America is in control

Chapter 300 Yuan Jiaban and the light heavyweight’s first opponent
In the next few days, Liu Jiang and the members of the audition team successively finalized the actors for each of the main roles in "Charlie's Angels".

Naturally, there is nothing to say about the three heroines. Jennifer Connelly plays Dai Lan, who has a sweet appearance and an explosive figure.

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Alex, who has a cold appearance but a wild heart, a mixture of elegance and wildness.

As for Charlize Theron! She successfully won the role of Natalie, who has a graceful figure, brilliant blond hair, and innocent innocence.

The selection of the three heroines is a top priority, and other roles are relatively less important. Naturally, Liu Jiang did not pursue excellence.

After a series of discussions and comparisons, the audition team finally selected an actor named Sam Rockwell to play the male lead in "Charlie's Angels".

Sam Rockwell is 29 years old, born in Daly City, California, USA, and graduated from Ruth Asawa Art Institute in San Francisco.

He debuted very early and has rich acting experience. His overall image and temperament are very consistent with the character of the male protagonist in "Charlie's Angels".

In addition, Sam Rockwell's salary is not expensive, and his acting skills are relatively top-notch.

His agent was extraordinarily polite, hinting that the audition team was willing to make certain concessions on salary.

In the end, Sam Rockwell defeated other competitors and successfully won the male lead in "Charlie's Angels".

As for the other minor supporting roles, the audition team didn't take much effort to identify them one by one.

In order to avoid suspicion, Liu Jiang did not participate in the entire salary negotiation that followed.

He handed over the work to the negotiation team headed by Jonathan. The three heroines' salaries were almost equal, so there was no need to desperately lower the price.

As for the other actors, they can do their best and their pay can be lowered.

At the same time, the casting of the "Death Is Coming" crew has basically come to an end.

For most movie roles, Liu will let the audition team make the decision collectively.

He only interfered in the selection of the film's heroine, and strongly recommended Milla Jovovich to play the female lead in "Death Comes to Me".

After Natalie was rejected from Mira's second round audition, Liu Jiang called her.

The two had an in-depth communication over the phone, and Mira finally agreed to give it a try on the set of "Death Is Coming".

The main reason why General Liu is so attentive is of course not because he is greedy for the other party's body and those top-notch legs.

He knew that Mira would become famous again because of the science fiction action movie "The Fifth Element".

Signing a film contract with the other party before the movie is released has only advantages and no disadvantages for the crew of "Death is Coming".

Why would General Liu not do it?

Besides, if there was a chance to taste the biological queen, how could he miss it?

In the end, Milla Jovovich lived up to expectations, winning the recognition of James Wong and Glen Morgan, and successfully won the female lead in "Death Comes to Me".

As for the male lead in "Death is Coming", it was won by a Canadian actor named Devin Sawa.

Devon Savoie is 19 years old and was born in Vancouver. He looks quiet and quiet, and the first impression he leaves on others is not that profound.

The strange thing is that James Huang seems to be very optimistic about this young actor.

General Liu was a little curious about this, so he quietly asked the other party the reason in private.

The answer given by James Huang is very interesting. He said that when Devin Sawa was flying to Los Angeles for an audition, he would look at the engine of the plane every few minutes.
Liu Jiang also didn’t know if this was a story made up by Devon Savoie to win the leading actor.

But no matter what, this Canadian kid is smart enough and his entry point is just right.

The fact that the other party won the leading role in "Death is Coming" was definitely not just luck!

In the following period, all the cast and crew members of the two movies signed contracts one after another.

Jonathan implemented General Liu's ideas and appropriately lowered the salaries of some actors, squeezing out some water.

All cast and crew members were paid within a reasonable range and did not exceed the original budget.

During this period, Liu will convene several meetings with the creative staff of the two crews.

While getting familiar with the script, it also allows these actors and crew to become familiar with it as soon as possible.

Directors Joseph McGinty-Nitcher and James Wong were responsible for many specific preparations for the two crews.

Jonathan and Glen Morgan were also on hand to assist the two directors in the entire project preparation.

As the main producer, Liu will still be responsible for coordinating the overall situation. Of course, those specific matters will be left to his subordinates.

After the two crews gradually got on the right track, General Liu gave Jonathan a new task.

Let him, with the cooperation of Li Chengxiong, go to Xiangjiang to find a martial artist named Yuan Jiaban.

It would be best to invite Yuan Heping or Yuan Xiangren to serve as the action director of "Charlie's Angels".

Hollywood action movies of this era are still dominated by the dull style of going straight to the top.

It doesn't have the smooth moves, sharp routines, unique and coherent beauty of later action movies.

In the field of action movies in the 90s, Hong Kong undoubtedly surpassed Hollywood by a lot.

Most American audiences in this era have never seen Chinese Kung Fu with its extremely gorgeous moves.

In order for the three heroines of "Charlie's Angels" to play wonderfully and beautifully in the movie.

Also for the sake of the movie's box office, Liu Jiang racked his brains to come up with such a crooked trick.

Soon, news came back from Xiangjiang that after careful consideration, Yuan Heping, the leader of the Yuan family class known as "Eighth Master" in the world, agreed to the invitation of New Caesar Entertainment and was willing to serve as the action director of "Charlie's Angels".

Together with his brother Yuan Xiangren, he took some members of the Yuan Family Class and took a plane across the ocean to Hollywood.

General Liu sent someone to take them to the New Caesar Entertainment Company and entertained them warmly.

During the dinner, he had an in-depth communication with Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren, and fully explained his understanding of the action style of "Charlie's Angels".

Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren were a little surprised but also expressed their attitudes.

They agreed very much with General Liu's idea, but they also put forward many harsh conditions.

The most unacceptable thing is that the three heroines must train for more than 6 hours a day.

This was very overwhelming for the three women, who had never received any systematic fighting training.

There was no other way. In order to achieve the best effect, Liu Jiang gritted his teeth and supported Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren.

Over and over again, they did the work of the three top beauties, doing everything they could to help them! Fortunately, the three women's cards are not particularly big now, and their professionalism has not disappeared.

The three top beauties reluctantly agreed to General Liu's request after asking for a lot of benefits.

Under the supervision of two top martial artists, Jennifer Connelly and Charlize Theron began rigorous special training.

Catherine Zeta Jones did not relax either. Yuan Heping and Yuan Xiangren sent a martial artist from the Yuan family class to Mexico to assist each other in training.

The preparations of the two crews were on the right track, and Liu Jiang had settled the matter of special training for three top beauties. A few days after Ansheng's day, he suddenly received a call from Louis Duval.

"John, how has your competitive state recovered recently?"

"Didn't you say last time that your weight increase has been completed and you just need a little time to get back to your best competitive condition?"

"I've almost reached an agreement with the manager of WBC light heavyweight champion Montel Julian Griffin. Now I'm just waiting for a word from you and your first light heavyweight match will be finalized!"

As soon as the call was connected, Louis Duva's deep and powerful voice came from the phone receiver.

"Mr. Dewar, I feel that my current competitive state has returned to its peak. I can stand in the light heavyweight boxing ring and challenge the boxing champion at any time!"

"For me, it doesn't matter who the opponent is. I have no opinion. I can accept it no matter who the opponent is!"

General Liu replied with great confidence and his tone was very high.

There is no way, his current competitive state is really good.

As his weight increased, Liu Jiang's body became more muscular. His serratus anterior muscles were extremely developed and strong, making him look particularly terrifying.

"Very Good! John, you have to get ready as soon as possible! I will make this game happen in the shortest possible time!"

Louis Duva smiled, praised the other party, and expressed his attitude.

"Don't worry! Mr. Dewar, I will face this game in the best competitive condition!"

Liu Jiang once again made a guarantee to the other party.

"Okay, I will notify you as soon as there is any news."

"Okay! Mr. Dewar!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

This old man, Louis Duval, seems to be very capable!
It took such a short time to get the manager of WBC light heavyweight champion Montel Julian Griffin.

The efficiency of the other party seems to be much higher than Bob's old fox!

Of course, this may also be Louis Dewar taking the opportunity to show his strength and highlight the power of the main event promotion company.

After all, this is the first time that the two parties have cooperated to organize a boxing event. Whichever company can gain the upper hand will be able to dominate the event.

I don’t know how things are going with my boxing manager Terry and the head of the logistics team Lei? How much did you steal? You must find a time to ask!

It was the first time they cooperated to organize a boxing event. New Caesars Boxing Promotion Company was unable to compete with major event promotion companies for the dominance of the event.

But you can’t tell for sure in the future! You and your men must be prepared for this!
Napoleon said it well, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier!
For your vital boxing career, it’s best to become independent as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Liu Jiang shook his head and suppressed the ambition that suddenly grew in his heart.

He picked up the phone, pulled out Rooney's number, and called.

"Coach, my opponent in the next match is basically determined. He is the WBC light heavyweight champion, a guy named Montel Julian Griffin."

"Montell Julian Griffin? I know this boxer. He is also American, born in Chicago."

"That's right! Coach, I need you to help me collect all his information. I want to make all preparations in advance."

"No problem! John. After collecting all his information, I will come to you as soon as possible!"

"Excuse me, coach!"

Just one day later, Rooney arrived at the French mansion in Beverly Hills with information about Montel Julian Griffin.

After inviting the other party to sit down in the living room, Liu Jiang picked up a piece of information and started reading it.

Montel Julian Griffin, nicknamed 'Ice', was born on June 1970, 6 in Chicago, Illinois.

27 years old, with a height of 170cm and a wingspan of 178cm. He has a professional record of winning 27 games, 18 of which were won by KO/TKO, with a KO rate of 66.7%.

Montel Julian Griffin's father, Griffin Sr., bought a boxing gym in Chicago from Johnny Cuarone (former American world lightweight boxing champion) in 1972.

This boxing gym is located near Hyde Park and only 10 minutes away from the residence of Muhammad Ali, the world heavyweight boxing champion at the time.

Muhammad Ali and Griffin became friends for some reason, and he often trained in each other's boxing gym.

Montel Julian Griffin has been involved in boxing since he can remember. He spends time with his idol Muhammad Ali every day, and his life is wonderful.

However, when he was 12 years old, things changed dramatically. With the death of Griffin Sr., his mother asked him to give up boxing training, and he returned to the life of an ordinary black youth.

In January 1991, 1-year-old Montel Julian Griffin rekindled his love for boxing and decided to return to the ring.

After more than a year of professional training, in 1992, he moved to Midway, California, and defeated Frank Vassar from Spokane, Washington in the American Amateur Boxing Championship.

This was his first amateur boxing victory after being away from the ring for many years.

Next, Montel Julian Griffin fought steadily and created an excellent amateur boxing record of 36 wins and 5 losses.

While competing for the 1992 American Amateur Boxing Championship light heavyweight championship, he defeated future heavyweight boxer Jeremy Williams and qualified to represent the United States in the Olympics.

After losing to Torsten May at the Olympics, Montel Julian Griffin began to compete in professional boxing.

His boxing agent took him to Washington, D.C., where he met a great trainer, Eddie Futch.

Under the tutelage of legendary coach Eddie Fuchs, Montel Julian Griffin has made incredible progress.

Since he stepped into the professional boxing ring, he has won a series of victories and has been racing all the way. He has never lost a game.

In early 1995 and late 1996, Montel Julian Griffin successfully won the right to challenge for the WBC light heavyweight championship after defeating James Toney via two controversial decisions.

Without any hesitation, he challenged Roy Jones Jr., the then WBC light heavyweight champion.

On March 1997, 3, Montel Julian Griffin and Roy Jones Jr. fought for nine rounds at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Atlantic City.

Roy Jones Jr. was disqualified by the referee for repeatedly hitting his opponent in the head while his opponent was kneeling.

Montel Julian Griffin won the WBC light heavyweight championship belt in a way that no one could have imagined, and gave Roy Jones Jr. his first defeat.
