Fierce male god

Chapter 172 Gambling Agreement
Hoya was very helpless. Before signing the contract with Xiao Yong, he actually didn't consider that Xiao Yong might shoot movies in Europe and America.

He is just optimistic about Xiao Yong's prospects in mixed martial arts.

As a result, Xiao Yong suddenly shot a movie and was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Actor.

In Huoya's view, the previous play just came out of nowhere, and didn't even talk about it at all.

After all, the remuneration given by the employer at that time was so high that Hoya didn't know how to negotiate.

This time, there is another acting invitation.

Although he has never discussed a movie contract, and he doesn't know much about it, he still needs to talk about it.

It's all money!

In the hotel, Hoya met David Drew!
After the two shook hands, they sat down respectively!
David Drew also knew De La Hoya, and they were actually from the same age. He also watched De La Hoya's matches when De Derek was in the boxing ring.

Hoya said in a deep voice: "David, Xiao agreed to play the role in the movie. Now we can discuss Xiao's salary. I need you to give me a suitable price."

He didn't play around in circles, he wanted to see what price David Drew was offering first.

"1000 million dollars!" David Drew said in a deep voice, "I can give Xiao 1000 million dollars for this movie!"

Hearing this, Huo Ya immediately showed a disdainful expression, and exaggeratedly shouted: "David, what are you kidding? Xiao's last movie was paid 2000 million yuan, and the movie was not only a hit, but he also paid 8000 million yuan. It's time for the Oscar nominations! The movie you shot can still be released in China, right? Do you know Xiao Yong's appeal in China? Last time, the movie Xiao Yong shot in China sold 1000 million US dollars box office! It is worth mentioning that that movie is also a gang movie! You only give Xiao Yong [-] million dollars now?"

Although Hoya has never discussed a movie contract, he is very aware of Xiao Yong's commercial value and has done some homework.

Hearing Hoya's words, David Drew was speechless for a while.

I only heard Hoya continue to say: "Xiao Yong is in China, and every movie is making money. If he is willing, there are people who are willing to give him a big contract. The number of paying viewers for Xiao Yong's game is 2000 million! And Xiao Yong has nominated Oscar for Best Actor, in this case, you still want his salary to drop? Do you think my agent will agree?"

Before Hoya came here, he had already thought about it. Xiao Yong's salary for this movie must not be lower than that of the last one.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yong and David Drew have no personal relationship at all, nor are they involved with investors.

Why not take the money that should be taken?
David Drew fell into deep thought. Before that, he didn't consider the China market behind Xiao Yong.

"Then continue with the $2000 million salary!" David Drew said in a deep voice, "This price is already very high. Tom Hardy doesn't even have this value."

That's right, Tom Hardy just finished his role in Venom 1. In that movie, he was worth $750 million in salary, although with the success of Venom 1 at the box office, Tom Hardy's salary has risen.

But there is absolutely no saying that it can jump to the point of Mr. 2000 million US dollars.

Hearing the offer of 2000 million US dollars, De Hoya is still satisfied, but he is not only satisfied with this!

He shook his head and said, "No! This is not enough. The 2000 million US dollars is the price of Xiao Yong's last movie. Just the basic salary is not enough. We need a little bit of the movie's box office share!"

Upon hearing this, David Drew was a little angry!

Different from the mainland, many big-name actors are in Hollywood, and they get a share of the box office for participating in movies, but this thing is not something ordinary actors can get.

Xiao Yong is now asking for a share of the box office. In his opinion, this is undoubtedly the lion's big mouth!
He said angrily: "This is impossible, Xiao Yong only made one movie!"

Hoya looked at David Drew firmly: "But Xiao Yong can make money! He has a strong box office appeal in China! You can watch it yourself. Regardless of the movies or TV series that Xiao Yong starred in, he has a good reputation in China. And the box office! Those who invest in him have never lost money!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, if Xiao Yong really wants to make money, China's hottest live broadcast now brings goods, and Xiao Yong can make millions of dollars in commissions if he does one! This is just one! And this one It takes a day! Even hours!"

Of course Hoya didn't know if Xiao Yong could do it, but at this time, he must be bragging about it.

And according to the results of some domestic Internet celebrities carrying goods, this figure is not too exaggerated.

David Drew said angrily: "This is impossible!"

"Hmph!" Hoya was prepared, and immediately took out a list of data, and said with a smile, "Just look at the sales of these people! Think about it in a market of 14 billion people! "

In fact, Hoya can't understand the business operation mode of live broadcasting with goods. After all, it is almost impossible in foreign countries.

But by the way, Huaxia has such a thing.

But if you don't know what you don't know, it doesn't prevent him from taking it out to fool people.

All kinds of celebrity Internet celebrities brought goods data, and David Drew was taken aback for a while.

Hoya proudly said: "Have you seen it? The appeal of these people in China is not as good as Xiao Yong's. Think about it, they can do it, but Xiao Yong can't do it? So if there is only a basic salary, but you have to It is unfair to Xiao Yong to take up a lot of Xiao Yong's time."

"I want to discuss it with investors!"

This matter, David Drew can not decide.

Hoya was not in a hurry, and began to wait quietly, after about half an hour.

David Drew came back again, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yong wants to get a share of the movie's box office, so he needs to sign a gambling agreement. If the box office of this new movie in China can reach more than 3000 million U.S. dollars, Xiao Yong Yong can get 2000 million US dollars and a 1000% box office dividend, if not, then Xiao Yong's basic salary is only [-] to [-] million US dollars!"

Hoya was taken aback for a moment, and immediately made up his mind.

A box office of 3000 million U.S. dollars is more than 15 billion in China!
Although Hoya boasted loudly, he didn't know if Xiao Yong could get this number.

"If Xiao Yong disagrees, the investors will not consider increasing the box office share. The highest film remuneration is 100 million US dollars!"

David Drew said in a deep voice.

Obviously, the other party raised the basic salary by another 100 million US dollars, but this is also the biggest concession.

After Huoya heard it, he couldn't make a decision, so he called Xiao Yong.

Make an inquiry.

In fact, Xiao Yong's demand for remuneration is really not as high as that of Hoya, because he knows very well that the last remuneration was purely given by Jason Loy to please himself.

He didn't expect Hoya to talk so hard.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yong said: "Then choose the betting agreement, I want to try!"

In essence, Xiao Yong is still a person who likes to take risks.

Although it is difficult to say that China's market revenue reaches more than 3000 million US dollars.

But in the past few years, the box office of the Chinese film market has indeed been getting higher and higher.

In particular, the release of Wolf Warrior II has pushed the highest box office in history to 50 billion.

If the quality of the film really passes the test, Xiao Yong feels that there is still a chance of more than 15 billion.

David Drew also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiao Yong had chosen to sign the VAM agreement.

In essence, he also hoped that Xiao Yong would sign a VAM agreement, so that the risk to the crew would be less.

Because for something like a VAM agreement, you have to make money before you can share the money.

If the expected goal is not achieved, Xiao Yong's salary is only 1000 to [-] million, which is also a kind of risk sharing for the crew.

Confirmed the contract with David Drew.

Xiao Yong began to study the issue of the winery.

Of course, what Xiao Yong studies is wine and whiskey.

Wines include champagne and red wine.

As for the liquor industry, there are already so many in the country, and Xiao Yong doesn't want to fight.

He mainly wants to use his fame to collect money from foreigners.

Just like Connor!
Although Xiao Yong has not yet reached Connor's height, Xiao Yong never thought that he would be worse than Connor!

In the final analysis, no matter what, he is also a person with systematic body protection.

Baijiu has relatively few audiences abroad.

But on the contrary, the sales of foreign alcoholic beverages in China are very high.

And the price is not cheap.

For example, the well-known Ace of Spades is French champagne.

In China, there are actually some whiskey, champagne, and red wine wineries, but these industries can only be produced and sold domestically, and they are also in the low-end market.

There is no way, the unique attributes of Chinese people, they love face and want brands.

Regardless of the taste of the wine, with the same taste, you may drink cheap ones at home, but when you go out, you must choose a big brand, even if the price is more expensive.

Some people also naturally look down on domestic brands.

So I was crazily misappropriating money by these foreign drinks.

After looking around, Xiao Yong actually has the willingness to invest.

But the problem is, he can't do it!

And he understands that if he wants to make money, he needs quality!
You can't rely on fame alone.

Relying on fame alone without quality will definitely not work.

Therefore, Xiao Yong first went to inspect the raw materials, whiskey aside, but wine, Xiao Yong personally went to the Northwest.

Tasted all kinds of grapes in the Northwest!
The final conclusion is that it is delicious!
But it didn't work.

Why, because Xiao Yong doesn't know how to make wine at all, and he can't tell which grapes are suitable for making wine.

I don't know the craft either.

And he doesn't have any hands either.

Xiao Yong spent a lot of money to buy a lot of foreign grapes.

For example, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier are needed to brew the Ace of Spades.

After eating, Xiao Yong found that, as far as domestic grapes are concerned, at least they are not inferior to these in terms of taste.

As for whether there was anything to say during the brewing process, he was not sure.

However, this also gave Xiao Yong an idea.

That is, at least in terms of raw materials, we are no worse than foreign ones.

It's just that many grapes are not so famous, or they are more expensive.

The plan is temporarily stalled, but Xiao Yong does not intend to give up.

Just saying it takes a chance to be more mature.

In this process, the film crew has also completed preparations.

Official announcement to the outside world!

When I saw that Xiao Yong was going to cooperate with Tam Hardy in a gang movie.

The expectations of all the audience were raised immediately!

"Damn! These two guys play gangsters, can't they do it?"

"I've seen their boss get slaughtered!"

"Maybe Tom Hardy is playing the boss."

"It's also possible that at Xiao Yong's age, he should be playing a young gang member!"

"Hehe, if I see this kind of guy, I will definitely offer the protection fee."

The ruffian played by Tom Hardy is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Coupled with Xiao Yong's fierce face, the audience is looking forward to what kind of sparks will be created between them.

And Xiao Yong's salary has also attracted much attention.

At the press conference, Xiao Yong was not present. The match between him and Diamond Dustin Poirier was approaching.

He is concentrating on preparing for the battle in the beautiful country!
Director David Drew was asked about it.

He smiled and replied: "Xiao Yong's salary is unknown now, because we signed a gambling agreement, so how much he can get depends on the final box office."

The reporters didn't get an answer, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Many people are very interested in the contents of this VAM agreement.

So, in the beautiful country, reporters soon blocked Xiao Yong outside the boxing gym.

"Shaw! Can you tell us what the gambling agreement between you and David Drew is?"

"Xiao, please answer."

"resemble"

Holding the microphone to question Xiao Yong, Xiao Yong stopped in his tracks. With a gloomy expression, he turned his head and looked at the reporters.

Everyone stopped and took two steps back unconsciously.

Xiao Yong's face became gloomy, and he looked really scary.

"I'm currently preparing for the battle. You'd better not come here to harass me. As for your questions, I can only say that I have no comment!"

Xiao Yong also did not disclose the content of the bet.

In fact, it was he who asked David Drew to keep the VAM agreement confidential.

Because he didn't want this agreement to spread.

He is very clear that if the news spreads, there may be some Chinese audiences who didn't want to watch the movie, but would pay for the tickets!

Revealing it in advance will inevitably mean kidnapping domestic audiences.

Xiao Yong didn't want to be like this.

In essence, he is really not short of money now. He has the pursuit of money, but there must be a bottom line.

And when Xiao Yong went to the northwest, besides eating grapes, he also donated to three primary schools.

After the first time, it was much easier.

These matters were handed over to Zheng Tiequan.

As for Xiao Yong's daily training, he is basically not responsible anymore.

This time when he came to the beautiful country, he didn't even come, but was busy with school affairs in the country.

Hearing what Xiao Yong said, none of the reporters dared to ask further questions.

For this game, Dana White decided to hold it at the Knicks' home stadium, Madison Square Garden.

It can be said that for many years, this place has always been a holy place for boxing.

Hosted many famous boxing matches.

The Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier match was held here and is considered one of the most classic matches in history.

It can be said that every boxer wants to compete here.

The venue can accommodate [-] spectators in total.

The cheapest ticket price for this game was two hundred dollars, and the most expensive ticket was more than three thousand dollars.

The ticket revenue for a game is 400 million US dollars.

And because of the official announcement of the movie, Dana Bai specially invited the main actors of the entire crew to watch the game!

Although he will send out many tickets, it is complementary to publicity.

At the pre-match press conference, Xiao Yong wore the latest Yan Luo series sports short sleeves and shoes on stage!

Basically, Xiao Yong will definitely promote when he can.

Although this will cause him to lose a sum of official sponsorship fees, Anta's sales share in the beautiful country has indeed increased. Anta is very clever and will make up for Xiao Yong's lost sponsorship fees in every game. .

After the last game, Xiao Yong's popularity has increased again, and the total number of fans on Twitter has exceeded [-] million.

Compared with the number of fans he has on domestic social media, this number is actually not high.

Xiao Yong's personal social media in China has more than [-] million fans.

This is mainly due to the blessing of Xiao Yong's dual identity. Apart from being a boxer, he has gained a lot of fans in various TV dramas and movies.

As for Twitter, although the number of tens of millions of fans is not too much, you must know that in the entire UFC, the only male players with more than ten million fans are Conor McGregor and Khabib.

After defeating Connor, Kitty Habib has gained fans all the way.

Fans have broken through from 700 million to 3000 million.

There is only a gap of more than 1000 million from Connor.

A victory in a game made his worth skyrocket!
And Xiao Yong has become the third male player in the current UFC with more than [-] million followers on Twitter!

The only female player is the retired Ronda Rousey, who has 500 million fans.

Of course, compared to others, Xiao Yong's number of fans is actually quite impressive.

Because he is blessed by many Chinese and movie fans.

There are fewer pure boxing fans.

But even so, Xiao Yong's popularity has already reached here.

So Dana Bai is still looking forward to this game.

At the press conference, Dana Bai looked at the reporter and said with a smile: "As you can see, this will be a very exciting game. Xiao Yong is a brutal guy. He currently holds the record of all wins and all finishes. Dustin Pu Valier, also one of the most powerful fighters in lightweight. Now you can ask questions."

"Xiao Yong, what do you think of your opponent?"

The reporter asked a question.

Xiao Yong picked up the microphone and glanced at Dustin Poirier on the other side. Not to mention, this guy looks really good.

"Well, I think Dustin is a very capable boxer, and he is also a person who can set an example by his behavior off the ring. I admire that."

This is true. Compared with Xiao Yong’s income, Dustin Poirier actually doesn’t make that much money, but he is still enthusiastic about public welfare, which Xiao Yong admires very much.

But he immediately changed the subject and said: "But a game is a game, and I will win the game! There can only be one ruler in the lightweight class, and that is me, whether it is Dustin or Khabib, they None of them will be my opponent!"

Dustin Poirier looked at Xiao Yong and sneered, "You can't win, you guy who can only hug and wrestle, I will destroy you with my fist!"

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of desire to win!

Their goals are very consistent, and they are both lightweight champions.

But they all know that if they want to do this, they must win all the way!

And the first thing is to defeat the opponent in front of you!
