Chapter Seventy-Eight: Double Happiness Comes to the Door

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and the most important thing is profit, so at present, Li Du's role on the field is not so great, and his performance can only be regarded as decent, and even some critics say that when Li Du hit the rookie wall, many companies have retreated, and a few have not retreated, and the endorsement price has also dropped again and again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Merchants believe that if Li Du is just like this, he will become a role player in the NBA at best. For a role player, there is simply no need for him to endorse his own merchandise.

In the face of these doubts, Pelinka didn't say anything, just withdrew all the brand companies that wanted to quit, and those companies that reduced the endorsement fee also returned their contracts, and never talked to them about endorsements or anything like that. For a while, almost all of the originally thick endorsement contracts were returned!

The rest, it's all big brands, big companies. Their business vision is more long-term, such as Nike, they don't care if Li Du can become a superstar, they want to fully open the Chinese market! Originally, they wanted to sign Yao Ming in 2002, but unfortunately they were preempted by Reebok.

This time, they will definitely not give up on Li Du! And according to Nike's survey report in Asia Pacific, Asian fans prefer guards and small forwards, especially guards! Although Li Du is not a defender or a striker now, he is at least an outside player, so although his popularity in Asia is not as good as Yao Ming, he is also steadily rising.

Adidas and Nike are both one of the world's two largest sports brands, and their business vision is no worse than Nike's, and they also need to fully open the door to the Chinese market through a certain player. Li Du, of course, is the best choice!

Reebok itself signed Yao Ming, in the past four years, Reebok's sales performance in China has grown wildly because of Yao Ming, which has made them taste the sweetness, and this time Li Du was born, they don't want to miss it! Reebok's president, Yuri Baker, expects that if Li Du and Yao Ming join Reebok at the same time, it is likely that Reebok will occupy an absolutely important share of the entire Chinese basketball-related market!

You know, although Reebok is still the world's third largest sports brand, but for some reasons, it has been burdened with huge debts, if there is no more shot in the arm, Reebok is likely to face the embarrassment of being acquired by Adidas!

Among the endorsement contracts that Pelinka received, there are still several from China, including Li Ning and Peak, but they are still only relatively well-known brands in China, and they cannot compete with Nike and Adidas in the United States and other countries around the world.

This time, Li Du once again proved his strength and fully demonstrated his progress through his trip to Texas! Especially after the Rockets and Lakers game, coupled with CCTV's vigorous publicity, Li Du's popularity in China has skyrocketed! There is a tendency to catch up with Yao Ming!

So these companies approached Pelinka again, not only raising the offer, but also giving a lot of concessions in terms of signing time.

Pelinka is a very business-minded agent, and he is an agent who is extremely responsible for his clients, and he feels that it is almost over, so as soon as Li Du returns to Los Angeles, he finds Li Du and is ready to discuss with Li Du which one to endorse.

When Pelinka drove to Li Du's house, Li Du was tired of being with Prittity, and Pritty brought Li Du an invitation to Hollywood. It's not that Li Du was invited to make a movie, although Li Du is very popular now, but whether he can perform or not, all directors and production companies have no bottom in their hearts, and no one will do such a risky thing as inviting him to make a movie, at least not yet!

Here's the thing, Pratti has now agreed to participate in the filming of the film "Wrist Cutter's Paradise". The film is expected to cost around $10 million, which is a modest investment in Hollywood, but it's enough for Pletty, who has always wanted to get a full-fledged role and is still a newcomer!

Due to the introduction of Kobe and Li Du, Pretti now knows a lot of big-name actors and directors in Hollywood, and this time Pretti was commissioned by the great director Quentin Tarendino to invite Li Du to his home as a guest, and by the way, I asked Li Du about how to do some actions in martial arts, how to shoot and other questions.

Quentin Tarendino filmed the first and second installments of the smash hit Kill Bill in 2003 and 2004, both of which did well at the box office. Both the production company and Tarendino are preparing to shoot the third installment of Kill Bill.

The problem he has now encountered is that in the previous two-step movie, he made extensive use of action elements in Chinese kung fu, showing a completely different action scene for American action movies than before, which is also an important reason for the success of "Kill Bill", but after all, he doesn't know much about Chinese kung fu, and in the second part, some fans and critics have criticized that the action scenes are not much improved from the first part.

When Tarendino and the production company were worried about the action shooting of the third part, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Du showed his strength in the NBA with his unique Chinese kung fu moves, and won the love of many people. At that Kobe Bryant's party, he also saw Li Du's superb Chinese kung fu, so he contacted Li Du through Pretti, hoping that his film could be guided by Li Du.

After listening to Pretty's story, Li Du searched his mind for information about the "Kill Bill" series of movies. In this series of movies, although the heroine mainly uses Chinese kung fu, the weapon is still a Japanese sword, as an action movie that wants to show kung fu, it doesn't seem to be good to mix it up.

Of course, whether Li Du accepts Tarendino's invitation depends on Pretti's attitude. So Li Du asked, "Prittish, do you think I should go?" ”

Pretti knew that Li Du asked this, in fact, everything was left to her, so she smiled and said: "Of course you should go, since he is looking for you to ask for Chinese kung fu, then you can take this opportunity to instill some of the concepts you have learned in boxing and Chinese culture to him and others, which is also very beneficial to the spread of Chinese culture!" ”

"Well......" Li Du nodded, pondered for a while, and then decided: "Okay, since that's the case." I accepted his invitation! ”

Pretti served Li Du a cup of hot tea, lay on Li Du's arms, and said to him: "Li, I know that you accepted it for the sake of me getting more opportunities in Hollywood in the future." Tarendino's films also cater to the tastes of the American public, and I think we should change some American people's perceptions of China and India! ”

Li Du gently kissed Pretti's forehead and said, "You're right, movies are a broader platform than basketball!" I thought, maybe I should do Hollywood in a different way and better promote our culture through these big directors and stars. ”
