Chapter 115 A Shocking Gamble Zhang Yi¡¯s words to the media were instantly published on the front pages of all major media. No matter how unlucky Zhang Yi's comparison was, to Hong Kong people, if Zhang Yi accepted the challenge, then he made sense. Especially Zhang Yi's phrase "Why doesn't he make a movie and challenge me?" instantly became a mockery of the Muay Thai master. He has just turned eighteen, has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and is thriving in the entertainment industry. The script he wrote and the movie he made caused a sensation. And what about you, the Muay Thai master? You are a famous figure in the martial arts world, but how much is your net worth? Why do you let people fight for life and death with you in the ring? With one¡¯s own strengths being compared to one¡¯s shortcomings, one still has the nerve to show off in the newspaper! If you want to compete with others in the ring, fine, come up with something equivalent. Many media also thought of Zhang Yi's last martial arts contest, where the winnings were HK$50 million. Nowadays, listening to Zhang Yi¡¯s words seems like gambling on one¡¯s fortune! How much is Zhang Yi¡¯s net worth? Some good media conducted detailed investigations and reported the incident. As soon as the report came out, the Hong Kong public was shocked and stunned. People know that Zhang Yi has made a lot of money whether he is making movies, writing scripts, novels, recording, or even doing business, but no one thought that in just two years, Zhang Yi, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, would He actually made such a fortune. So, what will happen to him in a few years? No one can imagine it! And such a person with an unlimited future for money actually dares to compete in the ring with a Muay Thai master. This matter has become a hot topic, and has spread to the entire Southeast Asia. Zhang Yi's popularity exploded instantly, and the box office of "Ip Man" instantly skyrocketed across Southeast Asia, especially Hong Kong and Taiwan. Today, no big-name star can compare with him, just like Bruce Lee back then. This time it is no longer a fight between Zhang Yi and a Hong Kong Chinese boxer, but a fight with a Muay Thai master. In this way, everyone in Southeast Asia became well-known in an instant, and it was even more sensational than Zhang Yi's last martial arts competition. Even some newspapers in Europe and the United States have reported on it. Some media in Europe and the United States even directly claimed that Zhang Yi will become the second Bruce Lee, although he himself will not star in kung fu movies. And some information about the Muay Thai master was published in the newspaper. Chachai, male, thirty-six years old, the golden age of a boxer. He has learned Muay Thai since he was a child. Now he is a Muay Thai master-level master. He also practices yoga and is a combat instructor for a certain unit of the Thai military. There are many famous people in Thailand's military, political and business circles who are his disciples. His performance is even more bloody and terrifying. Thirty-six battles, thirty-six opponents, thirty-two died, and the remaining four were all disabled. And Zhang Yi¡¯s identity information was also compared. Zhang Yi, male, eighteen years old (just turned out), has been practicing martial arts for two years. Film director, screenwriter, producer, TV program planner, best-selling novel writer, singer-songwriter, owner of many companies. Their performance is also incomparable. In a martial arts competition, although the opponent is killed, one is also attached. But compared with Chachai, it's like a baby waiting to be fed. Zhang Yi is above the media and declares that he will accept the challenge as long as the other party comes up with something equal. In fact, it is no different from accepting a challenge. Especially people in the martial arts community know that this challenge is aimed at the Guoshu Building, and behind it is not only the Thai martial arts community, but also the Korean and Japanese martial arts communities. The Thai martial arts community may not have much to offer, but South Korea and Japan, especially the Japanese martial arts community, are absolutely rich. Paper cannot contain fire. Zhang Yi used all his properties as collateral to borrow 200 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank, and Huo Zhenyu, the son of the Huo family, contacted various wealthy young men in Hong Kong to jointly invest 50 million Hong Kong dollars to support Zhang Yi. And closely followed by Shaw Brothers, Zhang Yi won 5 million in the last martial arts competition. This time he invested 10 million to support Zhang Yi. ¡°Ten million seems like a lot, but in the entertainment industry it¡¯s only the price of a script by Zhang Yi. If the Shaw family hadn't been a big business and used too much money, it would have affected the company's operations, and maybe that wasn't the only thing. Zhang Yi¡¯s ability to raise funds in the film and television industry is unimaginable. Just after Shaw Brothers invested 10 million to support Zhang Yi, Golden Harvest immediately invested 15 million. I don't know if it was intended to compete with Shaw Brothers, but it actually came from 15 million. Pan Disheng subsequently contributed 5 million in his own name to support Zhang Yi. And directors and stars who have a good relationship with Zhang Yi, such as Hong Jinbao and Wang Jing, may have tasted the benefits of winning a lot of money in Zhang Yi¡¯s last competition, so they actually increased their investment this time. Zhang Yi didn't know the specific capital injection, but Hong Jinbao brought in 20 million. "You are not afraid that I will lose. The opponent is not Li Yuanhai, he is a Thai boxing master who is very good at fighting." Zhang Yi looked at Hong Jinbao and shook his head and smiled. "Haha, I've heard about that guy's kung fu, and I know your skills as well. Although I don't know who is good, but I know you, you won't do anything you're not sure about." Hong Jinbao laughed. He smiled and said. "The martial arts competition in the ring changes rapidly. Who can guarantee who will win and who loses in the ring?" Zhang Yi said with a smile, looked at Hong Jinbao and said, "Brother Sanmao, how much did you take out this time?" "Six One million, this is all the money I can use. Ayi, if you lose, I will be a pauper." Hong Jinbao said. However, there was no trace of worry in his words. "Don't worry, just wait and count the money!" Zhang Yi patted Hong Jinbao on the shoulder and said. Yongsheng, in the office, Xiang Huaqiang said to Xiang Huasheng: "What do you think is the chance of winning in this competition between Zhang Yi and Chachai? Do we want to contribute money?" "Yes! And it can't be less." Xiang Huasheng said affirmatively, "Whether Zhang Yi wins or loses, as long as he doesn't die, Yongsheng will not lose." "Oh? How much do you think is appropriate?" Xiang Huaqiang looked at Xiang Huasheng with some doubts, and fell into deep thought. "At least 10 million!" Xiang Huasheng said immediately, "Zhang Yi is a person who values ??friendship and does not owe favors. Xin Ngee'an helped him twice, and he co-produced two movies with us. Let's not talk about "The Gambler" for now. "Well, that "God of Gamblers" not only made the company a lot of money, but also established itself in the film industry. It's just a little effort to help him." If he loses, as long as Zhang Yi doesn't die in the ring, he will definitely be rewarded," Xiang Huasheng continued, "Besides, Zhang Yi didn't necessarily lose last time. , but he managed to catch up with the two killers who were driving away, and he dodged several shots. The killer's shooting skills were not comparable to those of ordinary Fei Zi. His skill must have been ridiculously high." "Zhang. Yi really doesn't do anything that's uncertain. He dares to go into the ring and risk all his wealth. If he doesn't have some confidence, it's probably impossible." Xiang Huaqiang nodded and then said, "I heard that Jiahe funded a project. "Fifteen million?" "Shao invested 10 million, and Jiahe offered 15 million." Xiang Huasheng said immediately, "We don't want to get out of the limelight." Xiang Huasheng obviously heard what Xiang Huaqiang meant and wanted to invest 15 million, but this would obviously make Shaw Brothers unhappy, so it was not necessary. ¡°Then ten million.¡± Xiang Huaqiang finally said. When Zhang Yi received the 10 million from Yongsheng, there was no big surprise. However, he did not expect that the largest investment from major film companies would be New Art City. "Boss Lei, what are you doing?" Zhang Yi looked at Lei Juekun across from him with some confusion and the 20 million in funds he brought this time. "Haha. I believe Mr. Zhang will definitely win this time, and I just want to make a fortune. Mr. Zhang, please don't give me a chance." Lei Juekun smiled and said. "Boss Lei believes in me, Zhang Yi, so I will naturally not refuse." Zhang Yi nodded and smiled. "I heard that the last time Mr. Zhang competed, the boy from the Huo family used the winning money to partner with Mr. Zhang to open a technology company. I wonder if this time I will be lucky enough to use the winning money to partner with Mr. Zhang to make a movie Movie?" Lei Juekun said immediately. I see. When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately understood that Lei Juekun was really spending a lot of money. He actually spent 20 million to ease the conflict with himself. Whether there is any conflict between Zhang Yi and Xinyi City, the whole of Hong Kong knows about it. Almost all of Zhang Yi's movies competed with New Art City's movies, and they were so hard that New Art City was unable to fight back. This time, it is a foregone conclusion that New Art City's "Family Portrait" will fail again. Although Lei Juekun invests in movies, he is not a filmmaker, only a businessman. In business, harmony brings wealth. He was not willing to compete with Zhang Yi and have a bloody fight, even if it meant losing both sides. "Boss Lei wants to pay 20 million to co-produce a movie with me?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised, because for the blockbusters he and Shaw Brothers shot, Shaw Brothers only contributed 15 million. Of course, this is the result of tripartite discussions. If it were wholly owned, Shaw Brothers would definitely be involved. "Before, it was 20 million. After Mr. Zhang won the martial arts competition, it will be 40 million." Lei Juekun smiled after hearing this. "Okay!" Zhang Yi thought for a while and then said. Lei Juekun laughed when he heard this.
