"May I ask Director Li Xiaole, on what basis did you set up a production fee of $6 million per episode for this series?" A middle-aged male reporter from ABC News stood up and asked.

"Because China's past era was more refined than any other country of the same period, if you want to restore the world at that time, the cost is naturally relatively high," Li Xiaole said as a matter of course.

"So how many ratings do you think you're going to get in the U.S. for making a series without any white actors at such a big cost?" The ABC reporter jumped to the most critical issue, the reporters' ears were pricked up, Li Xiaole said too many big words at this press conference, but they were all conceptual, the reporters wanted to leave a truth, and when Li Xiaole was defeated in the future, they could take it out and laugh at him.

Zeng Zhiwei, who barely understood this sentence in English, hurriedly dragged Li Xiaole and signaled him not to express his position, but Li Xiaole said disapprovingly: "According to the requirements of the ratings, it should be on the basic line of 8.35 million viewers, but I personally think there should be more." ”

8.35 million? The American reporters all glanced at each other, and after a moment of stunned, they all showed a satisfied smile, okay, this guy finally left a specific number, and it was indeed the style predicted by Li Jesus in advance, but this time everyone listened to it as a joke, 8 million viewers...... Even first-class American dramas may not be able to achieve it, can a Chinese drama starring all Chinese have this ability?

In this way, the press conference ended in a hot mood with different emotions, Ha Ji Won got up from his seat and complained dissatisfied with Li Xiaole: "You guy, why are you stealing the limelight from me, I just obviously shifted the focus of the reporter to me, and you will make up two shots after the most recklessness, and my page will be smaller tomorrow......"

"River Chief." Li Xiaole took her hand and kissed it, looked at her and said gratefully: "You don't have to deliberately let yourself stand in the way to protect me, these media always want to target me, even if you deliberately rush out to say these big words, they will not let me go." Ha Ji Won's personality has always been gentle, how can she say that she is "the best actress in Asia", she just wants to stand in front of herself to relieve the pressure of public opinion on her shoulders.

"Who said I was for you~~" Ha Ji Won withdrew his hand with a smile, stretched his waist with a pretty face, and said: "Usually I see you bragging so much on camera, I think you are like this, I have long wanted to give it a try, and today I came to blow it myself to find out that it was so cool to brag in front of all the media~~~Oops~~ This girl, the best actress in Asia, no longer has to pretend to be weak and modest, and suddenly I feel that this world is simply too beautiful~~"

"Huh......?" Li Xiaole pretended to be crazy and stupid, and didn't know how to answer, so he muttered in his heart, sure enough, ...... Every actress is a narcissistic maniac at heart......

Seeing the couple Li Xiaole and Ha Ji Won talking and laughing on stage, many people in the audience were whispering, this pair of Asian lovers really smelled like each other, and their arrogant appearance was a moral ......

James Murdoch took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Cheng Long, the spokesman this time, and said goodbye with a smile: "Cheng, I hope you can really meet the expected ratings this time." ”

"Well, I hope so......" Cheng Long smiled stiffly, but felt a huge pressure in his chest, so many Hollywood stars came to dub it, Li Xiaole's move is really amazing, and the pressure on Hong Kong actors is really too great...... If that fails...... I'm afraid it will become all the jokes......

On the other hand, Nicholas Tse watched things, and asked Zeng Zhiwei with some concern: "Brother Zhiwei, do you know that Bruce Lee had a large audience when he filmed "The Green Hornet"? ”

"I don't know......" Zeng Zhiwei shook his head with a wry smile: "I just know that the version of "The Green Hornet" was stopped because of unsatisfactory ratings......"

Nicholas Tse immediately stopped talking when he heard this...... Many Hong Kong actors here regard Bruce Lee as their goal, but it turns out that what they are doing now is something that a generation of Chinese superstar Bruce Lee has never done...... Is it really possible for them to do it......

In such a situation, Nicholas Tse couldn't help but complain in his heart that Li Xiaole was a little too high-profile this time...... I'm afraid the entire crew will be burdened with this suffocating psychological baggage like him......

After this press conference ended, all Hong Kong actors were a little restless, whether it was Zeng Zhiwei, Zheng Shaoqiu, Huang Rihua and other legendary actors in old Hong Kong films, or Nicholas Tse, Zheng Jiaying and other young people, they were all tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep, and today's day was like a dream for them. They are excited about the support of so many Hollywood stars, but they are also worried that they will not be able to complete such an unprecedented series.

At night, it rained heavily in Los Angeles, which has always been sunny, and there was lightning and thunder all night, Nicholas Tse, who was lying on the bed in the hotel room, imagined today's press conference, all kinds of emotions were surging in his heart, and he couldn't fall asleep over and over again in bed, he always felt that he didn't do something sorry for the role of Yang Kang, he just imagined the style of the original Miao Qiaowei, and his heart began to panic, what could he do to sit better? In martial arts films, one of the biggest selling points is martial arts, and he can only work hard here.

Thinking of this, Nicholas Tse got up at four o'clock in the morning after a night of light sleep, walked to the gym alone, and wanted to play sandbags for exercise, but as soon as he walked to the gym floor, he heard a very dense hitting sound of "ping-pong" from inside, and couldn't help but be very surprised, there were still people in the gym at this time!? Which madman is it?

When he slowly walked to the door of the gym, he had already seen Huang Rihua, Zheng Shaoqiu, and Zeng Zhiwei carrying wooden stakes...... Zheng Jiaying, who was wearing a T-shirt next to her, looked at the gym from the crack in the door in a daze......

"Qiu Guan, Brother Zhiwei...... Why are you here? Nicholas Tse looked at his watch in surprise, making sure that it was only four o'clock in the morning Los Angeles time, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Tingfeng, you're here too." Zeng Zhiwei smiled and came over and hugged Nicholas Tse's shoulder, turned his head to Zheng Shaoqiu and smiled: "How is Qiu Guan?" I'll win, give money. ”

Zheng Shaoqiu smiled helplessly and shook his head, leaned the wooden stake against the wall, took out five hundred dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to Zeng Zhiwei.

"Ha Luha, Qiu Guan has a treat for breakfast today." Zeng Zhiwei took the banknote and put it on his nose and sniffed it, and his funny appearance amused everyone~~

It turns out that all these Hong Kong actors have the same idea, that is, they feel that they can't drag "Condor Shooting" this time, and they all want to make more preparations, and everyone wants to go with Nicholas Tse, and they all want to start from under their skills first.

For example, Huang Rihua and Zheng Shaoqiu, who have been famous for a long time, would exercise their skills every day when they were young, but as they got older, they had not been trained in martial arts for more than ten years. They finally realized that they couldn't handle it casually, so they all got up at 4 a.m. and went to the gym.

"You're all outside, who is practicing inside?" Nicholas Tse was a little surprised, obviously they were not the first to come, there were still people who arrived before them, could it be Liang Chaowei and Cheng Long?

Zeng Zhiwei made a gesture of "see for yourself", Nicholas Tse walked over, looked through the crack in the open door, and saw two figures in front of the wooden stake, driving the pile quickly...... They looked very young from a distance, and after a closer look, Nicholas Tse opened his mouth slightly, and the two people who were already drenched in sweat turned out to be Li Xiaole and Ha Zhiyuan

Just look at Ha Chi Yuen, who is biting his lips and trying to hit the wooden stake, although his hands are trembling with pain, he still beats a set of Wing Chun 108 styles heartily.

And Li Xiaole next to him is even more terrifying, his movements are obviously different from Ha Ji Yuan's Wing Chun small movements, it is completely a big opening and closing, fast and strong, every punch, every kick on the wooden stake is "bang", the wooden stake vibrates violently, making people feel extremely shocked......

Nicholas Tse looked at it and his heart was shocked, you must know that Li Xiaole is the director, he is also busy before and after the press conference, he is the busiest and most tired, why does he still have time to come here to train in the early morning, and what is even more terrifying is that his skills are too amazing...... This speed, frequency, and strength seem to far exceed those of them......

"How is it, Tingfeng, do you still think he is not qualified to serve as Guo Jing?" Zeng Zhiwei squinted his eyes at Nicholas Tse and asked, last time he and Cheng Long didn't succeed in protecting him, Nicholas Tse was very unconvinced.

"I can do it too...... It's still a little over a month. Nicholas Tse gritted his teeth unconvinced, he finally realized that everyone was unwilling to go to the gym for anything, and he was really a little ashamed of Li Xiaole's skills...... The director is younger than him...... Why can he have such a level, is he training at 4 o'clock in the morning during this time......?

"Don't worry, you have a chance, I heard that Director Li has found more than 10 martial artists of various factions, let's start from the basics again...... In the past few months, I'm afraid we have ...... to it" Zeng Zhiwei squinted his eyes and patted Nicholas Tse's shoulder, but turned his head and noticed that Huang Rihua and Zheng Shaoqiu were also eager to try, and nodded in their hearts, it seems that Li Xiaole not only stimulated the actors with Hollywood stars, but also set an example so that these old actors had to take this "supporting role" role seriously.

Zeng Zhiwei took a deep breath, and his heart couldn't help but fluctuate, how many years have it been, how many years have I not seen this kind of high-spirited feeling in the crew, isn't this the spirit of self-improvement of Hong Kong entertainers more than ten or twenty years ago~~!! This night, he seemed to return to the era when he was young, when his blood was boiling every day......

Liang Chaowei and Liu Qingyun, who had just gone downstairs in the distance and were still a little sleepy-eyed, saw a bunch of people crowded at the door of the gym, and they all looked at each other helplessly, smiled bitterly, touched their heads and went upstairs again.
