I am Kaka

Kaka's vacation ended earlier than expected, only 10 days at full play, the national team will start training at the end of June, and before that, he still has a few commercials to shoot.

The first one is Pepsi.

Compared with its old rivals, Pepsi attaches great importance to the endorsement of football, almost including most of the super giants in today's football. This time, Beckham, Raul, Carlos, Totti and Ronaldinho, Kaka was the last one to arrive.

In addition to Ronaldinho's hug and Carlos' long pass with his left foot, he was greeted.

It is said that it is a pass, but its strength is similar to that of a shot.

Carlos' shot... is basically on the level of premeditated murder.

Ronaldinho was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms, Kaka hurriedly staggered a step, and firmly unloaded the ball with the inside of his left foot.

"Carlos, is this how you greet your friends?"

"No, this is for the champion," Carlos walked over with a smile, opened his arms, and gave Kaka a firm hug, "This is for friends."

Kaka greeted the others again. He met Beckham in the World Cup, and he played against Raul and Totti in the club. Totti was just abused and almost couldn't take care of himself. He could barely be called an acquaintance. .

Compared with the tit-for-tat confrontation on the court, everyone is quite harmonious off the court, with a bit of sympathy for each other. After a brief exchange, the intense shooting began.

Pepsi already has two classic ads this year.

One was shot by Real Madrid and Manchester United. At that time, the two teams met in the Champions League. Pepsi took the opportunity to make trouble and put up a new version of Coke. The Western cowboy style of Beckham and Iker Casillas is really cool. , Product sales soared directly.

The other was filmed by the three pop queens Britney, Beyoncé, Beth Moore and the Spanish love song prince Enrique. After many years, it is still considered to be one of the best Pepsi advertisements. The three actresses The scene of the gladiator singing "we will rock" in the Colosseum is still dominating the TV screens in Europe and America.

Probably inspired by the latter ad, Pepsi called together several football superstars and planned to shoot another one with the same gladiator theme.

There used to be Van der Vaart in the original time and space, but now it has become Kaka.

The production cost of this advertisement alone was five million pounds. It tells the story of several gladiators who use their superb skills to defeat vicious enemies, and finally let everyone have Pepsi again. Of course, there are a lot of slots, but the advertisement The selling point is that several stars show off their skills on the same field, and no one cares about the logic.

The shooting location was located in the famous Gaviria Palace in Madrid, the capital of Spain. Robert Alsop, who once served as a costume stylist in the film "Gladiator", tailor-made armor for these stars that imitated medieval warriors. His figure and temperament are quite similar-except for Kaka.

Although Totti, Raul, and Beckham follow the princely route, it is not difficult for Totti to play a gladiator with his sculpture-like facial features and mature appearance, while Raul and Beckham are both in their twenties and close to their thirties At a young age, with a little make-up, he can become a handsome uncle, and it is also acceptable to pretend to be a gladiator.

As for Ronaldinho and Carlos, their looks are more brutal, as long as their expressions are fierce, it will be fine.

Only Kaka is more inconsistent.

Although he has a tough style of playing and a tall and straight figure, his whole person is white and clean, and his painting style has always been that of a quiet and handsome man. He is clearly wearing rough gladiator armor, but his whole person looks like an elegant noble knight , Standing with a few people is terribly awkward.

In the end, it was the stylist who had a better mind. Not only did he blacken Kaka, but he also made him bare-chested, with a body of tendons to set off, making him look tougher.

In Pepsi commercials, Beckham has always been in the C position, but after several rounds of filming, everyone found that Kaka's role in the scene seems to be almost on par with Beckham.

How Raul and the others feel is unknown,

Anyway, the brokers were quite depressed.

It is extremely shameless to be handsome and bully.

The filming went smoothly. After all, the advertisement is not a movie, and the requirements for acting skills are not so high. Everyone mainly wants to show off their skills, as long as they perform in their true colors.

During the shooting interval, various transfer rumors naturally entered their ears. Kaka could learn a lot of news just by listening to a few calls from his agents every day. Everyone else was fine, only Beckham and Ronaldinho seemed special. Busy, it seems that all major clubs are contacting them.

Although he knew the final result better than anyone else, he still had to pretend to be the curious Kaka.

"It looks like Beckham is set to go, how about you?"

"Manchester United," Ronaldinho said with a signature smile on his face, "the No. 7 jersey."

"confirmed?"

"Not yet, but it's almost there." Xiao Luo didn't know that he was actually a spare tire, and he was still smiling, "What about you?"

"Of course I'm in Milan."

Carlos on the other side said angrily: "So Real Madrid is not attractive to you at all?"

"Of course there are, but I prefer the environment in Milan, but you," Kaka lowered his voice, "I received news that Cafu may come to Milan this year, don't you come to form a pair of golden wings?"

"Cafu?" Carlos was stunned, "Milan?"

Ronaldinho was also surprised and said, "Is Cafu thirty-three years old? Are you still going to Milan?"

"So what about thirty-three? It's not like you don't know his status. He will definitely be able to play for a few more years. When it comes to this, you have to pay attention. I can hear the news of you having a good time in Paris in Milan. Don't ruin yourself at a young age."

"Cut! My name is to enjoy life, let me live like you..." Ronaldinho said with a shuddering movement.

"No," Carlos did not participate in their topic, "Isn't Cafu planning to go to Japan? I heard from him that he has already made an appointment with a Japanese club, and he will go to the J-League after the contract with Rome expires this year. .”

"But it's different now. Milan is interested in him. If it were you, how would you choose?"

"This... is really amazing."

Kaka patted him on the shoulder, "You haven't seen anything more amazing."

Manchester United chased Ronaldinho, and Barcelona chased Beckham. As a result, Beckham went to Real Madrid, and Ronaldinho went to Barcelona, ​​which was more complicated than a love triangle.

It took a full three days to film a few minutes of commercials, and finally finished filming Kaka and rushed to the United States to shoot Nike.

Of course, Bosco was accompanied throughout the whole process, while Nike's old acquaintance Redick greeted him in person.

Kaka's exclusive sneakers have been released. Although it is still the Assassin series, it has made a lot of changes. It is a sub-brand of Assassin, just like Ronaldo's CR7 in the future. Nike originally wanted to name it "K22". But Kaka rejected it because he thought it was too silly. Later, Nike wanted to call it "Son of God", but Kaka said it was too high-profile and did not agree.

The final name was Windrunner.

White upper, black "" logo, simple and elegant.

Kaka put on his sneakers, jumped a few times on the spot, ran back and forth a few times, and finally tried to bounce the ball for a while.

Everything is satisfactory, but there seems to be something wrong with the filming of the advertisement. Kaka has already prepared for it, but has not received the notice to start for a long time.

Bosco went to inquire about it, and then came back with a sullen face.

"What's wrong?"

"Nike attaches great importance to this commercial, and specially invited the most outstanding director in the industry, but that director has stopped making commercials and is preparing his own movie. Nike has made a big..."

Kaka said helplessly: "Let's get to the point, Dad."

Bosco glanced at his son with dissatisfaction, "The director is not satisfied with the script."

Kaka resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "The advertisement needs a woolen script, isn't it over for being handsome?"

"You don't know, people have artistic pursuits." Bosco's tone was full of helplessness.

Redick also came over and said, "Sorry, Kaka, we may not be able to shoot today."

"I heard that the director is not satisfied with the script?"

"That's right," Redick said helplessly, "Director Zack Schneider is one of the best commercial directors now. He has already received an invitation from the production company and is preparing his first film. We It took a lot of money to invite people here, and although the script was carefully polished by our advertising agency, we must respect his opinion."

Kaka has also read the script. Of course, it’s fart to polish the magic horse carefully, but he is also very upset with this great director. "Didn't he read the script before? He only brought it up when he was ready to shoot?"

Redick smiled wryly. He was obviously the beneficiary, so why did he have to wait on both ends now, "I just said that he is preparing to make a movie, so... the time may be a bit tight."

Bosco said: "We don't have much time. You know, the national team training is about to start, and Kaka will report soon."

"I know, Schneider is also a screenwriter himself, we will as soon as possible..."

Kaka only realized belatedly: "Wait, what did you say the director's name is?"

"Zack Snyder."

"...That's no wonder."

Slag director, "300 of Spartans", "Superman: Man of Steel", although making any movie is like shooting a MV, it is understandable that he is a bit picky in creation.

"So let's go back to the hotel and rest first."

"Can I talk to the director?"

Redick said: "Of course, I also hope that everyone can communicate well and get the work done quickly."

Zach Schneider is an American, not interested in football, but he is not yet a famous Hollywood director in the future. Although he is a big player in the advertising industry, he really can't stand in front of Kaka.

"I'm sorry, Kaka, it was my mistake, I didn't do the preparation work well, but since I am the director, I have to be responsible for the work, and if there is no accident, this will be the last commercial I shoot, I don't want to stay What a pity." Schneider's tone was light, but his attitude was very clear, "I believe you must also hope that you can present your best side in front of the audience, right?"

"Of course," Kaka said, "Actually, to be honest, I'm not too satisfied with the script. I don't know how the director wants to change it?"

"There is no specific idea yet, but it turns out that this is definitely not possible."

"How long will it take? I don't think we have much time."

"It's hard to say something like this, but I will perfect it as soon as possible, two days at the latest."

"...Can you tell me what you are not satisfied with? Maybe we can discuss it and finish it as soon as possible."

Schneider opened his mouth, wanting to complain but didn't know where to start.

The original script is more like a photo shoot than an advertisement. A lot of shots are focused on Kaka’s face and feet. What he pursues is all cool and fancy. use?

"The protagonist is you and the sneakers. It must be correct to shoot like this according to the script, but..." Schneider considered his words, "It's a bit too superficial."

The screenwriter of the advertising company finally came late at this time, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction when he heard this, "What we want to focus on is Kaka's characteristics, young and handsome, and then highlight the sports elements, Is there something wrong? This is an ad, not a music video, let alone a movie."

Schneider glanced at him, looking too lazy to talk to him.

He didn't dare to play big cards against Kaka, but against an unknown person, the director still had confidence.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

"If you say that, it seems that I still have a little right to speak," Kaka broke the silence, "Young and handsome have never been my label. If I can, I hope others can see my efforts, not Those external things."

Schneider glanced at Kaka, looking a little cross-eyed, but the screenwriter whose name was not even interested was upset again. Although he tried his best to suppress the sarcasm in his tone, he still couldn't help showing a hint of teasing , "So how do you shoot? Shoot your training session? Gym? The training ground at night? Sorry, Kaka, we also thought about it. If you are from a poor family, then I can still design this way to make the whole advertisement full of inspirational colors, But the reality is that it is difficult to shoot like this, and it is not convincing.”

"Isn't it very simple, what's the difficulty?" Kaka smiled, "Just tell a story."

Of course Kaka can't tell the story, but he can copy it.

"I must stress again, this is an ad, not a movie."

"What story?" Schneider became interested. "From a professional's point of view, the story of struggle is easy to shoot, but it is really not easy to shoot well."

"Then let's make it up now," Kaka immediately switched to storytelling mode, "I, Kaka, a famous star, bumped into a ball boy during a game one day, and then our souls happened. exchanged..."

"???"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, what is this unfolding?

"The star has become a caddy, and the caddy has become a star?" Naturally, Schneider was the quickest to accept, and he even caught Kaka's idea immediately.

"That's right, to put it simply, I didn't give up my hard work as a caddy. I succeeded again through my own hard work, and finally stood on the professional football field again. The caddy did not disappoint the talent of 'Kaka'. Maintaining a high level of competition, the two finally met in the game."

"Then there was a collision, and the souls were exchanged again?" Schneider's eyes lit up, "Sounds interesting..."

"That's right, but because it's about sneakers, the sneakers I wore when I was a caddy kept changing. As I worked hard, my career became more and more successful, and the sneakers on my feet changed from the old Nike sneakers. Turned into a new one, and finally became a windrunner..."

Schneider couldn't help but started pacing back and forth excitedly, saying, "If you say that, that slogan is no longer appropriate."

The original slogan is "Speed, Unsurpassed", which is quite satisfactory, but it does match the name of Windrunner.

"I thought of a sentence, I don't know if it's appropriate?"

"What?" The one who couldn't help but speak this time was the dog editor who had already been stunned.

"The stars live up to the passers-by."
