Chapter 162: The Ring Becomes a Podium
When Chen Jie appeared in front of the Chinese Grand Theater again, except for Hong Jinbao and Will Smith who were by his side. Wrinkled Arms and Alain Ryder Jr. didn't come over today. Even Zhao Yuzhi didn't come over. There's no way she's still sleeping in her hotel room!
Chen Jie, like the previous two days, was wearing a long coat. At 10 o'clock on time, Chen Jie walked into the ring. When Chen Mingli appeared in the ring, the onlookers in the audience actually remembered a cheer! Chen Jie waved his hand to the crowd to signal everyone to be quiet, then bowed to the crowd and said, "I don't know if any friends want to be on stage today?" ”
As soon as Chen Jie's words fell, a tall middle-aged yellow man walked up. After coming to the ring, the yellow man bowed to Chen Jie and said
"Hello Mr. Chen, I know that my junior brother made a lot of trouble for you here yesterday! I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my junior brother! ”
As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, Chen Jie remembered that he was brain-dead yesterday. looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I really want to owe you that brain-dead junior brother a duel." I wonder if he's here today? ”
The crowd of onlookers all laughed when they heard Chen Jie say this.
"He didn't come over today, he's still lying in the hospital!" The middle-aged man said.
"Why, isn't his leg okay yet? No, I didn't hit him hard yesterday! Chen Jie asked curiously.
"It's not a leg problem, it's something else." The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment.
In fact, his brain-dead junior brother has been having a high fever since he woke up yesterday, and he has been talking nonsense. No matter who he saw, he said loudly, "Don't come, I don't dare anymore." However, he would feel very embarrassed if he told the truth at this time, so he didn't say that his junior brother was so scared by Chen Jie that he hadn't recovered yet.
"So you're here to fight in place of your junior brother today!" Chen Jie looked at the middle-aged man and said.
"Yes." The middle-aged man replied, "Although I know that I am not Mr. Chen's opponent, I would rather be injured under Mr. Chen's hands than let Taekwondo bear the reputation of not daring to fight!" ”
Chen Jie said after looking at the middle-aged man for a while
"First of all, you have always been a challenger, and I have always been a passive one. So don't feel like I'm bullying you! All of this is a good thing that your brain-dead junior brother drove out! Secondly, I want to make it clear that no one has ever said anything about taekwondo. It's your brain-dead brother who has repeatedly insulted Chinese kung fu. It is also advertised as representing Taekwondo. So your taekwondo reputation is thrown out of your own! Finally, if you're coming to challenge me on your own behalf, I'm welcome, but if you're representing your brain-dead brother, then I want you to be prepared. I'll teach you a great lesson. It's the price of insulting Chinese kung fu to your brain-dead junior brother! Do you understand? ”
The middle-aged man said after listening to Chen Jie's words, thinking for a while
"I see."
"So tell me, are you challenging me on your own behalf, or are you representing your junior brother to complete yesterday's unfinished battle?" Chen Jie asked.
"I still choose to go out on behalf of my junior brother, although I know that this is very likely to hurt, but when my junior brother challenges you, it is in the name of taekwondo. I can't tarnish taekwondo because of me. The middle-aged man said.
Chen Jie looked at the middle-aged man and nodded, "You are a very good martial artist." I respect your decision. After speaking, the middle-aged man hugged his fists and saluted, "Please." ”
The middle-aged man took a pose as soon as Chen Jie's words fell, and walked over to Chen Jie step by step. The guide stopped when he was still two steps away from Chen Jie. Chen Jie always looked at this middle-aged man with a posture of asking!
I saw that this middle-aged man suddenly kicked Chen Jie with a side kick, and it could be seen that this middle-aged man was indeed much better than his junior brother's kung fu, at least he was not jumping around like his junior brother.
Just when the middle-aged man raised his leg and kicked at Chen Jie, Chen Jie sat in a movement that surprised Hong Jinbao and Will Smith. I saw Chen Jie step forward quickly. Before the middle-aged man could react, a double high-palm hit hit the hands and arms of the middle-aged man's chest, but unlike yesterday, the middle-aged man did not fall, but flew directly Chen Jie's slap and flew out. I stopped when I knew I had hit the guardrail of the ring.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Jie in surprise, although he had already heard how powerful Chen Jie was. But in the eyes of this middle-aged man, Chen Jie's kung fu may not be very powerful. Even if it's better than your own kung fu, it shouldn't be much better. As for Chen Jie's breaking of the ring pile, in his opinion, it should be that the ring pile has already been moved. But at this moment, he was knocked out by Chen Jie just in front of him, so that the middle-aged man finally understood that Chen Jie's kung fu was really as rumored to be, even more powerful than the rumors, because this middle-aged man checked his body and found that there was nothing wrong. How precise is this power control to knock yourself several meters away without any injuries!
"Thank you for your mercy, I'm no match for you." The middle-aged man bowed to Chen Jie and said.
"It's nothing, I see that you are much more pleasing to the eye than your brain-dead junior brother. And your respect for the martial arts you have learned has touched me. Forget it! If it's okay, you might as well go down. Chen Jie said.
The middle-aged man bowed to Chen Jie again and walked out of the ring.
When the middle-aged man walked out of the ring, Chen Jie hugged his fists at the heavy responsibility of the audience and said, "Is there any friend who originally intended to come on stage to teach?" ”
The crowd fell silent. After Chen Jie shouted three times in a row, no one came to the ring. Chen Jie was not shouting at his opponent either. At this time, according to the usual management, the staff brought up two wooden stakes, and Will Smith also stepped into the ring. Chen Jie began to teach Will Smith to start punching in front of everyone again!
Many people in the crowd of onlookers saw that there was no good show to watch, and they all walked into the cinema with their tickets in their hands. However, there are still many kung fu fans standing in the audience and comparing with Chen Jie.
On this day, Chen Jie watched it for an hour, and he read it very calmly! When Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao returned to the hotel, Wrinkle Huai hurriedly called the two to his side after seeing them.
"Uncle Huai, why are you so happy?" Chen Jie asked with a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Hehe, Applejack, guess what the box office of our "Ip Man" premiered yesterday?" Wrinkled said with a smile on his face.
After hearing Wrinkled Huai's words, Hong Jinbao looked at Wrinkled Huai expectantly. Even fools know that it must be the movie "Ip Man" that has achieved very good results, and Wrinkled Huai will show such a happy expression. And as the director of this movie, Hong Jinbao now can't wait to know what amazing results the premiere of "Ip Man" has achieved!
"Looking at Uncle Huai's appearance, you know that it must be good. But I don't know the exact number. Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Hehe, you little slippery head. I can't hide anything from you! Wrinkle said with a smile: "I went to 20th Century Fox this morning to watch the premiere results of "Ip Man". It really scared the hell out of me. ”
"Uncle Huai, don't sell your old man. It's tickling in my heart. Hong Jinbao said.
"Hehe, okay, then I won't tease you." "Our film was released in 650 theaters across the United States yesterday, and the box office on the first day was $3.5 million!" The average attendance rate has reached more than 8 percent, and now 20th Century Fox is discussing with the theater chain to expand the scale of the release! ”
"$3.5 million!" Hong Jinbao said in surprise.
Although this box office is not very high for the whole United States, it is a discourse movie. This movie is the best result of Chinese films in the United States after Li Xiaolong's death! And movie tickets in the United States are different from those in Hong Kong. A movie ticket in Hong Kong is about 10-15 Hong Kong dollars. And in the United States direct mail 3-5 dollars. And the movie "Ip Man" is not a well-known director because there are no well-known actors. is still a Chinese-language movie, and the price of Fox and the theater chain is $3.5 a ticket after negotiation. This is still Fox is optimistic about Chen Jie's crazy publicity plan to put himself in the ring, adding $0.5, otherwise the ticket price of the movie "Ip Man" will be directly mailed to $3.
$3.5 million means millions of people walked into theaters on the day it premiered.
