Chapter 536 Sequence of Difficult Games 6
"I am sure that customers will enjoy seeing a menu with the best dishes that have ever been made in the restaurant, I would just recommend that you do not use some dishes from the last menu."
"Anna said that too, this is not going to be a problem, we just want customers to enjoy seeing these dishes on the menu again."
Jake was happy to see that his mother was happy, the restaurant was already 5 years old that had been opened and since the first year the restaurant was always full, Jake was proud of his mother and was happy that Eva had Anna to help her.
Jake talked for a few more minutes with his mother and went to sleep because he had to go to the advertising company early to record the commercial, the next day Jake woke up very early and after he ate breakfast and soon after David called him.
"Hi, Jake, congratulations on your victory in the last game, you scored more than 43 points in these two games, I think you will be chosen again to be the player of the month."
"Hahaha, it would be nice if that happened, but I don't know if they would choose a rookie for two months in a row, the most important thing is that the Lakers team keeps winning."
"Okay, I called to remind you that today you are going to record the commercial for Chevrolet and to give you the address of the advertising company."
"I would not forget that today Coach Rambis released us from training, so I will have the whole day to record the commercial."
"That's fine, I'm already here at the advertising company and I'm going to let the commercial director know that he'll have more time to do the recording, come when you're ready."
Jake hung up the phone and as he was ready he went directly to the address David had given, Jake was enjoying filming these commercials and was excited to know what the director would tell him to do.
Jake was very fond of acting and so he agreed to stay several months in Australia to do the filming of the movie The Matrix, especially on this second chance of his that he had more acting skills that were given by the system.
Jake arrived at the advertising company and greet handshake the director of the commercial, the Chevrolet representative and some people from the advertising company, Jake already had a reputation in Los Angeles for being a talented actor and so the advertising companies were easy to record a commercial with him.
David was talking to the commercial director and they had some assistants who were discussing something on the phone, Jack didn't know what it was, but he knew they wouldn't shoot the first scenes at the advertising company because there was nothing from the Chevrolet company at that time place.
Jake can see only a few things that were prepared for him to do the photos for the other advertisements in magazines and elsewhere for Chevrolet, after a while, David finally went to talk to Jake.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Jake, we were trying to organize the schedules for some actors and some equipment because we are going to finish the entire commercial without having to stop now that you are not going to have the training."
"I didn't know it would cause any problems if you want we can record the commercial the way it was agreed to before."
"It wasn't a problem, the sooner we can finish this commercial it would be better for everyone here, these companies are used to working with artists who have little free time to record commercials."
"We are going to the place where we are going to start recording the commercial and when we get there I tell you what you are going to have to do."
The whole team traveled for more than 2 hours until they entered a place that looked like a farm, they had already left Los Angeles and had entered a dirt road that was part of the farm.
Jack saw the farm and was curious to know what commercial they would have to record, when the film crew arrived at the farm Jake realized that this was no ordinary farm, it was something like a hotel and even had a basketball court and a field of football.
There were still animals on the farm and Jake saw crops before they arrived at the farm, so David who realized that Jake was curious finally told him what the commercial would be like, Jake liked the commercial and thought it was a lot of fun for him to do.
After they have waited for some time the other actors who had not arrived appear in the forest and so the director says that everything is ready and that they can start recording the commercial, soon Jake and the young people go to the basketball court and the commercial begins.
In the commercial, Jake and several young people were playing a game of basketball and in the commercial will show some scenes of them playing, the young people seem to be very wealthy and complain about Jake having chosen a farm for them to spend their weekend of rest.
Even more so because some of the young people say that it rained a lot the day before and therefore the farm officials warned that the dirt road was not very good for them to leave the farm.
This was their last day on the farm and the rich young people didn't want to stay on the farm anymore and wanted to leave for the city even with the warnings from the farm people, so Jake naturally left with his friends too.
So the scene changes and another part of the commercial begins in which young people arrive to get their car for them to leave, everyone has sports cars and luxury cars and Jake has his black Chevrolet Silverado.
The young people laugh at Jake's car and say that he had to choose a much better car like theirs, after all, they are friends and know that Jake also has money, and Jake replies that he prefers this more reliable car and that he has his style.
So the young people take their cars and leave the farm in a hurry towards the city, Jake is still calm and gets into his Chevrolet Silverado, then the camera shows Jake driving and the dirt road with lots of mud because of the rain.
After Jake has been on the road for a while he arrives at a place on the dirt road where his friends' cars are stuck in the mud and can't get out, the sports cars and luxury cars are dirty with mud and can't get out of the mud.
So Jake passes his Chevrolet Silverado easily through the place where his friends' cars are stuck, after passing through the place where the cars are stuck Jake to his car and take a rope and help to pull the other cars out of the mud.
This was the commercial and just like David said it took several hours for them to record the commercial because they had to find a hotel that was on the farm and rent it for a whole day, then they had to leave the dirt road with a lot of mud and not it had rained in the past few days.
It was a difficult job for the advertising team and for the director to do this scene despite all these problems, Jake found the commercial cool and interesting, the commercial showed Chevrolet Silverado well and also showed the car's capacity.
Jake thought it might be better if he just drove the Chevrolet Silverado over to the place where his friends' cars were stuck and left to get revenge for having laughed at him.
But Jake understood that with the commercial the way the director put it showed a more positive message and showed, even more, the strength of the Chevrolet Silverado towing the other cars, after several hours they finished the commercial and everyone really liked how the commercial was.
Chevrolet decided to do this type of commercial using Jake's actor side rather than showing him as a basketball player and marathoner, so they could make a more normal commercial for their company and they would still use Jake's popularity in the commercial.
After the recording of the commercial ended they went back to the advertising company to take care of the photos, the photos took a long time and Jake greet all the people who worked with him and went back to his house.
Jake recorded this commercial and then there would not be another commercial to record in the next few days, the Los Angeles Lakers team would have two games in two days in a row, after those two games the players would have 3 days of rest before the other game of the Los Angeles Lakers team.
This would be great for players who were having a hard time continuing to play well in this intense sequence of games, at that time Jake would have no rest because he would record another commercial and would have to go to the premiere of The Matrix.
Fortunately for Jake, the next commercial would be the last one he would have to record that year, the companies that sponsored him would not want to spend money making two commercials in the same year, so maybe next year he would record several commercials again, after all, his contracts were all at least 4 years old.
The other day Jake woke up very early and was preparing for the next difficult game they would have, even though in the past life the Los Angeles Lakers team won that game, Jake would not be surprised if they lost this next game.
After a few hours, Jake went to the Great Western Forum where the game would take place, Jake saw that thousands of people had come to cheer for the Los Angeles Lakers team and that the Great Western Forum could sell out again.
The Los Angeles Lakers team was standing out a lot this season with 28 wins and only 2 losses in 30 games, that season had only 50 games and it was certain that the Los Angeles Lakers team would qualify for the playoffs.
Jake's entry into the team this first season could not be better with an average of more than 34 points per game and 11 assists per game, Jake was also the player who played the most time in games with 48 minutes in all games.
