Chapter 442 The Game Begins

“OK！The game is about to begin. Next, let's switch the camera to the Hung Hom Stadium to see how many familiar faces are here today.”

TVB TV host Chen Nianzu stood in the broadcast room and said to the camera microphone.

Before the camera turned back to the stadium, TV reporters and cameramen filmed scenes of tens of thousands of spectators entering the stadium one after another outside the stadium.

Among these people, there are many big and small celebrities, celebrities, in the parking lot of the stadium, there are luxury cars everywhere, and there are even many car logos that have only been heard of and never seen before.

In addition, there are also many foreigners in the hotels and restaurants around Hong Kong Island Airport, wharf, railway Station, and Hung Hom Sports Centre today.

There are European and American tourists, Southeast Asians, Japanese and Koreans, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from the mainland, etc.

In order to take care of foreign tourists, increase local consumption, and combat scalpers, the Cultural Tourism Bureau booked 3,000 tickets in advance and sold them to foreign audiences who held tickets.

This approach makes it even more difficult to find a ticket for this game. The black market price of general tickets has exceeded 10,000 Hong Kong dollars each in the morning.

The TVB hosts also talked about these situations one after another when broadcasting the news, the purpose is to let the audience in front of the TV know the scale and importance of the game.

At the same time, it can also arouse the curiosity of the audience. I want to see how many celebrities are in the audience?How about a boxing match?

As long as the curiosity of the audience can be aroused in the publicity, the income from PPV and online broadcasting can be increased. This is also the role of publicity and promotion in boxing matches.

After the camera turned back to the gym, the TVB cameraman first focused the live camera on the boxers on both sides of the match.

The host Chen Nianzu also began to introduce Link and Alexander Shumenov.

“Okay, the camera has been switched to the gym, and we see that the two boxers are already in place and are weighing.

The boxer wearing white competition shorts and white gloves is the current WBA light heavyweight champion Ali Shumenov, a native of Kazakhstan in Central Asia and an Asian champion.

He is 28 years old this year, with a height of 188 cm and an arm span of 188 cm. He has a current professional record of 12 fights and 11 wins. He is a boxer who has won the light heavyweight world title with the fewest fights. He is good at left-handed punches and uppercuts.

In a boxing match in Berlin, Germany in 10 years, he defeated the former WBA light heavyweight champion Gabriel Campi and ascended to the throne of the WBA light heavyweight.

The boxer standing opposite him.”

“Link!Link!”

Without waiting for the host to introduce, when the live camera projected Link's image on the big screen of the stadium, there were bursts of cheers.

There are Chinese, Cantonese, English, Korean, Japanese, etc., shouting Link's name in various languages.

Link also raised his head and waved his fist at the camera, and the cheers on the scene became even more noisy.

“Wow, listen, the audience is shouting Link's name. Link's popularity is really high. Yes, Link is not only the most popular boxer in the world, but also a top singer in the music industry.

"See you again" and "legends never die", which have been popular all over Hong Kong, are the songs he wrote and sang, as well as the popular songs "all of me", "Give me reason", "never say never", "unstoppable", "Everything You Need", "Believe"...”

The host Chen Nianzu read the names of more than 20 songs in one breath.

Originally, he only missed a few masterpieces, but found that Link had too many masterpieces.

In the first three albums, more than ten songs topped the Hong Kong Island pop music Chart.

“There are also "Girls Like You", "Here With You", "sugar" and so on. There are so many, all of them are Link's songs.

In addition, Link is also a Hollywood movie star, starring in "The Fighter", "The Expendables", "The Scandal Project", and the recent "Midnight in Paris".

In addition, the Hollywood blockbuster "Captain America", which has now entered the promotion period, cost 140 million U.S. dollars to make and was produced by Marvel Pictures and Paramount Pictures. The person who played Captain America in this movie was Mr. Link Baker.”

“Is Link so fierce?As a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a movie star, isn't he tired of so many part-time jobs?”

In a high-end apartment in Causeway Bay, actor Chen Xiaochun was lying on the sofa watching live TV, holding a toothpick in his mouth, rubbing his feet with his hands, and the sun was just right outside the window.

"Huh!Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?”

His wife Ying Cai'er looked back at him blankly，

“As mentioned in the news, after becoming a world boxing champion, a top singer, and a billionaire, Link still insists on training every day, at least four hours, extra time to film, create, record albums, and manage a number of companies with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars. Companies.

He is so hardworking that the media in the United States call him a model worker.

They are all men. You said you don't learn from him either. You just rub your feet on the sofa every day if you have nothing to do.

Vomit, put down your stinky feet, it's disgusting.”

Seeing Ying Cai'er raise her slap, Chen Xiaochun quickly put down her feet, changed her posture, and said indifferently: "Yes, I learn from him, what about being a playboy?”

“Don't you dare!Letting you learn from Link is to learn from his good side, not to learn from him. If you dare to hook up with little girls in the crew, be careful that I beat you. I also learned boxing from Link.”

Ying Cai'er said with a clenched fist.

“Have you studied boxing with Link?When and where is it?”

Chen Xiaochun blinked her small eyes and asked nervously.

“Of course it's the Internet, what are you thinking about all day long.”

Ying Cai'er picked up an orange and threw it on him.

Chen Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa peeling oranges to eat.

On TV, after introducing the two sides of the game, the host switched the camera to the audience.

“Wow, they are all big stars, more than the stars of the Hong Kong Island Golden Image Awards. Let's see who they are, Chen Long, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Caowei and Liu Jialin, Donnie Yen, Zhang Xueyou, Princess, Xie Tingfeng, Gu Lotte, Huang Rihua, Xu Guanjie, Tan Yongling, wow, even Brother Zhou Runfa, who hasn't been out for a long time, is also on the scene. It's really too much.”

The live camera scanned the VIP seats and found that they were all big-name celebrities.

Some dressed up to attend, some dressed casually, and wore hats to hide their identities.

Seeing these people, the audience who didn't know thought this show was a live broadcast of the Golden Image Awards ceremony.

In addition to these celebrities, in the best visual position around the boxing ring, there are also many wealthy Hong Kong Island tycoons and their families.

Almost all members of the Li family, the Huo family, the Lin family, the Guo family and other families have come, mainly the second and third generations.

“Wow, Huo Sanshao and the others can only sit in the VIP area when they come. Who are sitting in the luxury box?”

Chen Xiaochun exclaimed when he saw these people's celebrity monopoly.

“Huh, who has anything to do with you, let you start grabbing tickets last week, where are the tickets?"”

Ying Cai'er glanced at him angrily, and when she heard someone ringing the doorbell outside, she dropped the remote control and got up and went out to open the door.

Chen Xiaochun shrugged. His wife Yingcai'er is a big fan of Link. She not only likes Link's songs and movies, but now she even watches his boxing matches. It's really getting more and more dangerous.

Last week he got two VIP tickets from inside TVB.

Later, my friend Huang Guanzhong said that he wanted to take his girlfriend Zhu Yan to the game, but he didn't buy a vip seat ticket and asked him if he had any channels.

Chen Xiaochun gave Huang Guanzhong two tickets without thinking about it.

Afterwards, I went home and told Ying Cai'er that I didn't buy it. Ying Cai'er asked her agent to find a scalper to buy it. Unfortunately, she went too late and didn't buy a VIP ticket.

The general ticket viewing effect is general, it is not as good as watching high-definition live broadcasts at home.

But because of this incident, Ying Cai'er complained to him for several days, and today he complained the most.

But Chen Xiaochun didn't care either. His wife was so hot and obsessed with Link. If it's not good to be seen by Link, it's better to be on guard.

“Chen Xiaochun, don't lie down, look who's here.”

Hearing Ying Cai'er shouting outside the door, Chen Xiaochun glanced up and saw his friends Zheng Yijian and Xie Tianhua visiting with their girlfriends, with beer and snacks in their hands.

Chen Xiaochun smiled, quickly got up and hooked the shoulders of the two friends, and sat down to watch the boxing match together.

The scene of the game.

The host introduced the celebrity guests in a circle of VIP seats.

According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 500 celebrities who took the initiative to appear on the scene today, including from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and other places, with a net worth of more than 10 million.

I'm afraid there are more celebrities who have not shown up.

According to the analysis of the guests invited by TVB, the reason why this boxing match is sought after by so many celebrities.

The first reason is that boxing matches are a niche sport in China. In the past, the four major boxing organizations have not held world-class boxing matches on Hong Kong Island.

This is the first time, everyone feels fresh, so they all come to join in.

The second reason is Link, and Link is also a topic that cannot be bypassed in this game.

He is too famous, with all kinds of titles and all kinds of auras.

In the past, many people might have watched his games on TV and online, but they didn't have the opportunity to watch them in person.

Now that Link has finally come to Hong Kong to hold the competition, the opportunity is rare, and everyone will naturally join in.

There is also a third, fourth and fifth reason.

For example, the WBA champion is an Asian with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, and the organizers have been more successful in publicity, and the game has received strong official support, and so on. These reasons have contributed to the unprecedented pomp of this game.

The game is about to begin.

Link and his opponents appeared in the boxing ring one after another.

“Wow, Link is in great shape, very sexy!”

“Link can sing, act, and especially play. It's amazing.”

“I heard that Link is worth more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. Why should he participate in such a dangerous competition with such money?”

“The news said that Link's appearance fee for this game is nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is too exaggerated. A game will make us a lifetime of money.”

When Link took the stage, there was a lot of discussion in the audience and in front of the TV.

The men looked envious when they saw Link, envious not only of his figure, but also of his ability to make money.

The female audience is relatively simple, they just simply appreciate Link's beauty and explosive figure.

For this reason, Chen Xiaochun was slapped because when Link came on stage, he suddenly changed the channel, was slapped on the thigh by his wife, and was deprived of the right to take charge of the remote control.

When Link took the stage, there was also an episode on the scene. When the TVB camera scanned the audience area in the back row, it found a banner.

It said‘ 'Defeat the scumbag Link, get back the fairy sister, you will win'.

This banner was also supported by many Tianxian fans on the scene, and they began to shout‘ "You will win."

Link also saw this banner on stage, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and looked at his opponent in the game, Andrei Shumenov, with black hair and black eyes, a triangular face, and a very common Central Asian face.

The opponent's most important victory was defeating ‘hard Ice’ Montel Griffin in 2008.

Griffin is a former WBC light heavyweight champion. He defeated boxing legend Roy Jones JR. in March 1997, ending Roy Jones JR.'s 35-match winning streak and giving Roy Jones JR. the first defeat in his career.

In this regard, it is not entirely luck that Andrey Shumenov can become the WBA champion in 11 matches. He has the strength to become the light heavyweight world champion.

Dangdangdang!

The game is about to begin, and the boxing referee begins to announce the rules of the game. No elbows, no takedowns, no hitting on the back of the head, no hitting on the crotch, and must be separated after hearing the referee shout ‘break’ and so on.

Time is limited, and the referee only announced a few main boxing rules, and did not list them one by one.

After making sure that both sides understood, the referee took a step back, raised his arms high and cut down.

“Boxing！”

The game began, Link and Beirut touched their gloves, then each took a step back, staring at each other's actions.

At this time, one party generally chooses to take the initiative to take the initiative to bring up the rhythm of the game.

Link waited for a second, seeing that the opponent did not mean to take the initiative to punch, and seemed to be ready to take the defensive in this game.

He didn't hesitate, took the initiative to approach the opponent, and threw his fist at the opponent.

Boom!

I don't know if the opponent was unprepared, or underestimated his punch weight.

This punch directly pierced the opponent's defense of both arms and hit him on the chin.

He was beaten and staggered, saliva was thrown out of the corner of his mouth, his steps quickly fell back two steps, and his back hit the right side of the rope to stabilize his body.

“Wow!”

The audience at the scene let out an exclamation. No one expected that the game would only start for five seconds, and Link would be able to make a fist and hit the opponent's face. It was so fierce.

From here, Link didn't seem to be messing around last night.

“Link, come on!Link Champion!”

“Come on, come on!Knock down Link and get back the fairy sister.”

The audience was loud and noisy.
