Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 442 The game begins

“OK! The game is about to begin. Let’s switch the camera to the Hung Hom Stadium and see how many familiar faces are here today.”

TVB host Chen Nianzu stood in the broadcast room and spoke into the camera microphone.

Before the camera turned back to the stadium, TV reporters and cameramen were outside the stadium and captured the scene of tens of thousands of spectators entering the stadium one after another.

There are many big and small celebrities and celebrities among these people. In the parking lot of the stadium, there are luxury cars everywhere, and there are even many car logos that I have never seen before.

 In addition, there are also many foreigners visiting Hong Kong Island’s airport, piers, stations, and hotels and restaurants around Hung Hom Stadium today.

There are European and American tourists, Southeast Asians, Japanese and Koreans, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from the Mainland, etc.

 In order to take care of foreign tourists, increase local consumption and crack down on scalpers, the Culture and Tourism Bureau has booked 3,000 tickets in advance and sold them to foreign visitors with tickets and air tickets.

This approach makes it even more difficult to get tickets for this game. The black market price of ordinary tickets has exceeded 10,000 Hong Kong dollars each in the morning.

TVB hosts also mentioned these situations one after another when broadcasting the news, in order to let the audience in front of the TV know the scale and importance of this game.

At the same time, it can also arouse the curiosity of the audience. They want to see how many celebrities are in the audience? How about a boxing match?

As long as the publicity can arouse the curiosity of the audience, it can increase the income from PPV and online broadcasts. This is also the role of publicity and promotion in boxing matches.

After the camera returned to the stadium, the TVB cameraman first focused the live camera on the boxers of both sides of the match.

The host Chen Nianzu also began to introduce Link and Beirut Shumenov.

“Okay, the camera has cut to the gym, and we see that the two boxers are already in place and the weigh-in is going on.

The boxer wearing white competition shorts and white gloves is the current WBA light heavyweight boxing champion Beirut Shumenov. He is a native of Kazakhstan in Central Asia and an Asian boxing champion.

At the age of 28, he is 188 cm tall and 188 cm in wingspan. The current career record is 12 wins and 11 wins. He is a boxer who gets the title of the world ’s boxing champion at least.

 In the boxing match in Berlin, Germany in 2010, he defeated the former WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campi and ascended to the WBA light heavyweight throne.

 The boxer standing opposite him.”

 “Link! Link!”

Without waiting for the host’s introduction, when the live camera projected Link’s image onto the stadium’s big screen, bursts of cheers erupted.

 There are Chinese, Cantonese, English, Korean, Japanese, etc., and various languages ​​​​call Link's name.

Link also raised his head and shook his fist at the camera, and the cheers on the scene became even louder.

“Wow, listen, the whole audience is shouting Link’s name. Link is so popular. Yes, Link is not only the most popular boxer in the world, but also a top singer in the music industry.

The songs "seeyouagain" and "legendsneverdie" that were once popular in Hong Kong are the songs he wrote and sang, as well as the hit songs "allofme", "Givemereason", "neversaynever", "unstoppable", "EverythingYouNeed", "Believer"..."

The host Chen Nianzu read out the names of more than 20 songs in one breath.

Originally, he only wanted to think about a few masterpieces, but it turned out that Link had too many masterpieces.

 More than ten songs from the first three albums topped the Hong Kong pop music charts.

“There are also “GirlsLikeYou”, “HereWithYou”, “Sugar”, etc., there are so many, all of them are Link’s songs.

In addition, Link is also a Hollywood movie star, starring in "The Fighter", "Suicide Squad", "Scandal Project", and the recent hit "Midnight in Paris".

In addition, the Hollywood blockbuster "Captain America" ​​has now entered the promotion period. The production cost of this movie is 140 million US dollars. It is produced by Marvel Pictures and Paramount Pictures, and the person who plays Captain America in this movie is Mr. Link Baker."

“Is Link so powerful? He is a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a movie star. Isn’t he tired from having so many part-time jobs?”

  In a high-end apartment in Causeway Bay, actor Chen Xiaochun was lying on the sofa watching live TV, holding a toothpick in his mouth and rubbing his feet with his hands. The sun outside the window was just right.

 “Hmph! Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?”

His wife Ying Cai'er turned back and rolled her eyes at him.

"The news said that after becoming a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a billionaire, Link still insists on training every day, at least four hours, with extra time filming, composing, recording albums, and managing multiple companies with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars. company of.

He is so diligent that the media in the United States call him a model worker.

They are all men, but you said you don’t want to learn from him. You just lie on the sofa and rub your feet every day if you have nothing to do.

Phew, put your stinky feet down quickly, it’s so disgusting. "

Seeing Ying Cai'er raise her palm, Chen Xiaochun quickly put down his feet, changed his posture, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, I want to learn from him and be a playboy?"

"You dare! I ask you to learn from Link just to learn his good side, not to learn from his philandering. If you dare to hook up with a **** the set, be careful and I will beat you up. I also learned boxing from Link."

Ying Cai'er said while clenching her fists.

 “Did you learn boxing from Link? When and where?”

Chen Xiaochun blinked his eyes and asked nervously.

“Online, of course. What are you thinking about all day long?”

Ying Cai'er picked up an orange and threw it at him.

Chen Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa to peel an orange and eat it.

On TV, after introducing the two sides of the competition, the host switched the camera to the audience.

"Wow, they are all big stars. There are more stars than those at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Let's take a look at who they are. Chen Long, Stephen Chow, Tony Leung and Lau Jialin, Donnie Yen, Cheung Suet-you, Wang Fei, Nicholas Tse, Louis Koo, and Huang Rihua "

The live camera scanned around the VIP seats and found all the big-name celebrities from Hong Kong Island.

 Some dressed up to attend, while others dressed casually and even wore hats to hide their identities.

 Seeing these people, viewers who didn’t know it thought this program was a live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony.

In addition to these stars, many of Hong Kong's richest people and their families are sitting in the best-visited seats around the ring.

Almost everyone from the Li family, the Huo family, the Lin family, the Guo family and other families came, mainly the second and third generations.

“Wow, Mr. Huo and the others can only sit in the VIP area when they come, so who are the people sitting in the luxurious box?”

 Chen Xiaochun exclaimed when he saw these people.

“Huh, who has anything to do with you? Last week, you started grabbing tickets. Where are the tickets?”

Ying Cai'er looked at him angrily. When she heard someone ringing the doorbell outside, she dropped the remote control, got up and went out to open the door.

 Chen Xiaochun shrugged. His wife Ying Cai'er is a die-hard fan of Link. She not only likes Link's songs and movies, but now she even watches his boxing matches. It's really getting more and more dangerous.

Last week he got two VIP tickets from TVB. Later, my friend Huang Guanzhong said that he wanted to take his girlfriend Zhu Jun to the game, but he could not buy VIP tickets and asked him if there was any channel.

Chen Xiaochun gave up the two tickets to Huang Guanzhong without even thinking about it.

Afterwards, I went home and told Ying Cai'er that I couldn't buy it. Ying Cai'er asked her agent to find a scalper to buy it. Unfortunately, she went too late and couldn't buy the VIP ticket.

 The viewing effect of ordinary tickets is average, and it is not as good as watching high-definition live broadcast at home.

 But because of this incident, Ying Cai'er complained to him for several days, and she complained the most today.

But Chen Xiaochun didn't care. His wife was so hot and obsessed with Link. It would be bad if Link saw her, so it was better to be on guard.

 “Chen Xiaochun, don’t lie down, look who’s coming.”

Hearing Ying Caier shouting outside the door, Chen Xiaochun looked up and saw his friends Zheng Yijian and Xie Tianhua bringing their girlfriends over to visit, with beer and snacks in their hands.

Chen Xiaochun chuckled, quickly stood up, put his hands on the shoulders of his two friends, and sat down to watch the boxing match together.

 At the competition site.

The host introduced a circle of celebrity guests in the VIP seats.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 500 celebrities who took the initiative to show up at the scene today, including those from cross-strait, three places, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and other places, and each of them has a net worth of more than 10 million.

 There are probably even more celebrities who have not shown up.

According to the analysis of guests invited by TVB, the reason why this boxing match is sought after by so many celebrities.

 The first reason is that boxing is a niche sport in China. The four major boxing organizations have not held world-class boxing matches on Hong Kong Island in the past.

 This is the first time, and everyone finds it fresh, so they all come to support it.

 The second reason is Link, who is also an unavoidable topic in this game.

His reputation is too great, with various titles and auras.

 Many people may have watched his games on TV and online before, but had no chance to watch them in person.

Now that Link has finally come to Hong Kong Island to hold a competition, it is a rare opportunity, so everyone will naturally go and support it.

 There are third, fourth, and fifth reasons.

For example, the WBA boxing champion Beirut is an Asian with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. The organizer has been relatively successful in publicity, and the game has received strong official support. These reasons have contributed to the grand event. Unprecedented.

 The game is about to begin.

Link and his opponent Beirut stepped onto the boxing ring one after another.

 “Wow, Link has a great figure, very sexy!”

“Link can sing, act, and fight really well. He’s amazing.”

"I heard that Link is worth more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Why would he participate in such a dangerous competition if he is so rich?"

“The news said that Link’s appearance fee for this game was nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is too exaggerated. One game will earn us a lifetime of money.”

 When Link took the stage, the audience in the audience and in front of the TV were talking a lot.

 The men looked envious when they saw Link, not only for his figure but also for his ability to make money.

 Female viewers are relatively simple. They simply appreciate Link’s good looks and explosive figure.

 Chen Xiaochun was slapped for this because when Link came on stage, he suddenly changed the channel. He was slapped on the thigh by his fierce wife and was deprived of the right to control the remote control.

When Link took the stage, there was an episode. When the TVB camera scanned the audience area in the back row, a banner was found.

It says, ‘Defeat the scumbag Link, get back the fairy sister, and Beirut will win’.

 This banner was also supported by many heavenly fans at the scene. They started shouting "Beirut must win".

Link also saw this banner on the stage, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at his opponent in this game, Beirut Shumenov, who has black hair, black eyes, and a triangular face, a very common Central Asian face.

The opponent’s most important victory was against ‘Ice’ Montel Griffin in 2008.

Griffin is the former WBC light heavyweight champion. He defeated boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in March 1997, ending Roy Jones Jr.'s 35-game winning streak and giving Roy Jones Jr. his first career victory. Defeat.

From this perspective, it is not entirely luck that Beirut Shumenov became the WBA boxing champion in 11 games. He has the ability to become the light heavyweight world boxing champion.

 Dang Dang Dang!

The competition is about to begin, and the ring referee begins to announce the rules of the competition. No elbows, no hugs, no hits to the back of the head, no hits to the crotch. You must separate after hearing the referee shout 'break', etc.

 The time was limited, and the referee only announced a few main ring rules and did not list them all.

 After making sure that both parties understood, the referee took a step back, raised his arms high and cut down.

 “Boxing!”

 The game started. Link and Beirut touched their fists, and then each took a step back, keeping a close eye on the other's moves.

 At this time, one side usually chooses to take the initiative and drive up the rhythm of the game.

Link waited for a second and saw that the opponent had no intention of taking the initiative to punch, and seemed to be preparing to take a defensive stance in this match.

He did not hesitate, took the initiative to approach the opponent, raised his fist and hit the opponent.

　　Bang!

I don’t know whether the opponent was not prepared or underestimated the weight of his punch.

This punch actually penetrated the opponent's defense of both arms and hit Beirut's chin.

Beirut was beaten so hard that he staggered, saliva squirted from the corner of his mouth, and he quickly took two steps back. His back hit the right rope before he could stabilize his body.

"Wow!"

The audience let out a burst of exclamations. No one expected that only five seconds after the game started, Link would be able to punch the opponent in the face. It was really hard.

From here, it seems that Link did not mess around last night.

 "Come on Link! Link is the champion!"

 “Come on Beirut! Defeat Link and get back the fairy sister.”

The audience at the scene became loud and noisy.
