At twelve o'clock, the recording of the program officially started.
"The King of Backboards" draws on successful men's team talent shows in the form of variety shows. A basketball court was built in the studio, but at the beginning of the program recording, all the basketball stands were blocked, and only thirty seats were left on the north side of the venue.
Thirty seats are divided into three groups, not by age, but by the positions of forward, center, and defender.
Each contestant walked into the studio in turn and chose their own seat to sit down. Each player can comment on other players, they can blow rainbow farts, or they can talk trash (but the content that is too trash can’t pass the review, and will be silenced).
In the later editing, this section will be matched with the one-shot clips of each contestant, which will be interspersed and edited together.
All players will play in random order by drawing lots. The first to appear was a tender-faced child with a furry moustache on his lips. He was startled by the dazzling lights in the studio, and he shrank his neck and ran to the seat.
The staff next to him hurriedly stopped him, pushed him back to the court, and asked him to introduce himself first. Only then did he let out an "ah", standing back under the spotlight with hands and feet, and bowed to the camera to say hello.
These kids were obviously making a fuss in the background, but when the recording actually started, they were so nervous that they couldn't even speak. Some contestants bowed their waists and buried their heads, and the two-meter tall man almost shrank into a one-meter-five dwarf, appearing to be timid.
On the second floor of the studio, a high-altitude studio was temporarily built. There is a whole monitoring wall and glass on both sides. The staff standing in the studio can see the situation in the studio as long as they bow their heads.
The studio is not very big, with more than 20 staff crammed inside, so many people are almost impossible to get down.
Xing Fei crossed his legs and sat on the sofa in the corner, watching with interest the busy scene in the director's room.
"It's funny," he thought. "Is this how TV works behind the scenes?"
Xing Fei has a successful career and has been interviewed before. It's just that he has been sitting in front of the camera before, and this is the first time he has sat in the studio, seeing so many cameras at the same time focusing the pictures they captured on the director wall in front of him.
Xing Fei looked at Yang Xiao, who was at the front of the crowd. She was standing behind Zhou Hui, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were fixed on the changing small screens.
She was concentrating, writing and drawing from time to time with an ipad in her hand. Zhou Hui occasionally turned her head to her side and whispered to her about work.
Yang Xiao didn't know that when she was concentrating on her work, a pair of eyes full of evil thoughts fell on her. Xing Fei's eyes seemed to be dripping poisonous water. He licked her over and over again with his eyes, imagining that she would surrender to himself...
The girl shuddered, and the tip of the electronic pen paused on the iPad.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Hui asked her, "I wrote down everything I said."
"Not yet." Yang Xiao hurriedly cheered up, got rid of the strange feeling on his body, and continued to work hard.
The program process has long been organized into documents, and all staff have one copy. Yang Xiao uploaded the document to the ipad in advance, and now the edges of the screen are all occupied by lines and picture patches of various colors.
Zhou Hui was very satisfied with her work attitude and wanted to train her as a successor.
Zhou Hui walked to the glass window, lowered his head and looked down, only to see that one-third of the players were sitting on the bench next to the stage. She shook her head: "This can't be done. The program progresses much faster than we planned."
Yang smiled incomprehensibly and asked, "Is the program going fast? This means that our work is going well."
"The main content of the first issue is the introduction of the players on stage. They are all amateurs and have no experience in dealing with cameras. They leave the stage after a few words. Everyone else is sitting on the chairs without any reaction at all. It is cut out like this. I can’t ask for the movie.” Zhou Hui patiently explained it to Yang Xiao, then immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed the staff downstairs: “Tell the art management, the next player to play is to find a smart and talkative contestant, Liven up the atmosphere on the stage."
A rustling voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Art management received it."
Two minutes later, a new figure appeared on camera.
It was a tall young man with a gibbous waist, straight and stretched shoulders, not shrugging his shoulders, not shrinking his neck, not burying his head, exuding a confidence of winning from his bones.
His face was full of smiles, like a little sun rising in the studio.
He stood in the middle of the field, four cameras pointed at him, and ten pairs of eyes from the stands were watching him.
"Hello everyone, I'm Meng Yufan." He had a bright voice and a bright smile. "I'm 23 years old this year, studying at Hwaseong University and working as a small forward. Before I came on stage, the staff specifically told me to say more. In other words, the atmosphere is heated, just like the atmosphere group in the bar. I thought to myself, what kind of atmosphere group is it, to put it bluntly, it is nursery."
"I said I wouldn't stir up the atmosphere, and they told me that I could talk about my hobbies, specialties, etc., but I looked and saw that everyone is good at hands and feet. ."
There was a good-natured laughter from the seat.
Just looking at his height, Meng Yufan, who is 1.96 meters, is indeed not the tallest among the players. His wingspan is 2.01 meters, which can be called "specialty", but there are many people in the show who have better statistics than him.
Meng Yufan thought about it sideways, and suddenly said: "But I have a little bit of expertise, I guess everyone can't match it."
Immediately someone asked, "What's your specialty?"
He proudly said, "My girlfriend and I have been in love for a long time!"
"How long was it? Five years? Ten years?"
Meng Yufan raised his head: "Half a year!"
"... Half a year is still a specialty?"
"How come half a year is not a speciality?" Meng Yufan said deliberately, "I know a senior who has to change his girlfriend every time he plays a ball!"
The whole place laughed.
Everyone could guess who Meng Yufan was talking about. After all, there is only one player in the CBA who claims to have "more girlfriends than fans".
In the VIP lounge in the background, Feng Xiang gritted his teeth and watched the big screen, the trash talk in his heart was enough to stop the show.
Wait for a while to fight in groups. Even if Feng Xiang jumped from here and fell to his death, he would definitely not be able to join the dead boy Meng Yufan! !
…
In the studio on the second floor of the studio, the staff who were guarding here were also amused by Meng Yufan.
He is a person who is favored by the camera. His facial features are straight and handsome, and his eyes glow from within. The cameraman shoved a few close-ups in, climbing up from his long, straight legs and finally landing on his muscular arms.
"He's a good seedling." Zhou Hui nodded with satisfaction, flipping through the list of appearances in his hand, "This is 'that' Meng Yufan, right?"
When she spoke, she glanced at Yang Xiao at the end of her eyes. It was obvious that she had long known the relationship between Meng Yufan and Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao was a little shy and a little proud.
Yang Xiao asked, "Can this be broadcast?"
Zhou Hui asked back: "What can't be broadcast? Not only should it be broadcast, this part can be directly cut into the pilot trailer."
When they were discussing, Xing Fei had been sitting in the corner of the room. His eyes fell on the diamond ring on the girl's left middle finger - it was too small and too inconspicuous.
Xing Fei didn't know who her fiancé was, but he could only give away such a small diamond, so he must be a poor man.
…
Twenty-seven players came on stage one by one, and after introducing themselves, they found their seats and took their seats.
Thirty seats are divided into three groups, each with a "throne" at the top. Each "throne" has a special decorative pattern to distinguish it from other ordinary seats.
The players have already learned in advance that this show will invite three current CBA star players to join, but who is the show team who has been selling out, saying that they want to give everyone a surprise.
And now, it's time for the surprise reveal—
In the limelight, the first player walked out with his head held high in the white smoke. This is Yakefujiang, a minority player from the Great Northwest. He has thick curly hair, sunken eye sockets and a high nose bridge, with a strong interracial style.
The only minority players in the CBA are phoenix and water chestnuts, and he is a very rare center. As soon as he played, he aroused a warm welcome from the audience.
Yakefujiang walked to the "throne" in the center area and sat down. The centers below him were all happy and crazy, and regretted not bringing the autograph book into the studio.
Yakefujiang has a low-key and reserved personality and is not good at socializing. After the program team picked up a few scenes, they quickly invited the second contestant.
"—Fuck, it's Ding Man!!"
"The show team is awesome, even Brother Huaji can invite you!"
"Brother Huaji is awesome!! CBA's strongest defender!"
"Fuck you, Ding Man bumps into anyone he sees on the field, so he can be called the strongest defender?"
"Fuck, Ding Man's fans are barking again, and he doesn't even look at the statistics after the game. He fouls the most every game."
"Just fucking barks, Brother Huaji is awesome. He averages the most three points per game, okay?"
As soon as Ding Man appeared, the whole place exploded.
There are players who like him and admire him, and naturally there are players who dislike him and hate his small moves on the court.
However, the controversy of the contestants is a good stimulus to the ratings of the show. The more fierce they quarrel, the more gunpowder the show will be, and the more the audience will like it.
The copywriter asked worriedly: "Mr. Zhou, do you have to silence all these swear words?"
Zhou Hui pondered for a while: "Not only do the dirty words need to be silenced, but the tattoos on Ding Man's arms are also mosaic... Immediately ask Fuhua to prepare a set of flesh-colored ice silk sleeves, put them on directly, or cover them with a thick layer of foundation. ."
Everyone: "… "
Hearing this, Xing Fei, who was sitting in the back, suddenly interjected: "Isn't it necessary? Ding Man, a player, has tattoos as one of his distinctive features. If he covers up his tattoos, wouldn't it be too common?"
Zhou Hui seemed to remember that the sponsor was still there, she turned her head and glanced at him, and said coldly, "Mr. Xing, you are the sponsor, I don't understand the business issues; I'm the producer, you don't understand the program issues. Now Radio and Television The gap is getting tighter and tighter, my first goal is to successfully finish filming the show, pass the review, and star, if you want to make an opinion, go to the radio and television."
Xing Fei: "..."
Yang Xiao was stunned, Teacher Zhou is awesome! Teacher Zhou slay! Refuting the sponsor face to face, this momentum is that the producer will have.
In the studio, the debate about Ding Man has heated up.
The group of young players were all straightforward, and they started making noise in front of Ding Man. But Ding Man, who was caught in the center of public opinion, seemed to have not heard it at all. He swaggered to the seat of the rear guard and sat down, with his legs open and his arms on the back, his sitting posture was full of provocation.
He glanced contemptuously at the group of players, and some of his admirers rushed up and stretched out their arms to shake his hand. He waved the other's hand lazily, with no respect at all.
Ding Man is angry - the order of appearance of the three "kings" is in order of appearance from low to high.
He thought that he was the strongest defender in CBA active duty, and with his sponsor Xing Fei behind him as support, he would definitely be able to play in the finale. Who would have thought that the program team actually ranked him second!
Why
Ding Man is narrow-minded, and he cannot tolerate others being stronger than him. He was arranged to play second by the program team and felt that he had been greatly humiliated.
And the one who squeezed him out was...
"—It's awesome, it's actually Feng Xiang!!!"
There was an uproar. In the next second, players one after another stood up and gave a standing ovation.
In the cheers, the big screen at the top of the basketball court appeared on the big screen of Feng Xiang's game clip, rebounding and attacking, three-point jumper... He is a well-deserved MVP!
Although Feng Xiang's private life has been criticized by countless people, his quality is beyond doubt. Some people say that when he retires, he will enter the sports bureau, and some people say that the team will keep him as a manager...
Feng Xiang enjoyed the lights and the applause. He walked out from the cheers of the crowd, and only two people in the audience were indifferent to his arrival.
One is Ding Man, who is full of resentment, and the other is Meng Yufan.
The contestant beside Meng Yufan pressed his elbow with his elbow, and said teasingly: "Meng Yufan, I think you are going to be out of luck! What you said when you introduced yourself just now, I didn't expect the main character to appear on the show. in?"
Meng Yufan corrected him: "No, I knew in advance that Feng Xianghui was coming to participate in this show, so those words were deliberately told to him."
The contestant laughed at him: "Haha, you can be tough. Be careful of being targeted by him when recording the show."
Meng Yufan: "It doesn't matter if you are targeted. I played with him. We made a bet before that if I could score five goals within 30 minutes, he would grant me a request."
"Then did you win the bet?"
"Win." Meng Yufan said softly, "In twenty minutes, I scored eight."
"... Hahahahaha!" The contestant laughed until tears came out, "Brother, you are so humorous!"
Meng Yufan didn't care whether others believed it or not, anyway, only he and Feng Xiang knew about that match in the world. And the bet, he also got it for Yang Xiao.
Like a king, Feng Xiang climbed the stairs step by step and sat on the throne of the forward.
Looking down from his angle, you can clearly see the top of Meng Yufan's head - it is too obvious, everyone else looked up at him, only Meng Yufan was closing his eyes and resting, not moving.
Stinky boy.
Feng Xiang had a smile on his face, MMP in his heart: "How can I beat you to the ground while watching the game for a while."
Feng Xiang's left and right are Ding Man and Yake Fujiang. The three of them belong to different cba clubs. They have met many times on the field before.
Yake Fujiang took the initiative to greet Feng Xiang, and the two hugged and said hello like good brothers.
Feng Xiang said, "Where's your dreadlocks?"
Yakefujiang shrugged: "It was cut, and the program team said it couldn't pass the trial. Where are your earrings?"
Feng Xiang replied: "Like you, it can't pass the trial, so it will be removed."
The two chatted vigorously, and Ding Man didn't say a word beside him.
Feng Xiang didn't like Ding Man in the first place. Ding Man deliberately bumped into him on the court because of his physical fitness. That time Feng Xiang's shoulder hurt for a whole month, and he almost missed the final.
But after all, this is a recording program, and you can't keep talking to each other in front of the camera.
Feng Xiang glanced at Ding Man and asked him, "Will your tattoo not cover it?"
Ding Man snorted coldly: "What cover, do you think I can't pass the trial like you?"
Feng Xiang raised his eyebrows and didn't answer.
It didn't take long for the show to stop abruptly. The costume chemist hurried into the scene. This one took the sleeves and the other applied foundation, which literally covered all the tattoos on Ding Man's arm!
Because of the rush of time, the ice silk sleeves chose the ugliest one, which actually had red and green patterns like the old lady's sleeves.
Ding Man: "… "
Feng Xiang sneered: "Look, you can't pass the trial either."
As for the other contestants present, they all couldn't hold back their laughter when they saw that the arrogant Huajiao was actually made into this ghostly appearance by the program team.
It took a long time for the on-site dispatcher to make everyone stop laughing, and the show could finally continue recording.
One of the highlights of the first episode is the group confrontation. In groups of five, 30 players are divided into six groups to fight against each other.
In this way, a team with three "kings" will have an advantage, while a team without a "king" will have a great chance of failing.
The grouping is completely free to combine. After the host said, "Now you can freely find your group members", everyone immediately rushed to the three kings on the throne.
Everyone showed their abilities and tried their best to sell themselves, hoping to be favored by the king.
Among the three active CBA players, Feng Xiang has the most people around. He has a good game and has been the captain, and he plays with confidence.
The second is the most controversial Ding Man. He is a defender and has attracted many players who are as strong as him. Everyone is full of flesh, like a group of walking rollers.
The one with the smallest number was center Yakefujiang, but he was the first to select good players. He didn't come to this show to be in the limelight, and the team members he was looking for were all just like him, down-to-earth.
Originally, Meng Yufan wanted to go to Yakefujiang to recommend himself, but unfortunately he was a step late. Yakefujiang had already selected the big and small forwards, and there was no place for him.
Meng Yufan has some regrets, but he didn't take it to heart. It's a big deal to form a team by himself. The first game doesn't count as points, it's just for the players to run in with each other and show their abilities to the audience. He can be the captain himself and find a group to match. members of the team.
With that in mind, he turned around and prepared to go down the stairs to chat with other players who had not yet entered the group.
Where did you think...
"Hey... Who is that, Meng Yufan, right?!" A rough voice sounded behind him.
Meng Yufan was stunned and looked back.
I don't know when, Ding Man actually stepped down from his throne, stepped down, and came to Meng Yufan step by step.
And behind him, followed by three tall and sturdy players.
Meng Yufan didn't know what Ding Man was looking for him to do, so he nodded at him.
"Senior Ding, what's the matter?" he asked.
Ding Man snorted, and said in an arrogant tone that seemed to give him great glory: "Meng Yufan, don't you like Feng Xiang? Our team lacks a striker, come to my team, let's give it together. Feng Xiang is a lesson."
