This year's schedule is very different from previous years. In the past, we played double competitions in the first half of the year, and individual competitions and team competitions in the second half of the year. In the first half of this year, we played the regular season of the team competition and the preliminary round of the individual competition. Since the three events are going on at the same time, this year's competition starts half a month earlier than in previous years, and will officially open on August 1.
There is only one week left until the start of the game.
That night, Xie Mingzhe was making an appointment with the great gods in the training group when he suddenly received a message from Chi Yingying.
"Azhe, an advertiser contacted me and wanted to ask you to endorse their products. The endorsement fee is very high. I have already negotiated the price here. Do you want to continue?" She put the detailed information of the advertiser. After sending it over, he followed, "They said that they would invite 16 players who participated in the All-Stars to jointly endorse this year's new products."
This is a very famous manufacturer of electronic products. The smart helmets used by Nirvana players are produced by his family, and it is also the best-selling helmet of all. In previous years, they would choose one of the most popular clubs to cooperate with. I didn't expect to change the way this year, and they actually invited 16 players who participated in the All-Stars to speak together, which is really rich.
"Is there any news from other clubs?" Xie Mingzhe asked curiously.
"All agreed. After all, the endorsement fee is very high, and they will title sponsor the competition in the second half of the year, and the commercials they will shoot will be broadcast repeatedly in the second half of the competition." Chi Yingying is very moved, if A Zhe and Chen Xiao received this advertisement, not only can he win a large amount of endorsement fees, but also frequently brush his face in the game in the second half of the year.
The popularity of professional players is directly proportional to their commercial value. Previously, the number of fans of Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao has been increasing, but the two of them stayed at the club during the offseason and never showed their faces. Recently, their popularity has obviously stagnated. The advertisements have been played in the competition. With their looks, they will definitely further consolidate their popularity and attract more fans.
Of course, the most important thing for players is their performance, but Chi Yingying feels that performance and popularity are not contradictory. It is also what her player agent should do to increase their popularity for them. There are a lot of advertisers who come to the door during the off-season, but the advertisements are rather lacking rather than excessive, and the filming is not good, but the quality is down, so she went through layers of screening and settled on this one.
"I have no problem here, you can ask Brother Chen." Xie Mingzhe said cheerfully, "I guess he will not object."
Since the other party has invited a large number of star players, it can be regarded as a recognition of their popularity and strength. If they cannot appear in the advertisement, fans may be disappointed.
Anyway, it was a waste of a day or two to shoot an advertisement. Xie Mingzhe didn't mind, and Chen Xiao simply agreed.
The time to shoot the advertisement is about the next day. The advertiser has tailored the shooting method for each contestant. There are too many contestants, so they can only be shot in batches. players.
Xie Mingzhe walked into the lounge and happened to see Shan Lan drinking water, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Lan Lan, are you here to shoot the commercial too?"
Shan Lan nodded and asked curiously, "Look, you've been making cards recently, a lot, right?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said: "Not much, just a hundred or so."
Shan Lan was stunned for a while: "A hundred or so? Is it true or false?"
Facing Xie Mingzhe's smile, and realizing that he was tricked by him, Shan Lan's ears turned red and said, "Full of nonsense."
Xie Mingzhe thought it was very funny when Shan Lan was blushing, so he leaned into his ear and asked, "What about your ruling? Have you made a new card?"
Shan Lan immediately fought back: "I made more than a thousand copies."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
Didn't you say that Shan Lan had the best temper? Why do you come back every time you meet yourself
Just as Nie Yuandao walked in and saw his apprentice and Xie Mingzhe were talking, he walked straight to Shanlan's side, stretched out his hand and gently pulled Shanlan behind him in a protective manner, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Mingzhe: "You also?"
I'm not the beast that will eat your apprentice, so why are you guarding me
Xie Mingzhe was very dissatisfied with Nie Shen's actions, but the next moment, he heard a low and gentle voice behind him: "What a coincidence."
Did your brother come too? Xie Mingzhe was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and walked in front of Tang Muzhou, with a particularly bright smile: "Senior brother, are you shooting commercials today? I heard that many people have finished filming, and I thought it was just me and Brother Chen."
"I've been busy a few days ago, and I didn't shoot until the end." Tang Muzhou looked at his younger brother with tender eyes, put his arms around his shoulders, and led him to sit down at the resting place next to him, "I didn't expect you to be too. Final shot."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Originally I thought shooting commercials was a very boring thing, but it was a pleasant surprise to meet the other party.
After a while, Chen Xiao, who was going to the bathroom, also came over, followed by Shen An.
A tall and slender girl walked in and said, "Hello everyone, there are only six of you in the studio today. I'll show you the script first, in groups of two."
A group of two is divided according to the club, right
Xie Mingzhe thought so, took the script and read it, but found that he and Tang Muzhou had the same script, Xie Mingzhe couldn't help but wonder: "Am I filming with my senior brother?"
The planning girl simply nodded: "It is grouped according to the production of all-star character cards, Chen Xiao and Shen An, Nie Shen and Xiaolan, and your brothers and sisters. The character cards you designed for each other are also It will appear in the advertisement, and the advertisement will be cut into a short film of about 15 seconds at the end, which will be played randomly during the playoffs. In addition, some flat photos will be taken for posters.”
Xie Mingzhe suddenly realized that this method is quite novel. It is grouped according to the matching of all-star cards. 16 players have just shot 8 advertisements of different styles. The playoffs will be played continuously on a loop, which can definitely earn a lot of money. Wave popularity.
Xie Mingzhe was very happy to be in the same frame with his senior brother, looking at Tang Muzhou, just in time to meet his gentle gaze.
The two followed the planning girl to change the clothes of the same style provided by the manufacturer, do the styling, and then went to the studio to take plane photos. Each person took several sets of singles, followed by doubles.
The product that the advertiser asked them to endorse is the latest smart light brain. The two brothers and sisters pose according to the photographer's request, each holding a thin light brain in their hands. The theme they want to reflect is not a couple. It's a good buddy, so the distance doesn't need to be too close, but Xie Mingzhe's heart is beating like a drum, because he can smell the familiar smell on his brother's body, this kind of distance is really terrible.
While pressing the shutter frantically, the photographer praised: "Very good! You two are so handsome, Tang Shen's head is a little lower, um, Azhe, let go of your smile!"
The two people in the lens really have no choice, and there is a strange sense of harmony when they stand together.
The photographer said: "You can get closer, get closer, and don't be too far away!"
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, approached Xie Mingzhe, put his hands on his shoulders and wrapped his arms around him. This movement was very measured, like very good friends standing together, but Xie Mingzhe's heart was beating hard, if it wasn't for the hindrance With so many people present, he really wanted to turn around and give his senior brother a big hug.
Both of them were laughing, Xie Mingzhe smiled brightly, Tang Muzhou's smile was particularly gentle.
Because at this time, in Tang Muzhou's mind—
Rounding up is a wedding photo.
He was thinking that the level of this photographer is not bad. The angles of the few single-person photos taken just now were well chosen, and both him and A Zhe were very handsome. It is said that the company paid a lot of money to invite them, and they are very professional.
Why don't you want to get in touch later? When I take a wedding photo with A Zhe in the future, I will invite him to take it.
The photographer had no idea that he had become Tang Shen's "wedding photo photographer candidate", and he continued to admire the two's looks: "The handsome guys are eye-catching when they stand together, and they look good no matter how you take them! Smile, Yes, that's it! So handsome!"
Tang Muzhou and Xie Mingzhe made various actions very cooperatively, and the photographer took the picture very smoothly, but as he was taking pictures, why did he suddenly feel that... it was more and more like a couple's photo? !
What's the matter with the same style of clothes, the same style of light brain, standing together with the same face? !
***
Xie Mingzhe thought it would be very boring to shoot commercials for a whole day, but because Tang Muzhou was with him, time passed quickly instead.
It was over in the blink of an eye. He looked at the photos from the photographer's camera and was very satisfied. He asked the photographer to send him a collection after finishing the photos. Tang Muzhou also said, "It looks good, fans should like it."
Xie Mingzhe nodded, thinking to himself, it's a good match, and it looks like my boyfriend.
The two went to the dressing room to change their clothes and said goodbye to the photographer. Tang Muzhou said that he had something to do shopping, and Xie Mingzhe also found an excuse to rub his brother's car. Shen An was confused: "Master, what should I do?"
Chen Xiao reluctantly walked over and carried him by the back collar, and dragged him away like a chicken: "I'll take you back."
Shen An was curious: "Where are my master and little uncle going?"
Chen Xiao patted his head: "Children, don't ask so much."
Shen An had to follow Chen Xiao suspiciously.
In the car, Xie Mingzhe sat in the passenger seat, and finally couldn't help but feel anxious. He took the initiative to lean in and kiss Tang Muzhou. He smiled and said, "You are so handsome today..." Before he finished speaking, Tang Muzhou grabbed the back of his head and put his tongue out. During the import, the kiss deepened.
Xie Mingzhe was soon breathless from the kiss, so he could only lean on the seat and open his mouth wide, letting him do whatever he wanted.
The temperature inside the car kept rising, and the ambiguous sound of kissing sounded in the airtight space. Xie Mingzhe blushed and pushed Tang Muzhou hard, and the senior brother let go of him and whispered against his lips, "You are also very good. handsome."
Xie Mingzhe's brain exploded with a "boom", because he found that his brother was very sexy when he spoke in a low voice and pressed his lips together.
The voice of a mature man is very different from the crisp voice of a young man.
Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath to adjust his heartbeat, and in order not to provoke the other party out of control, he simply changed the subject: "Shan Lan said just now that the ruling made nearly a thousand new cards, obviously he was deliberately attacking me, but half of what he said was true. Yes, for the playoffs, the ruling must have made new cards, right? Did other clubs also make a lot of new cards to play in the playoffs in previous years?"
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, rubbed Xie Mingzhe's hair, and whispered, "Don't change the subject so obviously."
Xie Mingzhe: "..."
Tang Muzhou said, "It's hard to see you. Today, I won't talk about cards or games, but about us."
Xie Mingzhe looked away: "What do you want to talk about?"
Tang Muzhou leaned into his ear and said softly: "This year's offseason, you have to make a lot of new cards to prepare for the playoffs. It is more convenient to live in the Nirvana base, and I have no problem. During the second half of the game, you will definitely Continue to stay in the dormitory and move with your teammates, but what about after the game?"
Xie Mingzhe's heart beat faster, he had already guessed what his brother was going to say.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Tang Muzhou say: "After the game in the second half of the year, there will be a long vacation period. Can you move in and live with me? I will take good care of you and cook delicious food for you personally. How about it?"
During the trip, I only stayed with you for a week, plus it was in a hotel, so many things were inconvenient. But if you move to live with your senior brother, that's a real "cohabitation". Both of them are adults, and what will happen when they live together, they know with their toes.
Therefore, Tang Muzhou's invitation actually implies a further and closer relationship.
Do you want to accept it
Xie Mingzhe nodded and agreed without thinking, because he also wanted to go further: "No problem! However, I'm not a big foodie, you don't need to tempt me with 'hand-made food', hehe... With you here, just enough."
Tang Muzhou's heart softened, and the last sentence was really pleasing to his ears.
With you, it's enough - Xie Mingzhe's way of expressing his feelings is so straightforward and simple.
Tang Muzhou stretched out his arms, gave Xie Mingzhe a gentle hug, and said in his ear, "I'll wait for you to move in."
He bought that house as a wedding room. It was very big and empty. If A Zhe moved in, it would definitely become very warm, right? With this guy around, I really don't have to worry about getting bored during the vacation.
