Chapter 780: A Bad Move (Ask for Subscription)
Egawa, Feiyang Stadium.
As a standard football stadium funded by Feiyang Group, it was also the home of the famous Chinese Super League team Jiangchuan Feiyang.
That's right!
Feiyang Group once had a team in the Chinese Super League, although the results generally did not win the championship, but the big bear still spent a lot of money to build a home stadium. According to the cost of the project at that time, this was much more luxurious than buying foreign aid international players.
But that's all in the past.
Feiyang Group played football in the Chinese Super League, and it was less than five years in total, and soon Da Xiong always thought it was a waste of money and sold the club to another Jiangchuan owner.
But the stadium has always been called this name, and the owner who took over the club only changed the name of the team, not the name of the stadium.
Under the matchmaking of Mr. Xiong, Wanbao Group successfully leased the court for half a month in the off-season to host the finals of the "National Competition" of the Wanbao Cup Tennis Open.
Why should you choose this place?
In fact, it stands to reason that it is more suitable to choose a standard tennis court, and the venue is cheap for a small rent.
But it can't be ......
Who let Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jiangchuan City break into the finals of this competition?
Among the more than 30 strong schools in the country, the final finalists were Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and Jingcheng Foreign Chinese Middle School from North China.
Egawa No. 1 Middle School is not only a home game, but it has won the support of the vast majority of Egawa citizens, and they are also the school where the main character Ryoma is located in the anime "The Prince of Tennis", so they are very popular.
Affected by this, the final of this national competition attracted a lot of attention, with at least 50,000 spectators coming to the scene, and the average tennis stadium really can't accommodate so many people.
So I chose Feiyang Stadium.
To this end, Manbo spent a week renovating the course, including replacing the turf and moving the spectator seats forward.
This game also has a high level of attention on the Internet, as Gu Miao said, the broadcast of the animation "Prince of Tennis" has made many people regard Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School as the "home team".
Therefore, many people are looking forward to seeing the picture of Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, under the leadership of Shen Chao, defeating strong opponents and winning the cup.
But it's a pity......
The middle school outside the capital does not emphasize martial arts, and actually uses foreign aid, not only is the singles strength stronger, but the doubles also crushed Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School.
Shen Chao, who had the heart of winning the championship, didn't even have time to play, and the game ended with a score of 3:1.
"It's a pity, it's a pity
After the game, when Gu Miao, who was the guest of honor, presented awards to the two teams, he looked at Shen Chao, who had gloomy eyes and lowered his head and did not speak, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Let's fight again next year!"
As the representative of the organizer, Gu Miao definitely couldn't say anything biased, he could only pat Shen Chao on the shoulder and encourage him not to be discouraged.
The runner-up is actually very good.
At this time last year, who would have thought that the team that was regarded as the bottom of the fish belly would finally win the East China championship and the runner-up in the national competition?
Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has come to this point, which is really beyond the expectations of many people, and it can be said that it ...... The real Egawa No. 1 Middle School is no weaker than the Egawa No. 1 Middle School in the animation "The Prince of Tennis".
There is no way, the chess is one move.
After all, the hard power is not as good as others, and even the most proud doubles are not opponents outside the capital, and the score is 3:1 without shaving the head, which is already very competitive.
The days are still long......
Shen Chao is only in the second year of junior high school in September this year, and he will be stronger next year than this year, and next year's Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School will be stronger than this year.
As for saying that, this year could have created a miracle, a miracle that won the championship earlier than Egawa No. 1 Middle School in the anime "The Prince of Tennis".
But if you think about it, isn't the reason why a miracle is a miracle because the probability of occurrence is extremely low?
In the animation, Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, with Zhong Guoguang, Zhou Zhu, Ryoma and Haitang and other talented players, won the championship first than the mediocre Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in reality, isn't this inevitable?
This final has attracted a lot of attention.
After the game, netizens also discussed this final for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that the most talked-about thing about this final is not the process of the competition, but the world premiere of the stage musical "The Lion King" arranged by Wanbao before the game.
Someone moved the pre-game performance video to the Internet, and then the foreigners were so excited that they asked where they could watch the stage musical of "The Lion King"?
“I don't know!”
"Broadway? Please! I want to see this wonderful show on Broadway! ”
"The show was fantastic! It's hard to believe that this is the opening performance of a tennis tournament......"
Strange concerns have appeared!
After the final, there was little discussion about the winning team, but the "Lion King" stage play performed before the game was very popular, which many people did not expect.
What's even more surprising is that on Broadway in New York, he really sent someone to contact Wanbao and invited Thomas and the troupe he formed to go to Broadway for the "Lion King" stage musical.
It's not just North America.
Thomas told Gu Miao after the competition that he had received invitations from many theaters around the world.
"Then do a world tour!"
Gu Miao pondered: "Since there are so many people who like the stage play "The Lion King", then you can take people out on tour to earn a little more fame and ticket money." ”
"If you can't keep busy, then you can find a way to license the stage play of 'The Lion King' to other theater companies for rehearsals and performances......"
Thomas had no objection.
The "Lion King" stage musical is so popular, so it doesn't matter if you have a world tour, the first stop is to go to Broadway.
It's just that he has a question, that is, the "The Lion King" movie has not yet been released, and he is now performing all over the world, will it affect the box office of the movie?
This is crucial!
The plot of the stage version of "The Lion King" is roughly the same as the movie version of "The Lion King", after all, the two are the same door.
The movie is still being screened around the world, and he ran out to tour the stage play, will he grab a part of the audience who planned to go to the movie?
"Don't worry!"
"How many people can enjoy watching a stage play? In contrast, what is the audience for watching movies? Gu Miao explained with a smile, "Don't worry about going on tour boldly, it's okay, it won't affect the box office of the movie." ”
The two are not at all in conflict.
Even from another point of view, stage musicals are very popular, and maybe they can bring some new audiences to the movie.
As for the statement of "grabbing the audience", it is proper nonsense.
The audience of the movie is so wide, even if there are a few fewer audiences, how much less box office can it be? In the face of a huge market of billions of dollars, who cares about the box office provided by a few viewers or hundreds of viewers?
Isn't it okay to watch a stage play after watching a movie, and then go to a movie after watching a stage play?
