Darkwalker of the Sky World
Chapter 95
Zhou Zhen''s positioning is actually a little awkward. He has three Hollywood movies in his hand, so he can''t play TV again.
He is also not interested in acting on TV or in movies. It is not appropriate to be a supporting role. No one can trust his acting skills when he is the protagonist.
Moreover, at present, his film pay is more than 6 million yuan, which has not been tested by the market, and no one dares to use him.
Therefore, Xiaoliang studio has just made some publicity strategies and is not in a hurry to receive advertisements for Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen is still at home as his salted fish. Because he is famous, he doesn''t dare to go out now.
Before enjoying the vanity of the star, Zhou Zhen began to bear the burden of the star. Zhou Zhen felt very hurt.
His mother is very happy. His son has become a big star, and farmhouse has become an online red shop, full every day.
What''s more happy is that she had hidden dangers in her previous practice. The old injuries are gone this time. It seems that she is 20 years younger and the more she lives, the more energetic she is.
Zhou Zhen, who was very injured, couldn''t stay at home. Now she didn''t even dare to go out of the door. She couldn''t stand it at home all day.
His father spent a million to buy him a car and a leopard license plate. He opened it once and dared not even go out of the door.
There are more than one media reporter guarding his door all day.
Thinking of making movies in Hollywood and going to UFC, he decided to go to the United States.
On this trip to the United States, he set out with Zhou Tai and arrived in Los Angeles on December 16.
This time, Zhou Zhen didn''t want to stay in the hotel anymore. The day after arriving in Los Angeles, I found an intermediary company and rented a villa near Santa Monica Avenue on the north side of century city.
This villa is only one kilometer away from Beverly Hills. Because it is located in the urban area, not on the mountains, the rent is much cheaper, 120000 dollars a year.
Los Angeles is the most expensive city, and the house prices around Beverly Hills are even more amazing. The rent of 120000 US dollars a year is already cheap.
Those villas on the hillside rent hundreds of thousands a year.
This British country style villa has a small area of less than 200 square meters, but it has two floors and four bedrooms.
Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai, together with his new assistant Meng Lei, have places to live. When his parents come, they also have places to live.
His father didn''t come this time, but his mother followed. He and Meng Lei purchased a lot of bed and daily necessities, arranged Zhou Zhen, and went back to green island.
When she came to the United States, she was not used to it. She didn''t speak English. She didn''t have a friend. She was far from happy here on Green Island.
Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai are also busy these days. They bought a Cadillac without publicity or losing face.
Because there is no green card, they have to go through various procedures, including Zhou Zhen''s registration with the actors'' Union.
After settling Zhou Zhen down, Xu gui''e is ready to go home.
But before she left, Zhou Zhen invited Theron, Stallone and Batista to the house to cook the bottom of the pot.
Moving to a new home always requires a guest first. Zhou Zhen doesn''t know many friends in the United States. Except for a few people behind the scenes who hit it off, they are mainly some big stars.
Xu gui''e took out 18 kinds of martial arts and made a big meal, which made several big stars praise one after another.
She is not interested in Theron, but she likes Stallone very much. Seeing her holding Stallone''s neck and taking photos with a giggle, Zhou Zhen feels very ashamed.
However, several big stars dare not underestimate her, because she taught Zhou Zhen''s Kung Fu.
After drinking a little wine, his mother also performed, smashing the wood board with one punch and breaking the stake with one foot, so that everyone could see her like a human weapon.
With enough wine and food, Zhou Zhen also talked to Batista about his idea of joining UFC.
But Batista said, "with your strength, I don''t suggest you enter UFC and receive boxing training for a period of time. Only by entering the boxing world can you maximize your interests."
Zhou Zhen checked on the Internet that the highest income of UFC star boxers in a game is about $5 million.
But boxers are different. They can get up to hundreds of millions of dollars in a game.
Just this summer, Mayweather had a cross-border battle with UFC star Mike Gregor.
The cross-border war was held under the operation of the boxing circle, and Mayweather''s income was $300 million.
Mouth gun lost, but also got $100 million.
However, according to the news on the Internet, because the mouth gun belongs to the signing player of UFC, his $100 million can only get 20 million, no more than 30 million.
The remaining 80% were taken away by UFC.
Zhou Zhen wanted to consult Batista, an industry insider, because she didn''t understand the internal rules.
Batista pondered for a long time, then organized his language and said, "to find out this problem, I''ll start from the difference between the simplest Boxing Organization and Fighting Events..."
Stallone and Theron are also very interested, and Meng Lei is holding a small book to write it down.
Zhou Tai didn''t understand, but he was also very interested. Only Xu gui''e didn''t understand English at all and began to clean up the table.
"Boxing has four major organizations, and the fighting industry has events at all levels. The organization belongs to the industry organization, and the event belongs to the nature of the company.
MMA has developed for only a few decades, but boxing has developed for hundreds of years. In the 1990s, MMA organized the first UFC competition. Originally, it was only prepared to compete once, but it was retained because it was profitable.
UFC has become the highest level event of MMA. There are K1 and Kunlun Jue events in your Asia. In fact, they all belong to the talent supply place of UFC. "
Zhou Zhen nodded. In fact, he knew these things very well. What he didn''t know was the internal operation and sharing.
"Boxing has already become a large-scale industry. Countless athletes and promoters work in this industry. They don''t need promotion, they have countless audience base.
But UFC is not. They belong to a closed system or company. In order to promote this industry, they need to train talents and use their limited resources where they are most needed.
The main differences are reflected in five aspects. 1、 Boxing organizations ask boxers for money in each competition, but the competition organization should pay the players.
According to the logic of professional boxing, everyone spends money to watch the boxing championship, and most of the income of a competition is attributed to the boxing champion;
On the contrary, fighting events take care of organizing competitions and paying boxers appearance fees, so most of the income is taken away by the event party;
Therefore, compared with boxers, fighters are naked and exploited.
Of course, such exploitation is determined by the industry and belongs to industry rules.
The boxing champion and promoter are the boss, the boxing champion is the "wage earner", and the competition party is the boss.
That''s why I say boxing organizations collect money from promoters and fight events pay athletes. "
Zhou Zhen understood, Batista said: "second, boxing is small and fine, and fighting events are large and complex. As long as you can negotiate with your opponent and comply with the rules of Boxing Organization, you can organize an event at any time.
The income of professional boxing competition is to promoters and athletes. Boxing organizations such as WBA and WBC only charge about 10% of the certification fee and commission.
The promoters of professional boxing generally sign up for only a few star champions, and the competition frequency does not need to be too frequent.
Pacquiao plays four games a year, and Mayweather plays once or twice a year. But their income is unmatched by all athletes.
Unlike fighting events, they are similar to a huge promotion company. They hold competitions regularly at a stable frequency, called series or League, and need to sign a large number of athletes.
Taking UFC as an example, they signed about 400 boxers, each of whom played at least four times a year, that is, 1600 games.
In order to promote newcomers, most boxers lose money. The cost of holding so many events every year is amazing. So they won''t give everyone a lot of money. "
"The third difference: boxing is free trade in an open market, and fighting is a closed monopoly.
Boxing is a free market in the same system all over the world. Every promoter and Boxer can communicate, cooperate and trade with each other.
Different boxing organizations can also cooperate. The champion of WBA can fight with the champion of WBC. It also produced more valuable top star boxers with multiple organizational titles like Mayweather and Tyson.
On the contrary, fighting events are run by their own independent companies. Dozens or hundreds of boxers sign up for an event and fight their own, with their own rules and levels.
At each level, there are only those who have signed the contract. "
Batista took a sip of the coffee in front of him before he said: "the fourth difference: the world''s boxing champions are blooming everywhere, there are boxing champions in all countries, and each organization has different levels of boxing champions, but only UFC can be regarded as a top event.
This is because the volume and the size of the market are different. At present, before the market is cultivated, the income of fighting is not only inferior to boxing, but also taken away by the competition. "
"As for the fifth point, it''s my personal opinion. Boxing is consistent, the rules are simple, and it''s always centered on boxers. It''s easy to make stars.
However, there are several Kung Fu genres in fighting events. Most of the various events are separated from the original old events, focusing on events, so it is not easy to make stars than boxing. "
Zhou Zhen asked, "so, your suggestion is that I go directly to boxing instead of UFC?"
Batista nodded and said, "in boxing, find a good promoter, and you can keep at least 70% of your income. But if you enter UFC, you can get at most 20% of your income, 70% of $100 million and 20% of $10 million. Think about the difference."
Cylon said with some concern: "ZZ, your strength..."
Batista smiled and said: "Miss Theron, ZZ''s strength can definitely become a world-class boxer. Moreover, he is still an actor. With his fame and strong strength, he may become the next star at the level of Tyson and Mayweather.
Of course, you must find a reliable team and be able to package yourself. "
Zhou Zhen said with a smile, "Dave, my team may need someone like you."
He laughed. "Wait until I can''t make a movie. At this stage, I prefer to make a movie."
