Chapter 284 Tiger's ambition

On October 21, Valencia, who returned to Spain from away, seemed a little tired, but at this time, Tiger showed his own value. His powerful shot helped Valencia defeat Zaragoza 1-0 at home and scored three-pointers, and the value of these three-pointers was shown a day later. In a focus game in the sixth round, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 at home. The flying booing and pig heads thrown from the stands became the most eye-catching scene. In this fanatical atmosphere, Figo performed mediocrely, and Real Madrid also lost because of the silent fire of Figo, who has become the core of the offensive. Barcelona ranked second after winning, and Valencia relied on this victory and Real Madrid's defeat to the top - this is Valencia's first place in the standings after Cooper took over!

Although it may only be ranked first for the time being, Valencia's fans are still cheering because of this result. For them, when was the last time Valencia topped the scoreboard? Forgot...

At this time they began to believe that it is no longer a dream to attack Valencia on all fronts this season and achieve good results on all fronts.

Because the Real Madrid and Barcelona battle began a day later than Valencia's game, Valencia's players watched the game together. When they saw the crazy scene in the stands, even these knowledgeable players looked at each other one by one, feeling incredible.

"Well, I won't go to these two teams anymore if I kill him... At that time, when I was at Manchester United, the fans of Camp Nou still applauded me. Why did I do this to Figo?" Tiger said with a sigh.

Other players shrugged at the same time. Can the hatred between Barcelona and Real Madrid be compared with Manchester United? What's more, Figo still went to Real Madrid in a nearly defective way. There are many shifts between Real Madrid and Barcelona players in history. For example, Barcelona's Luis Enrique is also from Real Madrid to Barcelona, ​​but no player can cause such controversy as Figo's transfer...

However, Tiger said this sincerely. At least if he leaves Valencia in the future, he will not be willing to go to Barcelona or any team of Real Madrid. At least he will not be willing to face Valencia's fans as players of other teams, although Valencia's fans will hardly treat him like Barcelona fans treat him.

After reaching the top spot in the standings, Cooper announced that the next day of holiday, Tiger flew directly to London without even returning home, where Kelly was waiting for him.

"Dear, let me tell you good news."

After some intimacy, Kelly said to Tiger happily.

"What good news?" Tiger asked curiously. Kelly's career has always been stable. Perhaps because she was afraid that Tiger would not be happy, she never took any sexy calendars or something. The Sun offered a high price to shoot a set of sexy photos on three pages was rejected by Kelly. Although it was okay to support herself, her income was not too high. After hearing Kelly say this, Tiger thought that Kelly's career had made some progress.

"Of course it's "Stolen, robbery, kidnapping," Kelly said with a smile: "You're going to get rich again next."

Tiger was stunned for a moment. He was not very concerned about this matter if he failed to participate in the premiere of this movie. After all, Ross is taking care of the specific situation. And when he heard that the premiere was very bad, he thought he was going to lose money: "Why, didn't Mr. Ross say that the premiere's income was only 20,000 pounds last time?"

"That's the beginning. It's been released for a month and a half now, and major theaters in the UK are preparing to delay the release time by one month... Do you know what this means?" Kelly said after slighting him.

"It means that the theater hasn't paid back yet?" Tiger said hesitantly. In his impression, the longer it takes, the more income it will be...

Kelly bent over with a smile: "You are really... this means that this movie is so popular! I heard that it is about to tie the previous British box office record. It is only a matter of time before the record is extended for another month. Now all people in the film and television industry say that you are a lucky person, and investment has not failed."

"Box office record? How much is that?" Tiger was stunned.

"The box office of the two big smoke guns before was more than 23 million, ranking third in the history of the British box office... What do you think?" Kelly said with a smile.

"Isn't that going to cost more than 30 million?" Tiger said in surprise. It's no wonder he was surprised. The box office of 30 million yuan, after deducting taxes and theaters' share, the final result was at least 15 million (the previous "Two Big Bowls" blocked. Ritchie and the actors were both unknown and suffered a great loss in theaters' share. This time it was naturally different. Brad Pitt's franchise alone was enough to make theater dealers make concessions). In other words, Tiger alone earned 5 million pounds. In addition to recovering investment, he could also earn nearly twice the income.

This is just the box office in the UK! With Brad Pitt's international fame and the status of a first-line Hollywood actor, the box office revenue in the United States and overseas may not be less!

"It's almost 30 million, and this alone can make you pay." Kelly said with a smile, and Tiger looked at her with a smile. Her happiness was because Tiger's investment made money again, and she was so happy that she had made money herself...

"But if you count it, it doesn't seem easy to make money. The miracle of "Two Big Bowls" is almost unreplicable. "Stolen and Killing" is not so popular. So don't other moviemakers take big risks?"

"You can't say that, after all, there are few individual investments in movies. They are all film companies operating, absorbing funds and reducing risks. And don't forget that there are many movies used to launder money. Few individual investments can make a lot of money, otherwise why would everyone say you are the lucky person?" Kelly replied.

Tiger touched his chin and couldn't help but think of Lin Danda - Lucky, was it because of Lin Danda's control?

But no matter what, Lin Danda did give him great help, and there is no doubt about this. At least, the strength that allowed him to establish his football field was basically brought by Lin Danda...

But these millions of profits do not seem to be of much help to your future development plan - if you want to acquire a club, millions of pounds are nothing...

What Tiger didn't expect was that this movie brought him far more than these millions.

After being released in European countries and countries around the world, the box office of "The Story and Killing" reached a terrifying number - in the United States, the box office of this movie was 30 million US dollars, and the local box office revenue in the UK exceeded this number - also 30 million, but it was pound. After all, Guy Ritchie's style is more suitable for the British people's appetite. Most American audiences are aimed at Brad Pitt's fame, while outside the United Kingdom and the United States, the cumulative box office is 52 million US dollars!

After all exchanged into US dollars, the total box office of this movie reached 127 million US dollars!

Of course, compared with "Titanic", which ranks first in the world's total box office, "The Story and Killing" still has a huge gap - the total box office of this movie is as high as 1.8 billion, and "The Story and Killing" has only entered the top 20, and with the passage of time and the unlimited increase in the box office - after all, the world's economy is becoming more and more developed - the box office of "The Story and Killing" seems nothing in the future.

After deducting different taxes and different theaters from different places, the film's actual income was about 60 million US dollars. As a third of the investor, Tiger's income in this film reached 20 million US dollars, which immediately turned him into one of the richest football players.

Another movie that Tiger intentionally or unintentionally ignored made his income exceed his income in "Theft, Snap, Killing and Scam".

"Everything About My Mother", a movie that once made many investors unpopular, became the movie with the highest box office revenue in Almodovar.

The Spanish box office record was broken by this movie. In France, the movie also achieved a very high box office. Although the overseas box office of the movie was almost zero due to the art film (just like Wong Kar-wai's movies, it is almost a box office poison in Hong Kong, but his reputation in France is extremely high, which is why Wong Kar-wai's movies are almost at a loss in Hong Kong and China, but there are always people investing in him). In the end, the box office of this art film reached 67 million US dollars, and the final income was close to 40 million US dollars. After deducting the 30% dividends from director Almodovar, Tiger's final income exceeded 25 million US dollars. With these two movies alone, Tiger's income was close to 50 million US dollars!

It was not until this time that Tiger understood what Lin Danda meant, "Your reward has been given to you a long time ago."

However, compared with the money required to invest in a club, this 50 million US dollars is nothing - just the value of a Vieri transfer. Football players certainly have enviable income, but compared with those who are truly rich, they are just middle-class...

But what Tiger didn't expect was that compared with his future income, the income brought by these two movies is just an introduction. Of course, this is already a story later.

*********************************************************

After spending a day with Kelly, Tiger returned to Spain. The next game was the fifth round of the Champions League away challenge to Olympiacos. However, because Valencia has already advanced, Cooper will give the players a day off - in the last two Champions League group matches, Cooper plans to test the lineup and train new players.

In this game, David Villa, the only one of the nine new players who have not been in the official game this season, got the chance to play. He and Tiger are on the front line, and behind them are Vicente, Aimal, Baraja and Alberda. The oldest of the six people in the frontcourt is only 25 years old. They are Valencia's future.

However, the future performance of these Valencia in the game is average, perhaps because of the nervousness of their first appearance. Villa's performance on the court is quite average, the confrontation is not good, the speed is not particularly fast, the running position is good, but he doesn't cooperate well with Tiger. In the end, Valencia also lost to Olympiacos away 0-1 away, which made Lyon, who won Helenfin, feels so angry that he has to beat Olympiacos in the last round at home by 1-0 or more goals to qualify as the second in the group. They are now three points behind Olympiacos, and lost to Olympiacos one-two away. In the case of the same points in the Champions League group stage, it depends on each other's victory or defeat.

Valencia doesn't care about this. Although she lost the game, because she didn't lose three goals, Valencia still won the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule. In the last round, Cooper can safely test new tactics and train new players.

However, Valencia will not relax in the league. Three days later, they defeated the newly promoted Osasuna 2-1 away. With one goal leading, Tiger took the lead to help the team equalize the score, and then assisted Karu to score the winning goal. Now it is approaching November. Tiger hopes to attack the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards through his stable and outstanding performance. For a player, winning these two honors is the best way to prove his status!

His biggest opponents are Zidane and Figego. Zidane helped France win the championship in the European Championship, and Figego led Portugal to set off a storm. At the same time, after transferring to Real Madrid, he immediately helped Real Madrid to strive for the championship with a stable and outstanding performance. He suffered a loss against Zidane Tiger in the face-to-face match at the European Championship. Although his performance was not bad, Real Madrid, where Figego also defeated Valencia, where Tiger was located in the league, although Tiger's position changed in that game...

But even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Tiger will fight for it.

In addition to these two personal honors, Tiger is also interested in the Toyota Cup held in Japan at the end of November. He was also interested in the World Club Cup, because this World Club Cup was previously confirmed to be held in Spain. However, not long ago, the sponsor of the competition, FIFA marketing company ISL, suddenly collapsed, and the competition was almost aborted - although FIFA is looking for opportunities to continue the game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this competition, which has only been held for one year, will suddenly die, just like their sponsors.

Tiger doesn't care about this. Even if this competition can be held, it will be next year. The award ceremony for the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards will be held in December. As long as the Toyota Cup is won by the end of November, Tiger will have the capital to compete with Zidane!

Although Zidane has the World Cup and the European Cup, I also have the Champions League and the Toyota Cup! As for Figo, although he performed well, he has not won a championship this year. Even if the Golden Ball Awards are more important to the performance of the players this year rather than honors, no matter what, the real honor is always more convincing, especially in the selection of the World Football Master, because the head coaches and captains of various countries are participating in the competition. The head coaches and captains of those weak football countries may only watch the World Championships, but their scores are the same as those of top coaches and players - this is also one of the biggest factors that have always been questioned that the World Football Master is not as valuable as the European Golden Ball Awards.

Tiger knew that he had no advantage over Zidane in this regard. After all, Zidane spent much longer in the top league than himself, but this was not a reason why he didn't fight for it.

There is a glimmer of hope, and we must strive for it.

After having this goal, Tiger performed extremely well in the next game.

In the eighth round of the league, Valencia swept Celta four-zero at home, Tiger scored one goal and two assists, winning the best in the game.

In the last round of the Champions League group stage, Tiger did not play. Valencia tied Helenfin 1-1 in a meaningless game, and qualified for the first place in the group.

In the ninth round of the league, Valencia stubbornly equalized the score while falling behind two goals. Tiger scored two goals before the end of the game, which made Espanyol's home fans sigh continuously.

In the tenth round of the league, Valencia defeated Vallecano three-to-two at home, and Tiger scored a hat trick, and his condition was so hot!

In the 11th round of the league, although Valencia was tied 1-1 by Alaves, Tiger scored the only goal in the whole game to help Valencia keep his unbeaten golden body in the ten rounds. With the decline in Valencia's condition, Tiger's performance is the guarantee for Valencia's progress!

In the 12th round of the league, Tiger assisted his teammates twice in a row in the game. Valencia defeated Ovito two goals, continuing to maintain his three-point advantage against La Coruña and a four-point advantage against Real Madrid.

In this case, the draw results of Valencia's second-stage group stage were also revealed. They were in the same group with Manchester United, Panasinacos and Austria's Graz. After leaving Manchester United, Tiger faced his old owner in the Champions League for two consecutive years - UEFA is looking for gimmicks, and he has always been desperate...

"Before going to the Toyota Cup, I will contribute all my strength to Valencia!" Tiger said at a press conference, and his subsequent performance also proved that he was definitely not talking nonsense!

In the first round of the second stage of the Champions League group stage, Tiger scored twice in the game, then assisted Aimal to score, helping Valencia defeat Graz three-to-zero at home, making a good start for the second stage group stage.

Next, the Toyota Cup competition is coming.
