Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Huge Contract

Seeing Meng Lei's somewhat uncomfortable expression, Zhou Zhen couldn't help laughing. "Sister Meng, what do you think is the most promising industry in the 21st century?"

Meng Lei already knew that Zhou Zhen wanted to go to biology, so she said without hesitation: "Health industry." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, "If I say that I already have some health secrets and have a research direction, how do you understand it?" ”

Meng Lei was not surprised and said: "You said that I don't believe it if you don't have it!" Your parents are in such good health, Sister Xu is fifty years old, and her figure is better than mine, who should I reason with? There is also Yue Jun, who is getting more and more beautiful, which makes people envious to death. ”

Meng Lei can be said to be Zhou Zhen's closest person at present, she can see this, Zhou Zhen is not surprised, she can still hold back and not say it, this is what Zhou Zhen likes most about her.

At this time, Huo Ya walked to the door of the house and shouted to Zhou Zhen in the courtyard: "zz, come on, waiting for your meeting!" ”

Zhou Zhen walked side by side with him into the house. "I need to use an absolute talent to conquer everyone, the IQ test is only one aspect, and after a few months, I still want to be admitted to Peking University with an unparalleled high score.

However, I will not study at Peking University all the time, I will study by myself and set up a laboratory. There has to be an excuse for all this, do you understand when I say that? ”

Meng Lei asked: "Why do you think that you will definitely have a high score in the IQ test, and you can get a high score in the college entrance examination?" Also, the Department of Cell Biology of Peking University is the strongest in the country, what should I do if I can't get in? You want to dispel the world's doubts about you, but it's too risky. ”

"No, I'm confident enough." Zhou Zhen smiled and shook his head, Meng Lei couldn't understand how good a humanoid computer was.

He turned to Hoya, who had come down the steps. "Oscar, I think our plans need to change."

He shook his eyes and gave Zhou Zhen a hug. "We've got plenty of time to talk about it, don't we?"

Zhou Zhen laughed and patted him on the back. "Of course."

In the living room, there was also a lawyer and a few assistants, and when they saw Zhou Zhen coming in, they stood up with a smile and said hello.

After a while, Zhou Zhen sat down and said with a smile: "Looking at everyone's expressions, it seems that there is good news?" ”

Hoya nodded with a smile and said, "Whether it's TI, Sky Sports, or streaming DAZN, they're all interested in your contract.

However, since your debut time is still short after all, the contract offered to you by both parties is not large. But this is not big, and it is only relative.

In fact, the lowest Sky Sports company also offered contracts of $10 million per game. Your status in Hollywood has a great effect on your worth. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a table that listed three on-demand TV stations, and an online live broadcast platform gave a contract reference price comparison table.

Zhou Zhen swept his eyes, and he had already compared the standard differences of several companies.

HBOs have the longest contract period of five years, but they also have the most requirements, such as maintaining a minimum win rate of 80% except for at least two events per year.

At least one movie a year, at the same time, but also in a class of magazines and but too many appearances.

They want to borrow Zhou Zhen's fame to create a star, and if Zhou Zhen wants to develop in the long run, their contract is very suitable.

And they are also more generous, with a minimum appearance fee of 2 million, and a 50% increase in wins after each game, and a 20% increase in defeats.

However, in the first two years, Zhou Zhen only had an appearance fee, no advertising, sponsors, and ticket sharing.

On the side of the on-demand fee, they give the market price, and at the beginning, Zhou Zhen can get 30%, and the highest can get 60%.

According to the market in the United States, PPV on-demand is generally 90 US dollars, and if there is 1 million on-demand, it is 90 million US dollars.

Thirty percent is 27 million, and 60 percent is 54 million.

On the TV station's side, there is basically only no more than 20% of the revenue, and the remaining part depends on who Zhou Zhen's opponent is, and then negotiate an 80% share.

Like Mayweather, the reason why a game can get more than 200 million dollars is because his game with the mouth cannon has attracted more than 4 million subscriptions, and the revenue from TV on demand has reached more than 400 million dollars.

Coupled with hundreds of millions of tickets, advertising fees, and sponsorship fees, the total revenue of one of their games reached nearly 600 million.

In boxing, most of the proceeds are made by the fighters.

The terms of the other two are similar to HBO, the appearance fee is basically from the ticket, Zhou Zhen is a newcomer, and he doesn't know how to appeal yet, so he doesn't dare to give too much at once.

And dazn is different from them, they belong to the monthly subscription, and they mainly sell members.

For $99 a month, you can watch DAZN live throughout the year.

The contracts they give to fighters are also fixed, and they are much higher than TV platforms.

Zhou Zhen was given a five-year, ten-game contract, with a total amount of nearly $400 million.

In other words, no matter what kind of game Zhou Zhen plays, as long as he plays ten weighty games in five years, he can get $400 million.

Moreover, they did not only sign Zhou Zhen alone, they also signed a ten-game contract with Alvarez under the name of Hoya, with a total amount of $38.5 billion, which is only slightly less than Zhou Zhen.

In addition to these ten competitions, the boxers under the name of the Golden Boy Company hold ten "fight nights" every year, that is, dozens of fighters' exhibition matches.

These exhibition matches will be broadcast on DAZN's platform, and Zhou Zhen and Alvarez will have to participate in more than five games.

This is also the only condition.

Zhou Zhen quickly calculated which kind of signing was in his best interests, and of course, signing with DAZN was the least risky.

Although he may earn more money by signing a contract with a TV station, Zhou Zhen is a newcomer after all.

He needs a stable financial income now, and if the market appeal is not strong and the number of people who subscribe to his game is small, the income is far less than signing with DAZN.

Although HBO is also very sincere and wants to make him a star of tomorrow, he can't take any risks now.

Moreover, he won't be in the boxing world for too long......

Zhou Zhen returned the form to Huo Ya and asked, "This should only be a condition for initial contact, is there any room for improvement?" ”

Huo Yaleng paused for a moment and looked at the dense page of A4 paper. "You see it all?"

Zhou Zhen said: "DAZN wants to enter the sports industry and impact traditional TV stations, and their sincerity is good. However, Sur (Alvarez) can get 38.5 billion, and I think my 400 million is a little less. ”

Hoya said: "So, in the game half a month later, the ratings are very important, which can also be a bargaining chip in the final negotiation." ”

Zhou Zhen nodded. "I understand what you mean, and I will cooperate with the publicity. However, in the final negotiations, I need to be involved in person. ”

"No problem." Hoya asked, "Are you sure to negotiate with DAZN on this basis?" ”

"Yes. Let's take place on December 16. Zhou Zhen said again: "You should have a recording studio in Los Angeles, right?" ”

The lawyer, Howard, smiled: "I know this well, I am mainly a lawyer representing copyright and endorsement, and I know at least a dozen recording studios in Los Angeles." ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Then please help me contact a company with good technology and equipment tomorrow, I want to record two song samples and accompaniments." ”

"It's a trifle."

Zhou Zhen said: "If it's really as good as you say, I may record two more albums." ”

"Two? Album? ”

Huo Ya came to the spirit and said: "If you can develop in the music industry, you don't need a top level, you just need to be qualified, and it will also greatly promote your fame." ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "No, if I want to play, I have to do my best." ”

Before coming to the United States, Zhou Zhen passed the scores of two songs to Blueberry Channel, and they did a good sample of a Chinese-style song, but the other international-style one, perhaps because it was made with music software, the song couldn't show the gods at all

What the international style needs is a kind of grandeur, in the grandeur of church music, there is also the evil charm of Gothic style, but Zhou Zhen is not satisfied with the small sample at all.

So he decided to make it himself and then record it, and only by hearing the real version could they arrange a high-level accompaniment according to the style of the song.

After making an appointment to go to Las Vegas together tomorrow, Hoya and the others said goodbye and left.

Back in the house, Meng Lei screamed excitedly. "We are developed."

She swooped down on the contract text that Hoya had left behind and picked up the form. "Four hundred million dollars in five years, ten games, equal to 40 million dollars in one game!"

Zhou Zhen smiled: "There are also at least 200,000 of yours." ”

40 million US dollars, 30% of Hoya's, and then even if the company avoids taxes, Zhou Zhen has to pay at least about 25%.

Zhou Zhenneng has a net income of 20 million, and Meng Lei, as his assistant, manages all the chores, and has an income of one percent, which is almost 200,000.

And that's just the earnings of one game, and on the whole, it's not a dream for her to make a million dollars a year.

After being excited for a while, she reacted and asked, "When did you learn to write songs?" And wrote two songs that were so good? ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Do you think it's a waste for me to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a guitar?" I'll have more! ”

Zhou Tai, who had been silent, suddenly said: "If you don't remember when I went to the beach with you when I was a child, and my butt was broken by a fishing net, I would have thought that you were caught by an old monster." ”

Zhou Zhen laughed and said, "I'm an old monster, and I'm still your brother." Sister Meng, you prepare dinner in the evening, and I will go to work overtime and write out the stave of the two songs and the instrumental accompaniment score. Xiaotai, you will stay in Los Angeles tomorrow, hurry up and finish the airplane flying course for me. ”

Zhou Zhen has no problem flying the plane now, with biological computer assistance, he will definitely not make any mistakes.

Now, all he has to do is planes......
