Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 298 Performance Plan

It wasn't until Steven spread out all his trump cards in front of Zhang Yang that Zhang Yang snickered in his heart and nodded secretly with satisfaction.

The unexpected success of "John Wick" in the United States proved that Zhang Yang's previous judgment was indeed correct. In the face of huge interests, even a company like Warner had to lower its head and say so in a good mood. He negotiated cooperation rather than maintaining his previously annoying high profile.

To be honest, Zhang Yang could tell that Warner was determined this time.

The contract conditions they offered were much better than those previously negotiated by those at MGM.

But this doesn't mean that Zhang Yang has to nod his head and agree to them immediately.

Didn't Steven and the Warner executives behind him like to leave Zhang Yang here?

Now it's finally Zhang Yang's turn to retaliate in kind.

Regardless of whether we choose Warner's cooperation plan in the end, at least for now, Zhang Yang will not give an answer.

As for when to give it...

That depends on his mood, and it's not Warner's mood either.

"The plan is not bad, but I have to think about it for a while. You should go back first."

Without even raising his head, Zhang Yang's calm words made Steven's face turn red.

In his opinion, Warner has undoubtedly made huge concessions to this plan, but now Zhang Yang is not in a hurry to agree, which makes him feel powerless...

What else can I do?

Just go back and wait for the news.

Suffering, really suffering!

Steven cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face at all. He even had to smile at Zhang Yang, begging him to think carefully and give him a quick reply.

As for whether Zhang Yang will do what he says?

There was absolutely nothing he could do.

……

After Steven left, Zhang Yang and Lewis were the only two people left in the hotel.

Seeing Zhang Yang put away the contracts on the table in an orderly manner, Lewis couldn't help but said: "Zhang, what are you going to do? In the end, you have to choose one. Don't you want to open your company into Hollywood?" Too difficult."

"I know, Lewis, we will definitely have to cooperate in the end, but I don't want to rush into talking about it now. No matter which film studio I choose to cooperate with in the end, I have to make them realize that I have the initiative in this matter."

Zhang Yang rubbed his cheek, and then continued to ask curiously: "Where is the IBF? How is Robert considering the league cooperation?"

Because the league will eventually be jointly promoted by Zhang Yang, IBF, and the Free Fighting Association represented by Lewis, Lewis is also interested in this matter. He is a native of the United States. Although he has no brilliant achievements in the business field, he has made great achievements in the business field. There are still connections in the fighting circle.

Therefore, he knows something about IBF.

When Zhang Yang asked, he explained: "Robert himself has no problem. He knows very well the potential of the mixed martial arts league, but he still has to convince other people in the IBF Association that some of these people can only rely on boxing. To make a living, they are afraid that the rise of comprehensive leagues will affect their original boxing events."

"Ha, it's unfounded." Zhang Yang sneered, shook his head, and leaned back on the chair.

Can a mixed martial arts league replace a boxing league?     Obviously, the answer is no.

Just like there is a football league, which does not delay the same basketball league, the viewing experience of mixed martial arts and boxing have completely different senses and competition systems. Although they are both fighting sports, they actually have no influence on each other at all. .

Only laypeople who don't understand fighting would compare boxing matches with mixed martial arts, because in their perception they are both fighting, but for those who understand, it's completely different.

But Zhang Yang was not in a hurry to get results from Robert.

Anyway, he will come back to America soon, and he may not even wait until the end of the year.

"Forget it, let's not think about these troublesome things for now and continue preparing for our game."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he began to discuss with Lewis the follow-up matters of the King of Fighters competition.

Now that the competition has entered the semi-finals, according to the plan, the semi-final battle will begin this Friday, and the final two will compete in the final battle the next day.

As Zhang Yang's fame becomes more and more popular in his country, the attention of this King of Fighters competition is also rising rapidly. The tickets for the finals have been sold out in advance, and only the tickets for the semi-finals are left. Just a little bit, maybe even before tonight, it will be completely sold out.

Of course, just because the tickets are sold out, it doesn’t mean that Zhang Yang and the others can just sit back and wait to be paid.

Compared with the previous two rounds of competition, although the quality of the competition is constantly improving, the number of competitions has been significantly reduced, especially in the finals. There was only one duel that day, which obviously could not satisfy the audience.

For this reason, Zhang Yang had to make plans and put on some interesting programs before the finals to fill in the gap of the lack of games. After discussing with Lewis for a long time, Zhang Yang decided to follow Li Xiaolong's actions back then, but with some differences.

At the American Karate Conference that year, Li Xiaolong demonstrated Wing Chun and his Jeet Kune Do. With that wonderful display, he became famous and became a master admired by countless people.

Although Zhang Yang did not dare to expect to achieve such a sensational effect, he could use this to tell these Americans about the concept of mixed martial arts and make them realize that mixed martial arts is by no means an aimless fight, but full of very modern elements. The concept of competition and fighting is particularly important.

In addition to the dry demonstration, Zhang Yang also prepared two things to polish his performance.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the actual combat demonstration that will never be spared.

This is not a problem for Zhang Yang. Lewis is sitting in front of him now. In terms of influence in the American fighting circle, there are only a limited number of people who can match Lewis.

Although Binny may still have to go on stage to compete, it is enough to have Lewis accompany him for demonstrations.

In addition to this practical demonstration, Zhang Yang also plans to give the audience something that will easily leave a deep impression. With this memory anchor, it will also be convenient for everyone to recall this competition and Zhang Yang’s achievements in the future. Mixed martial arts.

But what to do?

After Shen Shen hesitated for a long time, Zhang Yang slapped his thigh.

Back then, he took the first step of the mixed martial arts league in Hong Kong with a song "Men Should Be Strong" as the theme song. Now he can naturally repeat it in the United States with this highly popular theme song.

However, in foreign countries, he naturally could not continue singing "Men Should Be Strong" and had to choose English songs.

This is not difficult for Zhang Yang. He can speak English, and in his opinion, there is an English song that is perfect as the theme song of the mixed martial arts league!
