Zhou Zhen's positioning is actually a little embarrassing, he now has three Hollywood film contracts in his hand, and it is impossible to act on TV again.

He is also not interested in acting in TV or movies, it is not suitable to be a supporting role, and no one can trust his acting skills when he is the protagonist.

What's more, according to the current salary, his salary is more than 6 million yuan, which has not been tested by the market, and no one dares to use him.

Therefore, Xiaoliang Studio only made some publicity strategies, and did not rush to give Zhou Zhen advertisements or anything.

Zhou Zhen is still his salted fish at home, and because he is famous, he doesn't dare to go out casually now.

Before enjoying the vanity of a star, he began to bear the burden of a star, and Zhou Zhen felt very hurt.

His mother is very happy, her son has become a big star, and the farmhouse has become an Internet celebrity store, which is full every day.

What's even happier is the hidden danger of her previous practice, all the old injuries are gone this time, she seems to be twenty years younger, and the more she lives, the more energetic she becomes.

Zhou Zhen, who was very injured, couldn't stay at home, and now he didn't even dare to go out, and he couldn't stand it at home all day long.

His father bought him a car for a million and put a leopard license plate, and he opened it once, and he didn't even dare to go out.

The door of his house is guarded by media reporters all day and night, and there is more than one.

Thinking that he wanted to make a movie in Hollywood and develop in the UFC, he decided to go to the United States.

This trip to the United States, he took Zhou Tai with him and arrived in Los Angeles on December 16.

This time, Zhou Zhen didn't want to stay in a hotel anymore. The day after I arrived in Los Angeles, I found an agency and rented a villa on the north side of Century City, near Santa Monica Avenue.

This villa is only a kilometer from Beverly Hills, and because it is located in the city, not on the mountain, the rent is much cheaper, at $120,000 a year.

Los Angeles is the most expensive city, and the prices around Beverly Hills are even more staggering, with $120,000 a year being cheap.

Those villas on the hillside are rented for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

This English country-style villa is small in size, less than 200 square meters, but has two floors and four bedrooms.

Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai, plus his new assistant Meng Lei, have a place to live, and his parents also have a place to live.

His father didn't come this time, his mother followed, and Meng Lei and Meng Lei purchased a lot of beds and daily necessities, arranged Zhou Zhen, and went back to Green Island.

She was not used to coming to the United States, she did not know English, she did not have a single friend, and she was far from being as happy as she had on Green Island.

Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai have also been busy these days, they bought a Cadillac, and they are not publicistic or lose face.

Because they don't have a green card, they still have to go through various procedures, including Zhou Zhen's registration with the actors' union.

After settling Zhou Zhen down, Xu Gui'e prepared to go home.

But before she left, Zhou Zhen invited Theron, Stallone, and Battista to the house to burn the bottom of the pot.

When moving to a new house, you always have to invite a guest first, and Zhou Zhen doesn't know many friends in the United States, except for a few behind-the-scenes people who fall in love, mainly a few of them are big stars.

Xu Gui'e took out eighteen kinds of martial arts and made a sumptuous meal, which made several big stars praise one after another.

She is not very interested in Theron, but she likes Stallone very much, and Zhou Zhen feels extremely embarrassed to see her holding Stallone's neck and smirking and taking pictures.

However, several big stars dare not underestimate her, because Zhou Zhen's kung fu is taught by her.

After a little drink, she put on a show, smashing the planks with one punch and breaking the stake with one kick, so that everyone looked at her as if she had seen a humanoid weapon.

After a full meal, Zhou Zhen also talked to Battista about his idea of joining the UFC.

But Batista said: "With your strength, I don't recommend that you go to the UFC, get boxing training for a while, and enter the boxing world to maximize the benefits." ”

Zhou Zhen checked on the Internet that the UFC's star-level fighters have a maximum income of about five million dollars in a fight.

But boxers are different, they can get hundreds of millions of dollars in a fight.

Just this summer, Mayweather and UFC star Cannon McGregor had a crossover fight.

This crossover fight was held under the operation of the boxing ring, and for this match, Mayweather earned $300 million.

The mouth cannon lost, but he also got 100 million dollars.

However, according to the news on the Internet, because the mouth cannon belongs to the UFC contracted fighters, he can only get 20 million of his 100 million US dollars, not more than 30 million.

The remaining 80 percent was taken by the UFC.

Zhou Zhen just didn't understand the internal rules, so he wanted to consult Batista, an industry insider.

Batista pondered for a while before he organized his own words and said, "To figure this out, I'll start with the simplest difference between boxing organization and fighting events......"

Stallone and Theron were also very interested, and Meng Lei was holding a small notebook, ready to write it down.

Zhou Tai didn't understand much, but he was also very interested, only Xu Gui'e didn't understand English at all, and began to clean up the table.

"There are four major organizations in boxing, and there are events at all levels in the martial arts industry. The organization is an industry organization, and the event is a company.

MMA has only been around for decades, but boxing has been around for hundreds of years. In the nineties, MMA organized its first UFC tournament, which was originally only prepared to fight once, but because it was profitable, it was retained.

The UFC has become the highest level of MMA events, and there are also K1 events in your Asia, and events like Kunlun Duel are actually part of the UFC's talent supply. ”

Zhou Zhen nodded, he actually knew a lot about these, but what he didn't understand was the internal operation and sharing.

"Boxing has already become a large industry, and countless athletes and promoters have mixed rice in this industry. They don't need to be promoted, they have a myriad of audience bases.

But the UFC is not, they belong to a closed system, or rather a company, and in order to promote the industry, they need to develop talent and use limited resources where they are needed most.

The main differences are reflected in five aspects. First, the boxing organization has to ask the boxers to collect money for each competition, but the event organization has to pay the players.

According to the logic of professional boxing, everyone spends money to watch a boxing king match, and most of the income from a game is attributed to the boxing champion;

Fighting events are the opposite, because the event takes great pains to organize the competition and gives the fighters an appearance fee, so most of the income is taken by the event party;

So, compared to boxers, fighters are naked exploited.

Of course, this exploitation is determined by the industry and falls under the rules of the industry.

The boxing champion and promoter of the boxing match are the boss, the boxing champion of the fight match is the "wage earner", and the event party is the boss.

That's why I say that boxing organizations take money from promoters, and fight events pay athletes. ”

Zhou Zhen expressed his understanding, and Batista said: "The second point is that boxing matches are small and fine, and fighting matches are big and complicated. In a boxing match, as long as you can negotiate with your opponent and meet the rules of the boxing organization, you can organize an event at any time.

The income from professional boxing tournaments is given to promoters and athletes, and other boxing organizations only charge about 10% of the certification fee.

Professional boxing promoters generally only sign a few celebrity boxing champions, and the frequency of matches does not need to be too frequent.

Pacquiao doesn't play too many games a year, and Mayweather only plays once or twice a year. But their income is unmatched by all athletes.

Fighting events, on the other hand, are similar to a super-large promotion company, holding regular tournaments at a steady frequency, called series or leagues, and requiring a large number of athletes to be signed.

In the UFC, for example, they sign up about 400 fighters, each of whom fights at least four times a year, which is 1,600 fights.

In order to promote newcomers, most fighters lose money, and the cost of holding so many events every year is staggering. So they won't give a lot of money to everyone. ”

"The third difference: boxing is free trade with an open market, while fighting is a closed monopoly.

Boxing is a free market where the whole world is in the same system, and every promoter and fighter can communicate and cooperate with each other.

Different boxing organizations can also cooperate, and the WBA champion can have a unified fight with the WBC champion. It has also produced more valuable top-tier star boxing champions like Mayweather and Tyson, who hold multiple organizational titles.

On the contrary, fighting events are all run by independent companies, and each event contracts dozens or hundreds of fighters to fight their own, each with its own rules and its own level.

In each level, only the few people who signed up were in the civil war. ”

Batista took a sip of the coffee in front of him before he said: "The fourth difference: the world boxing champions are blooming everywhere, every country has a boxing champion, and every organization has a boxing champion of different levels, but only the UFC is the top event in fighting.

This is because the size of the market is different, and at present, before the market is cultivated, the revenue of fighting is not only not as good as boxing, but also takes more than half of the event. ”

"As for the fifth point, it is my personal opinion, boxing is always consistent, the rules are simple, always boxers are the core, and it is easy to make stars.

However, there are several types of kung fu in fighting events, and most of the various events are separated from the original old events, and they are mainly events, so it is not as easy to make stars as boxing. ”

Zhou Zhen asked: "So, your suggestion is that I go directly to boxing instead of going to the UFC?" ”

Batista nodded and said: "In boxing, find a good promoter, and you can keep at least seventy percent of your income." But if you go to the UFC, you can get up to 20% of your income, 70% of 100 million dollars, 20% of 10 million dollars, you think about it, what a difference. ”

Theron said with some concern: "ZZ, your strength ......"

Battista smiled and said, "Miss Theron, ZZ's strength can definitely become a world-class fighter. And he is still an actor now, the fame of the actor, coupled with his strong strength, he has the possibility of becoming the next star of Tyson and Mayweather.

Of course, you have to find a reliable team that can wrap itself. ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Dave, my team may need a person like you. ”

He laughed. "Let's talk about it when I can't make movies, at this stage, I still prefer to make movies."
