The First Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Nine Chapters "the 1st Generation Master" Publicity Meeting

Next, to the most competitive European region.

Before the host could speak, David Stell raised a sign and said, "No need to waste time. I paid 40 billion to buy the rights to broadcast the World Cup in Europe."

"Mr. Stell, you're really impatient. But 40 billion is obviously a bit less, 45 billion is about the same. I'll pay 45 billion."

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

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

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

Zhao Wanqing said: "Husband, I don't think you need to spend such a large 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 go to the distance? ."

Zhao Wanqing had read the script of "Prison Break" and admired it very much. If it weren't for a pure American TV series, I'm afraid she would have wanted to play a role in it.

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

Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of person are you, can I not know? Comfort you, I am not that leisurely."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Then I really don't know whether to be happy or sad. Forget it, the price is almost 50 billion now, we don't have that much money, let them fight. I now find that the TV seems to It's more profitable than a movie."

"48 billion"

"49 billion"

......

In the end, the right to broadcast the European World Cup was won by the Manhattan consortium at a price of 52.6 billion US dollars.

As a result, the entire World Cup broadcast rights have been sold for more than 150 billion yuan, more than double the number four years ago. FIFA is simply too profitable.

After the auction, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing left in a hurry without attending the banquet.

They need to fly back to China as soon as possible.

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

Arriving in Yanjing, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing did not even return home, they came to the promotion meeting of "The Grandmaster".

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

When the host learned that Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing were in person, he said happily: "I have good news to tell everyone. Queen Yun Huangqing, the two leading actors of our "Grandmaster", finally came from the United States. Let us use the most enthusiastic applause to welcome them."

The scene immediately burst into applause, and more than 200 fans shouted the names of Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing frantically. The reporters were also waiting with cameras and cameras.

Soon, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing held hands and appeared in front of everyone with a smile on their faces.

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.

On the stage, Xiao Yunhai hugged Huang Qiusheng and others.

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

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

Huang Qiusheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just come over."

Xiao Yunhai nodded without saying anything.

The host said: "Okay, fellow reporters, do you have any questions to ask?"

"Mr. Xiao, I heard that "The Grandmaster" will be released abroad, and it was also attacked by two 3D blockbusters from Paramount. I wonder what you think about it?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Paramount and I are old friends, and we often snip at each other. I don't know it. But to this day, no matter what movie, I have never lost. This "The Grandmaster" is even more unbelievable. There will be exceptions."

"To be honest, I was originally reluctant to bring it to Europe and the United States, because the things in this film are too esoteric, and I am worried that fans in Europe and the United States will not understand. But now I find that my previous worries are completely unfounded. , more than 400 movie fans after watching "The Grandmaster", 80% gave a score of 8.5 or more, and they strongly demanded that the movie be released in European and American theaters, which gave me considerable confidence. Paramount used two films The strong attack of the movie shows that they have no certainty of winning. It is impossible to win our "The Grandmaster"."

"Mr. Xiao, which actor do you think performed the best in the movie "The Grandmaster"? I'm talking about 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 they have completely met my expectations. If I were to choose an actor who performed the best, then I would Choose my family leader."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanqing frowned slightly, and lightly touched Xiao Yunhai's arm.

Huang Qiusheng next to him saw Zhao Wanqing's little actions, and he laughed: "Wanqing, you don't have to take care of us. Whether it's literary or martial arts, your performance on the set is the best, even Yunhai 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 pinnacle of a performance. Anyway, I am convinced."

Zhao Wanqing hurriedly said: "Mr. Huang, Brother Deng, you are too much, I don't dare to be."

When the reporters heard their words, they wrote them down in their notebooks.

"Miss Zhao, it seems that everyone appreciates your performance very much. Where 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, and after just 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 to work at home. It took half a year of hard training before I graduated. I have to say that shooting kung fu movies was really hard, but fortunately we got through it."''

"Mr. Xiao, how much do you think "The Grandmaster" can achieve at the box office?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'm talking about eight billion dollars abroad."

If other directors said 8 billion dollars, I am afraid everyone would criticize him for being outrageous, but from Xiao Yunhai, who created the myth of 22 billion box office, no one felt anything wrong, as if this was the case. normal.

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

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

Xiao Yunhai invited everyone to a five-star hotel for dinner and thanked all the creative staff.

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

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said: "That's right. I invited a lot of 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? Teacher Huang, what's the matter with you? ?"

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

Huang Qiusheng has a very bad relationship with his daughter. At the beginning, in order to make money from filming, Huang Qiusheng was not at home every day and rarely communicated with his daughter.

Later, his wife had a car accident and was admitted to the hospital. It happened that he was filming in Hengdian at that time. When he rushed to the hospital, his wife had died, which made Huang Qiusheng regret for the rest of his life, and his daughter was very dissatisfied with him. I have been studying abroad for four years, and I have never come back, and I have never made a phone call.

A few days ago, he suddenly received a call from his daughter, saying that he had graduated and wanted to go back to Xiangjiang for development. At the end, he called him Dad, making Huang Qiusheng tearful on the spot.

In front of everyone, weeping and weeping.
