Chapter 89 The role of dual identities
After Bayern defeated Hamburg, the two teams came to the same starting line with points.
There are 9 rounds of league games after that, and in fact, the top battle between the two sides is still continuing.
But since this battle, the mentality of the two teams has changed.
Four days later, Bayern played against Nottingham Forest at home.
With a big victory in the first round and the morale accumulated from the victory over Hamburg not long ago, Bayern defeated Nottingham Forest again cleanly at home 3:1, and entered the Champions League semi-finals with his head held high in 8:1 in two rounds.
Wu Jie scored another goal in this game, and his Champions League goal number has reached 7 goals, starting to lead the Champions League scorer list.
However, Hamburg was unbalanced after losing to Bayern. On the same day, it suffered a 1:5 defeat at Dortmund and gave up the initiative to Bayern.
Three days later, Bayern faced his city rival Munich 1860, and another 6:2 victory, completely driving Hamburg to the second place in the league.
Wu Jie scored three goals in this game and scored a hat-trick in the league for the first time. His phenomenal performance continues.
Bayern has also reached the sprint stage of the season. The next UEFA Champions League and the German Cup are in the semi-finals. The league cannot be relaxed, otherwise losing a game will give Hamburg a chance.
At this time, Wu Jie was more concerned about the Champions League match. Bayern's next draw has been released, and they drew another British team, Liverpool.
But at this time there are no signings. The other two teams that reached the semi-finals are Real Madrid and Inter Milan, neither of which are inferior to Liverpool.
At the end of March, the German Cup semi-final opponent was also released, and Bayern drew Frankfurt, the sixth-ranked league leader.
The German Cup at this stage also did not sign up. The other two teams that entered the semi-finals are Hamburg and Kaiserslautern, all of which are in the top six in the league. Frankfurt is already relatively weak.
Throughout April, Bayern had to play seven games in total, including three league games, two Champions League games and two German Cups. The first one was the German Cup semi-finals on April 1.
Before the game started, Wu Jie met with the msm agency.
Among several well-known German brokerage companies, only MMS has agreed to only receive a 25% business share.
Wu Jie has reason to ask for this share ratio, because the contract of Puma or Adidas alone can reach one million US dollars, so of course he has to open the price a little higher.
But this 25% share is not easy to get. Wu Jie requires his annual pre-tax income to reach US$3 million, otherwise he has the right to terminate the contract in advance.
But it should be noted that these revenues must be completed by msm.
If he makes more money on record, that won't count as $3 million.
Simply put, msm company must help him get enough commercial contracts, and at the same time, it cannot allow him to have too many commercial activities and advertising shooting.
In addition, the company has to arrange an exclusive behind-the-scenes team for him, which cannot be less than 5 people, and is specifically responsible for handling his business development, image management, legal counsel, and also acting as his life assistant, etc.
These conditions are harsh, but after considering it, msm company agreed.
Because Wu Jie showed the level and potential of becoming the next football king after Bailey in just two months.
Although such conditions are harsh, the company still has sufficient profit margin.
Besides, if they sign such a superstar, they will have a great advantage when they attract customers in the future.
Wu Jie then handed over the contract negotiations with Puma and Adidas to the company, but the first thing Msm brought to him was a record company.
The overlord of the record industry in this era was naturally the Polykin Group jointly established by Siemens, Germany and Philips, the Netherlands.
If his album "Glorious Years" was sold, it would have been a huge crowd in Hong Kong.
But the main reason why Polykin came to him was his song "cry on my shoulder".
When Bayern had a derby against Munich in the last 1860, his "ET family" that grew rapidly to a hundred people, led by several liaison officers and sang the song on the court.
The melody of this song is a very beautiful masterpiece after 40 years. Especially inspiring the lyrics, it also has the effect of warming people's hearts and healing the soul.
After "E-House" sang this song on the spot, it was naturally interviewed by reporters after the game.
Only then did everyone realize that they were Wu Jie's fan club, and this song was actually Bayern's pride and the great "Alien" creation.
Now that Wu Jie immediately received interview invitations from several TV stations, and all hoped that he could sing this song on the show.
Even Bayern found him and said that he could be adapted into a team song?
Bayern's current team songs are so ugly. After Wu Jie's song is adapted into German, although his quality will definitely decline a lot, it will definitely become the best team song in the Bundesliga.
In addition, his "et's house" immediately welcomed a wave of invitations from hundreds of people.
In this era, even in Europe and the United States, there are not many such fan clubs. Wu Jie's "ET family" not only has a cool name, but also has its own songs, including a slogan written by Wu Jie himself: Born for glory and die for honor.
Fans of this era want to join in the fun when they see such a cool organization.
If Wu Jie was a German, then thousands of people would probably come to join the "et family" these days.
But even though he is a Chinese, hundreds of people want to join these days.
However, Wu Jie did not dare to accept so many people to join the club immediately because the Legal Affairs Department of MMS reminded him that such a fan club must be registered first, otherwise it may be banned as an illegal organization and he will also get into trouble.
So he is entrusting the brokerage company to help register, and then he will expand the scale of the "et family".
Before that, Polykin came to the door first, hoping to cooperate with Wu Jie and get the copyright of the song.
Wu Jie naturally had to discuss with his team first. msm has specially formed a five-person team for him in accordance with the contract requirements.
The five are 28-year-old personal assistant Ida. This is a married woman with a somewhat masculine appearance and five years of experience in secretary. She is quite capable and rigorous at work.
Ferrix, 40, is his exclusive agent, mainly responsible for business negotiations and media PR in Europe.
Andres, 36, is also his agent, responsible for business negotiations in the Americas and Asia.
Jacob, 45, is a business promotion expert at the company, and he is responsible for formulating a global business promotion plan for Wu Jie.
Waxman, 41, is the company's legal counsel, specializing in solving legal issues.
Among these five people, Ida, Ferrix, and Andris serve him alone, and the other two work mainly for him. Msm gives him half of the resources.
Wu Jie naturally saw their favorability in private. Although no one has reached the level of affection, they are all normal and friendly, and there is no problem with the background.
He also handed over the negotiations with Polykin to this team, but there are several basic requirements: the copyright of the song cannot be given up, and no contracts with mission nature are signed. He only regards music as an interest outside the football.
After Ferrix met with German Polykin on behalf of Wu Jie, he quickly made these requests.
This made Polykin very embarrassed. Wu Jie didn't want to sign a contract, nor did he need a company to write songs for him, nor did he even need a company to help him promote it, and he completely regarded the record as a hobby.
These are nothing, the biggest problem is that he refuses to transfer the copyright of his works' songs and record copyrights.
However, as the world's largest record company, "copyright transfer" for more than ten years or even permanent is the bottom line that Polygon is unwilling to give in.
Wu Jie knew that this business was also difficult to negotiate. His confidence was that he didn't need others to write songs for him, and he didn't even need to promote and promote him. Every game he played was equivalent to promoting himself.
Polykin also knew that since Wu Jie didn't need anything, there was no need to give up the copyright.
Of course, the first negotiation between the two parties will not come to any results, and Wu Jie is not in a hurry to sign a record company.
Now he still relies on his outstanding performance in the game to expand his popularity. Even if Polygon does not agree to his conditions in the future, manufacturers such as EDA, Warner, Universal, and Sony will come to him.
So after learning that the first negotiation with Polykin failed, he quickly found two English songs suitable for plagiarism in the offline database, one is "don't turn off the·light" which is very familiar to Chinese fans in the future, and the other is "la·copa·de·la·vida" in the Spanish version.
He had already planned to copy the red songs related to football in the future, including the theme songs of each World Cup in the future, and even the two team songs of Bayern in the future, ensuring that each song can become a popular divine song all over the world.
There is a deeper reason for doing this. If you are invincible on the football field, then your influence as a yellow man is still limited, and 80% will continue to be embarrassed by the referee.
But if he could also become a god-level figure in the world music scene, when the influence of the two identities was superimposed, the referee would face more public pressure if he wanted to make things difficult for him.
Just imagine, if the Spanish version of "la·copa·de·la·vida" is the official theme song of the Spanish World Cup, will the referees in the Spanish World Cup have to be more cautious about his penalty?
