What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 409 Only choose the right one

Zhang Shisan's Guoshu Alliance Martial Arts Hall settled in Los Angeles, and instantly exploded.

Not just in Los Angeles, but throughout North America.

And this is not because of Zhang Shisan's star effect.

It's not just because of the popularity of Kungfu in Huaguo.

The most important thing was that on the day of the opening, the heavyweight mixed martial arts champion Bahari went to kick the gym, but was beaten half to death by a Chinese kung fu master in the blink of an eye.

Huaguo Kung Fu is amazing again.

Wang Zhen's victory over Bahari may not be as sensational as the contest between Zhang Shisan and Bobby Nash, but it is definitely more shocking.

The size of the two is too different.

The contrast is even greater.

Huaguo Kung Fu broke the disadvantage of body shape.

The division of "heavyweight" in many fighting competitions is useless in front of Huaguo Kung Fu.

It also breaks the age limit.

If Wang Zhen was included in the fighting competition, he might have retired long ago.

When this matter was reported back to China, it also caused quite a stir.

However, is this the end of the matter?
No!

Who is Zhang Shisan?

How could he let it go.

It's good to kill chickens to warn monkeys, but Bahari is obviously not that "chicken".

"Have you found out who it is?" Wantong looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Taekwondo Alliance, or Karate Alliance?"

Wantong naturally didn't come here specifically for this matter.

The martial arts hall opened, but he didn't even come.

He came here this time to discuss business in the United States, and just dropped in to see Zhang Yu.

It is inevitable to talk about this matter for small talk.

As soon as he spoke, he naturally revealed the biggest suspect.

"Karate Alliance." Zhang Yu said lightly, "I have already let Wang Zhen handle it."

Is it difficult to find out?
Not difficult!

Among other things, Bahari is a good breakthrough.

"How to deal with it?" Wantong said, "How to deal with it? Ask them for an explanation? Or kick them out of the martial arts gym in Los Angeles?"

"Are you still interested in this?" Zhang Yu said.

How to deal with it?

Zhang Yu didn't care, and there was no need to care.

But it must make the Karate Union feel the pain and have nothing to say.

This time it was their fault, so what can they say?
"It's just a small talk." Wantong said, "You are not afraid to make things big. The two sides are in the same situation? The result is that the Taekwondo Alliance has benefited? What's more, the background of the Wushu Alliance is much worse than that of the Karate Alliance. .”

It is far worse than the Taekwondo Federation.

Even the head coach of taekwondo fell into the hands of Zhang Shisan.

"So what if there's a big fuss?" Zhang Yu said, "Besides, it probably won't be a big fuss. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Bahari who came to kick the gym, but a master of the Karate League."

Wantong nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't continue this topic.

Because he knew very well that he might be able to see relevant news in a short time.

Sure enough, not long.

Some media in North America broke out that Bahari went to the Kung Fu League when the Los Angeles branch of the Guoshu League opened, not because he wanted to see Huaguo Kungfu, but because he was invited by someone.

By whom?
Karate League!
how so?

This is not difficult to understand, after all, the Guoshu League and the Karate League have great competition in many places.

The entry of the Martial Art Federation into the North American market will naturally have a great impact on the North American market of the Karate Federation.

This can be seen from the fact that after the establishment of the Guoshu Alliance, the large market share of the Karate Alliance in China has decreased.

But why didn't they do it themselves, but asked Bahari, a master of mixed martial arts, to do it?
Can't you fight karate?

Maybe it can't beat Huaguo Kungfu.

Or maybe you don't want to stand in front of the stage.

still is
There are many guesses. No matter what the reason is, the Karate Federation obviously does not want the Martial Art Federation to gain a firm foothold in North America, so naturally there is no choice but to choose another method.

Whatever the reason, it was obviously extremely unflattering for the Karate Federation to back down this time.

The Karate Federation's reputation has clearly suffered from an image.

Of course, the shadow of the Guoshu League is naturally indispensable here.

There was even a lot of noise about this matter, obviously there was also the shadow of the Guoshu League.

And what is the virtue of the media?
They obviously don't think it's a big deal, and they even contribute to it.

This time too.

The major media seem to have the intention of making the Guoshu League and the Karate League fight because of this, and they continue to fan the flames.

Zhang Yu, the "participant", was naturally questioned by the media.

"It's just a rumor!"

"The commercial success of the Karate League is obvious to all. How can there be such a low-level method to suppress the Martial Arts League?"

"I don't believe that the Karate Federation invited Bahari to kick the martial arts martial arts gym."

"Could it be that the Karate Federation has no masters, so they want to borrow the hands of others?"

"What's more, it's normal for martial arts to communicate with each other, so there's nothing to make a fuss about."

"Maybe one day the martial art martial arts school will come to the karate martial arts school to communicate."

"At that time, you don't have to be surprised."

"Me? I'll forget it. I don't have the time. I'm busy preparing new films."

"I'm not that interested either."

"I don't know if the karate federation has any masters who would put me in the ring."

Zhang Shisan's response, which seemed to deny the fact that the Karate Federation invited Bahari to the gymnasium, revealed a kind of weirdness in his words.

It seems to imply that the martial arts martial arts school will go to the karate martial arts school for "communication".

It is even mocking the karate alliance for making Bahari's kicking methods not good.

There are also ridicules that the karate league has no masters, let alone masters who let him enter the ring.

As for what exchange?
In fact, it is kicking the hall.

This means kicking back!

But why did Zhang Shisan deny it?
It's nothing more than leaving no handle.

After all, that's just a rumor, there is no substantive evidence.

The media's guess is obviously correct, so it is not necessary to misinterpret Zhang Shisan's words.

Because soon, the karate branch in Los Angeles was kicked by the Kung Fu masters of the Chinese Martial Arts Alliance.

There is no fighting back.

The only pity is that the masters of the Martial Art League stopped at this point and did not make matters worse.

Disappointed many who thought they would continue playing.

And the Karate Federation didn't react too aggressively.

Just did some crisis PR.

After all, the master of the Guoshu League to "communicate" is its head coach, and his opponent is only the coach of the Los Angeles branch of the Karate League.

The status of the two is not equal.

However, to lose is to lose.

The Karate League's market in Los Angeles was instantly robbed by the Martial Arts League.

Of course, the karate alliance has a profound background, so this kind of impact, not to mention hurting muscles and bones, probably doesn't even count as superficial.

However, if the influence is not eliminated, I am afraid that it will affect the whole body.

Subconsciously, the market seized by the Guoshu League will become larger and larger.

This effect is permanent.

Of course, in the end it depends on the business operations of both parties.

After all, neither the Martial Art League nor the Karate League is a pure martial art school, and who is better at fighting is not enough to determine the outcome.

It's just that whoever can fight better undoubtedly has the advantage.

The advantage of the Guoshu League is obviously not just better playing.

Zhang Shisan's star power is definitely an immeasurable advantage.

The Guoshu League is new to the country, and it is enough to make an example of others, there is no need to force the Karate League to jump over the wall.

It is estimated that neither side wants to fight to the death.

Therefore, Zhang Yu and others did not hype this up.

And the Karate Alliance obviously endured this tone, and did not make any moves except for public relations.

The media and the people who eat melons are unwilling, but there is nothing they can do.

The thing faded away.

Zhang Yu wasn't bothering about martial arts either.

However, he also knows that martial arts are developing very well in the United States, especially in Los Angeles.

Because many Hollywood stars are members of that martial arts gym.

This naturally attracted their fans.

The Guoshu League will also start from Los Angeles and gradually settle down in major cities in North America.

It takes time to prepare the film, and it is obviously difficult to start it for a while.

In early May, "The Shawshank Redemption" was the first to be released in North America and received unanimous praise.

Zhang Shisan wrote the screenplay, directed by Robert, and starred in Tom.

This is the third collaboration between the three after "Forrest Gump".

With such a gimmick, the film naturally attracted countless fans to the theater.

The reputation is amazing, and the box office is also good.

However, the box office is obviously worse than "Forrest Gump".

But the box office was much higher than Zhang Yu expected.

Subsequently, the film was released one after another in other countries and regions, and the word of mouth was very good, but the box office was not satisfactory.

Compared with other films written by Zhang Shisan, the box office is obviously not satisfactory.

And Huaguo's box office is not bad.

"I am very satisfied with the box office of this film."

"Correct!"

""The Shawshank Redemption" is not a commercial blockbuster, and the film's pursuit is not box office."

"This box office has actually exceeded my expectations by a lot."

"I'm a filmmaker, not a businessman."

"I'm not going after the box office blindly."

"Of course, if you don't consider the box office, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make any movie."

"No investor is willing to pay for a movie that hits the box office."

"In my opinion, you can't blindly pursue the box office, but you can't ignore the box office."

The original version of "The Shawshank Redemption" hit the box office, and many movie fans regretted it.

Today, although there are no big box office hits, it is probably considered extremely good among the genres of art films.

Even if it is included in the "Written by Zhang Shisan", the box office is not low.

Of course it's an art film type.

Compared with those commercial blockbusters, the box office is indeed very low.

This film was not a big hit, but it made a lot of money.

This is definitely a successful film.

Perhaps after the Oscars next year, the film will be even more successful.

After "The Shawshank Redemption", Zhang Shisan's new film seems to be still in preparation, and there is no news.

However, the works he wrote are not without screens.

"Monster Hunt" directed by Wen Rui is released in summer.

The domestic box office is very good, but the foreign box office is not so dazzling.

Of course, it is obviously much better than the original.

The investment in this film is not large.

Domestic box office can make a lot of money, while foreign ones are pure profits.

This film is not aimed at the global film market.

With such a box office, it naturally met expectations.

The work written by Zhang Shisan is obviously successful again.

Success again?
This is nothing.

When the work written by Zhang Shisan fails, that will be the real news.

However, after more than half a year of preparation, news of Zhang Shisan's new film finally came out.

"Titanic"!
As soon as the title of the film came out, many people were stunned.

Isn't it a romance movie?
Why does it feel like a disaster movie?
There is still the sinking of the Titanic in this world, and it is similar to the previous life.

In order to make this movie, Zhang Yu consulted a lot of materials.

Of course, there's no running to salvage the wreck like the original director did.

Is the film a romance about the shipwreck?

Obviously yes.

The film is based on the event that the Titanic cruise ship hit a rock and sank on an iceberg when it first set sail, and describes two people from different classes, that is, the poor painter Jack and the aristocratic girl Ruth abandoning the worldly prejudices and falling in love. The touching story of giving up the chance of life to Ruth.

This film is both a romance and a drama.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with calling it a disaster movie.

However, in Zhang Yu's view, disaster is only the background, and love is the main theme of the film.

When the news came out, it still caused quite a reaction.

After all, the popularity of his film is amazing.

In mid-August, the launch conference of "Titanic" attracted the presence of major media from all over the world.

Zhang Shisan is among them, and next to him are the leading actors and actresses of the film.

The male protagonist Jack is played by Richard Stone.

One has starred in several films and has a pretty good reputation, and he is considered to be the most powerful actor in the entire film.

However, in Hollywood, it is at best a quasi-second line.

The heroine Ruth is played by Kate Bell.

She is not a newcomer, but an unknown young actor.

At the press conference, it is naturally difficult for them to attract the attention of media reporters.

As for the other actors, they were not well-known, and compared to Zhang Shisan, they were nothing.

What's more, even if he is a famous Hollywood actor, Zhang Shisan may still be the focus of the media at this press conference.

"Director Zhang, it is rumored that this film has invested over [-] million US dollars, but now it seems that the proportion of the actor's salary is very low. Is the reason for not inviting big-name actors to reduce the budget?"

In the interview session, some media reporters asked about it.

In Zhang Shisan's movies, the cast has been very strong in the past.

Now in Hollywood, why has it changed?
Is it true that the big names in Hollywood are paid too much and exceed the budget?

"My film only chooses the right actors." Zhang Yu said, "As for the budget? I am the largest investor in the film, so naturally I will not be limited by the budget. The focus of the film is on production, and the film has one purpose, that is to let The scene has to be like stepping back in time, making people feel immersive."

"Two hundred million dollars is just a preliminary budget. The final result depends on the investment in the film." Zhang Yu continued, "When I make movies, the quality of the film is always the criterion."

What does he mean by that?
Two hundred million dollars is only the minimum budget, and there is a great possibility of overspending.

The familiar people just smiled.

For Zhang Shisan to make a movie, the possibility of overspending is not "very big", but "certain".

He doesn't have a film that doesn't go over budget.
