Chapter 987 I Want the Great Sage

It costs money to recruit players.

Although you don't feel bad about spending money that is not your own, paying a transfer fee of 1.2 million euros all at once is not a simple matter.

After Gareth Bale and Luka Modric transferred to Real Madrid, they did have their own highlights and performances.

But football is round and anything is possible.

Modric and Bale may not be able to follow their original development path after transferring to Liverpool.

Therefore, after setting the real recruitment target on these two players, Xiangyang did not intend to simply rely on their competitive value to recover the cost.

It’s okay to provide a stage, fame and profit.

The premise is to do our best to tap their commercial value.

In terms of commercial value, Gareth Bale from Wales undoubtedly has more than Luka Modric, there is no doubt about that.

The reason for this is not only determined by the style of play, competitive level and position on the field.

Personal character also plays a key factor.

Modric, who was hailed as a midfield master after joining Real Madrid, has always been a low-key player. He pays much less attention to personal honors and social attention than Bale, who joined Real Madrid later than him.

Plus the disadvantage of Croatian nationality.

His commercial value in the global market is far less than that of other stars with similar game levels.

And Bell.
After finishing the first negotiation with Levi, in order not to waste precious time, Xiangyang simply asked the hotel to help prepare a small meeting room nearby.

As soon as he came up, he took the information from Bi Shaffer.

If your subordinates act on their own, they should be warned.

Seeing Xiangyang flipping through the documents seriously, Little John glanced at Edwards, then shrank his head and turned to the other side.

In this atmosphere, he didn't have the courage to rush forward.

"Edwards, I didn't realize that you put a lot of effort into facilitating this transfer." After patiently reviewing the information again, Xiangyang handed it to Little John.

"Boss, I"

As soon as Edwards opened his mouth, Xiangyang raised his hand to signal him to shut up.

Little John, holding the document in his hand, blinked in surprise. This matter really had nothing to do with him. He was at most...
"Xiang, please listen to my explanation."

"There is nothing to explain. After you read these materials carefully, please write me a feasibility report." Xiang Yang said calmly. After checking the time on his watch, he continued:
"I want to see it before you go to China."

What is Gareth Bale's most famous nickname in China?
Because of his appearance and amazing explosive power, his fans call him "The Great Sage".

According to Xiang Yang's memory, a few years later, China produced an animated film that was regarded as the pinnacle of Chinese animation. It was a 3D animated film called "The Return of the Great Sage" that expanded and interpreted the content of the traditional Chinese mythological story "Journey to the West".

Once it was released, it was a huge success.

Now that transfer negotiations with Levy have begun, the matter of seeking maximum benefits cannot be delayed.

It’s true that “The Return of the Great Sage” was released in 2015.

But the thing about movies is that it doesn’t mean that just because it was filmed last year, it can be released this year.

Especially for cartoons, which lack stars, topics, and are financially strapped for a team that wants to incubate a project, it is even more impossible to know the specific time when it will start preparing for filming.

However, from an investment perspective, the sooner you become an investor, the better, provided you have no shortage of funds.

Because only in this way can we get the biggest return from the future revenue of this IP. The revenue sharing of the movie box office is only one of them.

Game licensing, new media video licensing, overseas revenue sharing, etc. all have considerable benefits.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiangyang wants to arrange Gareth Bale's transfer to Liverpool.

When he joins Liverpool, the club will automatically acquire his image rights.

Having an international football superstar promote the 3D animation of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", a representative work of the rise of Chinese animation, will be beneficial to both the Chinese animation film industry and the film itself.

Xiang Yang has no intention of portraying Gareth Bale as the 'Monkey King'.

The Monkey King has a special meaning in China.

But his looks do lend themselves to this film.

In the future, Chinese films going abroad will no longer be limited to martial arts and action films. Why can't animated films go overseas?
You know what, but the film that broke the record for the number of Chinese-language films in France was actually an animated film.

An animated film called "Deep Sea" broke the record for Chinese-language films in France in just three weeks.

As you can imagine, new breakthroughs are not difficult to achieve.

Hermes Film Investment Company has increased its investment in Hollywood animated films.

In China, this market cannot be ignored.

The box office of animated films is actually the most considerable.

Because it is like a family movie, it has the business logic of getting the whole family to go to the cinema, which has more potential to be tapped than some so-called movies starring top traffic stars + directors.

"Also, Xia Fu, you keep an eye on this matter." Feeling that his warning was not strong enough, Xiang Yang turned around and glanced at his assistant.

Bi Shaffer nodded decisively, "Don't worry, Boss, you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Xiang, isn't your idea a bit too fantastical?" Little John, who didn't escape the disaster, said bitterly, "Look, the Zootopia project you and Mr. Lafayette are working on hasn't even started yet, and now you're going to add another animation project."

Noticing his friend's frown, Little John paused and continued, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you that animated movies are different from live-action movies after all."

"That's why I asked you to contact the Huaxia production team." Xiang Yang nodded and said, "But you have to pay attention, I'm not asking you to arrange for the people from the "Zootopia" project to direct this film at will. You should contact Mr. Wang and others first to see how far the project in Huaxia has progressed, and then we can communicate again."

Animated movies and live-action movies are, of course, different.

There is a big difference between Chinese animated films and Hollywood animated films.

It won't work if we let foreigners tell the story of the Monkey King.
Xiang Yang stopped complaining in time and turned to look at Edwards who dared not speak. "My request to you is to buy Bale and Modric for 1.2 million euros. As for their treatment, you can refer to Gerrard. But remember, it's only 1.2 million euros."

1.2 million euros?
Packing for two?

In the first round of negotiations just now, Edwards, who had already experienced how difficult Levi, a guy who only cared about money and not people, was, smiled bitterly.

Daniel Levy's offer was 1.4 million euros plus a series of additional clauses.

The difference of 2000 million might not be difficult for someone else.

But Tottenham Hotspur's reputation, like that of European black shops Porto and Benfica, is by no means false.

"Boss, I"

"Okay, no more nonsense. You have three months to complete this task."

Without giving his new subordinate room to speak as usual, Xiang Yang interrupted him and said, "In June, I hope to see the two clubs reach an official announcement. And..."
