Sponsorship is an act in which a company provides financial support to certain activities in order to achieve its own goals. "Do you know the domain name?"

To give a very simple example, Evan Bell was sponsored by Converse when he filmed "Enemies of the Machine", Evan Bell wore Converse shoes in the film, and Alex Proyas needed to give the shoes a few A close-up, for which Converse sponsored a large amount of money for the crew of "The Mechanical Enemy".

Furthermore, Evan Bell is now staying at the Four Seasons when he travels, which is actually a kind of sponsorship. The costumes and jewelry of the actors on the Oscar red carpet are also all sponsored. The reason is very simple. The more famous the artist is and the better the publicity effect, the more like the sponsor.

If sponsorship is put on sports athletes, then things are even simpler: there is sponsorship if there is performance, small sponsors with poor performance, and no sponsorship if there is no performance. It is not uncommon for real big-name athletes to get tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship a year.

For tennis players, the sponsorship they get is not just the jerseys, shoes and rackets. The cost of their daily training, the sponsorship of the entire coaching team, the travel cost of the world competition... can be part of the sponsorship. Therefore, tennis is indeed a noble sport, because there is not enough cost, professional tennis is not affordable for ordinary people. Of course, tennis has gradually become popular now, and many professional tennis schools have emerged. These schools train their own players, and then let the players participate in the competition in the form of scholarships, which is also a kind of sponsorship.

Rafael Nadal, who just turned 18 this year and has been in professional tennis for less than three years, has performed very well. He entered the third round of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for the first time last year. Youngest male tennis player in Wimbledon history since Boris Becker in 1984. Rafael Nadal, known as a genius boy, has won the favor of many sponsors.

Therefore, when Evan Bell met Nadal's uncle and nephew on Makalo Island early last year, he was only joking when he mentioned Eleven's agent, because he knew that 2003 was the year of Rafael Nadal's rapid rise. There must be many brokerage companies and many sponsors flocking here. Eleven Brokerage can only be regarded as a small brokerage company, and it has not been involved in the sports field. It is indeed not much help to Rafael Nadal.

However, the injury made the development of things a little unexpected. Last year's elbow injury made sponsors quite worried, and today Rafael Nadal missed the entire clay court season due to a fractured left ankle, although Rafi Nadal's sponsor, Nike, has not said anything, but talks about a contract extension next month have made Tony Nadal quite uneasy. Because Rafael Nadal still doesn't have an agent, it's all Tony Nadal.

Tony Nadal knows very well how important a good agent is to an athlete, because if an agent is too greedy for money, or doesn't know the distinction between primary and secondary on and off the court, it is very likely to destroy an agent. athlete. Tony Nadal doesn't want to be hasty.

In fact, even if he didn't meet Evan Bell today, Tony Nadal was thinking about finding a good agent, making some plans for his nephew's sports career, and then in the upcoming negotiation with Nike. Phil Nadal fights for more rights. This requires professionals to operate.

When I just saw Evan Bell, Tony Nadal didn't think about it just now, so he didn't come forward. But after sitting for a while, Tony Nadal remembered that Eleven Brokerage was a very famous brokerage company. Tony Nadal doesn't know much about Eleven's agents, but he also knows that this studio sparrow is small and complete, and the most important thing is that they always respect the artist's own choice and use "freedom" as the slogan. Although Eleven Brokers is an entertainment brokerage company and has little involvement in sports, Tony Nadal feels that at least they are professional enough, and there is the existence of Evan Bell, a "loyal ball mí". Eleven Brokers is indeed a good choice.

After listening to Tony Nadal's instructions clearly, Evan Bell did not answer immediately and seemed to be thinking. Rafael Nadal's honesty and integrity comes from the teaching of Tony Nadal, and Tony Nadal is also such a person, he made the situation clear without any concealment, and because he wanted Evan Bell to understand, He explained it very slowly and thoroughly in Spanish.

"You mean, I hope I can help Rafael fight for a better contract, right?" Evan Bell summed it up in one sentence. Because of Rafael Nadal's current injury, on the one hand, he has no bargaining chip for better interests, but on the other hand, he needs a lot of expenses to support his training and recuperation. This is a paradoxical situation.

Tony Nadal nodded, seeing Evan Bell's so cautious expression, he was also a little uncertain. Because in fact, they are not very familiar with Evan Bell. What they know about him is partly from the media and partly from the reports of the Ramos brothers. Tony Nadal does not know that he has so rashly approached Evan today. -Bell, is it the right choice.

Rafael Nadal stood by, obediently not saying a word, but biting his chin nervously.

Since Tony Nadal is honest, Evan Bell also intends to tell the truth. Besides, he is indeed Rafael Nadal's ball mí, and he also sincerely hopes that this tennis star can develop better. "Tony, Eleven's agent does not have any experience in the sports field. If necessary, we can consult a professional sports agent. Combined with our own professional knowledge of sponsors, we can indeed try our best to strive for a better negotiation with Nike. but I can't make any guarantees because of my lack of experience. So, now there are two options."

Evan Bell said this very hard, because there are professional vocabulary and a lot of complex content, his limited Spanish words are really not enough. But fortunately, Tony Nadal is a very patient person. Seeing Evan Bell explain to himself in Spanish so attentively, his goodwill towards Evan Bell has increased a lot.

"First, I can consult a well-known brokerage company in the industry and introduce a reliable and trustworthy company or broker to Rafael." In fact, among the top five brokerage companies in the United States, William Morris Brokerage Company, International Innovation Management Companies, joint management companies, etc. are all involved in the field of sports. After all, the interests of basketball, rugby, and ice hockey players in the United States are definitely not inferior to entertainers. Therefore, it is not unusual for a brokerage company to have a sports department. Although David Greenblatt He has already left, but now the eleventh agent and Teddy Bell have met many people in the circle. It is not difficult to get on line. Even if the eleventh agent now sets up the sports department mén by himself, it is easy, just to develop the scale, It's not that simple.

"Second, if you feel that there is no way to make a decision in a short period of time, Eleven Brokers can send an agent to help you negotiate a contract with Nike. After the contract is negotiated, you can choose a brokerage company slowly." Evan Bell I think it's a good idea, at least better than signing Rafael Nadal to Eleven's agent, only to be unable to help. Just like Ryan Gosling at the time, Evan Bell would not want to bring all his friends to Eleven Studio, but as a result, the lack of ability of Eleven Studio hinders the future development of his friends.

Tony Nadal was stunned for a while. This situation is much better than he imagined. It can attack and retreat and defend, which also gives them more room to maneuver. Looking at Evan Bell's sincere eyes, Tony Nadal was sure that the boy in front of him was indeed Rafael Nadal's real ball mí, not a businessman who saw money.

However, the upright Tony Nadal hesitated again. He felt like he was using Evan Bell. After the negotiation with the eleventh agent, Rafael Nadal finally found another agent. , this is completely to cross the river to demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Evan Bell saw the guilt on Tony Nadal's face and immediately knew what he was thinking. This kind of thing, which is normal in the brokerage industry, is not something that Tony Nadal would do. Evan Bell couldn't help but smiled, "Tony, for the eleven brokers, it's just... just a small piece of cake, it's not difficult." Evan Bell originally planned to say a piece of cake, but he Not sure if this sentence has a corresponding colloquial expression in Spanish, it just ended up saying "a small plate of cake", "If you can help Raphael, that would be great. Of course, we charge, even if It's just a negotiation, and we also have to charge for it. But for the sake of me being the ball, I'll give you a discount."

Evan Bell's words were considered a relief for Tony Nadal. The honest and honest man said with a smile, "Thank you, Evan, thank you."

Rafael Nadal stood next to him, also a little embarrassed, "Thank you I just said one sentence and I don't know what to say.

In this situation, Evan Bell is more comfortable with, "Rafael, don't thank me. In the future, if you reach the Grand Slam final, I hope you can reserve a place for me in the box, which is no longer for me. It's better. You know, box mén tickets are not that easy to get, especially Wimbledon." The UK's Wimbledon Tennis Championships is not only the oldest Grand Slam in the world, but also the most traditional . For example, Wimbledon players must wear white jerseys; for example, they must salute the royal family in the box before the game; for example, there are absolutely no night games and so on. So, the Wimbledon box is not so easy to get into.

It's a pity that Nadal's uncle and nephew still lacked a bit of humor in Evan Bell's joke. Only Evan Bell laughed a little, which was really embarrassing.

"Okay, I think I should continue filming the mv, you can call me if you have anything." Evan Bell gestured to Teddy Bell, Teddy Bell took out his business card, and then followed He also wrote Evan Bell's mobile number and handed it to Rafael Nadal.
