Chapter 145: The Director of "Alien" is a Fan (4/5)
Mike's dominance on the inside, and the containment of the "godfather" on the outside, this pair is more explosive than the previous effects of Owen and Tang Tian.
In the end, the "Godfather" still won 5-3, and neither NBA lottery show was able to bargain for the "Godfather" brother and sister.
After the game, Mike's identity was not announced, which was like fishing, which kept the fans' appetite full.
The popularity of "The Godfather" remains high, and on Fagan's side, the number of companies looking for Tang Tian's endorsement is also increasing, and it is no longer a small company as before, and many big brand companies have appeared in it, such as Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, etc.
Tang Tian now needs to improve his strength, and he is completely unopposed to the endorsements of these big enterprises.
However, the endorsement fees offered by these large companies are not sincere, and they are basically within $1 million.
In the eyes of the advertising departments of these large enterprises, the popularity of the "godfather" is only temporary, and when the NBA starts, the "godfather" cannot shoot during the season, and the contract is big, and they will lose it at that time.
But there is always something different, Coca-Cola offered Tang Tian an endorsement contract with an annual salary of more than $2 million, and it was a two-year contract.
Tang Tian didn't hesitate and asked Fagan to sign directly.
2 million a year, although not particularly large, is completely enough for him.
The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, his career has not officially started now, and he is not so greedy.
And more importantly, Coca-Cola was timing the contract before the start of the season, which was a big gamble.
People are willing to bet on him, and he naturally can't let the other party chill.
The contract of 2 million was signed, because the contract was signed as a basketball player, and the value of krypton gold skyrocketed from the original remaining 200,000 to 1.4 million, which was enough for him to start two green skills at once.
But he didn't.
He hasn't fully mastered the three-point shot now, and it's a waste to buy skills again, and more importantly, there are more low-level skills that have limited effect, so it's better to save enough krypton gold to exchange for higher-level blue or even purple skills.
A week after the contract with Coca-Cola, it was mid-November.
At this time, the NBA players' representatives and the union executive committee jointly decided to reject the new proposal from the management, and the new round of labor negotiations broke down again.
Tremendous pressure hangs over both labor and management, and the longer the shutdown, the greater the losses for both sides.
Rookies are also under a lot of pressure, and the NBA elimination rate is already high, and if they do take a one-season suspension, they will lose a year's chances, which could directly change their entire careers.
Except, of course, Tang Tian.
Although he didn't play an official game, he has steadily improved throughout the offseason, and he is now confident that he can quickly occupy the rotation even with the Spurs.
So he was not in a hurry, and he also knew that if the situation was the same as in his previous life, the negotiations between labor and management should be successful by the end of November.
On this day, he did not go to training, but was invited by Coca-Cola to participate in the new advertising shoot outdoors.
The identity of the guests of the third issue of "The Godfather" has not been disclosed, and the attention of fans has reached a peak.
Filmed in the Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles, this commercial is combined with a Hollywood background.
Tang Tian's own acting skills are online, and he also has some experience in shooting cake commercials before, and the work of cooperating with the director to shoot is going very smoothly.
In two days, his part has already been filmed.
The last shot of the day was taken.
"Card, OK, perfect!"
The director couldn't help but give Tang Tian a thumbs up after filming, this was probably the smoothest time for him to shoot with athletes.
Tang Tian was also very cooperative, and after smiling and high-five with the director, he went to remove his makeup.
As soon as he finished unloading, the director suddenly walked over to him with an old man over seventy years old.
The wrinkles on this man's face and bags under his eyes are obvious, which is different from the 70-year-old man he wears makeup, he is a real old man.
However, his countenance was kind, and it was evident from his light complexion that he must have been a very personable gentleman in his youth.
And that kind of countenance, very English, or Irish.
"Don, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ridley Scott, he heard that you are here, and came here on purpose." The director opened his mouth to introduce.
Hearing the director mention the name of the old man in front of him, Tang Tian reacted immediately.
American director, even if he has experienced a lifetime, but to be honest, he doesn't know much.
But there are some that he knows, such as the name that the director said.
Ridley Scott, the most well-known director in Britain, doesn't even need to be one of them, this director born in 1937 has made countless films, and there are countless well-known ones, such as "Blade Runner", "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down", "Stickman", "Heavenly Dynasty" and so on.
These films are all epic or classics, of course, he is best known for the "Alien" series, which can be said to have created a new category of thrillers.
"Hello, Mr. Scott." For this kind of character, Tang Tian still instinctively respected, and took the initiative to get up and stretch out his hand to Scott.
"'Godfather', to be honest, I'm a fan of yours." Scott shook hands with Tang Tian with a smile, a kind smile on his face.
Tang Tian was surprised, he didn't expect a well-known director to know about him.
Scott said and took out his phone, opened his ins, and pulled out the watchlist, and the one at the top was Carl's.
This is to tell Tang Tian that what he said is not polite.
"I had friends at Nike, and I was starting to wonder who came up with the idea, but they told me it was you, and you must be a very smart basketball player." Scott then spoke.
After listening to what Scott said, Tang Tian suddenly realized.
It turned out to be because of creativity.
It makes sense that directing is a profession that needs a lot of inspiration, and Scott was attracted to the godfather's creativity.
Scott was very modest, and Tang Tian was also very sociable, and the two of them chatted for a while and laughed.
After chatting, Scott was about to leave, and before leaving, he took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Tang Tian.
"If you have any more inspiration, or if you need any help, please feel free to contact me."
Tang Tian smiled and took the business card.
Knowing Scott was unexpected for him, but knowing such a great director reminded him of Olsen.
Olsen had to give him cake and play tennis to find a new way to train, and he had to reciprocate.
And for Olsen now, there's nothing more valuable than making a movie.
