"Ding! You got a gift from Unai·Simon!"
"You won the Serie C championship gift package!"
"Open the Serie C championship gift package, you get the player skills Heading Mastery, Backward Header Flick, Pull-and-Lift Ball Technique, you get the star skill Ibrahimovic's Scorpion Kick, you got the superstar level skill Robben Zone, you got Moment Card Leo·Messi! You got the height increase of 2cm!"
In one breath, Lu Yang ushered in a big explosion.
It is indeed a championship gift package, very comfortable!
Unai·Simon's gift, defensive movement 70-72, clearance 70-72, blocking 70-72, explosion -76-78, foot power 76-78, jumping 65-67.
This guy can be said to be very conscientious.
The Serie C championship gift package can be said to be a super hit!
Two of the three player-level skills are related to headers, causing Lu Yang's header to skyrocket from 67 to 72.
Heading Mastery is to help players use their heads more flexibly.
The reason why Backward Header Flick has become a skill specifically is because it is often the most difficult to master it!
Backward Header Flick's attack or crossing is not as simple as hitting the football into the net with your head.
Among the entire San Remo, there are currently only two people with the ability to transfer headers. One is the big center Soguer, and the other is the center back Nagy who has a weird scoring ability.
Now, there is another Lu Yang.
Pull-and-Lift Ball Technique is a small movement at the moment the ball is released. Whether it is Dipping Shot or Low-altitude Passing, the use of this footwork is indispensable. The most important thing is that this movement can greatly increase the rotation of the football.
Therefore, the positioning ball of Lu Yang has increased from 63 to 65, and the arc has also increased from 67 to 70.
Ibrahimovic's Scorpion Kick, needless to say, once used, it is a magic ball. This skill allows Lu Yang's tight ball control to increase from 74 to 76, and also increases Lu Yang's balance attribute from 80 to 81.
At this point, Lu Yang's first attribute exceeding 80 has appeared.
And he also felt new changes.
After the attribute reaches 70, each improvement is often only 2 points.
After reaching 80, each increase is only 1 point.
As the saying goes, one can make further progress even though the gap between some stars is not big, but that little gap is the difference between one of them being an ordinary star and the other a superstar.
"Robben Zone: The whole world knows you are going to cut inside, but no one can prevent it!"
Peter Pan Robben is a man who plays football in long johns. His hair withered at a young age and he became bald early on. His appearance looks much older than his actual age, so many people say he is a little old man.
But there is a saying that goes well, I have become bald and become stronger!
Robben Cutting in and hitting the goal is a routine known all over the world, but he is able to score continuously with this seemingly single method.
A fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.
Regarding endotomy, Robben has his own unique experience.
Robben Zone also became famous because of this. It was once comparable to "star territories" such as Messi Corridor and Del Piero Zone.
The increase it brings is huge.
Offensive movement 80-81
Dribbling 80-81
Ball control 80-81
Set piece 65-67
Radian 70-72
Speed 76-78
Outbreak 78-80
Balance 81-82
Tight ball control 76-78
Not to mention, there is also a Messi Moment Card.
This is not the first time Lu Yang has gotten Messi Moment Card, but this time Messi looks significantly older.
Of course, last but not least, pay special attention to that 2cm height!
One hundred eighty five!
The strongest height of 183 on the surface is a thing of the past, and now the strongest height on land has reached 185!
Compared to the 174, this is a full eleven centimeters taller!
Momo, when I look at you from now on, I have to lower my head, otherwise I won't be able to find you!
Hahaha!
"Lu, come and have some soup! Why are you giggling all the time!" Sophia called out gently from the side to Lu Yang, who had been in a daze for a while.
"Oh, here we come!" Lu Yang stood up with his cane and came to the dining table.
His right leg has been splinted to prevent random movement and speed up recovery.
"Well, it tastes delicious!" Lu Yang drank the soup cooked by Sophia, feeling very moved in his heart.
And don't mention it, Sophia's cooking skills have improved visibly.
Moreover, Lu Yang has never tasted the taste of this soup. It always seems to be very nutritious.
"What ingredients did you add to this? It tastes very nourishing." Lu Yang asked.
"Well, let me think about it, there seems to be... Cistanche deserticola, Maca, Cynomorium..." Sophia struggled to recite the Chinese names of medicinal materials one after another. She was not very familiar with such proper nouns, but she could already communicate in simple Chinese fluently.
Poof!
Lu Yang One sip of salt soda water almost choked me to death.
Damn... This is a pot of aphrodisiac soup?
With my injury, shouldn't I drink more beef bone soup?
"Dear, these things are precious if you eat them individually, but if you eat them together, they will kill you!" Lu Yang couldn't laugh or cry. He was not yet eighteen years old, he was still young, how could he need to eat these things?
This is only used by those old-timers who wet their shoes in the wind.
I just drank so much soup, is there no problem?
"Don't worry, I've consulted some experts in traditional Chinese medicine, and it's no problem." Sophia smiled happily, and Lu Yang's words "dear" that came out of her mouth really fascinated her.
After the meal, with the help of Sophia, Lu Yang started simple recovery training.
Although the knees cannot be moved yet, the thighs and calves should be massaged regularly to promote blood flow.
Sophia took the fascial gun and helped Lu Yang beat him for half an hour.
Then we entered the second stage of restorative training, which was full-body stretching.
There are many moves in this, and Lu Yang is unable to complete it without one leg, so we must rely on Sophia.
For example, Lu Yang has a pressing action. Since the legs cannot exert force, Sophia must manually push Lu Yang's back.
"Are you ready?"
"Press harder, Sophia!"
"But I feel like I'm about to die!"
"Hang on!"
Sophia desperately pushed Lu Yang to the ground, and she even leaned on Lu Yang's back.
No, it shouldn't be said "Fuck", it should be "Fuck".
At this point, Lu Yang's back has enjoyed a new round of "pleural gun massage".
The stretching exercise lasted about an hour, and both of us were sweating profusely by the end.
Sophia Not to mention back pain, Lu Yang also has the risk of gun failure.
"I'm going to take a shower!"
Lu Yang rushed into the bathroom decisively to avoid misfiring the gun.
Sophia was lying on the sofa with his whole body weak, but he could clearly see the condition under Lu Yang's abdomen.
Finally... Lu finally reacted to her.
This is a good thing!
This summer, Lu will be eighteen, right?
Sophia counted on his fingers day by day, feeling extremely happy.
That night, Sophia had a dream.
She dreamed that she and Lu Yang were...
Similarly, that night, Lu Yang also had a dream.
He dreamed that he and Sophia had skin-to-skin contact...
When they got up the next day, the two of them rushed into their respective bathrooms almost at the same time.
But Lu Yang's mistake was that he hung his underwear on the hook and forgot to wash it.
When he went to the bathroom to look for his underwear, he found that the underwear had been washed and hung to dry.
This...
Isn't that devastated world map clearly visible to Sophia?
The scene became very embarrassing for a time!
<Sophia disappeared for a week! This time she really fell in love!>
<One week away from the circle during the period of popularity, Sophia went all out for Lu Yang!>
<Reject all invitations, Kiss of Europa love surges, love is so deep!>
<The young general is so lucky! Sophia cooks soup every day to recuperate and enters the loving mode in advance?>
<This injury is enviable! Sophia helped him turn around, the two loved each other like a family!>
<Sophia is in love? She may lose tens of millions of salary for Lu Yang!>
No one can imagine that the impact of a Serie C football player's injury could be so great.
The entire Europe major entertainment media exploded instantly because of Lu Yang.
San Remo defeated Roma, let's not talk about it for now, that is a matter in the football world after all.
But when Sophia's total European box office for <The Invisible Guest> reached a record high of 250 million euros, apart from a celebration banquet, didn't participate in any other activities, which is simply outrageous!
You know, the European box office of 250 million euros can rank among the top three in history among Europe local movies!
Especially today, when the local box office of Europe is becoming increasingly sluggish, Sophia is like the "Light of Europe" and has become the whistleblower for the revival of the Europe film industry.
This year, in Europe, no movie has performed more strongly than Sophia's <The Invisible Guest>. Even if you include last year, there is no movie!
This is calculated together with the Hollywood blockbuster.
Therefore, everyone feels that after achieving the double peak of box office and word-of-mouth, Sophia should have a lot of work contacts in recent times.
Get in touch with investors, producers, etc. who are coming one after another, and then accept interviews, appear on variety shows, continue to make new movies or TV series, etc.
In short, no one can imagine that Sophia would stay at home and cook soup for a sick patient at this time!
Make soup!
How dare you believe it!
Therefore, many media think that Sophia is a little too careless about his own career?
In particular, Sophia once experienced a European ban, and now it is finally time to seize the opportunity. Will she waste her opportunity and luck too much?
If you don't seize every opportunity during your peak period, you'll be disgraced when some unexpected scandal comes.
The profession of celebrity is one of the most precarious professions.
Maybe you were an ordinary host one day and a criminal the next.
But the people who made these comments didn't know that Sophia had his own plans for his career.
In other words, someone is taking care of her career.
"If you don't go to these events, you won't be able to attend them! There are too many dark histories in these interviews. I guess they will use some despicable means in the show to get some shocking news. You should ignore them. Otherwise, even if it is a rejection letter, they will write it off in a big way." Lu Yang was lying on the sofa, "Don't go to these two pheasant film festivals for the time being... Hey, there is another Hengtai Mediterranean International Film Festival sponsored by China? Don't go either, it's worse than a pheasant!"
Lu Yang is "guiding" Sophia on how to deal with the period after becoming famous.
After many people become famous, there are indeed many invitations, but a person only has so much time.
After a person becomes popular, his prime time is actually only three to five months, or one or two years longer.
If you don't make good use of this time and take on any junk projects, it will affect your own development.
If you can't make further progress or achieve greater glory before the dividends dissipate, then you will be like a meteor passing through many people's worlds without leaving any waves.
This world is sometimes so cruel to public figures.
This is like a player who has lost his roots without playing games.
Therefore, Sophia needs to complete three things first in the past two months.
The first is to select two or three high-level endorsements from the dazzling array of endorsements.
It doesn't mean that the price is high. Sophia is not short of money in the short term, and no endorsement can be more profitable than her making a movie. So this high standard refers to brand value and brand influence.
Those top luxury brands are waiting for Sophia's favor one by one.
Second, select two or three programs that are of high standards, friendly to the guests, and the recording is not very complicated and time-consuming. You still have to maintain the most basic exposure on all major platforms.
There is no splash at all, and it is easy to attract people's imagination.
But be careful, it must be a program with a clean history.
Take China as an example.
Mango's program editors are known to like to cause trouble. If you can't accept this, don't go on Mango's program.
Dreamland's programs are known to have high safety risks. If you want to live longer, it is better to participate less in their programs. Not to mention the few times there have been accidents, even in programs such as Running Man where no accidents have occurred, there have been several accident risks.
The early running male guests did not suffer fractures once or twice. If those guests were not clever or durable, they would probably have died long ago!
The third point is to select the top film and television resources, conduct inspections and prepare to cooperate with them.
The third and most important thing is, don't rush.
Everyone else is worried that Sophia will have no chance if he doesn't take advantage of this box office miracle to go to events, but as everyone knows, Sophia is already waiting for Cannes Film Festival in June.
She believes that <The Invisible Guest> will not fail in Cannes.
And as long as she gains something, her bonus period will be extended.
So she has plenty of time to pick and choose.
The low profile during this period has kept Sophia mysterious and unpredictable. On the contrary, it can attract high-quality crews to come to the door and turn passivity into initiative.
It can be said that Lu Yang's suggestions to Sophia were very pertinent, but Lu Yang never thought that there would be people who were interested in him among Sophia's resources.
"Lu! This is an invitation letter from Armani to you!" Sophia handed Lu Yang a paper invitation letter.
"What do you mean?" Lu Yang asked.
"They want you to endorse their underwear with me. I am the spokesperson for the women's brand, and you are the spokesperson for the men's brand." Sophia was very excited when talking about this.
Because this seems to be the first formal endorsement Lu Yang has received, right?
The bread, ham sausages, and road traffic reminders from the San Remo bakery were not included in the past.
Those are all favors or public welfare, which are essentially different from the endorsement provided by Armani.
"No!" Lu Yang was emotionally stable.
"Why?" Sophia asked.
"Because I'm not their target at all, you are." Lu Yang said, "I'm just the buy-one-get-one-free person in this endorsement. I'm not a shameless person like Moric. I don't accept such accessory-like treatment."
"Besides... I don't want you to shoot underwear commercials either..."
The second half of the sentence made Sophia's smile pop out of the page.
She is even going crazy in her heart, but on the outside, she still has to stay calm, because in the East, this is called reserve and dignity!
Why is Sophia so excited?
Because she knows very well that in conservative Eastern ideas, underwear is a very ambiguous and private thing.
Not to mention underwear, even when a noble concubine was being consulted in ancient times, most of the imperial doctors could only "diagnose the pulse by hanging a silk thread", passing a red thread through the curtain, so that the person could not be seen, but only his voice could be heard.
It is even a capital offense for others to take a second look at the beauty of an emperor.
Lu Yang is a very traditional Chinese-American at heart. When he truly accepts a person, he does not allow the other person to be arrogant, but allows the other person to have more restraints.
This is also a very big difference in the concept of "care and attention" between the East and the West. When the West loves you, it gives you freedom, while when the East loves you, it gives you more constraints.
There is no way to say who is better than the other. Under different environments and backgrounds, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The best thing is to have both and use them flexibly.
So, if you convert what Lu Yang just said, it's probably equivalent to... Sophia If Sophia were filming an underwear commercial, Lu Yang would be a little jealous!
"I knew it!" Sophia's smile remained unchanged, and the invitation letter in his hand remained unchanged, "So, I helped you turn down that underwear endorsement in advance, and Armani sent this back. They hope to get to know each other, slowly discover each other, and build trust."
Lu Yang then felt relieved and accepted the invitation.
Armani hopes Lu Yang can become their brand ambassador.
Brand friend, brand ambassador, product spokesperson, series spokesperson, brand spokesperson!
According to the level of endorsement, brand ambassadors are far inferior to the male underwear spokespersons just mentioned.
But Lu Yang felt Armani's respect for him.
In particular, Armani mentioned in the invitation letter that the new series they have conceived in recent years adheres to the concept of "suited thugs", which greatly conflicts with their previous gentleman style, and they need a new spokesperson to fill this vacancy.
Therefore, if the cooperation during the brand ambassadorship process is pleasant, Lu Yang is likely to skip many complicated procedures and directly become one of the indispensable and important spokespersons in the Armani camp.
Of course, there will not be only one brand ambassador, Lu Yang.
Especially the male stars in the entertainment industry will definitely not miss this good opportunity to rise to the top. Lu Yang will have many competitors by then.
Normally, cooperation with top luxury brands requires many steps, step by step.
Nothing happens overnight.
Even the top superstars in the sports world, if they do not have a long-term cooperation history, can only endorse a slightly more niche product such as underwear, and cannot become the core spokesperson of the other party's brand.
But the birth of a new series means the creation of many vacancies, which gives many people the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.
And "suited thugs", to put it another way, quite fits Lu Yang's stadium image.
Lu Yang has always been known as "tough" on the court.
But he didn't look evil at all.
He has the foundation to become a quality spokesperson.
Lu Yang has no reason not to accept this challenge that is full of honesty and respect. He likes this kind of cooperative attitude, not the kind of endorsement cooperation full of intrigues!
Sophia is very happy that Lu Yang can accept this endorsement from Armani.
Because Armani's endorsement has more meanings than a normal sports star. It can expand Lu Yang's influence in other fields such as the entertainment industry, fashion circle, and model industry.
You may not be able to see any difference now, but once Lu Yang becomes a superstar-level star, his world influence and income level will be significantly higher than other players of the same level.
At that time, it was not just a matter of money.
There is a huge difference between stars who are out of the circle and those who are not.
For details, please refer to Beckham and other retired stars of the same level.
The former has retired for many years, but he is still one of the top 200 figures in the world with popularity and attention, and his annual income from endorsement fees has steadily exceeded tens of millions of dollars.
As for the latter, although they are unlikely to be short of money, it would be great if their endorsement fees can exceed one million.
In fact, many of them have long since disappeared from people's minds.
Not to mention extreme examples like Adriano who live in slums, even retired superstars like Gerrard, Lampard, and Giggs who are doing reasonably well have almost no influence outside of football and their own country.
Sophia has high expectations for Lu Yang.
Because this is her Sophia man!
In sharp contrast to the contract Armani accepted, the two endorsement contracts for sports brands Nikedidas and Ake sent by Arthas were ruthlessly abandoned by Lu Yang.
First, the contract they gave Lu Yang is considered a new star contract in football. The endorsement fee is less than 500,000 euros, and the contract period is five years.
Although this is not a "child labor contract", it is close.
The price is not low, but the lifespan is obviously too long!
Perhaps these two companies think that this price will be very attractive to Lu Yang, because apart from the fact that the stars can get endorsement fees of more than one million yuan, which Serie C players have endorsement fees?
But they have no idea how confident Lu Yang is about his future.
Let alone five years, after signing this contract, Lu Yang thought that he would regret it in less than two years!
No, you will regret it in less than a year!
Moreover, Ake and Nikedidas don't know that Lu Yang is not the only one who has such confidence in Lu Yang!
Arthas has already missed some deals with Lu Yang. In the new contract prepared for him by San Remo, the salary column is far beyond what Serie C and Serie B players can imagine. It is full of sincerity.
Even Arthas, a big agent, was quite surprised by that salary. Arthas called it a "subversive salary" and "compared to Serie A's level"!
As a result, Lu Yang is even more disdainful of the contracts between these two top sports brands.
Secondly, the contracts provided by Nikedidas and Ake to Lu Yang were standard contracts with relatively tough terms and included some special rights and interests of Party A.
For example, if Lu Yang causes some social controversy, is involved in discrimination, or takes a political stance, they have the right to unconditionally terminate the contract and even ask Lu Yang to claim partial compensation.
But Lu Yang does not have the corresponding power.
How could Lu Yang sign such an unequal contract!
So, Lu Yang only asked Arthas to ask the other party, "Do you use Oriental cotton?"
Representatives of Ake and Nikedidas stated that their products would never use Oriental cotton, and even if they did, they would tell others so.
And Lu Yang replied, "I'm sorry then, I'm sorry, I reject this contract!"
The staff responsible for contacting Arthas from both brands expressed their confusion.
What does it mean?
Why don't we stop talking about it?
You are bargaining, the price is negotiable!
What's more, they also heard that the endorsement fee for Lu Yang and Armani is less than 500,000 euros! How come Armani can do it, but their Nikedidas and Ake can't?
Representative Ake: "Is it a cotton problem?"
Lu Yang: "Yes and no."
Representative Nikedidas: "Is it a matter of years and endorsement fees?"
Lu Yang: "No."
Both parties questioned Lu Yang many times, and finally Lu Yang gave a reply, "It's a matter of attitude! You must respect me first, and then I will respect you! Only when we respect each other can we talk about so-called cooperation!"
These words were a bit baffling. Ake and Nikedidas didn't quite understand them, but they didn't continue to ask questions after they got the answer.
They have other rising stars to deal with.
It doesn't matter if you don't get Lu Yang. In football, there are too many stars like Lu Yang with an endorsement fee of less than 500,000 euros. Lu Yang is not the most special one.
Especially after they knew that the other party had not captured Lu Yang, it was even more natural for them to leave.
But they will never know how much damage their departure will bring to the future of Ake and Nikedidas!
Of course, let alone the future.
Some of the effects are immediate now.
But it is for the impact of Lu Yang.
Rejecting contracts from the two giants brought a lot of discussion and negative comments to Lu Yang.
The dominance of football by the two giants is not only reflected in the amount of money spent.
They have a huge voice in this field!
There is a price to pay for rejecting them!
There really isn't even a drop left!
I hope the cold will get better soon
