    784 No. 1 in North American weekly box office

    Wang Xiaohu did not expect that after "Ip Man 2" was released in North America, it would attract a real boxing champion.

    From what Winter Durr said, the two major boxing organizations WBA and WBC seemed to be very dissatisfied with the victory of Chinese martial arts over Western boxing, and wanted to set up a ring to let the Chinese see the power of boxing.

    For Winter Durr, 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 himself is powerful. From the perspective of Old Wen, Concord International  Internationally honest and honest people are doing a good job in the film industry and there is no need to pay attention to the provocations of the two major boxing organizations.

    ¡°But Wang Xiaohu is different. He thinks this is good news.

    So without even thinking about it, he immediately said to Winterdure: "Old Wen, fax the invitation over immediately. I'm very interested in this thing."

    "Damn it! Boss, I'm about to have a headache, but you said you were interested!" Winterduer shouted on the phone: "Are you crazy? They are boxing champions, real boxing champions, not Schwarzenegger  Such a display!"

    "I know they are boxing champions. You don't have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Let me tell you your good news."

    Now that the boss had said so, Winterdur had no choice but to give up, collect his emotions for a while, and then said: "The good news is more exciting. "Ip Man 2" has now topped the North American weekly box office list, haha  , just like having wings, in front of "Ip Man 2", "Mother and Daughter" and "Flashdance" 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 US dollars?" Wang Xiaohu tried to ask. After all, Americans have higher consumption levels and the film market is more mature than the Asian market. As long as the movie is not rubbish, it will get several million US dollars in a week.

    "No, you underestimate your own star power. Chinese-language movies are very popular in Hollywood now, especially the kung fu movies produced by Concordia International. Did you know that it has a total of 7.96 million US dollars? God, "007: Octopussy"  "When it closed, it was only 6.78 million U.S. dollars, and we surpassed it within a week."

    When it comes to box office revenue, Winterdur swept away his previous depression and worries and became excited and incoherent on the phone: "Boss, can you understand my mood now? As long as we maintain the current publicity and planning plan, we can earn money from the first round of screenings."  Forty million is not a problem, and with re-releases, it will definitely exceed 100 million in a year."

    "Really, this is really crazy good news, Lao Wen, you are going to receive a huge bonus again!"

    "Ip Man 2" almost reached 8 million US dollars in one week in North America, which definitely exceeded Wang Xiaohu's expectation. He knew that the 40 million box office mentioned by Winterduer was a conservative estimate. You must know that the current comprehensive income in the United States is not only based on movie theaters, but also  There are television broadcasts, video tapes, etc. Moreover, with the excellent music production of "Ip Man 2", it is completely possible to release a CD record.

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

    "Uh!" Winterdur was speechless. After a long while, he said angrily: "Boss, this doesn't seem practical. I don't think Chinese martial arts can beat boxing."

    Hearing that Lao Wen was showing off his American sense of superiority again, Wang Xiaohu joked, "Would you like to make a bet?"

    "What are you betting on?"

    ¡°If the Chinese side wins the Huayang boxing match, all your box office shares from Concord International will be cancelled.¡±

    "What if we win in boxing?" Lao Wen is also a money-obsessed guy. In his heart, boxing will always be invincible.

    "I will double your share."

    "Okay, deal! In the name of God, no regrets are allowed!" Lao Wen said quickly: "I will fax the invitation letter and the bet agreement later."

    "Please, don't be so anxious, it's night over there!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, as long as I have money, I¡¯ll do it day or night.¡± After finishing speaking, Lao Wen hung up the phone, probably to discuss the betting agreement.

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

    "Azhi, let Brother Xiaolong answer the phone."

    After a while, Bruce Lee answered the phone and complained somewhat: "Xiaohu, I was just looking for you. Although the veterans from the mainland are good in terms of courage, some of them are disabled soldiers and they are crooked. When it comes to training,  It¡¯s very difficult.¡±

    "Haha, don't use the same tactics used to train Donnie Yen to deal with them. As long as they defeat the enemy with one move, use their marksmanship flexibly, and reach the level of Zhongnanhai's bodyguards!"

      Wang Xiaohu only had good words to persuade Bruce Lee when he complained.

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

    After comforting him for a long time, Wang Xiaohu said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Come to my office later. I have something good 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 issued a challenge to us. They want to hold a Chinese and foreign boxing match to prove that boxing is better than Chinese martial arts. I wonder if you are interested?"

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

    Bruce Lee was also impatient. Less than fifteen minutes after throwing away the phone, he appeared in Wang Xiaohu's office. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Where is the challenge? Give it to me quickly. I want to see which boxing champions are coming."  challenge!"

    "Don't worry, Lao Wen hasn't faxed the information 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: "You still have to ask, people have already issued a challenge, and it will definitely come next. I have competed with several famous boxers in karate, taekwondo, jujitsu, Muay Thai, and mainland China, but I have never competed with world boxing."  The king has discussed it, how can I give up when there is such a good thing?"

    Wang Xiaohu looked at him with a smile. In his previous life, Bruce Lee competed with many international masters, but all in private. After all, he had become famous at that time and had to worry about his own reputation.

    In this life, he has escaped from his golden shell. Not many people in the world know that he is still alive. Moreover, after experiencing life and death, he has seen through many things. Now he is devoted to perfecting Jeet Kune Do and will never miss the opportunity to fight.

    After Bruce Lee got over his excitement, he mused: "Xiaohu, I feel that this ring competition is very meaningful and will be very helpful in promoting MMA events in the future."

    "I think so too." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to wait until the time was more mature, at least after the mma model was promoted in Asia, before I could compete with boxing. I didn't expect that people couldn't calm down."

    Bruce Lee suddenly stared, looked at Wang Xiaohu and said: "Brother, did you have a premeditated plan in arranging a Chinese boxing match in "Ip Man 2" to let Chinese Kung Fu and boxing compete?"

    "It's a little premeditated." Wang Xiaohu didn't deny this: "But you already knew about my premeditation. It's just that I want to use "Ip Man 2" to lead all the major martial arts in the country to put down their burdens, revitalize national martial arts, and get rid of the current misunderstanding of dance.  and disagreements.¡±

    "Haha, it seems that I 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 made a bet with Lao Wen."

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

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

    While the two were joking, Winterdure's fax was sent to the office by the employee.

    Lao Wen was very dedicated. He not only sent the invitation letter and the betting agreement, but also attached some information about the two major boxing organizations.

    In today¡¯s world, there are two main influential world boxing associations, namely WBA and WBC.

    The World Boxing Association (WBA) is the oldest world boxing organization and basically controls boxing competitions in the entire United States.  At the same time, many heavyweight boxing champions were born. For example, Ali, Frazier, and Foreman were known as the "Big Three of heavyweight boxing in the 1970s." These three were well-deserved boxing champions, and their gold belts were all engraved on them.  There is the word wba.

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

    What is rare this time is that the two major boxing organizations have unanimously targeted Concordia International.

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

    The WBC side was similar, and his tone was more awesome than the WBA. He said bluntly: "Tiger King, let's have a fight. I will choose the best boxing champion in the organization to compete with Chinese Kung Fu. Do you dare?  dare?"

    "Tsk, tsk, it smells like gunpowder!" Wang Xiaohu flicked the invitation and said, "I wonder who they will send over? Foreman or TaiSen?  "

    "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.

    "Well, a newcomer." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "Tomorrow I will ask Lao Wen to hold a press conference in Los Angeles to accept these two challenges. Now there is a troublesome matter. Who should we send here? We can't just rely on  You and me?"

    "Hey, isn't the fighting competition about to be held soon? Select a few outstanding young talents to participate directly. Do you still expect the mainland to send people?" Bruce Lee asked with a frown.

    "I don't have any hope for the mainland. It seems that this matter still depends on us." Wang Xiaohu sighed.
