However, PolyGram requires both parties to sign a non-disclosure contract, neither of which can disclose the contents of the contract.

Wu Jie knew that PolyGram had made a lot of concessions on him, so the content of the contract could not be spread, otherwise the international singers under PolyGram would rebel.

First of all, this contract does not set any work requirements for him, that is to say, if Wu Jie wants to release three albums a year, he can release one album in three years. In short, everything depends on his will.

In addition, it is about the share of record sales, which was also one of the biggest disagreements that could not be reached at the beginning.

Wu Jie asked for a 25% share of the global sales, and Polygram was responsible for all aspects of record production, publicity, and distribution.

That is to say, he only cares about creation, and PolyGram takes care of the rest.

But in the end, for every dollar sold, he had to take 2 cents directly from it.

At first glance, this percentage does not seem to be much, but you must know that making records requires costs, and global promotion and distribution are all links that cost money, and then distributors around the world have to take one-third of the profits.

Calculated in this way, the 25% share that Wu Jie asked for could be called a lion's mouth. No one has ever signed such a contract that makes a record company more like a part-time job.

It's hard to calculate how much PolyGram can earn under such a contract, but Wu Jie's account is easy to calculate.

Michael Jackson sold almost 80 million records in the 80s, if calculated according to the price of each 12-inch LP record in the 10s at $[-], it would be a billion-dollar global sales.

There are so many songs in Wu Jie's database that can be copied. It is not difficult to sell 25 million records in the next ten years. Isn't the [-]% share rate very scary at this time?

Of course, there are requirements for PolyGram to agree to such a contract.

They need to sign an 8-year long-term contract with Wu Jie, and automatically get 20 years of exclusive distribution rights for each record released by Wu Jie during the contract period, this time starts from the first day of the record release.

Wu Jie agreed to this condition, because he knew that Polygram would dominate the record industry in the next ten years, and this contract was a win-win in his eyes.

After the signing of these two big contracts, Wu Jie began to focus on China.

Chen Haonan and Lu Da, it's time for them to show their talents.

Chapter 119 I Like to Bully South Korea

On May 5, Bayern will face Eintracht Frankfurt at home.

But 6 hours before the start of the game, a game to determine the main match of the "Men's Basketball World Club Championship" was first staged in the Philippines.

As we all know, due to the influence of American culture, basketball has always been very popular in the Philippines. It is the number one sport in the Philippines, or the national sport.

Filipinos are more fanatical about basketball than any other sport. Therefore, as early as 1975, the Philippine Basketball League (PBA), the most standard professional basketball league in Asia, was established.

In addition, the Philippines has also created a standard college league, basically copying the NBA and NCAA to the Philippines.

The history of NBA players playing in the PBA after retiring is also many years earlier than the CBA. Even the first time an NBA team played against a FIBA ​​team, the opponent was a club in the Philippines.

So in the first World Club Asian Trials, the "Philippines Northern Cement" team under the Chinese billionaire Xu Huange swept the clubs in Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia one after another, and finally met the Bayi Team of China in the final.

There are only 12 places in the main match of this World Club Championship, and only one qualifying place is given in the Asian division. Of course, both clubs are bound to win.

In addition to the home field advantage, the Philippine Northern Cement team has three American foreign aids, two European foreign aids, and even an active military base stationed in the Philippines with dual citizenship of the United States and the Philippines. American soldiers, even the head coach are foreign teachers from Yugoslavia.

This is the reason why "Northern Cement" can sweep the Asian teams. The players who can play on the field are basically foreign players, and even the coaches are not natives.

But the Bayi team has no chance?

Of course not, "Northern Cement" averaged 32 points per game before reaching the final, but China's Bayi team averaged 40 points per game against their opponents!

That's right, 40 points!

If "Northern Cement" beats its opponents all the way to the finals, then the Bayi team crushes their opponents all the way to the finals!

Especially in the semi-final against South Korea's "Kia Motors", the Bayi team beat all the shit out of the South Korean players with a huge score of 105:46.

At this time, the South Korean media once again fell into a state of mourning. They were brutally abused by the Chinese team in the football field not long ago.

This time Kia Motors brought together the three main players of the South Korean national team, for a total of 6 national team players.

I thought I could get a good result in the Asian qualifiers, but who would have thought that I would have such a miserable battle by the Chinese team.

Now it is tantamount to a total defeat of football and basketball, and the domestic people in South Korea are almost afraid to watch sports channels.

At this time, in addition to the foreign players of "Northern Cement" reported by the Asian media, the 17-year-old rookie of the Bayi team was also the focus of the media. In the words of the Philippine media-this is a monster that is hardly human!

This monster is of course Lu Da. He was officially transferred to the men's basketball team of the August 4st Military Region in April, and he also brought his fellow countryman Gong Luming over to fill in the shortcomings of Wu Xinshui's old age.

这次的亚洲预选赛，鲁达在前4场比赛里场均能得到44分17篮板6助攻7盖帽6抢断。

Naturally, his most brilliant battle was in the semifinal against South Korea when he scored 55 points, 22 rebounds, 8 assists, 8 blocks, and 7 steals.

Such a miraculous performance shocked the whole of Asia. In today’s final, at least dozens of countries sent nearly a hundred media. They all wanted to see this Chinese non-professional team, and met the Philippines, which almost relied on foreign aid. Team, who will win?

"Our opponent is very strong, especially the strong power forward. Don't treat him like a high school student. This is a guy who can go to the NBA draft and be selected in the top three."

The head coach of the Northern Cement Team, Jatovic, reminded those American foreign players who were clamoring to kick the Chinese ass. He could see from the videos of the Chinese team’s previous games that this opponent was very good. In particular, the tactical execution ability and basic skills are not inferior to the Yugoslav team.

But from the indifferent expressions of these Americans, it can be seen that these bastards still don't take him as the head coach seriously.

"Mr. Coach, the Asian teams are all vulnerable. They win more points than us because their opponents are weaker."

"Yeah, if that young boy meets us, he will know that the Asian competition is not worth mentioning. No matter how good this kind of competition is, it is not convincing."

"How could he be selected in the top three, Mr. Jatovic, do you know what level the NBA is?"

"Mr. Coach, you will know how vulnerable that little Chinese kid is in a moment. We will let him know how vast the world is, and China is just an evil place abandoned by God."

The four American foreign players of the Northern Cement Team have always dismissed this Yugoslav. If it weren't for the fact that NBA players could not participate in the Olympics and World Championships, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia would have no chance to challenge the American basketball.

This Yugoslav has no idea what level of players are in the NBA. How can a Chinese be able to play in the NBA?

At the moment, in the locker room of the Bayi team, head coach Zhou Chunlin is making the final arrangements.

"Northern Cement's foreign aid comes from all corners of the country. A few Americans are physically strong and have good physical fitness, but their basic skills are not solid; European foreign aid has good skills, but average physical fitness. We cannot underestimate them, but there is no need to myth them. This team The biggest problem with the team is poor discipline and disjointed tactical execution. European and American foreign players are not compatible with each other and do not cooperate. Therefore, we must actively help defend and double-team them, and whichever side holds the ball will isolate the other side.”

Zhou Chunlin has also done research on Northern Cement. The team has strong personal abilities, but they always fight on their own in the game, especially the two European foreign players and the American foreign players hardly cooperate.

In this case, no matter how strong the individual ability is, the fight is still a mess.

"We're going to play as a team tonight, play as a team, and beat them with our speed!"

The Bayi team naturally still wanted to fight Xiao Lingkuai. Although Mu Tiezhu would definitely not be able to get up to speed, the other four could rush over and play a wave of fast breaks.

The international basketball rule of this era is still 30 seconds for a single attack. They play fast breaks in the first 20 seconds and play positional warfare in the last [-] seconds. This routine is completely feasible.

"Go to Brazil, go to Brazil!"

Before the players of the Bayi team came out, they chanted the slogan of going to "Brazil".

As long as they kill Northern Cement tonight, they will be able to represent Asia in the main match of the Global Club Championship in Brazil.

At that time, the NBA championship, including the major basketball teams in Europe and South America, will participate, and they can see the strength of the top basketball clubs in the world.

This kind of big scene, the players of the Bayi team feel excited when they think about it!

They are soldiers, and their greatest ideal is to win honor for the country. Now there is such a good opportunity for them to make military achievements.

Chapter 1: Have you seen this dunk?

"Filipinos are really crazy about basketball!"

Wu Jie used Ruda's first perspective to look at the Rupp Arena, which can accommodate 22000 people, and those fanatical Filipino fans. He can only sigh that the basketball atmosphere here is really good.

This kind of basketball atmosphere is incomparable even in China 40 years later. Otherwise, why would the men's basketball team face the same predicament as the national football team?

When the Bayi team first arrived in Manila, the whole team visited the capital city of the Philippines.

He also took a look at the time, and found that every [-] meters, there must be a court. Although these courts are very primitive, they are still full of people of all ages playing. This kind of national basketball atmosphere is even stronger than that of the United States. .

In addition, although the economy of the Philippines is not good, a lot of large indoor basketball courts have been built. This Rupp Arena, which can accommodate more than 2 people, is currently the largest indoor stadium in the Philippines.

Bayi players came to such a huge stadium, especially when faced with the boos and curses of [-] Filipino fans when they played, the psychological pressure was instantly full.

At present, domestic indoor stadiums can accommodate up to 6000 people, and there is not even a arena with a capacity of [-] people.

It was the first time for the players of the Bayi team to play in this kind of basketball hall that can accommodate more than 2 people, facing the shouts and boos of the Filipinos, especially the noisy language like ducks. , Not only can't they talk, those unpleasant noises are about to hurt their ears.

But this frenzied atmosphere is not without effect. The players of the Bayi team all felt their heart beat faster and their brains began to heat up.

However, Ruda was definitely not included in this feeling. This kind of scene was definitely a waste of time for him.

"Friends from the audience, today we are broadcasting the Asian Trials of the Men's Basketball World Club Championship. Now the players of the two teams have completed their entry, and the game will start soon. The starting lineup sent by the Chinese team today is: point guard Gong Lu Ming, shooting guard Kuang Lubin, small forward Guo Yonglin, second center Lu Da, and center Mu Tiezhu."

Song Shixiong focused on introducing Lu Da at this time!

"This time the Bayi team went out, the most eye-catching performance was Luda from Shandong. His performance against South Korea was unforgettable. In addition to the amazing statistics, he also invented in the game. An original slam dunk. We learned from him after the game that the highly difficult slam dunk action of catching the ball with both hands, spinning it in the air and then dunking it into the basket is called the 'windmill dunk'!"

Song Shixiong was talking about Luda's "Windmill Dunk" performed last time.

On the original plane, the first player to invent or use the "Windmill Dunk" in the NBA was Dominique Wilkins nicknamed "The Essence of Human Movies".

But this one entered the NBA in 1982, and he is still dominating the university.

At this time, someone may have made a similar move on the street court, but no one has ever staged a windmill dunk in an official high-level game.

There is no doubt that Ruda is the founder of "Windmill Dunk", which can be changed to "the creator" if it is more rigorous.

After the game, he also got a [Windmill Creator] badge, which can greatly increase the success rate of any windmill dunk after wearing it. Every time he completes a windmill dunk, he can also improve the morale of the team and speed up the physical recovery of the team!

Ruda is wearing this badge at this time, but today he has another task: continue to create new dunk moves.

This task was awarded by Wu Jie himself. Now it is 1981. Most of the future dunkers have not yet been born. Even in the NBA, there are only a few who can contribute wonderful dunks.

But in terms of dunk tricks, there are far less variety than 20 years later, and many technical moves have not been invented yet.

Ruda's current jumping, explosive power, staying in the air, and core strength have gone a step further after being upgraded to a four-and-a-half-star level, and he is fully capable of inventing those dunk moves that have not yet come out.

Wu Jie clicked on Lu Da's detailed information at this time, and his various statistics were one step ahead compared to a few months ago.

Barefoot height: 203cm, weight: 103kg↑, arm span 213cm↑, vertical jump 75cm, maximum bench press 100kg, athletic talent (★★★★☆).

"Comprehensive ability": 80↑

"Outside Points": 77↑

"Inside Score": 79↑

"Athletic ability": 76↑

"Organizational ability": 86↑

"Defensive Ability": 78↑

"Rebounding ability": 75↑

"Psychological Awareness": 96↑

This statistic still doesn't seem abnormal enough, but firstly, it hasn't been long for Ruda to upgrade his four-and-a-half-star athletic talent, and the increased talent hasn't been realized so quickly.

In addition, he is only 17 years and 3 months now, and James is not at his level at this age.

But the most important thing is that this data is based on 2020, not 1981.

Therefore, whether the comprehensive ability of Luda 80 rose or fell in 1981 is up to the beholder.

Now Lu Da's highest attributes are "organizational support" and "psychological awareness", because when Wu Jie used the dream training card for Chen Haonan last time, he also called Lu Da to train again.

At that time, Ruda fought hundreds of games against a group of top insiders in the 90s, and now his experience is no less than that of players who have played thousands of NBA games.

But his age is still 17 years old, not yet a fully developed baby.

Of course, it's the youngest, his [-]kg bench press performance has already reached the middle and lower levels of NBA players of this era.

Many fans actually don’t know the difficulty of the bench press. Jordan’s bench press exceeds 280 kilograms, and Chamberlain’s bench press exceeds [-] kilograms.

But these data can only deceive newcomers who have just started watching football. In fact, O'Neill's bench press at his peak did not exceed 160 kg, and Howard's bench press at his peak was only about [-] kg.

As long as the bench press of an inside player in the NBA exceeds 150 kg, he is definitely considered a fierce man, and a star with a bench press of more than 200 kg is definitely a historically strong man.

Ruda was able to push 17 kilograms in his early 100s. This statistic is absolutely abnormal. Among the rookies who have won the NFL, they are all at the historical level.

This achievement also gave Lu Da a pair of ravine abdominal muscles, and a pair of unicorn arms. However, the armor chest is still just showing, and it is still far from the big muscle. All these need to wait for the body to stop developing. Only then can it be practiced.

For the Northern Cement team, the starting center is Dari Patzic of Yugoslavia. His height is only 2.05 meters. This is because the PBA restricts the height of foreign players to no more than 205 cm. Otherwise, half of the Filipino players who are less than 1.8 meters tall will not be able to played.

Power forward Matthew Cook, a white soldier at the former US military base in the Philippines, was hired by the cement team just after retiring this year because of his good basketball skills. His height is 2.03 meters.

Small forward Gerd Wesig, this is a West German foreign aid, with a height of 1.96 meters.

Shooting guard Charles Short is also a foreign player who has played in the American Development League for several years. He is 1.94 meters tall and he is also white.

Finally, there is point guard Likima, the only Filipino in the starting lineup on the northern cement field, who is only 1.73 meters tall.

The coaching staff of the Chinese team watched his game and agreed that except for being a little nervous, he was far behind Gong Luming of similar height in other aspects.
