Chapter 493: Sneaker Contract

Nogizaka 46 only released one single and one album during this half year due to Kagawa Ha's policy. However, the members have participated in variety shows more frequently, and the exposure rate of the members has been greatly improved; Take Ikuta Erika as an example, most people in the entertainment industry know that Nogizaka 46 has a German lady, who can do almost anything......

It is also important to note that the reputation of the members of Nogizaka 46 is much better than that of AKB in the entertainment industry, and many artists are willing to work with them. Take Banana Man, the host of the show "Where is Nogizaka", for example. Among the other atavistic and programs they attended, these two men would always recommend Nogizaka 46 to their peers, consciously or unconsciously. When they go on the show with Nogizaka 46, they take great care of the members of Nogizaka 46. It can be said that in the early stage of the development of Nogizaka 46, these two people took care of Nogizaka 46 quite well, and the members of Nogizaka 46 also respected these two seniors very much.

The variety show attributes of the members of Nogizaka 46 have also been greatly improved under the leadership of these two seniors.

On the other hand, Huayi Company, which has a very close relationship with Kagawa Yu in Chinese mainland, also sent representatives to Tokyo to discuss cooperation with the staff of BLUESKY after learning that Kagawa Yu was going to shoot the live-action version of "Slam Dunk".

Kagawa will certainly not let go of such an opportunity for cooperation, Chinese mainland's TV market can be said to be the second largest film market after the United States, and this potential is much higher than the North American film market. If there are filmmakers from Chinese mainland involved in this film, then it would be better for "Slam Dunk" to pass the review when it was released in China. Coupled with the influence of "Slam Dunk" in Chinese mainland, Kagawa Yu believes that as long as what he shoots is good, the majority of comic fans and fans will definitely not be disappointed with the live-action version of "Slam Dunk".

On July 2nd, UA President Kevin Brown. Brant arrives in Tokyo to negotiate Curry's sneaker contract with Kagawa. He is also the founder of the sports-labelled brand. In 1996, tired of the painful feeling of sweat-soaked cotton TEE after a workout, Kevin . Blanco has invented a material that allows athletes to keep their bodies fresh and light during intense exercise. He immediately persuaded two college soccer teams in hot cities to buy his equipment: Georgia Tech and the University of Arizona. Then the NFL team Atlanta Falcons also wore this brand of equipment. Since then, the number of teams that have opted for UA equipment has increased, including most of the NCAADivision1-A soccer teams. At the same time, the company also designs and manufactures a lot of equipment for other sports.

Up to now, after 20 years of development, UA has become a sports brand noted in the United States.

Kagawa Yu met this middle-aged man who was very successful in business in his office market. Although he has been retired for many years, he has maintained his figure very well, and he can still vaguely find the heroic appearance of the football quarterback.

While Kagawa Yu was looking at himself, Kevin. Brant was also looking at Kagawa Ha. This age is unfathomable to a young man who is more than 20 years younger than him, and he also appreciates this young man's achievements in business.

"Hello, Mr. Kagawa!"

"Hello Mr. Brandt, I've admired my name for a long time."

Kagawa and Kevin. Brandt's big hands were clenched tightly.

"Mr. Kagawa, this commercial building of yours is really well built. I've seen this building in the news. It's just that I didn't expect the two of us to have the opportunity to work together at that time. Kevin. Brandt laughed.

"I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Brandt, and I think Mr. Brandt is not just targeting the North American market." Kagawa Yu also smiled.

"Just like Mr. Kagawa's goal is not just to be an ordinary entertainer, my goal has always been those two sports brands."

After a brief greeting between the two people, they officially entered the negotiation.

"As far as I know, the NBA player market has basically been carved up by Nike and Adidas, and it can even be said that it is now a monopoly." Kagawa Yu said lightly.

"So I'm very valued with Stephen. Mr. Kagawa should also be able to see Curry's potential and future market value. A 13-year, $200 million contract for a contract like Stephen. A player like Curry shouldn't be low. Kevin. Brant said.

Kagawa Yu smiled and nodded. "To be honest, I can see the sincerity of your company in this contract. The value of this contract can be quite high, but I would say that the length of this contract is a bit too long. I have faith in my player that his mountain value could be comparable to that of Kobe Bryant and LeBron's two superstars in the future, and if I could, I would like to have a contract for less time. ”

Kevin. Brandt's brow furrowed slightly. "Mr. Kagawa thinks this contract should be as long as it should be."

"How about $110 million for 6 years? If the contract expires, how about we have the option of UA to renew it first? ”

Kevin Brandt was lost in thought, and it took a long time for him to laugh softly.

"Mr. Kagawa is so confident in Stephen?"

Kagawa Yu smiled confidently. "Of course I have confidence, and I believe that in the next two or three years he will be the best basketball player on the planet, and he will be the first point guard to win both MVP and FMVP."

Kevin. Brant was dumbfounded, he saw the video and news of Kagawa Yu signing a press conference with Curry, and he felt that Kagawa Yu was a little arrogant at the time. But after hearing Kagawa Yu's words in person, he actually had the illusion that Kagawa Yu's words were very reasonable.

"It's no wonder that I was able to have such an outstanding performance at such a young age, and it is really extraordinary." Kevin. Brandt thought to himself.

"Well, since Mr. Kagawa has so much confidence in Stephen, then I trust Mr. Kagawa's vision, and I will ask the company's staff to complete this contract as soon as possible." Kevin. Brandt laughed.

Kagawa Yu was slightly stunned in his heart, but he was very interested in Kevin. Brant's cheerful style of doing things is very much appreciated.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!" (To be continued.) )
