Chapter 187: Re-invitation to the K-1 Competition

After spending the New Year back and forth between Boston and San Francisco, Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei came to Netflix's headquarters in New York again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than half a year of preparation and casting, "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" are finally about to start filming.

Spider-Man is Marvel's most popular superhero, and his status in the hearts of American comic book fans is estimated to be second only to DC's Superman and Batman, and it is not comparable to Daredevil and Jessica Jones.

The X-Men are also the fist products of the comics, and the fans are no less than Spider-Man's.

The filming of these two TV series naturally touched the hearts of countless American fans.

After all, "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones", which were released successively last winter, were so wonderful that although they were only thirteen episodes, they were regarded by countless American comic fans as the most successful series of adaptations, with ratings of more than 95.

Even Stan Lee, the father of Marvel, has been so impressed with the two series that he has even contacted Netflix for a cameo appearance in the next season and the upcoming "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series.

The episodes of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" were outlined by Wang Lei, and more than a dozen screenwriters from Netflix changed their drafts nine times, and finally came up with a script for the first season that satisfied Wang Lei and decided to start filming.

is still thirteen episodes in one season, Wang Lei thinks that if he wants to make a high-quality film, it is not obvious that the plot is dragging on and lengthy, and thirteen episodes in one season is the best.

The villain of the first season of "Spider-Man" is the Green Goblin, played by an actor named Jeff Bridges. And Spider-Man's girlfriend is Gwen Stacy, not Mary Jane in the Spider-Man trilogy filmed by Sony in her previous life, and the actor is Vera Farmiga, who was selected by Wang Lei from the Netflix interview list.

is two years older than Spider-Man's actor Tobey Maguire, but the two look very compatible when they stand together, absolutely golden boy and girl, and their appearance is very high.

Wang Lei plans to learn from the "cameo madman" Stan Lee in his previous life, and make a cameo appearance in the series of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men". This was followed by cameo appearances in all Netflix series such as "Friends", "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones".

Of course, only a few minutes of cameos, too long Wang Lei is not interested!

However, Zhou Yuwei is very interested in the superpower series "X-Men" and wants to play a role in it.

"X-Men" has two Chinese women, one is called Twinkle and the other is Li Huanhuan.

The role of Li Huanhuan has not appeared in the X-Men movie in the previous life, but the flicker has been played by Fan Ye.

Wang Lei thought of the flickering image played by Fan Ye in his previous life, and without saying a word, he asked the screenwriter of Netflix to add this role, so that Zhou Yuwei was addicted.

Of course, there are only a few episodes of the plot, and it will not be a resident character.

Zhou Yuwei, as Wang Lei's fiancée, is also a well-known female director with a global box office of more than 600 million, and it is impossible for her to stay in New York all the time to make dramas.

Wang Lei put forward three requirements for the role of Flash.

First: There should be no kissing scenes and hugging scenes, and it is best not to have any physical contact with the male characters in the play;

Second: You can't write the flicker to death, and you can't let her be humiliated;

Third: The flashing image must be good, cool, and make the audience like it rather than hate it.

Wang Lei's three requests made Netflix's screenwriters complain in their hearts, but no one dared to object.

Who made Wang Lei the behind-the-scenes boss of Netflix, and Zhou Yuwei the future boss lady!

So, Zhou Yuwei's version of the flashing character was released, and the dress was basically the same as that of Fan Ye in the previous life, Wang Lei was itchy to see it, and he couldn't wait for Zhou Yuwei to dress up like this to achieve good things with him!

After spending almost two months in New York, Wang and Zhou returned to San Francisco.

During this time, Chand Cohen came to him and wanted to work with him on a big-budget movie.

Wang Lei threw out the storyboard script of "Jurassic Park" that had already been drawn, and asked him to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic to produce lifelike dinosaur special effects, and if successful, he would make this movie.

As for the cost, Wang Lei invested 40 million, accounting for 70% of the revenue and the copyright of all peripheral products, while Chand Kohler invested 25 million, accounting for 30% of the income.

Chand Cohen originally felt that he was at a loss, worried that he would not be able to recover 30% of his income, but Wang Lei said that after the film could at least receive a billion US dollars at the global box office, he stopped talking.

The missed "Home Alone" and "The Sixth Sense" have already made Chand Kohler still regret it, so he decided to believe Wang Lei once this time.

A few days after returning to San Francisco to rest, Wang Lei went to Las Vegas to cheer for Foreman's title defense.

Foreman, who defeated Tyson again to become the heavyweight champion, finally paid $20 million this time, while his opponent Tommy Morrison only paid $3 million.

In the original timeline, Foreman had fought Tommy Morrison once before defeating Mitchell Muller to become the boxing champion, losing to Tommy Morrison on points.

It was the only two defeats before Foreman regained the title, the first being to Holyfield.

The battle between Foreman and Holyfeldman did not change the fate of the current world, and still lost to Holyfield, Wang Lei was curious about the outcome of Forman and Tommy Morrison this time?

Tommy Morrison is not only a white boxer, not only tall and good-looking, it is said that many women in the United States favored him after seeing his white-eyed wolf image in "Rocky 5" last year, and regarded him as Prince Charming. And the American media regarded him as the "hope of the white man".

It's a pity that the white man's hope did not create a miracle to defeat Foreman as in the original timeline, although he punches hard, but the speed and consistency of his punches are not enough, and Foreman, who has trained several times with Wang Lei, a middleweight boxing champion with super fast punching speed and super quick reaction speed, is not comparable to his previous life.

With only four rounds to play, Tommy Morrison was hit in the chin with a backhand punch from Foreman and fell to the ground, much to the disappointment of white fans and the media.

White people's hopes are dashed!

After successfully defending his title after defeating Tommy Morrison, Tyson's agent, Don King, approached Arum again, hoping that Arum would allow Foreman to play Tyson again.

Arum was a little excited, but before he could say yes to Don King, Holyfield, who had already announced his comeback, asked his agent to come to the door.

Holyfield is also looking to reclaim the three heavyweight belts that once belonged to him.

Arum knew that Foreman must be eager to get revenge on Holyfield, so he asked Foreman for his opinion.

Sure enough, Foreman chose the returning Holyfield as his opponent for the next game.

As a result, Arum ditched Don King again and soon reached an agreement with Holyfield's agent that Foreman and Holyfield would match the rematch on June 12 at the Caesars Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City.

The abandoned Don King is depressed!

Frustrated, Don King soon had another idea, and he set his sights on the heavyweight crown of the new boxing organization, the WBO.

Since the establishment of the WBO organization in '88, it was not until February of this year that there was a heavyweight boxing champion.

And the boxing champion was also the heavyweight champion of the '88 Seoul Olympics, and at the end of the '88 year, he fought the new boxing champion Holyfield, who beat Holyfield to a heart attack and retired Ray Mercer.

Ray Mercer was defeated by Tyson shortly after defeating Holyfield to become the new heavyweight champion, losing the three heavyweight belts he had just arrived.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, Ray Mercer has become the heavyweight champion of the WBO!

And he is also the first heavyweight champion since the establishment of the WBO!

Don King wants Tyson to fight Ray Mercer again, take away his WBO belt, and then use it to challenge the winner of the rematch between Foreman and Holyfield for a heavyweight four-organization matchup.

Unfortunately, Ray Mercer was not fooled this time.

No matter how much money Don King paid, he insisted on not fighting Tyson, and Don King was so depressed that he almost vomited blood!

Ray Mercer's chosen opponent is Super Heavyweight runner-up in '88 and Riddick Bowe, who entered professional boxing in the same year.

Then, in a tragic way, he was defeated by Ricdiq Bow and lost his newly acquired WBO belt.

Now it's Ray Mercer's turn to be depressed!

Why does my brother lose the championship belt every time he wins the boxing belt?

Brother's luck is too bad!

On the contrary, Don Kim was overjoyed and immediately went to Riddick Bow's agent, and finally succeeded in convincing Riddick Bow to agree to fight Tyson.

Wang Lei, who knew the news, was surprised and moved by this game.

You must know that Riddick Bow, who had never fought with Tyson in his previous life, Wang Lei was curious about what would happen when the two of them fought?

It's just that Don King scheduled the match between Rydick Bow and Tyson on June 11, a day before the rematch between Foreman and Holyfield, at the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.

It was too troublesome to run back and forth to two places to watch the game in one day, and it was impossible for Wang Lei not to run to watch the game between Tyson and Riddick Bow, so he had to give up.

Anyway, to be able to watch Tyson and Riddick Bow on a pay-TV channel, you don't have to go to Las Vegas to see it live.

Wang Lei began training, not that Arum arranged him to defend his title opponent in the next match, but that he played with him at Forman's request.

Foreman wanted to defeat Holyfield to avenge the defeat last time, so he asked Wang Lei for help.

Wang Lei has gained weight to 175 pounds, but his punching speed and agility have not diminished, making him a good candidate for emulate former welterweight fighters Holyfield and Foreman.

And Wang Lei's imitation ability is also very good, after carefully studying Holyfield's game video, the fight is very similar to Holyfield's style.

After a month of actual combat training with Foreman, Wang Lei received another invitation from Japan.

Kazuyoshi Ishii, the director of the Japan Shodo Museum, still did not give up and invited him to Japan to participate in the K-1 competition.

Wang Lei still ignored it, but when he saw that the name of Peter Azi was on the list of participants for this year's K-1 competition, he couldn't help but be moved!

Peter Azzi, the star of the K-1 tournament, nicknamed "The Fighting Tyrant" and "The Dutch Lumberjack", holds a record of 836 kilograms for the power of the leg sweep.

This guy actually appeared a few years in advance?

Well, Peter Aziz is a rare opponent, so let's go to Japan to meet him! (To be continued.) )
