against the front

Chapter 297 The water is deep

"Hi, my name is Yang Mi, I am your loyal fan, I will watch every game you play in the NBA."

After the end of Adidas' China tour, Yan Hua arrived in Shanghai again to participate in the last stop of all his commercial activities this summer, the shooting scene of Pepsi's new commercial.

In order to compete with its competitor Coca-Cola for the huge Huaguo market, PepsiCo invests huge sums of money in advertising every year, and signs a lot of popular stars as its brand spokespersons, such as Leslie Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Nicholas Tse, Jay Chou, etc. The superstars in the entertainment industry who were extremely popular were all recruited by Pepsi Cola. Even Yao Ming had an endorsement contract with Pepsi Cola.

After Yao Ming, Hua Guo is the most successful and popular player in the NBA. Naturally, Pepsi will not give up Yan Hua to his competitors. In Yan Hua's first year in the NBA, he has made a name for himself in the NBA After that, Pepsi found Yan Hua's agent, Bill Duffy, and signed a four-year, $4 million endorsement contract with Yan Hua.

Taking people's money means eliminating disasters with others. As one of Pepsi's spokespersons in China, Yan Hua naturally has to find time to shoot commercials and promotional videos for Pepsi.

Perhaps it was because of winning the championship and the skyrocketing popularity. After Yan Hua came to the commercial shooting scene, he found that many of the staff on the scene claimed to be his fans. Even the other female spokesperson Yang Mi who participated in the commercial shooting , all claiming to be Yan Hua's fans.

"I like your TV series very much, especially Xiao Guo Xiang." Yan Hua likes watching costume dramas very much, so he has some impressions of Yang Mi who has appeared in many costume TV dramas, especially Xiao Dongxie Guo Xiang in the new version of Condor Heroes , was even more impressive, but to Yan Hua's surprise, little Guo Xiang had grown up so much now.

"Really? Do you really watch my TV series?" After Yan Hua mentioned the names of several TV series that Yang Mi has starred in, Yang Mi looked at Yan Hua with an incredulous expression, as if he had discovered a new world. It's because Yan Hua, an athlete who trains and competes every day, probably doesn't have much time to watch TV.

"Of course it is true. I like watching costume dramas very much." Facing Yang Mi's doubts, Yan Hua also smiled and gave a serious answer in the affirmative, and also told Yang Mi a few details in the TV dramas , to prove that he has really watched her TV series.

After a bit of politeness and chatting, Yan Hua and Yang Mi got to know each other well. After filming the post-commercial promotional video, the two even left each other a phone call.

Afterwards, Yan Hua set off for BJ to meet up with his teammates from the national team and start preparing for the upcoming World Championships in Turkey.

The Huaguo men's basketball team has already started training and preparing for the game at the end of June, but after a series of warm-up matches, the results are a bit embarrassing. With Yao Ming absent due to injury and unable to play, the Huaguo men's basketball team can It is said that they have been defeated repeatedly, but those young players who had high hopes failed to provoke the Huaguo men's basketball team as they wished. Yi Jianlian's personal performance is not to be said, but he lacks leadership qualities, and he performed well in the BJ Olympics Sun Yue is completely lost now, so Bob Deng Huade, the head coach of Fireline, regards Yan Hua as his life-saving straw.

After going through the simple procedures for joining the team, Bob Deng Huade directly led Yan Hua into the Huaguo men's basketball training ground, clapped his hands, called all the players together, and began to go to the training ground. The players here introduce their new teammates.

"This is Yan Hua, the NBA champion of this season, the finals MVP, the best defensive player, the number one center in the NBA, your new teammate, starting today he will join us and go to Turkey with us to win glory for the country. "

Although the players on the scene were relatively familiar with Yan Hua, when Bob Deng Huade introduced Yan Hua to them, he still introduced Yan Hua's honors to them one by one, wanting to use this as a deterrent These thoughtful guys.

And after Bob Deng Huade finished speaking, under his leadership, there was a burst of applause on the training ground. Some people applauded sincerely, while others were obviously perfunctory.

The players in front of me are not fans of Yan Hua, nor are they fans of the commercial filming scene. Although Yan Hua is on the other side of the ocean, he is popular in the NBA, but these are of no use in the national team. Apart from Yi Jianlian who played with Yan Hua in the NBA and sincerely hoped that the national team would become stronger, most of the rest of the players were not like Yan Hua. Even Yao Ming, the long-time leader of the national team, was not a So convinced, let alone Yan Hua who has just arrived.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Yan Hua. It's a pleasure to meet you." Although Yao Ming had a detailed discussion with Yan Hua before coming to the national team, he hoped that Yan Hua could quickly integrate the national team and establish prestige in the national team, so that In the future, he will lead the national team to move forward, and Yan Hua also wants to fulfill Yao Ming's expectation and entrustment, but when he first joined the team, Yan Hua's attitude is still very low. Leave a thorny head, and the impression that you don't get along well.

After introducing each other, Deng Huade did not let Yan Hua go directly to the field to participate in the training, but let Yan Hua warm up on the sidelines first, and at the same time watch the level of the teammates of the national team.

Poor, very poor, this is Yan Hua's first impression after watching the training game. In Yan Hua's view, none of the ten players who played against each other can reach the level of the king's rotation except Yi Jianlian. Even Dante Green, the worst player in the Kings' rotation, is a cut above many of them.

It doesn't matter if you are poor in strength, good attitude, hard work, and fighting spirit. Just like the king's second-round pick Danny Green, he is active in training, not afraid of hardship, and is always full of fighting spirit and passion on the court. Such a player, Even if he doesn't play well, you can't blame him, because he has indeed tried his best, but the guys in the Huaguo national team all paddled in a training match, which is a bit unreasonable.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yan Hua really understood why when he called Yi Jianlian before he came to the national team to report, Yi Jianlian would tell himself that the national team was in deep water.
