Chapter 844 [Walk the way of others, let others sprinkle magnesium powder everywhere]
After the celebration banquet, Yang Jian entered the holiday.
The media reported on the completion of "Phantom of the Opera". Director Joe Schumacher accepted an interview and confidently said that it will surpass the previous film.
This is not because of the director, but the entire crew has this confidence. Compared with Yang Jian, the singing of other versions of the Phantom is simply funny. This movie is like Yang Jian's concert, how can it not attract fans? You know
He has never held a concert.
There is still someone in the NBA who can steal Yang Jian's limelight, and that person is the "Proud Son of Heaven" LeBron James. The American media has been heavily promoting him. Without playing a single game, his exposure rate is already at the level of a superstar.
.
However, James was changed in important history, and Yang Jian gained an attribute point.
Sports brand merchants have taken a fancy to James' potential, and Adidas was the first to do so. They reached an agreement with St. Vincent and St. Mary High School to provide sneakers and uniforms for the team.
During the 2002 NBA All-Star Weekend, young James came to the hotel where Lakers star Kobe Bryant was staying. Kobe gave James his signature sneakers Adidas Kobe 2, and the latter wore these shoes to score against Carmelo Anthony's Oak Hill Academy.
36 points.
Adidas always maintained a close relationship with James when he was in high school. James responded by wearing a new pair of Adidas sneakers in almost every game. A high school student who can "hype" to this extent,
There is no second example in human history.
Adidas also specially launched the t-mac2 for James, which uses the iconic green of St. Vincent and St. Mary High School as the basic color, with gold details throughout. McGrady's signature shoes, the color is James' jersey, it is so outrageous.
Adidas also sent Sony Vaccaro to recruit James. This experienced marketing executive had previously helped Nike sign Michael Jordan, and Adidas signed Kobe. Vaccaro spent a year and a half to get on well with James.
relationship, and racked their brains to attract them to join Adidas.
There are various signs that James is almost from Adidas. It is reported that Adidas has even designed a personal trademark and a complete future product line for the little emperor.
Vaccaro told James that Adidas was willing to offer a contract with a guaranteed amount of US$100 million over 10 years. Then, on the day of signing, the person in charge of Adidas reduced the contract amount to less than US$60 million. Faced with the reduced contract, James certainly did not
signature.
Afterwards, Vaccaro said: "This is the stupidest bargain I have ever seen."
Feeling insulted, James turned around and signed a huge 10-year contract worth $110 million offered by Reebok, which made headlines.
Yang Jian was shocked after reading the news. It is indeed the management of Adidas. Their stupidity is so deep in their bones that it is unbelievable. If you just pick any senior NBA fan to be the CEO of Adidas, it is impossible to do worse than him.
.
At the end of April 2002, Adidas gave McGrady, who had led the team beyond the playoffs, a lifetime contract. That season, McGrady's statistics were 25.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.6 steals, with a shooting percentage of 45.1%. I don't know why, Adidas
When the senior management sees McGrady's performance, they will think that this is the number one player in the company's future.
In the summer of 2002, they also went through a series of negotiations and agreed to Kobe's request to terminate the contract early. Kobe had a strong competitive spirit, and Adidas put its endorsement focus on Tracy McGrady, which was unacceptable to him.
Kobe's departure was not without cost. Adidas required Kobe not to sign with any brand during the unfinished year of his contract, which is why Kobe wore shoes willfully during the 2002-03 season.
After giving cancer patients a lifetime contract, terminating Kobe Bryant's contract, and missing out on LeBron James, the top management of Adidas was still complacent and gloating after a series of outrageous actions. Just because Kobe Bryant failed to negotiate a new sneaker endorsement contract, the Eagles were in trouble. Adidas seemed to have gotten rid of a burden in advance.
.
In the future, if Adidas acquires Reebok in order to compete with Nike, Nike's executives will laugh to death.
In a parallel world, Adidas executives failed to clearly differentiate between the target markets of Adidas and Reebok. Once they encountered ambiguities and intersections, they would always direct high-quality resources to Adidas. As a result, they acquired Reebok and lost nearly 10 billion in 16 years, and engaged in
All that's left of Reebok is feathers.
The Yang family estimates that James, who signed with Reebok, will not be so highly praised by the media. His career has changed from the beginning of an emperor to the beginning of a big-name potential star.
Nike's offer to James is very low. With Yang Jian here, they don't need another core spokesperson with the ball. No one at Nike believes that James can be compared with Yang Jian in the future. If he wants to reach Yang Jian's height, he has to
Leading the team to seven championships and a bunch of MVPs, how is this possible?
Putting aside honors, James' playing style is much uglier than Yang Jian's. How many fans can he attract?
Yang Jian called this "following others' path and letting others spread magnesium powder everywhere".
From the moment he signed with Nike, he was already planning for the future. James had just entered the league, and he was already suppressing him and never getting ahead.
In the future, Lao Zhan will definitely burst into tears after losing. "I don't know why God always makes my path so difficult." Unlike Parallel World, which was highly praised for 20 years and won 4 championships, his path this time is different.
It's really hard.
Not to mention James leading the team to challenge Yang Jian, the perverted lineups of the Eastern Heat and Bulls, as long as the players are not seriously injured, can defeat James until the decision is announced.
Yang Jian stayed in Los Angeles for a week and contacted several girlfriends to have a party at home, but none of her friends called her.
His girlfriends all know that he has "superpowers", so to be fair, he announced something big.
"I recently got a new ability. Although I can't use it often, it should be very interesting. So I called everyone here and wanted to ask who of you is interested in going to another world with me? Currently I can only bring one.
people."
Naomi shuddered: "Another world...you are not talking about the world after death, are you?"
This is a sequelae of her filming of horror films. The first thing that comes to mind when hearing this word is the underworld.
Yang Jian shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm talking about parallel worlds, including the underworld, aliens, the past, the future... you should be able to go to all of them to fulfill your dream of traveling. Whatever you most want to see in your dream, we will go there
.Whether it’s traveling or doing something big, you can stay for a month.”
Britney asked curiously: "Can we go to a magical world? It's the world of Disney cartoons."
"Of course, but it will definitely be a real-life world. We might see a black fish who brutally kills her shellfish friends and turns them into bras."
"..." Britney covered her head with her hands. She believed that Yang Jian could take her to other worlds, but she didn't want to go to the Disney world at all.
"Theoretically, we can go and play with Harry Potter and kill Voldemort at the same time." Yang Jian shrugged. "I haven't tried it, and I'm actually not sure if it can be done like this."
Cameron Diaz asked: "If you go out for a month, won't it affect the basketball game?"
"No, when we go to the parallel world, time here is stagnant, and it is an extra vacation. Just go to the world you want to go to, and you can discuss it."
There were so many people today. Except for Sakai Izumi, who had not seen him for a long time after returning to Japan, Yang Jian's girlfriend was all at home.
Winona Ryder had long known that Yang Jian had the ability to travel through time, but she couldn't bring people with her before. She wanted to go with him the most. But because she had been working for Yang Jian as an "assistant", her new drama was about to begin.
Shooting started, so I was immediately excluded.
After a discussion, everyone decided to let Yang Jian draw lots to decide who would attend this special date. He would write down everyone's name and put it in a candy box, and Yang Jian would touch a piece of paper and come out.
Naomi Watts was a little excited after winning and put forward her own idea. "I want to go to Skull Island."
"What?" Yang Jian was surprised. This suggestion was too strong.
