Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 118 New Program

further cooperation?
Zhang Yang has such a plan!

Originally, Mr. Qiu didn't take the initiative to mention it, and Zhang Yang planned to wait for "Counterattack" to end before recreating "The Ultimate Fighter", a popular program that made UFC a household name. Now that he took the initiative to bring it to his door, Zhang Yang naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Of course it's no problem to cooperate. I happen to have a show I want to do, but you have to give me some time to prepare."

programme?

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, Mr. Qiu frowned slightly.

He came to Zhang Yang this time with the intention of wanting Zhang Yang to film a TV series.

He opened his mouth to mention the TV series, but Zhang Yang was very interested. Mr. Qiu finally swallowed his words and asked instead, "New show? Yangzi, what kind of new show do you want to shoot?" ah?"

"This time, I will select some newcomers who want to become mixed martial arts fighters, a total of sixteen people, divided into two teams, and then Zhou Billy and Lu Huiguang will lead the two teams respectively to guide these fledgling newcomers and let the audience Together we will witness their growth from the most immature boxers to a qualified fighter."

"When the three-month training period is over, I will let them compete internally first, and the fighter who performs best in this show, I will directly give him a championship fight in his weight class at the end of the month."

When Zhang Yang finished speaking his thoughts, Mr. Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the TV series produced by ATV have now begun to be screened, the Peak Fighting League championship fights broadcast at the end of each month can still bring a lot of ratings to the TV station. Obviously, this mixed martial arts craze has not completely faded.

Zhang Yang's launch of a new program at this stage will undoubtedly be able to seize the tail of this residual heat, and the basic ratings will not be too bad. And if the effect and response of this program are good enough, it will compete with ATV, which holds the broadcast rights of the Peak Fighting League. This is the icing on the cake.

The publicity of ideas is really good every time. This new program...is worth a try!
Mr. Qiu thought about it, and immediately put aside the invitation to Zhang Yang to film the TV series, and said, "What a great idea. You can prepare boldly for this show. When you have completed the preliminary preparations, please contact me at any time. I can send someone at any time." Go shoot.”

"No problem, I will inform you as soon as there is a result."

Lifting the coffee on the table as a wine glass, Zhang Yang raised the glass and took a sip.

After putting down the cup, Zhang Yang took Manyu with him, got up and left.

After walking out of the cafe, Manyu took out the car keys from her pocket and was about to drive Zhang Yang away, but Zhang Yang waved her hand.

"Ayu, you drive to Jiang Fude for me and ask him if there is anyone he would like to recommend to participate in the program I just talked about with Mr. Qiu. I have something to go to see Zhou Billy, so I won't go there with you."

Zhang Manyu was startled and asked subconsciously: "Then I'll send you off first..."

"No, I'll just take a taxi there, you go to hell."

Watching Zhang Manyu drive away half-heartedly, Zhang Yang waited for a taxi on the side of the road.

Sitting in the back seat, Zhang Yang spoke in a deep voice.

"Victoria Harbor, Master."

……

After half an hour.

The taxi stopped in a warehouse district near the port.

Zhang Yang got out of the car and followed the number on the warehouse, slowly arriving at an abandoned warehouse in the corner.

Knocking on the side door of the warehouse, a deep voice came from inside.

"Who?" "Brother Min invited you."

"Crack."

The latch behind the iron door made a harsh noise. After a moment, the side door was opened and Zhang Yang stepped in.

Following the dim light overhead, I glanced inside.

This abandoned warehouse has long been converted into a special training venue. Several sandbags are hung in two rows. The middle area is covered with a soft mat, and two strong men are practicing on it. While practicing Jiu Jitsu, Zhou Bili held his shoulders and led the remaining students in a circle, carefully observing their movements.

When inviting Chen Huimin to star in "Slaying the Wolf", Chen Huimin asked Zhang Yang to help him train a group of people.

But at that time, Zhang Yang was still busy filming a movie, so he gave these people to Zhou Billy to be responsible for training.

After the filming of the film was completed, although Zhang Yang came to guide them several times and taught them a few lessons, due to time issues, most of the time, Zhang Yang could only let Zhou Billy continue to be in charge.

"Billy, how's everyone's practice going?"

After separating from the crowd, Zhang Yang came to Zhou Billy and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Billy turned around and saw Zhang Yang, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's not bad. In two months, it's beyond expectations to be able to practice like this."

After a pause, Zhou Billy pointed at the two people who were fighting fiercely on the soft mat, and continued: "Like them, they already have the basic concepts of target positions, and they have also mastered some standing and ground techniques. The more talented among this group of people.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang also looked at the two people at the end.

Sure enough, as Zhou Billy said, the two people fighting on the soft mat did not just use brute force, but had begun to consciously compete for the target position, and even began to know when they could not win the target position. Try to perform locking techniques.

Although this kind of chaotic multi-player actual combat is not very effective, if it is a one-on-one scene, it is very useful. Especially in some areas with restricted terrain, the speed of the soft lock technique to solve the opponent will not be faster than How much difference does the strike system have?

After nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Yang patted Zhou Billy on the shoulder.

"Well done. When these people are almost at their level, we can work together. It's been really hard on you during this period. When this matter is settled, if you have any requirements, just tell me."

Hearing the promise given by Zhang Yang, Zhou Billy just smiled and said nothing.

As early as when filming the first "Black Boxing", Zhou Billy spent all day in Zhang Yang's boxing gym.

During that time, Zhang Yang taught him everything and never took a dime from him. In subsequent films, he also appeared on the big screen many times and gained a lot of fame. Later, the boxing gym was changed to At the Mixed Martial Arts Center, Zhou Billy also successfully put on the championship belt, and there was never any delay in terms of prize money or winning bonus.

Following Zhang Yang, he made money, gained fame, and continued to grow in strength.

Zhou Billy is not a person with many thoughts. He is already very satisfied with his current life, so what else can he ask for?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Yang raised his hand and patted his shoulder. Just when he was about to speak and persuade him to be proactive, suddenly, there was a quick knock on the iron door of the warehouse.

As the iron door opened, Chen Huimin's Da Long walked in quickly and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Brother Billy, please stop practicing for now. Brother Min is in a hurry to find manpower to start work!"
