The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 462 [Documentary of the Hungry Wolf Couple]

In addition to high income, NBA players also have long vacations. If the team's record is not good, they can freely arrange their lives from mid-April to early September.In this way, there are still many NBA players dissatisfied with their salaries, which caused the league to shut down last year.These greedy players don't know that there are many people in this world who go to work all year round, work 4 to 9, and work hard to survive. After working for 40 years, they don't even have a pension. Put out a smile to show that you are very happy.

During the long vacation, some NBA stars will choose to find a part-time job that is fun, profitable, and can increase their popularity. Radio stations also like to ask them to do programs during the offseason.For example, the "big shark" O'Neal back then.

In the year he joined the Cavaliers, O'Neal cooperated with ABC Television to launch a reality show series called "Shaq Come Challenge".

At that time, O'Neal chose many sports stars to compete with them publicly in their respective fields, including swimming with Phelps, playing tennis with Serena Williams, and boxing with De La Hoya. Challenge the quarterback Roethlisberger of the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers, the combination of women's sand volleyball Olympic champion Triano and Wallish, and the WWE free wrestling champion member White. The challenge ended in failure.

But everyone understands that the original intention of this program is not to let people see how versatile O'Neal is, but to see how the most entertaining stars in the NBA perform.And "Big Shark" did not disappoint the audience. When he wrestled with White, he actually knocked his opponent off the stage; in the matchup with the Olympic champion of women's sand volleyball, O'Neal even released "If you lose, put on your clothes" before the match. Walk ten miles down the street in pink swimming shorts"...

Not all NBA stars can do creative part-time jobs like O'Neal's. More people choose to conservatively cooperate with sponsors for their summer jobs, and come to the Far East, especially China, to do odd jobs for a few days.

Of course, there are also people who will take the initiative to invite NBA stars to do shows and make movies.The famous female director Kim Snyder took a fancy to Ye Feng and his wife and came to visit.

Kim Snyder, an award-winning documentary filmmaker and co-founder of the BeCause Foundation, has produced a series of socially conscious documentaries that use the power of film to inspire philanthropy. The original three films in the BeCause Foundation film series, Alone Without Love, The Next Bridge, and Over Midnight, have won numerous awards and spawned a movement in the United States that has given a major boost to The work of those social reformers that the film focuses on.Kim was also selected by the U.S. State Department's 2009 "American Documentary Showcase" project as a civilian ambassador to a designated country for a film exchange project.

Now she wants to shoot a celebrity documentary about Ye Feng and his wife. It doesn't take very long. It only needs to shoot some details, add a lot of editing and post-production, and it can be completed. It is a movie between a reality show and a documentary.

There are many reality TV shows in the United States, and the ratings remain high. Kim Snyder is not the first director to come to him.Ye Feng wanted to politely decline, and said: "Jin, you know I'm an actor who plays tickets, and I want to take a break this holiday. I'm afraid reality shows are not suitable for us."

Kim Snyder said sincerely: "You don't need to perform deliberately, as long as you perform in your true colors. You have led the Clippers to achieve extraordinary achievements. Many people want to know how you got to this step. Don't you want to take a step?" Do documentaries commemorate the past?"

Ariel asked: "What is the specific content of this movie?"

Kim Snyder smiled and said: "The script includes remakes of some classic love movie clips, with you as the protagonists, and then interspersed with many street shots of your lives, details, and friends' evaluations of you. I want to use this film to tell people, There is also true love in the world of stars."

Ye Feng was also a little interested, and asked: "Can you let us read the script?"

Kim Snyder said seriously: "Of course, many people envy your marriage. After watching the movie "An Encounter in the Wishing Pool", I hope you can make more romance films, but you don't have time. Now I want to show it to people. Something more real, after reading the script, you will be satisfied."

The two of them read the script, and it was really interesting. It included real life, funny remake movie clips, and invited Hollywood stars and NBA stars to make cameo appearances. To evaluate them was to tell about Ye Feng and Ariel from a special perspective. The story of the acquaintance, the communication on and off the court, breaking NBA conventions and finally creating the Clippers dynasty.The prominent theme is that sports stars are not all bad guys in life, but also have particularly loving and enviable couples.

The filming of this film is also good for the image of the NBA.Of course, there will be some negative examples to compare with them, and that is the post-editing of the crew.

The divorce rate in the United States is very high, and the NBA is even higher. Because of this, it gave the director inspiration.
Tonya Young Williams was once the wife of an NBA star. She told reporters at the beginning of the year: "Marrying a basketball superstar means enduring surveillance, lies and infidelity. Therefore, Vanessa decided to marry the Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. The news of Bryant's divorce came as no surprise to women like them in the know."

Tonya has spent much of her adult life on the sidelines, rooting for her former college sweetheart and later husband, NBA star Jason Williams, as he shines in front of a national audience.The two met for the first time as freshmen at St. John's University, and they fell in love like a fairy tale together.Jason has all the advantages that Tonya expected: handsome appearance like a movie star, quick wit, and elegant temperament.Unfortunately, with the NBA's huge wealth, fame, and glamorous life sweeping in, the husband's advantages are simply not enough to ensure that the couple can be happy as before.
Tonya filed for divorce in 2009 after her husband's years of domestic violence, aggression convictions and endless DUI charges.She said: "Every woman who walks on the wedding red carpet thinks that her marriage will last forever. If she marries an outstanding husband, her life will be as happy as a dream. But for all the changes after marriage, including her husband's You will always be caught off guard when you change. After your husband becomes famous, everyone around him says he is great and perfect. As a wife, you just have to obediently praise him. It won’t take long for conflicts to erupt.”
Vanessa, the famous star wife in Los Angeles, seems to have endured for a full decade before the conflict broke out.Although Kobe gave Vanessa a shiny purple diamond ring weighing 4 carats as an apology gift for his discredit and facing a trial, the superstar's cheating behavior never stopped.
The wife of an NBA star said: "Kobe was very scared after the Colorado case, so he stopped for a while. But everyone knew that he was still behind Vanessa's back. Vanessa knew it well. , Just pretending not to know. The reason is very simple, the ex-wife cannot accompany her husband on the sidelines of the game. It is not just a matter of money, but as a player's wife, you can get huge attention and benefits from the stadium."
Whether it's an ordinary player or a superstar, as long as you become their wife or girlfriend, you can get more than just a high-priced seat ticket on the side of the court.As one NBA player's wife puts it: "It means you get to try out the coveted Chloe handbag, the Christian Louboutin shoes, and get your face in the weekly tabloids every now and then. So much so." So, what can a woman ask for?"

20 years ago, the wives and girlfriends of NBA players were not paid attention to at all.No one cares who a player is married to or dating.But now as long as a woman dates an NBA star once or twice, she immediately becomes a star.This world is amazing.

In this day and age, reality shows featuring the unhappy lives of the wives of basketball, baseball and football stars never seem to satisfy audiences, and many stars sue their ex-wives for it.And the Bryants' divorce just added a touch of sultry color.After getting used to seeing the dark marriages of players, the directors also wanted to shoot something positive, and Ye Feng and Ariel were the best choices.

Ariel has been bored at home for a long time and wants to go out to have fun. Making a documentary is a good choice.She asked, "Honey, how about we shoot it? It looks good."

"Everything is up to you." Ye Feng agreed, he didn't want to be bored at home all the time during such a long vacation.Taking advantage of Ariel's health now, it's not bad to go play, the two are still very interested in making movies.

The next day, the two went to the crew to meet with the screenwriter and staff, and learned about the filming process and the script in detail, and signed the contract when they saw that there was nothing offensive to them.

It was easy to shoot. This is not a big 3D movie that is very particular. Even the script is very casual. It can be completed in about 20 days, and the rest depends on post-editing.Ye Feng's plan of taking time to practice shooting and dribbling every day remains the same, but he does it after work is over.

This is a documentary film belonging to the two of them. Many friends, teammates, and Hollywood stars will comment on them, interspersed with some small life fragments, recalling the process from acquaintance to marriage, not only the audience wants to watch, Ye Feng and Ai Lier also wanted to keep it as a souvenir.There are many videos of the two on the Internet, from the street shooting when they first met, to the later holding hands, public flirting, and the videos of the two doing a couple challenge program at Disney.Having been together for many years, they are already old couples, and they are no longer as passionate as before. After watching these, they also regained some of the old feelings.

It was a fun, novel idea, and Americans love novelty.
