But there is nothing surprising. As traditional strong teams, Germany and Italy are already strong. Italy would not have been reduced to a "dark horse" if it had not been for the Calciopoli.

On the contrary, although Portugal is a golden generation, it is still second-rate in the eyes of many people. Considering that Cao Xuan and Ronaldo have a notoriously good relationship, it is normal for them to accidentally hit each other.

It doesn't matter even if four of them are pressed correctly. This is not the case in the past. Octopus Paul was pressed correctly for an entire World Cup, and still no one sliced ​​him.

So if Cao Xuanquan answered correctly, no one would doubt that he was reborn. Instead, they would think that with Cao Xuan's status, he might have some insider information...

In addition to the World Cup finals, Cao Xuan also has several tasks in Europe this time, the most important of which is shooting a new commercial with BMW.

It is worth mentioning that the heroine who partners with him this time is German supermodel Heidi Klum, known as the most beautiful woman in Germany, but Cao Xuan is really not particularly good-looking.

On the contrary, it is another German beauty, Diane Kruger. Cao Xuan thinks she is pretty good-looking sometimes.

However, there are indeed many beauties in Germany, and he only knows three of them. In addition, there are also beauties in other European countries. The media and management teams like to hype this up. Every country has several beauties.

[The most beautiful woman in Europe] even broke the brainstorming. The British support the British, the Germans support the Germans, the French side with the French, and the most outrageous thing is that some Americans are recommended.

But if you think about it carefully, isn’t Europe the same as the United States? There is no problem with the logic...

In the domestic entertainment circle, Taiwan Province also likes to hype the most beautiful woman, and Xiangjiang also has a similar title. On the contrary, in the Mainland, it seems that there is no so-called recognized most beautiful woman.

This is also normal. If you dare to claim to be number one, you are not just a target to be targeted by fans from all walks of life. Therefore, the classic routine of domestic entertainment is [Premium]. It does not say that you are number one, but it just suppresses you.

In comparison, male artists are relatively uniform.

European and American media and most Asian and domestic media have a man recognized as the most handsome man in Asia.

Cao Xuan: I’m ashamed, it’s me (akimbo)

In addition to watching football and advertising, Cao Xuan also has several endorsement negotiations in Europe this time. He has no choice but to earn money for milk powder for his children.

As an emerging top star in the world, with the potential to enter Europe and the United States, and backed by the Asian market, Cao Xuan's commercial value has always been favored by major companies.

However, Cao Xuan's endorsements are difficult to grab. Currently, except for one Septwolf who has become a shareholder, he only has four endorsements.

Samsung Electronics, PepsiCo, BMW and Mobile's M-Zone!

Except for M-Zone, which focuses on the domestic market and has a special nature of endorsement, the other three are global endorsements with extremely high endorsement fees.

Samsung’s contract is US$55 million over five years, and BMW’s and Samsung’s contracts are similar. Of course, if some stringent requirements are not met, some income will be reduced.

Pepsi-Cola is betting against each other. It all depends on Cao Xuan’s annual increase in Pepsi-Cola. It can be high or low. On average, the annual revenue will be no less than 10 million US dollars.

Especially this year, Cao Xuan's new album "Legend" became a hit, and his fame and status increased, which also benefited PepsiCo a lot. According to the contract, Cao Xuan's Pepsi advertising revenue will increase a lot this year.

Under these precedents, an ordinary contract would not be able to impress Cao Xuan. He is not a world-class company and would not even have the idea to start one.

World-class large companies have many rules and regulations, and ordinary companies cannot afford to hire them. Cao Xuan is not short of money, and he cannot lower his worth, so he waits slowly.

For artists of their level, signing endorsement deals is a bit like selling antiques. If you don't open for three years, you will only be able to wait for three years if you open.

Of course, there are also some people who don’t care about feathers. They don’t care about meat and vegetables. They are willing to pay for any money and at any price. That’s a different matter...

After Samsung and BMW, Cao Xuan's team also contacted some endorsement invitations, but for various reasons, they were not signed in the end.

Until this year, Cao Xuan's new album once again gained popularity around the world and became even more popular than before. He became a popular top star and attracted countless people's attention.

Under such a premise, many problems that originally hindered cooperation disappeared, and many large companies began to contact Cao Xuan.

Currently, several famous watch brands are competing fiercely, and they plan to recruit Cao Xuan, the most popular man in Asia, to increase their brand influence.

In addition to luxury watches, Germany's Siemens, Swiss food company Nestlé, and an American securities + banking + insurance company all bid above the psychological price of Cao Xuan's team, and they were quite sincere.

Especially the American company, which had the highest bid of US$25 million per year, wanted to sign a 3+1 contract, which is a total of US$100 million.

But Cao Xuan didn't even think about it and passed the endorsement directly.

Not to mention that he had no intention of engaging in these insurance, financial and securities endorsements. The key point is that the endorsement fees have exceeded the market price, and Cao Xuan is a little wary.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Cao Xuan, who had dealt with Americans many times, knew very well the urinal nature of these capitalists.

If you don't pick up money when you go out, you will lose money. If a mosquito flies in front of you, you will catch a drop of blood. If a dung truck passes by the door, you will have to taste the saltiness with two spoons.

This group of people bid higher than the market price, and there was nothing wrong with it. They wrote the Chinese character [Cao] backwards.

The American company Pass mainly contacts Siemens and Nestlé. Among them, Nestlé wants to exclude beverages. After all, Cao Xuan also endorses Pepsi-Cola.

But whether coffee counts as a drink, we have to talk slowly.

Moreover, Nestlé does not just sell coffee. It is a large food company with many food brands. How it will be endorsed depends on the outcome of the negotiation.

Siemens is the same. Whether it endorses a certain electronics category or the entire brand, there are different opinions and different prices.

It is normal for a contract worth tens of millions of dollars to be negotiated for a year or two. The previous Samsung contract was negotiated for several years.

Of course, in order to share as much profit as possible from Cao Xuan's current huge popularity, several companies still prefer to win it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be wasted.

Cao Xuan showed off in Europe just to meet with several responsible persons, to show his cooperative attitude and to inject confidence into subsequent negotiations.

In early July, Cao Xuan returned to the capital with a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and barely managed to get some money for milk powder for his children.

………

Just after returning, Cao Xuan had to run for money for his children's clothes again. "Crazy Stone" was released, and Cao Xuan came out with several free stars to support it.

When the big boss came in person, Ning Hao, who was already a little nervous, couldn't restrain his emotions. Even if the air conditioning was turned on in the theater, he couldn't stop wiping his sweat.

Cao Xuan looked at the young and young Huayuwen No. 1 brother in front of him and couldn't help but shook his head.

"Haozi, don't be nervous, the movie is pretty good, show some confidence."

Ning Hao nodded and did not dare to reply. However, Huang Bo, who had collaborated with Cao Xuan many times and was the most familiar with Cao Xuan among the main creators present, took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere.

"Boss, how much do you think the box office can be?"

As soon as these words came out, several of the main creators looked at Cao Xuan with expectation.

Today's "Crazy Stone" crew is not the grass-stage crew of the original time and space.

The director hired actors and actresses to trick and deceive, and the distribution was under the banner of Liu Tianwang. He begged grandparents and sued grandma everywhere. In the early stage of publicity, he largely relied on the media and the audience. When the momentum picked up, China Film Group increased its efforts.

Compared with the original time and space, although the investment in today's "Crazy Stone" is still not high and the cost is small, the resources behind it are completely different.

Fanxing and China Cinema Line have given extremely good film schedules, especially Fanxing, with more than 40% of the premiere film schedules.

In terms of publicity, since there are no famous stars, the main thing is to stick to the Stars Movie brand.

Not only did "Crazy Stone" be designated as the first summer movie of this year's Star Movies, but it was also billed as the most surprising black comedy of the year. Before the movie was released, Ning Hao was dubbed "Ghost Director" by Fan Galaxy Media

.

At the same time, Fanxing has a strict and thorough copy protection plan to prevent the spread of piracy to a large extent. The box office of several previous Fanxing movies has been so high, which is partly related to Fanxing's strong emphasis on preventing theft.

In the original space and time, the box office of "Crazy Stone" ended at more than 20 million, which has a lot to do with the proliferation of piracy, otherwise the results would be higher.

After several actions, the current momentum of "Crazy Stone" compared to the original time and space, can be said to be in the sky and on the earth.

Coupled with the good box office performance of Star Movies in the past, it naturally aroused the expectations of Ning Hao and other main creators. In the original time and space, it is estimated that few would dare to expect high box office.

"Probably 30 to 50 million."

Cao Xuan gave a rough estimate. After all, this is a small-budget comedy movie without stars. Even with a lot of help, Cao Xuan thinks the chance of a big hit is small.

But even so, it was enough to surprise Ning Hao and others. They had never dared to estimate so much before.

30 million is nothing to Cao Xuan. His name alone is worth so much at the box office, but this does not mean that the box office is low.

"Ride Alone" and "If Love", which ranked 14th and 15th on the mainland box office list last year, only had a box office of 30 million.

Although these two films are literary films, one is directed by Lao Mouzi, and the other is produced by Zhou Gongzi + Jin Chengwu. The lineup is even better than "Crazy Stone".

Not to mention that in Cao Xuan’s estimate, 30 million is just a guarantee.

Although Cao Xuan is not a god, his prediction may not be accurate, but compared to Ning Hao and the others, he is already the authority, and everyone instinctively believes in this statement.

Ning Hao couldn't help but giggle, and Huang Bo patted him on the shoulder and joked happily.

"Director Ning is so awesome, he will be a great director in the future. Don't forget, you promised to find me to play the male lead later."

Ning Hao pretended to be stupid: "Let's talk over wine."

Huang Bo became anxious and went up to hold Ning Hao's neck: "Your uncle, you tricked me into being stuck in your house every day."

The others didn't take it seriously, and were cheering and cheering beside them. The bald Xu Zheng beside him was also among them, and he couldn't hide his envy and was thoughtful at the same time.

In fact, he had long wanted to join Fanxing and hang out with Cao Daguan, but there had never been any good opportunities.

Cao Xuan and his wife had known each other quite early, and it was difficult to say how familiar they were. Moreover, as Cao Xuan's status became higher and higher, the status gap between the two parties became wider and wider, and they could not get along at all.

Therefore, the little incense that was made at the beginning became more and more precious, and Xu Zheng and his wife were not willing to use it easily.

But this time, Xu Zheng could see that Cao Xuan valued Ning Hao. He also realized that Ning Hao was quite talented when they cooperated before.

Adding the two together, Xu Zheng, who has the shrewd characteristics of the people in the magic city, feels that he will get closer to Ning Hao and Huang Bo more in the future.

Not only Xu Zheng, but also the smart people present had similar thoughts. After they watched the premiere of "Crazy Stone", this thought became stronger.

Cao Xuan's vision is amazing. No wonder he is known as the number one talent in the entertainment industry. Where did he find such a treasure, a well-known director?
