Chapter 876 Target, Atlantic Ocean

During the days when Morocco was captured, Ouyang Shuo received several special letters one after another.

First came a letter from Queen Kalia, congratulating the Great Xia Dynasty on its next victory and gaining a firm foothold in the Mediterranean Sea. This is also good news for the city of Atlantis.

This time, he was able to successfully win Morocco, and Kalia also helped a lot. When the Morocco province is on the right track, Ouyang Shuo will give Atlantis a big gift.

Then there is the letter from Henry, which is very short, with 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 this future one of the three European giants would make between the interests of the territory and the organization.

Human hearts are selfish.

All Ouyang Shuo needs to do is to wait patiently.

Finally, there is a letter from Pedro, in which there is a hint of good intentions. Long before Ouyang Shuo arrived in the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Snake Guard had been ordered to have contact with the number one Portuguese lord.

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

Unexpectedly, Pedro was so cautious, and finally declined the olive branch extended by the Great Xia Dynasty, choosing to wait and see. Pedro finally made a choice when the dust of World War I in Morocco settled.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo couldn't confirm whether Pedro had completely fallen for the Great Xia Dynasty at this time. Maybe when, this so-called overture will appear repeatedly.

Ouyang Shuo judged that Pedro is a person with interests above everything else, he will cooperate with whoever can bring him greater benefits, it has nothing to do with culture or feud.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't say anything about it, there was nothing to blame for the lord being more cautious.

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

In the future, in Atlantic affairs, it is impossible to say that cooperation will be deepened.

As for the other lords in the Mediterranean Sea, there is no news for now, but Ouyang Shuo believes that they will not sit still and will definitely take action.

Kalia's letter mentioned that these lords are plotting something.

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

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo judged that they still had to compromise with the Great Xia Dynasty in the end. The Strait of Gibraltar guarded by the Great Xia Dynasty is not only related to the ocean trade between the East and the West.

For the Mediterranean lords, the more important role of the Strait of Gibraltar is to connect them with other European countries and American countries.

After leaving the Strait of Gibraltar, in addition to heading north to the United Kingdom, continuing westward will lead to the American continent.

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

Now this lifeline is in the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty, and they have no choice but to compromise.

Of course, the Mediterranean lords are not without chips. The great sea route of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Mediterranean is an insurmountable hurdle, at least for now.

Once the two sides fell out completely, the Mediterranean lords would certainly not be able to conduct ocean trade with the Americas, and the ocean trade of the Great Xia Dynasty would also suffer heavy setbacks, eclipsing the great sea route.

Therefore, if there is a real stalemate, both sides will suffer.

What can be negotiated in the end depends on who holds the heavier bargaining chip between the two parties.

...

On May 25th, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City with the imperial guards.

On the square near the teleportation formation, Jiang Shang waited early with all the officials in the court. Seeing Ouyang Shuo walk out of the teleportation formation, he immediately saluted: "Welcome to the return of the King!"

A hearty victory is indeed exciting news for the newly established Great Xia Dynasty. The king's personal conquest made this great victory even more legendary.

"My gentlemen, please stand up!"

Ouyang Shuo dealt with it for a while, then returned to the harem.

Now that he's back in Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo probably won't be able to relax. Before all the officials could find them, Ouyang Shuo went back to the harem to take refuge and sneak in.

Furthermore, for this expedition, Ouyang Shuo specially brought gifts for Song Jia and Bing'er, and they wanted to send them there too.

This Dian Binger is still studying in the virtual classroom, but she is not in the palace. But Song Jia, the queen, is practicing sword in the imperial garden at the moment, and the sword technique she practiced is naturally "Guitang Sword Manual".

Ouyang Shuo has been obsessed with "Killing the Sword" for a long time, and he has a good eye for swordsmanship. Looking at the unpredictable changes in Song Jia's sword moves, he has practiced the "Gui Zang Sword Manual" to the second stage of "First Glimpse of the Door", which is really extraordinary.

Thinking about it, during this period of time, Song Jia had practiced diligently and had not dropped out of swordsmanship.

"Wuyi, you're back!"

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

It's just January, like three autumns.

Ouyang Shuo followed with a smile, clapped his hands and said, "Madam's swordsmanship has become more and more proficient."

Although they have already enthroned as kings, when there are no outsiders around, the husband and wife do not address each other as "king" and "queen" in a serious way, which seems to be an inappropriate relationship.

"Of course." In front of Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia also had a rare lack of humility, and said, "You don't know how hard I have been practicing swords these days. Guizang swordsmanship is too complicated, and it's difficult just to get started."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and the couple talked and laughed and moved to the nearby pavilion. There have long been maids serving tea and pastries, standing on one side to serve, and waiting for orders at any time.

Standing behind Song Jia was her personal female officer. When she saw the queen talking and laughing at Yan Yan, a smile appeared on her face. Only when she sees the king can the queen be so relaxed and comfortable.

Normally, the queen is in charge of the harem, but she is so majestic that it is difficult for people to get close to her.

Where is your Majesty?

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

This situation is only seen by these personal female officials.

Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia had long been used to being served like this, and chatted as if no one else was around. While chatting, we talked about the movie "Beauty of the River and Mountain", which was released not long ago.

"Wu Yi, guess what the final box office of "Jiangshan Beauty" was?" Song Jia couldn't hide her excitement.

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

This life is obviously different.

Ouyang Shuo calculated secretly, and said, "Three million gold coins?"

With 100 million players in China, 30 million viewers is basically the limit, and it can be called a legend. After all, no matter how popular a movie is, no matter how powerful the publicity is, it is impossible to bring everyone into the cinema.

Song Jia shook her head.

"Not yet three million? That's normal." Ouyang Shuo said comfortingly.

Song Jia smiled "puchi", stretched out four tender fingers, and said with a smile, "It's four million."

"What? Impossible!"

Ouyang Shuo was stunned. What is the concept of 40 million viewers? Excluding children who don't have the experience of watching movies and the elderly who are not in good health, more than half of the Chinese players have watched "Jiangshan Beauty".

It's almost impossible.

"How did you do it?"

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

Song Jia smiled and said, "Speaking of which, your article was a great help. In addition, not long after "Jiangshan Beauty" was released, the Great Xia Dynasty established a dynasty. I learned that the film is from [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings Group] It was invested, and a large number of players spontaneously recommended it. The number of viewers unexpectedly ushered in a second wave of small-climax. According to Gaia’s statistics, there are at least two million players who have watched it twice, or even watched it three times. Four times."

Ouyang Shuo suddenly realized, it's no wonder.

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

In other words, with only one "Jiangshan Beauty", [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holding Group] realized a profit of more than two million gold coins. This life "Jiangshan Beauty" is well-produced, and the production cost is naturally rising.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said with emotion, "You guys are really stealing money."

Song Jia was also in a happy mood, and said with a smile, "That's not all. Gaia has agreed to arrange for "Beauty of the River and Mountain" to be screened around the world in June. Gaia has its own translation system, and we don't even have to translate."

"..."

Ouyang Shuo was silent. In his previous life, Gaia hadn't released any films worldwide until five years ago. It seems that the madness of "Beauty of the River and Mountain" even stimulated Gaia, who has always been calm.

The global market is tempting to think about.

Although there are cultural differences, it is conservatively estimated that at least another 4 million box office can be won. Among other things, Chinese culture is still the only orthodox in Asia and is very popular.

According to Song Jia, the success of "Jiangshan Beauty" has undoubtedly inspired all the big names in the film and television industry who have signed contracts with [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings Group].

In addition to "Huo Qubing", which has already been filmed, the group is planning to make two films in Gaia's four years, and the source of funds is the box office profits of "Jiangshan Beauty".

As long as "Huo Qubing" passes the box office, the group will embark on a virtuous cycle.

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

They found out that more than 80% of the bigwigs in the film and television industry had been embraced by [Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings Group], and they could only beat their chests and stamp their feet.

It's not that no one wants to poach the corner of [Shan and Sea Entertainment Holding Group], but these bosses are not fools, knowing that the Great Xia Dynasty stands behind the group.

If you don't need such a backer, isn't it sick to go job-hopping? !

Therefore, some actors of the group would rather play supporting roles in the films that the group is planning to make than change jobs, leaving those wealthy people waving golden tickets to do nothing but run to compete for the 20% of the fish that slipped through the net.
