Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 100 The first connection with Jay Chou

At this moment, Chen Ran's QQ suddenly started shaking. Apparently someone was looking for him.

"You are me?"

It was Hu Jie who sent the message. This guy was probably fighting in the Internet cafe at the moment.

"Yes."

Chen Ran replied briefly.

"Come on, my buddy is competing abroad now. You are a thief!"

"..."

Hu Jie actually thought that Chen Ran's QQ account had been stolen.

"Your hobby is island romance movies."

"Tch, which man isn't?"

"I also know that you skip school every day and go to the Internet cafe."

The person on the other end was obviously silent for a while, and then texted back: "I know it, it seems that it's not a hacked account, it's definitely me."

"But can I access QQ from abroad?"

"The hotel has internet and computers, why can't I use it?"

"Let me tell you, I met a guy online who was very good at playing World of Warcraft. I competed with him several times, and I feel that my skills have also improved a lot."

Chen Ran could clearly feel the excitement from between the lines of the other party's words.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't take the initiative to talk to me on QQ.

"Significant progress? How much progress?"

"There is a feeling of enlightenment, as if my level has suddenly improved. Yes, just like what is said in martial arts novels, at a certain moment you break through the bottleneck that has been bothering you for a long time and open up the two channels of Ren and Du."

Chen Ran read this guy's description and was a little amused.

"Do you think you're ready to compete?"

"Not to mention, sometimes I feel this way. By the way, the gaming buddy I met online has participated in interstellar competitions before, but his results were not very good. Now he specializes in World of Warcraft."

"Interstellar is too difficult, and the world is dominated by sticks. It is wise to change careers!"

Although Chen Ran has not touched the game since his rebirth, the memories of his previous life are still there.

"My netizen is actually very similar to me. He doesn't like reading and has had several quarrels with his family over playing games."

"Oh, you are all downgraded people from the end of the world."

"The netizen asked me to play games, but I got out of the way first. By the way, you come back with a championship in New Zealand!"

Soon, Hu Jie’s QQ dimmed.

It seems that this guy also paid attention to the news about his game.

But do you think the tour championship is so easy to win?

Chen Ran glanced at the friend list again. Zhou Jing's online name was "Lavender", but it was always dim.

"Study life in a key high school must be very stressful. When I see her again next time, my eyes will be a lot brighter..."

He turned off the computer, logged into QQ, and then dived into the "simulation training ground".

Chen Ran's biggest advantage is that the night before the game, he can have a crazy battle with several top players in the "simulation training ground" to keep himself in competition condition.

Let these guys continue to destroy him on the court, and let Chen Ran slowly grow up in one tragic defeat after another.

Whether it is Federer, Nadal, or the new giant Alcaraz in the future, it is not easy for ordinary players, even first-class players, to get the opportunity to compete with them on the court, but Chen Ran has unlimited opportunities.

"Tomorrow is the semi-finals match!"

"One more win and it will be the final."

Chen Ran's opponent in the next round is Youzhini, who has had training experience with him.

He carefully watched the opponent's game video in the quarterfinals.This guy's competitive form is very good. If he met Safin, he would have a high chance of winning the game.

……

In the China headquarters building of IMG in Yanjing, Xue Peng, who is in charge of Chen Ran's agency affairs, was not only happy but also felt a strong sense of crisis.

Chen Ran's growth rate is really too fast.

The first time he participated in the tour, he reached the semi-finals and defeated Safin, the top five player in the world and the former US Open champion.

Chen Ran's name has risen rapidly in China like a comet.

IMG also has strict assessment requirements for its staff responsible for brokerage affairs.

If they do not bring enough benefits to the employer, the selection of agents may be adjusted.

Tennis is an international sport. If Chen Ran can continue to perform well, but as his agent cannot bring him enough benefits, the company may take action.

It is not impossible to even let the head office in the United States directly take over Chen Ran's brokerage affairs.

However, you have to be careful with low-end product endorsements. If something goes wrong, it will also affect Chen Ran's image. As for high-end endorsements, Chen Ran's current performance is not convincing enough. People will at most pay for his potential.

Xue Peng looked at some quotations from Sanwu Company in front of him, frowned, and put them aside.

He knew that his employer, Chen Ran, was an extremely cautious and cautious person.

In the past, Chen Ran declined all the ribbon-cutting activities for company openings.

"Metersbonwe... the name is quite foreign." Xue Peng picked up this endorsement invitation that looked decent.

At the turn of the century, many local Chinese companies would choose foreign names to demonstrate their internationalization.

Because Metersbonwe is a local Chinese casual clothing brand, it does not have a competing product relationship with the sports brand Nike.

"It was established in 1995, only 8 years ago. The company is headquartered in Lucheng City, Eastern Zhejiang Province."

However, what surprised Xue Peng was that Metersbonwe hired a spokesperson in each field of culture and sports.

In the entertainment industry, they invited Jay Chou, the little Chinese king who has become very popular recently.

In the sports circle, Metersbonwe originally wanted to hire Yao Ming.

But the other party's management team offered too high a price, and they happened to encounter Chen Ran defeating Safin, which was frequently exposed in major TV media, and because the other party was also from eastern Zhejiang, it came into their sight.

"One in each field of culture and sports. The boss of this company is quite ambitious."

"This is to achieve one-size-fits-all among young people, especially students!"

Although the official media often say that young people, especially children in schools, should follow the role models of scientists, even these official media do not know many scientists themselves.

However, the nature of young people will always make them pay more attention to entertainment stars and athletes, and these brands will also make choices that best suit their own interests when choosing spokespersons.

"Jay Chou, the one who sang "Nunchaku"?" Xue Peng frowned and pondered.

As a man who is over 30 years old and has a successful career, when he was young, he basically listened to the songs of Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau.

Although Jay Chou had many hits at this time, in the heart of this man born in the 70s, the only one he could remember was "Nunchuck".

A brand new singing method, and... Xue Peng couldn't understand what the lyrics were at all.Is this something wrong with my own ears, or is the other person singing too fast?

Metersbonwe’s endorsement fee for Chen Ran is still very considerable, 2 million in two years.

But not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

When Xue Peng was discussing with Metersbonwe's representative, he also learned that the other party's endorsement fee for Jay Chou was 2 million for two years.

This means that Chen Ran's endorsement fee is not even one-third of the other party's.

However, he also said frankly to the public that Jay Chou is both the King of Chinese and the King of Asia, and his commercial value is far from comparable to today's Chen Ran.

Xue Peng thought for a while, then put down the endorsement invitation and planned to put it aside for a few days.
