Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 638 "Tennis" movie script finalized! (4K)

The mall is like a battlefield!
Chen Ran also understood this principle.

Therefore, Nike has already seen the potential threat of Anta, and they are bound to use all means to strangle it.

Especially since Li Na switched from Nike to Anta.

Such a match made in heaven left them with lingering fears.

Back then, wasn’t Jordan rejected by Adidas and chose Nike?
Of course, Nike does not think that Li Na can have the epoch-making influence of Jordan, but as a capitalist, the huge Chinese market is not willing to give up their own market share easily.

But from Chen Ran's perspective, he has his own ideas.

He felt that he had done his job well and should not become a tool in Nike's hands.

The opponent should not interfere with your tennis-related decisions.

"Nike just hopes that you won't instruct Li Na on the tour. They will definitely not interfere in the Olympics." This was the condition Nike mentioned when the agent just called.

The reason is very simple, because the Olympics is a competition for national teams, and Nike is the sponsor of the national teams.

So they allow pointing in the Olympics, but not on tour.

You see, these big international companies are so calculative and won't give in at all.

If I don't use the tour to warm up and go directly to the Olympics, wouldn't that make it more difficult for myself?
Chen Ran naturally insisted on his own ideas.

Whether in business or competition, I have done nothing wrong.

Isn't it just on-the-spot advice? You're here to give me advice, you think I'm easy to bully, right?
Chen Ran did not take Nike's request seriously and arrived in Shenzhen in a relaxed manner.

……

This year's Shenzhen Masters specially introduced some foreign caddies in order to highlight the standards of this international competition.

These caddies are actually young tennis players.

ATP or WTA will recruit players from all over the world and let them feel the tennis atmosphere on site.

When Chen Ran attended the Tennis Day event, he discovered that there were two familiar faces among the caddies.

One is naturally the future number one in China, Zhang Zhizhen, and the other is actually a man from Russia, nicknamed Medvedev, also known as President Medvedev.

Because this name is the same as the second-in-command of Russia.

(It's such a pity for Mei. He lost to Sinner 2-3 at the Australian Open this year. I thought Sinner was very good, but the news revealed that he is a weakling. He deserves to be the crown prince, because the ATP chairman is Italian. This year's Australian Open championship should really be returned to Mei!)
Chen Ran glanced at the young Mr. Mei with great interest, and was almost amused.

This guy was later nicknamed "the crooked-mouthed war god" by Chinese tennis fans. I didn't expect that he already has a crooked mouth at the age of eleven.

He looks exactly like the Dragon King with a crooked mouth.

What makes Chen Ran feel even more interesting is that you are only eleven years old, but your hairline is so high.

It seems to be innate and has nothing to do with age.

Xiaomei always saw Chen Ran staring at her and became a little uneasy.

This is the first person in the world.

Chen Ran immediately looked away and said jokingly, "The Shenzhen Masters is incredible. There are foreign caddies now."

The organizers of the tournament said: "This little Russian player is incredible. He is the world's number one in the junior category."

"What about our country?"

“There are no outstanding young players at the moment.”

Chen Ran then glanced at Zhang Zhizhen and asked, "What about him? I know him! I met him in Shanghai last year."

"But he is not among the top ten in the world in the junior category."

Chen Ran nodded.

He also knew that Zhang Zhizhen was a late bloomer and was not outstanding in his youth.

Chen Ran shouted to Xiao Mei: "Young man, I also think you will have a great future. You are already 11 years old, and I am waiting for you to enter the professional arena."

He is already 11 years old. If he persists for another seven or eight years, he can indeed enter the professional arena. This is not far away.

It was President Mei who personally shattered Djokovic's dream of achieving all Grand Slams at the end of his peak.

He'd like to have a good meeting.

When Xiaomei heard this, she was also surprised.

The world's number one person actually has high hopes for him and is looking forward to fighting with him. This is an honor for He De.

And in his eyes, Chen Ran should be the number one person in history.

After all, these young players will not compare themselves with the female players in their hearts. This is just a deliberate attempt by the Western media to hype themselves up.

"There are only two Shenzhen Masters left, this year and next year. But they will be replaced by the WTA Finals," Chen Ran said slowly to the many reporters. "In this city full of immigrants from all over the world, I am very happy to see the tennis culture taking root here."

He is here to continue defending his own record.

As long as Chen Ran participates in the Chinese tour, he will never let the championship slip away.

“Are you going to Europe for the indoor season this year?”

"I'm already very tired!" Chen Ran said firmly, "So after this game, I will give myself a long vacation until the year-end finals in Shanghai in November."

He will continue to miss the Paris Masters.

But the French can do nothing about it. It seems that among the many Masters tournaments, the Paris Masters has the lowest presence, the other being the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Canada.

Chen Ran participates in the three master tournaments held in the United States, the "Sunshine Double" and the "Cincinnati Masters" every year.

It is indeed very double-standard, but it is not because Chen Ran likes the United States so much, but because the United States has given too much.

The US market is big enough.

In addition, regardless of whether Chen Ran is just there for fun, he must participate in at least seven of the nine Masters tournaments.

"Anyway, I have participated in seven Masters tournaments this year, so I will definitely get a share of the year-end dividends, and that's enough." Chen Ran said this, and the audience smiled knowingly.

It seems like if you don’t get your year-end bonus, you won’t be able to play in all seven Masters tournaments.

As expected of Chen Ran, he can say the word "dividends" with confidence. If it were any other Chinese athlete, they would probably be too embarrassed to speak.

……

For Chen Ran, after the Shenzhen Masters he can rest for more than a month.

The next-door Open and the subsequent European season were not within his consideration.

Therefore, Chen Ran didn't need to hold back and just go for it with all his strength.

Still playing at home, Chen Ran continued his excellent form in the US Open and China Open.

He defeated all the top players 2-0 all the way without losing a set, and easily won the final championship, bringing his number of Masters championships to 18.

The opponent in the final is Federer, who has not been seen for a long time.

This seemed to be the first time the two of them faced off this year, but the result was no different from previous years.

An Olympic gold medal, fourteen Grand Slam titles, two year-end finals titles, and eighteen Masters titles.

This is Chen Ran’s current honor.

Leading by a huge margin!

Similarly, in the WTA Super Five Tour, this time, Chen Ran did not personally direct the game, but let the golden flower players play on their own.

After all, it's just the Super Five Tour, and he is only responsible for the Crown Tournament.

At the same time, Chen Ran also understood one thing. Although Li Na's current strength has reached the first-class level of WTA, her stability is really far behind his own.

To be precise, except for a few like Serena Williams and Henin, most of the top players in the WTA are far from being as stable as male players.

Therefore, after experiencing the glory of the China Open, Li Na will inevitably have a period of lows, which requires her to adapt and adjust.

In the end, Serena Williams won the championship of this Premier Five Tour.

Then the petty and mean-spirited American media said sourly: "The competition for the top player in active tennis is still going on. The competition between Serena Williams and Chen Ran is still going on. Let's wait and see."

"It's a pity that they don't click..."

Uh...as long as you are happy.

Chen Ran was too lazy to bother with these stupid media.

How can people argue with a group of dogs?

Just treat these American journalists as a joke.

Why do these American reporters act polite, fair and objective when dealing with Yao Ming, but always find fault with Chen Ran?

That's because the former poses no threat and can even help you develop the market, while the latter poses such a huge threat that it can even counterattack the US domestic market.

Especially Chen Ran's open-minded and free-spirited personality. Although he is already the undisputed number one in history, he can still cooperate with the American media in a very humorous way to hype "who is the number one active player between him and Serena Williams", and even took the initiative to bring up two great players, Graf and Court.

This mentality and demeanor immediately conquered countless American fans.

They would even take the initiative to scold their own country's journalists as a bunch of idiots on Chen Ran's behalf.

Today, Chen Ran is definitely the foreign athlete with the largest number of American fans.

This is the charm of being the world's number one.

Similarly, Chen Ran participates in the "Sunshine Double" and "Cincinnati Masters" every year to repay the American fans who support him.

This is his emotional intelligence and means.

……

"It seems that with your current popularity, if your tennis movie is released in the United States, it may achieve unexpected box office results."

The agent who is in charge of Chen Ran's overseas affairs said with some excitement.

You should know that under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Chinese films to get a good screening schedule in the United States, and even many large theaters will not arrange screening plans.

At present, if China’s Kung Fu superstars want to get good box office results, they must join Hollywood film shooting.

But Chen Ran seems to be able to overtake others by taking the track of "tennis".

"Maybe. The script is almost finalized, right?" Chen Ran nodded and asked.

With his current popularity in the United States, when the movie is released in the U.S., there will most likely be capital there that will take the initiative to help Chen Ran promote the movie. After all, his popularity in the United States is not to be underestimated.

Chen Ran doesn’t like the United States, but who doesn’t love the US dollar?
Especially now that China and the United States are still in the honeymoon period, we must be ruthless in making money.

"The script has basically been finalized!" The agent nodded, then a look of madness appeared in his eyes, and he continued, "But this script is indeed a little crazy."

“It’s better to be a little crazy!”

Chen Ran laughed, "I have achieved the Grand Slam this year, and six Grand Slams in a row across the year. No matter how crazy the script is, I think it's okay because I have already done it wholeheartedly."

Indeed, he had already taken a rough look at the movie script, which was a very crazy idea.

The film has some similarities to Michael Jordan's "Space Jam", but it makes bold innovations in content.

Ancient legend has it that in this world, no one has ever been able to dominate clay, hard courts, and grass courts at the same time.

At the same time, on these three courts, there live three evil elves who are proficient in tennis skills. Their body colors are red, blue and green respectively.

There are three colors of evil elves, corresponding to clay, hard court, and grass court respectively.

If you want to destroy these three evil elves and bring peace and tranquility to the world, you must defeat all three of them one at a time.

It's so hard!

No top tennis player in the world can do this.

At first, the tennis masters can only defeat the evil elves of one color.

But it didn't work.

As long as you lose to an evil elf of another color, the one you defeated will be resurrected.

And the conditions are very harsh. You must defeat it alone and cannot form a team.

This also corresponds to the nature of tennis as an individual sport.

Then, more outstanding masters appeared, and they were slightly better.

It is possible to defeat two of the three evil spirits, but even at this point, it is still impossible to eliminate them all.

There are three types of courts. As long as one of the evil elves in charge is not defeated, the other two evil elves will be resurrected.

You must play three games in a row in one go and defeat the three evil elves to complete the challenge.

However, none of these top tennis players can do this.

Two types of courts are the limit.

This is what everyone in the world believes, that no one can defeat the evil elves representing the three courses at the same time.

Then, Chen Ran appeared.

This is the most perfect, flawless, hexagonal warrior.

He is the god of three types of courts!

Clay, hard court, grass, he can do it all!

In the end, he was unstoppable and defeated the three evil elves on clay, hard court, and grass courts one after another, restoring peace to the world.

Crazy script!
Once the script of this movie is released, it will definitely cause a sensation in the professional tennis world.

But no one could find any fault with it.

So what if Chen Ran shoots like this?

He did dominate the four Grand Slams, completing the achievement of the annual Grand Slam.

So he deserves the script for such a crazy "Tennis" movie.

As for Chen Ran fans in China and around the world, they will also strongly support such a crazy movie.

After all, in their minds, Chen Ran has already swept all types of venues, is omnipotent, and is a well-deserved GOAT!

Maybe some players will have opinions, but they dare not express them publicly.

Otherwise, Chen Ran could also refute: If you can win the annual Grand Slam, we can also make a movie with you as the protagonist.

Who dares to respond to this?
