Chapter 287: A Busy Holiday
On the second day of the renewal of the contract between Zhou Yi and Dortmund, Puma also announced that they had reached an agreement with Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi officially signed Puma and became Puma's global image spokesperson. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For Zhou Yi and Dortmund's contract renewal, Chinese media fans are very happy, which means that Zhou Yi's status in Dortmund is higher and his role is more important.
Dortmund's contract renewal shows the importance they attach to Zhou Yi, which greatly satisfies the vanity and self-esteem of Chinese fans.
But the next contract between Zhou Yi and Puma is not quite able to meet the hopes or vanity that Chinese fans place on him.
In the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans, the two biggest brands in the sports world are Adidas and Nike.
So they naturally hope that Zhou Yi can sign a contract with either Adidas or Nike.
Both big names have their own regular fan groups in China, and they both want Zhou Yi to endorse their favorite brands.
But who would have thought that Zhou Yi finally chose a Puma that was considered not well-known enough in China.
makes many people think that Zhou Yi is simply a pearl.
It's not good to choose anything, you have to choose such a brand that doesn't even have many specialty stores.
Such a choice is purely for money, right?
There are many people who are popular.
Zhou Yi is famous, and whatever he does now, it will attract the attention of countless people, and naturally there will be all kinds of voices judging him.
So some people think that Zhou Yi is purely going for money, only money in his eyes, but ignoring the protection of his own image value, which is a very unsuccessful choice.
Some people also think that Zhou Yi must have listened to the slander of the German agent, and what good things does the agent have? Isn't it all about making money from the players? They try every means to trick the players into signing those high-priced contracts and taking a cut of them, but they don't think about the player's long-term development at all.
Anyway, there are not many people who can understand Zhou Yi's choice.
It's like Real Madrid and Leicester City sent invitations to Zhou Yi at the same time, but Zhou Yi finally chose Leicester City instead of Real Madrid. In domestic public opinion, it naturally provoked a heated discussion. Everyone will think that Zhou Yi must have entered the water in his brain.
Of course, there are also a very small number of people who choose to believe in Zhou Yi, thinking that every choice he makes must be meaningful.
It's just that these voices defending Zhou Yi didn't make any waves.
But...... These domestic discussions also have no impact on Zhou Yi in Germany, he can live as he wants, and he does not need to consider the reaction of the Chinese people to everything about him, otherwise he will die of emaciation.
After signing a contract with Puma, Zhou Yi had to participate in the shooting of the first print advertisement prepared for him by Puma non-stop.
The location was in Dortmund, and an indoor football stadium was found and a studio was set up.
Zhou Yi showed his footwork in front of the cameraman and the light. As a player who can play in a professional team, although he is an amateur, his basic skills are not bad, at least he is decent for juggling the ball or something.
This shoot was a flat shot, so it wasn't too difficult.
It's just a few poses, a few movements, and a few clothes.
The main time spent is on makeup and hairstyle.
Zhou Yi had never made up makeup before, and he had never done any special treatment on his hairstyle, so this shooting was a new experience for him.
Constantly changing hairstyles and changing styles, it took nearly a day for Zhou Yi to complete all the shooting work. Then he left with his agent Schulze.
According to PUMA's plan, before the start of the new season, these photos of him will appear in every PUMA store around the world, as well as on outdoor advertising boards in some cities.
Of course, it would be nice if there were more Puma stores.
If you change to the number of Nike stores, it will definitely make Chinese fans so excited that they are incoherent.
However, if Zhou Yi really signed Nike, then Chinese fans will see Zhou Yi's sassy and heroic appearance in all domestic Nike stores, but it is not so easy to see him when he goes out of China.
There is a difference between a regional spokesperson and a global spokesperson.

The signing of the contract with the ck_jeans did not take place immediately, because it was necessary to register a company first, which would take some time, and it would be absolutely impossible before the start of the training camp anyway.
Therefore, the two parties agreed to sign the contract when the company had finished it.
However, although he did not sign a contract with CK, Zhou Yi still took the time to take a set of photos for the brand ck_jeans, and once the contract was signed, this set of photos could be used.
This is also because the time of professional players is not as casual as that of entertainment stars, their lives must be regular, and the team has a strong binding on players, and they cannot come out to participate in commercial activities at any time.
Players have to train every day, have games on weekends and midweek, take pictures at business events and everything.
Now that Zhou Yi has not trained, he should hurry up and take the photo, otherwise when he needs to use it, he will have to wait for Zhou Yi to be free to take it.

There are only a handful of five days of rest, and Zhou Yi spent it in a busy situation, he went out very early every day and came back very late, basically without rest.
Only on the last day, Zhou Yi said to Schulze that no matter what activities there are, they cannot be arranged on this day.
Schulze understood: "No problem, you really need to rest. ā
But Zhou Yi said: "No, I'm not resting, I'm just making an appointment with someone." ā
"Dating someone?" Schulzer's professional sensibility came, and he immediately thought of a date related to business.
But Zhou Yi waved his hand: "My friend, let's have a meal and chat together, it can be regarded as a vacation."
"Oh, have fun, then. By the way...... Men and women?" Schulze smiled a little.
Zhou Yi glanced at him: "Where do you want to go? Of course it's a man!"
Hearing him say this, Schulze was visibly disappointed.
"Zhou Yi, I think you should consider finding a girlfriend......"
Zhou Yi hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, okay, it's enough for my parents to worry about this matter, don't worry about this......"

The next day, Zhou Yi met Yang Muge in a restaurant in downtown Dortmund.
The reason why he is not in Schalke, but in Dortmund, is because Zhou Yi is already a well-known player today, especially in the Ruhr area. He performed very well in the Ruhr derby with Schalke 04, which made the fans of Schalke 04 hate itchy......
So he chose to be in Dortmund, known as the landlord, and invited Yang Muge to dinner.
When he was in the group at that time, Sun Panqi coaxed that even if he didn't become a landlord, Zhou Yi should have a treat.
Who made him just sign a couple of big contracts?
The contract with Puma alone will bring Zhou Yi an endorsement fee of two million euros a year.
Among these friends who went abroad together, Zhou Yi is now the most successful one, and this success is not only reflected in his performance on the court, but also in his business operation value.
In terms of net worth alone, Zhou Yi is now the richest of the five friends.
So this time, Zhou Yi booked a table in a fairly high-end restaurant in Dortmund, only for him and Yang Muge.
As for how he knew about this restaurant...... Naturally, when he didn't have an agent, those agents invited him here.
Thanks to them, now Zhou Yi also knows that there are those good restaurants in Dortmund.
"Now that I'm richer than before, I have to enjoy life!" Zhou Yi said to Yang Muge, sitting in a much more upscale restaurant.
Yang Muge smiled: "Then when will you buy a luxury car?"
Zhou Yi immediately had a sad expression on his face: "I haven't even learned a driver's license yet!"
Yang Muge smiled even more happily: "I didn't expect that our genius also has something that he can't." ā
"No, no, no. Zhou Yi defended himself. "I really don't have time to learn. You know what I'm doing this holiday season. ā
Yang Muge nodded in agreement and admiration: "It's really not easy. I've all returned home......"
"You haven't been idle when you go home, haven't you gone to train the same?" Zhou Yi smiled, he knew Yang Muge's modesty.
Others went home for vacation, but when he went home, he found his former coach in the echelon and gave himself special training.
So the two of them used the vacation to train, but they were in different places, and they had the same goal.
"Of course, I want to go to the first team as soon as possible and play you in the league, Zhou Yi. Yang Muge said.
Zhou Yi picked up the cup full of juice and said to Yang Muge: "Then work together, I hope we can meet in the Ruhr derby!"
"Cheers!"
The ideals of the two young people are like rippling juice in a cup, exuding a rich fruity aroma and incomparably beautiful.
