Chapter 130: The Reason for the Reproduction of the Advertisement
Leaving New Orleans, which was unrecognizable by the hurricane, the Rockets returned to the industrial city of Houston with a victory contented, but Totoro did not get an ordinary rest day as always, today Adidas people invited him to the Houston branch to try out the newly produced "Dragon Generation" basketball shoes, by the way to shoot a sneaker commercial, in the afternoon, Bugatti asked him to go to Houston to shoot two photos as covers, after all, he has already mentioned the three Veyrons in the contract in one go, It's time for him to do something for someone else.
"Hey, Totoro, this is a new sneaker we made for you according to your size and your playing style, you try how it performs first, if the performance is okay, if the appearance is not satisfactory, we can modify it again."
As soon as they entered the Adidas headquarters, two developers in white coats walked over with a pair of high-top sneakers mixed with fiery red and gold, the color of these sneakers is very domineering, the bright red and golden yellow are very eye-catching, not to mention the performance, Totoro feels that just by stepping into the stadium in this pair of sneakers, he will definitely become the center of attention in the stadium.
"Okay, I'm very happy with the style of the sneakers, and I'm trying to see how the quality of the sneakers is."
My neighbor totoro was very happy to change the Nike shoes he was wearing, although in the final analysis, this is just a pair of sneakers, but the meaning contained in this is different, from this moment on, he joined the very few superstars in the NBA stars, and has a pair of his own name, tailored according to his own characteristics, his own, unique signature boots.
Totoro wore sneakers to the basketball hall of the Adidas Development Stadium for two laps, and then took a basketball for basic performance tests including stop-and-start, change of direction, and bounce.
Nike sneakers have better cushioning ability, Adidas has better friction and torque on the ground, which is a well-known thing for all people who pay attention to basketball shoes, to put it bluntly, Nike shoes are suitable for Maddie, James, Howard flying all day long talented players, and Adidas is suitable for Paul, Duncan, Parker and other players who rely on speed and rhythm but generally do not jump much.
However, today, the new sneakers made by Adidas for Totoro broke the original convention, and they seem to have taken out their company's housekeeping skills this time, ready to use Totoro, the last hole card, to have the ultimate showdown with Nike in the field of basketball shoes.
This basketball shoe is said to be the highest crystallization of all Adidas technology now, they have combined the adiWARE (outsole technology) that works with the grip of the sole and their best cushioning technology adiPRENE + to create this pair of shoes, Totoro is very satisfied after running back and forth two laps and dunking a few baskets, if there is any disadvantage of this shoe, then this shoe is a little heavier than other basketball shoes, but this is definitely not a limit that affects his play.
"How's it going? Are you still satisfied that this is the Dragonborn generation? Is there anything we need to improve? ”
The two development researchers hurriedly greeted and asked after seeing the end of the Totoro test, for this sneaker, their newly established special dragon service team has been working overtime for more than half a month, if the other party says that they are not satisfied, it not only means that their efforts in the first half of the month are completely in vain, but also means that they have to work overtime to change according to the needs put forward by Totoro, even if it is some unreasonable requirements put forward by Totoro.
No way, now Totoro has become the operating signature of the Adidas basketball department, as long as he says a word, these poor behind-the-scenes personnel will carry their backpacks and get out of the house at any time, so now Totoro is the king who decides their fate for them.
"Well, I'm very happy with these sneakers, you guys did a great job, if I could, I'll take these sneakers with me."
My Neighbor Totoro's pleasure was unexpected by the developers, but at the same time, it also relieved them after a long struggle, but what do the latter words mean? Doesn't sound right?
"Well, Mr. Totoro, this is just a sample pair of shoes, do you think you'll wait another two days until we can perfect it before handing it over to you?"
"Well, that's fine, but I also took this sample shoe with me, after all, I'm going to shoot a commercial later, it's more comfortable than the pair of sneakers I wear on my feet, I'll change it when you're ready and send it to me."
My Neighbor Totoro's answer left the two developers speechless, how anxious is this thing? It's just that the good news that can be reflected from his words is that their king is very satisfied with their performance, and they, the lowly laborers, can be regarded as temporarily keeping their jobs.
After the confirmation was completed, Totoro was taken to the shooting site by the staff to shoot the advertising of the Dragon Generation sneakers, ordinary people often think that advertising shooting is difficult, in fact, compared to the real filming, advertising can be done in a few hours is really not too challenging.
Especially for sports stars like him, what people want to see in the advertisement is not his exaggerated acting skills, but his face, Totoro only needs to read a few words to the lines and take two photos, and everything else can be done with a strong post-production, even if this kind of thing is done by any ordinary person, they can complete the task very smoothly.
My Neighbor Totoro only took 30 minutes to finish the shoot, and then he was sitting in pain and bored wandering around the basketball arena after budgeting for the time in advance.
"Forget it, let's just take over the arena here to practice a few moves in the dunk contest."
The number of girls on the whole set is very rare, and a few are all freckles crooked melons and cracked dates, Totoro who really has nothing to do finally has to go to play with basketball, a professional athlete will warm up and pull away his body before doing difficult actions, so Totoro is the first to dunk and prepare to warm himself up with a relatively low difficulty action.
He took the ball from outside the three-point line, started, jumped into the restricted area in three steps, slammed his right foot on the floor, and then his whole body began to spin rapidly.
180 degrees, 360 degrees, 540 degrees, 720 degrees.......
It wasn't until he had turned two full turns that Totoro stretched out his body in mid-air and dunked the basketball into the basket in a relaxed position.
"Smack."
The originally noisy shooting site was silent, and Einstein, the chief director in charge of the shooting of this commercial, forgot to pick up his glasses when they fell on the ground.
"Well, shoot another commercial, shoot another commercial, we have to add the 720-degree dunk to the commercial, oh, no, no, the advertising time has to be rescheduled, and the plan has to be revised, oh, no! Let's all push it all over again! ”
