Shit I need captions but this is sick thanks for posting it
Well the story is a year old now, but I can try to sum it up if that hasn't been done.
Basically, they followed him when he was invited to a chinese resort where the Olympics 2022 will take place, along with other mainly french pros (and Will Wesson) to promote the resort. They paid him 20k for the promotion. Then there's a short bio, but I'll leave you with Few Words for that.
After that he talks with his manager he's been with for 20 years. We learn that OOTD 3 took 6 months to shoot. Trivia tip: for the scene with the speedriders, they had to dig the canyon down a bit to have enough clearance over the wings. They also took 2 weeks to build the 50m long tunnels. And the most complicated scene to film was actually the jump over the cyclists, due to the lack of snow and to set up everything and everyone to the very second. Then they show shots of a certain (unreleased?) "Making of one of those days" where they plan that scene with some friends of his. In the end, it cost 300k€ to produce this film, half paid by Faction.
Then back to China. Candide tells them it's not easy because it's been a while he hasn't hit such jumps and the landing is icy, and he needs "a bit more warmup". Since his injury he's been even more careful while skiing. And at the very end there's a tip about candide's next film, where "he'll show a bit more than his tips."
