Chapter 539 - Sequence of Difficult Games 9 (1/2)

”I don't really like fight scenes, especially when I see my son fighting, but this time I'm going to watch it and I'm going to take Anna with me.”

”I hope you like the movie.”

After that Jake talked to his mother for a while and went to sleep to be well for the next day, Jake woke up and went down to eat the breakfast that Mary had already sent the maids to get ready.

Mary also liked to work at Jake's house, Jake was always polite to her and the other maids and paid a good salary too, she and the other maids were concerned when they heard that a young man wanted to hire them to work.

Even more because Jake hired only women to work in the house and live in the houses of employees, there were some men working in the house too, but none lived in Jake's house and they only showed up a few days a week.

Mary was even more concerned when she learned that Jake was a basketball player, she had previously worked in other homes in Los Angeles and knew about various rumors about how other players treated maids and various rumors of harassment.

Fortunately, she soon realized that Jake was not like the players of the rumors, nor did he bring other women to his house, did not party, and was actually better than other bosses from other houses she worked for.

As soon as Jake finished eating David called him, Jake found it interesting how David seemed to know the right time to call him, David passed on the ad company's address and Jake went there.

Arriving at the advertising company Jake waited awhile until he found David talking to the director of the commercial, Jake saw this and thought that the commercial must be too long or difficult to do for David to still be talking to him, so David went to talk to Jake.

”Hi, Jake, I didn't expect you to arrive anytime soon.”

”It is better that I come early to finish recording the commercial faster, the last commercial took several hours to be recorded and today I still have to go train with the Lakers team.”

”You don't have to worry about that, Jake, I think recording the commercial won't take too long.”

Jake didn't expect David to say that Jake thought the commercial would be complicated or too long from the way he was talking to the director, but it looks like they were talking about something else.

”How come the commercial won't take too long?”

”You may have seen some Gillette commercials, they like to do a short commercial where most of them don't even have a conversation between the actors in the commercial.”

”It looks like this commercial will be no different, it will be recorded all here in the recording studio of the advertising company, you will not have lines and you will simply use Gillette's razor several times in several different scenes.”

Jake was a little disappointed to hear that, he hoped that with this sponsorship he could do an interesting commercial with Gillette too, but it seemed like they didn't think the same as Jake.

Jake remembered that Gillette sponsored several tennis players and golfers, but Jake did not remember many commercials on Gillette's television with basketball players.

”Don't worry about it, Jake, you have already recorded very good commercials with 4 big companies and even if this commercial is not so special you don't care about it.”

”Ever since Gillette came to talk to me about a contract with you, I knew it was because you brought a lot of profits to the razor company that sponsored you for many years.”

With David saying that he understood, Jake didn't really care if Gillette didn't want to use his image a lot in advertis.e.m.e.nts, just as David said it was a deal and Jake knew that Gillette would gain a lot from it when he won the NBA title with Los Angeles Lakers team.

Jake didn't know yet if the Los Angeles Lakers team could win that year, but next year it was certain that the Los Angeles Lakers team could win the NBA title, Jake knew that the Los Angeles Lakers team won in the past and could win with him in the team too.

But maybe Jake would not renew this contract with Gillette when the 4-year contract ended, if Jake got 2 more companies to sponsor him in the coming years with a higher value than his current contracts, then he might not renew the contract with Gillette.

After a few minutes, Jake started recording the commercial which, just as David said, had no lines and it was just Jake using the razor and other common scenes that would be placed in a commercial after good editing and good music.
