270 Controlling Kunlun
When he reached the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel, Huang Yifei felt like he was dreaming. Feng Xinyue saw Huang Yifei like this and asked strangely: "Brother Yifei, what's wrong with you? He just retired? He should retire at such an age."
Feng Xinyue actually doesn't understand the boxing world, let alone Jin Tong's status and significance in the boxing world. However, her words also reminded Huang Yifei that Jin Tong should indeed retire, otherwise he would only become a target for other boxers to achieve record results.
"It's nothing, let's go." Huang Yifei replied lightly, and then walked into the Four Seasons Hotel. Feng Xinyue did not notice the changes in Huang Yifei's heart. She happily held Huang Yifei's arm. This was the etiquette of a formal occasion, so Huang Yifei would not refuse and break free, and felt the sense of pursuing relying on Huang Yifei. This is what Feng Xinyue wanted to do the most.
Long Jingxuan is the only Chinese Michelin three-star restaurant in Hong Kong, so the level is naturally necessity. When you enter Long Jingxuan, the first thing you see is a large piece of curved glass. Outside the window is the beautiful view of Victoria Harbor. The decoration inside is not that simple. The velvet chairs, elegant orchids on the table and blue and white porcelain wine pots on the wooden cabinets still reveal the Chinese style.
Huang Yifei and Feng Xinyue, as soon as they stepped into Long Jingxuan, a waiter stepped forward and led them to the largest glass curtain wall. This location is also the best place to see the scenery of Victoria Harbor.
The dining table had already sat around. When they saw Huang Yifei coming, they all stood up and greeted him. They naturally knew Huang Yifei, and what was even more unfortunate was that Huang Yifei also knew them, but they knew them in the movies in their previous life.
Today, the main actors of "Ip Man 2" were present, including Zeng Zidan, Xiong Lin, Sammo Hung, and other famous Hong Kong movie stars. However, today Huang Yifei's identities are different. Even these movie stars will first stand up and shake hands with Huang Yifei when they see him. The status of the Olympic champion and world boxing champion is unintentionally displayed at this moment.
After saying hello to each other, Ye Xin said excitedly: "Welcome to Mr. Huang to show his face to the face this time. I wonder if Mr. Huang, have you ever watched "Ip Man"?"
"Ip Man is my master, so I have naturally watched this movie." Huang Yifei nodded and confirmed.
When Ye Xin heard Huang Yifei say he had watched it, he was even more happy: "Mr. Huang, we are now preparing to film "Ip Man 2". The main content of this movie is that Master Ye leaves Foshan and goes to Hong Kong to open a museum to accept disciples, and encounters his powerful opponent "Hongmen". Just like the Hongmen disciples you met before, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace and united to fight against the British colonial government."
"As the direct descendant of the Wing Chun lineage, I want to invite you to make a guest appearance."
"Do you want me to play Ip Man?" Huang Yifei asked jokingly.
"I have also watched "Ip Man". Is it okay to play Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng?" At this time, Feng Xinyue also joined in the fun and said.
The joke between Huang Yifei and Feng Xinyue made the actors on the table embarrassed. As a sequel actor, it was naturally decided. If Huang Yifei asked to star in the role, it would definitely be impossible, but how to refuse would become a problem.
Seeing the awkward expressions on these people's faces, Huang Yifei smiled and said that it was just a joke. In fact, he was willing to come over, not only to promise Mr. Ye Huai, but also to use himself to expand the influence of traditional martial arts. In a sense, it is the same as Ye Xin's attempt to use him to expand the influence of movies. Although the starting point is different, the same end is achieved.
Boxing or fighting is ultimately a niche field. If you really want to let the whole world know like kung fu, and even witness the rise of China's fighting force, you must rely on the power of film and television, which is also Huang Yifei's ultimate goal.
Huang Yifei is easy to talk to, so the next thing is easy to deal with. He said he is a guest role, but in fact he plays a supporting role. Based on the original script, he plays Ye Wen's junior brother, his master Ye Huai, which is also the role that director Ye Xin added himself.
Hearing this role that emerged suddenly made Huang Yifei wonder that Mr. Ye Huai might have asked his nephew, Director Ye Xin, to force his acting to show his face in the movie when he saw that his senior brother was famous? Of course, this is just Huang Yifei's evil speculation. Mr. Ye Huai is usually very serious.
As for Feng Xinyue, there is really no way to arrange the role. She looks like a beautiful woman, and playing a supporting role will inevitably lead to the main event. The important roles are all the original cast, so Feng Xinyue doesn't even have the chance to play a supporting role, which makes the little girl very dissatisfied.
In the next two days, because Huang Yifei was very nervous, Ye Xin first took Huang Yifei's camera. In fact, it was just showing his face for more than ten seconds and talking to Ye Wen for a few words. However, this was the first time that Huang Yifei learned about the movie. Even Huang Yifei had a little thought. Should he copy a script from a later generation to show off?
However, this idea was quickly denied by Huang Yifei himself, because he should not be embarrassed about this field that he is completely unfair. Now he is getting closer to the era of his rebirth. By then, he will be embarrassed if he becomes famous and has nothing to copy.
After promising Ye Huai to get over Ye Zi, Huang Yifei also welcomed an important figure, Jiang Hua (homophony), the founder of Kunlun Fighting Event.
Jiang Hua is a MBA Master of Management at Tsinghua University. In history, Kunlun, founded in 2014, became China's first original world-class fighting brand. In just one year, Kunlun was rated as the world's best standing fighting event by authoritative foreign media in 2015.
In 2016, top star boxing champions such as Boqiu and Klaus joined, which made Kunlun's influence continue to expand, from far behind Wu Feng to becoming side by side with Wu Feng. Moreover, Kunlun had the momentum of coming from behind.
However, in 2009, Zou Shiming, Xiong Chaozhong, etc. had not yet been played out, and even Sanda's convenience and others did not make their mark. Therefore, China's standing fighting is still a blind spot, and Kunlun's life is not easy. As a new star fighting event brand, what you need most in the early stage is to obtain financing and have enough funds to operate.
What Jiang Hua wanted to create was a world's top fighting event, but the cruelty of reality made him feel overwhelmed. As a result, Liu Gang called him, which made him see hope, and then rushed to Hong Kong Island as quickly as possible and met Huang Yifei.
After saying hello to Jiang Hua, Huang Yifei said his thoughts without saying nonsense: "Mr. Jiang, I believe that the brand value of your Kunlun event now will not exceed 10 million US dollars, and I heard that your A round of financing is only 5 million RMB. This is far from enough for a top fighting event. If there is no fighting star who will play such a low-level event, you will fall into a dead cycle."
After hearing Huang Yifei's words, Jiang Hua showed an embarrassing expression on his face. If he wanted to develop the fighting event, the bonus was rich and the addition of star-level players was indispensable. However, both of these points required generous financial support. The amount of A round of financing of 5 million is simply a drop in the bucket, and it can almost be said to be a failed financing.
"Mr. Huang, since you understand so clearly, I think you must have investigated it. Kunlun is indeed at a critical moment of life and death, but I firmly believe that Kunlun will eventually shine!"
Jiang Hua was very confident when he said this. In history, Kunlun Fight was actually very smooth. He received tens of millions of investment in the A round, and several venture capital companies were injected with 200 million yuan, and the valuation reached 300 million US dollars. However, this is another thing in time and space. Kunlun in this time and space is struggling.
"Mr. Jiang, I also believe that Kunlun, a fighting event brand, will eventually shock the world. This is also the purpose of my invitation to come. I am a more direct person, so let's just say it clearly."
"I plan to inject US$50 million to directly control 51% of Kunlun's shares, and must not dilute fixed shares. However, all Kunlun's event operations are still fully in charge. Only when major decisions are made will I use the share decision-making power."
"At the same time, I will announce the start of the Kunlun MAX fight event. The first Kunlun MAX fight event will be a million US dollars league, and I will be the ultimate challenger. I will get million US dollars when I defeat me. I believe that with my current reputation, the promotion of the event will definitely exceed any advertisement. Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this suggestion?"
After Huang Yifei finished speaking, he leaned on the sofa and looked at Jiang Hua easily. 51% of the shares were his bottom line. He had to have decision-making power. Only in this way could he take advantage of his historical advantages to seize the initiative. Similarly, he was very confident about Jiang Hua's agreement. Jiang Hua had no choice now, and he was not at a loss.
Because Huang Yifei can completely build an independent fighting brand in the same way, Kunlun will only be dead. Huang Yifei is not willing to do this, he does not have the energy to manage operations, and he knows Jiang Hua's ability.
After all, personal strength is limited. Let more professional and outstanding people do what they are good at. This is the real way to success.
Sure enough, in just a few seconds of consideration, Jiang Hua made a decision: "Mr. Huang, I promised you all the conditions. I just hope you don't change Kunlun's name, it's my hard work."
"Don't worry, I won't change my name. From now on, it will be called Kunlun World Extreme Fighting Competition!"
