This is not so much a game as a party, a party for sports fans and star-chasing fans, but also a party for capital to cut leeks, and everyone gets what they need.
Xu Chuan felt that what he did was fair. Although the price of the tickets was indeed very high, and there was a lot of speculation from scalpers, the UC video platform was live broadcast simultaneously, so at least he did not cheat the poor.
As for those who really spend a month's salary to come to the scene, he can only say, "I have tried my best." It is not worth it for an exhibition match.
However, although this is an exhibition competition for cutting leeks, it does not mean that anyone can use their hands and feet to cut leeks if they want.
In the bathroom of the sports center, Xu Chuan was squatting in the cubicle listening to the conversation between two people outside.
"Brother Shen has already made an agreement with the other party. The home team has a 10.5-point handicap. The referees are all familiar and he has already taken care of it."
"Oh, that gambling company doesn't accept large bets. I invested 200,000, and then I also invested 200,000 using my wife's account."
"It's not bad. After all, UC Media also paid the appearance fee, and the game is easy to play and not difficult."
"You know, that guy named Xu is really rich. He promised that if the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team wins the championship, everyone will get a house. Why are all our sponsors so stingy?"
…
Xu Chuan was recording with his mobile phone. From the sound of the voices, they were two of those professional players. He held his chin and thought about when these two bastards would be able to go out. His legs were a little numb from squatting.
‘MD, it’s endless. Don’t you urinate frequently and urgently?’ Young Master Xu squatted there and complained in his mind. He had never experienced being blocked in the toilet.
Fortunately, this time did not last long, and the two people outside smoked a cigarette and went out.
Xu Chuan then rubbed his legs and stood up to flush the water. The reason why he didn't come out just now was not because he was afraid of disturbing others. He was not Lan Xiezhuxi or Uncle Jingcha, but he was occupying his plate and borrowing chickens to lay eggs. This was not good. It's not polite.
I should at least say hello and calling daddy is not too much.
I took my cell phone and listened to the recording just now. It was pretty good and clear.
I sent a message to the people at UC Technology and asked how the previous spinach app went.
This kind of investigation is actually quite troublesome. Based on some data, people from UC Technology found that there are five IPs that have maintained this APP, two are in China and the rest are abroad.
Let them keep trying and at least narrow it down to one area.
As for the two unlucky guys today, Xu Chuan felt that he should be able to save part of the appearance fee.
Humming the tune "I'm so happy today", Xu Chuan walked out of the bathroom. Zhou Hao, who had also arrived, was looking for him everywhere.
He just muted the ringtone in order to hide himself, so he didn't hear it.
"Brother, where have you been?" As the organizer, Zhou Hao was extremely busy. Of course, this was also because it was his first time hosting such an event and he had little experience.
"What's wrong with the big size?"
Zhou Hao was speechless, "You are the protagonist today. Lingdao from Blue Shoes is also here, so you have to meet him anyway."
Xu Chuan wanted to say that Blue Shoes was JB, but he weighed the phone in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go see who it is."
Spectators have already begun to enter the stadium. This central arena was just completed more than two years ago. It is one of the few NBA-level venues in China. It can accommodate 18,000 spectators and 60 luxurious VIP boxes. It is one of the few venues in China that can accommodate sports gatherings.
, a large comprehensive venue integrating performing arts activities.
The equipment is absolutely top-notch, and several people with blue shoes are standing on the sidelines giving interviews.
"We should hold more games like this. It will play a big role in the exchange of basketball culture..." When Xu Chuan walked over, a middle-aged man in a suit was talking to the camera.
"This is the banquet cooked by Vice Cao of Blue Shoes." Zhou Hao knew that Xu Chuan must not know who this person was, so he took the initiative to introduce it to him.
After seeing Xu Chuan, this person waved his hand and interrupted the interview to greet him, "Mr. Xu, hello, hello." He greeted Xu Chuan very warmly.
With a fake smile on his face, Xu Chuan stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand twice. "Being courteous to others must have a purpose." This was the first thought in his mind.
"The competition you organized is really good. It not only communicates with the world's top players but also develops the enthusiasm of the domestic football market. It's not easy." This person spoke very politely, making it hard for people to find fault.
I really praised UC Media and Xu Chuan from the inside out. If Master Xu hadn't been so thick-skinned, he would have been confused.
The smile on Xu Chuan's face became even brighter. After saying a few polite words to the other party, he looked at the people around him. Among them was Deputy Cao's assistant who was cooking the banquet. The other two were giants with a height of over two meters. At first glance,
Just for playing basketball.
One of them he still remembers was the host who interviewed him after the game in Houston and almost got into a fight. The other, slightly younger, was China's first NBA No. 1 pick and a Chinese player who had established a foothold in the NBA.
Xiao Ping.
Boss Xiao's height of over 2.20 meters makes Xu Chuan no different from Guo Xiaosi in front of him.
How did it grow? Young Master Xu was very puzzled. He had never been exposed to basketball players in his previous life, so his curiosity was quite serious.
"Brother, what do you usually eat? How many meals a day? Does your toilet have to be custom-made?..."
A series of irrelevant questions made this little giant who had seen the world feel very embarrassed. He must be too familiar with it.
In fact, he still doesn't know that Master Xu is not only familiar with himself, but also crazy.
Deputy Cao looked at the two of them with a smile, "Yes, you young people need to communicate more. China's basketball career depends on you."
Xu Chuanxin said, it's none of his business, why don't you pay me the venue fee first?
"Hey, Xiao!" Fran and several other NBA players, who were warming up and interacting with fans in the court, came over. Xiao Ping and the others all knew each other and had played against several of them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Ping greeted him with fluent English. Xu Chuan felt that this guy was deliberately avoiding his questions.
He was really curious about how big the toilet in Xiao Ping's house was.
Deputy Cao continued chatting with him, and seemed to want to ask if this kind of competition could continue. Xu Chuan said casually, even if he said no, there would still be a group of people trying it.
This is what UC Media is doing this time. Even if they continue to run it in the future, it won’t be like it is now. In fact, it’s a bit too hasty. If it weren’t for the eagerness to monetize the traffic Xu Chuan brought in Houston, they could have promoted it in the early stage.
Do a better job.
For example, cross-border sports stars and NBA stars can be introduced to interact, allowing those stars who want to participate in the game to compete for positions, and then undergo a period of training after being selected. After all, it is a competitive game, and the final focus is winning or losing.
In this process, fans' attention to celebrities can be gradually directed to the competition, and it can indeed achieve a certain degree of popularizing the sport of basketball, but it must be said that this effect is very limited.
Based on these, you can basically create a program directly. If the effect is good, it is likely to become an IP project and can be launched every year.
Xu Chuan was actually not optimistic about it, but Zhou Hao seemed very positive, and he definitely let him go if he couldn't lose money.
As several celebrities arrived, the fans in the stands began to scream. The screams reached their peak when Sheila entered the venue.
Very few first-tier stars from Europe and the United States come to China to perform. It’s really not a matter of external approval. UC Media got it done in less than a week without looking for connections. It was mainly because of financial interests.
The performance fees offered by these big-name stars are very high, and it is not just the star alone, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation of a team. Moreover, the prices these people offer to China are generally higher than those in Europe and the United States, as if they are all being taken advantage of here.
In addition, in China, these European and American celebrities are used as gimmicks, and when it comes to soliciting sponsorship, they may not be as effective as those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This makes no organization in China willing to host such activities, unless they are super first-line celebrities.
As for Xuela, to be honest, if it weren't for Xu Chuan, several people in China would know her.
This woman was hugging a female fan. The little girl was so excited that she almost cried, "I love you!"
This sentence made Sheila laugh, and then said in not very proficient Chinese, "I love you too."
This silly woman actually used the correct grammar!
Xu Chuan watched her walk from the player tunnel to the sidelines. The dress she was wearing that exposed her entire back had been changed. She was now wearing a black tank top and a pair of tight trousers, with long hair.
Drape it over your shoulders.
It is completely different from her usual sexy outfits, which can be said to be quite conservative.
The atmosphere at the scene was already very heated, and Xu Chuan decided to keep his distance from this woman today, even though he had just eaten her clean before.
If any pictures of this were taken, it would definitely cause countless troubles.
But of course Xue La would not do what he wanted. When she saw Xu Chuan, she abandoned her fans and ran over.
Xu Chuan used his eyes to stop her from rushing forward. Now the eyes of the camera and the audience were on this woman, and he didn't want to become the focus at all because of this incident.
Fortunately, Sheila just stood beside him, looking dignified.
"Are you okay? Did you eat something that you couldn't digest?"
Sheila blinked and put her fingers on her lips, "Don't you know what I ate before coming here?"
Xu Chuan raised the corner of his mouth, he was familiar with Xue La who looked like this.
"How's it going? I deliberately chose clothes that are not very revealing." Sheela felt that Chinese people are more conservative, so she chose the current look.
Xu Chuan smiled, this woman had a lot on her mind, "It's pretty good now, but I still like your previous style."
Xue La laughed happily, hugged Xu Chuan's arm and kissed him on the face.
Damn, I was careless. Xu Chuan's face froze, and when he raised his head, it was his image on the big screen. As expected, the audience let out huge laughter and whistles.
Xu Chuan was speechless looking at the flashlights and cameras around him, but he had better finish the matter in front of him first.
After that, there was the normal process, pre-game media interviews, and Vice President Cao’s opening speech, and then the lights in the venue dimmed.
Zhou Hao is very smart. Although he has no experience in organizing such events, he hired a professional team from the NBA to take charge of these tasks.
The whole process is no different from the NBA All-Star Game. The enthusiastic opening performance and the cool entrance ceremony make the fans and fans in this venue feel that the trip is worthwhile. The professional team is different. This is comparable to the CBA All-Star Game.
The game looks much better.
Several retired NBA players have huge fan groups in China. It is definitely a very exciting thing for them to see these people live this time.
Coupled with the fans of the selected star players, these people are actually even more irrational.
The two teams were divided into red and blue teams. Xu Chuan and Fran, as captains of the two teams, stood together and hugged each other. The exhibition match did not have the tit-for-tat feeling of a formal match.
The coaches on both sides are retired players from China, and the lineup consists of one NBA player plus two CBA players and two stars.
Fran, like Xu Chuan, was replaced within five minutes of playing. This kid was sloppy and looked like he hadn't slept well.
Xu Chuan smiled happily. It seemed that his money was not in vain.
What follows is the performance of these people. Everyone is trying their best to show off themselves, especially the celebrities who are on stage. They will not miss every opportunity to establish their personality. Fans love this.
In a game where professional players participate, if they don't show off, these ordinary people will have absolutely no room to perform. Amateur and professional are not the same game at all.
Therefore, when these stars hold the ball, there are basically no professional players to defend them, and they are faced with the same stars.
"Next time, we can cross the border and find a few people who play table tennis or track and field, but it's best to find those with a lot of fans." Xu Chuan sat in the audience and came up with an idea with Zhou Hao, shouting to the audience to let him play.
The sound was ignored.
The tickets were all sold out and the sponsorships from various brands had been collected. How much effort did he have to go up and run laps?
Now he only occasionally looks up to look at the score, and then takes out his mobile phone to look at the betting website's handicap.
There is no change in the odds. It should be that the bookmaker also knows that there is no suspense in this kind of game.
Xu Chuan looked at the two players he met in the toilet. They happened to be in two teams. He didn't know whether other professional players were involved or who Brother Shen was.
When it comes to refereeing, Xu Chuan tacitly agrees that he will be paid.
Young Master Xu was very angry about this matter, because he also paid the referee's appearance fee, and then these people used his money to work for others. How can this be tolerated?
It's just that the thing happened a bit suddenly. Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen to him even if he was a big boy? If those two bad guys could have said no in another place, wouldn't they be in such trouble?
He was not well-prepared, so it was impossible to dig out everyone, but it was still possible for those involved to lose their money.
MD is a bunch of lunatics, it’s just a celebrity game, why are you playing this for me?
