After receiving the trophy and $2,000 prize money for the lightweight champion of the "National Golden Glove Boxing Championship", Wang Lei, his grandfather, Sadler and others only spent one more day in Boston's Chinatown before returning to San Francisco. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before leaving, Wang Lei finally officially met his "future daughter-in-law" Zhou Yuwei.

Zhou Yuwei was still "pushed" by her sister Zhou Yuqiang to come over and meet Wang Lei in private.

Wang Lei talked to Zhou Yuqiang a few times, and already knew that Zhou Yuwei was a little tender-faced, and her personality was a little rebellious, afraid that she would be abrupt and afraid that she would scare away, so he didn't talk to her about any embarrassing or ambiguous topics, but just revolved around the topic of the movie.

learned from Zhou Yuqiang that her "future daughter-in-law" likes to watch movies very much, and she wants to go to Hollywood like her sisters, but instead of being an actor, she wants to be a director.

Ms. Zhou said she pestered her mother on her 16th birthday this year to buy her a camera.

Wang Lei had seen the camera, the shoulder-mounted camera of the 80s, an old-fashioned camera that could only be collected or recycled as garbage in his previous life, but now it costs tens of thousands of dollars.

If it weren't for the Zhou family opening a hotel in Boston's Chinatown, Zhou Yuwei's father Zhou Xianhe would still be a capable businessman and make a lot of money, I am afraid he would not be able to afford this camera.

However, a girl who is only 16 years old, still a Chinese girl, wants to go to Hollywood to be a director, not to mention the 80s, even 30 years later is unimaginable.

Wang Lei did not laugh at Zhou Yuwei's ideals, but praised her, feeling that she was more courageous than himself.

Brother's dream is just to be a screenwriter, and the director has to wait until he wins the Oscar for Best Screenplay and completely establishes himself in Hollywood.

Zhou Yuwei has obviously read the script of "Midnight Bell" written by Wang Lei, and she is very "complimentary" to Wang Lei, but it is a pity that her skills are too shallow to direct such a classic horror movie.

Wang Lei couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and said to her: "Don't you have a camera, why don't I write you a script that is simple and easy to shoot and has a very low cost?" ”

Zhou Yuwei shook her head: "No matter how low the cost of making a movie is, it will cost tens of thousands, I can't get it!" ”

Wang Lei said: "It doesn't take tens of thousands, a few thousand dollars is enough, it just so happens that I earned two thousand dollars from boxing, so I should invest it, and you can ask your mother or your sister for the rest, they love you so much, they will definitely give it!" ”

Zhou Yuwei's eyes widened: "What kind of movie do you want to make for a few thousand dollars?" It can't be that kind of nasty movie, right? ”

Wang Lei laughed and said: "You want to go there, even if you want to make that kind of movie, I can't write a script, I asked you to make a science fiction film... A sci-fi thriller to be exact. As long as you shoot well, you can take it to the Sundance Film Festival to be screened, and maybe you can win an award! ”

Seeing Zhou Yuwei's look of disbelief, Wang Lei briefly explained the content of the movie.

Of course, the movie Wang Lei is talking about is not "This Man is from the Earth", but the same enclosed space group drama film as "This Man is from the Earth", which cost less than 50,000 US dollars, and is said to have been completed in only a few days, and then won the Black Tulip Award at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival in 2014, and also won the Best Screenplay Award at the other two film festivals The sci-fi thriller "The Night the Comet Comed".

"The Night the Comet Comed" is also known as "Coherence" or "The Coherence Effect", which tells the story of a parallel space.

In his previous life, Wang Lei became interested in the ultra-low-cost "The Night the Comet Comed", which also had the title of a science fiction film, because he watched "This Man is from Earth", and watched it again.

After watching it, I found that this film has a rush to watch "Horror Cruise", at least the original kind heroine killed two of her own plots in the parallel world, which is very similar to the heroine of "Horror Cruise".

The film was filmed in 2013 and cost less than $50,000, and now it is only 85 years, plus Zhou Yuwei has a camera, and invited a few students who have never made a movie but are interested in being actors to act, and the cost of 2,000 US dollars may be enough.

Wang Lei originally wanted Zhou Yuwei to shoot the cheaper but box office super high box office and more famous "Smart: Ghost Shadow", but after thinking about it, forget it. This film is not very suitable for director Zhou Yuwei, who is only sixteen years old, not to mention that Zhou Yuwei is the "future daughter-in-law", so it is not good for her to direct horror films, and it is not good for her to become a "horror master" in the future.

Zhou Yuwei was really attracted by the story told by Wang Lei, and it didn't take long for her to decide to use this movie as her debut, so that Wang Lei could get the script for her as soon as possible. However, Zhou Yuwei rejected Wang Lei's $2,000 investment, saying that although she was poor, she was not short of a few thousand dollars, and the New Year's money given to her by her grandfather, parents and relatives during the Spring Festival this year added up to almost $3,000, and she had not used it yet.

Wang Lei was hit hard when he heard this.

How can this be reasonable, your family runs a hotel and my family also runs a restaurant, but my brother's New Year's money has never exceeded 100 US dollars, and he only got 80 US dollars during the Spring Festival last year, how can you have so much?

That's more than the prize money I earned from boxing this year!

Is it just because you're a girl, it's so fucking unfair!

Wang Lei, who was disgruntled, wrote the script of "The Night the Comet Comed" in just one night, and also made a simple storyboard.

Zhou Yuwei was very happy after getting the script, saying that after the film was made, he would definitely fill in his name in the most conspicuous position, and also added the word "boxing king" in front of the name, so that all audiences who have watched the film know that he is the screenwriter of this film.

Wang Lei was speechless.

……

After returning to San Francisco, Wang Lei resumed his daily days of going to school, going to the boxing gym to practice, and going to his grandfather's place at night.

Seven boxing fights at Boston Garden Arena made Wang realize his shortcomings.

For example, the footwork is not fast enough, the body is not flexible enough, and it is easy to get the opponent to control the pace of the fight when encountering a technical flow fighter like Roy Jones Jr.

Secondly, Wang Lei felt that his explosiveness was not strong enough.

Despite his record at Boston Garden Arena with seven knockouts and being considered by media reporters to be as explosive as a professional middleweight, Wang Lei was not satisfied.

Against Lamar Craig, he threw so many punches that he couldn't knock him out, and if he hadn't landed a collapse punch in the final round, I'm afraid the record of winning all knockouts would have been broken.

Ramar Craig is just a 130-pound lightweight amateur fighter, but if he meets a more durable professional fighter weighing more than 150 pounds next year, will he be able to knock out his opponent?

So Wang Lei can't wait to enhance his explosiveness.

After discussing with Sadler, Wang Lei increased the practice of footwork, body and squat.

If you want to be faster and more agile, footwork and body movement are essential exercises every day, and squats can enhance the explosiveness of heavy punches.

Boxing is different from other sports, and leg strength is important.

The more powerful the legs, the more explosive the punches. This is the same as the "power from the root" of national art.

Therefore, the most important thing in strength training in boxing is the strength of the squat. On the contrary, the power of the bench press is not very important, because the bench press is too strong, which will affect the speed of the punch.

Wang Lei practiced low-posture dynamic pile skills and walking at his grandfather's every night, resulting in the toughest exercise in his legs, and then practicing squats was a little easier, and the progress was very fast.

When he first came to Sadler's boxing gym, Wang Lei's squat test score was 200 pounds 12 times, and his ultimate strength was 305 pounds.

After less than three months of practice, it almost doubled.

When Sadler tested Wang Lei again in December, Wang Lei's data was completely different from the first test half a year ago.

Height: 175cm

Arm span: 177cm

Weight: 138 lbs

Fat percentage: 7 percent

Strength: Bench press 160 lbs 25 reps, ultimate strength 280 lbs; 12 reps of 300 pounds and 495 pounds of extreme strength

Punch power: 300 pounds in the left hand and 495 pounds in the right hand

100 meters speed: 10.56 seconds

Fitness: 4600 meters in 12 minutes

……

The power of the right straight punch is actually the same as the extreme strength of the squat.

The strength of the squat is really related to the explosive power of the punch.

According to Sadler, Wang's extreme squat power and heavy punch power are already comparable to that of a middleweight professional fighter.

But Wang Lei was still not satisfied, and wanted to increase the extreme power of the squat and the power of the heavy punch to more than 500 pounds.

But Sadler insisted that he slow down because Sadler thought Wang Lei was gaining weight too quickly.

Just two months after returning from Boston, he had gained 10 pounds from 128 pounds to 138 pounds.

Although all the gains are muscle, Sadler worries that by the time he competes at the World Amateur Boxing Championships next May, he will weigh more than 140 pounds, and he will not be able to fight.

Sadler wants Wang to weigh under 140 pounds and compete under 63.5 kilograms when he competes at the World Amateur Boxing Championships next May. And when he wins the World Amateur Boxing Championships and becomes a professional boxer at the end of the year, Wang Lei's weight should not exceed 147 pounds.

In professional boxing, 147 pounds is a welterweight weight, and Sadler wants Wang Lei to move into professional boxing at welterweight and then gain weight by one division each year.

Because only with such a steady weight gain can the strength keep up. The weight gain is too urgent, the strength can't keep up, and the fight in the boxing ring will not be satisfactory.

What's more, Wang Lei is only sixteen years old now, and he is still in the stage of growing his body, and his height and arm span are increasing every year. However, the growth of height and reach is different from the increase of weight, if the weight gains too fast, the height and reach do not keep up, flexibility and speed will inevitably decrease.

Wang Lei felt that what Sadler said seemed to be very reasonable, and was persuaded by him.

So Wang Lei carefully controlled his weight gain, and it was not until May of the following year that he gained one pound.

The weight gain was controlled, but the intensity of the workout at Grandpa's every night did not decrease, causing Wang Lei's fat ratio, endurance and explosiveness to increase rapidly.

The fat ratio dropped to about 6 percent, and the squat limit strength and heavy punch power successfully exceeded 500 pounds, and even broke through to 520 pounds.

The punching power comparable to that of a professional middleweight first-class fighter, even a heavyweight hunk like Chekov felt unbearable, and every time he was beaten in pain, he almost couldn't do it.

In addition, Wang Lei's 100-meter speed has also broken through to 10.40 seconds, and he is eligible to participate in the Olympic 100-meter dash.

After looking at Wang Lei's test data, Sadler's confidence in Wang Lei's participation in the World Amateur Boxing Championship increased to 100%.
