Chapter 874: Target, Atlantic

In the past few days after the capture of Morocco, Ouyang Shuo received several special letters one after another. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

First, Queen Kalia sent a letter, congratulating the Bactria Dynasty on another city and gaining a firm foothold in the Mediterranean. This is also good news for Atlantis City.

This time, he was able to take Morocco smoothly, and Kalia also helped a lot. When the Moroccan province is initially on the right track, Ouyang Shuo will send a big gift to Atlantis City.

Then there is Henry's letter, which is very short and contains only one line of congratulations.

Through the thin letter paper, Ouyang Shuo seemed to be able to see through Henry's contradictory mood at this time, but Ouyang Shuo wanted to see what choice one of the future European giants would make between territorial interests and organization.

The human heart is selfish.

What Ouyang Shuo needs to do is to wait patiently.

Finally, there is Pedro's letter, which is faintly overjoyed. Long before Ouyang Shuo arrived in the Mediterranean, the Black Snake Guard had been ordered to have contact with the first lord of Portugal.

In Ouyang Shuo's mind, Portugal and Spain are a feud, as the so-called "enemy of the enemy is a friend", there should be a basis for cooperation between the Great Xia Dynasty and Faro City.

Unexpectedly, Pedro was really cautious, and finally declined the olive branch extended by the Great Xia Dynasty and chose to wait and see. It wasn't until the dust settled on Morocco that Pedro finally made his choice.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo couldn't confirm whether Pedro had completely fallen to the Great Xia Dynasty at this time. At some point, this so-called overture will come back and forth.

Ouyang Shuo judged that Pedro is a profit-oriented person, and whoever can bring him greater benefits will cooperate with whomever he wants, regardless of culture or feud.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't say anything about this, the lord was cautious, and there was really nothing to blame.

However, the current Great Xia Dynasty and Faro City can cooperate in many aspects. The location of Morocco and Portugal is actually a mirror image.

In the future of Atlantic affairs, it is impossible to say that there is a need to deepen cooperation.

As for the other lords of the Mediterranean, there is no news for the time being, but Ouyang Shuo believes that they will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely take action.

Kalia's letter mentions what these lords are plotting for.

There is a law in management that the more people involved in decision-making, the more conservative and prudent the final decision will be. This is exactly the case with consultations between the lords of the Mediterranean.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo judged that they would eventually have to compromise with the Great Xia Dynasty. The Strait of Gibraltar, which was guarded by the Bactria Dynasty, was not only about the ocean-going trade between the East and the West.

For the lords of the Mediterranean, the Strait of Gibraltar was more important as a maritime choke point between them and the rest of Europe and the Americas.

Out of the Strait of Gibraltar, in addition to reaching the United Kingdom in the north, continuing westward is the American continent.

For the lords of the Mediterranean, trade with the American continent was several times more important than trade with the eastern countries, and it was actually the lifeblood of their trade.

Now that this lifeline was in the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty, they had no choice but to compromise.

Of course, the Mediterranean lord is not without chips in his hands, and the great shipping route of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Mediterranean Sea is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, at least for now.

Once the two sides completely fell out, the Mediterranean lords would not be able to trade with the Americas, and the Great Xia Dynasty's ocean-going trade would also suffer a heavy setback, overshadowing the great shipping route.

Therefore, if you really want to make a stalemate, you will lose both.

What can be negotiated in the end depends on which of the two sides has the heavier chips.

……

On May 25, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City with the Praetorian Guards.

In the square near the teleportation array, Jiang Shang waited early with hundreds of officials from the court, and when he saw Ouyang Shuo walking out of the teleportation array, he immediately saluted: "Welcome back from the king's great victory!" ”

A hearty victory is indeed an exciting piece of good news for the newly founded Great Xia Dynasty. The king's personal expedition made this victory even more legendary.

"Gentlemen, please get up!"

Ouyang Shuo coped with it a little and returned to the harem.

Now that he has returned to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo is afraid that he will not be able to be idle. Taking advantage of the fact that the hundred officials had not yet been found, Ouyang Shuo first went back to the harem to avoid it, and was busy stealing.

Moreover, on this expedition, Ouyang Shuo specially brought gifts to Song Jia and Bing'er, and he also wanted to send them over.

This Dian Bing'er is still studying in the virtual classroom, but she is not in the palace. However, Song Jia, the queen, is practicing swords in the Imperial Garden at the moment, and the swordsmanship she practices is naturally the "Returning to the Sword Codex".

Ouyang Shuo has been immersed in "Killing Sword" for a long time, and he has a bit of an eye for swordsmanship. Seeing that Song Jia's sword moves are unpredictable, he has already practiced the "Returning to the Tibetan Sword Classic" to the second level of the [First Glimpse of the Door] realm, which is really extraordinary.

Thinking about it, during this time, Song Jia practiced diligently, and did not leave behind the swordsmanship practice.

"Wuyi, you're back!"

Xu felt Ouyang Shuo's gaze, and Song Jia finally noticed Ouyang Shuo standing not far away, and his face could not hide his joy.

It is not seen in January, such as every other autumn.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Madame's swordsmanship is becoming more and more proficient. ”

Although they have ascended the throne as kings, when there are no outsiders, the husband and wife are not properly called "king" and "queen", and they seem to be different.

"Of course." In front of Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia was also rare and immodest, and said: "You don't know how hard I have been practicing swords during this time, the Guizang swordsmanship is too complicated, and it is difficult to get started." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and the husband and wife laughed and moved to the nearby gazebo. There were already maids serving tea and pastries, standing on one side to serve, ready to wait.

Standing behind Song Jia was her personal female officer, and when she saw the queen smiling, a smile also appeared on her face. Only when she sees the king will the queen be so relaxed.

On weekdays, the queen is in charge of the harem, but it is not majestic, which makes it difficult for people to get close.

What about the king?

At this moment, he also fell into the mortal dust from a high-ranking king, and became an ordinary good man who doted on his wife, and reined in all his edge.

This situation is only seen by these personal female officials.

Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia had long been accustomed to being served like this, and they chatted as if no one was around. chatted and chatted, and talked about the popular movie "Jiangshan Beauty" not long ago.

"Wuyi, do you guess what the final box office of "Beauty in the Mountains" is?" Song Jia couldn't hide her excitement.

Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that in his previous life, the number of viewers of "The Beauty of the Mountains" was 20 million, and after deducting Gaia's commission, the actual income was 2 million gold coins, and the net profit was 1 million gold coins.

This life is clearly different.

Ouyang Shuo secretly estimated to himself and said, "Three million gold coins? ”

There are 100 million players in China, and the number of moviegoers is basically the limit, which can be called legendary. After all, no matter how popular a movie is, no matter how powerful the propaganda is, it is impossible to bring everyone into the cinema.

Song Jia shook her head.

"Not even three million? That's normal, too. Ouyang Shuo said comfortingly.

Song Jia sneered, stretched out four white and tender fingers, and said with a smile: "It's four million." ”

"What? Impossible! ”

Ouyang Shuo was shocked, what is the concept of 40 million moviegoers, excluding the immature children who do not have the movie-watching experience and the elderly who are unwell, more than half of the players in China have gone to watch "Jiangshan Beauty".

It's almost impossible.

"How did you do that?"

Ouyang Shuo is really curious, even if the "Beauty of the Mountains" in this life is more sophisticated in production, it is unlikely to achieve such a brilliant achievement.

Song Jia smiled and said, "Speaking of which, your article has helped a lot." In addition, not long after the release of "Jiangshan Beauty", the Great Xia Dynasty was established, and it was learned that the film was invested by [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group], and a large number of players spontaneously recommended it, and the number of moviegoers unexpectedly ushered in the second wave of small-high-tide. According to Gaia's statistics, there are at least two million or more players who have watched it twice, and some even watched it three or four times. ”

Ouyang Shuo suddenly wondered.

Such a movie-watching miracle is really due to fate, and I am afraid it will be difficult to replicate.

In this way, with just one "Beauty of the Mountains", [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group] has achieved a profit of more than two million gold coins. In this life, "The Beauty of the Mountains" is well-made, and the production cost is naturally rising.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said with emotion: "You guys are really robbing money." ”

Song Jia was also in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "Not only that, Gaia has agreed to arrange for "Jiangshan Beauty" to be released worldwide in June. Gaia has its own translation system, so we don't even have to translate. ”

“……”

Ouyang Shuo was silent, there was no film released worldwide until Gaia in his previous life for five years, and it seems that the madness of "Jiangshan Beauty" has stimulated even Gaia, who has always been calm.

The global market is tempting to think about.

Despite the cultural differences, it is conservatively estimated that it will be able to earn at least another 4 million at the box office, not to mention that Chinese culture is still the only orthodoxy in Asia, and it is very popular.

According to Song Jia, the success of "Jiangshan Beauty" has undoubtedly inspired the bigwigs in the film and television industry who have signed a contract with [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group].

In addition to the already filmed "Huo Qu's Disease", the group is also preparing to make two films in Gaia in just four years, and the source of funding is the box office profits of "Jiangshan Beauty".

As long as "Huo Qu's Disease" passes the box office, the group will embark on a virtuous circle.

The capital market of the entire China region has been stirred by the brilliant achievements of "Jiangshan Beauty", and rich people from all walks of life are ready to move and want to follow and invest in the film and television industry.

Only then did they find out that more than eighty percent of the bigwigs in the film and television industry were taken into the arms of [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group], and they could only beat their chests.

It's not that no one wants to dig the corner of [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group], it's just that these bigwigs are not fools, and they know that it is the Great Xia Dynasty standing behind the group.

Don't have such a backer, isn't it sick to change jobs?!

Therefore, some of the group's actors would rather play supporting roles in the films prepared by the group than jump ship, so that those rich people waving golden tickets can only run to compete for the two percent of the fish that slipped through the net.
