Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Liu Xiaoli's suggestion was to let Liu Yifei go to Japan to study and avoid the limelight for a while.

Link suggested that Liu Yifei should actively participate in public welfare undertakings, visit poor areas, make donations, and be a kind-hearted 'fairy sister'.

After thinking about it, Liu Yifei chose to follow his advice.

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she pinched Liu Yifei and said that her wings were stiff and her arms were turned outward.

"There is no way to turn around, Link is not an outsider."

In the Hua Xianzi Film and Television office, Liu Yifei bumped Link with her shoulder and said with a smile.

"Are you ashamed?"

Liu Xiaoli glared at her and told Link that it might be dangerous to visit poor areas as a volunteer.

Link said it doesn't matter. He can hire a few female bodyguards to protect Feifei's safety. He can also arrange where he goes in advance, so the problem won't be too big.

"Look, Mom, Link thought about it before he made the suggestion. It's not just random talk."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly.

"You are stupid, don't worry about being sold by him and still helping him count the money."

Liu Xiaoli pointed at Liu Yifei's forehead, got up and went to the desk to answer the phone.

"Link, my mother always says I'm stupid. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Liu Yifei blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, pointed the tip of her nose, and her pink lips were like jelly. She really looked like a silly girl.

It’s just that Link has been dating her for decades and knows that she looks innocent on the outside, but is a very independent girl on the inside, and she is smarter than outsiders think.

"You're not stupid, you're just lazy and don't like to use your brain."

"Haha, you know me well. I really don't like to use my brain. I feel that using my brain is more tiring than using my hands."

Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"If you want to develop in the entertainment industry, you can't use your brain. It's easy to be plotted."

"I know there are many bad people in the industry. I heard a lot of messy things while filming on the set, but I'm not afraid. With you and mom helping me, no one can hurt me, right?"

Liu Yifei held his hand with a soft palm and asked.

"Yes, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Link pinched the tip of her cute nose.

Compared with the fairy sister who is in her twenties, the 18-year-old Liu Yifei is more innocent and cute, and has some quirks.

Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose, hugged his arm and smiled: "Link, I have a question for you, can you tell the truth?"

"good!"

"Emmm, forget it, I won't ask anymore, but you promise me that you will always be good to me in the future, okay?"

Liu Yifei stared at him closely and said.

"Of course, I will always be nice to you, I promise!"

Link said seriously.

Liu Yifei smiled slightly, kissed him quickly on the face, and ran to the next room with red cheeks.

Liu Xiaoli put down the phone and saw Liu Yifei running away with a blushing face, shaking her head helplessly. She knew that Liu Yifei liked Link, and Link also liked Liu Yifei, but Link had no plans to break up with his girlfriend at the moment.

She didn't know how to deal with this matter, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Liu Xiaoli came over and told Link that the call was from Wang Jinhua.

Not long ago, Huayi Film and Television Company encountered changes. Wang Jinhua, the head of the artist management department, had a disagreement with the company's boss over the management of artists, and subsequently led dozens of his artists including Chen Daoming, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Xia Yu, etc. to leave. It was rumored that he was preparing to Establish a new brokerage company.

After Liu Xiaoli heard the news, she called Wang and invited her to join Huaxianzi Film and Television. She could be given the position of head of the stock and brokerage department.

Wang Jinhua just called and declined, thanking Liu Xiaoli for her kindness.

"As expected, she must have found her next home first and then took them away."

Link poured two cups of black tea and handed one to Liu Xiaoli.

"Chengtian Entertainment?"

Liu Xiaoli also heard rumors that Wang Jinhua had an agreement with Cheng Tian.

"There should be news in the next few days."

The boss of Chengtian Entertainment is Wu Kebo.

Boss Wu developed in Japan in the 1990s. In 1998, he established ROJAM company with Japanese musician Tetsuya Komuro and made a lot of money.

In March this year, Boss Wu invested tens of millions of yuan to establish Chengtian Entertainment Co., Ltd. in Dahai City. The first signed artist was Azi from "Dragon Movie". Boss Wu relied on his connections and skills in the industry to create He made several good investments and became famous in the industry.

Although Hua Xianzi Film and Television currently has no shortage of funds, it is a little behind in terms of connections and experience. This is probably why Sister Hua is unwilling to bring people here.

However, Link didn't care. The purpose of his investment in establishing Hua Xianzi Film and Television was not to make money, but to provide a good platform for Liu Yifei to develop in the entertainment industry, so that she would not be bullied and avoid detours.

In addition, when he encounters potential stars and film and television projects, he can also invest through Hua Xianzi Film and Television.

"It's okay if Wang Jinhua doesn't come. The actors she has are all big names. Our company doesn't have the resources to give them temporarily. If we sign these big names, it's better to sign a few new actors to train them.

Some of Feifei's classmates are pretty good. Huang Bo acted in "Crazy Stone", which we invested in, and Jiang Yiyan, who I have met, has a good personality and knows how to get things done. You can also consider signing. You can ask Feifei for her advice in this regard. .

I think she would be interested in having her guest star as our company's talent scout. "

Link said.

Liu Xiaoli nodded.

Now, apart from Feifei, the company's artists only have two directors, Wang Xiaoshuai and Ning Hao. It would be good to sign a few new talents for training. The company's resources are fully allocated.

"Huayi and Media Asia Films sent us a few scripts and asked us to invest. Should we consider it?"

Liu Xiaoli asked.

"The company currently does not have much funds in its account and cannot participate in large-scale productions. It will focus on investing in small-cost movies and Feifei's TV series first. At the same time, you can also practice your skills in this process and know how to shoot a movie, what the process is, how to divide accounts, and become familiar with it. After that, if you invest in a big production after two years, even if you lose money, you will definitely lose money.”

Link said.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Liu Xiaoli nodded and suddenly looked at him strangely. She had known Link for nearly a year. Every time she talked to him, she seemed to be talking to her peers, or even to an elder or superior.

It felt a bit awkward, and she thought about correcting the situation.

It's just that every time Link makes suggestions, the way he handles problems, and the way he looks at things, he's very sophisticated. He's even more expert at managing companies and film production than several highly paid executives.

Sometimes she wants to open this guy's head to see what's inside and why he knows so much. It's not an exaggeration to say he's a superman.

At the same time, because Link acted too smart, mature, stable, and powerful, she was a little worried.

Feifei liked him originally, but after getting in touch with him, she found that he was better and more charming than expected.

If this continues, Feifei will probably become more and more inseparable from him, and she may even become somewhat inseparable from him.

Liu Xiaoli looked at him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then continued to talk to him about the company, asking him to make decisions and make suggestions.

With Link here, she has more confidence in managing the company.

Link listened to Liu Xiaoli's questions and gave some suggestions within the scope of his familiarity.

Regarding the current domestic film and television investment environment, there is no large capital injection, and the cost of film production is relatively low. Most of the projects are in the millions, 20, 30 million, and the total annual box office is only over one billion yuan. This situation is more suitable for newcomers to practice.

And the film and television companies that have been trained in the past few years will also make a lot of money when the domestic film industry explodes at the box office in five or six years.

For this reason, he is willing to give some advice to Liu Xiaoli, his partner, to help her grow up early and become a mature film and television company owner.

While he was chatting with Liu Xiaoli, Liu Yifei found a big red apple somewhere and came over while chewing it. She took off her shoes, revealing her little feet in furry socks, and sat cross-legged on the sofa to listen to their conversation.

After a while, she fell asleep on Link's shoulder again, and within five minutes she curled up in his arms and fell asleep, like a lazy cat princess.

After having a casual meal at Liu Yifei's house in the afternoon, Link drove back to Qiuzhiyuan Apartment and met Du Juan, who was studying French with Zhang Zilin. Du Juan was planning to develop in the French fashion industry. She heard that Zhang Zilin was studying French, so she often came over as a guest.

When they saw him coming back, they took him as their teacher and learned spoken French from him for more than an hour.

Link got up early to train the next day, continued to record songs in the studio in the afternoon, and flew to Macau on November 3 to participate in the 4th East Asian Games held here.

The East Asian Games is a regional comprehensive sports meeting, involving nine countries and regions, including China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Macau, North Korea, Hong Kong Island, Mongolia, and Guam, with a total of 1,919 athletes participating.

Link signed up for three track and field competitions and won three gold medals for the Chinese team. In the end, the Chinese team ranked first in the medal list with 127 gold medals, 63 silver medals, and 33 bronze medals.

While attending the games, agent Sean Gibbons called and the next game was scheduled.

American boxer Leonard Wright defeated Sam Soliman, Angel Hernandez, Shane Morris and others to qualify to challenge him.

The game will be held on December 17 at the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. Link's basic prize is US$5 million, 20% PPV revenue share, 15% box office share, 5% advertising sponsorship and peripheral share.

Sean Gibbons said to send him the information about his opponent Leonard Wright and asked him to read it in advance and prepare.

Link said yes.

After returning to Kyoto, Link continued to train, took time to record songs in the recording studio, and occasionally had trysts with the princess, Tang Yan, and Lin Zhilin.

At the end of November, he received another call from the Spring Festival Gala director team, asking if he had time to attend the Spring Festival Gala.

Link declined. His third album was in English and was not suitable for singing on the Spring Festival Gala stage. There were no suitable songs at the moment.

Director Lang expressed regret and wished him a happy Spring Festival in advance.

Although Link did not attend the Spring Festival Gala, he added Liu Yifei's name to the Spring Festival Gala roster through Wheatfield Music and asked her to perform songs from the new album on stage.

Liu Yifei was very nervous after receiving the invitation. She was worried about what to do if she made a mistake on stage and whether she would make a fool of herself in front of the national audience.

Link said it doesn't matter. There is a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala. If there is a mistake, the director will switch the screen to the rehearsal video to prevent accidents from happening in the show.

Liu Yifei felt relieved and said that she would do nothing during this period and practice singing every day.

After more than half a month of recording, Link's third album "The Fighter" was completed. Compared with the original third album, there are missing three songs that do not conform to the current popular trends, such as "Never say never" and "American dream". "Fight Song" has been added, and the quality of the album's songs is higher.

The first promotional single of the new album, "Chasing the sun", was released on major radio stations in Europe and the United States in early December. It was played 650,000 times in the first week and has not yet been listed on the Billboard Hot 100.

But this is also expected.

Although the three English singles in the second album last year sold well and were liked by many fans, he did not often participate in the European and American music scene and there was no entertainment gossip. After the promotion period of the three songs, the heat faded and his fame in the European and American music scene gradually disappeared.

Now to release new songs, it is necessary to re-promote and accumulate popularity.

In early December, Link flew to Los Angeles. After a week of training, he came to New York Madison Square Garden on December 17 to participate in a new round of boxing championship challenge. (End of this chapter)
