"Are you serious?" Ma Cong was surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the world's most popular fantasy novel, selling more than 40 million copies in half a year. Everyone knows that such a popular novel will definitely make a lot of money if it is adapted into a movie.

Ma Cong also once fantasized about how good it would be if the adaptation rights were in his own hands. But he knew it was just a fantasy. Zhu Ziqing himself has a film and television company, so it is impossible to cheapen him.

Even if Zhu Ziqing wanted to find someone to cooperate in the development, it would not be their turn to develop it. It is said that Hollywood's slightly powerful film and television companies are frantically seeking adaptation rights.

Whether it is for the sake of shooting experience, distribution, peripheral development, etc., cooperating with Hollywood is the best choice.

It was precisely because he knew that such a good thing would not be his turn, so he was so surprised when he heard Zhu Ziqing's proposal.

"You think I'm joking. Zhu Ziqing answered with a question.

"Why?" Ma Cong didn't dare to agree easily.

The pie that fell from the sky was not that tasty. The average person probably doesn't think about it that much, but it's a good thing anyway. But as the richest man's family, although he wants to pick up this cheap, he wants to figure out the reason.

"A lone tree doesn't make a forest. "Zhu Ziqing didn't say that I wanted to form an alliance with you or anything like that, and the relationship between us was not good enough. But he believed that Ma Cong would definitely understand what he meant.

Establish a cooperative relationship first, communicate more, and gradually deepen understanding. Then decide what to do next.

"My father is in charge of the film and television company, and I can't be the master. But I'll talk to him about it as soon as I can, and see what he decides. It seems that Ma Cong understood what Zhu Ziqing meant, but he didn't dare to make a decision for his father on such a big matter.

Besides, there is also a political interest group behind the Ma family, which has both cooperation and competition with the Tao Lin family. The cooperation between Skynet Group and Dawan Group may also be mistaken for the cooperation of the two political groups behind it.

So whether you want to cooperate or not, whether you can cooperate or not, depends on the meaning of those big names.

"We are ready to start negotiations with Hollywood in June to find a suitable company to work with. If you want to join, make a decision quickly. Zhu Zi counted a sentence and didn't say much, he could think of Ma Cong's concerns.

"Tell me about the StarCraft game. I used to just hear you talk about it on the phone, and I didn't understand it very clearly. ”

"Why don't we go to the venue together, and I'll talk to you as we walk on the road. Ma Cong also changed the topic by the way. Zhu Ziqing naturally has no opinion on this.

So Ma Cong made a little arrangement and led Zhu Ziqing to the Pearl City Center Gymnasium.

“…… Initially, we planned to set up seven regions around the world, one for each continent. In practice, it was found that it was not scientific. ”

"Some continents have a low level of economy, the Internet is not widespread, and the level of players is not high. For example, in Africa, it is estimated that there are not as many players on one continent as Europe and the United States, so it is no problem to set up a separate competition area.

Some continents have developed economies, high computer penetration rates, and high levels of players. For example, Europe, the United States and Asia, the competition between these continents is too big and too fierce, which is unfair to players. ”

"So, in the end, we adjusted it according to the actual situation and set up a total of 12 regions. They are Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania, South America, North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Polar Bears, American Imperialism, Japan and South Korea, and our country. ”

"The top three teams from each region can participate in the World Finals, which means that there are now a total of 36 teams gathered in Pearl City......

"Japan and South Korea are a competition area, do they have no opinion?" Zhu Ziqing interrupted him and asked.

Especially in South Korea, this country is very developed in e-sports, and many e-sports champions are monopolized by them, a standard e-sports powerhouse.

There is no problem for such a country to set up a separate competition area, and now that Ma Cong actually divides it with Japan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no planes.

"What if they have an opinion, the World Finals are in our hands, we have the final say. Ma Cong said indifferently. Then he also sensed that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly explained:

"The main thing is that this is the first time we have held a competition like this, and we don't have much experience. I don't know much about the level of players in various countries, and I can't fully understand the real strength of a country or region by surveying alone, so I can only estimate it. ”

"After the finals, we will have an intuitive understanding of the strength level of each country, and after the competition, we will re-divide the divisions. ”

"Not only that, but we will also absorb the successful models of each sub-region and develop a competition standard based on the actual situation. In the future, the competitions held in each sub-division must follow this standard. ”

"This situation should be told to everyone in advance, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble, but also mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and sense of honor. Zhu Ziqing nodded and said.

Are you unhappy that your country doesn't have a separate division? As long as you can play new tricks, beat your opponents, and prove your country's strength, you can set up a separate division next season.

"Well, I'll have someone make an announcement later, and I'll make this matter clear to everyone. Ma Cong said.

"Is the division competition outsourced or do it yourself?" Zhu Ziqing continued to ask.

"The right to hold the division is handed over to the powerful group in the region, and we send people to supervise it. The domestic competition is held by ourselves. ”

With the popularity of StarCraft, it's easy to find someone to work with. What's more, he got the right to host all StarCraft events for three years.

One or two sessions may not be nothing, but in three years, it will definitely be able to cultivate a world-class esports competition. Once the industrial chain is formed, even if you replace "Interstellar" with other games, you can still make money.

Ma Cong wants this industrial chain, and the holding companies in those divisions want to be part of this industrial chain. Everyone takes what they need.

Of course, in order to obtain the right to host these three years, he also paid enough price.

As the two were talking, the car arrived at its destination.

The Pearl City Center Gymnasium, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time, has been held here for the Asian Games and the Olympic Games, and is the most famous stadium in Pearl City.

"It cost a lot of money to rent this place, right?" Zhu Ziqing asked, looking at the huge venue.

"How can it be rented, we only rented part of the indoor pavilion. Ma Cong said funny: "As for the outdoor venue, you can use it for free if you find a relationship." You get the idea. ”

Zhu Ziqing is also a member of the privileged class, how can he not understand this.

"Well, it's pretty lively here. Zhu Ziqing looked at the gate where people came and went and said.

"It's not that busy, most of the people here come to watch the game. There are also some residents around the area, who come to watch the excitement when they have nothing to do. Ma Cong explained.

"Yo, and foreigners. Zhu Ziqing felt as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and he felt that everything was novel. After all, it was the first time in my previous life to participate in such an event.

"Look at what you're saying, StarCraft is a big game in the world, and fans are all over the world. And this is the first officially authorized tournament to be held, and it is also the World Finals. A lot of fans don't want to miss this opportunity. Ma Cong said proudly.

He has a reason to be proud, and it is indeed rare to hold such a high-profile competition from scratch.

"Then you have to be careful, so many players are coming over and nothing happens. When the time comes, the impact will not be good. Zhu Ziqing's first thought was security.

Everyone came from thousands of miles to watch the game, and it would be bad if something happened. It is conceivable how the media will report at that time, and "StarCraft" will definitely be detained.

"We have been in contact with the city police and they will step up their patrols. Speaking of this, Ma Cong took a step closer and lowered his voice and said: "I also said hello to the local Jianghu people and asked them to keep a low profile during the competition. ”

Zhu Ziqing was speechless for a moment. The so-called Jianghu people are, to put it bluntly, gangsters and black and astringent. The Ma family is really the richest man in China, and they eat both black and white. And their methods of dealing with similar things are not comparable to 'nouveau riche' like Zhu Ziqing.

For example, this time, if Zhu Ziqing came to preside over this competition, he would only ask the official to come forward to maintain order, and he would never think of a way to ask the Jianghu people to help.

Don't look down on these Jianghu people, as the so-called snake has a snake road, and rats have a mouse road, and it is easier to find them for some things that the official has not handled well.

The two of them walked in as they spoke, and the further they went, the more people came. And foreigners can also be seen everywhere, as Ma Cong said, many foreign interstellar players have also come to watch the game.

In addition, Zhu Ziqing also saw a lot of people dressed in 'fancy clothes'. If you look closely, it turns out that it is cosplay interstellar.

Seeing that Zhu Ziqing was interested, Ma Cong said a few more words: "There are players who play cosplay, and there are also special cos groups. The fame of this competition has been spread, and many COS groups have come to join in the fun and attract popularity. ”

"Not bad. Zhu Ziqing was very calm on the surface, but he was actually excited in his heart. He made it all happen, and the sense of accomplishment was so strong.

Zhu Ziqing and his entourage were very conspicuous, and no one paid attention to them at first, but soon someone recognized them.

Ma Cong has a high exposure rate, and he is the organizer of this competition, so he is easily recognized. Then it didn't take long for Zhu Ziqing to be recognized.

It's good now, when the news of Zhu Ziqing's arrival spread, countless people surrounded him. This is Zhu Ziqing, the richest man in the world after the 90s, a great writer. Popularity does not belong to any star.

Many of the people present were his book fans and movie fans, and it was not easy to see his idol, how could he not be watching.
