Developing a professional athlete, especially a top athlete, is a difficult process.

Not only the athletes themselves, but also the training funds.

Either like Jasmine Bloom, her father is a retired professional athlete and coach who can train her from a young age, or the national system and trained by the state, or ...... You can only choose Sharapova's path, sign a contract with a brokerage company, and be trained by a brokerage company.

IMG is not the top brokerage company in the United States, and it will be acquired by MA brokerage in a few years.

However, for a tennis player, it is still a giant existence.

Especially in the past 8 years, Sharapova, a poor child who was once rejected by tennis schools, has become the top tennis player in the world!

To say that there is no gratitude is definitely false.

When the boss of IMG personally called Sharapova and begged her to make friends with Donn, she relented.

On the one hand, there is no way to refuse!

IMG is everything to her.

On the one hand, it is unbearable to refuse.

IMG was the cradle of her upbringing.

Sharapova is so focused on tennis that she may not know much about Donn, but IMG knows that the brokerage business of entertainment stars is the main business of the agency.

Sports Industry ...... Just a side hustle.

So before she came, Sharapova's agent had already explained everything to her, and what might happen was also pointed out.

At this time, Sharapova, standing in front of Don with a beautiful face, already had a psychological expectation.

Tang En didn't get up, smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "No way, I can only make an appointment with you in the hotel, our goal is too big, if you go out for a walk, tomorrow is guaranteed to be our news, let's have dinner in the hotel." ”

Sharapova whispered, "I can do it all." ”

She speaks fluent American English, which is no different from an authentic American, after all, she came to the United States since she was a child. However, in front of Don, he was still a little restrained.

"Alright, sit down. Let's talk. Don patted him beside him, and Sharapova took a deep breath and walked over and sat down next to him.

"I watched your game today, and it was a good fight. ”

"Really?"

At the mention of tennis, Sharapova said with a natural smile on her face, very pleasantly surprised.

Donn smiled: "Of course, I have a hunch that Wimbledon in two months' time...... You can win the championship!"

"Winning the championship?"

Sharapova was taken aback.

As he got closer, Don felt the shock of her long legs again.

That said, this is probably the reason why Sharapova is the favorite of all men's tennis viewers.

The tall figure, seductive eyes, delicate face, slender legs, and, of course, the constant "**" screams on the field.

"My hunch is accurate. ”

"It's a Grand Slam tournament, where the best players in the world play. ”

"So what? Maria, in my opinion, in order for a professional player to succeed, he must do three things: iron will, wave-like faith, and courage and perseverance! This Wimbledon, I am optimistic about you! You must have confidence in yourself. ”

Sharapova took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Well, I'm confident!"

She should be the most beautiful of the tennis players, not to mention the athlete, even compared with the beauties from all walks of life, she is not inferior, and she is a frequent visitor to the list of the top 100 beauties in the world.

Especially when he is really tall, sitting next to Don, he even has to raise his head slightly to be able to look directly at her.

"How is IMG treating you?"

Don suppressed the restlessness in his heart and continued to find a topic.

Sharapova was slightly stunned, "Huh......? Nice, huh?"

"How much is the rake?"

"Huh? This ......"

"Inconvenient to say?"

Donn was a little funny.

The artist's sharing agreement is a secret to others, but for him, does it need to be kept secret?

Sharapova obviously didn't understand, and said in embarrassment: "Mr. Walker, I really can't say, the company has a ...... of regulations."

Tang En groaned slightly, "Is it 35%?" or 40%?"

"You know?"

Sharapova's eyes widened in surprise.

Tang En couldn't help but laugh and said: "The brokerage company in the United States has a relationship with me every day, and of course I know some about the internal situation of the brokerage company." ”

"Oh. Sharapova was only 17 years old, and a few words were wrapped around Donn, and he said: "The bonus is 35%, and the endorsement is 45%. ”

"Hey!"

Donn twitched the corners of his mouth.

It's really ruthless!

The commission of Hollywood artists is about 8%-15%, and individual top stars are even lower.

Donn's director is about 1% of the AMG, and the actor is about 3% of the CAA. But in reality, the brokerage company doesn't get a penny.

Because now Don will only take on the New Universal movie, and he will join for free.

But then again, IMG has cultivated Sharapova since childhood, and after 8 years, it has cost more than 100,000 dollars, to say the least, and it is normal to get such a commission.

I don't know how many children have to be raised before a Sharapova can appear.

Sure enough, Sharapova was also very satisfied with such a sharing condition, and said: "This is already very good, I heard...... There are two Chinese players in the NBC, and they are all causing trouble. ”

Don glanced at her, "You know?"

"Yes, my agent has told me many times, and it's been in the newspaper. It seems like...... They are cultivated by the state, and 50% of the total annual income must be paid to the state as a training fee. ”

Obviously, this is a set of rhetoric made by IMG in order to appease Sharapova.

However, this incident was once very noisy, and even the NBA players' union came forward to defend its rights, claiming that it was a "robbery".

30% to the National Basketball Association, 10% to the local Basketball Association, and 10% to the former CBA team...... Naturally, this will cause a lot of contradictions.

Tang En shook his head and said with a smile: "It's only 50%, what is this? You don't know about the situation in Japan and South Korea!"

"Huh?" Sharapova opened the conversation, no longer as nervous as she had been, and asked strangely, "Are Japan and South Korea also national systems?"

Tang En shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about the entertainment industry." You know, South Korea and Japan like to cultivate idol groups, and they will find a group of children, train them from an early age, and teach them to be stars. When you grow up and make money, the commission ...... Hey, it's unimaginably high!"

"How much?"

"Japan is better, about ...... 80%!"

"Huh?!"

Sharapova was stunned.

80%?

Ridiculous, right?

That's good, and what has become of South Korea?

Tang En said: "There is no history and culture in South Korea, just learning from middle school and learning from Japan. The Korean entertainment industry is copying Japan's set, but it is more ruthless. Japan's 80% commission should be the average, South Korea's ...... Some groups and even brokerage companies will take a 100% cut! That is to say, the artists do not get any extra income, and every month, they can only receive some pitiful basic salaries, and they can't even afford high-end bags, so they can only ...... Hey, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

“100%？”

Sharapova was about to faint.

Crazy, right?

Is this also allowed by law?

This is squeezing employees!

Seeing that the atmosphere was good and the other party was relaxed, Tang En was not polite and took her hand directly.

The skin on the back of the hand is very good, white and tender like a girl.

Palm...... There are a lot of calluses.

Tang En sighed and said, "When this contract expires, you come to me, and I will help you get a contract with better terms." ”

Sharapova's hand was grabbed by Donn, a little deer, and she didn't care much about his temptation: "The company is very good to me, they promised to renew the contract with me next year and change it to a contract with better conditions." ”

I really can't chat!

Tang En is a little helpless, so he simply doesn't talk nonsense, he really doesn't have the level of flirting with girls, and going straight is his style.

"It's going to take two or three hours to prepare dinner, I think...... Let's not sit here either, why don't you go inside and take a break, I see you're quite tired and have a game. ”

Tang En's graceful hint.

Sharapova was ignorant, and said politely: "It's okay, I'm not tired." Every time I finish a game, I can train for two hours, and I don't get tired!"

Don blinked, blinked.

It's a bit confusing.

Sister, I'm asking if you're tired?

"Ahem......"

Tang En had a big head, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "It's okay, I'll accompany you...... Practice!"

"You also play tennis?" Sharapova's eyes lit up and she was a little excited, "Is there a tennis court in the hotel?"

Don was a little dumbfounded.

This girl, playing ball is stupid, right?

Haven't reacted yet?

It's true that athletes don't need to be highly educated, but basic social thinking needs to be understood, right?

The hint is so obvious, still can't you understand it?

"Ahem...... That one...... You don't have to go to the stadium, do you?" Don touched his nose and couldn't laugh or cry.

Sharapova looked suspicious and surprised, "If you don't go to the court, how can you practice?"

"That...... I'm definitely not as good as you in terms of ball skills, so we can do some physical training...... You know what I mean?" Don looked expectant.

"Fitness, okay, go to the gym?" Sharapova looked interested, she glanced down, "but I'm going to change my clothes first." ”

"Yes, yes, change your clothes!" Don was excited, stood up, took her hand, and walked to the inside of the president's suit, "I'll take you to change your clothes!"

"Is there any sports bra here?"

"Sports bras, no, I don't like to play with uniforms!"

"Uniforms?"

Sharapova was slightly stunned, not knowing why, and let Don En take her hand.

When I walked into a room and saw the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and the semi-circular luxury bed, I suddenly figured out something.

When he landed, his pretty face was crimson. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
