Chapter 261 I feel like I need to transform into T800 to deal with them

"Whose phone number?"

At noon, Long Wu was preparing to have lunch in his mansion. Seeing that Chen Lan looked strange after answering a phone call, he asked casually.

"Azhi, she wants us to come forward and help her deal with Wolverine." Chen Lan said.

Zhang Baizhi was an artist of her Hua Xia Star and she was her agent herself, but he had a bad temper and was disobedient, so her relationship with her was a bit strained.

This time, he even arbitrarily issued some bullshit statement to ban Wolverine, and got involved with Xie Tingfeng again, which gave her a headache.

"Crazy." Long Wu spat out two words.

"Huangying suffered heavy losses this time, so we can just sit back and watch the fight." Chen Lan said with a smile.

The Dragon King said thoughtfully: "The mainland is their home ground, what can the Royal England use to fight?"

"So you mean Huangying is bound to lose?" Chen Lan said in surprise.

Long Wu murmured, "A world-class superstar who is also a superstar in the sports, film, and fighting worlds, how great his influence is, Huangying has experienced this time."

"Wolverine's status is comparable to that of Chenglong and Li Lianjie." Chen Lan said.

Long Wu glanced at his wife and felt the need to remind her, so he said:

"Chen Lan, there is a difference between superstars and superstars.

In terms of influence, Wolverine has surpassed both of them. His influence is the combined influence of three industries.

If it was Chenglong, Li Lianjie and Huangying fighting, would their influence be enough to ban those Huangying stars? Absolutely impossible. "

"Is that so?"

Chen Lan nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Yanjing Zhongqiu Film and Television Company finally reached an agreement with the Bayi Film Studio.

Zhongqiu Film and Television Company invested 1200 million yuan, and Bayi Film invested 600 million yuan. The two parties invested a total of 1800 million yuan to jointly produce Soldiers Assault.

Yang Xue and Bayi Film held a press conference and announced that filming will begin early next year, which is early 05.

When this news was announced, both Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang of Huayi were stunned.

"I knew there was a problem, I knew it!"

Xiao Wang yelled at Da Wang, "Bayi Film has been refusing to sign the contract. Damn it, they are just playing with us. Damn Yang Xue, she stole our project again."

The king's face was also ashen, and he was extremely angry and depressed.

The Bayi Film Studio hoped to start filming this project as soon as possible, but Hua Yi could not come up with 6 million in cash, so he kept delaying the project.

He had talked with Bayi Film several times before, and the negotiations were almost complete. He planned to resume filming in late 05 or early 06 after the funds from A World Without Thieves were recovered.

He gritted his teeth and advised: "You are not as strong as others, forget it!"

"Brother, are we just going to let it go?" Xiao Wang said indignantly.

"Then what can you do? Wasn't the lesson from last time enough? It's just that Wolverine didn't find us." The king said impatiently.

"Humph!"

Xiao Wang sat down next to him, his face full of anger and said, "Brother, I also got a piece of news. Yang Xue will not use our company's people in the project that Zhongqiu Film and Television is participating in. This woman is determined to fight us."

"Are you sure?" The king was stunned.

"Sure, including the big names under Wang Jinghua. Brother, she is openly banning our Huayi, so should we also ban Zhongqiu Film and Television?" Xiao Wang said.

The king narrowed his eyes and said soon, "This should be the work of Wolverine. If he dares to touch the King, he will certainly dare to touch us."

"Then it's a fight to the death." Xiao Wang said with a cruel look on his face.

"Zhongqiu Film and Television currently has no film and television projects of its own, right?" the king asked thoughtfully.

"No, all the projects I participated in were just investments and co-productions, but I did not participate in the production, let alone independent production," said Xiao Wang.

The king nodded and said, “That means that Zhongqiu Film and Television has not yet completed the entire structure and does not have its own production team.

Without their own works, they pose no real threat to us, and we still have time.”

Speaking of this, he thought of Feng Xiaogang again.

The reason why Huayi entered the film industry was because it spent 98 million yuan in 800 to collaborate with Feng Xiaogang on the movie "Never Ending". After tasting the sweetness, it signed Feng Xiaogang in 99 with an annual salary of 65 yuan.

But a few days ago, Feng Xiaogang's four-year contract with Huayi ended, and he was notified that the contract would not be renewed. He then went to start a film and television company with Zhang Guoli and started his own business.

At this critical moment, this incident dealt a heavy blow to the company, which lost its most important director.

"I wonder what Feng Xiaogang can do outside. He can't accomplish anything without us." Xiao Wang also thought of Feng Xiaogang and said angrily.

The king nodded and said that Director Feng only knew how to make movies but not how to run a company, and he would fail in the outside world.

But now, facing the pressure of Mid-Autumn Film and Television, he can't do without Feng Xiaogang, which gives him a headache.

At this time, at Zhongqiu Film and Television Company, Yang Xue was holding a meeting.

Through her efforts, in just two months, the company's film and television production team has been established, and production equipment such as shooting and editing are in place.

Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Film Academy are independent circles with no shortage of resources in this area, which is why she was able to form a team within two months.

Half of the team members came from Beijing Film Academy and the rest were almost all from Hong Kong.

There used to be 20,000 to 30,000 people working in the Hong Kong film and television industry, but now there are only 4,000 to 5,000 left, and the rest are all unemployed.

The elites among these people are all seeking to move north, and among them are some first-rate talents, from screenwriters to photographers, from lighting technicians to prop masters, and so on, as well as a large number of martial arts actors.

Yang Xue has contacted several of Hong Kong's top directors. Although they have not been signed to the company, future cooperation is inevitable.

There are also a lot of famous directors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hu Mei, Zhang Li and seven or eight others. We have communicated with the help of Beijing Film Academy and will cooperate in the future.

We have already started cooperation with Zhang Yimou and Hu Mei, which are the largest-invested Journey to the West films and Qiao Family Courtyard.

Today, Zhongqiu Film and Television is divided into two small teams, one is the Beijing Film Academy and the other is the Hong Kong team.

There was a lot of competition internally and everyone submitted some projects to her.

Next, it’s time to create your own project.

The first confirmed television project was the TV series Golden Wedding, co-produced with Yanjing Television Station, starring Zhang Guoli. It was also the first project that the company participated in producing.

This project was carried out by a team from Beijing Film Academy and she handed it over to this team.

The second TV drama project was a script submitted by a screenwriter from Hong Kong, a youth idol drama about basketball.

This idea naturally came from He Zhongqiu. As long as it was filmed well, it should be good, so she handed it over to the Hong Kong team.

In addition, this will also be the company's first independently produced work. Yang Xue has thought about letting Sanjin play a cameo role and then let Sanjin find a few NBA stars and national team members to make cameo appearances.

In terms of movies, for the collaboration project with Director Zhang, she plans to bring together the elites of the company's two teams to shoot together with Director Zhang.

She also had another idea, which was to make a movie based on Sanjin and let Sanjin play himself.

Since Sanjin's influence is so great, just do your best to take advantage of him.

Unfortunately, Sanjin doesn’t have schedule, so the idea of ​​making a movie cannot be realized at the moment. It’s okay for him to make a cameo appearance in a TV series, which won’t take much time. At most, he can take the crew to the United States.

She called Lin Xue over and asked, "How was the talk with Director Feng and Director Zhang?"

"No, he and Zhang Guoli have been planning to start a business together for a long time. The company has just been registered and has already started working." Lin Xue shook her head.

"I want to talk to Director Zhang. Please help me make an appointment."

Because Zhang Guoli is the protagonist of Golden Wedding, Yang Xue hopes to start with him and form some form of cooperation.

Since you want to start a business, there are also ways to cooperate in entrepreneurship.

She thought of the current way of cooperation between Hollywood's film and television companies and celebrities, that is, companies invest in artists' companies and studios, forming a form of cooperation that takes into account the interests of both parties.

"Okay, Mr. Yang." Lin Xue said hurriedly.

……

November 11, Madison Square Garden.

Inside and outside the room, there are promotional photos of He Zhongqiu, Undertaker and other four people, with his photos being the main ones.

The photos of his Sky Arc Whirlwind Kill were placed in the most conspicuous position, with photos from all angles. WWE spent a lot of money to buy these photos from those photographers.

The original basketball court has been arranged in WWE style, with a 6X6 ring in the middle.

There are seven-meter-wide aisles on all four sides of the ring, which are also part of the fighting arena. Outside the aisles is a circle of billboards that separate the fighting arena from the audience seats, and no additional seats are arranged.

The media seats were also removed and placed in the aisle of the auditorium.

At 6:00 in the evening, the audience entered the venue and Madison Square Garden was quickly filled. A large number of wealthy celebrities also came in through the VIP channel and were surrounded by media reporters.

Arnold, the mayor of California, also came to Madison Square Garden and chatted with Johnson, Stallone, Sylvester Lundgren and others.

"Arnold, what do you think are the chances of Wolverine winning?" a reporter asked.

"Those three guys are very powerful. I feel like I have to transform into T800 to deal with them." Arnold made a joke first, which made everyone laugh.

Then he said: "As for Wolverine, he is the Kung Fu King. I think he has a good chance of winning. I believe in his strength."

"Arnold, do you think Wolverine really has a chance to win in a one-on-three fight? No bookmaker is optimistic about him right now." The reporter said in surprise.

Arnold shrugged and said, "If Wolverine is allowed to use Eagle Claws and hidden weapons, even if WWE sends ten people, it will be useless."

"Haha!" Everyone laughed again.

"But the rules don't allow it," said the reporter.

Arnold nodded and said, “So sir, even if Wolverine loses, it doesn’t mean that he can’t really beat the three of them.

It’s just that the rules don’t allow him to use his strongest means. From the rules, this fight was not a fair match from the beginning.”

At this time, Jordan came over and asked excitedly, "Who placed a bet? Who did you place a bet on?"

He just has a big gambling addiction. He won the last fighting match and his hands are itching again this time.

"This time it was one against three, and I only bet $50,000 on Wolverine," Johnson said.

"I bet 20,000, also on Wolverine," Stallone said.

Jordan looked disdainful and said, "I bet another 100,000 on Wolverine. It seems that I bet the most."

"Michael, since you are so confident in Wolverine, why don't you spend at least one or two million?" Johnson asked curiously.

"Do you think I'm stupid? It's one against three. My bet of $100,000 is already enough to give face to Wolverine." Jordan said unhappily.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed again.

At eight o'clock, the first performance begins.

Vince McMahon's entire family took to the field, taking the role of being beaten.

The second performance is a one-on-three show to celebrate Zhongqiu, starting at nine o'clock.

……

Far away in Singapore, Li Lianjie was watching TV in the living room of his hotel room while his three daughters were playing nearby.

Singapore National Television purchased TNT's satellite signal and broadcast live the one-on-three fight between He Zhongqiu and WWE. This was the match he was watching.

This time I came here from the United States, one is to investigate the situation of immigration to Singapore, and the other is to take a vacation and relax.

Danny the Wolfdog is about to be released and has entered the promotion stage, but his image in this movie is not very good and he was badly criticized in China, so he was not in a good mood and came here to relax.

As for immigration, that was Li Zhi's idea, and he had no choice but to agree to come and investigate the immigration situation here first.

At this time, Lizhi came out of the room holding her little daughter and sat next to him.

The relationship between the two is very good, but she also has her own plans. For the sake of her two daughters, she hopes that the whole family will immigrate to Singapore.

This is because there is a law in Singapore that non-Singaporeans are not allowed to inherit the property of Singaporeans.

In other words, as long as they immigrate to Singapore, Li Lianjie and his ex-wife's two daughters, who are American citizens, will not be eligible to inherit Li Lianjie's property.

"Ajie, what game?" she asked.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival match is a very hot one-on-three match." Li Lianjie said with a smile.

A trace of envy flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, and he sighed, "I heard that he made $1.7 million from the last fighting competition. Is that true?"

"The PPV sales volume is 322 million. Tyson's record is only 199 million. It must be true." Li Lianjie said with envy.

"How come he has such a great influence in just over two years?" Li Zhi asked in confusion.

Li Lianjie smiled bitterly and said, "It's a matter of time, fate, and situation. The most important thing is that he can really fight, which is the foundation of everything he does.

Then the three industries promoted and influenced each other, which led to his current fame and influence.”

Li Zhi suddenly said, "Ajie, you two are from the same hometown anyway, why don't you find a chance to get to know him?"

As a wife, she naturally knew that Li Lianjie was somewhat unhappy with He Zhongqiu because He Zhongqiu had never visited him or even contacted him.

Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and said, "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

Li Zhi is not a vase in movie roles, nor is she a brainless woman with big breasts. On the contrary, she is a person with a good business sense.

She studied business economics at the University of San Francisco. After being with Li Lianjie, she quit the entertainment industry and focused on developing business in mainland China.

The 25 hectares of land that Li Lianjie bought in Shanghai is actually her masterpiece, and she has now made a lot of money.

She said: "He is so popular, there is no harm in knowing him. I can work with him on a movie like Chenglong."

Li Lianjie usually wouldn't refuse Li Zhi, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's look for Wu Jing when we return to the United States."

"Okay." Li Zhi said happily.

Li Lianjie felt a little disappointed. When he became famous in Shaolin Temple in 82, He Zhongqiu was not yet born. Now he has to take the initiative to get to know this younger generation.

……

Madison Square Garden, 8:15.

In the TNT commentary booth, commentator Rick Swiberk excitedly shouted: "The latest PPV sales data, 300 million!"

Lewis Towns, another commentator, shouted excitedly: "There are still 322 minutes left in the game. I believe this number will definitely break the historical record of million."

"Oh ho!"

The audience cheered excitedly.

"awesome!"

McMahon was thrilled.

He spent a huge amount of money, even emptying all of WWE's working capital, to host this match, and now with sales of 300 million, everything is very successful, and WWE's influence will certainly be greater as a result.

Similarly, Wells Newland, the president of TNT, who boldly invested $0.9 million in this game, was also very excited.

Such a large investment actually involves a huge risk. If the PPV fails, TNT's investment will suffer huge losses.

In contrast to their feelings, ESPN's president and executives were very regretful.

ESPN reaped the benefits of He Zhongqiu last time and made $1.5 million, but this time they backed off.

Because they believe that this time the PPV sales will most likely not be as high as last time, the investment is too large, the possibility of losses is very high, and the risk is too great.

They analyzed that the reason why the last time achieved crazy sales was mainly because that fighting match was the Kung Fu King's first appearance in a fighting match.

However, the current sales volume of 300 million shows that their analysis is flawed.

Ten minutes later, their mood changed from regret to remorse.

"Good news, 323 million, the record is broken! The record is broken!" Lewis Downs shouted excitedly.

"There are still 35 minutes left. I believe PPV sales are likely to exceed 400 million. 400 million!" Rex Werbok said excitedly.

“Broken record!”

Xia Song said excitedly on CCTV's live broadcast.

In the lounge, He Zhongqiu finished exercising and put on a red cloak.

It's eight forty-five now and the game time is nine o'clock, it's almost time.

"Boss, it's 380 million now. This time it will definitely break 400 million." Frank Zhang rushed in and shouted.

"Okay, everyone's red envelopes will be doubled."

He Zhongqiu was so happy that he waved his hand and gave money to the team.

"Oh ho!"

There was a sudden burst of joy in the lounge.

Frank's mouth opened wide. As the general manager of American Mid-Autumn Culture and Sports, his red envelope was $300,000, which doubled to $600,000.

Next, He Zhongqiu changed into leather shorts for the competition.

Amid the sound of heavy footsteps, a group of burly men followed him along the corridor towards the stadium.
