Chapter 168: Tens of millions of euros sponsorship
(I'm tired of watching the game, write a chapter on off-field activities.) )
According to Mendez, he has previously cooperated with the clothing brand AMQ Alexander McQueen (Alexander McQueen), launched a 15-year series of new products, and now he needs Jose to shoot new product advertisements.
José had to leave Germany temporarily and go to London.
For the brand AMQ, Jose didn't know much about it at first, but for the sake of remuneration, he agreed to cooperate with it.
After the contact, José learned more about it, and the most profound feeling is that most of their clothing designs are very grotesque, and the expression of the products is very exaggerated, which can be called a rebel against traditional clothing.
It's all about the personal touch of the brand's founder, Alexander McQueen.
For Alexander McQueen's related information, a casual search on the Internet can find a lot of relevant information.
One of the most memorable is his legendary experience and his unique "bad boy" style.
José has always considered himself more or less rebellious, but compared to the spirit of Alexander McQueen, José feels like the best child in the world.
Jose knows very well that he will never be able to understand the tangled and contradictory emotions of Alexander McQueen, and he will never be able to deduce the "bad boy" spirit of Alexander McQueen.
He's not an actor and doesn't know how to act.
On the contrary, he is a spiritual young man who is deeply influenced by Chinese education, and is the same as the traditional Chinese people, perseverance, decisiveness, diligence and modesty.
Jose thinks that the kind of rebellion in Emma's bones is very compatible with this brand.
Alexander McQueen's brand chose himself because of his popularity.
Even if Jose couldn't deduce their essence, they still proposed to Jose to renew the contract, but after careful consideration, José decided to abandon the contract renewal.
Now that José's salary has risen dramatically, he's in a position to decide what brand he chooses to work with.
Therefore, this will be the last time José will participate in the promotional shoot of the brand.
Seeing Emma again, Jose found that the other party had become more beautiful, and her delicate face showed a faint smile when she saw Jose.
I don't know if it's an illusion, José even sensed that Emma seemed to have a slight affection for herself.
It's kind of ridiculous.
Maybe it's because of the taste of eating marrow, Jose, who was originally like water, had an impulse to the opposite sex when he got close to Emma again.
And this impulse was even discovered by the other party.
The scene was awkward at one point.
It stands to reason that since José has fused the heart of a sage, he should not be seduced by beauty, why this time?
Thankfully, Emma was calm, at least on the surface.
Unexpectedly, the filming process this time was very smooth, and the cooperation between the two was very tacit.
It only took two days to shoot everything.
After the shooting, the brand generously gave Jose a new suit and a skull scarf.
In this regard, Jose did not refuse, and accepted it unceremoniously and directly.
…
After the filming of the AMQ ad was completed, José returned to his rented house in London.
At this time, there are still several days before the day of returning to the team.
Looking at the empty room, José couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
It's been more than three years since he went abroad, and all the people Jose knows are footballers.
Oxford's classmates, Jose and them, there has always been a layer of estrangement.
British gentlemen are indeed very polite in dealing with people, but because of this, it is easy to feel a sense of distance.
At this moment, José received another call from Mendez's side.
It turned out to be the famous German sports brand Adi, and finally decided to cooperate with Jose.
Generally speaking, sports brands like Adi and Nike, when he chooses players to work with, most of the time he will choose those well-known midfield stars.
For players who are not highly exposed like goalkeepers, they will choose to turn a blind eye most of the time.
Except, of course, players of the caliber of Neuer and Gianluigi Buffon.
What prompted Adi to choose Jose was that Jose became the favorite for this year's European Golden Boy Award.
In addition, Jose has a large fan base in China, which is very conducive to Adi's promotion in the Chinese area.
Although Jose has withdrawn from the Chinese national football team, in view of the disappointment of Chinese fans with their own national football team, Jose, who withdrew from the Chinese national football team, has become the last pure land in their hearts.
In China, there are countless football talents, but there are very few players who dare to say no.
I don't know when it began, "disbanding the national football team" has become the most common slogan in the mouths of fans.
Adi's sponsorship contract is very lucrative.
The contract is for a period of three years and has a total value of 10 million euros.
This will make Jose's income directly double.
The only downside is that Adi's contract is strictly exclusive.
The sponsorship contract stipulates that as long as Jose becomes the spokesperson of Adi, then during the effective period of the contract, Jose will no longer be able to endorse other sports brands, and Nike, Puma, Li Ning, etc. will have no chance with Jose.
Although exclusivity has caused Jose to lose some of his target customers, he no longer hesitates when he thinks of tens of millions of benefits.
Instead of continuing his stay in England, José immediately flew back to Germany.
At the Adi headquarters, Jose successfully completed the signing and advertising shooting.
Jose also came up with a set of propaganda moves for himself, called the Oriental Dragon.
Adi, on the other hand, has customized a full set of competition equipment for Hosai, from special sneakers, special gloves to special leg guards, wrist guards, and even underwear and underwear.
For the equipment sponsored by Adi, Jose originally didn't want it, because he had better system-made equipment, but the sponsored equipment was part of the sponsorship advertisement, and Jose couldn't refuse.
Just when Jose was hesitating about how to choose, the system prompted that the system equipment could be integrated into the equipment sponsored by Adi.
"In that case, didn't I come on in a fake Adi suit?" Jose laughed at himself, but after thinking about it, "I'm Adi Advanced Edition, it's more real than the real thing." ”
Just as José returned to the team, Torino Sports announced the final list of candidates for this year's European Golden Boy Award, and Jose was on the list.
The award ceremony will take place in Turin on November 9.
Although the results have not been announced, judging from the tone of various media, the final winner is likely to be between Jose and Sterling.
Ignoring whether he won or not, José once again devoted himself to his daily training.
On this day, José, as usual, trained with his teammates in the base.
Suddenly, it was pouring rain over the base.
All the players have moved indoors for training.
José walked last.
Bayer Leverkusen's indoor training pitch is not small, but when all the players come in, the whole pitch becomes crowded.
It is obviously not suitable to continue to train on a large scale of tactics like outdoors, so the players began to work on the basics, such as 5*25 round trips, and jumping and running.
When Jose found his teammates, he couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him.
Several players were doing all kinds of strange poses around Sun Xingchou at this time.
Is this practicing yoga?
Although Jose can't, it can be determined at a glance that Sun Xingchou is practicing yoga.
José once heard the saying, "Yoga relaxes, relieves fatigue and makes you happy." ”
"Relaxation" in yoga refers to relaxation of the mind.
And yoga is also an exercise that pays great attention to mental exercise, which can strengthen people's physique and make people feel light.
As a result, the sport of yoga soon became popular all over the world.
"You're practicing yoga?" Jose asked them as he turned to Sun Xing.
Hearing Jose's voice, Sun Xingshu and the others did not change their posture, but responded lightly: "Hmm." ”
"Does this yoga really work?" José asked again.
"Yes, I feel like I'm going to fly." It was Calhanoglu who spoke.
"Oh, then you go ahead." José didn't say much and left silently.
He didn't want to get involved in yoga, he thought it was boring.
Isn't it just a pose that feels natural and comfortable for you, and then start thinking about it, what's so hard about that?
For a person who doesn't understand yoga, it's normal to have such thoughts.
"So what should I do?" Sitting on the ground and looking at his teammates training alone, José asked himself.
After a moment, José suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "There is." ”
Apparently, he had an idea of his own.
José stood up.
I saw that his left foot was open, his hands were raised and his shoulders were high, his shoulders were lowered and his elbows fell, his hands were pushed to the left, and then his right foot was hooked to the right, and his left knee was raised to wipe his step, and his hands were separated, and then his left knee was raised to wipe his step.
Take a false step on the right, raise your knees and shake your feet and smash your fists.
Open your hands, rub your steps together, move your center of gravity, and sink your body apart.
Follow the steps and press the palms.
Hook your hands and knees to wipe your steps, move your center of gravity, and break up and sink your body.
Right cloud hand, retract the right foot and retreat, and open the left virtual step with both hands.
Swing your legs outwards and double your hands, and punch your left with both hands and your right hand.
Get up slowly with your hands in front of you, your hands on your wrists, and your hands.
And so on and so forth.
If there is a second Chinese person at the scene, it can be seen at a glance that Jose is practicing the famous Taijiquan.
Taijiquan is one of the most simple and easy-to-learn sets of boxing techniques in ancient Chinese martial arts, and it is also the oldest and most practical boxing method. With the in-depth development of Confucianism and culture, Tai Chi is gradually evolving into a set of health exercises.
Jose played Tai Chi at this point and quickly caught the attention of the players around him.
Everyone stopped training and looked at Jose in amazement.
His posture is very standard, and he looks very presentable.
"He, what you practice is Chinese kung fu?" Skilling walked over with great interest.
"Well, sort of." Jose smiled, he knew that these people had misunderstood, what he had just performed was not any kind of kung fu, it was just an ordinary way to work out.
However, this is difficult to explain, so I simply don't bother to explain it.
"Looks interesting, can you teach me?" Skilling's eyes lit up, and he even asked expectantly.
