Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 113 Become Your Own Light
"You sit here and put the down shawl on your legs. I'll be done with the filming." Chen Fang asked Wu Zi to sit on the sidelines and spoke to her softly.

"You just go about your business." Wu Zi said softly. She glanced at Wang Zhen who was waiting on the field and blushed slightly.

It is now seven o'clock in the evening. After the museum closes, Chen Fang finishes his management work and prepares to start his first video.

He had already planned how to come.

Back at the court, Wang Zhen stared at him with an inquiring look. Chen Fang certainly understood: "I'll explain it to you when I have time. Let's get down to business first."

"Okay." Wang Zhen had no choice but to put aside his doubts for the time being.

"Let me tell you the outline of the shooting again."

"First, film me dribbling. The angle should be close to the floor, with a close-up of my lower limbs dribbling." Chen Fang said.

"Well, how do we turn on the light source?" Wang Zhen asked.

"The back is dark and the front is bright, so the dribbling scene is clear, and everything else can be blurred."

"it is good."

After Wang Zhen finished tinkering with it, he made an OK gesture.

The first video you post is crucial as it determines your audience and quality.

To put it bluntly, it means using videos to allow big data to accurately help you find the people you want, so the elements reflected in the video must be very detailed.

To put it simply, if you want a precise Mongolian crowd, your clothing must reveal Mongolian elements. This is the most basic video logic.

The key to creating an account is to let big data understand you first, so that it can help you recommend the people it has counted to you. Therefore, what you need to do is to make the content precise, and unnecessary elements must not appear, so as to continuously deepen the content you want to express.

Chen Fang came over with two basketballs and started the simplest two-handed V-shaped dribble. But after a few dribbles, he immediately changed to a front and back double dribble, and two seconds later he changed to a two-handed high and low dribble, and then immediately switched to a double figure eight dribble, and finally a figure eight dribble with two balls changing hands.

After the whole set, the difficulty increased sharply in just ten seconds. Even Wang Zhen, who was filming, was stunned. He then heard the sound of the balls bouncing in a line.

"OK." Chen Fang stopped.

"The next shot, wide angle, or floor angle, requires both me and the basket to be included, and you need to keep adjusting the angle."

"There's a cell phone next to it, and the screen shows a 2-minute countdown."

After making sure he was ready, Chen Fang started shooting. He now shot and collected the ball by himself, all of which were three-pointers. He shot continuously.

When the two minutes were up, Wang Zhen reminded: "Time's up."

Chen Fang breathed slightly, took it and looked at it as usual, feeling satisfied.

"Come on, let's shoot a transition shot from the dribbling position to the shooting position."

After the filming, Chen Fang said, "Now film me dribbling and shooting. Follow me. The angle should be to the side of my shoulder, a little higher."

"When you shoot, remember to turn to the side."

"understand!"

Chen Fang’s skills are enough to make it pass in one take, so the rest depends on Wang Zhen’s shooting skills.

After taking a look, Chen Fang praised: "Not bad, I didn't expect you to be so strong now."

"You have made progress, but I can't. That's what you said." Wang Zhen said proudly.

"That's right. Come on, for the last shot, let's take a dunk."

"Still follow me, keep the camera low, so that when I'm in the air, the visual effect will be stronger."

After Chen Fang confirmed it, he patted the ball on the wing, then moved it forward, then pushed off the ground and swung the basketball with one hand, performing an extremely easy windmill dunk!
After landing, Chen Fang asked, "Did you take the picture?"

Seeing Wang Zhen in a daze, he ran over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Fuck, Chen Fang, you can do this now?" Wang Zhen asked tremblingly.

"Yeah." Chen Fang took it for granted. In fact, after his rebirth, the thing that puzzled him the most was his jumping ability, which seemed to be much stronger than in his previous life.

At first it was because of my uninjured body, but gradually I felt something was wrong.

Because the bullet speed is much faster, people dare not make it public, but after keeping it for a long time, they get used to it.

“Finally, take a shot that includes our logo from behind.”

"No need to be deliberate, just one second will do."

"Let's go and cut it out now!" Chen Fang asked Wang Zhen to go to the conference room on the second floor, and then he ran to the sidelines.

"It's cold here, let's go to the second floor."

"Okay!" Wu Zi was surprisingly well-behaved. Chen Fang felt a little strange and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Seeing Chen Fang like this, Wu Zi rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

Chen Fang immediately became scared and jogged forward.

When they arrived at the meeting room, Wang Zhen had already transferred the materials to his notebook and started editing. Chen watched beside him and said which parts to keep and which parts to discard.

"How do you make this two-minute shooting video?" Wang Zhen asked.

"The first and last 8 seconds are normal, and the whole thing in between is fast-forwarded 8X."

"Finally, this back view will be printed with a line of small words for artistic processing."

“Be your own light, light your own path, and be the protagonist of your own story.”

"The final screen is completely black, with this paragraph of white text."

"Basketball won't lie, and the results won't play along with you."

"Understood. I'll do it."

Soon, Wang Zhen raised his arms and shouted: "Done!"

It must be said that Chen Fang was surprised by Wang Zhen's talent development. "Put it on TV and watch it."

The first thing that catches the eye is a ten-second high-difficulty dribble, followed by a shot from outside the three-point line, a shocking performance of making all the shots in two minutes, followed by a dribbling and shooting scene and a close-up from the side.

The last one is a jump in the air and a windmill.

After landing, the camera showed the back, and in the distance there was a faint blue logo.

A line of words appeared: Be your own light, light your own way, and be the protagonist of your own story.

It gradually faded into black, and then a line of big words popped up: Basketball won’t lie, and results won’t play tricks with you.

"How is it?" Chen Fang asked Wu Zi.

Wu Zi didn't say anything, but just smiled sweetly and gave a thumbs up.

"What do you think?" Chen Fang asked Wang Zhen again.

“It feels a lot like an ad.”

"That's exactly what I want. You take care of this account. This is a USB drive. Don't leak it. It contains footage of me at Dongsheng, as well as my duels with trainers and foreign players. It also contains footage of youth training, including the games against France and Germany."

"Just do this in the next two days and edit it all."

"Save them all separately. First, use the Nanyang League game footage to edit a video highlight. It doesn't have to be long, 30 seconds will do."

"One short video a day, starting from low to high, first creating some topics, such as this person can only play amateur games, then go to youth training, then CBA strength, and finally international."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see. Let me see how much I can cut." "Okay, this will be considered overtime pay and a bonus. Then we'll split all the income from this account 50-50."

"Wow, thank you Brother Chen." Wang Zhen laughed.

"It was originally yours." Chen Fang said, "Anything else? If not, I'll leave first!"

"Yes, come out." Wang Zhen glanced at Wu Zi, then pulled Chen Fang out.

They went straight outside and stood at the entrance of the stadium.

"What's going on?" Wang Zhen asked, pointing to the second floor.

"Girlfriend." Chen Fang said lightly.

"When did it happen?" This answer had been guessed long ago.

"October."

"Hey, I thought you didn't want to talk, but it turns out you didn't." Wang Zhen was speechless.

"I really don't want to, I can only say it's fate."

Wang Zhen ignored Chen Fang's words and asked, "What about Lin Xi?"

"Lin Xi? Why mention her?" Chen Fang was surprised.

"Lin Xi is still waiting for you, why don't you mention it?" Wang Zhen was unhappy.

"I have never had anything to do with her. I have always been distancing myself from her. Haven't you noticed?" Chen Fang said worriedly.

Wang Zhen opened his mouth to refute, but no words came out after several attempts. In fact, Chen Fang had always said that he had nothing to do with Lin Xi and never approached her.

"What should we do now?" Wang Zhen said dejectedly.

"Don't ask me." Seeing Wang Zhen's frustration, Chen Fang had to say a few more words: "First, I never thought about anything happening between me and Lin Xi. Second, I know she likes me, so I distanced myself from her. It would be best if she hated me. I don't want her to be unable to get over it, because that would make me feel guilty."

"You go and talk to them yourself. I won't help you anyway." Wang Zhen understood what he meant.

"I can't go. No matter what I say to her, there will be no good result." Chen Fang said.

"The best way to deal with it is for me to disappear from her world. She will give up and slowly forget about it."

"So you are serious about her?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Of course, it's really true. I swore to marry her." Chen Fang said seriously.

"What? Marry! Swear?" Wang Zhen was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

"Keep your voice down!" Chen Fang was afraid that Wu Zi would hear him.

"Okay." Wang Zhen knew Chen Fang's character very well. Not to mention swearing, he tried his best to fulfill what he said.

"But...!" Wang Zhen felt something was wrong again.

"No buts. That's it. I'm leaving first." Chen Fang didn't want to say more on this topic.

When I returned to the second floor, I found Wu Zi still watching this video over and over again.

"Do you think I'm a genius?" Chen Fang said proudly.

"Tsk!" Wu Zi turned off the TV arrogantly.

"Let's go." Chen Fang now knew how to get along with Wu Zi, that is, don't hit her when she is being arrogant, but stroke her in the right direction.

The two went downstairs and saw Wang Zhen waiting downstairs.

"Suitcase!" Wang Zhen pushed it over.

"Okay, you go back early too, I'll come again tomorrow." After saying that, Chen Fang took Wu Zi's hand and left.

Looking at the two well-matched figures from behind, Wang Zhen calmed down a little.

Since my brother said so, I should stop thinking about it.

Hey!
Putting the suitcase in the trunk of the taxi, Wu Zi felt a little uneasy. After getting in the car, she asked in a low voice: "Are you really not going home?"

"I won't go back yet. If I go back, I won't be able to come out at night." Chen Fang explained.

In fact, he just wanted to go to Wuzi and act like a rogue.

"You don't want to take me in?"

Wu Zi didn't answer, but just shrank there, pouting her lips.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Fang was waiting at the door with a box in his hand, looking very familiar. Seeing that Wu Zi was reluctant to dawdle behind, he did not rush her and just watched her with a smile.

"We agreed not to mess around! Otherwise, hum!" Wu Zi warned Chen Fang, but Chen Fang hugged her and kissed her.

After a long while, Wu Zi said faintly: "Bad guy!"

"Open the door, it's very cold." Chen Fang said.

After entering the house, Chen Fang asked in surprise: "Why is there no heating?"

"It's an old house and the heating is out of date. It's warmer in my bedroom." Wu Zi blushed as soon as she finished speaking.

Chen Fang threw down his suitcase and went into her room.

The floor of the room was covered with a mat and a blanket, and Chen Fang stepped directly on it.

"Hello, hey." Wu Zi smelled something as soon as he entered the room and immediately called out.

"Oh, I'll go wash it now." Chen Fang reacted.

While Wu Zi was struggling in the house, Chen Fang changed into autumn clothes and pushed the door open.

"I'm freezing." Without giving any explanation, he got straight into bed.

Stunned Wu Zi just looked at Chen Fang, who said innocently, "I don't want to catch a cold. I'm still haunted by the pneumonia I had last time."

Wu Zi swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He secretly cursed himself for being despicable, but Chen Fang just wanted to develop a sense of trust with Wu Zi.

"Go take a shower. I'm a little sleepy. I need to take a nap."

"Hmm." Wu Zi's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

It takes a long time for girls to take a shower, and Chen Fang would not wait. His goal today was just to sleep.

When the anxious Wu Zi sneaked in wearing cotton pajamas, she found Chen Fang was already snoring softly.

He was stunned for a while, then leaned close to look at his face, not daring to touch it. After observing for a while, he found that Chen Fang was really asleep.

"Crunch!" He bit into the back tooth socket instantly.

At the same time, a warmth rose in her heart. She carefully lifted the quilt and crawled in. Looking at Chen Fang who was sleeping soundly, the loneliness in her heart slowly melted away.

"Thank you, Chen Fang." She murmured softly.

She, who never turned off the lights, turned off the desk lamp.

In the darkness, Chen Fang's gentle breathing was like the sound of home.
