This is a huge gamble fueled by crazy capital. If you make a bet, you have to bear the final result.”This year’s packed concerts and the introduction of international sports events, especially Messi’s trip to China, have made many investors eager to give it a try, as if making money is easy. But not every commercial blockbuster makes money. Once it loses money, it may go bankrupt.

The above-mentioned investors said that many people are afraid to enter the game, because the operation of an international business event is not only the opportunity to win a “super IP” to compete in China, but more importantly, many small and important things. Approvals at all levels will take at least three to eight months; in addition, unexpected things will occur during the operation, such as the need to do a good job in serving fans.

The investor said that according to the operating experience of a commercial blockbuster, famous actors, famous directors, and large investments, if Cristiano Ronaldo’s trip to China is to come to a satisfactory conclusion, it may require two people, one is the “producer” Filmmaker”; the second one is the “crisis public relations master”, who can handle this crisis well. “Times have changed. For any project, whether it is an investor or an operator, you must first think about how to provide good services.”
