Chapter 24: The Predecessor of the Super Bowl

As time goes by early January 1966, in the past week, "007: Thunderbolt" became the second-place box office for US$19.34 million, with the highest single-day box office of US$3.8 million.

MGM's "Doctor Zhivago" box office reached 31 million US dollars, which was high, and the box office champion was the only one-day box office that could be compared with him.

The competition between the two on the box office list has become a joke in the Hollywood Times. "The fight between the Wolf King and the Lion King is a group of little wolves and little lions."

In addition to MGM and United States, only Columbia and small film companies have only small art films from Columbia and small film companies.

The box office of "007: Thunderbolt Bullet" and "Doctor Zhivago" have made other films competing for Oscar PR in December lose their luster.

Such a phenomenon of failure in the box office of literature is very normal in the film industry. There are very few art films with successful box office, and only major film awards can bring honor to them.

"It's just an aging lion."

Watching MGM's Doctor Zhivago top the North American box office championship and beat the Hollywood Times newspaper "007's Thunderbolt", Terry Semer was a little unhappy, but his own movie was not squeezed and did not do anything extra. Instead, he picked up the phone and called Herac, who was far away in the eastern New England region of North America, Boston, Massachusetts.

There is no news about the film and television adaptation rights of "Planet of the Apes". Herac and Sterling Ford have the task assigned to him. Naturally, they and Kim Jan-fu left HSD and came to Massachusetts.

When he received a call from Terry Semer in the Ramada Hotel in Boston, Herac was looking through the information about the football team that was conveyed by email from Letu.

The above are the information of the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL) and the status of each team.

While looking through the information, Herac listened to Terry Semer's report on the recent trends of the United States.

"The wolf is here, their description is quite appropriate."

When Herak heard the Hollywood Times' comments on him and United Film Company, he couldn't help but joke.

A hissing laughter reached Terry Semer's ears through the phone, but his face was cautious: "What they said is really good, but you are not the chairman, you are the only one who is restless in the company."

Herac curled his smile and knew that the Hollywood Times talked about were all capitalists who entered Hollywood, and Terry Semer was talking about another thing. He turned the next page and looked at the 1966 calendar on the table, and said, "You have planned a person who is going to be kicked out. When I come back, I will start to fire those restless people."

Terry Semer agreed with Herac's decision when he heard that he was determined. "I will inform you." After that, he hung up the phone.

Doudu…

Listening to the sound of hanging up in his ears, Herac then put all his energy into the information.

Rugby and American football are one of the favorite sports of the American people. After years of development, the two leagues of the National Football League (NFL) and American Football League (AFL) appeared. Sterlingford is one of the fans. When they have nothing to do, they often turn on the TV to watch various team games broadcast on the sports channel.

The football matches played by the two major leagues with a history of more than 50 years have long been loved by some North American audiences.

Although Herac does not understand football games, it does not mean that he does not know that the two leagues are the predecessors of the Super Bowl. This is a grand event that is sought after by the whole United States, and the value of benefits generated in it is extraordinary.

Commercial advertising and broadcast rights alone can bring a lot of benefits, especially after Forbes statistics in the original time and space, the value generated is more than 800 million US dollars.

It is precisely the value of interest that will be generated after the merger that Herak's idea of ​​joining the two alliances was supported by Sterlingford, which was able to get $60 million before for Herak to rescue and acquire Marvel.

Information sent from Letu shows that the founders of the two leagues intend to merge the two together at the end of 1966 to form a Super Bowl, but both have their own teams, and it will cost a lot of money and manpower to merge them together.

In order to successfully participate, Herac and Jin Jianfu spent a lot of time and energy to learn about the affairs of the two alliances, and met with the founders of the two major alliances.

After reading the information about the National Football League and the American Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL), Herac pondered for a while and then became calculating in his heart.

Picking up the phone, Herak called his father in New York, Sterlingford's office, and as the "feed" sounded, he said: Father, the two things I mentioned require the help of the group of people in New Jersey.

Listening to the help of the people there, Sterlingford was silent for a while, and then asked nervously: You are sure.

Yes.

Herac replied with certainty, and then said with nostalgia: And I really want to meet my cousin, after all, we rarely meet.

Hearing Herak's brisk tone, Sterlingford's nervous mood finally relaxed. I will contact the people over there and wait for me to reply! After that, he hung up the phone.

Herak put down the phone and thought of the people in New Jersey, his mind was turbulent, and his face became slightly heavier.

Click...

The sound of the door opening made Herac restrain his heavy expression and look at Jin Jianfu who came in.

The two have been in Boston, Massachusetts for a while. When Herak was browsing information at the Ramada Hotel, Jin Jianfu and the Letu team who came here were surveying the local and nearby areas, which was to prepare for what happened later.

Chairman, Mr. Billy Sullivan, is here.

The news brought by Jin Jianfu made Herac feel a little better.

Since Billy Sullivan is here, Herak thought of the founders of the National Football League (NFL) and American Football League (AFL), and asked quickly: What's the matter with those two people.

Jin Jianfu shook his head. There was no movement for the time being.

Herak was a little disappointed. It seemed that it was not that easy to simply participate in the merger of the two alliances. It seemed that he could only use the trick he had just decided.

He got up and put the information down, and left the Ramada Hotel with Jin Jianfu.

Before meeting with the founders of the National Football League and the American Football League, Herak decided to increase his leverage, and the Boston Patriots was his primary goal.
