I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 54

On October 2009, 10, after a four-month break, the new NBA season is about to kick off.

After a frantic preseason training camp, the Los Angeles Clippers returned to their positions before the start of the regular season, reported a 15-man roster, and are about to start the journey of the new season.

And their first game of the new season will be at Staples, but this night Staples is not their home court, but the Lakers' home court.

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

Min Congda woke up from the apartment at 7:[-] in the morning as usual, and started to prepare for work just like before he crossed.

"Others travel to fight monsters, cultivate immortals, start a business, solve crimes, and maybe even travel to play basketball. Why do I have to go to work after time travel?"

After complaining inwardly, after washing and dressing, Min Congda specially put on a bright yellow tie for himself today, and put on some hairspray to make himself look more energetic.

Because today's team documentary is going to be shot on his head.

Downstairs, Jordan Peele, Michael Key and the film crew were waiting for him. Seeing Min Congda going downstairs, the Photographers Union picked up the camera and started shooting.

"Hey, is the filming started now? Is there no script?" Min Congda asked.

"No, we just want to select some materials, let the audience understand the team from the perspective of the team manager, and lead them into the basketball world of the Los Angeles Clippers!"

Jordan Peele explained to Min Congda.

Min Congda nodded to express his satisfaction. He has seen such documentaries. A person starts to work, gets up early, washes up, takes a car, arrives at the workplace, introduces the work unit, starts to be busy, eats, solves problems at work, and at night, it is getting late. Going home, the night is dark, thousands of lights are on, and the day is over.

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

But if you want to make money from this and increase traffic, then don’t even think about it, most of the time you will lose money and invest.

I don't know how the two guys Peel and Kee spent 1000 million.

After getting in the car, Min Congda asked Jordan Peele, "How about it, is the 1000 million I gave you enough? Do you want to add more?"

Pierre quickly waved his hands and said, "Enough, enough, we haven't spent much of 1000 million, enough for our filming expenses for several years."

"What? Sufficient filming funds for several years? You can't spend money fast enough. Didn't you make this film well?"

Min Congda heard that 1000 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 1000 million, and make a film to pull it out.

The Americans don’t feel good about this. It’s going to be done in China. Just find an outsourced production company, take a few shots, find a few students to do post-editing, and integrate it. Wouldn’t it be finished?

1000 million US dollars, you share a little, he uses a little, and spends it in other names, puts it in his pocket, and the money is considered finished.

Not to mention 1000 million, [-] million will be cleaned up for you, and nothing will be left for you.

Feeling that Pierre still wants to make some good shots, Min Congda said while driving: "I have a whole season for you to shoot and produce, you should make good use of the 1000 million, put it into practice, the production must be excellent, and the money Spend it, understand?"

Both Jordan Peele and Michael Key nodded. This was the first time they had encountered such a generous party A. When they were filming some comedy works before, the producer strictly controlled the cost, and even cut a paper cup.

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

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

Arrived at the Staples Center, posed for a few more shots, had some conversations, and it was just normal, just a normal documentary.

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

As lunch approached, the group drove to the training center. Min Congda was going to the cafeteria for dinner, 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 photographed.

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

When the time comes, upload it to YouTube, and everyone will watch it for free, without earning any money!

"Haha, the 1000 million was spent anyway. And Beckham's nightclub lost a sum of money. I think Rosser's head has lost a lot of hair. The team's financial situation is not very good."

"Also, the team's pre-sale of tickets this year is not very good, only 70.00% of last year's, which is very good. The team's record is not good, the financial situation is in a hurry, the income and expenditure are not balanced, the cash flow is short, and they cannot be issued. Wages, aren't you heading 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 going bankrupt.

But they are just small stones on Kangzhuang Avenue, they can be kicked away with one kick!
When he arrived at the training center, Min Congda didn't bother to watch the players train. He went directly to the restaurant to drink coffee and cook a meal. After a short rest, he went to the training center of the arena to ride a bicycle and pull a barbell. He had to take good care of his body, the heroine of the United States They are all amazing, they can't beat them without a good body!
And Jordan Peele and Michael Key took the film crew to the stadium. They had already shot the shots of the training camp before, and today they came to shoot a short film shot.

After a period of preparation, Jordan Peele and Rebecca worked together to write a set of skits for the Clippers, with every player, including the coach.

Their idea is that serious documentaries need to be filmed, and the difficulty is not too great. The subject matter can be used at any time, edited and stitched in the later stage, and the theme can be added. It depends on the performance of the Clippers this season.

But to gain popularity, documentaries alone are not enough. A series of short plays must be added to attract the interest of fans and non-fans, and make them willing to learn about the Los Angeles Clippers.

These skits are planned to be placed on online platforms such as Youtube in the future, using the power of the Internet to spread and drive the traffic of the entire team.

The first short play that Jordan Peele tailor-made for Curry is called "Qualification to Be the No. [-] Scholar". Some time ago, he used Curry's spare time to shoot several shots.

I came to the training hall today to make up for the last shot. After shooting this short film, I am basically done.

After the training in the morning, the camera crew was waiting on the sidelines. Curry went to the locker room to change his clothes, and asked, "Are there any shots today? Come on, hurry up and finish the filming. We're going to play the game tonight."

After training in the morning, the team will choose to rest in the afternoon to reserve energy for the opening game in the evening.

Jordan Peele hurriedly said: "No problem, it's very simple, just two shots. Michael is the host, he will ask you 'Why did you become the No. look, take the ball to the three-point line and shoot. It doesn’t matter if you go in or not, the base will continue to ask you the same question, you still don’t speak, go to the midfield position to shoot. Then repeat, the bottom line position, to the bench, to the Outside the training hall..."

Curry said: "I see, before the outside of the Staples Center, and the shots on the top of the skyscrapers, this is a series, right?"

Jordan Peele said: "That's right, we shot shots on the green screen in the studio before, today is the last set, after the post-production, it's OK! We are going to send you to outer space to shoot three-pointers!"

Curry laughed: "This is too exaggerated, but I like it."

The shooting was successfully completed, and with the post-production, the first episode of "Basketball and Base" will be released soon.
