Chapter 176: Working with the Son of the King of Kung Fu
A boxer with a boxing career of more than ten years will accidentally sprain his old waist during training?
When Wang Lei heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Leonard, didn't he deliberately release smoke bombs to numb himself?
However, it didn't take long for Arum to call and say that Leonard's agent had called him, saying that Leonard's back injury was not light, and it would not be good in the short term, and the match with him would be postponed.
Not a few days or weeks, but until February 14 next year!
Wang Lei exploded as soon as he heard this date!
Next year, February 14, is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Chinese lunar calendar, that is, the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Because Wang Lei and the Zhou sisters have already booked to take turns to spend the New Year in San Francisco and Boston, this year's New Year Wang Lei and the Zhou sisters spent the New Year with the Zhou family in Boston, and next year they have to stay in San Francisco and spend it with their families.
However, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Lei still had to go to Boston with the Zhou sisters to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Zhou and his future parents-in-law.
That's why Wang Lei was very sensitive to the New Year and memorized the date.
As soon as he heard that Leonard actually wanted to postpone the game date to next year's Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Lei was immediately sure that Leonard's injury was fake.
This guy clearly found out that for Chinese, Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve is the equivalent of Christmas in the West, so he deliberately pretended to be injured and postponed the game date to Chinese New Year's Eve, so as to confuse his mind, affect his game state, and add a little advantage to his victory.
What's more, in the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve night match, I am afraid that few Chinese fans will come to Las Vegas to cheer for Wang Lei.
After all, Chinese Americans in the United States have to celebrate the Chinese New Year!
I have to say, Leonard is extremely cunning!
Wang Lei insisted on vetoing the request for a postponement, saying to Arum: "Tell Leonard, don't think I don't know he's cheating, it's impossible to interfere with me by postponing the game until Chinese New Year's Eve in China." I'd rather not fight him and jump straight to the light heavyweight division to challenge Abraham! β
Arum on the other end of the phone hurriedly persuaded: "Ray, you have signed a game agreement with Leonard, and the broadcast rights of the game have also been sold." According to the law. Your match cannot be cancelled, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract and a large amount of money will be compensated. I know you're worth billions, but you're paying a lot of money for this. It's not cost-effective! β
Wang Lei asked: "Can't cancel but can it be postponed?" β
Arum said: "That's right, there will always be accidents for fighters, in case a fighter is accidentally injured before the fight, you can't let him fight with an injury, postponement is a must!" β
"Then I'll move up to light heavyweight and fight Abraham first. What about relegation to Leonard in the second half of next year or the year after? β
"Well, so... It's not a breach of agreement, but it's not good for you to do it. If you beat Tammy Abraham next year and get the light heavyweight title, and then you are relegated to the super middleweight division, you will be stripped of the light heavyweight title! β
"It's okay, when I go back to the super middleweight division and beat Leonard, and after I have fulfilled the fight agreement, I can move up to light heavyweight and reclaim the title!"
"......" Arum was speechless for a long time before he said: "You will be promoted and demoted for a while, aren't you afraid that your state will be greatly affected?" β
Wang Lei said: "It's okay. I'll adjust it and not let the state suffer! β
"Okay!" Arum said helplessly: "I'll talk to Leonard's agent again, maybe it will make Leonard change his mind, after all, he wants revenge on you for a rematch, and he won't miss the game with you!" β
β¦β¦
Less than a day after Arum hung up the phone, he called again.
"Ray, Leonard changed his mind, he said that his back injury is not too serious, there is no need to postpone it until February next year, it can be postponed for ten days. Your competition is on December 30th, do you agree? β
The back injury is not serious. What about liars!
It's okay to be uninjured!
Did you give up the delay plan when you found out that your brother was not fooled, and deliberately only postponed the game for ten days in order to lie?
The cunning and hypocrisy of the Gentama!
"Ray, did you hear me say? How not to speak. Do you agree to a 10-day postponement? β
Hearing Arum's urging on the other side of the phone, Wang Lei pursed his lips and said, "I don't approve it, but you'd better tell Leonard that there will be no next time, if he plays tricks again." Don't even think about playing with me anymore! β
Wang Lei hung up the phone after saying that.
Today is the day of the premiere of "Boxer in Prison," and through his connections, Mr. Wang has asked Columbia Pictures to schedule the premiere in a newly built movie theater called "Ganges" in San Francisco.
Wang Lei plans to invite his grandfather and parents to attend the premiere.
Grandpa and parents were reluctant to go to the scene to watch him boxing, but they were still willing to go to the cinema to watch the movies he wrote and invested in and directed.
It's rare to attend the premiere with his family, and Wang Lei doesn't have time to play tricks with Leonard.
So after warning Leonard through Arum, Wang Lei didn't want to pay attention to the matter anymore.
After going to the bathroom to take a shower and putting on a suit prepared for him by Zhou Yuwei, Wang Lei went downstairs with Zhou Yuwei, who had already dressed up.
It was McKel who drove them to the Ganges Cinema today.
McKel, who was dressed in a neat black suit, had already driven the extended Daben to the apartment building, waiting for Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei to get in the car.
Wang Lei went over to open the car door for Zhou Yuwei, and waited until she went in before getting into the car.
After the extended Mercedes drove to the Ganges Cinema, Wang Lei's grandfather and parents had also arrived, and it was Nissen who sent them over.
The Ganges Cinema has already been crowded with people, and it is decorated like a Hollywood Academy Awards. Not only is there a long red carpet leading to the entrance, but there are also more than a dozen security guards in the same uniform to maintain order at the scene.
On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of media reporters and photographers with cameras took pictures of the arriving guests.
When Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei got out of the car, Tyson also arrived.
This "Black Prison Fighter" is a movie starring Tyson, and he has to attend the premiere anyway.
Fortunately, Tyson also knew that he couldn't mess around on such an occasion, so he only brought a black female companion to walk the red carpet, smiling and waving to the audience and media reporters on both sides along the way, acting honestly.
There are many Hollywood movie stars who came to cheer for "Black Prison Fighters" for the sake of Wang Lei and Chand Klohler's face, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are here, and even Stallone, who has no friendship with Wang Lei.
Among these movie stars, Wang Lei saw the person who surprised him the most.
Brandon Lee!
The Chinese name is Li Guoyi, the son of the king of kung fu, Bruce Lee!
How did he come. Is it because I heard that this "Black Prison Boxer" is a kung fu action movie directed by myself, so I came to see it?
Coming with Li Guoyan was a beautiful white girl, and Wang Lei guessed that this was most likely Li Guoyan's fiancΓ©e, Lisa Hughton. It is said to be a Hollywood production assistant. In his previous life, he chose to live in seclusion after Li Guozhi's accidental death.
Thinking that two years later, Li Guoyan would be killed by a real bullet accidentally fired by a prop gun, Wang Lei suddenly wanted to change his fate.
So Wang Lei and Zhou Yuwei stopped at the door, and when Li Guoyan and Lisa approached, they greeted him: "Hi, Brandon." Ms. Lisa, welcome to San Francisco! β
Li Guozhi was obviously a person who was not good at talking, and when he saw Wang Lei specially greeting him, he was a little stunned, and it took a long time before he responded stiffly: "Ah, thank you, Wang!" β
Wang Lei asked very enthusiastically: "Where are your seats, why don't we sit together, I have something I want to talk to you about!" β
"Well, well!"
A somewhat lukewarm response to Li Guozhi. Wang Lei didn't care, and after entering the theater, he and Zhou Yuwei naturally sat in the seats adjacent to Li Guowei.
As for the original owners of these two seats, Wang Lei said hello to the people in the theater and solved it.
After sitting down, Wang Lei went straight to the point: "Brandon, what have you been working on lately?" β
Compared with Li Guo's lukewarm performance, Lisa was pleasantly surprised.
Wang Lei, the highest-grossing screenwriter in Hollywood and the world boxing champion, has already been like thunder, seeing that Wang Lei is so enthusiastic about Li Guoyi, and asked him about making movies, mistakenly thinking that Wang Lei is for the sake of Li Guozhi and him both have Chinese ancestry. I want to find Li Guozhi to make a movie.
At that moment, Lisa couldn't help but reply for Li Guo: "Brandon has made two movies this year, "Blitzkrieg" and "Little Tokyo Murder", both of which played supporting roles. It's already been released. Because the production cost is not high, and the box office is not much, it can't be compared to your movie at all! β
"Oh, so he didn't take on a new film?"
"There is a "Killing City" with Dolph Runger, which is still in the preparation stage."
"That Dolph Runger who played Sue United Boxer in Rocky 4?"
"Yes."
"What a coincidence. I'd like to work with Dolph Runger! β
Wang Lei didn't lie, he wanted to find Long Ge to play the punisher who appeared in the second season of "Daredevil".
Wang Lei felt that Longer's tall and strong figure was very consistent with the comic image of "The Punisher", and he played the "Punisher" in the movie last year, although he did not wear the vest with the skull logo of the "Punisher", but the performance was much better than the two new Hollywood Punisher movies made more than ten years later, so Wang Lei instinctively thought of him.
As for Li Guoyi, Wang Lei wants to ask him to play the Chinese kung fu master "Shangqi" in Marvel Comics based on his father Bruce Lee.
Wang Lei plans to let Li Guozhi's "Shangqi" make a cameo appearance in a few episodes of "Daredevil" and "Spider-Man" episodes, and then make an independent series for him, and then make a movie if he performs well.
However, Wang Lei knew that Li Guozhi had been making movies since then, except for filming a TV series called "Kung Fu Circle" when he debuted in 85, and asked him to give up the big screen and act in a TV series, and I don't know if he would be willing.
Sure enough, when Wang Lei proposed his invitation to Li Guoyan, Li Guoyan had a displeased look on his face, neither refused nor agreed, but was silent.
However, Lisa was a little interested in Wang Lei's proposal and asked, "Wang, did you buy the adaptation rights of several superhero characters from Marvel, just to make dramas?" β
Wang Lei said: "Of course not, if the drama has a good response, it is natural to make a movie." β
"Is it a movie like last year's 'Batman'?"
"If I write and direct it, it will only be better and more popular!"
"I said yes for Brandon, and we'll talk about working together after the premiere, right?"
"Brandon is so lucky to have a girlfriend like you, trust me, none of you will regret it!"
Wang Lei was very satisfied with Lisa's choice, stopped talking, shifted his eyes and began to enjoy the movie.
As soon as the lights dimmed, "Prison Fighters" began to play. (To be continued.) )
