Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 261 King of Fighting Competition
In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, Lin Lingdong's first Fengyun trilogy should have been written by himself, and New Art City was responsible for investing in "Dragon Tiger Fengyun".

It's just that this film was only released in 87. Due to Zhang Yang's early censorship of Lin Lingdong, although the script of this film was written, it was sealed in the script library of New Art City, and Yang Yang turned around. Lin Lingdong, his first Storm series naturally became "Prison Storm" written by Lin Lingnan.

Of course, this is good news for Zhang Yang.

After all, in terms of box office performance alone, "Dragon, Tiger, and Cloud" can be said to be the worst of the trilogy.

"Prison" is the most eye-catching among the trilogy, and it is also the only "Prison" series to have a sequel.

Being able to use this film as the starting point of his career in Ying Yang is good news for Zhang Yang, Lin Lingdong personally, and even Jianghuren Pictures.

……

After confirming the release and filming of "Prison" and "A Better Tomorrow 2", Zhang Yang felt at ease.

These two films are both high-grossing films, and the better news is that the starring actors in these two films are both the popular actor Fa Ge, who has experienced a great turnaround since "A Better Tomorrow" and has gone from box office to The poison turned into fairy hair, and Brother Fa seemed to have a good impression of Yingyang Entertainment.

As long as Yingyang Entertainment has a film appointment, even if he rejects other companies' films, he will still come to the appointment.

This is win-win good news for both Fa Ge and Yingyang Entertainment.

After all, Fa Ge has already become a fairy, and his name on posters can attract countless box office hits.

As for Fa Ge, he basically makes one of Yingyang Entertainment’s films that is popular, and each time he collaborates with him, he can produce such a well-received and well-received film. This is undoubtedly every actor’s dream production. company.

Under this kind of positive interaction, although Fa Ge did not sign an exclusive contract, he seemed to be no different from Ying Yang's actors.

And while Fa Ge, Wu Yusen and others were busy filming "A Better Tomorrow 2", Chen Jia was here and naturally had no time to relax. Taking advantage of the rare free time, he wrote "Tom Yum Kung" and "The Ultimate Fighter". 3" script.

As the continuation of the "Boxer" and "The Ultimate Fighter" series, the box office of these two films is also guaranteed, especially "Tom Yum Kung". The box office performance of this film in the Thai market is no better than that of "Boxer" " series, and the overall film is consistent with the rhythm of "Boxer".

As the third film in the "Fighter" series, it couldn't be better.

After writing the script and handing it over to Chen Jiashang, Zhang Yang didn't need to worry. He only had to wait for them to finish filming the movie and arrange a release date. After finishing all these things, Zhang Yang, who was light-hearted and had nothing to do, suddenly discovered that today's Yingyang Entertainment seems to have gone silent and is no longer the former grass-roots team.

It's obviously still March of 87, but there are four films scheduled for "Prison", "A Better Tomorrow 2", "Tom Yum Kung", and "The Ultimate Fighter 3", plus there will be at least two films at Debao Cinemas. The production of the third film has directly pushed the schedule of Deyang Cinema to around the second half of 87.

And none of these films require Zhang Yang to worry about.

But Zhang Yang is no one who can take time off.

Since there was no need for Zhang Yang to worry about the theater side, Zhang Yang naturally set his sights on the league.

Nowadays, the league has expanded to its limit in Hong Kong Island. This can be seen from the ATV prime channel, which no longer fluctuates greatly every month and has a very stable ratings curve.

Compared with the stability of the fighting league in China, it seems to be less open-minded in terms of overseas expansion.

Currently, the only overseas broadcaster of the league is Thailand. This is obviously unacceptable to Zhang Yang, who is determined to make the league the world's number one fighting event.

To go to sea, you must go to sea!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yang made a decision in his heart.If you want to ask where the league can gain the greatest influence when it goes overseas, Zhang Yang knows very well that there is only one answer.

That's America!

However, Zhang Yang knew very well that if he took the video of the league to American TV stations now, those people would definitely not accept it immediately. If he wanted to make it possible for the league to be broadcast in the United States, he must first make the league popular.

As for how to heat up the league, Zhang Yang knows this very well.

That is to organize a competition, organize a heavyweight competition that makes the United States look at you, and make this competition the pinnacle event of fighting and the best stepping stone to enter the United States.

After straightening out his thoughts, Zhang Yang began to create a detailed competition process.

Since you want to attract the attention of the whole people, first of all, you must lower the threshold of the competition to the lowest level and create the most arrogant and eye-catching title.

Naturally, Zhang Yang thought of naming the game that was once popular in arcades.

King of Fighters.

Fighting king!

There is no doubt that the name of this game alone can cause a burst of accumulated discussion across the United States.

Besides the name, the second most important thing is the prize money and reputation of the competition.

If there are no sufficiently sensational reputation rewards and a bonus pool design, no matter how famous you are, it will still be a laughing stock.

For this reason, Zhang Yang directly prepared a huge sum of US$500 million.

Among them, the championship prize is 200 million, and the remaining 300 million is the cost of competition production and publicity.

In 87, $200 million was not a small amount of money.

And Zhang Yang will completely let go of the barriers. Whether he is a boxer, a wrestler, or a karate master, as long as he is willing to participate in the competition, Zhang Yang will agree. Different types of fighters will collide in the octagonal cage, plus such a generous bonus. , Zhang Yang believes that the game will definitely achieve the sensational effect and expectations.

Although compared with the most popular boxing competition in the United States, this prize pool still seems a bit shabby, but even so, this situation is enough to instantly defeat all other fighting events in the United States except boxing competitions.

As for the specific rules of the competition, Zhang Yang plans to conduct an audition first and select [-] top fighters from all over the United States, plus the four seed players he brought from the Peak Fighting League to form the top [-], and the latter The top [-] will then adopt a single-elimination elimination system to advance to determine the final winner.

Although this rule is not the most reasonable, it is enough for an introduction that stimulates audiences across the United States!

After sorting out the entire process of the game, Zhang Yang immediately called Binny.

As the former champion of the National Karate Competition and Kickboxing Competition, it is fitting that Binny takes the lead in this matter.
