born basketball king

Chapter 494 Four Meter Giant
In a movie studio that was being filmed, Reese lifted the curtain and brought me and Zhang Zihan in. It was pitch black inside, but a basketball court had been neatly arranged.There are many photographers and cameras around the stadium, as well as props including pulleys and wires. Anyway, it is a live display of modern film technology.

No one paid attention to the three of us, but each was busy with his own business.Some people seem to be rehearsing the plot, some people are paying attention to the shooting situation in the field, and some people look like directors, and they seem to be talking to the actors.But I didn't feel nervous at all. Anyway, I came to make soy sauce, and I came to do a friend a favor.

Besides, Zhang Zihan and I have already visited the very distinctive landscape of Hollywood, so this trip is already very worthwhile. Whether the performance can be performed well or not, anyway, it is a temporary guest appearance, so I don’t think it is important.

Reese led Zhang Zihan and me to a chubby middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap. Reese whispered to us, "This is the director."

Then he smiled and said to the fat man, "This is the invited actor. He is over 2 meters tall and is a real basketball player."

This overweight Asian director wearing a director's hat looked like a native of R, and looked at me very modestly with his glasses on.His appearance immediately reminded me of Coach Anxi in the famous comic "Slam Dunk" in R's country. He has a calm and knowledgeable appearance.

He looked at me softly, and suddenly said: "Do you know what role to play?"

I said with a confused face: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it, is it playing an invincible basketball player, defeating opponents in various ways, and becoming a generation of basketball overlord."

My bad joke was not funny, Director Anxi didn't smile either, but continued to softly say to Reese next to him: "Tell him about the main scenes and the plot, we'll start filming later." After speaking, Director Anxi continued to stare at the camera, completely leaving us alone, as if what to do

Reese said "Okay!", took me and Zhang Zihan aside, and started talking to me.

Reese said with a smile: "The director is very busy, so he sent me to tell you. The specific content of the performance is actually very simple, just play a villain and then be defeated by the protagonist."

"It's inappropriate," I said in surprise, "My handsome and invincible image must be a decent performance, and it must be an absolute leading role."

"There's no such thing as an absolute starring role. It's a cameo as an extra. The leading role is our Jack, and it can't be you. You have to figure this out." Reese told me seriously.In fact, I know it's a temporary cameo, it's just a joke.

"Okay, I see. Then tell me how to act?" I returned to normal state.

"That's right, you are 2 meters tall, but you may play a 4-meter giant ultra-high athlete during filming."

"What do you mean? I don't understand!" I don't think the director team would directly stretch me to 4 meters by physical means, so I don't understand.

Reese continued to explain: "Our hero is actually only about 1 meters tall, but in the movie he plays a player who is nearly 75 meters tall, so in one episode he will meet a nearly 2-meter-high basketball player, or a giant monster, and then defeat this giant in a one-on-one duel. So in the performance, the basket may be lowered. Anyway, in the movie, you will have a super-high height of more than 4 meters. Can score easily. The end result is in a 4-point game, you're beaten 5-5 by the protagonist, and that's it."

"Ah?! Do you want me, a handsome guy, to play a monster?" I said in surprise, "Is this too exaggerated? Isn't the height setting of 4 meters too spoof?!"

"It's not a monster, it's just that it's very tall. The words I used just now may not be appropriate. Anyway, in the movie, the protagonist meets many strange people who play basketball, but they are all defeated by the protagonist in the end. That's it." Reese patiently explained the plot to me.

"Oh, it seems that it's better to be a leading role. You can always beat everyone, and a supporting role like me is always defeated by everyone." In life, I especially don't want to be a supporting role.

Zhang Zihan said with a smile on the side, partly to comfort me, partly to tell the truth: "It's good to be able to act, and I don't care about the protagonist and villain. As long as you are in the movie, I can still support you when I go to the theater later."

After hearing what Zhang Zihan said, I thought she was right, so I turned around and said to Reiss, "How long will the show take?"

"It should be edited in the later stage. Your role in the movie is about 3 to 5 minutes. Anyway, it is the kind that is quickly defeated by the protagonist. A few shots will do." Reese estimated the time of my appearance.

"What is the name of this movie, I forgot to ask you?" It suddenly occurred to me that I still don't know the name of the movie.

"This movie is called "Basketball God: The Deceitful King", isn't it sharp?" Reese said with a serious expression.

"Are you kidding me? It's like a horror movie or a science fiction movie. How can there be such a name?!" I said incredulously.

"Don't worry about the name, just shoot anyway. By the way, have you ever filmed a movie before?"

"Surely not! I'm an economics major, and I usually play basketball, so what's the point of acting?" I wanted Reese to ask an actor's self-cultivation.

Reese paused for a moment, as if he was thinking, and then said seriously: "Then let me give you a brief introduction. Anyway, after you play, the performance depends on your talent, but you only need to remember three points, and don't worry about the rest."

"One is to memorize your lines well, don't add spoken words and your own expressions, this is the skill of lines. That is, you can say what the director gives you, and don't add any of your own understanding. This is the most important point. The second point is that when performing, you have to forget about yourself, remember the emotions and background of the characters in it, and want to integrate into his life, not your life of Li Tianyu, so that you can play this super tall 4-meter player well."

"But I don't know what his inner life looks like?" I asked Reese's theory.

"Think about what you think he looks like. Therefore, different people will have their own expressions when playing this role, so this is the understanding of an actor. As long as you understand the psychological activities and feelings of a 4-meter player in your imagination, you will be a 4-meter player with Li Tianyu's style." Reiss explained to me quite professionally.
