Chapter 116: The Highest Income

readx;

On the day Emily arrived in Metz, Ribery invited her and Chu Zhongtian to his house as guests. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Ribery has been hiding from Vahiba before, wanting to surprise Vahiba.

So when Chu Zhongtian knocked on Ribery's door with Emily, Ribery pretended to be busy and asked Vahiba to open the door.

As soon as Vahiba opened the door, he saw Emily standing in front of her, smiling. Stan.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Chu Zhongtian, who was also smiling next to her.

"Hello, Vahiba. I'm Emily. Emily smiled and greeted Vahiba.

"Ahh Vahiba screamed, and then she looked at her idol with incredible eyes. "Oh my God...... Is this really you? It's Emily. Stan? ”

Emily still smiled at Wahiba, who was so excited that she lost her temper, "Yes, it's me, it's your husband who invited us to be a guest." ”

At this moment, Ribery's voice sounded at the right time: "Vahiba? Who is it? ”

When he walked over and saw the three people standing in the doorway, he laughed: "Aha! Who did I think it was? It's Chu and his girlfriend, Miss Stan...... Welcome, welcome! ”

He walked over and put his arms around his wife.

Vahiba looked back at him: "You arranged it?" ”

Ribery nodded: "I didn't tell you before, I wanted to surprise you." ”

Vahiba happily kissed Ribery on the cheek.

Seeing that the two were so close, Chu Zhongtian and Emily looked at each other and smiled.

Emily visited, and Vahiba was of course delighted. This meal is a joy for both the guests and the hosts.

Ribery and Chu Zhongtian were next-door neighbors, and after coming out of Ribery's house and saying goodbye to Vahiba and him, the two of them went straight back to Chu Zhongtian's house.

As soon as he arrived home and just closed the door, Chu Zhongtian couldn't wait to hug Emily from behind.

Emily knew what he was going to do, and didn't struggle, just leaned on his broad chest and asked with a smile, "Are you so anxious, Chu?" ”

Chu Zhongtian rested his chin on Emily's shoulder and mumbled.

Emily turned around, held Chu Zhongtian's face with both hands, and looked at it carefully.

"Why did I like you in the first place?" She muttered.

"Because I'm handsome?"

Emily was amused by Chu Zhongtian's rhetorical question, and she leaned in and kissed Chu Zhongtian.

"Sometimes I think you're cute." After the kiss, she continued to look at Chu Zhongtian and said.

"Is it cute on the pitch too?"

"Hmm...... Yes! ”

"For me, this is not a good evaluation...... Chu Zhongtian grabbed Emily by the waist suddenly, "I have to punish you!" ”

Emily laughed and struggled in his arms, but no matter what, she couldn't break free of Chu Zhongtian's powerful arms. Later, Emily stopped making trouble, she hooked her arms around Chu Zhongtian's neck and buried her face in her boyfriend's arms.

※※※ After a night of fighting, the two of them hugged each other and slept together. Early the next morning, Emily was tossed and woken up by Chu Zhongtian again, looking at her energetic boyfriend, she complained that Chu Zhongtian had hurt her and couldn't afford it. Chu Zhongtian feigned anger and asked, "Isn't it good that you are a man who is capable?" ”

Hearing this, Emily smiled and said, "For me, it's a blissful annoyance!" ”

Chu Zhongtian slapped Emily's buttocks who didn't want to get up while lying on the bed: "Get up quickly, Amy, our plane this morning." Mr. Merry must have been waiting in Paris. ”

"Hmm......" Emily pouted and got out of bed. Are there any arrangements in China? ”

"Sign with Nike tomorrow in Beijing, and then go home."

"Hehe, I'm going to steal your limelight then!" Emily announced.

That's what Emily said, and that's exactly what she did.

When Chu Zhongtian and Emily, as well as James. After the three Meili appeared at the Capital International Airport, even though it was past three o'clock in the morning, it still attracted the attention of many people.

Because they knew that Chu Zhongtian was going to return to China at this time, many media had already waited at the airport in advance. If it's just to welcome a star back home, it doesn't seem like there's a need for such a big battle. There are about 30 media waiting at the airport, and more than half of them are actually aiming for Emily. Stan, a star who quickly became a star in Hollywood, arrives.

It can be said that the public relationship with Chu Zhongtian has also made her more popular than before. Miranda's previous fears of a decline in popularity did not materialize, but instead made Emily more popular. Oprah's talk show successfully portrayed Emily as a brave girl who does not hesitate to fight against the rules of the entertainment industry in pursuit of love, which earned her a lot of sympathy points. In the past, Emily's fan base was mainly concentrated in the younger class, but now many middle-aged people have begun to like her.

Emily wears sunglasses, but she is dressed like a star, so that people can feel that she is different from the people around her.

On the contrary, Chu Zhongtian next to her looked very much like an ordinary tourist, and if it weren't for Emily holding his hand, he would probably be ignored by the enthusiastic media. And his agent, James. Merry was even more low-key, pushing the luggage cart in the back, like someone who had nothing to do with the scene.

When they appeared in front of the media, the flashing lights were blazing. Emily waved to the Chinese media with ease, and even greeted everyone in her newly learned Chinese: "Hello! ”

It's just that no matter how you hear it, it's like "good girl".

The two of them slowed down, and they were immediately surrounded by the media who rushed up, and countless microphones stretched out to the two of them. And Merry took the opportunity to slip out, and he took the first step to meet with the Chinese agent, Xu Xiaodi, who came to pick up the airport.

The reporters surrounding Chu Zhongtian and Emily quickly divided their labor, and the sports media interviewed Chu Zhongtian and asked most of the questions related to the French Cup final, after all, Chu Zhongtian was the first Chinese player to win the cup, and he was also the best player in the final. The entertainment media interviewed Emily and were interested in how Emily fell in love with a Chinese player, and they also wanted to ask how Emily felt about China.

Xu Xiaodi originally planned to take advantage of the forbidden area, but he received a call from Meili, telling him that he didn't need to go in, just wait outside.

Soon he saw James. Merry walked out with a luggage cart. After greeting Merry, he tiptoed inside.

Merry knew who he was looking at, so he smiled and said, "Don't look at it, you won't be able to get out in a short time." He put all his luggage in the trunk of Xu Xiaodi's car, and then waited with Xu Xiaodi.

"It's been a hard journey, how do you feel?" It was not the first time Xu Xiaodi and Meili had met, so they didn't have anything polite.

"Not bad." Merry smiled.

"What time is the signing in the afternoon?"

"Three o'clock, in ...... Beijing Hotel. ”

Xu Xiaodi nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

While the two agents were communicating at work, Chu Zhongtian and Emily were slowly squeezing out while being interviewed by the media in their respective fields of expertise. Such a lively scene naturally attracted a lot of "people who don't know the truth" to watch, so this area was even more chaotic, and in the end, the security guards of the capital airport had to come out to maintain order, and consciously acted as a pioneer for Chu Zhongtian and Emily...... Such treatment is rare.

At half past three in the morning, the Capital International Airport is as lively as half past three in the afternoon.

Finally, Chu Zhongtian and Emily and Xu Xiaodi converged in front of his car. The security guards were all squeezed with crooked hats and messy clothes...... "Let's go, I said buddy......" One of the security guards patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and complained to him. "Those reporters are crazy, if you don't leave, I won't be able to stand it here! Hi! Hi! Don't squeeze! Squeeze what, squeeze! After saying that, the security buddy turned around and yelled at the back: "I've never seen a star in my life!" If you squeeze it any more, don't blame me for being unkind...... Ouch hey...... You're really crowded! No way! ”

Chu Zhongtian saw this situation, he was also a little guilty, his face was red, and he didn't care about waving goodbye to the media reporters, and directly pulled his girlfriend into the car and left.

"Wow, that's crazy......" Xu Xiaodi sighed in his native language as he drove. A group of people are like they have been beaten with chicken blood. Your popularity is invincible, Xiao Tian. ”

"It's not my popularity, it's her popularity." Chu Zhongtian pointed to Emily, who was sitting beside him, curiously looking at the night view of Beijing outside the window.

Xu Xiaodi laughed.

Emily heard Xu Xiaodi's laughter, turned around and asked Chu Zhongtian with a confused face, "What are you talking about?" ”

The conversation between Chu Zhongtian and Xu Xiaodi just now has been in Chinese, and Emily naturally can't understand it.

"We're feeling your popularity."

Emily smiled brightly: "But the Chinese media is so enthusiastic. Although sometimes I don't understand what they're asking......"

Xu Xiaodi interjected in English: "Signed a contract at the Beijing Hotel this afternoon. Would you like to go straight to the hotel and open for a break? ”

Chu Zhongtian glanced at Emily, and Emily shook her head: "I don't want to waste another day in bed." ”

The ten-hour air journey did not make Emily feel tired, and it should be said that as long as she was with her lover, she would not feel tired of doing anything.

"The two of us slept on the plane for a while." Chu Zhongtian said.

"So where do you want to go? Such an early morning ......" Xu Xiaodi was also worried.

Chu Zhongtian immediately thought of a good place: "Go to ** and watch the flag-raising ceremony!" ”

"Take your foreigner girlfriend to see a flag-raising date, you can ......figure it out," Xu Xiaodi muttered in Chinese.

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to use this opportunity to give Emily a "patriotic education", but the mighty flag-raising ceremony was indeed very attractive to a foreigner, she hadn't experienced it, and she would definitely find it fun.

As it turned out, Emily was really interested in watching the flag-raising ceremony at ** Square. When the national anthem was played and the national flag was raised, she was more serious than many Chinese around her. When the national flag guard squad appeared with neat steps, she was very excited, took out her digital camera and clicked non-stop, and her mouth kept saying "Wow! "That's handsome!" "Great!" …… This kind of interjection.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian also watched the flag-raising ceremony for the first time in ** Square, but he usually watched it on TV, and he was not as excited as Emily, a foreigner.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Chu Zhongtian's heart was full of national self-esteem and pride, and he was proud of the country, so he proposed to go to the Badaling Great Wall to have a look, so that Emily could feel the spirit of China, a great country!

Xu Xiaodi hurriedly waved his hand: "My mother-in-law feeds...... Don't go, sign the contract at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, can you still come back on time when you go to Badaling? ”

Chu Zhongtian wilted.

"Let's go to the Forbidden City." Xu Xiaodi didn't want to disappoint him too much, so he came up with an idea. "The Summer Palace is also completed. It's really not good, I can also take you to go around the Xizhimen overpass, that's a scene of Beijing! ”

Chu Zhongtian knew what kind of "scene" it was, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Come on, forget about that place." Let's go to the Forbidden City. ”

So throughout the day, the three of them visited places of interest in Beijing, and the Forbidden City went out and went to the Temple of Heaven. At this time, the two people who had not yet fallen jet lag after returning from France couldn't stand it. Xu Xiaodi drove straight to the Beijing Hotel to open a room for them, let them take a nap, and prepare for the signing ceremony that started at three o'clock.

During the whole process, Merry was not with him, he was busy with work. The contract is going to be signed in the afternoon, and there are some procedural things that must be clarified, right?

Xu Xiaodi also opened a room next to him, and fell asleep after entering the house, on the plane at 3:20 in the morning, he went out at half past one, and he didn't rest at all, and if he didn't sleep, he would be tired of driving.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, who was woken up by Mr. Merry's phone call, had not woken up yet, he went to the bathroom and took a shower with cold water, and the whole person was refreshed. As for Emily, she wanted to ask her to sleep a little longer, but Emily thought of putting on makeup, taking a shower, and changing her clothes...... He obediently got up from the bed.

The signing ceremony between Chu Zhongtian and Nike was quite lively, and there were many reporters and Chu Zhongtian's fans, unlike the media who were interested in Emily, there were not many Emily fans in China, but I believe that this trip to China will make her realize the broad prospects of the Chinese market, and maybe she will let her mother focus on the Chinese market when she goes back.

At first, everyone was waiting outside for Chu Zhongtian and Emily's car to come, but they didn't expect the two to come out of the elevator inside...... The reporters all ran outside, and the two of them went backstage to the arranged signing ceremony and press conference without any disturbance.

Nike was very happy about Emily's arrival - it was a free guest...... When the reporters heard that Chu Zhongtian and Emily had arrived, they withdrew from outside.

When Emily appeared in front of the ad backdrop, her sexy dress and sweet smile murdered the digital camera storage space of many journalists.

However, when Chu Zhongtian appeared, the reporters' reactions were much calmer. It seems that she really stole the limelight from Chu Zhongtian, who called her a beauty?

Chu Zhongtian signed with Nike representatives at the signing ceremony, after which he showed off his footwork. Then the host on the scene saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and was very interested in Emily, so he simply asked Emily to show off her footwork. The audience immediately applauded.

After listening to Chu Zhongtian's translation, Emily did not shirk, kicked off the high heels, stopped the ball thrown by Chu Zhongtian with her thigh, and then took turns to change her feet and turn upside down. It seems that the action is very professional, and the people in the audience keep clapping.

After the excitement was over, the signing ceremony was changed to a press conference, and Chu Zhongtian and Emily accepted questions from reporters.

Originally, there was only Chu Zhongtian, but the organizers didn't expect Emily to come with him, so the people interviewed changed from Chu Zhongtian alone to the two of them.

The reporters' questions about Chu Zhongtian focused on last season's results and next season's prospects, and these questions were easily answered. More reporters threw their questions at Emily. Stan.

Everyone is very interested in her relationship with Chu Zhongtian.

And when the reporters asked Emily questions, Chu Zhongtian acted as an interpreter for her. This scene caused many reporters to laugh down there - I don't know how he turned those embarrassing questions.

Fortunately, everyone still didn't ask questions such as: "Chu Zhongtian is nicknamed 'Lin Danda', may I ask Emily, is his egg really big, and is his sexual ability really strong?" "These kinds of questions.

The signing ceremony was a success, and Nike was very satisfied with the signing of the contract with Chu Zhongtian. And Chu Zhongtian is also very satisfied, he signed a three-year contract with Nike, and the advertising fee for endorsements per year is 1.2 million euros. Don't just look at this number as a small number, but it can't be considered less in today's world football. Beckham's advertising revenue last year was 11.4 million euros, and Adidas paid him 3.5 million euros a year for endorsements. Counting other incomes such as salaries and bonuses, he earns 22.4 million euros a year, which is already the highest income in the football world.

In 2004, Schumacher earned 65 million euros a year, and the number one person in the football world was only one-third of him.

Another high-income sports star is golfer Tiger. Woods, who earned $97 million in 2005, $97,628,024 to be exact, of which only $10 million was earned from prize money on the court, and the other $87 million came from advertising endorsements.

Compared to them, football stars are simply ashamed of themselves. Football is the number one sport in the world, but the level of commercial development is far from that of golf, baseball, rugby, basketball, tennis, and Formula 1. Many players earn just a little better than the average person.

Therefore, in this context, Chu Zhongtian's annual single endorsement income of 1.2 million euros is already quite considerable in the football world. If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Emily was made public, he wouldn't have gotten so much money. You must know that Adidas offered 500,000 euros a year and a four-year contract, while Puma's offer was 250,000 euros a year...... If James. In the 2006-2007 season, Chu Zhongtian only earned about 2 million euros in advertising revenue, which is more than twice his current salary - Merry and the Metz club have not yet reached an agreement on Chu Zhongtian's new contract, so Chu Zhongtian's current annual salary is 860,000 euros before tax - plus various bonuses such as goal awards, assist awards, and winning awards, he has become the most earning person among Chinese football players...... And it is slightly ironic that such income was created before entering the national team.

For those domestic players who want to get more income from the national team before the game, Chu Zhongtian is tantamount to an alien.

Chu Zhongtian set a good example for them - if you can, try to play football abroad!

Of course, our own strength and opportunities are also important.
