209 Lack of David Beckham

"I think that with the gradual increase in the cost of film production, under the premise that the box office pressure is too great, film production will shift more and more from originals to adaptations, remakes and other genres, for example, [Tomb Raider] is adapted from well-known games, and it is highly anticipated, and the original gamers are potential consumers of the movie, how good!"

Xiao Yu's opinion immediately aroused the unanimous approval of Clooney and others.

"On top of that, I think there are potential remakes of famous TV series, well-known sci-fi animated series, well-known comic works, and some excellent works outside of the United States."

After hearing this, Tom Cruise couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Seriously, I thought I had already worked hard in this area, but when I heard what you just said, I think I still don't have enough profoundness, you are right, maybe we should believe in the ability of professional managers, but when the time comes, you will have to be a consultant to the company!" ”

Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he would definitely go when he had time.

Everyone could hear that Xiao Yu was trying to cheat, and everyone suddenly rushed up, demanding that Xiao Yu should fulfill his duties as a boss, and he couldn't ignore it or something, and said that Xiao Yu seemed to be very unscrupulous.

"Hey, you can't bully him!" In the distance, Eva Snow heard the laughter and came with Victoria.

"Hehe, Eva, don't worry, he's not so easy to bully!" Clooney joked.

The two women sat down, and everyone's topic also changed a little, but it didn't take long for it to go around and around Xiao Yu, and the most important topic was undoubtedly Xiao Yu's recent move in Africa, which made many people think that Xiao Yu was planning to focus on charity.

"In fact, I never manage my company in the United States, I have delegated authority to professional managers to do it, there are software experts in software, there are hardware experts in hardware, and there are specialized management talents in company management, I don't think it's any use for me to sit there, instead of wasting time on those socializing, I should do something I like to do, such as football, such as charity, I don't think there is anything wrong with that!"

This is Xiao Yu's explanation of his actions.

"Looks like you've figured out what you're going to say when you're interviewed by Time magazine, right?" Clooney said enviously.

Being interviewed by Time Magazine is the dream of countless men, especially to be able to publish their photos on the cover of the magazine, and there has been news from the outside world that Xiao Yu will be the next key interview object of Time Magazine, and it is said that CNN also plans to interview Xiao Yu.

People outside the United States really can't understand how popular Xiao Yu is in the United States, he is a Chinese, but he is almost popular all over the American high society, especially on Wall Street.

But Xiao Yu is different from the money experts on Wall Street, Xiao Yu and Steve Jobs are good friends, and recently Buffett also came out to praise Xiao Yu in a high-profile manner, thinking that his philanthropy is very commendable, along with Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, he also thinks that Xiao Yu's charity is very respectable, and hopes to have the opportunity to meet Xiao Yu.

These two are world-renowned philanthropists, and they are both very supportive of charity, but Xiao Yu's philanthropic actions in Africa this year have made him a philanthropic celebrity in one fell swoop, which has to be said to be the result of media hype.

After Xiao Yu heard this, he smiled and said: "In fact, you may not believe it, every morning when I get up, I will face the mirror and practice what I just said repeatedly, because I am afraid that I will be incoherent when I am interviewed, so I plan to practice these words repeatedly, and finally turn it into habit and instinct, so that I will not say it wrong!" ”

Hearing him say so seriously, everyone burst into laughter.

"If you have any charity activities next time, remember to call me, I don't understand football, but I am also interested in charity." Clooney said with a smile.

"Yes, definitely!" Xiao Yu replied with a smile.

"By the way, Xiao Yu, I heard that your club is recruiting an image consultant recently, right?" Cruise asked suddenly.

Xiao Yu was a little strange, how did he know about this, and looked at Eva Snow.

The latter smiled: "I heard Tom mention it before, a friend of his is an image consultant, it is said that he has also worked for many NBA teams and football teams in the United States before, and he is very good in this industry, because the investment business failed before, so he wants to find a job, I will help you ask!" ”

Xiao Yu smiled with relief, "Yes, I want to hire not only a player image consultant, but also a corporate image consultant, you know, my players' image is not very good!" ”

He pointed to the group of players next to him and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Indeed, it is really difficult to say that the image of the players of the new Manchester United is good, such as Essien, Drogba, Evra, Abidal and others, who would say that they have a good image?

But this is not packaged, as long as it is slightly packaged, the black chicken can become a phoenix, and even Ronaldinho can be packaged as a happy superstar, so what else is impossible?

Of course, Xiao Yu's so-called packaging is moderate, after all, the value of the player is reflected in the football field, no matter how popular he is outside the football field, it can't change his value on the field, and the prosperity off the field can only be temporary.

"Well, I think you're missing a David Beckham!" Tom Cruise made a joke about Beckham.

Originally, it was just a joke, but who knew that after Xiao Yu heard it, his heart was sudden.

The new United are indeed lacking a figure like David Beckham, who has a huge role on the pitch and has a high commercial value off the pitch, but he is also a professional star who can make a huge impact on the club.

Taking stock of the current squad of the new Manchester United, players such as Drogba and Essien are unlikely to make a difference in business, and the most handsome of the remaining teams is Palacio, but the Argentine youngster is not the main player in the team, and John Terry and Curtis are not the kind of players with rich commercial value, because they are central defenders.

Maybe when Messi grows up, the new Manchester United will have its own superstar, but when will it have to wait?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu suddenly looked at Beckham beside him, which was meaningful!

…………

…………

The banquet ended in a lively atmosphere, and the two different identities of Hollywood superstar and football player seemed to be completely incompatible, but because of the relationship between Xiao Yu and Eva Snow, they had the opportunity to get together.

Superstars such as Clooney and Cruise also did not have the slightest shelf, and took the initiative to greet and drink with the stars of the new Manchester United, which made these little ghosts excited one by one as if they were something, and the bold Curtis didn't know where to find a pen and paper, but invited his idols to sign autographs for him on the spot.

The vice-captain's move was immediately echoed by the players, who were only about 20 young people at the age of idols, and it was like a dream for them to be able to drink and talk with the superstars who were usually destined to only be seen on the big screen.

Although they drank together, after all, the two sides had different occupations and did not have a common language, so they didn't talk much, and soon they dispersed in a corner and gathered a bunch of people to talk.

But what people didn't expect was that the next day's Sun newspaper was the first to publish photos of new Manchester United players drinking with Hollywood superstars such as Clooney and Cruise, which immediately caused quite a stir, and no one expected that these two completely different groups of people would get together.

There are even some exaggerated people who say that Xiao Yu is planning to take the new Manchester United players to Hollywood to make movies.

When Xiao Yu saw these reports, there was no way at all, he was a victim himself, and he could only express his helplessness with a pitiful wry smile, because he couldn't control the mouths of those media at all, and he didn't plan to care.

According to Mark Davy, the more exposure the team has, the higher the advertising value, and he even plans to ask the Commerce Department to do a new round of publicity on the matter to stimulate the new Manchester United's business growth.

However, Xiao Yu specially found Mourinho, he hoped that the team would not be affected by the outside world, and should concentrate on preparing for the new season, and he also made it clear to Mark Davy that at this time, no matter what the Ministry of Commerce does, it is best not to affect and disturb the players.

In this case, Xiao Yu's ability to control the team is vividly reflected, and the Ministry of Commerce and Athletic have followed Xiao Yu's words, among which the Ministry of Commerce has given up a lot of sponsorship activities full of temptation, but in exchange for the team's peace of mind.

Although it is a pity, but the Ministry of Commerce has cleverly raised the posture of the new Manchester United to accept sponsorship to a new level, through the media and some reports, people feel that the new Manchester United is not blindly into the eyes of money, but has a choice of sponsorship partners, although this will make the new Manchester United lose a lot of sponsorship benefits, but unintentionally raised the level of the new Manchester United.

It has to be said that Mark David and Gardner's ability to turn crises into opportunities is really strong, and under such strict conditions as Xiao Yu, they have opened up a new situation for the business development of New Manchester United.

In the next three warm-up games, in the face of low-level teams that are not as strong as themselves, the new Manchester United did not leave the opponent even the slightest chance, and won all three warm-up games.

In the warm-up game, the new signing Kolo Toure started in place of Bosingwa and performed well, and it is clear that Mourinho has decided to reuse Kolo Toure this season, and Bosingwa will be his main replacement, but Xiao Yu also mentioned to Mourinho that Toure will also perform very well in the central defender position.

Didier Drogba did well in the warm-ups, and although he didn't score, he had a stronger impact on the pitch than Kitson, and he also had a style of footwork that Kitson didn't have, allowing him to work fluidly with his team-mates, and his speed was faster, which greatly boosted the pace of the new Manchester United's frontcourt.

For the new Manchester United, who have always advocated rapid progress, Drogba has no intention of being more suited to the team's tactics than Kitson.

And then, obviously, his shot should be stepped up!
