Chapter 242: Press Conference
After returning to the United States, Xia Ge was about to start his busy work.
Many people who work for Xia Ge now are not Chinese, so the Spring Festival is nothing to them, and the job is still work.
Today is February 8th, 17 days to go until the World No. 1 Challenge.
After the meeting with the entire event preparation team during the day, Wu Qi made an appointment with Wang Congcong, Lin Tao, Wen Ziren and Mark, and several big men to get together.
Taylor couldn't come over today, she went to China and delayed a lot of work in the United States, and her agent reprimanded her severely. So I'm going to work honestly today.
Everyone eats hot pot together, it is still relatively rare to eat hot pot in the United States, and Mark can't eat spicy, so this time I ate mandarin duck pot. And they're now in Chinatown, a Chinese-owned restaurant.
Now Xia Ge is relatively famous, the boss knows Xia Ge, and many Chinese in Chinatown regard Xia Ge as an idol. The boss was afraid that Xia Ge would be disturbed when he ate.
So I arranged a large private room for them.
Every time the waiter brought food over, he looked at Xia Ge with adoring eyes.
Xia Ge is used to this, and when the World No. 1 Challenge ends, it is estimated that his fame will be even greater. may really become the light of the Chinese.
Wang Congcong said enviously: "Now Lao Xia is the most famous person among the people I know." ”
"Hahaha, I don't really want to be a star. Xia Ge pretended to be forced.
"Ah, it's so angry. Come for a drink, I'm going to get you drunk today. Wang Congcong said angrily.
Think about yourself, all kinds of troubles in the domestic micro-fight, and the reputation is still average. I don't know anyone except the country, but what about Xia Ge.
"Let's have a toast!" Xia Ge said, raising his glass.
Everyone drank a lot of wine, Mark and Wen Ziren and red wine. Lin Tao, Xia Ge, Wang Congcong, and the three of them asked for liquor.
"Cheers!" a few people touched one.
After drinking, the atmosphere got up, and everyone talked about what interesting things had happened recently.
Lin Tao said with a bitter face: "I went back to my house this year to arrange a blind date for me, I met with the girl, she is an officer, and she is very capable of fighting! ”
"Hahaha, there are no photos, I'll take a look. Lao Lin, you are quite suitable for this kind of thing, and you don't care, unlike if I were introduced to me at home, I would definitely be frightened by the news outside. There's a news that says I change a woman every day, Nima, am I in good health!" Wang Congcong complained.
Several people spoke English, of course, to take care of Mark.
After all, he doesn't know Chinese, and Wen Ziren is actually good at Chinese.
Lin Tao didn't show everyone the photos. Just eat vegetables with a bitter face.
But Mark was very envious: "I envy you, King." I haven't been in a relationship yet. Hey, I don't know how to pursue girls. ”
"Holy, no, you're a billionaire now. What do girls don't have. It can't be any special fetishes, right?" exclaimed Wang Congcong.
As he spoke, he moved away from Mark a little.
Seeing his funny appearance, everyone cheered.
"Fuck off, I'm dedicated, okay? I'm religious, I'm going to take a good look and find someone I can marry. Mark said.
Xia Ge silently took a sip of wine, not daring to take the topic. I'm a little messed up emotionally.
"Lao Wen, why don't you talk much? are all big Hollywood directors, how many people have been killed!" Wang Congcong was particularly interested in this.
Wen Ziren shook his head, he was older than everyone else, so he was much calmer. And Hollywood has been mixed up for so long, and I have seen so many people of all kinds, so I wasn't so active just now.
But after drinking, I must have let go of a lot and began to brag.
"Actually, there aren't many, but you have to meet several in each play. Wen Ziren said calmly.
Xia Ge knew that this guy had made several movies, and it was estimated that there would be no less than ten short dramas or something.
Awesome!
He had only been in a relationship with Taylor. But this is absolutely impossible to say, in everyone's eyes, Xia Ge is a very good existence.
There have always been beautiful women around them, but they don't know that Xia Ge has been a monk.
exchanged their emotional views, and the relationship between several people was much closer.
The topic came to the event at the end of the month, Wen Ziren said: "Several major institutions have been negotiated. It's Xia Ge, are you really ready? It's not about money, I found that the boxers are very dissatisfied with you now, and they won't really want to kill you. ”
Wen Ziren's tone paused, and then said: "But they may really do something that blinds them and breaks their hands and legs." ”
Speaking of which, everyone still had some doubts about Xia Ge's strength, after all, Xia Ge had never shown superb fighting skills in front of them.
Everyone knows that Xia Ge is a genius, and his physical fitness seems to be good.
Compared with those professional fighters, both physical fitness and skill are much worse.
The people who participated in this challenge were all seasoned guys, and it can be said that they represent the top strength in the boxing world.
Wen Ziren knew that Xia Ge was not short of money, and because of the two major groups joining.
A lot of sponsorship funds have been withdrawn. The promotion began on the 10th of two days later.
Allow a full 15 days for publicity.
The reason why many companies donate generously, Wen Ziren didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart.
just wants to beat this Chinese who suddenly appeared in front of the global audience. Wen Ziren really didn't want the light of the Chinese who had finally appeared, and finally lost face and left him disabled.
"Rest assured, my strength is great now. Xia Ge said and pinched the chopsticks with his hand.
Wooden chopsticks don't look big, but if you really want to crush them, it's almost impossible.
Because the fingers are soft, the strength cannot be transmitted.
But when Xia Ge was exerting his strength, even the palms of his fingers were as hard as iron. With a little force, the chopsticks were crushed by him.
"Oh my God! That's a few hundred pounds of strength, right?" Wang Congcong exclaimed.
Lin Tao's originally calm heart also rippled. His marriage to the girl who was very good at fighting was inevitable, and now he wanted to learn some kung fu. lest after getting married, you won't be able to do your wife.
"How did you do it?Does Xia Ge have any secrets?Can I learn it?" Lin Tao asked.
"Seeing you so good, I suddenly want to make a Chinese kung fu movie! I feel better than Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee's kung fu." Wen Ziren also said excitedly.
Xia Ge didn't reveal any skills, he just broke ten thousand methods with one force.
"Come with me and do Tai Chi every day. The body will get stronger and stronger. Xia Ge said.
Everyone had expressions of disbelief, and Xia Ge was also helpless. This equipment can't be given to others, so I can only teach Tai Chi.
He is not a traditional Tai Chi, and his physical fitness will definitely improve after practicing. It's just that it doesn't work so quickly.
After seeing Xia Ge's real kung fu, Wen Ziren was not worried.
"Are you sure about racing? It's also a billion. Lin Tao asked.
He cares about racing, Xia Ge's racing level has never been seen by everyone, Lin Tao said that he was racing with Xia Ge, but he drove slowly, and he didn't know his strength.
"I'll test it tomorrow and you'll know when the time comes. Press conference the day after tomorrow. Xia Ge replied.
"Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Lin Tao nodded.
Xia Ge thought that he had nothing to do after the press conference, and said with some distress: "There is still more than half a month to compete, and I don't know what to do these days." ”
"I'll find you a driver and a boxer, and you'll be practicing every day these days. Let's keep it in touch. Wen Ziren said.
Now the two groups are cooperating with Xia Ge, and they both hope that Xia Ge can achieve results.
Instead of ending up as a joke, the so-called World No. 1 Challenge would have no impact.
Who will challenge in the future, what they want is to be an instant hit, and then continue to develop.
Xia Ge didn't need to practice at all, waved his hand and said, "Don't practice! You know my situation, it's useless to practice with different personalities." ”
Everyone doesn't know what to say about this.
Let's say that Xia Ge is inflated, people seem to really rely on other personalities. There are still many people who doubt Xia Ge, but as someone who knows Xia Ge, they still choose to believe him.
It was empty for more than ten days in the middle, which was indeed more troublesome.
You can't just play around in the United States every day, it's a waste of time.
"You can go to a few shows, now you can open up all the shows on Time Warner's side, they won't discredit you and will try their best to build momentum for you. Wen Ziren proposed again.
"It doesn't take much time. Xia Ge thought about it and said.
Attending a show is done in a few hours.
In fact, Xia Ge wanted to do something else, such as shooting some song MVs.
The few songs he got later have not been used, and the 10 songs of the album have not been filmed in the MV. 6 of them are songs in English. Many fans are urging him to release the MV.
Xia Ge looked at Wen Ziren and said, "Recently, you have sorted out the event and helped me shoot the MV." ”
Wen Ziren frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
Next, they discussed the songs they filmed, and Xia Ge came up with a song with a strong sense of rhythm.
It's called Cradles, and Xia Ge has it on his mobile phone, so he put it on Wen Ziren.
When the strange rhythm of the music sounds, Wen Ziren also enters his fantasy world.
Of course, he can understand the artistic conception expressed in this song.
Because Xia Ge had talked to him about the clown's script before, after listening to this song, he said: "This song can be combined with a movie, I talked to the company about shooting clowns you mentioned last time." ”
"The crowded room has been set up, and I'll be ready when the World No. 1 Challenge is over. If the crowded room succeeds, Warner will definitely say yes to the shoot. ”
The name of the song is Cradle, and it has an eerie and unique feeling. It's just right to use it in Mayhem Gotham City.
It can even be used as a clown's theme song.
Wen Ziren immediately promised to go and create a MV of more than 3 minutes based on the movie script that Xia Ge said.
As for the money, neither of them mentioned it, and it cost $120,000 to shoot a MV, which is a trivial matter at all.
The reason why Xia Ge wants to shoot the MV is really idle.
If you don't shoot him, you don't know what you're doing in the United States, rolling the sheets with Taylor every day?
That's too decadent, it's better to bring the good songs in your head to everyone.
I don't want everyone to like him, but it's a good feeling to shoot these and give them to fans who like you.
Today's meal was very happy, and Xia Ge didn't go back to Taylor's apartment. Today she was not at home, but followed Lin Tao and them to stay in the hotel.
After going back, he returned Chenxiao to Wenwen and Li Ruobai each made a phone call.
Chen Xiao said a few words casually, she was like a little sister, Xia Ge didn't put too much emotion into it. It's just that the little girl was also equipped to pit.
At the beginning, I sent him a lot of large-scale photos, and there was a reminiscent English song in my song.
Hey, it's all bad fate.
Two days later, Xia Ge and Time Warner, WPP Group, Mercedes, Boxing Association, YouTube and more held a press conference.
There are no well-known racers and boxers to come over today, and these will be reflected in a separate video later.
Because today's protagonist is only Xia Ge alone!
He wants to challenge the two major professional circles and let everyone know that half a month later, Xia Ge will make a shocking gamble with the top people in these two professional circles.
The $200 million reward has attracted countless news outlets.
Hundreds of media outlets from around the world gather at Shangri-La Hotel, thanks to two major media groups.
All major web portals and orthodox newspapers in China have reporters coming over.
At first, they didn't believe it when they received the invitation, but when they saw the details of the event in the invitation letter, they rushed over immediately after the organizer was supposed to have it.
This is a global event, and even the topic will not be weaker than the Olympics.
From the past to the present, no one has done such a feat for thousands of years. It is also supported by two of the largest groups in the world.
Of course, there is also the world's largest news conglomerate, and that is CCTV Media.
But now Xia Ge is Yang Ma's own son, the person who won glory for the country, and this time he also sent the most powerful reporter.
And there is also a special task, and after the interview, Xia Ge will have a separate meeting.
Xia Ge sat on the stage, countless media sat below, and dozens of microphones were placed in front of his mouth.
Many media outlets are not qualified to put microphones at all, and finally have to find the official to record.
For example, in several small European countries, although reporters came, they could only watch dryly.
Slightly awkward.
"The interview is officially on!" the host announced.
Before the interview, all the reporters already knew the process, and they came here to ask questions.
So when the host announced the start, all the people below raised their hands and pressed a piece of black pressure, if Xia Ge had a dense phobia, I was afraid that he would be scared.
Whoever asks questions is also particular, and they are all discussed.
So the first to get the opportunity were the people from CCTV.
"Sir, ask a question first. The host pointed to a male reporter.
This male reporter is known to Xia Ge, Zhu Lun. He has interviewed countless well-known figures and often followed leaders to various countries.
Zhu Lun got up generously and asked: "May I ask Xia Ge, why do you want to participate in this competition that looks like you have no chance of winning at all? And 200 million US dollars has also broken the prize money record of all competitions, this money is still provided by you privately I want to know, is there any hardship? If you are treated unfairly, I hope you don't worry, there is a powerful country standing behind you." ”
After learning the news at the beginning, everyone's first reaction was that Xia Ge had offended someone, and then they had to pay for it themselves and find their own guilt.
This time, Zhu Lun just wanted to confirm whether Xia Ge took the initiative and wanted to participate.
"Thank you for your concern, I initiated the event. I just want to prove myself and tell everyone in the world that in many industries, we yellow people are not weak with other races. Xia Ge replied with a smile.
