Chapter 337 Dragon Ball King and Plum Ball King

为了给2012伦敦奥运会留出更多的时间，欧洲各大联赛2011-12赛季的赛程都比以往提前了十天左右结束，就连欧冠联赛的决赛日期也从5月底提前到了5月19日。

The result of this is that the schedules of the major leagues are more intensive than in previous years. Even the Bundesliga, which has a relaxed schedule, has begun to frequently play double matches a week.

On April 4th, they just defeated Dortmund in an away game. On the 11th, Bayern will usher in the challenge of Mainz again.

But even though he was so nervous, Heynckes still gave the players a day off, allowing them to get a little rest, so as not to be too tired in the upcoming frequent schedule.

Originally, with Long Shu's special physical fitness, he didn't need to rest at this time, but because he consumed a lot of extra energy during the game, he also slightly reduced the amount of training.

In addition to training habitually to stay in shape, he has a little bit of business to deal with.

"If you're only talking about endorsement fees, neither deal is too big."

Agent Toni Moretti, who had not been seen for some time, arrived at the home of his employer with two letters of intent:
"FIFA13 and PES2013 are both games that will be launched in August or September, and they proposed their intentions to me almost at the same time..."

Long Shute glanced at it, and only picked up the letter of intent for FIFA13.

Moretti immediately made relevant explanations:
"For FIFA, they have already negotiated a contract with Lionel Messi, and the fees they provide us are kept at the same level as Messi's treatment, a one-time payment of 60 euros, and according to the game sales, and A reward of up to 50 euros..."

"That's how it is." Long Shute hastily doubled the content and agreed, "You can notify them to sign the contract."

Moretti's eyes fell on another letter of intent:
"Don't you consider looking at pes2013? Their cost is almost twice that of FIFA..."

Long Shu shrugged his shoulders:

"If I remember correctly, I must have told you that I will not endorse any Japanese or Korean products. Are you testing my memory?"

Moretti spread his hands:
"Okay... Dear boss, you probably don't know that I have shut out more than ten of the world's top [-] companies."

"What's wrong?" Long Shute smiled, "Do you feel distressed?"

"No, no, no," Moretti smiled and shook his head, "I'm not a greedy person, otherwise at least representatives from Toyota, Mizuno, Samsung, LG, and Hyundai would be introduced to you by me, and some representatives of the companies even told you clearly As long as I can arrange for them to meet with you, I can get a favor fee of [-] euros or even more."

"I believe." Long Shute has no doubts, because Japanese and Korean companies, like Chinese companies, do everything they can to dredge up relationships.

While the two were still talking, the personal assistant Crome Liu, who was refreshing the mobile phone news, suddenly said, "Boss, you are so patriotic...do you know it in China?"

"What do you mean?" Long Shute didn't react for a while.

Crom, who has been driving and cooking as his main business, put down his phone:

"What I mean is...why not use the media to package your image in a deeper and more three-dimensional way? Since you decided to never touch Japanese and Korean products, just make you a model of a patriotic and dedicated athlete, maybe in this way , your positive image in the country will be more prominent, and your commercial value will also be somewhat improved, right?"

Long Shute couldn't help laughing:

"I didn't realize that you still have this vision, but... I don't have any acquaintances in the media. I can't go to the TV station or newspaper to expose the news, right?"

Crome looked at him as if looking at an idiot:

"Please, Boss, what do you think the managers and personal assistants of those celebrities do? Don't they provide the media with their own initiative? As long as you agree, I can find dozens of media to help you in minutes To create momentum, not to mention... we have CCTV, the biggest megaphone!"

Long Shute, who had absolutely no experience in this area, was made guilty by his admiring eyes of idiots, and he quickly confessed:
"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you to get in touch, but don't blow it too hard..."
-
Crome and Moretti split up, and the next afternoon, the representative of the American EA company in Europe sat at Long Shute's home.

"Arno Wiederski, I am very glad to have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Mr. Long."

The tall, blond German had a big smile on his face:

"However, I would like to fully communicate some ideas of this work with Mr. Long in advance to ensure that the two parties will not have misunderstandings and unhappiness in the process of cooperation."

"I'm all ears." Long Shute smiled and waved behind him, and Crome brought out three glasses of red wine.

"Thank you, you can tell it's good wine just by smelling it."

Wiedeschi took a glass casually, praised him, and then went back to work:
"This game will be launched to the market in mid-to-late September, with multiple official language versions, including Chinese..."

——It should be explained here that due to the birth of Long Shute, Chinese football first won the 2011 Asian Cup, and then entered the 2014 World Cup Asian Top Ten. At the same time, the Chinese Olympic team also broke into the Olympic Games The main match, coupled with the gradual popularity of the Chinese Super League, the entire domestic football atmosphere is no longer the same as before.

"So for this game, we hope to include two of the top players at the same time. Mr. Long and Messi will act as our spokespersons and appear on our cover at the same time."

Wiederski seems to be a little cautious. He may be worried that the Mr. Golden Globe in front of him will not be satisfied with sharing a cover with Messi.

But it turns out that he has too much heart.

Long Shu nodded: "This is a good idea. The confrontation between me and Messi may attract more consumers, especially in China, but... Chinese gamers are not yet fully accustomed to buying genuine games. I think you should probably be prepared."

"Of course, we have already made a lot of preparations for entering the Chinese market, including the addition of servers, pricing standards, sales platforms, and digital versions. We have also made corresponding considerations. We also welcome Mr. Long to give us valuable suggestions." Wadeski With a sigh of relief: "If there is no problem, we will officially announce the news tomorrow, and the filming team will contact you at the end of May."

Long Shute laughed: "If possible, I hope you don't bother me during the Champions League final."

In the world, the most influential football games are nothing more than three brands.

One is the Football Manager FM series, produced by Sega of Japan. The biggest feature of this game is that the data is extremely real and detailed, and the gameplay is infinitely close to reality, so many professional clubs use this game as a reference for transfer...

However, due to the excessive pursuit of details, this game is more regarded as a database game. From the sales point of view, it can only be regarded as an extremely niche game, and its sales in China are almost negligible.

The other two are the PES series and the FIFA series. The producers are Konami in Japan and EA in the United States. Compared with FM, you can arrange the lineup and tactics, and then you can only watch your team play against the computer. The characteristics of these two games In terms of personal operation, you can only focus on one player to pass five levels and kill six generals, or you can remotely control the entire team to pass and control.

Although in the minds of Chinese players, these two games have their own merits and are almost equal to each other, but in the whole world, FIFA, which has the international background of American Dad, has undoubtedly smashed PES in District 11. The sales gap between the two is even close to ten times. More - FIFA12 sold an astonishing 320 million in the first week after its release in the UK, while the sales of PES2012 in the same period were only 25/[-] of that of its opponents, the gap is obvious.

As a game with an annual sales volume of more than 1000 million copies, the FIFA series undoubtedly has an unparalleled influence in the football world. Another aspect proves that Long Shute can indeed be compared with the club king in terms of competition and business.

EA's statement is like a stimulant, which once again activated the Chinese public opinion circle.

"The two heroes in the world today! The world's number one sports game proves everything!"

"The downcast Ronaldo can only endorse PES! Long Shute's only opponent is Messi!"

"Who is stronger, Long Shute or Messi? The latest FIFA tells you!"

Before this news was fully digested, another batch of news quietly appeared on various portal websites.

"It has nothing to do with the price! The captain of China sternly rejects the high-priced endorsement of PES!"

"Yao Ming and Liu Xiang are followed by Long Shute. These sports superstars refuse to endorse Japanese companies!"

"Both are superstars in the sports world, Long Shute's move embarrasses Guo Liuri and Lin Xiaodan is easy to see pity!"

……

Is this fishing for fame?
This is nothing more than reasonable publicity.

The era of doing good deeds without leaving names is long gone.
