Back then, Seidou High School paid a huge price in order to recruit Sawamura.
A player who led the team to two national championships in middle school!
This has a fatal attraction for a Giant like Seidou High School. They haven't got to Koshien for five years in a row. Even if they did, they would still recruit talents like Sawamura.
A player like Sawamura, even if they will not have him, you cannot give him to others.
When Sawamura graduated, almost all the powerhouses in the country invited him.
Including Inashiro and Sankou in West Tokyo.
These two schools have their own Ace, and even the Ace of Inashiro is in the second grade.
They did not need Sawamura's skills for a while. Even so, they still didn't give up and invited Sawamura.
The purpose is the same as the above, even if I don't need him for a while, I can't leave Sawamura to others. Moreover, in the pitcher position, the more you have the merrier.
Compared with these national-level Tyrants, Seidou does not have any advantages. Nevertheless, they need Sawamura more than those Giants, so they will offer more and show more sincerity.
The position of the main force, the seat in the first string, the scholarship, and all other tuition fees are completely free…
In addition to all of that.
Seidou High School even guaranteed that after Sawamura graduated, even if Seidou High School didn't have good results during his time, they would walk Sawamura to a good professional team they had a good relationship well.
Seidou High School sent an invitation to Sawamura with almost everything down to the most basic level.
Moreover, not counting the Takashima Rei also gave the school some advantages that the school did not have.
In short, it is money.
Or more like an opportunity to make money.
Sawamura will be used to endorse some brands of the Takashima Group.
To this end, the Takashima Group has to pay Sawamura Eijun a lot of money.
This is equivalent to giving money to Sawamura in disguise.
Although Sawamura himself is not in need or has much interest in money, he is also open to anyone who comes, and he will never let it be left outside if he can get it in his pocket.
After the cooperation, the Takashima Group suddenly discovered that there was a huge business opportunity in Sawamura. They did not just help Sawamura to increase his reputation, but their own sales had grown considerably.
Before and after the collaboration, Sawamura boosted Takashima's sales in these brands by four percent.
These four percentage points may seem like a lot, but it is a profit nonetheless.
Businessmen who have enjoyed the sweetness will naturally not let the gold mine of a Sawamura go, and they will immediately sign more endorsement contracts with Sawamura.
It was also at a time like this that they learned that Sawamura himself also endorsed three other brands.
His business income is more than some current professional baseball players.
The managers of the Takashima Group suddenly felt that they couldn't play anymore.
They have also invited many stars, and there are not many stars like Sawamura who have the ability to attract money.
The most terrifying point is that Sawamura is not very famous except for being a bit famous in the baseball circle.
However, he is very liked by his fans.
Also uninterrupted, this is also Sawamura's first commercial.
In addition, the Hirota Group, who signed the first contracts for endorsement with Sawamura, owned the crew responsible for this shooting.
Because the Hirota Group has invested in a large number of movies and TV series, they are unique in the production of commercials.
According to their contract with Sawamura, There are two commercial shoots a year. In these two commercial shoots, it was not that Sawamura would go to their studios, but that they would come to Sawamura's school.
This kind of dedication is usually a bit much but Sawamura is a high school baseball player so he needs to study and train, and also someone high in the company is also Sawamura's fan so they gave him a good contract.
Sawamura is currently living in the Seidou High School dormitory, and the shooting of advertisements naturally requires the permission of Seidou High School.
Therefore, of course, the Hirota crew made such a request to Seidou High School to use their ground.
After receiving the request, the chubby principal was very excited.
Faced with one of the best studios in the country, how could he miss such a good opportunity?
In one go, he agreed to the advertiser's request to shoot a commercial video in Seidou and asked for another shoot by the way.
He asked if they could make a commercial video for the admission advertisement of Seidou High School.
They will pay for it of course!
Hiring the Hirota Studios is not something you can hire if you have money. There is no shortage of clients.
Considering that there will be a need to make more requests to Seidou High School in the future with the contract of Sawamura, the filming crew of the Hirota Studios agreed immediately.
Therefore, this time, they came with a double filming mission.
One was of course filming an advertisement for cleats with Sawamura, and the other was filming the promotion video of Seidou High School on the way.
In the past, the school's own camera team made all the promotion videos of Seidou High School.
You can only say that the intentions are good, but the quality? Let's not talk about it.
Now the principal decided to shoot an official one.
This official video, of course, will focus on the baseball team of Seidou High School.
When this request was made to Kataoka, Kataoka was a little stunned.
Wasn't this the period leading up to the big summer?
However, the players were very enthusiastic about it.
Recently, the pace of training at Seidou High School has also slowed down. The players themselves don't dare to blindly train more. The most important thing at a time like this is to ensure their own strength.
Can training now get them any good improvement? Not to mention the greater chance of injury.
Unless there are players who feel that they may make an improvement in a short period, most players choose to stay the same.
They will use their familiar rhythm and the most stable state of mind to welcome the upcoming summer competition.
Nevertheless, such waiting is very boring.
Suddenly a filming crew came, in this adjusting time.
Kataoka also realized the mood of the players, especially with Ochiai's suggestion, he nodded in agreement and agreed to film this time.
"If we really have the confidence about entering Koshien, then of course we better accept. The more famous the players are, the better for them. Isn't some players also aiming for the Pro Leagues, this will have a huge help and influence on their future career planning, even when applying for universities."
Everything is for the future of the students.
This reason sealed the deal, and Kataoka had no way of rejecting it.
