Chapter 80 Double Happiness Comes to the Door

Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and the most important thing is profit, so at present, Li Du's role on the field is not that great, and his own performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. Some critics even say that Li Du has hit the rookie wall At that time, many companies were timid to withdraw, and for the few that did not withdraw, the endorsement price also dropped again and again.

Merchants all believe that if Li Du is just like this, he can at most become a role player in the NBA.For a role player, there is no need for him to endorse his own merchandise at all.

Faced with these doubts, Pelinka said nothing. He just withdrew all the brand companies that wanted to quit, and those companies whose endorsement fees were reduced also refunded their contracts, and never talked to them about endorsements.All of a sudden, almost all of the originally thick endorsement contracts were refunded!

The rest are big brands and big companies.Their business vision is more long-term, such as Nike, they don't care whether Li Du can become a superstar, what they want is to fully open the Chinese market!They originally wanted to sign Yao Ming in 2002, but unfortunately they were preempted by Reebok.

This time, they will never give up on Li Du!Moreover, according to the survey report from Nike Asia Pacific, Asian fans prefer guards and small forwards, especially guards!Although Li Du can't be said to be a defender or a forward, he is at least an outside player, so although his popularity in Asia is not as good as that of Yao Ming, it is still rising steadily.

Adidas and Nike are both one of the two major sports brands in the world. Their business vision is no worse than Nike, and they also need to use a certain player to fully open the door to the Chinese market.Li Du, of course, is the best choice!

Reebok itself signed Yao Ming. In the past four years, because of Yao Ming, Reebok's sales in China have grown so much that they have tasted the sweetness. This time Li Du turned out to be born, and they don't want to miss it!Reebok's president, Yuri Baker, expects that if Li Du and Yao Ming join Reebok at the same time, it is very likely that Reebok will occupy an absolutely important share in the entire basketball-related market in China!

You know, although Reebok is still the third largest sports brand in the world, due to some reasons, it has already carried huge debts. If there is no booster, Reebok is likely to face the embarrassment of being acquired by Adidas!
Among the endorsement contracts Pelinka received, there are several from China, including Li Ning and Peak, but they are still relatively famous brands in China. In the United States and other countries in the world, they are still unable to compete with Nike and Adidas. fight for the front.

This time, Li Du once again proved his strength and fully demonstrated his progress through his trip to Texas!Especially after the game between the Rockets and the Lakers, coupled with the vigorous publicity of CCTV, Li Du's popularity in China skyrocketed!There is a tendency to catch up with Yao Ming!
So these companies found Pelinka again, not only increasing the quotation, but also giving a lot of concessions in terms of signing time and other aspects.

Pelinka is an agent with a very good business acumen, and he is also an agent who is extremely responsible for his clients. He thinks that it is almost the same, so when Li Du returns to Los Angeles, he finds Li Du and plans to have a wedding with Li Du. Get up and discuss which one to choose as an endorsement.

When Pelinka drove to Li Du's house, Li Du was getting bored with Priti, who brought Li Du an invitation from Hollywood.It is not to invite Li Du to make a movie. Although Li Du is very popular now, all directors and production companies have no idea whether he can act. No one will do such a risky thing as inviting him to make a movie. Yes, at least not yet!
The thing is, Purity has now agreed to be a part of the movie "Paradise for the Wrist Cutters".The estimated investment of this film is about 1000 million US dollars. In Hollywood, such a film can only be regarded as a medium investment, but for Purity, who has always hoped to get an official role and is still a newcomer, it is enough!

Thanks to the introduction of Kobe and Li Du, Purity now knows many big-name actors and directors in Hollywood. This time, Purity was entrusted by the great director Quentin Tarantino and invited Li Du to his home. By the way Ask Li Du how to do some movements in martial arts, how to shoot and other issues.

Quentin Tarantino filmed the first and second parts of the smash hit "Kill Bill" in 2003 and 2004, both of which achieved good box office.Both the studio and Tarantino are gearing up for a third Kill Bill installment.

The problem he encounters now is that in the previous two-step movie, he used a lot of action elements in Chinese Kung Fu, showing a completely different action scene for American action movies. An important reason for its success, but after all, he doesn't know much about Chinese Kung Fu. In the second part, some fans and critics have already criticized that the action scenes are not much improved from the first part.

When Tarantino and the production company were worrying about the action shooting of the third part, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Du had made a big splash in the NBA with his unique Chinese Kung Fu moves, and won praise from many people. like.At the party held by Kobe, he also saw Li Du's superb Chinese Kung Fu, so he contacted Li Du through Preti, hoping to get Li Du's guidance for his film.

After listening to Priti's narration, Li Du searched for information about the "Kill Bill" series of movies in his mind.In this series of movies, although the heroine mainly uses Chinese kung fu, the weapon is still a Japanese sword. As an action movie that wants to show kung fu, it seems not very good to be so mixed.

Of course, whether Li Du accepted Tarantino's invitation depends on Preti's attitude.So Li Du asked: "Prity, do you think I should go?"

Knowing that Li Du asked this question, she actually left everything to her, so she smiled and said, "Of course he should go. Since he is looking for you to learn Chinese Kung Fu, then you can take this opportunity to teach you the boxing techniques you have learned. Instill some concepts in Chinese culture into him and others first, which is also very beneficial to the spread of Chinese culture!"

"Hmm..." Li Du nodded, pondered for a while, and then made a decision: "Okay, since that's the case. I will accept his invitation!"

Preti brought a cup of hot tea to Li Du, lying in Li Du's arms, and said to him: "Li, I know you accepted it for me to get more opportunities in Hollywood in the future. Tarantino's movies also cater to American public taste, I think we should change some American people's perception of China and India!"

Li Du kissed Priti lightly on the forehead, and said: "You are right, movies are a broader platform than basketball! I think, maybe for Hollywood, I should use a different way to better pass these Great directors and stars, promote our culture."
