First of all, thanks to Eva Meteor, Flying Weapons and Yan Xiaoliu for their rewards.

There was bound to be a storm after the game, but luckily, Edison and the Magic were not affected by the storm. Donaghy's technical report after the game also gave a reasonable answer. There was physical contact between the two people on the last ball.
, and O'Neal was sentenced to a flagrant foul because he had not yet served the ball at the time, and he was very angry when watching the two teams, and was worried about the scene between the Pistons and the Pacers.
And his words hit David Stern's Achilles' heel, saying that he couldn't stand the violence on the field anymore, so Donaghy was only criticized, and he was no longer scheduled for the playoffs after officiating.
, and with his qualifications, it is indeed difficult to officiate the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals.
However, through this game, Edison finally understood the meaning of Adidas' classic advertisement.
"You were fooled. When I beat them hard and subdued them to win a double-double, did you really think that I did it alone? But seriously, the game is for 5 people. Believe it or not.
"
"Indeed, we have all been fooled. The competition is not for five people at all." Edison muttered to himself while browsing the webpage to read relevant news.
After returning to Orlando, Edison first gave the players a day off. After two consecutive rounds of high-intensity series, the players were already tired, both physically and mentally. And whether the opponents in the finals would come out, it would not be known in a short time.
If you can't get out, the training is just to maintain physical fitness, without any specific arrangements.
The players have gone home to reunite with their families and enjoy rare leisure time, but there are two people on the Magic team who cannot take any time off.
One is Thibodeau. This guy is so dedicated. Although everyone has taken a break, he still studies the game videos between the Pistons and the 76ers to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals.
The other one is Edison, but he was not preparing for the competition, but was dragged by his agent Martin to make a movie.
The original agreement between Edison and Lionsgate Film Company required him to play a cameo role in the new film "The Devil Wears Prada". After more than 2 months of preparation, the film officially started shooting in March. Now it is May, basically
Most of the story has been shot, and we are just waiting for post-editing or accidental reshoots.
However, the guest appearance promised by Edison never appeared. Originally, Edison wanted to wait until after June, after all his games this season. However, Anne Hathaway, who plays opposite him, has another film in June and is going to Italy.
It was impossible to come back to shoot with Edison. Martin had no choice but to force Edison to shoot. But fortunately, Edison was just a guest appearance, and it could be completed in two days at most.
Although Edison is a sultry person, he is very humble and will never give random directions in areas that are not his expertise. So after arriving on the set, he humbly asked the director and other staff for advice.
It's said to be a studio, but it's actually a small gathering area outside of Orlando. There are about a hundred households living in it, and the main scene is just a tree-lined avenue and an ordinary two-story cabin.
Because there were few locals, the film crew didn't spend much money. They just gave some small gifts to the residents on both sides of the road and closed the road every morning and afternoon for filming.
After Edison arrived, he first took the initiative to communicate with director David Frankel to see what the other party needed him to do, what to act, and what he should pay attention to.
But he is a professional director after all. A time traveler like Edison, who was influenced by domestic culture, will inevitably feel uneasy. If he meets someone who likes to touch assholes and make fun, it will be a tragedy.
Edison was worried that director David Frankel was also very uneasy. After all, he was the main investor in this film. If he didn't follow his own intentions, all his hard work for more than two months would be lost.
destroyed.….
Because it has become a "two-pronged situation", so the first contact between two people should be very restrained. They are polite to each other and keep everything under wraps. There is no serious talk at all.
.
But in fact, as soon as the two met, Edison broke the deadlock instantly. Because Frankel looked so much like Phil Jackson, he was almost like a gray-haired version of the old man from KFC. So when he saw Frankel, he
Edison burst out laughing in an instant, and there was no barrier to him at all.
When Edison mentioned this to Frankel, Frankel thought about it carefully and laughed, "It does look a bit like it."
In this way, the two people became very close at once, like old friends for many years. After a simple conversation, both parties got to the point.
"Paul, look, we mainly need you to act out a few scenes." Frankel was already in working mode, so he put away his smiling face and suddenly became much more serious, looking more like a Zen master.
"I don't understand, and I agree with your arrangement. But because I have never participated in a serious filming, I am prone to making mistakes in many things, and my understanding is much slower than that of professional actors like Rachel, so you may be confused when explaining.
Pay more attention." Edison was never a person who liked to be taught by others, so he vaccinated Frankel in advance.
"That's no problem. If you really don't understand, you can ask Rachel, or Hathaway, who plays opposite you. But having said that, if you can make "The Ghost Story", Paul, your level will not be that bad."
Edison laughed and turned the page, "So David, what is the specific scene you want me to act in?"
"It is the emotional journey of the character played by Anne Hathaway. The first one is two people who are in love and they are walking on the long street. The second one is Hathaway telling you that she is moving away because of work. The second one is when Hathaway tells you that she is moving away because of work.
Three are because Hathaway devoted all her energy to work and neglected you, and the two of them started to have conflicts. The fourth is that the conflict between the two escalated and you proposed to break up. These four are all the scenes between you and Hathaway, and of course
There will be a few shots of you wandering around alone, these are easier to handle, we are not in a hurry, we can wait until June to reshoot."
It sounds very simple, but Edison knows that it is definitely not that easy in practice. When he taught the Magic players to play horn attack, he said it was also very simple. There were only a few changes in total, which were not complicated at all. Then
The guys thought it was okay. But in the first two weeks, I almost got mad at them.
"Are there any lines or anything?"
Frankel looked at Edison in surprise, "Didn't they give it to you before?"
Edison rubbed his nose in utter embarrassment, "I was busy leading the team in the playoffs, so I never paid attention to this matter."
Soon the crew brought two pages of paper, "Should I memorize all of this?" Edison asked Rachel privately.
"It doesn't matter if there are a few mistakes, as long as the main idea remains the same." Rachel rolled her eyes and answered Edison like an idiot.
"That's good."
Because it was mainly a scene between two people, when the staff was preparing to shoot, Edison went to Anne Hathaway to communicate with each other to avoid any embarrassment between the two.
Anne Hathaway has a lively and cheerful nature, and the two of them had been in contact before, so they had a great conversation.
Frankel also considered that Edison might be in trouble when he first arrived, so he adjusted the shooting sequence, starting with something simple. So he first shot two people walking in the woods. This part is very simple.
Anne Hathaway held Edison's hand and leaned on Edison's shoulder, and the two talked to each other. Throughout the whole scene, Edison did not have any body movements except walking, and there were no close-ups of his face, so it was difficult for Edison to make mistakes...
Because the things I shot at the beginning were relatively simple, and Edison and Anne Hathaway were no strangers to each other, so when they were photographing the two people hugging each other and walking on the boulevard, both of them acted very well and relaxed, and the result was a
The effect is extremely natural. And the so-called performance often means to be natural, so that no one can see that you are acting.
But the next scene where the two people quarrel and Edison slams the door out is more troublesome. Edison needs to understand the anger of the person involved.
This is more troublesome. You must know that Edison recently had a horse hoof disease and nothing went wrong. And he is not the kind of acting genius. He usually just doesn't talk and pretends to be cool, and his movements show emotions.
This is really not something he can do.
However, because Edison usually has to arouse the emotions of the team members, he is relatively good at speeches, and his lines can bring out emotions. However, as the saying goes, "success is also a failure," and Edison was good at speeches and he led him.
He said it based on his emotions, but when Frankel came to fool his emotions, his reason was exposed. Frankel's level of agitation was far from Edison's.
Fortunately, Rachel has been helping Edison, and Hathaway has also taken the initiative to guide Edison. After repeated practice and many failures, these two paragraphs are finally completed.
Just when Edison breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was almost done, Frankel suddenly made a big move for him, "The next part is a sex scene."
The word "sex scene" fills people with all kinds of imagination. It seems to be a beautiful job with unlimited romance. But when you are facing multiple cameras and your own girlfriend, it is not beautiful at all.
.
However, this film naturally does not allow two people to perform an action scene with real swords and guns, but physical contact is inevitable. At least the four ounces of flesh on Hathaway's chest cannot escape Edison's palm.
When Edison and Hathaway lay naked on the bed and covered themselves with quilts, Edison felt that his mind was completely blank and he had no idea what to do. He didn't know where to place his hands, and his body was stiff.
Like a piece of wood, his shoulders remain motionless when he turns over.
When Frankel saw that this was not going to work, he had no choice but to come over and explain the plot to him again.
"Paul, this is all about showing the feelings of two people, and it's very important, so you can't run away. This scene is like this. It starts with the two of you warming up to each other after the passion. At this time, you need to have your hands on
There are actions, and you have to kiss Hathaway gently from time to time. You should know what state a man should be in at this time, and you should have a feeling of ease and happiness."
Anne Hathaway also helped Edison reduce stress, "Paul, look, I don't care at all, what are you worried about? Just relax and be normal, or you can imagine me as Rachel. When you and Rachel are together,
Whatever state you are in, it is still the same now."
After hearing this, Edison said something, and the world was never the same.

Okay, I'll give it a try with a single female lead and see what the reaction is.
