Holiday time always flies by.
But Chen Mo doesn't just get bored with Keli Yuechi Xunwai every day.
When he suffered a serious injury half a year ago, Chen Mo happened to be in the contract year with many endorsement companies, mainly because he had just won the second Champions League at that time, and many contract amounts and other matters had to be re-signed.
However, at that time, because Chen Mo's knee injury was quite serious, many endorsement companies were not optimistic that Chen Mo would be able to lead the team to win the Champions League after recovering from the injury. They did not even think that Chen Mo could regain his previous strength.
Therefore, many contract modifications were shelved during that period, and many endorsers even simply refused to renew their contracts. As a result, no one expected that Chen Mo would lead the team to win the third Champions League in Arsenal's history, and his reputation would rise again. A step.
The reputation is better than before, and there are differences with the previous endorsers. At this time, the brands that the outside world has coveted for a long time are naturally hungry tigers.
In the automotive field, Chen Mo previously signed a contract with Mercedes-Benz for 10 million euros in two years.
Although this price is far less than the 110 million euros that Nike offered Chen Mo plus the shares of the sub-brand over five years, after all, the sports field is the basic market for Nike, and it is not that important to automobile companies.
For example, the endorsement contract between tennis superstar Federer and Mercedes-Benz is over 7 million euros a year.
Mercedes-Benz offered Chen Mo 5 million euros a year at that time, which was not low. However, because Chen Mo won the third Champions League, Bentley directly offered Chen Mo a sky-high endorsement contract of 70 million euros over five years.
Chen Mo had no reason not to sign this kind of contract.
After signing the contract, it is natural to shoot various promotional ads and so on.
And not only Bentley, but also Chen Mo’s watch brand, Peripherd, is asking Chen Mo to renew their contract. Not only is the endorsement fee increased, but Chen Mo is also given a limited edition watch with three UEFA Champions League logos on the wristband.
This kind of thing is not only made by Patek Philippe, but also requires Chen Mo to come up with an idea, or watch style.
It's interesting to have your own limited-edition watch, but it's also quite troublesome. You need to spend some time communicating with Patek Philippe designers.
In addition to cars and watches, Okamoto is also planning to find Chen Mo to shoot another commercial.
Nike, Bentley, Okamoto and Patek Philippe, not to mention some industries with smaller endorsement contracts.
So, even though he came to Los Angeles for vacation, Chen Mo didn't have much leisure in the first few days. He was either shooting commercials or signing contracts every day.
Fortunately, Chen Mo is relatively leisurely in life. His personality is now considered the consensus of companies from all walks of life who have come into contact with him. Therefore, Chen Mo is not allowed to fly around. Basically, these Party A personally take him with him. The team came to Los Angeles to shoot an advertisement for Chen Mo.
At this time, Keli's advantage in connections in the United States came to light.
It is said that the Dragon Kingdom is a love society, but it is actually the same in the United States.
This is human nature, and it cannot be eradicated by any system. It just varies in severity.
As an upper-class person in the United States, Keli also liked watching movies. When she and Chen Mo lived together in Guardiola's villa when she was 14 or 15 years old, she would drag Chen Mo to watch movies on the sofa every night.
However, to be honest, Chen Mo felt that Keli didn’t actually like watching movies at the beginning. It was mainly because she was kicked out of the house by her relatives at that time, and she was ready to make a desperate move in the Internet industry. She was under great mental pressure and wanted to find a reason to sit on the sofa with Chen Mo. Just wait quietly for a while.
Just looking at it, she became somewhat interested. In addition, there are some celebrity popularity rankings in the MMC social software, so she has quite good connections in the entertainment industry. She had a guest appearance in Iron Man back then. She brought it to Chen Mo.
In this case, Chen Mo's advertisements are basically shot in Hollywood.
Basically every day I spend the morning with the two girls in the villa, then go to the private beach behind the villa to play football with the dog at around ten o'clock, swim in the sea with the two slippery bikini girls, and play with the water cannon. , and then took a nap. In the afternoon, Yue Chixun wrote at home, and Keli drove Chen Mo to shoot a commercial in the Hollywood Hills.
Life is pretty regular and everything is moving forward in an orderly manner, but what is interesting is that when filming a Bentley commercial, Chen Mo and Keli met DiCaprio and director Nolan who were filming "Inception".
There's no such thing as a bloody scene of worshiping someone just because they want to accept your request.
Needless to say, Leonardo DiCaprio is the beauty in Titanic and the top star in Hollywood.
As for Nolan, this big boss, although Inception has not yet been released and Interstellar is unknown, he can still become a top Hollywood director with just one "Batman: The Dark Knight".
DiCaprio, Nolan.
Chen Mo didn't know these two people, but after all, the three of them were leaders in their respective fields, and Keli was quite familiar with them, so they chatted quite happily.
But what Chen Mo didn't expect was that while they were chatting, he was introduced to the crew by Keli and made a guest appearance as Leonardo's bodyguard.
It was quite a simple supporting role. He was wearing a black suit and black leather shoes, holding a gun in his right hand, with a big oily haircut, following behind DiCaprio, then shooting at people on the street, and finally being hit and killed by a car on the road. The total appearance time is only ten seconds, and all of them are standing behind Li Zi.
But Nolan is also very interesting as a director. After filming started, he saw Chen Mo’s handsome face that was not inferior to that of DiCaprio. An idea flashed in his mind and he asked the makeup artist to give Chen Mo a Jason Statham-like look. He has a light beard and a pair of black sunglasses. After Chen Mo was blown away by a bomb, he was given a close-up without sunglasses and beard.
To put it bluntly, it is to give the audience some surprises.
It's just an ordinary supporting role, but Chen Mo doesn't care about the plot, and neither does Keli. It's just a cameo for fun.
But Chen Mo is said to be dressed like a bodyguard, but in fact it looks more like a CEO. Keli likes it very much.
After all, although Chen Mo has a good figure and looks handsome, he really doesn't like suits. He feels that they are too restrictive. His body feels trapped even when lying on the sofa. Let alone suits, Chen Mo never even does his hair. At most Just blow dry and then prick it.
Keli wanted to see Chen Mo wearing a suit, so when she got home in the evening, Keli forced Chen Mo to put on a suit and had a heated exchange in front of the mirror with his clothes on.
Woodpecker series?
To be honest, Chen Mo has no interest in European and American movies, but when he is the protagonist, it still feels extraordinary, especially when Keli has a weird fox tail.
In this way, I do some training at home to maintain my physical condition in the morning, and then I have sex with the two girls, and deal with work matters in the afternoon. In this leisurely time, the days pass day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the time comes to June middle.
The fifth game of the 2007-2008 NBA Finals, the Lakers' game against the Celtics, is about to begin at the Staples Center, the home of the Lakers.
Chen Mo came to the United States this time, firstly to accompany Keli, secondly to get some endorsement deals along the way, and thirdly to interact with Kobe Bryant through the help of Nike.
But the most important thing is to interact with Kobe and endorse advertisements.
It's not that Keli is unimportant, the main reason is that Chen Mo had planned to take Keli and Yuechi Xun to the Maldives for vacation, but the reason for staying here was just for Kobe and filming commercials.
Now that the endorsement ads are almost finished, after watching the game between the Purple and Gold Army and the Celtics, Chen Mo is going to Dragon Country to join the Argentine Olympic team.
As the fifth game of the Finals approaches, the basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles becomes more and more intense.
This is normal. The United States is the birthplace of basketball. Basketball was created in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education teacher at a YMCA training school in Massachusetts, USA.
Moreover, the American basketball system is very complete.
Yes, very complete.
It's a simple truth, the foundation of all sports is people.
One of the main reasons why American basketball is great is that many American college basketball teams can directly compete with the NBA. Entering the NBA is equivalent to making a lot of money and changing your destiny.
Although some players may sound like they are worth hundreds of thousands, and they may seem like little trash, but in reality, there are very few people who can earn 10,000 a month, so as long as they enter the NBA, they are considered marginal role players. , which is equivalent to completing a class leap.
Schools provide talents to the NBA, and the NBA provides talent with channels for advancement. Then these talents further push the influence of the NBA, and then the NBA can provide opportunities to more talents who like basketball.
This goes back and forth, thus forming a positive cycle, and as wide as the lower end of the pyramid is, the upper level will be as high.
This is actually why Dragon Kingdom football cannot be developed, and why the outside world is generally not optimistic about Saudi football.
The problem is not Jinyuan Football. The more wages there are, the more people will be engaged in this industry. This is a good thing, but Longguo and Saudi Arabia have not opened up domestic channels for upward growth.
Young people in this country cannot find a way to play football and cannot make money from the football industry, so naturally they will not engage in the football industry. After all, people have to eat.
Without local talent to work in the industry, clubs have no choice but to bring in stars from outside.
But this is all temporary, and the internal cycle cannot run, so it can only rely on burning money to introduce external stars.
Of course, some people will say that the Saudi oil guys have money and they can’t burn it all, but the problem is that over time, because local residents will not participate, attention will eventually decline.
Football stars are similar to celebrities, and clubs are similar to artist companies. They all rely on influence to make money.
The decline in influence and attention will lead to a decrease in income, and the decrease in income will lead to investors withdrawing their capital. In fact, what Saudi Arabia wants directly is international and domestic attention and influence. Without these two things, Saudi Arabia will still engage in trouble. football.
Saudi Arabia is now caught in this problem. Ronaldo's tickets in Saudi Arabia cost ten yuan each, and there were not even enough seats at the venue.
It is true that Ronaldo's current performance of stretching his hips 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 have no access to the football industry, so naturally they cannot talk about it. So enthusiastic and fresh, just do what you should do.
This is actually the reason why basically all European leagues, including Japan's J-League, need several levels of youth training echelons to enter the top leagues.
Because the youth training echelon is not only used to select talents, but also gives local children an opportunity to engage in the football industry.
Youth training has to pay players.
If there is a salary, someone is willing to try and take a gamble. When a child enters the football program, a family starts to get involved in football, which is equivalent to making the plate bigger.
There are no basketball youth training centers in the United States, but campus basketball is developing very well.
In the United States, if you play well in basketball, many high schools and universities will recruit students and give you some bonuses, and you can directly enter the NBA draft after graduating from college. This is actually a kind of alternative youth training.
What's more, NBA games in this era are really good to watch.
There is no doubt that as the time comes on game day, the streets and alleys of Los Angeles are full of passers-by wearing Lakers and Celtics jerseys.
When they found Chen Mo sitting in the passenger seat of a convertible Bentley wearing brown sunglasses and a white T-shirt, the crowd immediately became excited, standing on the roadside one by one waving and screaming at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn't make any big show, he smiled and waved to the crowds on both sides, and even walked in front of a few excited fans who rushed to the middle of the road while waiting for the red light.
Of course, he didn’t sign a few names. After all, it was in the middle of the road. Soon, the traffic police came to disperse the crowd. But what’s interesting is that after the white, fat traffic police dispersed the crowd, he secretly asked Chen Mo to sign on his arm. name.
It's true that the guard stole it, but Chen Mo didn't care. After signing with a smile and shaking hands with the traffic police, he waved his hand under the grateful eyes of the traffic police and the eager gazes of passers-by, and walked away towards the Staples Sports Center.
Staples says it's the home court of the Lakers, but it's actually a comprehensive sports center.
It was completed at the end of 1999. The construction cost was close to US$400 million, which was still less than the Emirates Stadium.
However, although the cost is not as high as the Emirates Stadium, there are many 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 venues of the Australian football Los Angeles Avengers are all here. It is no exaggeration to call it a sports center.
There is no doubt that when the big yellow Bentley parked at the entrance of Staples Stadium, when Chen Mo held Yue Chixun in a white maternity dress, and led Keli in a bright red backless dress onto the On the red carpet, reporters and fans on both sides went crazy instantly.
There were screams and countless flashlights flashing wildly. Soon, under the leadership of a somewhat bald Nike executive, Chen Mo and the executives walked through the player tunnel and arrived at the Lakers' home court, talking and laughing.
The Lakers are called the Purple and Gold Legion because their uniforms are yellow and purple, and not only the uniforms, but the main colors of the 19,000 seats and floors in the entire stadium are also yellow and purple, which is very special. With Lakers characteristics.
It was still some time before the game started, and the audience in the stadium was not completely full. Under the leadership of the executives, Chen Mo and the two girls came to the first row of seats. There was no doubt that with Chen Mo's appearance, The scene caused another burst of exclamations.
More than 20,000 people watched and exclaimed, and the atmosphere was still a bit warm. However, for Chen Mo, who plays football in stadiums with more than 60,000 people all year round, it didn't feel too much. He was still chatting with Nike executives with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the music at the scene gradually became smaller. When the host's voice resounded through the dome, as Chen Mo stretched his head to watch, the light in the entire stadium also dimmed, but the next second, with several beams of light, Under the spotlight, the Lakers players, led by Kobe Gasol, ran out of the tunnel while high-fiving their teammates.
It was no surprise. Amid the exclamations of the fans and being followed by several cameras, Kobe put on his iconic smile and walked quickly towards Chen Mo with open arms. Chen Mo also smiled and stood up to give Kobe a hug.
There is no doubt that this scene completely ignited the atmosphere of the audience. Some fans stood up and applauded, and some fans whistled excitedly.
Chen Mo is the most popular player in football in recent years, and in the NBA, there is a saying in this era called "East Asia, South America, North Carolina", which refers to Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Carter.
But to be honest, although the names are tied, the name thing is...
Just like the peerless twins, they are actually not that accurate.
Among the four shooting guards from the east, west, north and south, Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Kobe are obviously much more popular and powerful than Carter, and among these three, Kobe has the most honors.
Moreover, time is not forgiving. As Iverson grows older, Iverson has begun to decline, and Tracy McGrady's injuries have become more frequent. In addition, the big shark has completely turned into a comedian. Now the number one player in the NBA is Kobe Bryant. .
The meeting between the top player in the NBA and the top player in football, if it doesn't cause a sensation, then it's a ghost!
The photographers and reporters nearby clicked their shutters frantically at the two, and they had even thought of the title of the article in their minds - "The King Meets the King!" 》.
