The leisurely life of rebirth

Along the way, Zhang Zhilei listened carefully to Jiang Wu's story.

When talking about Zhou You, one can see Jiang Wu's admiring expression and tone.

"Chinatown has already declined and is dirty and messy."

"Now our martial arts school is providing money and manpower to improve hygiene and public security. All of this is supported by Brother You."

"We young people now have many options and no longer need to care about other people's opinions."

Zhang Zhilei's impression of Zhou You is also gradually improving.

"Brother You has great love. How much money must be invested in this?"

Jiang Wu nodded: "Yes, without investment, there would be no Chinatown today. Originally, everyone's hearts were almost scattered, but now they are gradually coming together again."

"As long as we Chinese are united, many things are not difficult."

When Zhang Zhilei first arrived, he thought about seeking help from Chinese people, but after looking around, he couldn't find anyone who could help him.

There are also many people who, although they are Chinese, have been assimilated into white people.

Chinatown is actually already like this, but it has been extended for some time due to travel.

"By the way, Brother Lei, the movie is still being filmed, and many people from our martial arts school have made cameo appearances. Do you want to make a cameo appearance?"

"Ah, I can't act." Zhang Zhilei shook his head.

Jiang Wu laughed: "You don't need to act, the movie will be shot in our martial arts hall, you just need to train or compete normally."

Zhang Zhilei was about to refuse.

But suddenly I remembered that Zhou You had promoted myself and increased my popularity.

A movie that still has the potential to be a hit and still has a lot of gimmicks.

"Okay, I am now considered a member of the martial arts school. I will follow your arrangements, but you cannot delay my training, otherwise Brother You will be disappointed."

Zhang Zhilei still knows what is important and what is not.

Jiang Wu nodded: "It will be very soon. The crew will have to shoot for a long time. We are helping to coordinate it. I guess Brother You will come to visit soon."

"By the way, Brother Lei, let me tell you that Brother You's girlfriend is studying for a doctorate here and often comes to our place to play. If she runs into her, I'll let you know. You just need to keep it to yourself. Sister Li is also a very low-key person."

As we talked and chatted, we arrived at Chinatown.

As soon as Zhang Zhilei got off the car, he noticed something was different.

The whole street is much cleaner and tidier, and some of the dilapidated and damaged buildings on both sides have also been repaired.

The stink is almost gone.

This is a modern metropolis.

In the past, no one took the lead and no one was willing to contribute. Although we haven’t yet pulled together, things are moving in a good direction.

When he arrived at the martial arts gym, Zhang Zhilei couldn't help but look up.

"Chinese Martial Arts"

"It's a grand name, it does a grand job, and the area is really large."

Jiang Wu chuckled: "This was renovated later to look high-end and classy. This is what Brother You said, not me."

"Ah Hu, this is Brother Lei, a famous boxer who won a silver medal in the Olympics and is now a professional heavyweight boxer."

Ah Hu is now a staff member of the martial arts school and also one of the disciples.

I worked as a handyman here for three months, and Zhou You didn't care about anything.

Later everyone knew that Zhou You must have forgotten about this incident.

Jiang Wu didn't dare to ask Zhou You directly at first, but after asking Li Houliang indirectly, he found out that Brother You didn't really care.

So Ah Hu will be left here to work.

How should I put it, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Since the extortion failed, he can only make a living by working.

"Brother Lei, I'll take you to where you're staying first." Ah Hu said hurriedly, knowing that another big shot had arrived.

This physique is obviously extraordinary, worthy of being a heavyweight, and the oppressive feeling is too strong.

"Brother Lei, you go and settle down first. I'll go find my master and the director. They're probably discussing things." Jiang Wu now has a position of varying degrees.

Responsible for coordinating many things and is highly valued.

In addition to this martial arts school, Zhou You also bought a lot of real estate here.

The main reason is that it is not cost-effective to keep all the money in the bank. It is only useful if you spend it, but it is not safe to keep too much.

Upstairs, the reception room.

Han Luosheng, Tan Hai, Wang Baoqiang, Chengcai and others were also in it.

"Luckily, President Han helped coordinate the work, which saved us a lot of trouble." Chengcai expressed his sincere gratitude.

I didn't expect this trip to be so smooth. Having the help of local people really saved me a lot of trouble.

There were a lot of troubles when we were in Thailand. Although the country is not big, there were many coordination issues.

"Director, you are so polite. I will definitely do everything that President Zhou asks me to do." Han Luosheng was also sincere.

The association has also changed a lot. With money and people, a lot of work can be carried out easily.

I later found out that Zhou You had become one of the major shareholders of the Xiyin company that I had cooperated with last time.

What is there to worry about? With Zhouyou backing you up, you won’t lose anything even if you want to.

"Master Tan, we may shoot a lot of scenes of our Chinatown at that time, including lion dancing and so on. Is that ok with you?" Baoqiang followed up, saying that this movie was invested by Zhou You.

We all invested together, and Baoqiang is also one of the shareholders of Dream Chasing Company.

Naturally, I care a lot about it.

"Well, no problem. I have the people and the money." Tan Hai patted his chest.

I didn’t dare to say this before, but now I dare to say it and do it.

Wang Baoqiang and Chengcai have never filmed such a comfortable movie. The last time they shot it in India, they were almost exhausted.

But, it's Brother You's fault that he doesn't like that place and doesn't want to go there.

Being here, it really feels like being home.

There is a place to eat and stay, and even the extras are easy to coordinate.

When a few people were chatting there, Jiang Wu ran up and said:

"Master, President, Brother You asked the person who picked him up to pick him up. He is so tall."

Tan Hai said hurriedly: "Why don't you invite someone up here quickly?"

"I'll be there soon. Let's go put our luggage at the accommodation first. The director will also see if it's suitable for me to make a cameo appearance."

"I heard him say on the way that Brother You was ready to help him, build momentum for him, and allow him to have a high-quality boxing match as soon as possible."

Chengcai nodded quickly: "No problem, it would be best if he is willing to make a cameo appearance, and our movie will be more interesting."

"Okay, this guy has a prominent background. I've also found a lot of information about him. He's from Central Plains, and has won many national championships, Asian Games championships, and an Olympic silver medal." Jiang Wu gave a brief introduction, fearing that others would underestimate him, as this was the person Zhou Youdu was paying attention to.

When Wang Baoqiang heard this, his eyes lit up.

With a hint of doubt, he asked, "Is his name Zhang Zhilei?"

"Yes, Brother Qiang knows him?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him. We're from the same hometown, not far from each other. I've always wanted to meet him, but never had the chance. I didn't expect to meet him here."

Wang Baoqiang was very happy.

It feels like meeting an idol.

He is a fake martial arts star, but Zhang Zhilei is a real master.

After finishing the Indian movie, the next movie I conceived would be related to boxing.

This is fate!
Zhang Zhilei actually doesn’t have high requirements for where he lives.

As long as the place is big enough, it's fine.

Because besides him, the team also occasionally has to move in. Ever since Zhou You told him, he has also been thinking about the agent.

He has already found someone in China, actually an old friend of his who has been accompanying him and handling other things. At most, he has a part-time job.

It’s just harder to find overseas.

I was thinking all the way to the martial arts hall, which had a large area, many equipments, but few staff.

This is Zhang Zhilei’s first impression.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Zhilei."

"Brother Lei, I'm Wang Baoqiang. You're so big and strong, you must play a cameo role in the movie." Wang Baoqiang spoke first.

Chengcai also quickly said: "Yes, we have a role for a strong man, but we haven't found the right person. Brother Lei is very suitable."

Zhang Zhilei didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

He shook hands with everyone one by one. “Thank you, thank you. Brother You mentioned this to me, but I still have to focus on training, so I may not be able to spare much time.”

"It's okay, you have relatively few shots and it will be finished in a few days," Chengcai said.

He looked around as he spoke.

This is a heavyweight boxer.

He is really too big.

Tan Hai was also comparing silently. If a fight really broke out, he would most likely not be the opponent.

The difference in attack power is too big.

Inexplicably, I think of the movies Huo Yuanjia and Hercules.

The key is that he is a boxer with rich fighting experience, not just a big guy.

"Welcome Zhilei to join us. Now we have a brand that we can show off." Tan Hai said happily.

There are many ways to promote and preserve martial arts.

Mutual integration and multi-party assistance is also one of the paths.

Investment alone will not sustain long-term, you still have to rely on your own blood.

After that, Zhang Zhilei became famous, and when people came to him, they discovered that there were so many traditional martial arts.

If there are a few people interested, then you will make money.

"Master Tan, you are too polite. I am just putting my name on the list. I am not famous yet." Zhang Zhilei said politely.

Who knows myself? I am just a small person.

"I believe in Mr. Zhou's vision and his ability. If you need our help, just tell us. Chinese people all over the world are one family, not to mention those of us who practice martial arts," said Tan Hai generously.

During this period of traveling with Zhou You, I didn’t learn anything else, but I just opened up this key idea.

Some time ago, BI station sent people here to shoot materials for a documentary.

Not only that, he also took the group to several cities with large Chinese populations, such as San Francisco, to shoot.

These will become precious historical materials in the future.

"I have confidence in myself. As martial artists, we must have confidence in ourselves." Zhang Zhilei said confidently.

The Chinese are accustomed to being modest and gentle.

However, sometimes people who practice martial arts really just fight with one breath.

Wang Baoqiang clapped his hands and said, "Brother Lei is right. You must have confidence. What are your plans for the next step?"

Zhang Zhilei sat down and thought for a while: "Maybe I have to find a way to terminate the contract with my company first. My current company is too weak and cannot arrange a strong competition for me."

Everyone was silent. They didn't expect that they would do something big as soon as they arrived.

Han Luosheng had not interrupted until now, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but say:
"This is probably quite difficult. We don't have anyone we can talk to in the boxing circle. This circle is still relatively closed."

Chengcai considered more and was more meticulous: "I'm just afraid of delaying it. If it's delayed for a few years, Brother Lei will be older."

"Yeah, I know. I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll go find Brother You and try again." Zhang Zhilei said. If it were in the past, he would probably wait and see.

Now that I have someone supporting me, if I don’t give it a try, time won’t allow me to continue following the old routine.

The older you get, the worse your physical fitness becomes.

"Yes, find Mr. Zhou. He is familiar with Hongshan, so it shouldn't be a problem." Han Luosheng said with a smile.

In the United States, if you have money you have power, and being a capitalist country is no joke.

"Also, I see that ByteDance, which was invested by Mr. Zhou, has started to promote itself here, and it's developing very rapidly. The new president was blocked by traditional media some time ago, so he used ByteDance, and its promotion increased very quickly." As a young man, Jiang Wu pays more attention to this aspect.

Zhang Zhilei felt more confident when he saw everyone had so much confidence in Zhou You.

No matter how good you are at fighting, how many people can you beat?

If there are two or three people like Li Houliang, they won’t be able to handle it.

However, the two people have different pursuits.

This is the first time I've felt it's so lively in all the years I've been in the United States. Even though I speak the Central Plains dialect, everyone can understand me.

After chatting for a while, Wang Baoqiang suddenly suggested:

"Brother Lei, I'll take you to the boxing gym and have some fun together."

"Yeah, I haven't seen a heavyweight live yet."

"It will broaden everyone's horizons."

Everyone echoed.

Zhang Zhilei smiled. On the one hand, he was curious about the prey, but as they were all martial artists, they still had to conquer others with their martial arts.

Otherwise, why would you be treated so well?

"Okay, come and take a look at our venue. We may need to train here in the future." Zhang Zhilei was not at all timid and just got to work.

"Okay, I'll find some sparring partners." Tan Hai said.

The current facilities and equipment, in addition to the traditional martial arts needs, also include a lot of Sanda equipment and various fitness equipment.

Including the common punch strength test.

Zhang Zhilei put on his boxing gloves. For others, this kind of test might not require them, but for him, he still had to protect himself well.

The force is mutual, and if you are not careful you can break your hand.

He simply moved, without any accumulation of strength, and threw out a straight punch.

The people around him haven't reacted yet.

I looked at the screen and saw a set of numbers: 950 pounds.
One pound is equal to 0.9 catties.

This is a force of nearly 900 kilograms.

If this hits a person, it would be like a bull hitting a person.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.

Is this the power of a heavyweight punch?

Everyone here knows a little bit about it. The average person weighs 100 pounds, and at most 200 pounds.

Everyone looked at each other, and swallowed silently.

If this hits a person, he will fall to the ground immediately and sleep like a baby.

"Do you want to try it?" After Zhang Zhilei finished the fight, he was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

No matter how much you say, it's all in vain. This is actually the most direct one. It has enough killing power and can be killed in one hit.

Wang Baoqiang waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, I won't try. I'm an actor. Master Tan, how about giving it a try?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'm old. I'm only 200 at most. There's no way to compare. There's no way to compare." Tan Hai said directly.

There's nothing to be ashamed of. If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. No matter how much you say, it's useless.

Only by daring to admit can we make progress. (End of this chapter)
