Chapter 488: The King Sees the King
Vacation time always flies by quickly.
However, Chen Mo is not only tired of Klee Yuechi every day.
When he was seriously injured half a year ago, he Chen Mo happened to be in a contract year with many endorsers, mainly because he had just won the second Champions League at that time, and many contract amounts had to be re-signed.
However, at that time, because Chen Mo's knee injury was more serious, many endorsers were not optimistic that Chen Mo would be able to lead the team to win the Champions League again if he was injured, and they didn't even think that Chen Mo could recover his previous strength.
Therefore, during that time, many contract modifications were shelved, and even many endorsers did not renew their contracts directly, but no one expected that Chen Mo would lead the team to win the third Champions League in Arsenal's team history, and his reputation will go to a new level.
is more famous than before, and there is a gap with the previous spokesperson, at this time, those brands that have been coveted for a long time in the outside world are naturally hungry tigers.
Like in the automotive field, Chen Mo signed a Mercedes-Benz contract before, 10 million euros in two years.
Although this price is far less than the five-year 110 million euros plus sub-brand shares offered by Nike to Chen Mo, after all, the sports field is a basic market for Nike, and it is not so important for automobile companies.
Like the tennis superstar Federer's endorsement contract with Mercedes-Benz, which is 7 million euros a year.
Mercedes-Benz gave Chen Mo 5 million euros a year at that time, which was not low, but because Chen Mo won the third Champions League, Bentley directly offered a sky-high endorsement contract of 70 million euros for five years to poach Chen Mo.
Chen Mo has no reason not to sign this kind of contract.
After signing the contract, it is natural to shoot all kinds of promotional advertisements or something.
And not only Bentley, but also Chen Mo's endorsed watch Belle Feida also asked Chen Mo to renew the contract, not only to increase the endorsement fee, but also to give him Chen Mo a limited watch with three Champions League logos on the wristband.
This kind of thing is not only made by Patek Philippe, but also needs Chen Mo to give a creative idea, or watch style.
Having my own limited edition watch was fun, but it was also a hassle, and I needed to take some time out to communicate with the designers at Patek Philippe.
In addition to cars and watches, Okamoto is also preparing to find Chen Mo to shoot a new advertisement
Nike, Bentley, Okamoto and Patek Philippe, that's not counting some of the smaller industries with endorsement contracts.
So, although he said that he was coming to Los Angeles for vacation, Chen Mo didn't have much leisure in the first few days, and he either went to shoot advertisements or sign contracts every day.
But fortunately, Chen Mo is more leisurely in life, and his character is now the consensus of companies from all walks of life who have contacted him, so he didn't let Chen Mo fly around, basically these Party A personally brought the team to Los Angeles to shoot advertisements for Chen Mo.
At this time, Klee's network advantage in the United States is reflected.
It is said that the Dragon Kingdom is a society of personal feelings, but in fact, it is the same in the United States.
This is human nature, and no matter what the system is, it can't be erased, but the severity is different.
Klee, as an upper-class person in the United States, and likes to watch movies very much, when she was fourteen or fifteen years old and lived with Chen Mo in Guardiola's villa, she would pull Chen Mo to watch a movie on the sofa every night.
However, to be honest, Chen Mo felt that Klee actually didn't like to watch movies at the beginning, mainly because she was kicked out of the house by her relatives at that time, and she was ready to make a desperate bet to engage in the Internet industry, and she was under great mental pressure, and she wanted to find a reason to stay on the sofa with him Chen Mo for a while.
It's just that looking at it, I feel a little interested, and there are also things like celebrity popularity rankings in MMC social software, so her connections in the entertainment industry are also quite good, and the cameo opportunity for Iron Man back then was brought to Chen Mola.
In this case, Chen Mo's advertisements are basically filmed in Hollywood.
Every day is basically in the morning with the two girls in the villa greasy and crooked, at ten o'clock to the private beach behind the villa to play football with the dog, accompany the two slippery bikini girls to swim in the sea, play water cannons, and then take a nap, in the afternoon on the moon Chi Kaoru at home code writing, by Klee drive, take Chen Mo to the Hollywood Hills to shoot commercials.
Life is quite regular, everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, but what is interesting is that when filming Bentley's commercial, Chen Mo and Klee met Xiao Lizi, who was filming "Inception", and director Nolan.
There is no bloody scene of worshipping without bowing your head.
Needless to say, Xiao Lizi is a beautiful woman in the Titanic, a top star in Hollywood.
As for Nolan, this big guy, although Inception has not yet been released, and Interstellar doesn't know where it is, he can become a first-line director in Hollywood just by virtue of a "Batman: The Dark Knight".
Little Plum, Nolan.
Chen Mo didn't know each other, but after all, the three of them were leaders in their respective fields, and Klee was quite familiar with them, so they chatted quite happily.
But what Chen Mo didn't expect was that while chatting, he was introduced into the crew by Klee and made a cameo appearance as Leonardo's bodyguard
is a very simple role, that is, wearing a black suit and black leather shoes, holding a gun in his right hand, combing a big oil head and following behind Xiao Lizi, and then crackling and shooting at people on the street, and finally being hit and killed by a car on the road, showing his face for a total of more than ten seconds, and he was standing behind Xiao Lizi.
However, Nolan, the director, is also very interesting, after the filming started, he saw Chen Mo's handsome face that was not inferior to Xiao Lizi at all, and he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and directly asked the makeup artist to give Chen Mo a set of shallow beards like Jason Statham, as well as a pair of black sunglasses, and then after Chen Mo was blown up by a bomb, he would give a close-up without sunglasses and beard.
To put it bluntly, it is to surprise the audience.
It's just an ordinary trick, but the plot or something, Chen Mo doesn't care, and Klee doesn't care either, it's originally a cameo in the nature of a ticket.
But Chen Mo said that he was a bodyguard, but he actually liked the president-style dress.
After all, although Chen Mo has a good figure and is handsome, he really doesn't like suits or anything, he feels too restrictive, he feels trapped when he lies on the sofa, not to mention suits, Chen Mo never even does hair, at most he blows dry and then ties it with his hands.
Klee wanted to see Chen Mo wearing a suit, so as soon as she got home at night, Chen Mo was forced by Klee to change into a suit, and had a heated exchange in front of the mirror in front of her clothes.
Woodpecker series?
To be honest, Chen Mo has no interest in European and American films, but when he is the protagonist, it still feels unusual, especially when Klee also inserts a strange fox tail.
That's it, do some training to maintain physical condition at home in the morning, and then get tired and crooked with the two sisters, and deal with things at work in the afternoon, in this leisurely time, the days pass day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the time comes to the middle of June.
Game 5 of the NBA Finals in the 07-08 season, the Lakers' game against the Celtics is also about to be played at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers.
Chen Mo came to the United States this time, the first is to accompany Klee, the second is to get those endorsements by the way, and the third is to interact with Kobe Bryant under the guidance of Nike.
But the most important thing is to interact with Kobe Bryant and endorsement ads.
It's not that Klee isn't important, it's mainly that Chen Mo was going to take Klee and Kaoru Tsukichi to the Maldives for a vacation, but the reason for staying here was Kobe Bryant and shooting commercials.
Now that the endorsement advertisement is almost finished, after watching the match between the Purple and Gold Army and the Green Shirts, Chen Mo will go to the Dragon Country to meet the Argentine Olympic team.
And as the time for Game 5 of the Finals is getting closer and closer, the basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles is getting stronger and stronger.
This is normal, the United States is the birthplace of basketball, basketball was founded in 1891 by Massachusetts, USA, a physical education teacher at a YMCA training school - James Brown. Created by Dr. Naismith.
Moreover, the basketball system in the United States is very well-developed.
Yes, very perfect.
Quite simply, the foundation of all sport is people.
One of the main reasons why American basketball is so powerful is that many college basketball teams in the United States can directly connect with the NBA, and entering the NBA is equivalent to making a lot of money to change their fate.
Don't look at some players who sound worth hundreds of thousands, it seems like little garbage, but in fact, in life, there are very few people who can earn 10,000 a month, so as long as they enter the NBA, even if they are marginal role players, it is equivalent to completing the class leap.
Schools provide talent to the NBA, and the NBA provides talent with a way to rise, and then these talents push the NBA's influence even higher, and then the NBA can provide opportunities for more talents who like basketball.
And so on, so that a positive cycle is formed, and how wide the lower end of the pyramid is, how high the upper layer will be.
This is actually why Dragon Country football can't be done, and why the outside world is generally not optimistic about Saudi football.
The problem is not Jinyuan football, the more wages, the more people will inevitably engage in this industry, which is a good thing, but Longguo and Saudi Arabia have not opened up domestic upward channels.
Young people in their country can't find a way out to play football, can't make money from the football industry, and naturally won't engage in football, after all, people have to eat.
Without local talent in the industry, clubs have to bring in stars from outside.
But this is all temporary, the internal circulation can't run, and you can only keep burning money to bring in external stars.
Of course, some people will say that Saudi oil guys have money and can't burn it out, but the problem is that over time, because local residents can't get involved, the attention will eventually decline.
Stars and stars are almost the same, clubs and artist companies are similar, they all make money by influence.
The decline in influence and attention will lead to a decline in revenue, and the decline in income will bring about the withdrawal of investors, and even in fact, what Saudi Arabia wants is directly the attention and influence at home and abroad.
Saudi Arabia is now caught in this problem, and Ronaldo is not even satisfied with the ten yuan ticket in Saudi Arabia.
It is true that Ronaldo's current performance is one thing, but his popularity and influence are still among the top in football, but the problem is that ordinary people in Saudi Arabia can't get in touch with the football industry, so naturally they can't talk about too much enthusiasm.
This is actually a reason why basically all European leagues, including Japan's J-League, need to have several levels of youth echelons to enter the top league.
Because the youth echelon is not only used to select talents, but also to give local children a chance to work in the football industry.
The academy is about paying the players.
When there is a salary, there are people who are willing to try to gamble, and when a child enters the football program, it is a family that starts to get into football, which is equivalent to making the plate bigger.
There is no youth basketball academy in the United States, but campus basketball is developing very well.
In the United States, basketball is played well, many high schools and colleges will recruit and give out some bonuses, and after graduating from college, they can directly enter the NBA draft, which is actually an alternative youth training.
What's more, the NBA games in this era are really good-looking.
There's no doubt that as the clock ticks for game day, the streets of Los Angeles are filled with passers-by wearing Lakers and Celtics jerseys.
When they found Chen Mo wearing brown sunglasses and a white T-shirt in the co-pilot of an open-top Bentley, the crowd immediately became excited, standing on the side of the road and waving and screaming at Chen Mo one by one.
Chen Mo didn't play any big names, he smiled and waved to the crowd on both sides, and even gave a few fans who rushed to the middle of the road excitedly when waiting for the red light.
Of course, he didn't sign a few names, after all, it was in the middle of the road, and soon, the traffic police came over to disperse the crowd, but the interesting thing is that after the white fat traffic policeman dispersed the crowd, he secretly asked Chen Mo to sign his name on his arm.
The guards stole themselves, but Chen Mo didn't care, and after signing with a smile and shaking hands with the traffic police, he waved his hand under the grateful gaze of the traffic police and the eager gaze of passers-by, and walked towards the Staples Sports Center.
Staples says it's the Lakers' home arena, but it's actually a sports complex.
It was completed at the end of 1999 and cost nearly $400 million in construction, which is still less than the Emirates Stadium.
However, although it does not cost as much as the Emirates Stadium, there are quite a few teams in this sports center.
Not only the Lakers and Clippers of basketball, but also the venues of the Los Angeles Kings in ice hockey, and the Los Angeles Avengers in Australian football are also here, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sports center.
There is no doubt that when the big yellow Bentley docked at the door of Staples Stadium, when Chen Mo led Kaoru Tsukichi in a white maternity dress, and walked on the red carpet under the leadership of Klee in a red backless dress, the reporters and fans on both sides were instantly crazy.
Screaming and screaming, countless flashing lights flashed wildly, and soon, under the leadership of a somewhat balding Nike executive, Chen Mo and the executives talked and laughed through the players' tunnel and came to the Lakers' home court.
The Lakers are called the Purple and Gold Army because the Lakers' uniforms are yellow and purple, and not only the uniforms, but also the main colors of the 19,000 seats and floors in the entire arena are yellow and purple, which is very characteristic of the Lakers.
Now there is still a period of time before the start of the game, and the audience in the stadium is not completely full, under the leadership of the executive, Chen Mo and the two girls came all the way to the first row of seats, and there is no doubt that with Chen Mo's appearance, the scene caused bursts of exclamations.
More than 20,000 people watched and exclaimed, and the atmosphere was still a little warm, but for Chen Mo, who has played in the stadium of more than 60,000 people all year round, he didn't feel much, and he still chatted with Nike executives with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the music on the scene gradually became smaller, and when the host's voice resounded through the dome, under Chen Mo's observation with his head stretched, the light of the entire court also dimmed, but in the next second, as several spotlights were laid, the Lakers players led by Kobe Gasol ran out of the player tunnel while high-fiveing their teammates.
Not surprisingly, in the exclamation of the fans in the audience, under the shadow of several cameras, Kobe Bryant put on his trademark smile and walked quickly towards Chen Mo with open arms, and Chen Mo also smiled and got up to give Kobe a hug.
There is no doubt that this scene completely ignited the atmosphere of the whole stadium, some fans stood up and applauded, and some fans whistled excitedly.
Chen Mo is the most popular player in football in recent years, and on the NBA side, there is a name called "East Ai Xi Ko Nan McT North Cara" in this era, which refers to Iverson, Kobe, Maddy and Carter.
But honestly, although the name is tied, but the name of this thing.
It's like the peerless twins, but it's not that accurate.
Among the four quarterbacks, Iverson, Maddy and Kobe Bryant are obviously higher in popularity and strength than Carter, and among the three, Kobe Bryant has the most honors.
Moreover, the years are not forgiving, as he gets older, Iverson has begun to decline, Maddie's injuries have begun to become frequent, plus the big shark has completely become a comedian, and now the top card in the NBA is Kobe.
The meeting between the top card of the NBA and the top card in football is the ghost if it does not cause a sensation!
The photographers and reporters next to them pressed the shutter frantically on the two, and they even had the title of the article in their minds - "The King Sees the King!" 》。
