Chapter 618: Deception
With sufficient funds, the crew is naturally not so shabby in terms of props. At least clothing has been replaced by Uniqlo from street stalls, and Mazda has also been replaced by Porsche.
The production has also become more sophisticated, such as makeup, sets, scenes, etc., have been greatly improved compared to the original.
The result is that the idol aura of f4 is more abundant!
In late April, Meteor Garden was broadcast on China Television, and instantly set off a wave of enthusiasm on the other side.
However, this craze is only fermented locally for the time being, and has not yet spread to other parts of Asia. Therefore, Li Weidong did not start a supporting brand promotion plan.
After a few months, when Meteor Garden became popular in other parts of Asia, it was the time when Puppy Appliances began to exert its strength. The advertisement of Puppy Appliances endorsed by f4 had to wait until then. .
People who haven't experienced that era probably don't know how popular Meteor Garden is.
However, six versions of this TV series have been remade in 20 years, which is enough to show the popularity of Meteor Garden.
Except for Meteor Garden, only Mr. Jin Yong can remake six editions in 20 years. For example, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Eight Parts of the Dragon, there have been about six remakes in the past 20 years, and the other two are also very popular The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Legend of the Dragon Sword. to the sixth edition.
Moreover, the works of Mr. Jin Yong are mainly reproduced in the three places on both sides of the strait, and only the Chinese circle is affected. And Meteor Garden is in Japan. There are remakes in South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries, and the influence abroad is even greater.
At the same time, the nba in the United States has also ended its journey for this season.
The Lakers have won the championship trophy for two consecutive years. As for the Lakers' opponent this year, the Philadelphia 76ers, it is also a glorious defeat.
Kobe's strength is stronger than last year, and the ko combination's use of the triangle offense is also more mature. This year's Lakers reached the playoffs and advanced to the finals with a record of unbeaten victories.
The Philadelphia 76ers, relying on Iverson's single-core team to lead the team to the finals, could have been called great, but when facing the powerful Lakers, Iverson directly gave the Lakers a blow, Scored 48 points in the first game of the finals, leading the team to victory over the Lakers.
Although the 76ers lost all the next four games, Iverson was undoubtedly among the superstars.
Kobe's performance is also very impressive, averaging 29.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the playoffs, which also shows the level of a superstar.
The other three players signed by Feiyue Sports also performed very well.
This year, Carter averaged 27.6 points per game in the regular season, and once again entered the All-Star as the top ticket, which shows that his popularity is still overwhelming.
In the playoffs, Carter led his team to the Eastern Conference semifinals. In the semifinals, they met the 76ers led by Iverson. In the end, they fought seven games and were eliminated because they missed the lore. In this round of the series, both Iverson and Carter have scored 50 points in a single game.
Metta Shiping, who is in the second grade, has almost the same statistics as last season, but he managed to secure his position in the team.
Chicago is already a big city, and because of Jordan, the basketball market in Chicago is very large. Ci Shiping stabilized his position as the main force of the Bulls, which also made his popularity soar.
The most obvious improvement is Tracy McGrady.
After the end of last season, McGrady left the Raptors, joined the Magic, and then logically became the core of the Magic.
Tracy McGrady, as the core of the team, finally showed his strong offensive ability. McGrady's scoring average this season has soared from 15.4 to 26.8. And was successfully selected as an All-Star.
At this time, McGrady was less than 21 years old, and before the age of 21, there were only two players who averaged 26 points per game, one was Jordan and the other was O'Neal.
Many people in later generations will regard McGrady as the most talented of the four shooting guards.
It also makes sense. Being able to play such perfect statistics at such a young age is really full of talent and has an unlimited future!
The excellent performance of the four endorsement players has also made Feiyue Sports rise. In the first quarter of 2001, the sales volume of Feiyue's basketball shoes has jumped to the fifth place in the United States, second only to Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Converse. It has become a rising star of the American sports brand.
At Nike's headquarters, the assistant handed the latest scouting report to Dyson.
There should be very good young people this year, right? I still remember that this year's March Madness game was very exciting. Many of those young people should participate in this year's NBA draft! Dyson said.
Yes. The assistant nodded, and continued; Sean Battier from Duke University, and Jason Richardson from Michigan State University have both signed up for this year's NBA draft.
Richardson? I am very impressed with him, he is an excellent player. Dyson nodded, and continued:
As for Sean Battier, this year Duke University played against the University of Maryland, which is simply the greatest comeback in NCAA history, thanks to Battier's several key three-pointers.
It's a pity that he is already a senior player, and he is a bit old after all. If he is a freshman player and can perform like this, he will probably become a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick.
The assistant replied: This year's top candidates are all big men, three Americans, and one Spaniard.
The Spaniard you are talking about is Pau Gasol who just won the La Liga championship! Our European division has been paying attention to this young man very early and has also given him an endorsement contract. I heard that there are already teams in the NBA Very interested in him.
Dyson paused, then continued; But this year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Wizards. The Wizards have already handed over the management of the team to Jordan. From what I know about Jordan, he will not choose a foreign player as the No. 1 pick. .”
At this time, Jordan had already acquired the equity of Wizards 5 for US$20 million and became the small boss of the Wizards, and the big boss of the Wizards also handed over the management of the team to Jordan.
Jordan lived the days of sitting in his office drinking coffee, smoking cigars, or watching his team play in the team box.
However, the results of the Wizards were too bleak, which made the ball market extremely bleak. Coupled with some other reasons, it eventually led to another comeback of Jordan.
Because of Jordan's comeback, the Wizards went from the worst market in the NBA to the hottest market in the NBA in an instant. Even when they were playing away games, many fans cheered for the Wizards.
According to nba regulations, active players cannot hold team shares, so before Jordan came back, he sold the shares to the big boss of the Wizards, and agreed to repurchase them at the original price after retirement.
As a result, when Jordan retired again, the owner of the Wizards decided not to sell the shares to Jordan. At this time, the Wizards' ball market has already recovered a lot because of Jordan. A retired Jordan has no value in the eyes of the Wizards owner, so he simply reneges on the debt.
This matter made Jordan very angry. Fortunately, the NBA immediately expanded its army, and Jordan also has his own team, which is the Charlotte Bobcats.
Nike has cooperated with Jordan for nearly 20 years. Dyson, as one of the earliest employees of Nike, has been dealing with Jordan for 20 years. He also has a certain understanding of Jordan and knows that if Jordan has the No. Will draft a non-American player.
If the Wizards chose Gasol in 2001, maybe after Jordan came back again, even if the Wizards could not win the championship, they would still have a chance to hit the Eastern Conference championship.
I only heard Dyson then asked: Who are those three big American men?
Do you know the 'High School Three Treasures'? The assistant then explained: Eddie Curry from Illinois, Tyson Chandler from California, and Kwame Brown from South Carolina!
You mean, the three high school students who are most likely to compete for the No. 1 prize this year? Dyson showed a surprised expression.
Yes, sir. The assistant continued: Although they are only high school students, their strength has been recognized by many scouts, and in recent years there have been several high school student players who have become All-Star players, so there will be some Have high hopes for them.”
The scouting reports of these three high school students are also in it? Dyson asked.
Yes, the first three are. Zhu Zhuo replied.
Dyson immediately opened the scouting report and read it.
The NCAA college basketball league in the United States is very popular. Many college basketball stars are also well-known figures in the United States.
However, each state runs its own high school league. The stars of the high school league are often well-known only in their own state, and no one knows them outside their own state.
So Dyson doesn't know much about this so-called three treasures of high school.
Eddie Curry was hailed as O'Neal's successor when he was in high school. His body is very strong. Playing in the high school league is also like O'Neal in the NBA. As long as he enters the inside, he is unstoppable.
However, Eddie Curry was ruined by lack of self-discipline. After he entered the NBA, he only played well for two or three years before he began to indulge his weight. Being too obese affected his physical fitness and brought him injuries. In the end, I couldn't get along in the nba, so I had to play in the cba.
Compared with Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler is a player more familiar to fans. Chandler in high school was six centimeters shorter than later generations, and his body was also a little thin, looking like a thin bamboo pole.
But at that time, Chandler was better in terms of pace, running and body flexibility, and his shooting touch was very soft. After entering the NBA, probably in order to have better physical confrontation, he trained himself into a muscular man.
As for Kwame Brown, known as the parallel import champion in later generations, he was a god-like existence on the court in high school.
At this time, Kwame Brown was taller than Tyson Chandler, but physically stronger than Eddie Curry. And his skills are very good, he can attack inside and shoot outside, his bounce and speed are top-notch, and he can even dribble and fast break like a guard. And has a very good passing ability, not afraid of being double-teamed, and because of his height and long arms, he has a large defensive area and is a top shot-blocker.
At that time, the scouts gave Kwame Brown a consistent and positive evaluation. Except for his mediocre back-up ability and immature offensive and defensive timing, everything else was almost perfect. For high school players, the back-up ability and offensive and defensive timing can grow and improve with age.
In terms of player templates, the lower limit given to Kwame Brown at the time was Garnett, and the upper limit was a combination of Marlong and Webber.
The combination of Malone and Webber is scary to think about!
With such a high evaluation, it is no wonder that Jordan was fooled and chose Kwame Brown as the champion.
Dyson also showed a surprised expression after reading Kwame Brown's scouting report.
Is there such a perfect player? And he is a big insider. This guy has a great possibility of becoming the No. As a brand spokesperson, it is also very helpful for brand promotion.”
Dyson pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: Is there any movement at Feiyue Sports? Have they signed another 'Ten Thousand Boys'?
I haven't heard any movement in this regard so far. Zhuo Zhuo said.
Feiyue Sports has grown rapidly in recent years, which has a lot to do with the brand ambassadors they signed. Kobe won the championship again this year, and he is now considered a superstar; Carter is the All-Star vote king, yes The most popular football star in the United States.
McGrady also ushered in a big explosion this year. If this data can be maintained continuously, there will be another superstar in the NBA, and Artest also seems to have star potential.
Signing a rookie player for a sports brand is like betting in Las Vegas. Since it is a bet, it means that the bet is less, and it is not more. However, Feiyue Sports hit the bet every time, and won the big prize every time!
It has to be said that they have a unique vision in selecting rookies, so we have to pay close attention to Feiyue Sports' actions to see which rookie they plan to sign, and then we can directly cut off from them, maybe we can get a future player Superstar!
Li Weidong also flew to the United States in person. He hopes to invite Kobe to China in the summer to attend the opening ceremony of Feiyue's flagship store in China, and to do a few more brand promotion activities by the way.
After rapid development in recent years, Feiyue Sports has also encountered a bottleneck in its expansion in the United States.
Now standing in front of Feiyue are Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Converse, the four giant sports brands. If Feiyue Sports wants to surpass the previous competitors, it needs more time to accumulate brands.
Now that the development in the United States has encountered calm, Li Weidong decided to simply switch from export to domestic sales and open up business in the Chinese market.
China's economy is about to enter a period of rapid growth, and with the increase of ordinary people's income, sports brands have also entered a period of rapid growth. In the past few years, those Chinese companies that did OEMs have begun to play their own brands. There are as many brand franchise stores as there are drugstores now.
Naturally, Li Weidong can't miss this wave of bonuses. He wants to bring Feiyue Sports back to China to seize the domestic market.
At this time, the effects of these brand spokespersons signed by Li Weidong became apparent.
Domestic sports brands in this era have not evolved to the stage of signing NBA stars. If Li Weidong can invite Kobe to China, it will definitely make Feiyue Sports a blockbuster.
James Bond submitted two documents to Li Weidong, one was the financial report of Feiyue Sports last quarter, and the other was the scouting report of some rookies this year.
This year's rookies are full of talents! Li Weidong flipped through the scouting report and saw many familiar names.
The quality of rookies this year is indeed much higher than last year. James Bond continued to ask; Boss, who do you prefer?
If I were to choose the No. 1 pick, I would choose one from Spain's Pau Gasol and France's Tony Parker. Li Weidong said with a smile.
They are not American players. I am afraid it will be difficult to become the champion. James Bond said.
Yes, and they are already famous stars in Europe. They have already signed endorsement contracts with sports brands. It should not be our turn. Li Weidong replied.
James Bond said: Boss, I recently heard a gossip that Nike has been watching us.
Nike? Did we offend them recently? Li Weidong asked subconsciously.
It's because the brand spokespersons we have chosen in recent years have been very successful, so Nike secretly stared at our choice of water, and they wanted to cut it off directly. James Bond then added: Not only Nike, but like other sports brands Had that thought too.
These people really want to take advantage of it! That's just right, let's take this opportunity to teach them a lesson! Let them know that it's wrong to get something for nothing.
Li Weidong took out Kwame Brown's draft report, and then said: Go and contact this person Kwame Brown! Remember to praise him hard.
How to boast? James Bond asked subconsciously.
For example, he is as strong as Karl Malone, has the solid skills of Larry Bird, the comprehensiveness of Chris Webber, the organizational ability of Jason Kidd, the calmness and maturity of Tim Duncan, and the leadership of Michael Jordan. Li Weidong talked eloquently.
After hearing this, James Bond couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
Such bragging, does anyone believe it?
No pop-up window, timely update!
