Darkwalker of the Sky World

Zhou Zhen’s positioning is actually a bit awkward. He now has three Hollywood film appointments in his hand, and it is impossible to 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 as the protagonist.

What's more, his salary is currently more than six million yuan. It has not been tested by the market, and no one dares to use him.

Therefore, Xiaoliang's studio just made some publicity strategies here, and was not in a hurry to receive ads for Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen is still his salted fish at home, and because he is famous, he dare not go out casually now.

Zhou Zhen felt very hurt when he began to bear the burden of a star without enjoying the vanity of a star.

His mother was very happy, her son became a big star, and the farmhouse became an internet celebrity shop, which was full every day.

What's more happier is that the hidden dangers of her previous exercises are gone. This time, all the old injuries are gone. She seems to be twenty years younger, and the more she lives, the more energetic.

Zhou Zhen, who was very injured, couldn't stay at home, and now she didn't even dare to leave the door, and she couldn't stand it all day long.

His dad bought him a car for a million, and he also got a Leopard license plate. He drove it once, and he didn't even dare to get out the door.

At the door of his house, there are journalists guarding him all day long, and there is more than one.

Thinking of making movies in Hollywood and developing into UFC, he decided to go to the United States.

This time to the United States, he set off with Zhou Tai and arrived in Los Angeles on December 16.

This time, Zhou Zhen didn't want to stay in the hotel anymore. On the second day after arriving in Los Angeles, I found an intermediary company and rented a villa on the north side of Century City, near Santa Monica Avenue.

This villa is only one kilometer away from Beverly Hills. Because it is located in the city, not on the hill, the rent is much cheaper, at US$120,000 a year.

Los Angeles is the city with the most expensive housing prices, and the housing prices around Beverly Hills are even more amazing. The rent of $120,000 a year is already cheap.

The villas on the hillside often rent for hundreds of thousands a year.

This English country-style villa is small, less than two hundred square meters, but has two floors and four bedrooms.

Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai, together with his new assistant Meng Lei, both have a place to live, and his parents will also have a place to live when they come.

His father didn't come this time, his mother followed, and Meng Lei and the two bought a lot of bed and daily necessities, arranged Zhou Zhen, and went back to Ludao.

She is not used to it when she comes to the United States, does not know English, does not have a friend, here is far from the happy life she had in Green Island.

Zhou Zhen and Zhou Tai are also busy these few days. They bought a Cadillac without showing up or losing face.

Because they don't have a green card, they have to go through various procedures, including Zhou Zhen's registration with the actors' union.

After Zhou Zhen settled down, Xu Guie was about to go home.

But before she left, Zhou Zhen invited Theron, Stallone, and Battista to the home to sing the pot.

When you move to a new house, you always have to invite guests. Zhou Zhen doesn't know many friends in the United States, except for a few behind-the-scenes people who fell in love with him, mainly their celebrities.

Xu Guie took out eighteen martial arts and cooked a sumptuous meal, which made several celebrities admire one after another.

She was not very interested in Theron, but liked Stallone very much. Zhou Zhen felt extremely embarrassed to see her smirking and taking pictures with her arms around Stallone's neck.

However, several big stars did not dare to look down upon her, because Zhou Zhen's kung fu was all taught by her.

After drinking a little wine, his mother also slammed into it, smashing the plank with one punch and breaking the stake with one foot, making everyone look at her like a humanoid weapon.

After drinking and eating, Zhou Zhen also talked to Batista about his desire to join the UFC.

But Batista said: "With your strength, I don't recommend that you enter the UFC, receive boxing training for a period of time, and enter the boxing world to maximize your benefits."

Zhou Zhen has checked on the Internet, UFC star boxer, the highest income of a game is about 5 million US dollars.

But boxers are different. They can get hundreds of millions of dollars in a match.

Just this summer, Mayweather and UFC star McGregor had a cross-border battle.

This cross-border battle was held under the operation of the boxing ring, and Mayweather's income was 300 million U.S. dollars in this game.

Mouthpiece lost, but also got 100 million U.S. dollars.

However, according to online information, because the mouthpiece belongs to a UFC contract player, his 100 million US dollars can only get 20 million, not more than 30 million.

The remaining 80% was taken away by the UFC.

Zhou Zhen didn't understand internal rules, so she wanted to consult Batista, an industry insider.

Batista pondered for a while before organizing his own language and saying: "To clarify this problem, I will start with the simplest boxing organization and the difference between fighting events..."

Stallone and Theron were also very interested, and Meng Lei even took a small notebook and prepared to write it down.

Zhou Tai didn't understand much, but he was also very interested. Only Xu Guie didn't understand English at all and started to tidy up the table.

"Boxing has four major organizations, and the fighting industry has competitions at all levels. The organization is an industry organization, and the competition is a company.

The development of MMA is only a few decades, but the development of boxing has been hundreds of years. In the 1990s, MMA organized the first UFC competition. Originally, it was only prepared for one competition, but it was retained because it was profitable.

UFC has become the highest-level event of MMA. In your Asia, there are events like K1 and Kunlun Finals. In fact, they all belong to the UFC's talent supply area. "

Zhou Zhen nodded. He actually understood these things very well. What he didn't understand was the internal operation and division.

"Boxing has already become a large industry, with countless athletes and promoters eating in this industry. They don't need promotion, they have countless audience bases.

But UFC is not the case. They belong to a closed system, or a company. In order to promote this industry, they need to cultivate talents and use limited resources where they are most needed.

The main difference is reflected in five aspects. First, the boxing organization asks the fighters to collect money for each match, but the tournament organization pays the fighters.

According to the logic of professional boxing, everyone spends money to watch the boxing champion, and most of the income from a game is attributed to the boxing champion;

Fighting tournaments are just the opposite. Because the tournaments are struggling to organize the matches and also pay the boxers appearance fees, most of the income is taken away by the tournament side;

Therefore, compared with boxers, fighters are naked and exploited.

Of course, this kind of exploitation is determined by the industry and belongs to industry rules.

The boxing champion and the promoter are the bosses, the boxing champion is the "wage earner", and the match is the boss.

This is the reason why I said that boxing organizations collect money from promoters, while fighting competitions pay athletes. "

Zhou Zhen expressed his understanding, and Batista said: "The second point is that boxing matches are small and refined, while fighting events are big and complex. Boxing matches can be done at any time as long as they can negotiate with their opponents and comply with the rules of the boxing organization. Organize an event.

The income of professional boxing competitions is for promoters and athletes, and boxing organizations such as WBA and WBC only charge about 10% of the certification fee commission.

Promoters of professional boxing generally only sign a few star boxing champions, and the frequency of matches does not need to be too frequent.

Pacquiao plays four games a year too much, and Mayweather also plays once or twice a year. But their income is unmatched by all athletes.

Fighting events are different. They are similar to a super huge promotion company. They hold regular matches at a stable frequency, called series or leagues, and need to sign a large number of athletes.

Take the UFC as an example. They signed about 400 boxers, and each of them played at least four times a year, which is 1,600 games.

In order to promote newcomers, most boxers lose money. The cost of holding so many competitions every year is staggering. So they don’t have a lot of money for everyone. "

"The third difference: Boxing is a free trade with an open market, and fighting is a closed monopoly of self-government.

Boxing is a free market where the whole world is in the same system. Every promoter and boxer can communicate with each other and trade together.

Different boxing organizations can also cooperate. WBA champions can fight with WBC champions. It also produced more valuable top celebrity boxing champions like Mayweather and Tyson with multiple organizational titles.

On the contrary, fighting competitions are all run by independent companies. A competition signs dozens or hundreds of fighters to fight their own. Each has its own rules and levels.

In each level, only the few people who signed the civil war. "

Batista took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then said: "The fourth point of difference: the world's champions are blooming, every country has champions, and each organization has different levels of champions, but only the UFC family is considered the top fighter. Race.

This is because the size and the size of the market are different. At present, before the market is nurtured, the benefits of fighting are not only inferior to boxing, but more than half are taken away by the competition. "

"As for the fifth point, it is my personal opinion. Boxing is always the same, the rules are simple, the boxer is always the core, and it is easy to make stars.

However, there are several schools of kung fu in fighting competitions. Most of the various competitions are separated from the original old competitions. They are mainly competitions, so making stars is not as easy as boxing. "

Zhou Zhen asked: "So, your suggestion is that I go boxing directly instead of UFC?"

Batista nodded and said: "In boxing, find a good promoter, you can keep at least 70% of your income. But if you enter the UFC, you can get up to 20% of your income, 100 million US dollars. Seventy percent, twenty percent of ten million U.S. dollars, think about how big a difference this is."

Theron said with some worry: "ZZ, your strength..."

Batista said with a smile: "Miss Theron, ZZ's strength can definitely become a world-class boxer. And he is now an actor, actor's reputation, coupled with strong strength, he will become the next Tyson, Mayweather The possibility of a star at this level.

Of course, you have to find a reliable team that can package yourself. "

Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "Dave, my team may need someone like you."

He laughed. "Let's talk about it when I can't make movies. At this stage, I still prefer to make movies."
