NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time I saw her was in a bad situation.

Chapter 167 Agents in the 90s

Los Angeles.

Since watching the All-Star Game, Scarlett Johansson has been so busy that even her phone calls are handled by her assistant.

For an actress who is in the rising stage of her career,

During this period, she was busy filming “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, and Scarlett’s personal free time can be said to have been compressed to the extreme.

For an actress whose career is on the rise, one film a year is the basic plate when there is a role to play, and some can even do two or three films, and the production process in Hollywood is very efficient, so although being a star in this era is a glamorous career, being busy has also become the norm.

“Ms. Scarlett, I received a call from New York two days ago…”

During the break in the theater, the assistant looked at the incoming call notification on the phone and reminded.

“New York?”

Scarlett, who had just eaten two mouthfuls of rice, quickly took the phone from the assistant and called back the last call record.

Seeing the boss so nervous, the assistant was a little confused.

You know, after entering the formal filming stage, Scarlett is a complete workaholic, and I have been helping her with the news these days.

But now it’s just a call from New York, which makes the workaholic so nervous…

New York!

“Wang, it seems that your friendship is still limited. Women in the entertainment industry are not that simple. This is not the opinion of an agent, but the advice of a senior to you.”

Falk showed a meaningful smile.

After making three consecutive calls in two hours without getting through, Falk combined his past experience and strengthened his views on those actors in the entertainment industry.

Wang Song disagreed.

“Falk, maybe the other party is just busy?”

He didn’t care about it. There was no reply for two hours, which only showed that the friendship between the two people was not that deep.

“I told you a long time ago to stay away from those women. They are short-sighted and have no vision, not to mention helping you in your career.”

Falk’s heartfelt words did not elicit a reply from Wang Song.

Instead, Wang Song’s stunned look made Falk subconsciously become a Wudang Sect.

The scene became extremely awkward for a while, and at this moment, Falk’s phone rang.

“Hello? Is that Wang?”

A gentle female voice sounded, and Falk was struck by lightning, and silently handed the phone to Wang Song.

He didn’t expect the other party to call back.

Then.

He witnessed Wang Song smiling and communicating with the other party throughout the whole process, and through the sound of the phone speaker, he could vaguely hear the other party’s continuous responses.

At the moment Wang Song put down the phone, Wang Song made an OK gesture and put the stubborn old man in the office into standby mode.

Originally, he wanted to use his own resources to help Wang Song launch the first promotion, but he didn’t expect that this Chinese boy had mastered the ability to negotiate with American stars in just half a year.

And judging from the other side’s response, the two of them are not ordinary.

On the other end of the phone.

The assistant who was also listening to the phone looked at Scarlett in disbelief and asked hesitantly: “Scarlett, I’m sorry I heard something, but are you sure you want to accept the invitation from that guy?”

Scarlett answered the phone readily, as if she had done something as simple as drinking water.

But the assistant really heard from the other end of the phone that Scarlett agreed to do publicity for a brand.

Although Scarlett, who is only 20 years old, is not a big star, as an assistant to someone around her, she knows that brand promotion is often paid well, and the agent will screen the brand qualifications, quotations and Scarlett’s schedule.

But the girl in front of her, who was full of youthful vitality after hanging up the phone, actually agreed directly.

This made the assistant guess the identity of the other party: “Are you in love? Boyfriend?”

Unexpectedly, when she asked this, Scarlett shook her head repeatedly, and her face turned red like a ripe apple.

The pupils of the assistant were full of shock at Scarlett’s denial, and then sighed helplessly: “Alas, damn man!”

She became more and more curious about the identity of the other end of the phone.

···

In addition to Scarlett, Falk also used his energy to help Wang Song find many retired superstars from the last century to help promote.

Of course, among these

Jordan is not included.

And they also found someone to make a friendly appearance in the promotional advertisement, which made Wang Song deeply feel the charm of the “once” top agent.

Some people in later generations called Falk the Rich Paul of the 1990s, but Wang Song totally disagreed.

In terms of operational ability, Rich Paul can be slightly related, but once it comes to appeal, Rich Paul’s team, whose biggest player is James, can’t compare at all.

Looking at this old man with gray hair on his temples, after dialing the phone continuously, the names he called out were all famous superstars who once dominated the NBA. Wang Song knew that this promotion would be a big deal.

He is really worthy of being the top agent in the 1990s who has successively become the agent of 6 No. 1 draft picks. Wang Song only understood at this moment how this guy was able to have power and talk with Stern during the NBA lockout in 1998.

Of course, Falk’s big move is definitely not just for Wang Song.

Although Jordan’s influence began to decline sharply in the NBA in the new century after his retirement, the old man’s ambition is still very sincere.

This time the promotion of the sneakers is not only for Wang Song, but also for himself. He wants to tell Stern that the guy who used to stomp his feet in the league and make the NBA tremble is back.

When he signed with Nike on behalf of Jordan, Nike was just a small fry in front of Converse, the official sponsor of the NBA.

Today, the rise of AJ is naturally inseparable from Jordan’s success in the arena, but if it weren’t for Falk’s foresight, Jordan might only be a signed sneaker owner of Adidas or Converse.

The premise of Falk’s big battle is to rely on Wang Song. He went from suspicion at the beginning to signing and then firmly believed that this Chinese boy could gain a foothold in the NBA and become famous. As long as Wang Song maintains his current performance, he is confident that today’s Nike will be tomorrow’s Anta.

······

Falk was busy here, so Wang Song was naturally busy too.

After shooting the advertisement with many superstars, he handed over all the off-court matters to Falk and returned to the court.

Late March.

On the 16th, the Knicks played against the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns, led by Marbury, Stoudemire and “hacker” Marion, ended in a miserable defeat. Wang Song scored 40 points against Stoudemire, setting a new scoring record.

This power forward, who once competed with Yao Min, once again witnessed the dominance of the Chinese center. Stoudemire scored 15 points and 6 rebounds in the game. As a sophomore, he played a game worse than his rookie season.
