Chapter 539 Sequence of Difficult Games 9

"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 advertisements, 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.

Jake took some pictures after that and just as David said the recording of the commercial had only taken a few hours and Jake could easily arrive at his training with the Los Angeles Lakers team.

After Jake left he was happy that this was the last commercial even though he was a little disappointed, Jake knew that the other day he still had to attend the Premiere the next day and only after that, he could relax.

Jake did more heavy training with the team as they would still have 2 days to rest, Coach Rambis was concerned because in the last games the Los Angeles Lakers team won with a small advantage in points.

After training Jake returned to his house to take a shower and rest, Mary knew that Jake would be coming home and had already prepared everything for him and Jake just relaxed in the bathtub.

Jake got out of his bath and thought it would be good to call Kate to tell her about the movie he attended that would open the next day, even if Kate was busy she could go watch it some other day when she had time.

"Hi, Kate, how are you?"

"I'm fine, Jake, I miss you, but I'm working a lot after Grammy, Lily is happy with that and so am I, but I still miss you."

"I am happy to know that you are doing a lot of shows, I miss you too, but I am also busy with the games and the advertising work, I am much happier to know that you are also happy working."

Kate understood what Jake said, they had talked about it and Jake said that he accepted Kate to continue her career and doing shows which made her very happy, Jake said that he would feel guilty if she had to stay home alone waiting for him while he was playing in the NBA.

Kate liked Jake very much and it would be a big shock to her if he wanted her to stop singing if Jake wanted that Kate would probably choose her career because she always loved singing, but she would suffer a lot from it.

Kate was an independent woman, but she remembered how happy her mother was even though she didn't work and just took care of her and her father, but Kate wanted to continue singing because she loved singing and hearing that Jake supported her and that made her so much quieter.

"I know you support me and I'm happy with it, Jake, I've seen your commercial on Gatorade several times in the past few days and I've missed it most because of it."

"I called you to say that tomorrow there will be the premiere of the film I participate in, but hearing you say that I don't know if you want to watch it."

"Of course I'm going to want to watch it, I like to miss you, it makes me more anxious for when we meet, tomorrow I don't have a show, so I'm going to watch the movie, unfortunately, I'm not going to be in Los Angeles. "

"I hope you enjoy the movie, try to take Lily to see the movie with you, I think she will like the movie."

"I'm going to try, but I don't think Lily likes fighting movies very much."

Jake talked for a long time with Kate until they had to hang up because the two of them would be very busy the next day, Jake had his training with the Los Angeles Lakers team and then would have the film premiere.

And Kate had to rehearse for her show and also go to watch Jake's debut, Jake knew that Lily wouldn't let Kate go to the cinema if she didn't do her training, Jake had seen Kate training a few times and knew how much it was difficult.

Jake slept well that day and soon came the Premiere of the movie The Matrix, Jake had ordered a suit from Armani especially for this premiere and they had already delivered it to his house, so Jake asked Mary to leave the suit ready for when he returned home.

At this Premiere in Los Angeles, only Jake would go, after all the other actors and directors of the film had already participated in other previews a few days ago in other countries and also in the United States.

Even so, several photographers and reporters would attend this premiere for the public in Los Angeles just because Jake would participate, Jake wouldn't have to say anything before the film and would just have to take a few pictures.

In the same movie theater that Jake would watch, there would be many reporters and photographers and the normal audience too, so Warner Bros. prepared some security guards with the cinema's authorization to give Jake some protection at this Premiere.

Jake ate his breakfast and waited a few hours before going to the Los Angeles Lakers team training, it would be a lighter training because the next day they would do another light training and they were already going to travel to the next game.

In training, Jake realized that Shaquille O'Neal and the other players already seemed more rested after those 2 days without games, with this intense sequence of games those 3 days of rest would be great for the players to endure until the end of the game season.
