Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 86 Olympic Games 1

It is a bit ironic that just as Germany is sending troops to Spain to reinforce weapons, the Olympic Games, a symbol of peace, friendship, and progress, will be held in Berlin.

As early as 1924, before Yannick's time travel, Germany's Teodor Leval was elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee. In 2027, the German Olympic Committee led by Lehwald wrote to the International Olympic Committee, hoping that Germany would host the 11th Olympic Games, and proposed Berlin, Cologne, Nuremberg and Frankfurt as candidate cities.

In the 2032 International Olympic Committee vote, Berlin won 43 votes to 16.

However, Germany's old enemy, the French, would not make it easy for Germany. The successful march into the Rhineland greatly enhanced Germany's prestige, which in turn disgraced the French. Germany's accelerated militarization made France, its neighbor, sleepless.

Even though Germany is now shouting about friendship and peace, how can it escape the attention of those who are interested? Opposition to hosting the Olympics in Berlin continues to ring out around the world.

Just in June of 1936, the "Conference for the Defense of Olympic Thought" was held in Paris, France, with representatives from France, Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries. The conference called on people to oppose the Berlin Olympics and called for the venue to be changed to Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Then, New York established a struggle committee dedicated to opposing the Berlin Olympics; some European countries also made a clear commitment not to participate in the Berlin Olympics, but actively supported the preparation of the Barcelona Olympics; in order to support Spain in hosting the Olympics, France, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Athletes from 20 countries including Sweden, Greece, and the United States gathered in Barcelona to prepare for the Games to be held there on July 18.

As a result, the turmoil in Spain prevented them from doing so, and the International Olympic Committee decided that the Games would still be held in Berlin as scheduled.

Propaganda Minister Goebbels vigorously publicized this internally. "Now that France has cut off the dawn of peace with its own hands, the French still regard Germany as a country that is at the mercy of others, and they still look down on us!"

Foreign Minister Niu Wright said when taking questions from reporters. "We regret that these countries have questioned Germany's peace sincerity, but I think we cannot rule out that some people deliberately mix in and cause trouble."

This made Yannick really confused for a while. You must know that before the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, hosting the Olympics was basically a loss-making process, and the host country regarded it more as an "image project." Until 1984, Los Angeles creatively put forward the new idea of ​​"using the Olympics to support the Olympics", making a profit of 500 million US dollars, and explaining the new concept of the sports industry to the world.

At the beginning, Yannick even wanted to give up the right to host the event and give it to other countries.

But he couldn't stand the Gaul chicken's reckless jumping around, so he finally decided to continue the event.

In order not to lose money, he racked his brains. First, a new stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people was built, with extremely gorgeous interior and exterior decorations. The seating area is divided into several levels. The best VVIP area is of course reserved for heads of state and dignitaries from various countries, and it is impossible to charge admission fees.

The second VIP seating area is reserved for the rich and wealthy. The ticket price is worth two months' salary of an ordinary worker. These are tickets for the unpopular or preliminaries. Tickets for popular events and finals are almost worth half a year or even more. More.

Since you are a rich man, you won't care about "this" ticket fee. After all, just the "VIP" in the name of the seating area is enough to show their distinguished status, not to mention the service here is definitely worthy of the expensive ticket price.

Then there is the high-end business seating area, which is reserved for those elites who are not rich, but are also at the top of society. Of course, the fare may make them feel a little bit distressed.

After that there is the general business seating area, general area and so on.

He then issued a sponsor recruitment announcement to the country and even the world. Because the Olympic Committee has always worked hard to prevent excessive commercialization of the Olympics, Yannick cannot blatantly post advertisements in the venues, but the Olympic Committee cannot interfere with the items in the venues bearing their own LOGO, right?

Think about it, if you are making water cups, if you are selected, then the advertising slogan from now on will be "the official designated water cup for the 11th Olympic Games." Can it not be a hit?

Then he started issuing limited edition Olympic Games mascots, commemorative coins, postcards, stamps, etc. The merchants and shops on the street sell all the trinkets and toys related to the Olympic Games.

Yannick even made a movie specifically called "Berlin Holiday".

Because the angel who fell into the world is only seven years old now, it is impossible for her to play the leading role. Fortunately, there is a ready-made, real princess here, Princess Silvia of Italy.

This girl doesn't know what to think. She has been living here for free for so many days and has no plans to go back.

It is indeed comfortable to live in the palace, but as the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. What's more, she is also a princess and lives in a palace.

In any case, based on the principle of don't use it for nothing, Yannick mentioned this matter to Sylvia.

When she heard that she was going to be the heroine in a movie, Sylvia agreed with a novel look on her face.

But when Yannick said that he wanted to be the leading actor himself, he was unanimously opposed by the people around him. After all, he is the crown prince of Germany and the future emperor of the empire. It is so unseemly and disrespectful that he should be filming a movie with such a noble status!

However, Yannick told those who objected to go away and stay alone. Since he is the future emperor, he can naturally do whatever he wants. And in this way, it can give the surrounding countries the illusion that the crown prince is not doing his job properly, so why not do it.

The original plot of "Roman Holiday" is very simple, and Yannick has watched it countless times. Every frame and every second of the movie is engraved in his heart. He "wrote" the script in one night and started filming the next day. .

It’s just that the street scenery of Rome in the movie was changed to Berlin. After visiting Berlin’s scenic spots, the main scene was arranged in the theme park that is about to be completed. Although Walt Disney founded the company as early as 1923, the famous Disney theme park would not open until 20 years later.

Yannick unceremoniously took over all the classic Disney characters that had yet to be released as his own, which is true to the saying "walking other people's paths leaves others with no way to go."

In any case, as soon as "Berlin Holiday" was released, it caused a spectacle of crowds of people. Everyone flocked to the cinema, causing the demand for movie tickets to exceed supply.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the title of crown prince and princess alone is worth the price of admission. Moreover, this kind of love story is quite in line with people's appetite, and the plot of the movie has also won unanimous praise from the audience.

The Berlin theme park, which was previously unheard of and unseen, has become people's most desired tourist destination, attracting a large number of tourists.
