Chapter 781 One Move Is Missing (Please Subscribe)

Jiangchuan, Feiyang Stadium.

As a standard football stadium funded and constructed by Feiyang Group, it was also the home stadium of the famous Chinese Super League team Jiangchuan Feiyang.

That's right!

Feiyang Group once had a team in the Chinese Super League. Although it did not win the championship, Big Bear still spent huge sums of money to build a home stadium. According to the project cost at the time, this was much more luxurious than buying any foreign aid.

But this is all in the past.

Feiyang Group played football in the Chinese Super League for less than five years. Soon, Big Bear felt it was a waste of money and sold the club to another Jiangchuan boss.

But the stadium has always been called this name. The owner who took over the club only changed the name of the team, not the stadium.

With Mr. Xiong's help, Wanbao Group successfully rented the stadium for half a month during the offseason to host the "National Competition" finals of the Wanbao Cup Tennis Open.

Why choose here?

In fact, it stands to reason that it is more appropriate to choose a standard tennis court, as the small rent for the venue is relatively cheap.

But there is no way...

Who allowed Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in Jiangchuan City to enter the finals of this competition?

There are more than 30 strong schools across the country, and the finalists are Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School and Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Middle School from North China.

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is the home field and has won the support of the vast majority of Jiangchuan citizens. At the same time, they are also the school where the protagonist Ryoma in the anime "The Prince of Tennis" attends, so they are very popular.

Affected by this, the finals of this national competition have attracted extremely high attention. At least 50,000 spectators will come to the scene. Ordinary tennis venues cannot accommodate so many people.

So I chose Feiyang Stadium.

To this end, Wanbao specially spent a week to modify the stadium, including replacing the turf and moving the spectator seats forward.

This game also attracted a lot of attention on the Internet. As Gu Miao said, the broadcast of the animation "Prince of Tennis" made many people regard Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School as the "home team."

Therefore, many people are looking forward to seeing Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, led by Shen Chao, defeating powerful opponents and winning the cup.

But it's a pity...

The foreign middle school in Beijing did not respect martial ethics, but actually used foreign aid. Not only was it stronger in singles, but it also crushed Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in doubles.

Shen Chao, who was eager to win the championship, didn't even have time to take the field, and the game ended with a score of 3:1.

"What a pity!"

After the game, when Gu Miao, as the award guest, presented the awards to the two teams, he felt very uncomfortable looking at Shen Chao, who had dull eyes and lowered his head without speaking.

"Let's fight again next year!"

As the representative of the organizer, Gu Miao certainly couldn't say anything biased. He could only pat Shen Chao on the shoulder and encourage him not to be discouraged.

The runner-up is actually pretty awesome too.

At this time last year, who would have thought that the team that was regarded as the bottom team would actually win the East China championship and the runner-up in the national competition?

The fact that Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School has reached this point is beyond the expectations of many people. It can be said that... the real Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is no weaker than the Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the animation "The Prince of Tennis".

There is no way, the chess is just one move away.

After all, the hard power is not as good as others. Even in the doubles that they are most proud of, they are not opponents outside the capital. The score of 3:1 without being shaved is already a great achievement.

The days are still long...

Shen Chao only entered the second grade of junior high school in September this year. He will be stronger next year than this year, and Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School next year will be stronger than this year.

As for that, a miracle could have been created this year, a miracle that could have won the championship earlier than Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the anime "The Prince of Tennis".

But if you think about it seriously, isn’t the reason why a miracle is a miracle just because the probability of it happening is extremely low?

The Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in the animation, with talented players such as Zhong Guoguang, Zhou Zhu, Long Ma and Haitang, won the championship before the mediocre Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in reality. Isn't this inevitable?

This final attracted a lot of attention.

After the game, netizens also discussed the final for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that the most talked-about aspect of this final was not the competition process, but the world premiere of the stage musical "The Lion King" arranged by Wanbao before the game.

Someone uploaded the pre-game performance video to the Internet, and foreigners were so excited that they asked where they could watch the stage musical of "The Lion King"?

"I don't know!"

"Broadway? Please! I want to see this wonderful show on Broadway!"

"The performance is really great! It's hard to believe that this is actually the opening performance of a tennis match..."

A strange focus appears!

After the finals, no one discussed the championship team. On the contrary, the "Lion King" stage play performed before the game was very popular, which many people did not expect.

What is even more surprising is that Broadway in New York actually sent someone to contact Wanbao and invited Thomas and the troupe he formed to perform the "Lion King" stage musical on Broadway.

Not just in North America.

Thomas told Gu Miao after the competition that he had received invitations from many theaters around the world.

"Then do a global tour!"

Gu Miao pondered: "Since so many people like the stage show "The Lion King", then you can take people on tour to earn more fame and ticket money."

"If you are really too busy, then you can find a way to authorize the "Lion King" stage play to other theater groups for rehearsals and performances..."

Thomas had no objections.

The "Lion King" stage musical is so popular, so it doesn't matter if it launches a global tour. The first stop is Broadway.

But he has a question, that is, the movie "The Lion King" has not yet been released, and he is now performing all over the world, will it affect the box office of the movie?

This is crucial!

The plot of the stage play version of "The Lion King" is roughly the same as that of the movie version of "The Lion King". After all, both come from the same family.

The movie is still being shown all over the world. If he goes out to tour a stage play, will he seize some of the audience who originally planned to go to the movie?

"don’t worry!"

"How many audiences are there who like to watch stage plays? In comparison, how many audiences are there for movies?" Gu Miao explained with a smile, "Don't worry and go on tour boldly. It doesn't matter. It won't affect the movie box office."

The two don't conflict at all.

Even thinking about it from another angle, stage musicals are so popular that they may bring some new audiences to the movie.

As for the idea of ​​"stealing the audience", it is completely nonsense.

The movie has such a wide audience, even if it loses a few viewers, how much box office will it lose? In the face of a huge market worth billions of dollars, who cares about the box office provided by just a few viewers or hundreds of viewers?

Isn’t it okay to go to the stage play after watching the movie, and then go to the movie after watching the stage play?
