America is in control

Chapter 260: Refine edge technology and pre-game press conference

Time soon came to mid-December, and a huge sum of money, US$12 million, was added to the new Caesars Entertainment account again.

Including the previous cost of selling the overseas full rights and sequel production rights of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss", the total amount is US$3360 million.

This movie alone generated a total revenue of US$5742 million for the new Caesars Entertainment (costs, additional project budgets and publicity expenses are not deducted).

Liu Jiang looked at the report in his hand, his mouth was harder to press than AK, and his expression was on the verge of losing control every second.

No wonder there is so much hot money pouring into Hollywood, and even if they get screwed up, they still refuse to repent and move on.

The amount of money a box-office-successful movie brings in is really scary! What a huge profit!
Not only making a lot of money, but also gaining face and gaining prestige like crazy! This is a perfect combination of fame and fortune!

"Boss, "Searching for the Midnight Kiss" was a huge success. Should we think about the next movie?"

Seeing that General Liu was in a particularly beautiful mood, Jonathan took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

"Well! The preparations for the new movie can begin. Jonathan, how are you collecting the scripts? Is there any one that stands out?"

Liu Jiang put down the report in his hand, thought for a moment, and then made a decision.

"There are some scripts that are really good. I will send them to you later."

Jonathan beamed with joy and said hurriedly.

"There is no need to rush to establish new movie projects, the script is the key! The new Caesars Entertainment Company will continue to adhere to the high-quality strategy in the past few years."

"There is plenty of money in the company's account now. Jonathan, please help me keep an eye on those best-selling novels that are suitable for adaptation into movies."

"That's right! How did you collect the information on the issuing companies I asked you to collect before? Are there any suitable issuing companies that can be acquired?"

Liu Jiang said with a smile. Of course he knew why the other party was so excited.

The success of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" gave Jonathan a bit of invisible power, or prestige, in Hollywood.

If you want to increase this invisible power, you can only do it by selling one movie after another at the box office.

This is the reason why the other party wants to quickly get the project approved for the new movie.

It is certainly impossible for General Liu to support Jonathan's eagerness to seek success and purely gamble on luck.

Unless there is a good script and his approval, a new movie can be approved.

Perhaps Liu will not relent until New Caesar Investment Company has a complete North American distribution channel.

Let the other party borrow the company's name to finance the filming of a movie. It doesn't matter whether the movie hits the market or not, since it's not his money that will be lost anyway.

Maybe you can even make a fortune from the promotion of the movie!
"Boss, I understand! I have collected almost all the information about the distribution company, and I will send it to you later."

Jonathan suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously.

"Don't worry, Jonathan! Once the company figures out the North American distribution channel, I will let you try it!"

Sensing a faint flash of disappointment in the other person's eyes, Liu Jiang immediately drew a big picture.

"Okay! Boss!"

Jonathan nodded to General Liu and left the office happily.

On the third floor of the New Caesar Boxing Club, Liu Jiang was training against a boxer who was good at using dirty tricks.

Rooney is also ruthless. In order to achieve the best preparation effect, he specially found three "special talents" for General Liu.

"John, when you see your opponent hugging you and hitting you with his head, don't be afraid! Open your mouth and scratch him hard with your mouth guard."

"Step on his toes! Why are you standing there in a daze? Just give me as much force as you want."

"Pay attention to the referee's position, use your body to block his sight, hug and hit at the same time, it is best to clamp the opponent's arm to prevent the opponent from taking the opportunity to fight back, and the punch must be fast, accurate and hard."

"Be careful with the elbows your opponent follows up with his punches, don't let your eyebrows break."

"When your opponent leans over and hugs you, use your gloves to cover his mouth and nose. When your opponent hits your ribs, hit his gloves with your elbows."

"Yes! That's it! When your opponent is in a close fight with you, you cover his eyes with your gloves and take the opportunity to punch hard."

Liu Jiang collapsed on the ring, breathing heavily. Although he was wearing protective equipment, he still looked a little embarrassed.

Of course, the three 'special talents' who served as sparring partners didn't get any favors either, and they all grimaced in pain.

"John, drink some water first! Edge skills are not that easy to practice. You are almost getting started now!"

Rooney came over with a bottle of water and comforted General Liu.

"Coach, you haven't taught me how to crack the most important edge technology yet?"

Liu Jiang took the water bottle, took a long sip, and then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"You're talking about crotch punching, right? Hey! That thing is basically unsolvable!"

"If you are unfortunate enough to encounter me, hide if you can! If you really can't, just hit me back hard!"

"Use your greatest strength and don't be afraid of causing trouble. Only by making your opponent afraid will the opponent not continue to use crotch punches!"

Rooney sighed first, then gave a fierce look in his eyes and warned General Liu with a ferocious face.

General Liu felt a chill in his heart and nodded slowly.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided!
If the opponent really dares to use a crotch punch on him, he wants to completely destroy the happy life of those top Hollywood actresses in the second half of their lives.

There’s nothing more to say! Only a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!
Is your sword sharp? My sword is not at a disadvantage!

Time flies by, and there is only one day left before the boxing championship unification fight begins.

After one and a half months of targeted training, Liu Jiang's edge skills have been greatly improved, and his competitive state has reached its peak.

Not only that, in the past month and a half, General Liu has secretly deployed many means to deal with Bob's machinations.

Only when the other party makes the first move and shows off his flaws, will he confront him tit for tat and catch Bob off guard.

This boxing championship unification battle was held at the Forum Arena in Los Angeles and was a home battle.

However, in order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, General Liu asked Lei to book an entire room on the first floor of a five-star hotel near the stadium in advance as a place for the logistics team members to rest peacefully.

On December 12, Liu Jiang appeared at the pre-match press conference in high spirits.

Accompanied by familiar background music, he made his final appearance and strolled to the stage.

Liu Jiang is wearing a black slim-fitting suit with a white shirt underneath, looking handsome and chic.

He randomly struck a few poses, causing the reporters in the audience to press the shutter button frantically, and white light suddenly flashed.

Bernard Hopkins was sitting next to the host at this time, and his slightly sinister eyes fell on General Liu's back.

Feeling that it was almost time to take pictures, Liu Jiang slowly turned around and prepared to walk towards his seat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he met the eyes of Bernard Hopkins.

The viciousness in Bernard Hopkins's eyes was replaced by hypocrisy at some point.

He showed Liu Jiang an extremely hypocritical smile and nodded in greeting. How dare you put this show aside! Do you really think I don’t know what kind of black guy you are?

General Liu cursed in his mind, put on a standard smile on his face, and nodded towards the other party as well.

This harmonious and friendly scene made everyone at the pre-match press conference stunned.

Could it be that the new Caesar John was switched?
Everyone couldn't help but have a question in their hearts.

Liu Jiang looked at Bernard Hopkins calmly while slowly walking towards his seat.

After he sat down on his seat, the host started his usual routine and introduced the situation of this boxing championship unification fight in a jittery manner.

After finally waiting for him to finish speaking, the reporter's question session officially began.

"John, you seem to be in good condition and very relaxed. How many rounds do you plan to use to end this boxing championship unification fight?"

The host named a reporter, who quickly stood up and asked General Liu questions.

Liu Jiang glanced at the reporter who was asking questions in the audience. This guy has some bad intentions! I don't even dare to be so crazy. Who gives you the courage to ask such a question?

"How many rounds? Are you kidding me? Anything can happen in the boxing ring! No one can predict the future!"

"Mr. Hopkins is a very capable boxer and I dare not be careless in the slightest."

"I spent a lot of time preparing for this unification fight."

General Liu avoided this slightly arrogant question and emphasized the strength of his opponent and his own preparations.

This reporter was probably instigated by others to resort to such arrogant tactics.

As for whether the person who instigated him was Bob or Bernard Hopkins, Liu Jiang couldn't guess for a while.

"John, it sounds like you don't have much confidence in winning this game! Can Mr. Hopkins pose such a big threat to you?"

Another reporter stood up and asked General Liu.

"You all underestimate Mr. Hopkins. He is definitely the most terrifying opponent I have faced since I entered the professional boxing world! There is no one!"

General Liu made a serious statement, and his words were not flattering at all.

Although Bernard Hopkins is not particularly outstanding in terms of hard power, this black guy's edge skills are too terrifying.

If he could choose his opponent, General Liu wouldn't even want to face such a dirty thing!

"Mr. Hopkins, do you have anything to say about John's compliment?"

After listening to General Liu's answer, the reporter who asked the question was a little stunned. After being stunned for a moment, he turned to Bernard Hopkins and wanted to hear the person involved's side of the story.

"Thank you very much Mr. John for thinking so highly of me, but he praises me too highly!"

"How can I be that powerful! I'm just an average boxing champion!"

"Mr. John is the real hexagon warrior. You can't find any shortcomings in him."

Bernard Hopkins said humbly, and flattered General Liu with his backhand.

Ouch! not bad! Hexagon warrior! I like this title!

Liu Jiang glanced at Bernard Hopkins next to the host out of the corner of his eye. This black guy's little mouth was so sweet!

But even if you say all the good things, it won't change your miserable fate!

"John, Mr. Hopkins openly showed his kindness to you and expressed his respect for you in public. Will you withhold your hand in tomorrow's game because of this? Or will you still send your opponent to the ICU like before?"

A black reporter stood up and asked two questions with ulterior motives.

General Liu immediately became extremely vigilant. He knew that the trick was coming, and the old fox started to take action!

After carefully looking at the black reporter who asked the question, he found that this black guy was a bit unfamiliar, not the Holy Mother who had been pestering him before.

But the other party is probably in the same group as the Holy Mother, which can be seen from the questions he asked.

Holding back on professional boxing? Care about the tragic fate of losers? It’s not that Our Lady couldn’t ask such a question!

After thinking for a moment, the expression on Liu Jiang's face suddenly became extremely serious, and he spoke word by word.

"I am very honored by Mr. Hopkins' compliment!"

"Professional boxing is a highly competitive and extremely cruel sport. I don't think any boxer will leave his hands in the ring!"

"This is both a disregard for my own safety and the greatest disrespect for my opponent! So no matter which game it is, I will take it seriously and I will try my best!"

"I am a rule-abiding person, and what I did complied with the rules of professional boxing! I feel very sorry for what happened to my previous opponents!"

Liu would give a fairly standard set of rhetoric in response to the black reporter.

This rhetoric is absolutely safe and has no hidden dangers. Even the most critical people cannot find any fault with it!

"That's right! Mr. John said it very well! He deserves the respect of all boxers!"

"I think accidents will inevitably happen in the boxing ring, but as long as it complies with the rules of boxing, no one can make arbitrary accusations against the boxer!"

"This is the consensus of all our boxers! There is nothing wrong with what Mr. John did!"

As soon as Liu Jiang finished speaking, Bernard Hopkins picked up the microphone and spoke out in support. He spoke eloquently to the reporters in the audience, making it seem like he could represent all boxers.

This black guy really knows how to climb up the pole! It is worthy of its ancestors!

General Liu cursed in his heart, but forced a smile on his face and nodded to Bernard Hopkins.

He knew what the other party was planning. Didn't this gangster just want to find a good reason in advance for his dirty tricks?

Just look for it! Anyway, I don’t know who will suffer the consequences tomorrow!

The black reporter was thinking about refuting General Liu's remarks when he was caught off guard by Bernard Hopkins' sudden support and was stunned for a moment.

The reporters in the audience also looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect this black boxing champion to say such words. This guy is so good at slapping his beard and slipping away!

Seeing that the pre-match press conference was about to turn into a performance of two boxing champions praising each other, the reporters gave up. If this continued, tomorrow's newspapers would have no selling point at all!

They asked the two provocative questions one after another, trying to make the two boxing champions fight each other.

However, Liu Jiang and Bernard Hopkins were both shrewd and cunning masters. They did not let the reporters lead them by the nose. Instead, they continued to praise each other carefully with their words.

The reporter's question session ended peacefully. Liu Jiang waved to Lei beside him, who immediately came to him.

"Check the reporter who asked the first question and the black reporter. I feel like someone is behind these two people!"

"Okay, Boss."

Lei responded, turned around and left to make corresponding arrangements.

In the following pre-match weigh-in session, both boxing champions passed the test smoothly.

The last hurdle before the competition has been passed, and now all we have to do is wait for the boxing championship unification battle to officially begin.
