Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

"380 billion." David Steer struggled for a while, and finally added a billion.

His ideal target is the European region, where the ratings of IMD TV have not been very high, compared with NNC, NBC and European local TV stations, it is not a star and a half.If there is the right to broadcast the World Cup, a large number of loyal TV audiences can be cultivated in a month, which is beyond doubt for the development of IMD TV.

"400 Billion" Time Warner's Bewkes held up the sign again.

"410 billion." Xiao Yunhai didn't feel nervous or excited at all, and raised the sign in his hand indifferently.

There was a trace of struggle on David Steer's face, and he finally chose to give up. A little patience would lead to a big conspiracy. He needed to concentrate his funds to bid for the broadcasting rights in Europe.

After thinking about it, Bewkes also gave up the fight, and just like that, Xiao Yunhai bought the rights to broadcast World Cup games in North America at an extremely high price of 410 billion US dollars.

Next, to the most competitive European region.

Before the host could speak, David Steer held up the sign and said, "There is no need to waste time. I will pay 400 billion to buy the World Cup broadcast rights in Europe."

"Mr. Steer, you are really impatient. But 400 billion is obviously a little less, 450 billion is about the same. I will pay 450 billion."

Seeing this nearly sixty-year-old man with a wrinkled face, Xiao Yunhai asked softly, "Who is this?"

Christie said: "Caspar Zangwill, the president of the Manhattan Consortium, the largest consortium in Europe, controls a wealth of more than three trillion euros. I heard that they have officially entered the entertainment industry. It was only built in Italy a few months ago, but the ratings have been languishing."

Xiao Yunhai said: "It's another bloody battle. The key is that we have no money. 850 billion can't even buy the rights to broadcast in Europe and the United States. It's really speechless."

Zhao Wanqing said: "Husband, I don't think you need to spend such a big price to buy the World Cup. With your ability, you only need to shoot "Prison Break", and the ratings may not be lower than it. Why should we look far away?" .”

Zhao Wanqing has read the script of "Prison Break" and admires it very much. If it weren't for a pure American TV series, she might even want to play a role in it.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Honey, are you comforting me?"

Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Is it possible that I don't know what kind of person you are? To comfort you, I'm not that carefree."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then I really don't know whether to be happy or sad. Forget it, the price is almost 500 billion now, we don't have that much money, let them fight. I now find that TV seems to be more Movies make more money."

"480 billion"

"490 billion"

......

In the end, the right to broadcast the European World Cup was won by the Manhattan Consortium at a sky-high price of 520 billion US dollars.

As a result, the rights to broadcast the entire World Cup have been sold for more than 500 billion yuan, which is more than double that of four years ago. The International Football Association is simply too profitable.

After the auction ended, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing left in a hurry without attending the banquet. They needed to fly back to Huaxia as soon as possible.

As for the rest, Xiao Yunhai handed it over to Christie.

After arriving in Yanjing, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing came to the promotional site of "The Great Master" without even returning home.

At this time, Huang Qiusheng, Deng Yue and others were being interviewed by media reporters.

After the host learned that Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were here in person, he said happily: "I have some good news to tell you all. The two leading actors of "The Grandmaster", Yun Huangqing, finally rushed over from the United States. Let's use the most enthusiastic applause to welcome them."

The scene burst into applause immediately, more than 200 movie fans shouted the names of Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing frantically, and the reporters also held their cameras and cameras and waited in full force.

Soon, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing appeared in front of everyone with smiles on their faces, arm in arm.

Immediately, the whole scene was boiling, the flashlights in the hands of the reporters were like a sea of ​​thunder, and the screams and shouts of the fans were deafening.

No way, the popularity of the two is too high.

Walking onto the stage, Xiao Yunhai hugged Huang Qiusheng and others,

"Mr. Huang, thank you for your hard work."

In the recent period, Huang Qiusheng led the people to rush around China for the promotion of "The Grandmaster". In just one week, they held four promotional meetings and participated in more than ten talk shows, which made them very tired. Light, this made Xiao Yunhai very embarrassed.

Huang Qiusheng smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you can come here."

Xiao Yunhai nodded, but didn't say anything.

The host said: "Okay, friends from the press, if you have any questions, can you continue to ask?"

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that "The Grandmaster" will be released overseas, and it has also encountered a joint attack from two 3D blockbusters from Paramount. What do you think about this?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Paramount and I are old friends, we often attack each other, I am not surprised. But up to today, no matter what movie, I have never lost. This "Grandmaster" is even worse. There will be exceptions.”

"To be honest, I didn't want to bring it to Europe and the United States at first, because the things in this movie were too profound, and I was worried that fans in Europe and the United States would not understand. But now I find that my previous worries are completely unfounded. , more than 400 movie fans after watching "The Grandmaster", 80.00% scored more than 8.5 points, and strongly demanded that the movie be released in European and American theaters, which gave me considerable confidence. Paramount used two movies to attack , It just shows that they are not sure of winning. It is impossible to win our "Grandmaster"."

"Mr. Xiao, which actor do you think performed the best in the movie "The Grandmaster"? I mean including you."

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while, and said: "From a director's point of view, I think everyone's performances are very good and have fully met my expectations. If I were to choose an actor with the best performance, then I would Choose my leader."

When Zhao Wanqing heard this, she frowned slightly, and lightly touched Xiao Yunhai's arm.

Seeing Zhao Wanqing's small movements, Huang Qiusheng laughed and said, "Wanqing, you don't have to take care of us. Whether it's literary drama or martial arts, your performance on the set is the best. Even the sea of ​​clouds seems to be overwhelmed by your demeanor." Living."

Deng Yue nodded, and said: "I think so too. The role of Gong Er seems to be tailor-made for you, allowing you to perform with ease, almost reaching the extreme of a performance. Anyway, I am convinced."

Zhao Wanqing hurriedly said: "Teacher Huang, Brother Deng, you are too much of a prize, I dare not take it."

When the reporters heard what they said, they all jotted it down in their notebooks.

"Miss Zhao, it seems that everyone appreciates your performance very much. What do you think is the hardest part of filming this scene?"

Zhao Wanqing said: "Of course it's kung fu. I was the first to get the script. After reading it once, I completely fell in love with the role of Gong Er. In order to practice gossip well, Director Xiao hired a master for me. It took half a year of hard training before I became a teacher. I have to say that filming Kung Fu movies is really hard work, but fortunately we survived."'

"Mr. Xiao, how much do you think the box office of "The Grandmaster" will reach?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I was talking about 80 billion US dollars abroad."

If other directors said 80 billion US dollars, I am afraid that everyone would criticize him for being arrogant, but when it came from Xiao Yunhai who created the myth of 220 billion box office, no one felt that there was anything wrong, as if this was normal.

Afterwards, the reporters asked countless questions, most of which were to Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing.

About half an hour later, the publicity session of "The Grandmaster" ended.

Xiao Yunhai invited everyone to a five-star hotel for dinner, and expressed his gratitude to all the main creators.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Huang Qiusheng said, "Yunhai, according to the plan, are we going to participate in the cultural performance of Yunqing TV station the day after tomorrow?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "That's right. I invited many famous domestic and foreign stars to participate. It is a live broadcast in China, and then it is translated into English and rebroadcasted in Europe and the United States. What's the matter? Teacher Huang, what are you doing?" ?"

Huang Qiusheng said: "I may not be able to go the day after tomorrow. My daughter graduated from Harvard and will be in Xiangjiang tomorrow afternoon, so... I'm really sorry."

The relationship between Huang Qiusheng and his daughter is very bad. In order to make money from filming, Huang Qiusheng was not at home every day and rarely communicated with his daughter.
