my golden age

Chapter 11 Co-production cover
Home team locker room!
Kobe was very happy, he kneaded Gao Fei's shoulders, and joked with him: "According to Phil's final arrangement, you were obviously in charge of the feint, but in the end you got the limelight."

Gao Fei's hands were held by Odom and Vujacic respectively, and he had to shrink his neck and say: "I felt hot in the end. I'm sorry for the folks in Los Angeles if I don't vote."

Kobe was just joking, saying to Odom and Vujacic: "Take off his clothes."

Seeing that the three of them couldn't restrain Gao Fei, Luke Wharton ran over to join in the fun and helped them take off the vest.

"Big brothers, stop! The reporters are still filming!" Gao Fei couldn't help laughing after being scratched by Vujacic, and begged for mercy from the big brothers.

"It's okay to let you go, you have to agree to our conditions."

"What condition?" Gao Fei heard the phone ringing in his locker, and continued, "As long as it doesn't cross the line, I agree."

Kobe stopped his movements and said, "We have taken care of you a lot during this time, and it's not too much for you to pay for a meal for your teammates?"

"Not too much, not too much." Gao Fei quickly agreed, "When we arrive in Houston, I'll treat everyone to dinner." He felt heartache when he said this.

"Why not a treat in Los Angeles?" Odom asked.

"The prices in Los Angeles are high, and it is a little bit to save a little."

"Hey, you're really picky!" Odom didn't expect this to be the reason.

Kobe smiled and said: "Gao doesn't have much money, it would be nice to treat guests."

Odom suddenly realized: "No wonder he doesn't go to nightclubs!"

Gao Fei put on his jersey again, walked to the locker, picked up the phone, and called his agent Dan Fagan.

"Gao, I'll pick you up at the Toyota Training Center at noon tomorrow. There's a magazine cover shoot." Fagan directly explained the purpose of his visit.

Gao Fei asked curiously, "Which magazine's cover?"

""SLAM""

"Is there any remuneration?" Gao Fei's annual salary is more than 100 million US dollars, excluding taxes, he can only get a few thousand dollars per game.Although the initial crisis has eased, it is still far from financial freedom, and I am more concerned about the issue of remuneration.

"There is not much remuneration, mainly the opportunity to show your face. You need attention now, don't worry too much about money gains and losses." Dan Fagan comforted, "You continue to work hard and perform well, and I will help you win a large sneaker contract."

Gao Fei thanked Dan Fagan, hung up the phone, turned around and saw Vujacic alone in the locker room, with the sneakers beside him, ran to pick them up, and put them on top of his locker.

He didn't stop, just ran, left the Staples Center, and trotted home.Turning on the system mode, only three abilities have been improved.

Fighting spirit: A———A!

State of mind: A——A+!

Fearlessness: B+——A-!

These three items have not changed for a long time, and they can be improved, making Gao Fei's already happy mood even better.This night, he had the best sleep since coming to Los Angeles.

The next morning, the major sports channels broadcast the official top five goals of yesterday's game.Goofy's dunks and lore occupy the top two places, and he was instantly known by fans outside of Los Angeles.

It is not uncommon to score 50 points in a single game, and there are countless lore.Contributing to the lore in the first game, and there are wonderful dunks, coupled with the gorgeous style of play, it will naturally attract a lot of attention.

The editor-in-chief of "SLAM" magazine once hesitated between Goofy and Chris Paul, hesitating which one to invite to participate in the cover shoot.After watching the game last night, I no longer have any worries.

……

The Lakers got off to a good start, and the atmosphere in the team was very good.Kobe didn't need to fight alone to win, and was relatively tolerant, but he was still tit for tat with Gao Fei.

Gao Fei is a very talented young man. He will attack and defend with top players, and his level will improve faster than before.

After lunch, Gao Fei took the away purple jersey prepared by the equipment manager and went to the reserved venue to take the cover photo.

Dan Feigen waited for Gao Fei to fasten his seat belt, and said, "Your English level has improved so fast, you don't even need a translator to follow along."

"I have nothing to do at night, and I'm basically learning English," Gao Fei said. "I can understand what I'm learning faster when I'm in an English environment all day long."

"Keep working hard." Dan Fagan started the car, drove onto the road, and talked about the cover shoot, "There is someone taking a cover photo with you today."

"Isn't it a single cover?" Gao Fei thought that he could occupy the cover alone, but he didn't expect to share it with others.

"No. The good news is it's not with NBA players, it's with college players."

"This..." Gao Fei didn't expect to have to cooperate with college players in filming.

Dan Fagan said: "It's okay, your cover photo will appear in the first half of November, as long as you maintain a good performance during this period, it will definitely sell well."

"Do you still have to be interviewed?"

Dan Fagan felt that this was an obvious problem, and couldn't help laughing: "Since it is a magazine, of course there must be a cover story."

"Okay." Gao Fei has accepted many interviews, but there are almost no English interviews. He is afraid that he will not be able to answer the questions, and secretly hopes that the magazine will hire a translator.

Not long after, we arrived at the shooting location.

Due to limited funds, an open-air studio was used with curtains and chairs.

"Gao, hello!" A tall man with a brown mustache saw Dan Feigen and Gao Fei and came over to say hello, "I'm the photographer in charge of shooting, and we can start shooting when the player arrives. Did you bring your Lakers jersey?"

Gao Fei pointed to the shoulder bag, indicating that he brought the jersey.

The photographer took Gao Fei to the temporary changing room, changed into a Lakers jersey, and chatted with each other, waiting for his partner who hadn't come yet.

About half an hour later, a black Santana sedan pulled up outside the open-air studio, and a tall player in a University of Tennessee uniform stepped out of it.

Gao Fei noticed that she had braids, and after a closer look, she turned out to be a female player.

"This is Candice Parker, the main player of the University of Tennessee." The photographer first introduced the female players.

Gao Fei recalled hearing this name before, but couldn't remember it for a while.

The photographer then introduced Gao Fei: "This is the Lakers starting guard Gao Fei."

Dan Fegan said, "Kao, you can shake her hand."

Gao Fei hasn't held the girl's hand yet, but he is a boy, so he should take the initiative and choose to high-five Candace Parker.

Although Candace Parker has a certain reputation in the United States, he is a college player after all, and he has never dealt with foreign players, so he is a bit cautious.

"If there is no problem, how about we start shooting?" the photographer asked the two tall players.

Both Goofy and Candace Parker said they were okay, and then became "objects" for the photographer, posing in certain poses at his command for the shoot.

After shooting for 15 minutes, the photographer asked the two to take a break.

Gao Fei took the initiative to ask: "Candice, how much can you get paid for this?"

"I don't get paid," Candice Parker said.

When Gao Fei heard this, he immediately felt that his small reward was not unacceptable.
