"Arms straight, breathing steadily, okay, one more!"

In a gym at the Imperial Capital Athletics Center, Su Zu was training in pull-ups bare-chested on a welded metal crossbar.

After doing thirty in one breath, Su Zu jumped off the crossbar, his face flushed slightly, feeling the soreness of his arm, he shook his arm slightly, and spit out turbidity.

"Your back muscles are not trained enough, you can strengthen this aspect a little more."

Li Zhizhong looked at Su Zu who was standing in front of him and said, "Pull-ups are mainly to strengthen your core strength, the sub-plateau training in the past few months has increased your speed and endurance, but the improvement of core strength is not great, and the muscles need to be stronger." ”

"I also don't feel like I have enough strength in my upper limbs." Su Zu did a few squat jumps on the spot, feeling the state of the recent competition, and obviously felt that the strength of the lower limbs had strengthened a lot, but the waist and back arms were still a little lacking in comparison.

The Doha Super Grand Prix broke the world record and the results were impressive enough, but there were also many problems exposed. Sub-altitude speed endurance training is better, and if it is in the 200 meters and 400 meters, it may perform even better. But the strength training is not strong, and there is still room for improvement.

"The Laureus Award was awarded."

While Su Zu and Li Zhizhong were discussing the training plan, outside the door of the gym, Zhang Pingqiu and Yu Yaling walked in together.

Zhang Pingqiu held a laptop in his hand, and after entering the gym, he said directly to the two.

"Oh? Who is the best athlete of the year? Li Zhizhong turned his head and asked.

"It's Roger Federer and Coster Ritchie." Zhang Pingqiu showed Li Zhizhong the webpage opened by the notebook in his hand, "It seems that no track and field athletes have won awards this year." Federer is tennis and Koster Ritchie is alpine skiing. ”

The Laureus Sports Awards are one of the most influential awards in world sport and the only global sports awards ceremony. It's basically the Oscars of sports.

The annual Laureus Awards reward the world's most outstanding male and female athletes by more than 2,000 veteran sports journalists from more than 70 countries and territories who nominate the most outstanding athlete of the year, followed by a vote of the Laureus Sport Academy's 52 members.

The Laureus Top 10 Laureus Champion Award in China is a combination of the Laureus Sports Award and the selection of China's Top 10 Sports Athletes.

"There is no Asafa Powell nominated for this year's best athlete, and it is estimated that Suzu will not have much chance of winning the award next year." Li Zhizhong looked at the nomination for the best athlete and sighed slightly.

Only Chinese athletes have won the Laureus Award for Best Newcomer in 2003 and Liu Yangyu in 2005. Da Yao was a huge influence in the NBA at the time, and Liu Yangyu's best rookie was the first individual championship of an Asian athlete in the straight sprint event, as well as his previous performance in various European Grand Prix.

Suzu's performances in 2005 were mainly focused on the men's 100m and 200m titles at the World Championships, but also in '05 Powell broke the men's 100m world record. Neither was nominated for Best Newcomer or Best Athlete.

For the Laureus Sports Awards, Su Zu also learned a little. This selection is much more difficult than the selection of the best film at the Oscars or the three major film festivals.

The top performers of the year are selected here and cover all sports. Think about how many sports there are and how many athletes are competing, and how difficult it is for Asafa Powell to break the men's 100m world record last year without receiving a single nomination.

Among the female athletes, there are several track and field athletes like Isinbayeva and Holmes who have absolute dominance, and they can also be nominated and won.

Among the male athletes, Federer has been in a supernatural state in recent years, with only nominations for the 1500m and 5000m champions at the Hicham El Queroy Athens Olympics, and only nominations for Michael Phelps' 6 Olympic gold medals. Not to mention Justin Gatlin, Powell, and Suzu.

"There's going to be a chance."

Su Zu looked at Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu with a smile, and didn't pay much attention to the Laureus Sports Award, but this is indeed the best award for the annual performance of sports athletes.

At his peak, the Jamaican Lightning was the best male athlete of the year in '09, '10, '13, '16 and '17.

Several people chatted a few more words about the winners of this year's Laureus Sports Awards, and Yu Yaling on the side reminded in a whisper: "Director Li, it's almost time, I'll let Su Zu clean up, we're leaving." ”

"It's Mercedes, right?" Li Zhizhong looked at the computer in his hand and didn't raise his head.

"Yes, they said it would take about three days." Yu Yaling looked at Li Zhizhong's expression, and lowered her voice slightly.

"Go, go, go." Li Zhizhong waved his hand, then raised his head and glanced at Su Zu, "Pay attention to your diet, don't get hurt." ”

"Got it, Master!"

Su Zu nodded, turned around and walked towards the locker room next to the gym.

Ten minutes later, after washing up, Su Zu got dressed and Yu Yaling walked out of the gym and got into a car sent by Mercedes-Benz to pick it up.

An hour later, in front of the office building of the Imperial Capital Mercedes-Benz Automobile Co., Ltd.

As soon as Su Zu got out of the car, a bald white man about fifty years old, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stretched out his hand to Su Zu with a smile on his face, and welcomed him in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "Hello Su Zu, I have watched the video of your game in Doha, and your performance is fantastic!" ”

"This is Ni Kai, vice president of Mercedes-Benz China Sales Company." Yu Yaling, who was standing beside Su Zu, whispered to Su Zu.

"Hello, Mr. Ni Kai!" Su Zu smiled and shook hands with the bald white man.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, and we welcome you to Mercedes-Benz's headquarters in China." Ni Kai made an inviting gesture and looked very enthusiastic.

"Thank you!" Su Zu nodded.

Yu Yaling, who was next to her, said to Ni Kai: "Mr. Ni Kai, are you ready?" ”

"No problem. Sue, we know you're very short on time, we can go straight to the studio, everything has been arranged. Ni Kai replied to Su Zu with a smile.

When the group entered the building, they were greeted by a rather open press conference hall, where several Mercedes-Benz cars shone brightly under the indoor lights, and every part seemed to be shining.

"Sue, we feel honored to be able to invite you to be our spokesperson." Ni Kai seemed to notice Su Zu's eyes looking at these cars, and pointed to the vehicles in the center of the field with a smile, "They are a good match for you, aren't they?" ”

Su Zu smiled and did not answer.

He was invited by Mercedes-Benz today to shoot a commercial, since before last year's World Championships, Mercedes-Benz has been in contact with the field management center, at that time there are still many things that have not been finalized, it seems that Mercedes-Benz is also waiting.

It wasn't until he broke the world record in Duohua this time that everything fell into place.

Beijing Benz Company was established last year, belongs to the Sino-German joint venture, has been trying to start the first shot after the joint venture brand, during the search for domestic spokespersons in all parties, and finally in Su Zu broke the world record news, many things were immediately finalized.

After passing through the main entrance hall, I soon came to a large sound studio that had been set up.

The director and various other lighting, cinematographers, makeup artists, etc. were already waiting there, and as soon as they saw Su Zu appear, they immediately came up and greeted them warmly.

Su Zu is very unfamiliar with these entertainment circles, and he doesn't know the director who makes commercials, so he just nods to these people one by one.

Because of the tight time, the script that Su Zu got was also very simple, except for a few daily life shots, mainly a few running shots.

The first shot is jogging on the street, the second is running on the track, and the third shot is running side by side with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan he endorses.

These are not too difficult for Su Zu, Mercedes-Benz has already determined the time with Su Zu before, and the time for shooting advertisements is a total of three days, according to Su Zu's previous experience in shooting advertisements, it is completely timely.

After entering the studio to prepare for shooting, Ni Kai also smiled and said goodbye to Su Ancestor, after all, he is an executive, and such a company is already a high authority.

If it weren't for Su Zu's popularity in the country, it is estimated that he would not show up at all.

This is the third advertisement that Su Zu has filmed one after another after returning to China, and the endorsement fee has also risen again and again.

Most of the companies that can afford the price are the top companies in China, as well as some international giants who are interested in exploring the domestic market.
