"Weakness...how can the audience like weaknesses? What the audience likes are the strong men in competitive competitions." Kevin True was confused by Li Xiaole's words.

"Kevin~~You are only half right. The audience likes the strong, but first of all, they have to like this strong man. If this strong man is a talented guy, then they will only take him for granted." Li Xiaole shook:

"You should watch more talent shows. Those most popular people are not only because they are strong, but because there is a touching story behind them. They were once weak and neglected in the corner, so that they now have a brilliant and brilliant performance, so that the audience will cheer for them from the bottom of their hearts."

Kevin True heard this and fell into deep thought. After a struggle of thought, he felt that this idea was good, so he finally nodded and said, "Okay~~ Lee, you are the director, you have the final say."

Since the 1998 finals reached a new high of 29.2% ratings, the NBA Finals' ratings have been declining, and by 2007 it even dropped to a 9.1% bottom. Last year, Li Xiaole served as a special commentator for the Lakers. Until the Lakers won the championship, the ratings of the Finals have rebounded to 18.1 points. Li Xiaole's ratings are real, and this time the marketing department can only support this Chinese director.

After being recognized by the major leagues, Li Xiaole spent a whole week shooting the training life of those stars. He first selected some real shots from the past. Those shots were very simple, not a collection of dunks, and these shots of these stars failing in the game.

After the "Celtics" defeated in the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James shook hands with the opponent's players, hugged, and said goodbye... those big palms, confused eyes, depressed walking posture, lonely back, and conspicuous "23".

After O'Neal left in 2007, he led Kobe alone. When he was against the Suns, he was 20 points behind, but he still insisted on playing until his ankle injury, and fell to the ground alone and covered his feet and wailed... No teammate came to help him, with the loneliness and loneliness in his eyes...

In the 2001 Finals, Iverson, who was injured 21 times, fell into the arms of center Mutombo after fighting against one of the strongest combinations in NBA history alone... Finally, there was a close-up of the moment when the player was injured and the foot bones were deformed...

Focusing the real hardships and failures of these stars in one episode, coupled with tragic music, anyone who watches will see that the success of the stars has gone through hardships and put in all their efforts, letting them know that in the cruel competitive sports of the NBA, every winning player has suffered huge injuries, and every wonderful dunk shot is made up of blood and sweat.

In these real and touching real scenes, Li Xiaole has some fictional plots mixed with. He asked Kobe, James, Iverson, and the top stars of the league to shoot a set of shots in the training room where he was in pain and his face was pale and tears in his eyes when he was training for stretching...

"Why do I have to shoot these things? We can stand it." Kobe Bryant, the number one star in the NBA, seemed a little reluctant during the shooting. He didn't understand why he had to sign a confidentiality agreement. Although the training was really painful, they had long been used to it and would not be so miserable.

James and Iverson, whose muscles were like iron towers, were also shouting from the side: "It's so sissy to shed tears~" "We hurt a thousand times more when we train, and I won't even blink my eyes." "We are not the white girls who whine without any illness in the American Got Talent Show~~"

"This is your problem." Li Xiaole shook his head and said. As a director, no one knows people's hearts better than him. He looked at players like Kobe and said curiously: "Kobe, if I remember correctly, you have 15 old injuries on you, right?"

"It's 17 places." Kobe raised his head and corrected.

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

"Sometimes it hurts... I get used to it..." Kobe was stunned, and then unconsciously touched his shoulder that had been dislocated twice.

"Iverson, you have 21 injuries on your body. Don't you want to shout when you are training?" Li Xiaole turned around and asked Iverson again.

"I can hold it back." Iverson shrugged his shoulders, disagreed.

"That's it~~Your attitude is a big problem." Li Xiaole pointed at them and said, "It's not that you are not working hard. You are a hundred times more grateful than ordinary people. Ordinary little people are injured and have a little setback and have already cried and moaned to win public sympathy. But even if you are injured all over, you are used to suffering from pain to train and compete~~

After this, over time, those viewers thought that you should be like this. The audience thought that James, your muscles were born, Iverson, your speed was because you were born with strong legs, and Kobe, your shooting feel was because your palms were larger...

The audience has no idea that you will go to the stadium for training at 4 a.m. every day, you will spend 10 hours on the stadium every day, and you will spend more time in the gym than they will play social networks in front of the computer...

They only see the news that you went to nightclubs by the news, how many big contracts you got, how many girls you went to bed~~ I think it was unfair, so I want to change their views."

When Li Xiaole said this, he also looked at these players like towers: "Believe me, I am the director, I know what ordinary people are thinking. I am not asking you to panic, but just let them stop being prejudice against you and let them know the real you."

"I understand..." Kobe hesitated for a while and finally nodded. 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 the fans. This is closely related to their value.

"Okay, Kobe, you go to bench press now." Li Xiaole directed Kobe to the fitness equipment. Kobe lay on the equipment, holding a dumbbell for bench press, and frowned at Li Xiaole next to the camera lens: "Put up some weight, otherwise I can't get out of pain, so my shoulders will hurt."

"This is shooting TV, who will really come... Do you think there is a blond girl for you when shooting porn?" Li Xiaole patted Kobe's shoulder, which made the players around him laugh.

"Now you relax, imagine your relatives passing away. How do you feel? If you really think about it, you must dig out the pain in your heart." Li Xiaole guided him.

Kobe is just a player. Although he pretends to behave during interviews, he still doesn't make sense to act. He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, but he just gritted his teeth and pretended to be very "discomfortable", but in fact he looks like he is constipated...

All the players shook their heads, and some people couldn't help but giggle. Kobe couldn't help but sit up in anger and said, "No, I can't do it~!"

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

Then Kobe had to lie back helplessly, holding the barbell and "in pain" again. When he felt that the acting was too bad and he gave up on himself, Li Xiaole shouted: "Okay!" He gave Kobe a thumbs up and instructed him, "very good."

"Li, why don't we do it again... I don't think this time is real enough, I can perform better." Kobe stood up and asked for perfection. He is such a person. If he doesn't do it, he must do his best once he makes up his mind to do it.

"No, it's good enough." Li Xiaole briefly edited on the digital camera, then played the grass-cut film in front of Kobe and said, "You can see how the effect is."

James and Howard also came over. The light near the camera was dim as these tall players surrounded him...

Everyone looked at the scenes played on the monitor. First, there was a scene where Kobe was actually hurt. He fell to the ground and wailed, and then there was a street scene in Los Angeles at 4 a.m., sweaty. Kobe was wiping the sweat on his face with his hands while practicing shooting in the basketball court. In the middle, Kobe was roaring softly when he was bench pressing. The close-up ranged from his clenched lips to his trembling nose, until his eyes were "painful" tears were coming out... Every scene was shocking...

All the NBA stars were fascinated by the sight... They all said "wow" in their hearts. This film was really contagious.

Kobe's stiff performance just now was taken apart by Li Xiaole in close-up. It was completely like a real "pain". It made people feel that Kobe was enduring the pain and tears were in pain during persistence in training.

"What's going on? I didn't call me just now..." Kobe himself was a little confused.

"With other videos, and you moaned in pain before, slow down the frequency of sound a little, and then this is the effect." Li Xiaole explained with a smile: "The same picture can be processed through different materials to give people different emotional effects, which is called montage."

Wow... the players opened their mouths slightly as they heard it, and a light cry. The muscular James hugged Li Xiaole's shoulders directly and sighed repeatedly: "Li~~You are simply a fraud genius~! I no longer believe in those things on TV~~..."
