Chapter 114 I, Zhang Yi, took over (Part 2)
TVB, Shao Daheng's office, Zhang Yi put down the report and frowned, looked at Shao Daheng, and said: "I didn't expect the box office to drop so much?"
Shao Daheng said somewhat depressedly: "Based on the previous attendance rate, it is entirely possible to have a box office of 40 million, and it may even break your record of "Crazy Racing", but I didn't expect that they would mess with it and try to break through 4,000."
It seems impossible."
Although "Ip Man" was not filmed and invested by Shaw Brothers, Shaw Brothers was the producer, and the theaters it was released in were also owned by Shaw Brothers. "Ip Man" suffered the most box office losses, not Zhang Yi, but Shaw Brothers.
The box office of Zhang Yi's "Ip Man" declined, and it showed a linear decline. Obviously, it was not that the box office potential was exhausted, but because of Zhang Yi's avoidance of the war.
The box office of "Ip Man" has declined, while New Art City's "Family Portrait" has skyrocketed, catching up with "Ip Man".
"Haha, Uncle Liu, don't worry, the lost audience will come back." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
When Shao Daheng heard this, he frowned, looked at Zhang Yi, and said: "Don't you want to take on the challenge of that Muay Thai master? The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. With your achievements today, there is no
You have to compete with a martial artist. For this loss of box office, if you just write two scripts and sell them, there will still be extra. Besides, the box office of "Ip Man" really cannot reach 40 million, but 30 million can always be done, right? Three
Ten million, your kid can recoup the cost and make a fortune in Hong Kong, let alone all over Southeast Asia. Isn’t it necessary to take that risk?”
Shao Daheng naturally knew that if Zhang Yi accepted the challenge of the Muay Thai master, the lost audience of "Ip Man" would definitely return. If he could still win the battle, it would also stimulate the growth of the box office of "Ip Man". But this
The risk is too great and not worth it.
In his opinion, there is no need for Zhang Yi to risk a loss of tens of thousands. In the film industry today, one of Zhang Yi's scripts has been sold for tens of millions, and it is still priced at no market. And Zhang Yi writes scripts,
Still famous for being fast.
"Isn't it just a competition in the ring? It's not about adventure." Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Are you really planning to take it?" Shao Daheng asked with some confusion.
"When you are in the arena, you can't help yourself." Zhang Yi nodded, and then said, "Unless the Huo family and I don't build that martial arts building, they will never give up. They will definitely try their best to force me to enter the ring.
Only in this way can we prevent the establishment of the Jianguo Martial Arts Building. Competition in the martial arts world is more cruel and bloody than business competition."
Shao Daheng opened his mouth and wanted to ask Zhang Yi if the movie was shot well. If he had nothing to do, he would build a martial arts building and get involved in the martial arts world. However, he didn't ask in the end. He knew that Zhang Yi was a martial arts practitioner and could do it.
It is still a true inheritance of Chinese martial arts, so it cannot be tested by ordinary people.
"How confident are you if there is a real competition? I heard that the Thai boxer has a great background and is very powerful." Shao Daheng knew that he could not persuade Zhang Yi, so he asked immediately.
"I have read the detailed information of Na Chachai. He is thirty-six years old. He has practiced Muay Thai since he was a child, and later practiced yoga. He has fought in thirty-six competitions, large and small, and killed thirty-two of his opponents. The remaining four opponents are all disabled. He is
He has a military background and is a combat instructor for a certain army in Thailand." Zhang Yi said calmly.
"What! Then you are still competing with him!" Shao Daheng's eyes widened when he heard this. In thirty-six games, he killed thirty-two opponents and the rest were all disabled. This is not a boxer, but a god of death.
For comparison, Zhang Yifang was eighteen years old. In a duel, he killed two enemies.
"Haha, I have studied his fighting records, and I have also seen him. However, although Muay Thai is famous for its fighting style, if he really goes to the ring, he has no hidden methods. He will win 64 times. I will win 6 times, and he will win 4 times. "Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"You really want to compete with him? Do you still have so much confidence?" Shao Daheng was a little doubtful of Zhang Yi's confidence.
"I have a detailed understanding of him, and I know myself and my enemy. But he knows very little about me." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Besides, I accepted his challenge, but is he qualified to enter the ring with me? But it’s still unknown!”
"What do you mean?" Shao Daheng asked doubtfully, but remembering Zhang Yi's previous martial arts competition, he somewhat guessed it.
"It would be unseemly for boxers in the martial arts world to have a lottery if they don't have the funds. With such a big name, how could I be embarrassed to pay less for the lottery? I'm going to take all the property I own to the bank as a mortgage loan to do it. The prize money for the competition. If Nachachai can't even raise the prize money, what qualifications does he have to ask me to enter the ring." Zhang Yi said with a weird smile.
"I know that you have a lot of properties in your hands. There are several light factories, several karaoke parlors, a special effects company, a record company, a technology company in partnership with the boy from the Huo family, and a security company. There are also various shops. You guys really dare to spend money!" Upon hearing this, Shao Daheng said with some surprise.
"Haha!" Zhang Yi just smiled.
"How much will the bank lend you?" Shao Daheng asked immediately as his mind moved.
"Two hundred million, Hong Kong dollars!" Zhang Yi stretched out two fingers and said calmly.
"Hiss!" When Shao Daheng heard this, he immediately took a breath of air. He still understood Zhang Yi. In two years, he actually created so much wealth. Two hundred million, for Shao Daheng, may not be anything, but that But it was his decades of accumulation. But as for Zhang Yi, he started from scratch and achieved so much in a short period of time. He is truly the youngest talented man in Hong Kong and the youngest wealthy man in Hong Kong.
What surprised him was that Zhang Yi actually dared to gamble all his wealth. Is this a desperate move?
"What? Uncle Six also wants to add some. I heard that the Huo family is planning to add 50 million to the lottery." Zhang Yi said with a smile when he saw Shao Daheng's appearance.
"The Huo family actually invested 50 million? How did they get such confidence in you?" When Shao Daheng heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it. This seemed a bit unbelievable. But Zhang Yi didn't look like he was joking.
"Fifty million Hong Kong dollars, not fifty million US dollars. As for where the Huo family's confidence in me comes from, Uncle Six can only ask them. I just heard Huo Zhenyu briefly mention it." Zhang Yi spread his hands and said .
In fact, Zhang Yi knew that Huo Zhenyu had a part of the fifty million, and his friends also had a lot of them. Even the young masters of the Li family who had counted his tens of millions last time also had a lot of them. The fifty million was not considered to be from the Huo family. However, , Huo Zhenyu is the son of the Huo family, and the 50 million was paid in his name, so others will naturally blame it on the Huo family.
"I can't afford that much money, and the Shaw Brothers still have a lot of people to support. However, if your boy really goes into the ring with that person, Uncle Six will naturally express his gratitude." Shao Daheng sighed, and then became a little worried.
He said with emotion, "You guys played a little too hard this time!"
The last time Zhang Yi competed, Shaw Brothers invested five million. They planned to befriend Zhang Yi, but they didn't expect to win five million in the end. Those five million were pure profits, and they didn't even have to pay any taxes.
"Is there anything bigger than risking one's life and having fun?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
As soon as Zhang Yi came out of the TVB, he was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters, who asked all kinds of strange questions about Zhang Yi's avoidance of the war.
"I, Zhang Yi, do not accept his challenge, not because I am afraid of him, but because I think he is not qualified enough. To give an unfortunate example, a king and a beggar, both of whom are martial arts practitioners. The king will accept the beggar.
Challenge him to compete in the ring? Even if the beggar is the leader of the Beggar Gang and the leader of the martial arts alliance. If he really accepts the challenge, no one in the king will praise him for his bravery, they will only call him a fool!" Zhang Yi smiled and said lightly
said.
"Is Mr. Zhang comparing himself to a king and Muay Thai master Chachai to a beggar? As far as I know, Chachai has a high status in Thailand and has many disciples in the political, military and business circles," a reporter said immediately.
.
"Haha, didn't I just say that it was an inappropriate metaphor." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "No matter how famous and prestige he is in the martial arts world, so what? I'm not involved in the martial arts world.
.I, Zhang Yi, am fairly well-known in the entertainment industry, but who in the entertainment industry has heard of his name? Why doesn’t he make a movie to challenge me?”
Making a movie is a challenge to you, but you can express it well. It’s still unclear whether Cha Guai will make a movie. He doesn’t know how to make a movie, but you, Zhang Yi, know how to do martial arts.
"So how can Mr. Zhang Yi accept the challenge of Chachai, the master of Muay Thai?" a reporter quickly asked, without making any comment on Zhang Yi's answer, and could not comment.
