"Fuck! You didn't give me the exclusive! Damn Bambi!"
Jay couldn't help but complained.
Such a big news, if it could be revealed in advance, it would definitely be earth-shattering and sweep away thousands of troops. But Lu Ke actually kept his mouth shut. Just two days ago, they even called each other and made an appointment to take a break. It was time for Zhou to meet for dinner, but Lu Ke didn't reveal anything in his words, not even the slightest bit of abnormality.
However, complaints are complaints, Jay can still understand Lu Ke.
For news of this level, Rolex has formulated a publicity plan in advance. In order to create a sense of mystery and suspense, they will definitely not let Lu Ke reveal any news, and may even sign a confidentiality contract; even if he is a friend, Lu Ke cannot just follow the news. Breaking the rules casually, not to mention, even if Lu Ke told Jay, the "Los Angeles Times" would not dare to risk violating relevant confidentiality regulations by publishing it.
After finishing complaining, Jay couldn't help but chuckle. The more he thought about it, the funnier and happier he became. He was sincerely happy for Lu Ke——
From an unknown sparring player to the current top superstar, Jay participated in and witnessed the whole process. The joy and satisfaction are irreplaceable. One thing that is 100% certain is that he will always be an unswerving supporter of Lu Ke and Logan.
So, Jay stood up, clapped his hands vigorously, and gave Lu Ke warm applause. This was a moment of glory, a moment of glory, and a moment of history. Applause is the best blessing and response.
The emotions of astonishment and surprise gradually dissipated, applause broke out, and the reporters finally came to their senses one after another. Then they realized that their gaffe just now was ridiculous and funny. The tense and stiff atmosphere slowly Slowly dissolving and disintegrating, it became brisk instead, and then the applause became more and more violent.
Thunderous applause swept over like a mountain and a tsunami, and it was still rising.
Seacrest tried to slow down the pace and formally welcome Lu Ke's arrival, but he tried twice, and his words were drowned in the gushing applause, which made Seacrest couldn't help but reveal his emotions. Smiling, he turned to look at Wolfgang and Lu Ke, showing a big smile and raising his eyebrows in surprise.
Who could have predicted it? A press conference is turning into a fan meeting.
Amidst the applause, mixed with whistles and cheers, the atmosphere is becoming more and more enthusiastic and crazier. The side of competitive sports is slowly being released. Compared with the entertainment industry, it is purer and simpler. He also became more focused, making everyone present involuntarily start to get excited.
Seacrest is no exception.
"Ladies...gentlemen...let us welcome——Lu Ke!" The roar of applause finally calmed down a little, and Seacrest deliberately introduced the entrance in a retro slogan manner, with the old-school style placed on At this moment, a wonderful sense of humor was brought out, and then the applause from the audience surged again.
It seems that Staples Center is back to home time for the Los Angeles Lakers.
After the applause gradually subsided again, Seacrest once again made a formal introduction, "Lu Ke. Lu Ke Lu Ke Lu Ke. Is my pronunciation correct?" It was not Luke, but Lu Ke, Xi Crest Kleist repeated Lu Ke's name in a strange tone, and then said with a smile, "I have practiced for a long time for this moment. Please tell me that my efforts are in the right direction."
"For me, the process and actions of hard work are the best sincerity." Lu Ke responded slyly, neither affirming nor denying, but still gave Seacrest active support.
This is the wisdom of interviews.
Seacrest, who has interviewed countless people, immediately lowered his jaw and showed a big smile, "The protagonists of today's press conference, Rolex and Lu Ke, are now standing on the stage. Lu Ke Ke, do you realize that this will be the first official cooperation between Rolex and rugby in its history?”
"I thought that when my feet stood on the league court, every step made history." Lu Ke responded with a self-mockery: Since every step is history, why bother every time? Are they specifically emphasized?
The reporters at the scene immediately understood, because they were the ones who counted "historical records" every day. Lu Ke was not only making fun of himself, but also making fun of the reporters. Everyone burst into low laughter.
Later, Lu Ke changed his subject and returned to the serious track, "There is no doubt that Rolex is one of the best watch brands in the world. Personally, I am willing to remove the suffix. The meaning behind every watch The stories are sincere and beautiful. Time records the footsteps of our lives, and Rolex engraved the traces of time. Rolex can become a part of my story and accompany me to write the subsequent story. This is my pleasure."
"Wow." Seacrest sighed involuntarily. Although everyone knew that this was a compliment, it was an essential moment at every brand sponsorship press conference; but Lu Ke's words and method, but it really left a very deep impression on people, without any sense of deliberateness or hypocrisy.
Lu Ke keenly caught this exclamation, paused, turned his head and looked away, and said jokingly, "How are you, are you proficient at reciting public relations manuscripts?"
Not only Seacrest, but also Wolfgang laughed happily. The atmosphere was completely free from the rigidity and stiffness of similar press conferences. It was elegant and funny, young and free. At this special moment of making history, The memory suddenly became colorful.
Lu Ke withdrew his gaze, looked straight ahead again, and continued, "As for the first cooperation between Rolex and rugby, personally, I am not surprised. They are both typical representatives of unremitting self-challenge. I always believe that Yes, their essence is the same, and this is precisely the relationship between sports and time."
After two simple sentences, Lu Ke deliberately paused for half a beat before continuing, "Okay, that's it for the official answer. Before everyone gets bored, let's keep the current atmosphere joyful."
It was another joke, and the crowd burst into laughter again. Even Wolfgang came over to join in the fun and said seriously, "Are you sure? The speech I wrote to you has been published? There are some key information that you still need to pay attention to. of."
Amidst the laughter, Lu Ke stretched out his right hand flatly and turned it slightly left and right, signaling for Wolfgang to calm down. He would then use every opportunity to complete the task. That blatant "hint" successfully succeeded. Another wave of applause and whistles erupted from the scene.
Seacrest then asked curiously, "As the first professional player in the NFL to sign with Rolex, what qualities in you do you think promoted this cooperation?"
Lu Ke frowned slightly, with a surprised expression on his face, "Are you sure we want to discuss this topic?"
The subtext is: Asian players, isn't this obvious?
The reporters in the audience couldn't help but laugh at such self-deprecation. At the same time, they also admired Lu Ke's wisdom and boldness. He took the initiative to bring up this sensitive topic in an understatement and firmly grasped the right to take the initiative to attack and defend.
But Lu Ke seemed not to realize it at all, and then said, "First of all, I can confirm that it is not the number of championship titles."
Seacrest couldn't hold it back and laughed again.
"I think maybe Wolfgang's words just now are the answer, my story." After the humor, Lu Ke became serious again, "I look forward to Rolex recording my story."
Then, Wolfgang added, "Similarly, Rolex also hopes to be part of Lu Ke's story."
Seacrest took the initiative to applaud, and the applause from the audience also rang out again.
The always boring sponsorship endorsement press conference, today really showed Lu Ke’s wisdom and humor, not only IQ, but also emotional intelligence. The second-year quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers is showing it step by step. Showing his unique charm, he once again proved that his market potential will have more possibilities.
Then came the photo session.
Lu Ke wore a specially customized Rolex watch and stood in front of the brand logo backboard, receiving the baptism of flashlights.
This reminded Lu Ke of the university graduation ceremony.
After entering the league for more than a year, this was the first time Lu Ke attended a press conference in a suit and ties. From shirt to tie, from tie clip to pocket square, from socks to leather shoes, everything was fully equipped and meticulous; At the same time, this is also the first time that Lu Ke has been photographed alone by such a large number of reporters.
Whether it was the pre-game press conference for the National League Finals or Under Armor's signing press conference, none of them could be compared to today. Of course, even all the press activity across the league is almost nowhere near what it is today.
The mighty flashes poured down like a torrential rain, densely packed like a silver waterfall, tightly wrapping Lu Ke. The hot and sharp light made it almost impossible to open the eyes. He only felt that he was exposed in an instant, and then It fell into darkness, leaving only flickering spots of light moving rapidly in the endless darkness.
The only thought in Lu Ke's mind was: Can he wear sunglasses?
The end of the press conference was the signing ceremony. This was a formal signing left for reporters to take pictures. Lu Ke and Wolfgang made a signing gesture. After signing the contract, they shook hands and displayed the contract, officially confirming that both parties had completed the signing of the cooperation agreement; but this was still not the end, and more To be precise, what comes next is the real climax.
Because the reporter’s question-and-answer session is coming soon.
Nearly a thousand reporters in the audience were all gearing up and waiting.
