Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 228 Female star from a foreign country
What a strong perfume smell.

As the fragrant wind entered his nose, Zhang Yang tilted his head subconsciously.

Sitting next to him was a woman in her early twenties, more precisely, a foreign woman.

Looking at the other person's blond hair and the familiar contours of his face, Zhang Yang felt vaguely familiar, but the other person was a foreigner after all. Even though he looked familiar, Zhang Yang didn't dare to recognize him, but couldn't help but look curiously. With.

At this moment, the blond and blue-eyed foreign woman also turned around.

As if she saw Zhang Yang staring at him, the woman smiled lightly.

"Why, haven't you seen any foreigners?"

What came out of his mouth was fluent English, which made Zhang Yang raise his eyebrows subconsciously.

"Foreigners have seen it before, and those who look familiar are rare."

"Do I look familiar to you?"

The woman pointed to her nose and was startled, then suddenly laughed.

"Oh, your excuse is a bit cliche."

Zhang Yang smiled, pointed at his nose, and asked, "Then don't I look familiar to you?"

"you?"

The woman looked at Zhang Yang carefully in confusion, but she really didn't recognize Zhang Yang. Instead, she shook her head in confusion.

"You really don't know me."

At this time, Zhang Yang was a little surprised, and then he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Did you come to Hong Kong Island recently?"

"Yeah, July, how did you guess that?"

Zhang Yang smiled when he heard this. He was still confident that he had some influence on Hong Kong Island.

Anyone who has stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than a year, even if they have not personally gone to the theater to watch Zhang Yang's movies, must have seen him in the news, newspapers and theater banners all over Hong Kong Island.

"Few women like to watch fighting matches. Have you liked watching them before?"

Instead of replying directly to the other party's words, Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"I am different from those delicate little girls in your impression. I have been learning martial arts since I was 13 years old, and I have also obtained many black belts in martial arts." As she spoke, the woman raised her chin proudly, with a hint of pride.

He started learning martial arts at the age of 13 and obtained a black belt certification. He went to Hong Kong in July and there are some foreigners he looks familiar to.

After searching in my mind, a name suddenly came to mind.

Rover?
It should be her!
Before the filming of "The Royal Sisters", Hong Jinbao wanted to find a foreign female villain. After sifting through the information provided by Pan Disheng, the one he picked at first glance seemed to be Rovero.

Of course there is a reason why I chose her, because I have loved martial arts since I was a child, and I personally studied at the Chengdu Sports Institute. From 81 to 85, Rovero had won the world karate routine and equipment for five consecutive years. Group champion.

At that time, the world karate competitions were divided into male and female categories, and winning the championship for five consecutive years directly made Rovero a big star in American martial arts magazines at that time, and he was also the number one in the United States. A female fighter on the cover of a magazine.

And the record of five consecutive championships she set has never been broken by anyone until later generations.

With such a strong foundation in martial arts, Hong Jinbao naturally chose her at a glance.After actually seeing Rover, Hong Jinbao admired him very much, so in the end, not only did Michiko Nisigyo play the villain in Rover's place, but he even specially arranged the role of Interpol for Rover.

It should be her.

After roughly confirming Rovero's identity in his mind, Zhang Yang did not rush to reveal it, but followed her words and said: "Since you love kung fu and martial arts so much, you should have watched a lot of fighting competitions when you were in the United States. ? How is their game now?"

"It's not bad, but the boundaries are still a bit blurry and confusing. Compared to karate competitions and free fighting competitions, I prefer watching boxing. At least it doesn't look so chaotic." The woman shrugged, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Zhang Yang actually didn't know anything about the situation in the fighting field in the United States in the 80s.

If we just look back at the historical data, all-American fighting in this era is in the most chaotic period of change.

The appearance of Li Xiaolong heated up the concept of kung fu. However, there were no dedicated kung fu and martial arts competitions in the United States. Instead, because kung fu also originated in East Asia, kung fu was roughly integrated into the popular karate competition in the United States at that time.

This also leads to the concept of American Karate being broader than that of Japanese Karate.

Later, Joe Lewis, who had studied under Li Xiaolong, initiated innovation and became the founder of American free fighting and the founder of professional competitions. Gradually, American free fighting began to take root.

It's just that at this time, American free fighting, like the mixed martial arts created by Zhang Yang in Hong Kong, was still in its infancy, so the real mainstream competition in American fighting was still American karate.

Is it just this period? Although American karate is very popular, its level is really hard to describe.

Strong men such as Lewis and Binny have followed in the footsteps of Li Xiaolong and have taken the initiative to explore the field of free fighting with broader rules. However, the remaining people who stick to the field of American karate are not legendary fighting strongmen like Binney and Lewis at all. Their opponents left the game in a mess.

In addition, the commercial operation of boxing in this era is booming, so American karate is in decline.

One is still in its infancy, and the other is declining. Except for boxing, which is still growing vigorously, it can be said that the fighting field in the United States is in chaos. Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult for Rovero to praise.

"Is this your first time watching a mixed martial arts match?"

Seeing that Rovero's expression was a little gloomy, Zhang Yang took the initiative to change the topic.

"Not really. I watched one on TV in the hotel and thought it was very interesting. Then my friends told me that there will be a competition at the end of December and Binny will be on stage, so I bought a front-row ticket. .”

For Ruffalo, a native American girl who loves fighting, Binny is undoubtedly a legend.

Now in a foreign country, the legend from his hometown is about to step into the boxing ring. It's no wonder that Rovero can't wait to watch the game.

"Then you'll definitely be worth your money tonight."

Zhang Yang smiled, and as soon as he finished speaking, the host of the league also stepped onto the stage and announced that tonight's opening game had officially begun. As the first game of the opening competition, it was a blockbuster showdown, and it was also The fight for the lightweight championship is something Roverall is looking forward to.

Shaka vs. Binny.

Watching Binny slowly walk into the Octagon, Rovero couldn't help shouting excitedly.

At this time, she looked no different from other star-chasing girls.

However, after Shaka and Binny stood still in the cage, Rovero suddenly became quiet again.

Her eyes were focused on the two people in the octagonal cage, concentrating on them.
