Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 309 Shouting before the game

In the next few days, Zhang Yang took Wu Yusen, Liu Weiqiang, Lin Lingdong and others to travel around Los Angeles and experience the most authentic local conditions in Los Angeles.

This trip was, firstly, waiting for Warner and IBF to arrange things, and secondly, it was to help Wu Yusen and others break their filter on the United States, and at the same time, it also made it easier for them to get closer to the situation in the United States during subsequent filming.

In this "John Wick 2", the main scenes will be shot in Los Angeles, so it is somewhat necessary whether the atmosphere of the film can be close to the real local life in the United States.

Otherwise, if we use the same method of shooting Hong Kong movies to shoot "John Wick 2" shot in the United States, weird situations will inevitably occur. Of course, "John Wick 2" is not an ordinary real-life theme after all. Even a partial understanding of the local scene is enough.

In this way, after a week of eating, playing and filming, Warner took the lead in completing preparations.

Zhang Yang, who was already prepared, naturally did not delay. He immediately called the crew who had been resting for a week and rushed to the scene to start shooting. Since the actors selected by Zhang Yang were not particularly big names at the moment, after learning that he was going to participate in the filming of the film , it was precisely after the new film that just set a box office record some time ago that they naturally cooperated particularly actively.

The actors are cooperative enough, the directors are all their own, and there is also the team brought by Zhang Yang. Although there are some minor problems in the beginning, the problem will soon no longer be a problem.

As the shooting time lengthened, the team's level of integration began to increase rapidly, and the shooting process naturally became smoother and smoother.

However, this happy honeymoon period of filming did not last long. A week after the filming started, Zhang Yang received a call from Robert, and the IBF Championship Invitational Tournament was officially scheduled.

When the news came out, the entire fighting circle in the United States immediately started an uproar!

The last time Zhang Yang left the United States was just a month, but everyone was not so forgetful.

At the King of Fighters competition a month ago, Zhang Yang defeated the former legendary "Golden Boy" Lewis in an exhibition match with an almost instant kill. Just one month later, he accepted the IBF invitation again to challenge The current IBF lightweight boxing champion Futak, this is too shocking.

Is it possible that this movie star is not satisfied with stepping out of the big screen once, and actually wants to step out a second time?

Last time it was mixed martial arts, and this time the IBF championship fight will naturally use boxing rules. How confident does Zhang Yang have that he can beat an active boxing champion under boxing rules?

Is this because he has excessive self-confidence, or does he really have the exaggerated absolute strength as shown in the movie, and his self-awareness that he can defeat Futak and win the IBF gold belt?

The public couldn't guess it, but it didn't stop them from discussing the matter enthusiastically and being fascinated by it.

After all, the last King of Fighters competition left a deep impression on them. If given the opportunity, they naturally don’t want to miss this feast. Everyone wants to see the invincible Zhao Weike on the screen come into reality and achieve great results. Their fantasies on screen.

And as this boxing championship match attracted the attention of countless people, Warner also received the news.

Steven naturally rushed to the set immediately and found Zhang Yang.

Naturally, he came not to cheer Zhang Yang in the ring, but to advise Zhang Yang that it would be best not to participate in this match. The reason is also very simple.

He doesn't see any benefit to Zhang Yang or Warner from this kind of thing.

If he loses, the invincible character that Zhang Yang created in King of Fighters will be damaged, and the disillusioned audience may even stop buying into the film. Even if he wins the game by luck, it is indeed possible. Increasing some popularity can publicize his current popularity. Even if there is no such popularity, it will not delay the success of his movie.

Steven thought so, but obviously Zhang Yang's idea was completely different from his.

Therefore, in the face of Steven's persuasion, Zhang Yang's attitude was firm and clear.

He wants to play, that's his freedom, and he didn't sign a no-play contract with Warner. Warner has no right or qualification to stop him.

Facing Zhang Yang's determined attitude, Steven was helpless and had no choice.

Ever since Zhang Yang returned to the United States, he had been groveling and waiting carefully, fearing that Zhang Yang would make big news for him again, but now, he still didn't stop him.

This kid finally made some big news for him!

Trouble, so troublesome!

Steven cursed in his heart, but he couldn't stop Zhang Yang from making a decision at all.

Even if he reported it to the boss behind him, he could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yang asked the crew to stop work, and then rushed to the competition site arranged by IBF in Los Angeles to participate in this boxing championship battle.

……

three days later.

Inside the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Last time, the King of Fighting Competition was held here, which made Zhang Yang famous.

Now, more than a month has passed, and Zhang Yang has once again appeared in this gymnasium.

But this time, Zhang Yang is not fighting in the octagonal cage again, but has become a fighter in the boxing ring and will compete for the IBF lightweight championship belt.

The host invited by the IBF League passionately introduced the players on both sides. When his name was called, Zhang Yang also took the initiative to walk to the middle of the ring and wave to the audience.

For a time, the whole place was buzzing with excitement. The audience, especially those who supported Zhang Yang, were all looking forward to Zhang Yang being able to create miracles again and bring the action stars on the screen into reality.

However, compared to the excitement of the audience, Futak on the other side of the ring was not in a happy mood.

He was doing well as the lightweight boxing champion, but he was suddenly pulled onto the stage to participate in a championship fight that he didn't need to participate in. His opponent was an actor. This was simply humiliating him!

If it weren't for Robert's generous appearance fee, Futak would have even wished he could make a splash right now.

Seeing the host hand the microphone in front of him, indicating that he could start trash-talking, Futak did not hold back, looking at Zhang Yang opposite, he directly vented all the resentment he had accumulated.

"I don't know what the people from the IBF Association think about promoting this competition. I just hope everyone will remember one thing. This guy nodded and agreed to participate, so no matter if I kill him or cripple him, it will be fine. He asked for it!"

Putting down the microphone domineeringly, Furtak showed off his strong biceps and showed off his power to Zhang Yang.
