Chapter 318 2 Seconds KO
In the ESPN commentary booth, commentator Ethan Mones shouted excitedly: "Great, a Korean attacked the Kung Fu King with the national flag, and then he got a lesson."
His partner Sean Smith also said excitedly: "The Koreans gave Wolverine a big boo. This is the result of provoking him."
At this time, Ethan Mones suddenly said excitedly: "Well done! Well done, Wolverine!"
"how?"
Sean Smith asked quickly.
"PPV sales have exceeded 200 million. 200 million, this match will not lose money." Ethan Monies said excitedly.
"awesome!"
Former En Smith praised.
Although it is far less than the sales of He Zhongqiu's first three games, the sales of 200 million are still a terrible PPV sales, exceeding Tyson's highest sales of 199 million.
What’s important is that this time ESPN only has to pay for the television broadcast rights and is not responsible for appearance fees and bonus pools, so the cost is not high.
With a unit price of $99, there is also a revenue of $2 million. If ESPN gets half of it, it can make tens of millions of dollars.
"Sanjin, don't be impulsive. You are the first spokesperson for the Yanjing Olympics. You must pay attention to the international impact."
Twelve bodyguards cleared all the Koreans in the audience away, even a group of Korean reporters were driven aside, and then Yang Xue came to the audience and shouted.
"I understand." He Zhongqiu said hurriedly.
"Monster, kill Wolverine!"
"Mr. Cui, get that Chinese guy out of Korea!"
At this time, Choi Hong-man came on stage and received cheers from all Koreans.
Choi Hong-man was also under a lot of pressure. He accepted this match not because he was confident that he could defeat Wolverine, but because the temptation was too great.
An appearance fee of one million US dollars is not a small amount for him, and there is also a company willing to give him a sponsorship fee of up to 150 million US dollars.
If he can win the game, there will be a bonus pool of 5000 million US dollars waiting for him. This is a huge temptation. No one would not want to give it a try.
And it’s just a game. If you can’t win, you lose.
He Zhongqiu stared at Cui Hongwan who climbed onto the stage. This monster had shit-like blond hair and looked like a golden bear.
The referee called the two together and announced the main rules first.
"Ow!"
In order to boost morale, Cui Hongwan first yelled at He Zhongqiu, "Wolverine, you damn superhero, I will kill you, I will..."
"Snapped!"
He Zhongqiu waved his hand and slapped Cui Hongwan on the right cheek.
Cui Hongwan was stunned. Why were they hitting me before the fight even started?
"He didn't dodge at all. Is that the speed of his reaction?" He Zhongqiu was speechless.
"Wolverine, calm down!"
The referee quickly stepped in between and separated the two.
Ethan Monez laughed and said, "The Korean monster continued to provoke Wolverine and was taught a lesson again."
Sean Smith said in a warning tone: "Korean reporters, please never provoke the Kung Fu King. If you provoke, you will be slapped in the face. Wolverine never accepts provocation, he will only fight back."
"when!"
A minute later, the bell rang for the first round.
"BOX!"
The referee shouted and the first round officially began.
"Oh!"
He Zhongqiu stretched out his left arm and threw a fast and fierce jab. Cui Hongwan instinctively leaned back to dodge, but was still hit on the forehead.
The next moment, He Zhongqiu slid forward, twisted his waist and swung his arms, and threw out a heavy straight punch from behind.
"call!"
The punch was so powerful and fast, like a cannonball, it actually created a whistling wind.
"Oh!"
Cui Hongwan tried to dive to dodge, but his reaction was too slow and he was hit on the forehead by another punch.
This punch sent Choi Hong-man flying backwards, his upper body hitting the guardrail and then falling onto the boxing ring.
"Oh!"
A huge exclamation was heard in the stadium.
"Hit! Knockout! Is there a KO? Is there a KO?" Sean Smith shouted excitedly.
"Stop!"
At this time, the referee had already rushed forward and pushed He Zhongqiu away.
He Zhongqiu spit out the mouthguard, walked to the edge of the stage, and shouted to Yang Xue and Cheng Long: "Sister Xue, Brother Cheng, it's over."
"what?"
Yang Xue and Chenglong were stunned. This is just the beginning?
He Zhongqiu chuckled. After his explosive power reached level 100, the power of his backhand punch could reach 1200 pounds.
If he wasn't wearing boxing gloves, with the hardness of his fist, a full-strength punch would have been enough to blow Choi Hong-man's skull apart.
At this moment, the referee spread his hands and announced the end of the game.
"Oh!"
The gymnasium erupted in exclamations again.
Ethan Mones exclaimed: "KO? KO right now? Oh, God, in the second second of the first round, Wolverine knocked out the Korean monster Choi Hong-man with a heavy punch. He killed Choi Hong-man in seconds! He killed Choi Hong-man in seconds!"
Sean Smith laughed, "God, $99 for just two seconds? Wolverine's game time is getting shorter and shorter, he's almost a one-second guy."
On the stage, a huge lump had formed on Choi Hong-man's left forehead. He was completely unconscious and could not be woken up no matter what they did.
"God, hurry, hurry to the hospital."
"Hurry up and take him away. Where's the stretcher?"
The emergency doctors, nurses and Choi Hong-man's team members did not dare to delay and quickly carried the patient off the stage and went straight to the hospital.
Seeing Choi Hong-man being killed instantly, more than 11,000 Koreans were completely stunned by He Zhongqiu's punch, and the stadium was in deathly silence.
They have always believed that Choi Hong-man can defeat Wolverine, but the reality is too different.
In two seconds, the contrast was so great that they couldn't believe this reality, and were even unwilling to believe it.
"Wolverine, how many pounds of punching power can you reach now?" a reporter asked loudly.
"About 1000 pounds. I haven't measured it specifically." He Zhongqiu lied.
"1000 pounds?"
All the reporters present were shocked.
Tyson's public punching power data is close to 500 pounds. Wolverine is twice as strong as Tyson?
"Wolverine, I suggest you take a test," a reporter shouted.
"this is a good idea."
He Zhongqiu responded casually. He didn't want to disclose his data because there was no need.
On the ESPN commentary booth, Ethan Monies said: “Wolverine’s income has been calculated. PPV sales are 212.1 million, a total of $2.1 million, and Wolverine shares 47.5% of it, which is $0.9975 million.
Add to that $4000 million in appearance fees and a $5000 million bonus pool, and the total is $1.8975 million. Of course, this money is shared between him and the company.”
Sean Smith exclaimed: "My God, it made nearly $1.9 million in two seconds, and $0.95 million per second. Is there any machine in the world that can make more money than Wolverine?"
"In the sports world or the entertainment industry, no." Ethan Mones shook his head.
Frank Zhang prepared a celebration party at the hotel. After He Zhongqiu took a shower, he left the gymnasium with everyone else.
At the party, Chenglong complained: "I had to fly thousands of kilometers back and forth, and I only watched for two seconds. What do you think of this?" "Haha..."
Everyone laughed.
The next day, Choi Hong-man's agent announced that after examination, Choi Hong-man had a slight skull fracture and a severe concussion, and would need at least half a year to recover.
But his serious injury did not win sympathy from Koreans and the Korean media.
"KO'd in two seconds, Choi Hong-man is the shame of Korea!"
"A battle of shame. Our country must send out stronger warriors to fight Wolverine to the bitter end."
"A certain company invested $1 million, but got a humiliating war, which hurt the people's hearts and should apologize publicly."
"Choi Hong-man, the shame of Korean sumo wrestling! Now the shame of Korean boxing!"
On this day, Choi Hong-man was scolded like a dog by the Korean media. Fortunately, he was still in a coma, otherwise he would have been furious.
At ten o'clock in the morning, He Zhongqiu, Yang Xue and Chenglong flew to Yanjing, and Frank Zhang flew to Japan with an accountant to handle the income.
Next, He Zhongqiu returned to Zhangjiajie to continue filming the White Bone World.
While The Dragon King went to Hengdian, The Forbidden Kingdom was also about to start filming.
The crew of "White Bone World" will be in Zhangjiajie for some time, and then they will go to Hengdian to shoot there for a while.
The place of Hengdian is currently better built than Huai·Rou Film and Television City, but the construction of Huai·Rou is also being accelerated.
Huairou is located in the mountainous area, with a large outdoor shooting space, so war films can be shot there. This is not possible in Hengdian, so there is still a difference between the two film and television cities.
On September 9, the men's basketball team ended the Asian Championships in Qatar, winning the championship with eight wins.
October 9th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
On this day, Bai Gu Jie’s scenes in Zhangjiajie were almost finished and they would leave tomorrow and celebrate the festival together in the evening.
We had dinner together and ate mooncakes. It was the first time we celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival in more than ten years.
After being with Yang Xue, his mentality has changed, especially since he plans to get married next year. It means a lot to him because he will have his own family again, so he is no longer so resistant to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yang Xue was particularly happy about his changes. San Jin was now more humane.
On September 9, the crew of "White Bone World" finished the filming in Zhangjiajie and moved to Hengdian.
On the day of arriving in Hengdian, after Chenglong found out, he called Li Lianjie, Li Bing and Fan Bing to invite He Zhongqiu and Yang Xue to dinner.
He Zhongqiu brought Yang Xue with him, and Yang Xue called Tang Laosan, Bai Laosi, and Liu Yifei.
Yang Xue also figured it out. If Sanjin was always unsatisfied, it would definitely affect their relationship over time. She could only accept the reality.
"Hey, Zhongqiu and Yangxue are here."
"Brother Cheng, Brother Li."
After entering the hotel private room, several people greeted each other.
"Mr. He, Mr. Yang."
"Mr. He, Mr. Yang."
It was the first time that Li Bing and Fan Bing met He Zhongqiu. They felt a little nervous when they saw his huge and oppressive body.
"Li Bing, Fan Bing, hello."
After greeting everyone, Yang Xue introduced Tang Yan, Bai Bingbing and Liu Yifei.
Erbing was okay with Liu Yifei. After all, Liu Yifei and He Zhongqiu had always had a relationship. The scandal had been going on for several years, and the domestic entertainment industry all tacitly accepted that Liu Yifei was He Zhongqiu's woman.
Because of this, Huayi and Tangren were banned from Zhongqiu Film and Television, which also proves the relationship between Liu Yifei and He Zhongqiu.
But for Tang Yan and Bai Bingbing, one did not graduate from the Central Academy of Drama, and the other was a pure amateur, yet they directly became one of the heroines in Journey to the West: White Bone Realm, they were envious and jealous from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially after Iron Eagle King became a global hit and broke the $1 billion box office, ranking third in Hollywood box office history, people were even more envious.
"Yang Xue, will you continue to film in the future?" Chenglong asked casually after sitting down.
"I can't take pictures. There's no time." Yang Xue said with a smile.
Chenglong laughed and said, "That's a shame. The Iron Eagle King is a global hit, and you, the second female lead, are also famous. You will get at least $2 million in Hollywood pay. It's a shame that you won't even play in The Iron Eagle King ."
Fan Bing complimented, "Mr. Yang's Legend of Jiang Yuyan is also very popular, with very high ratings! Even higher than The Legend of Sword and Fairy."
Yang Xue didn't think it was a pity. Sanjin said that before they got married, he would give her 20% of the company's shares, and each of her and Sanjin's children would be given 5% of the shares.
Besides, without Sanjin, she would just be a small actor. How could she go to Hollywood?
After the dishes were served, Chenglong suddenly said, "Mid-Autumn Festival, let's stop killing each other. Next year's Spring Festival slot is for you, and we want the National Day slot."
"Brother Cheng, the box office of White Bone Realm may not be a big hit. What are you afraid of if you two fight against me alone?" He Zhongqiu teased.
"How much investment did the White Bone World have? How much investment did the King of Kung Fu have? Do you think we don't know?" Li Lianjie also spoke.
"That's right, the special effects are completely not on the same level." Chenglong agreed.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, how much investment will be made in the special effects production of the Bone World?" Li Lianjie asked.
"At least 6000 million US dollars," said He Zhongqiu.
Chenglong and Li Lianjie were helpless. 6000 million US dollars, in Hollywood, that would be a super production of at least 1.5 million US dollars. The special effects production cost of "The Forbidden Kingdom" was at most 1000 million US dollars, maybe even less than that. How could they compare?
He Zhongqiu smiled and handed two chicken wings to Yang Xue, saying, "Sister Xue, if you eat this, I wish our company will soar high, and I also wish that White Bone Realm will be a big box office hit, beating Yinghuang and Huayi."
"Okay." Yang Xue nodded with a smile.
Chenglong and Li Lianjie were also helpless and didn't say anything else.
The two felt that they could no longer work with Ying Huang Huayi. He Zhongqiu's momentum in the film industry was too strong now. The movie Iron Eagle King 1 made him unstoppable.
Hollywood capital is chasing him madly. He wants to make movies, and he has the resources and capital. It would be a great disadvantage for their movies to compete with He Zhongqiu's movies.
For example, if The Forbidden Kingdom and White Bone World were released at the same time, would it be able to win?
They are now very clear about this point. They will definitely not be able to compete with others, whether overseas or domestically.
Wolverine, who just made a billion-dollar box office, will suffer from a huge influence in the film industry, which will lead to one thing happening.
That is, the Bone World will definitely suppress the screening rate of The Forbidden Kingdom to the extreme. Without enough screens, the box office will definitely be dismal, and this has nothing to do with the quality of the movie.
“Lao Liu, this one is chewy.”
He Zhongqiu picked up another piece of chicken for Liu Yifei.
"Master, eat by yourself."
Liu Yifei took one look at the chicken butt and didn't even want the bowl. She pushed it to He Zhongqiu and took He Zhongqiu's bowl in front of herself.
"Then you eat this."
He Zhongqiu had no choice but to change it to a chicken leg, and Liu Yifei was satisfied.
"Bingbing, you..."
He picked up the chicken butt again and looked at Bai Bingbing, who shook her head hurriedly.
"Tangtang?"
"No."
"Brother Cheng, you..." He looked at Chenglong again.
"Eat it yourself." Chenglong said unhappily.
Li Lianjie said with a smile: "I heard that Zhou Xingxing likes to eat this, but it's a pity that he is not here."
He Zhongqiu looked at Li Bing and Fan Bing again. The two girls hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands, so he had to throw the chicken butt on the table.
"Bingbing, do you like this?" He passed the last chicken leg to Bai Bingbing.
"Yeah." Bai Bingbing nodded quickly.
"Tangtang, eat chicken breast to replenish your body."
"Well."
Tang Yan was a little depressed. Did her husband dislike her small breasts?
Humph, what Liu Laoer and Bai Laosi were given were chicken legs, and what they gave me was the cheapest chicken breast. Isn’t Liu Laoer still Liu Laoer?
"Wolverine should have taken in Bai Bing and Tang Yan as well, right?"
"Yang Xue and Liu Yifei aren't jealous either?"
Fan Bing and Li Bing were both guessing in their hearts.
