.

By the time the season is over and the documentary is filmed, there may be a lot of fans looking forward to the full documentary.

Although Mr. Smart has made it clear that he doesn't need to make money, or even ask for a return on his capital, Jordan Peel still hopes that the documentary will get enough attention, and preferably some revenue, such as being bought out by Fox TV.

"I've shown the sample to Calvin, the sports director of Fox TV, and he thinks it's good, but one short film like this is not enough, we need more short films, and I think at least three will be made first."

In the car, Jordan Peel and Michael Key exchanged ideas, and judging by the feedback from the TV station, the idea was still interesting.

"What does Mr. Smart say there? He is our benefactor, and his opinion is the most important thing. ”

"Oh, Miss Ida messaged me last night, saying that Mr. Smart doesn't want to see it, and he supports everything we shoot, and he fully trusts it."

Jordan Peale spoke of Mr. Smart with a sense of respect in his tone.

It is so rare and rare to have such a generous and unfussy Party A.

In order to repay Min Congda's trust, Peel and Rebecca brought out the ideas and scripts at the bottom of the box to ensure that each short story was full of creativity and fit the characteristics of the Clippers players.

Randolph came out of his home after breakfast and joined Jordan Peele, who first showed them around his garage and displayed his collection of Chevrolet impalas.

Randolph deliberately picked the coolest green car and drove Kee and Peel to the training center.

There was no team training today, and after the fatigue of five days and four games, Dunleavy gave everyone a vacation to rest.

However, Randolph decided to go to the training gym to keep him in shape and to make it easier for the film crew to take pictures.

After arriving at the training center, Randolph saw a big black G parked in the parking lot, which was Curry's kid's car.

"Shet, Stephen's kid is here too, this guy will definitely be an All-Star in the future, trust me!"

Randolph spoke his prophecy to the camera of the film crew, and to be honest, his prophecy was a little conservative.

Entering the training center, Randolph first did a simple warm-up exercise and waited for his professional trainer to arrive at the center.

In order to survive in the brutal league, the big players in the NBA spend a lot of money every year to improve and maintain their form and enrich their skills.

After all, a salary of tens of millions a year is not so easy to get, you can't afford it, and a bunch of potential young people behind you want to take it, and they want to replace you.

Randolph's training focused on mid-range jumpers and low-post matchups under the basket, which he ate in the league and didn't dare to fall for a moment.

When Randolph was in full swing, Curry came out of the gym sweating profusely, saw Kee and Peel and the film crew, came over to say hello, and asked, "Hey two big directors, how is the film you made for me before?" Can I take a look? ”

Peel said: "Of course, we have already done the post-production special effects, and we have invited a famous Hollywood special effects team to do it." Although it is only a short dozen seconds, it is realistic enough and the visuals are superb! ”

With that, Peel took out his laptop and showed Curry the finished film.

In a short clip, Kee asks Curry what qualifies as the top pick, and Curry starts from the three-point line in the arena and shoots threes all the way.

Half court, bottom line, outside the stadium, on the road, in the park, at the top of a skyscraper, at the side of the statue of Magic Johnson at the Staples Center, the Statue of Liberty, the Great Wall, and finally into outer space!

Every time he shot, Curry hit accurately, but Kei was still asking, "What qualifications do you have to be the top pick!" ”

"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting, I haven't been to the Great Wall, how did you do it?"

Curry was very interesting to see himself shooting threes on the Great Wall, and the background was perfectly done.

Jordan Peele said: "We went on a business trip to China for two days to shoot the Great Wall. When you come back, combine the green screen with the picture of your shooting, and that's the perfect result. ”

Curry was surprised: "Just to shoot a shot of the Great Wall, you went on a business trip to China?" ”

Michael Keed: "Of course, Mr. Smart says to keep improving, and he doesn't care how much we spend. ”

Peel added: "I heard from Miss Ida that Mr. Smart knew that we were on a business trip to China to shoot, and he really appreciated that we were using our budget in the right place. ”

Curry smiled and said, "Mr. Smart has always been generous and has a spirit of excellence in everything, and he is very strict with our team. ”

"I heard Miss Ida say in front of President Stern, 'I'm a very strict person, especially to Curry'! So it's no wonder that every time we win, he never looks particularly happy, but worried. ”

'On the contrary, when we lose, he is always relaxed and reassures everyone that their morale will be damaged. He's such an amazing guy. ”

Jordan Peel and Michael Kee listened to Curry while recording the conversation, which will be released in a documentary later.

After chatting about the same, Curry was about to start a three-point practice with his trainer, and Randolph saw that Curry took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Hey Babyface, I heard that you practice very hard at the gym, do you want to come and fight me?"

"No, no, no! Let's still make a one-to-one three-point shot, how about a halfcourt shot? Whoever loses at noon please eat! ”

“OK！ No problem! ”

In the gap between training, the two came to a halftime three-point game, and the winner was of course Curry, and Randolph didn't mind, he just wanted to lose to Curry and treat the little guy to a meal.

At the end of the morning practice, Jordan Peel pulled Randolph to shoot his video clip, an "NBA post-game interview" themed film called "100 Percent."

"Zach, the short film is very simple, the theme is a post-race interview, in order to satirize the lack of vocabulary of some athletes. Later, the Foundation will pretend to be a reporter, and you're the player who doesn't have the vocabulary, and whatever question you ask, you'll say, 'We're 100 percent on the pitch', let's try it, okay? ”

"No problem, 100 percent fine."

“Goddamn！ You grasp it very quickly, Zach! ”
