Chapter 618 Destruction tirelessly

The crew has sufficient funds, and naturally it is not so shabby in terms of props. At least the clothing has been changed from street stalls to Uniqlo, and Mazda has also been replaced by Porsche.

The production has also become more sophisticated, such as makeup, sets, scenes, etc., which have been greatly improved compared to the original.

The result is that F4's idol aura is more abundant!

In late April, Meteor Garden was broadcast on China Television, which instantly set off a wave on the other side.

However, this craze is only fermented locally for the time being and has not spread to other parts of Asia. Therefore, Li Weidong did not start a supporting brand promotion plan.

A few months later, when Meteor Garden has set off a boom in other parts of Asia, it will be the time when Puppy Electric starts to exert its strength. The advertisement of Puppy Electric endorsed by F4 will also be launched at that time. .

How popular Meteor Garden is, people who have not experienced that era probably don't know much about it.

However, this TV series has been remade in six versions in 20 years, which is enough to see the popularity of Meteor Garden.

In addition to Meteor Garden, only Mr. Jin Yong can do it in six editions in 20 years. For example, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Eight Dragons have been remade in six editions in the past 20 years. The other two are also very popular, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Eternal Dragon Slayer, probably not. to the sixth edition.

Moreover, the works of Mr. Jin Yong are mainly remade in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, which only affects the Chinese circle. Meteor Garden is set in Japan. South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries have remakes, and their influence abroad is even greater.

...

At the same time, the NBA in the United States also ended its season.

The Lakers have won the championship trophy for two consecutive years. As for the Lakers' opponents this year, the Philadelphia 76ers, they are also honored to be defeated.

Kobe's strength is stronger than last year, and the KO combination's use of triangle offense is also more mature. This year's Lakers entered the playoffs and advanced to the finals with a complete victory record.

The Philadelphia 76ers, relying on Iverson to lead the team to the finals, could have been called great, but when facing the powerful Lakers, Iverson directly gave the Lakers a dismay. In the first game of the finals, he scored 48 points and led the team to defeat the Lakers.

Although the last four games, the 76ers all lost, but Iverson is undoubtedly among the ranks of superstars.

Kobe Bryant's performance is also very dazzling, averaging 29.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the playoffs.

It also showed 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 ticket king, which shows that his popularity is still bursting.

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 of missing a lore. In this round of the series, Iverson and Carter both had 50-point performances in a single game.

Ci Shiping, a second-year player, had similar numbers to last season, but he managed to secure his place in the team's starting lineup.

Chicago is a big city, and because of Jordan, the basketball market in Chicago is very large. Ci Shiping secured his position as the main force of the Bulls, which also made his popularity soar.

The most obvious progress is when Tracy McGrady.

After last season, McGrady left the Raptors, joined the Magic, and then naturally became the core of the Magic.

As the core of the team, Tracy McGrady finally played its powerful offensive ability. McGrady's scoring average has jumped from 15.4 points to 26.8 points per game this season. 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 could average 26 points per game, one was Jordan and the other was O'Neal.

Many later generations will see Tracy McGrady as the most talented of the four, and it makes sense. To be able to play such perfect data at such a young age is truly full of talent, and the future is limitless!

The outstanding performance of the four endorsement players also made Feiyue Sports rise. In the first quarter of 2001, the sales volume of leaping basketball shoes has jumped to the fifth place in the United States, after Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Converse. Become a rising star of 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, and many of those young people should participate in this year's NBA draft! Dyson said.

Yes. The assistant nodded and continued; Sean Battier of Duke University, and Jason Richardson of Michigan State University, both signed up for this year's NBA draft.

Richardson? I'm very impressed with him, he's an excellent player. Dyson nodded and continued:

As for Shane Battier, Duke's game against Maryland this year was the greatest comeback in NCAA history, thanks to a couple of key 3-pointers from Battier.

It is a pity that he is already a senior player, and he is a bit old after all. If he is a freshman player, if he can perform like this, it is estimated that he will become a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick.

The assistant replied: This year's top picks are all big men, three Americans, and one Spaniard.

The Spaniard you're talking about is Pau Gasol, who just won the La Liga championship! Our European branch has been paying attention to this guy very early and has also given him an endorsement contract. I heard that there is already a ball in the NBA. The team is very interested in him.

Dyson paused, then continued; But this year's No. 1 pick is from the Wizards. The Wizards have 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 acquired a 5% stake in the Wizards for $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 his days sitting in the office drinking coffee, smoking a cigar, or watching his team play in the team box.

However, the results of the Wizards are too bleak, which makes the market also bleak, plus some other reasons, and finally contributed to Jordan's comeback again.

Because of Jordan's comeback, the Wizards went from the most bleak market in the NBA to the hottest market in the NBA in an instant. Even when they played 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 to sell the shares to Jordan. At this time, the Wizards' market has recovered a lot because of Jordan. A retired Jordan has no value in the eyes of the Wizards owner, so he simply defaults on his debt.

This incident made Jordan very angry. Fortunately, the NBA immediately expanded its army, and Jordan also had his own team, the Charlotte Bobcats.

Nike and Jordan have cooperated for nearly 20 years. Dyson, as one of Nike's earliest employees, has been dealing with Jordan for 20 years. He also has a certain understanding of Jordan. A non-American player will be selected.

If in 2001, the Wizards chose Gasol, maybe after Jordan returns again, even if the Wizards can't win the championship, they will have a chance to hit the Eastern Conference championship.

Dyson then asked, Who are those three big American men?

You know the 'high school trio'? the assistant explained: Eddie Curry from Illinois, Tyson Chandler from California, and Kwame Brown from South Carolina!

You mean, the three high school students are the most likely to compete for the top spot 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, several high school players have become All-Star players, so there will be some High hopes for them.

Is the scouting report of the three high school students in it? Dyson asked.

Yes, the first three are. Help replied.

Dyson immediately opened the scouting report and looked at 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, high school leagues are run by each state itself. Stars of high school leagues often only have a certain reputation in their own state, and no one knows them outside their own state.

So Dyson doesn't know much about the so-called three treasures of high school.

Eddie Curry was known as O'Neal's successor in his high school years. He was very strong and played in the high school league, just like O'Neal in the NBA. As long as he enters the interior, no one can stop him .

However, Eddie Curry was destroyed by lack of self-discipline. After he entered the NBA, he only played two or three years of good football, and he began to indulge his weight. Being too fat affected his physical fitness and brought him injuries. , In the end, I can't get along in the NBA, so I can only play the CBA.

Compared with Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler is a player that fans are more familiar with. In high school, Chandler was six centimeters shorter than later generations, and his body was also a little thin, looking like a thin bamboo pole.

But then Chandler was better in pace, movement and flexibility, and his shot was very soft. After entering the NBA, probably in order to have better physical confrontation, I trained myself into a muscular man.

As for Kwame Brown, known as the parallel champion in later generations, he was a god-like existence on the court during his high school days.

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, he can also shoot outside, his bounce, speed are first-class, and he can even dribble and fast break like a guard. Moreover, he has a very good passing ability and is not afraid of being double-teamed. At the same time, due to his height and long arms, he has a large defensive area and is a top shot blocker.

At that time, scouts gave Kwame Brown a positive evaluation of consistency. Except for the average post-up ability and the immature attack and defense timing, the others were almost full marks. For high school players, the ability to post up and the timing of offense and defense can both grow and improve with age.

In terms of player templates, the lower limit given to Kwame Brown at that time was Garnett, and the upper limit was the combination of Marlon and Webber.

The combination of Marlon and Weber is terrifying 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 looked surprised when he read Kwame Brown's scouting report.

Is there such a perfect player? And he's still a big man inside. This guy is very likely to become the No. 1 pick! It's a pity that the shoes of inside players are often not as good as outside players. But a top inside player, As a brand spokesperson, it is also very helpful for brand promotion.”

Dyson pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, Is there any news from Feiyue Sports? Did they sign another 'Million Boy'?

I haven't heard any movement in this regard. Help 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 ticket king again. America's most popular player.

Tracy 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 that Artest, who also seems to have star potential.

A sports brand signing a rookie player is like a bet in Las Vegas. Since it is a bet, it means that the bet is less, and the bet is more. However, this leap sports bet every time, and it has also won the jackpot every time!

It has to be said that they have a unique vision in selecting rookies, so we have to keep an eye on Feiyue Sports to see which rookie they plan to sign, and then we can cut straight from it, maybe we can get a future Superstar!

...

Li Weidong also flew to the United States in person. He hopes to invite Kobe to go to China in the summer to attend the opening ceremony of Feiyue's flagship store in China, and by the way, he will have a few brand promotion activities.

After rapid development in recent years, Feiyue Sports' expansion in the United States has also encountered a bottleneck.

Now standing in front of Feiyue are the four giant sports brands Nike, Adi, Reebok and Converse. If Feiyue Sports wants to surpass its previous competitors, it will take more time for brand accumulation.

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 in the income of ordinary people, sports brands have also entered a period of rapid growth. In the past few years, those Chinese companies that were OEMs have begun to launch their own brands. There are as many brand franchise stores as there are pharmacies today.

Li Weidong naturally cannot miss this wave of dividends. He wants to bring Feiyue Sports back to China and seize the domestic market.

At this time, the effect of these brand spokespersons signed by Li Weidong became apparent.

In this era, domestic sports brands have not evolved to the stage of signing NBA stars. If Li Weidong can invite Kobe to China, he will definitely make Feiyue Sports a blockbuster.

James Bond submitted two documents to Li Weidong, one is the financial report of Feiyue Sports last quarter, and the other is the scouting report of some rookies this year.

This year's rookies are also full of talents! Li Weidong flipped through the scouting report and saw many familiar names.

The quality of this year's rookies is indeed much higher than last year. James Bond continued to ask; Boss, who are you more optimistic about?

If I were to pick 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 is difficult to become the champion. James Bond said.

Yeah, 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 rumor that Nike has been watching us.

Nike? We offended them recently? Li Weidong asked subconsciously. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

It's because the brand ambassadors we have chosen in recent years have been very successful, so Nike is secretly staring at us to choose water, and they want to cut the beard directly. James Bond went on to add: Not just Nike, like other sports. Brands have this idea too.”

These people are trying to get a bargain! That's right, take this opportunity to teach them a lesson! Let them know that it's not right to get something for nothing.

Li Weidong took out Kwame Brown's draft report, and then said: Go and contact this man Kwame Brown! Remember to praise him hard.

How to praise? James Bond asked subconsciously.

For example, he's as strong as Karl Malone, with the solid skills of Larry Bird, the versatility of Chris Webber, the playmaking ability of Jason Kidd, the calm and maturity of Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan-like leadership qualities. Li Weidong talked eloquently.

Hearing this, James Bond couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Such bragging, does anyone believe it?
