Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 319 "John Wick 2" is released in the United States

"Brother Yang, the report is out."

"what's the result?"

Two days later.

Zhang Yang, who was lying in bed and about to fall asleep, received a call from the league broadcast management overseas.

With a hint of excitement in his voice, the person on the other end of the phone said: "Far exceeded expectations! The ratings for the premiere reached 23%. Ms. Samantha, who is currently in charge of connecting with us, told us that this rating may be the highest among all American fighting shows currently. The league’s ratings are at their peak, except for some focus-level boxer battles and regular league-based fights, we have no opponents!”

23% ratings.

If this data is placed on the scale of Hong Kong Island, it can only be said to be mediocre.

But the thing is this is America!

No matter in terms of population size or geographical vastness, it is far better than the United States in Hong Kong Island!

You know, the United States is not like Hong Kong Island now. Nowadays, only TVB and ATV compete with each other. There are five domestic TV stations in the United States, such as CBS or larger TV stations than CBS!

Being able to gain more than one-fifth of the audience's choice in this chaotic situation where the heroes are divided, there is no doubt that the premiere of the Fighting Peak League in the United States can be said to be a great success!

According to the broadcast agreement signed between Zhang Yang and CBS, every 1% of the ratings in a single viewing is a total of 23 US dollars, and this 115% of the ratings also proves that this league’s premiere, Zhang Yang’s Fighting Major League Company , will usher in an income of US$ million!

Coupled with the local broadcasting income in Thailand and Hong Kong Island, when combined, the Peak Fighting League has not only got rid of the previous difficulty of barely balancing its income and expenditure, but it has become one of the core incomes for publicizing personal wealth!

Even if the players' salary will increase as the league spreads, it is obvious that Zhang Yang's major league fighting company will undoubtedly make more!

This is just the broadcast of Hong Kong’s local top fighting league to the United States.

When the local league in the United States is completed, TV broadcasts plus offline ticket revenue...

There is no doubt that even without counting Ying Yang Entertainment, the Fighting League Company alone is enough to make Zhang Yang one of the richest people in Hong Kong Island!

Of course, the success of the Fighting Peak League does not mean that Zhang Yang will give up on Yingyang Entertainment.

In fact, the majority of Zhang Yang's income now comes from Ying Yang Entertainment.

Especially after the tie-up with Warner, the popularity of "John Wick" in the United States last time has made Zhang Yang completely make a lot of money in the United States, and the release of "John Wick 2" will also It is destined to help Zhang Yang earn more dollars in the United States!

……

Just three days after the Fighting League premiered in the United States through CBS, and after two rounds of media previews and screenings, Zhang Yang's "John Wick 2" was officially released in theaters in the United States.

In the Hollywood theater, Li Guohao held the movie ticket in his hand and looked at the huge poster displayed outside the theater. His face was frowning and he was hesitating whether to go in or not.

After experiencing the failure of Hong Kong Island last time, Chen Huimin, who had completely fallen in love with him, followed his personal opinion and sent him back to the United States.

After returning to the United States, Li Guohao thought that he would usher in broader development. Unexpectedly, Hollywood showed no interest in him. Only some companies that like to shoot B-level movies took a fancy to his identity as Li Xiaolong's son. A contract offer was sent to him. In the end, Li Guohao reluctantly chose a script that he could understand and played a supporting role in the film.

However, before the filming of his movie was completed, Zhang Yang's first "John Wick" began to be released in the United States.

Looking at Zhang Yang who kept appearing in CBS TV stations and media interviews, and looking at everyone praising him for becoming the second Li Xiaolong, Li Guohao felt as if his heart was being squeezed.

He is obviously the son of the legendary Li Xiaolong, and he is obviously the second one who should be praised... no, he is a Kung Fu superstar who can surpass Li Xiaolong. Why are these people now placing this name on Zhang Yang? On the head?

Full of resentment and incomprehension filled Li Guohao's heart. During that time, he just dived into the film he was filming, hoping that with this film, he could become a blockbuster and completely establish his own name. , let everyone forget about Zhang Yang, the person who stole his father's name, and let everyone's attention focus on him again.

But in the end, the film's box office data proved that he failed.

He tried his best to interpret the script, and he thought it was excellent. It was like throwing a stone into the sea. Except for a few ripples, there was no sound at all.

On the contrary, Zhang Yang, the person he looked down upon and despised, was like a huge wave in the sea, constantly setting off wave after wave, holding fighting competitions, winning the IBF boxing championship, and cooperating with Warner, Filming the sequel to the "John Wick 2" series...

News after news continued to arouse Li Guohao's restless heart. Until he heard the news that "John Wick 2" was beginning to be released in China, he couldn't help it and could no longer turn a blind eye.

He plucked up the courage to go to the theater and bought a ticket for "John Wick 2".

He would like to see what kind of magic power this Zhang Yang has to make everyone praise him, and why he, the real heir to Li Xiaolong and Kung Fu movies, is not as popular and well-received as Zhang Yang.

With this obsession in mind, Li Guohao held on to the movie ticket and walked into the theater.

……

After taking a seat in the cinema, it only took a short moment for the cinema to be filled with people.

Everyone was whispering excitedly, discussing how wonderful the first "John Wick" was and what kind of killing skills Zhao Weike would show in the upcoming second one.

Li Guohao was eavesdropping on the side, but his heart was full of ignorant ridicule and contempt for these people.

The action on the big screen, no matter how exciting the design is, is only on the screen after all. The real actual combat and the battle on the screen are two completely different things from beginning to end. These people talk about it so intensely, but in reality How many people on the Internet really know Kung Fu?

They are all a bunch of ignorant amateurs, just tasting randomly.

Maintaining the pride in his heart, Li Guohao stared at the big screen, silently waiting for the film to start.

As the lights in the theater dimmed, the film began to officially play. Zhao Weike, played by Zhang Yang, began to kill cleanly again and again. As the audience exclaimed with excitement or surprise, Li Guohao My heart sank a little bit.

Different!

Why is it completely different from what I thought?
