Chapter 727 No. [-] Weekly Box Office in North America
Wang Xiaohu did not expect that after "Ip Man 2" was released in North America, it would attract the real boxing champion.

From Winterdur's report, the two major boxing organizations WBA and WBC seem to be very dissatisfied with the victory of Chinese martial arts over Western boxing, and want to set up a fighting arena to let the Chinese experience the power of boxing.

For Winterdur, this is a very bad thing. After all, Concord International is just a film company engaged in the entertainment industry. Although the boss is very good at fighting, it only means that he is powerful. From the old Wen's standpoint, Concord International is honestly doing a good job in the film industry, and there is absolutely no need to pay attention to the provocations of the two major boxing organizations.

But Wang Xiaohu is not the case, he thinks this is good news.

So he didn't even think about it, and immediately said to Winterdur: "Old Wen, fax the invitation letter right away, I'm very interested in this thing."

"Damn! Boss, I'm dying of a headache, but you said you're interested!" Winterdur yelled on the phone: "Are you crazy? They are boxing champions, real boxing champions, not Schwarzenegger Such a flower shelf!"

"I know they are boxing champions, so you don't have to worry about this matter, let me handle it." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Let's tell you some good news."

Now that the BOSS said so, Winterdur had no choice but to give up, sorted out his emotions for a long time, and then said: "The good news is more exciting, "Ip Man 2" has now ranked first in the North American weekly box office, aha , as if growing wings, in front of "Ip Man 2", "Mother and Daughter Love" and "Flash Dance" that were released at the same time have all gone to hell, Boss, do you know how much the box office is in a week?"

"Five million U.S. dollars?" Wang Xiaohu tried to ask. After all, Americans have a high level of consumption, and the movie market is more mature than the Asian market. As long as the movies are not very rubbish, they will get several million U.S. dollars in a week.

"No, you underestimated your own star power too much. Now Chinese movies are very popular in Hollywood, especially the Kung Fu movies produced by our Concord International. Did you know that there are 796 million U.S. dollars. God, "007: Octopus Girl" "It was only 678 million US dollars when the painting fell, and we surpassed it in a week."

When it comes to box office revenue, Winterdur swept away his previous depression and worry, and became incoherent on the phone: "Boss, can you understand my mood now, as long as we maintain the current publicity plan, the first round of screenings will win 4000 million is not a problem, plus the re-screening, it will definitely exceed [-] million in a year."

"Really, this is really maddeningly good news, old Wen, you are about to receive a huge bonus again!"

"Ip Man 2" reached 800 million US dollars a week in North America, which was definitely beyond Wang Xiaohu's expectations. He knew that the 4000 million box office that Winterdur said was a conservative estimate. We must know that the current comprehensive income of the United States not only relies on movie theaters, but also TV broadcasts, video tapes, etc., not to mention the excellent music production of "Ip Man 2", it is completely possible to release CD records.

"But you forgot one thing, if we win the group arena organized by WBA and WBC, the box office of "Ip Man 2" will blow out again!" Wang Xiaohu laughed.

"Ugh!" Winterdur was dumb. After a long while, he said angrily, "Boss, this seems unrealistic. I don't think Chinese martial arts can beat boxing."

Hearing that Old Wen was showing American superiority again, Wang Xiaohu joked, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"If the Chinese side wins the Huayang boxing match, all your box office share in Xiehe International will be cancelled."

"What if you win in boxing?" Old Wen is also a money lover. In his heart, boxing will always be invincible.

"I'll give you another double share."

"Okay, deal! In the name of God, don't go back on your word!" Old Wen hurriedly said, "I'll fax the invitation letter and the betting agreement later."

"Please, don't be so impatient, it's night over there!" Wang Xiaohu laughed.

"It's okay, as long as I have money to take, I don't care day or night." Old Wen hung up the phone after finishing speaking, probably it was a matter of tossing about the betting agreement.

Not to mention how excited Lao Wen was, Wang Xiaohu put down the phone and immediately called home.

"Azhi, ask Brother Xiaolong to answer the phone."

After a while, Bruce Lee answered the phone and complained a little: "Xiaohu, I was looking for you. Although the veterans from the mainland are good in courage, some of them are disabled and crooked. Let's train them." It was exhausting."

"Haha, don't use the way you trained Donnie Yen to deal with them, as long as they control the enemy with one move, use their marksmanship flexibly, and reach the level of bodyguards in Zhongnanhai!"

For Bruce Lee's complaints, Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to persuade him.

"That won't work. I have always pursued perfection. I will never give up until I train them to be the most powerful bodyguards and killers in the world." Sure enough, Bruce Lee became stubborn again.

After comforting for a long time, Wang Xiaohu said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. You will come to my office later. I have a good thing waiting for you."

"What aspect?" Bruce Lee asked, "If it's a small matter, don't bother me."

"Well, the American WBA and WBC have sent us a letter of challenge. They want to hold a Huayang boxing match to prove that boxing is better than Chinese martial arts. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Wait for me, I'll be right there!"

Bruce Lee is also short-tempered. He appeared in Wang Xiaohu's office within 15 minutes after throwing the phone away. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Where is the challenge book? Give it to me quickly. I want to see which boxing champions come to challenge." !"

"Don't worry, Lao Wen hasn't faxed the materials yet." Wang Xiaohu stood up and made tea for him, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Bruce Lee spread his hands and said, "Do you still need to ask? Everyone has issued a challenge letter. It must be next. I have competed with karate, taekwondo, jujitsu, muay thai, and several famous boxers from mainland China. I have never competed with world boxers." The king has discussed it before, and there is such a good thing, how can I give up."

Wang Xiaohu looked at him with a smile, and said that although Bruce Lee in his previous life had competed with many international experts, they were all done in private. After all, he had already become famous at that time, so he had to worry about his own reputation.

In this life, he has escaped from his shell. There are not many people in the world who know that he is still alive. What's more, after experiencing life and death, he has seen through many things. Now he is focused on perfecting Jeet Kune Do, and he will never miss the opportunity to fight.

After Bruce Lee got over his excitement, he pondered: "Xiaohu, I feel that this group arena match is very meaningful and will be very helpful for promoting MMA events in the future."

"I think so too." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "At first, I wanted to wait for the time to mature, at least after the MMA model was promoted in Asia, before fighting against boxing. I didn't expect people to lose their composure first."

Bruce Lee suddenly stared, looked at Wang Xiaohu and said, "Brother, you arranged a Huayang boxing match in "Ip Man 2", and let Chinese Kung Fu and boxing confront each other, did you have a premeditated plan?"

"It's a bit premeditated." Wang Xiaohu didn't deny this point: "But you already knew about my premeditation. It's nothing more than trying to use "Ip Man 2" to drive the domestic martial arts to let go of their burdens, revitalize Chinese martial arts, and get rid of the current misleading dance skills. and disagreement."

"Haha, it seems that it was unintentional." Bruce Lee laughed and said, "No matter what, I will definitely participate in the competition. You can find a place for me!"

"You are the main force!" Wang Xiaohu also smiled: "Besides, I even made a bet with Old Wen."

Wang Xiaohu told Bruce Lee about the bet, and the latter laughed and scolded: "Did you bet with Lao Wen because you knew that I would definitely participate in the competition?"

"That's right!" Wang Xiaohu nodded vigorously.

While the two were joking, Winterdur's fax was sent to the office by the staff.

Old Wen was very dedicated, not only sent the invitation letter and the betting agreement, but also attached some materials of the two major boxing organizations.

In today's world, there are two influential World Boxing Associations, WBA and WBC.

The WBA World Boxing Association is the oldest worldwide boxing organization, basically controlling the entire boxing competition in the United States.At the same time, many heavyweight boxing champions were born. For example, Ali, Fraser and Foreman were called "the Big Three in heavyweight boxing in the 70s". These three are well-deserved boxing champions. There are WBA words.

However, the WBA often conflicts with the WBC of the World Boxing Council. The main reason is that the WBC was rebuilt in 1979, posing a threat to the WBA in terms of popularity and strength. It's a trick of poaching.

What is rare this time is that the two major boxing organizations unanimously aimed at Concorde International.

The invitation letter reads: "Sir Tiger Wang, our WBA is very dissatisfied with your "Ip Man 2" and believes that you are deliberately discrediting the image of boxing. Now we ask you to withdraw all kinds of disrespect towards boxing, otherwise we will I will use actual actions to prove that boxing is better than the so-called Chinese Kung Fu!"

The WBC is similar, with a more powerful tone than the WBA. He said bluntly: "Tiger King, let's fight. I will choose the best boxing champion in the organization and compete with Chinese Kung Fu. Don't you dare?" dare?"

"Tsk tsk, it's full of gunpowder!" Wang Xiaohu flicked the invitation letter and said, "I don't know who they will send over? Foreman or Tyson?"

"I've heard of Foreman, who is Tyson?" Bruce Lee has been paying close attention to the world boxing rankings, and he feels very unfamiliar with Tyson's name.

"Uh, a newcomer." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Old Wen to release a press conference in Los Angeles. After receiving these two letters of challenge, there is a troublesome matter. Who will we send here? We can't just rely on You and me?"

"Hey, isn't the fighting competition going to be held soon? Choose a few outstanding seedlings to participate directly, do you still expect the mainland to send people?" Bruce Lee asked with a frown.

"I don't count on mainland China. It seems that this matter depends on us." Wang Xiaohu sighed.
