"Ha~!"

In Fox's screening room, Ye Maozhong yawned carefully.

The ten-minute rough cut made him feel completely incomprehensible.

Except for the big ship that is said to be a one-to-one restoration, many of the pictures are still the original version, and the messy editing makes it impossible to see any plot.

If he hadn't known it in advance, he would never have believed that this was a movie that cost 160 million to make.

is the company's spokesperson, Xiao Lizi, who looks very handsome in the camera.

looked at Chu Qing who was chatting with media tycoon Murdoch in the front row.

Ye Maozhong still hasn't figured out how the boss would find such a little white face as a spokesperson in the first place.

At present, in addition to being handsome, it can be said that there are not many other advantages.

As for spending another 60 million to invest in such a movie.

In Ye Maozhong's opinion, Boss Chu would not be so generous.

If it weren't for the love of Murdoch, the media tycoon, it is estimated that he would have left directly after the first screening, where would he have suffered here for so long.

Subconsciously glanced at the watch, this is the third time it has been screened.

Thinking that the boss should have made an excuse to leave, he looked at Murdoch in front of him.

It is estimated that even if you don't invest in big ships, there should be no problem for Fox TV Network to broadcast the backgammon game carnival.

Ye Maozhong's visit to the United States this time was to prepare for the backgammon game carnival twenty days later.

Ever since Chu Qing decided to hold a game carnival, he has attached great importance to this event.

Not only did we transfer a lot of people from China, but we also sent invitations to global partners.

Because it was the first session, the time was also relatively rushed, and the preparation time left for them was less than a month.

In order not to make the event too deserted.

This competition, in addition to accepting applications from the outside world, will also allow partners around the world to nominate a team of 5 people.

Of course, the reason why Ye Maozhong felt that Chu Qing attached great importance to this event was also derived from the funds for this event.

After all, in this era, it is very rare to be able to spend 15 million dollars at once to do such a large-scale competition.

When Nintendo held the World Championship, it only invested $5 million.

And the reason why backgammon spends twice as much as Nintendo's this time is that the bulk of it is basically on bonuses.

After all, it really doesn't cost much to hold the competition itself.

Even if you count the reception expenses of all the contestants, it is less than three million.

Plus the broadcast fee negotiated with Fox today is one million.

If it's full, less than five million can be very grand.

The total prize money for this competition is as high as 10 million.

In addition to the 3 million prize money of the overall champion, this event basically guarantees that every participant who reaches the final will have a harvest.

Of course, this amount of money, even if it is placed in other traditional sports events, can be regarded as a very high amount.

This time the two games and.

It will be the first to conduct offline competitions in 12 regions around the world.

A total of 48 people were selected and then gathered in San Francisco, USA, for the first carnival group stage.

The top eight finishers from the two games, a total of 16 players, will host their grand finale at the United Center arena in Chicago.

It's the home stadium of the NbA Chicago Bulls.

Jordan led his team in June of this year, where they won this year's NbA championship.

When the time comes, there will be a full broadcast of the Fox television network.

With this popularity, Ye Maozhong believes that even people who don't watch e-sports competitions will pay more attention to it when they hear this news.

Of course, that's not all.

In Chu Qing's words, the reason why he was willing to spend so much money to hold such a competition.

It's not to learn from Nintendo and make a one-shot deal.

Since the heat has quarreled, the bonus has also been released.

Wouldn't it be in vain if there was no other follow-up?

The reason why the contestants can get such a high prize money is completely Chu Qing's preparation for the follow-up league.

Only the continuous popularity can make these two games of backgammon get more people's attention.

Of course, Xbox, as an exclusive platform, also needs to sell more products to maximize the harvest.

"Lao Ye, let's go."

Just when Ye Maozhong was thinking about the follow-up league and how to do it in the long run, Chu Qing in the front row greeted him, which immediately brought him back to his senses.

It turned out that at some point, the screening was over, and Murdoch was the first to leave the screening room because of a phone call.

"Boss, how is it, make it clear."

Ye Maozhong sorted out his clothes that were a little wrinkled because he had been sitting for a long time, and asked in Chinese in a low voice.

"Well, that's clear."

"Fortunately, I'm still worried that if we don't throw into the big boat, Murdoch will hold on and make a fuss about the broadcast."

Seeing Chu Qing's relaxed face, Ye Maozhong was also a lot relieved.

"There is no conflict between broadcasting and investing in films. Murdoch is not such a presumptuous person. But I still voted for the big ship. ”

"Ah~ You voted?"

Chu Qing's answer was very relaxed, giving Ye Maozhong some illusions.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were too close, he really suspected that he had misheard.

"Well, I invested 65 million, 25% of the movie and peripheral income, plus 50% of the dVd copyright and all the network copyright."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, he asked Ye Maozhong with a smile.

"Didn't you think this movie was funny?"

“……”

Ye Maozhong subconsciously glanced at the screen that had been restored to black, as well as the copy of the movie that had been carefully removed from the back.

After reading it carefully from beginning to end, he really didn't think there was any meaning in such a foggy thing.

"Don't worry, although the truck driver is a bit maverick, he still has nothing to say about his storytelling skills."

Gently patting Ye Maozhong, who was already completely sluggish, Chu Qing gave an explanation that was not an explanation, and took the lead in walking out.

After all, no one knows better than him that there are few love movies that can tell the big boat, a love movie dressed in the skin of a disaster movie, so touching.

You must know that when the big ship was released, it captured the hearts of many women around the world.

Of course, not to mention his global box office of 1.814 billion US dollars, and occupied the world's box office for 14 years, no one has surpassed the horror record.

No matter how much you count this investment, you will not lose money.

Of course, Chu Qing also won 50% of the dVd copyright and the Internet copyright of the big ship.

Even if he didn't care about the others, he could make Chu Qing earn a lot of money on this one.

You must know that after the release of the big ship, in addition to the global box office revenue, the most profitable thing is the dVd disc revenue.

According to statistics, more than 100 million dVds were sold that year.

If the price of a single disc is $30, then 100 million copies is equivalent to $3 billion in revenue, which is the most profitable compared to box office revenue.

And with Nefi in hand, Chu Qing believes that as long as he is willing, he can earn more.

Later generations have a complete statistic. The total revenue of the big ship, together with the surrounding and various other rights, is as high as 7 billion US dollars.

is one of the most profitable films in the world.

So no matter what way you look at it, investing $60 million in a big ship is a deal that only makes money for him.
