For the next two days, Xiao Yunhai was swamped with work.
More than 20 entertainment companies approached him to sign special effects contracts, bringing Xiao Yunhai 1.4 billion Hua Xia dollars in patent fees. Of course, he had to give 700 million to Columbia.
Just as Xiao Yunhai was busy making money, the trailer for "Valiant Heroes" became popular in America.
At the University of Washington, Lex returned to her dormitory. She turned on her computer and was ready to download the movie that she had always wanted to watch.
Just as she opened the video website, Lex saw a very eye-catching promotional slogan.
"The most intense and hot-blooded martial arts film in history, Elite Heroes, will be shown on August 21st at 19: 00. Please watch."
"Elite Heroes? Hua Xia film, what's going on? The most intense and hot-blooded, how dare they say that? Hehe, I want to see what kind of film dares to advertise in such a way. "
Lex clicked on it, and soon, the trailer that Xiao Yunhai had painstakingly created appeared in front of her.
Once it started, it was the scene of Xiao Yunhai using grappling, hand-to-hand combat, and other Huaxia Kung Fu to defeat more than ten Japanese people in the Japanese school. Every move and style was fierce and unparalleled, yet smooth and flowing. It immediately attracted Lex's attention.
"Damn, that's amazing. His punches were clean and neat, without any sloppiness. Not only were they full of strength, but they also had an indescribable sense of beauty. It was completely different from the Hua Xia Kung Fu films that she had seen before. Is this a real battle? "
In this segment, Xiao Yunhai had only edited a few of the most impactful scenes.
After the fight, the screen showed, "Yunhai Xiao, director, lead actor, and top Hua Xia Kung Fu master."
Next was the duel between Zhang Xiaojing and the martial arts master, and it was also very exciting.
"Xiao Jing Zhang, Hua Xia Kung Fu star, proficient in long punches, hand-to-hand combat, and as fast as the wind."
Seeing this, Lex was so excited that she did not even dare to blink. She thought to herself, Is the mysterious Hua Xia Kung Fu going to reveal the tip of the iceberg?
The third segment was the evenly matched fight between Xiao Yunhai and Jun Watanabe. It was fast, ruthless, and every move was fatal. The transition between attack and defense was as fast as lightning, and it was dazzling.
"Jun Watanabe, Japan's top Kung Fu master. He once defeated a boxing champion within ten moves, and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts in the world."
Rex gasped when he saw Watanabe and said with surprise and joy, "Even Master Watanabe is here. That's great."
As a disciple of the Kung Fu Karate Kung Fu master, Xiao Yunhai, and Zhang Xiaojing.
But he knew the Kung Kung Fu master, Kung Fu master.
At that time, Lex was at the side and saw everything clearly. She was completely in awe of Watanabe's martial arts.
It was precisely because she had seen that duel that Lex was still practicing karate even now.
The fourth segment was a duel between Xiao Yunhai and Zhou Lihu. Zhou Lihu's fists were like the wind, and he was as ferocious as a tiger. Even Lex was a little afraid of his ferocious face.
"Lihu Zhou, a Shaolin disciple from Hua Xia. He is proficient in Iron Shirt and Shaolin Kung Fu. His combat ability is unparalleled."
"Four top-notch martial arts masters will compete on the stage. The movie contains more than 20 types of martial arts from all over the world. Every punch is to the flesh, and there is nothing fancy about it. If you want to see the real Kung Fu feast, please go to the cinema on August 21st and watch 'Martial Arts Heroes'."
The biggest selling point of 'Elite Martial Heroes' was the actual combat. In the past, most foreigners would only see martial arts routines, which were good to watch but useless. However, this movie completely abandoned those flashy things and truly showed the practicality of Hua Xia Kung Fu. This was undoubtedly the most attractive point for American movie fans.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai's trailer did not have any plot, and only focused on showing the "Kung Fu". He hoped that it would do its best to attract the audience to the cinema.
Lex watched it over and over again a few times. She was very excited, and she could not wait to enter a movie recommendation forum. She wrote, "Guys, let's go to the video website and watch the trailer of 'Elite Martial Heroes'. It's simply amazing. The mysterious Hua Xia Kung Fu is finally going to be revealed. I can guarantee that it is real Kung Fu, and not the fancy moves that we have seen in the past. Even our number one Karate master, Watanabe Watanabe, has participated in it. As a movie fan, I strongly recommend 'Elite Martial Heroes' to everyone. "
There were many movie fans like Lex. After they saw the action scenes, they did the same thing as Lex.
The trailer of 'Elite Martial Heroes' was recommended by countless movie fans. In less than three days, the number of views reached more than ninety million. Of course, there were also movie fans who had watched it many times.
However, no matter what, 'Elite Martial Heroes' had become popular in the United States.
MGM Grand, Paramount, and Columbia Cinemas saw that the upcoming release of 'Elite Martial Heroes' was using Kung Fu as a gimmick and quickly became popular in the United States. They could not help but be very happy. Without using a single cent from Xiao Yunhai, they took the initiative to help promote it.
From Daniel's report, Xiao Yunhai learned that 'Elite Martial Heroes' had become popular even before it was released. Hua Xia Kung Fu had become the hottest phrase on the Internet, and the trailer had reached an unprecedented one hundred and twenty million views. Xiao Yunhai was very happy about this.
However, he did not immediately go to the United States, because there were still many things that he needed to deal with in Hua Xia.
At ten o 'clock in the morning on August 19th, Xiao Yunhai, accompanied by Du Hongtai and Lee Hoon, arrived at a five-star hotel.
In order to find the perfect actress to portray Huang Rong, Du Hongtai did not hesitate to go to all the film and television schools in Hua Xia. He even went to many universities.
When the beautiful girls in the school heard that 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' had chosen a female lead, they naturally flocked to it.
After more than a month of careful selection, Du Hongtai finally chose five actors who were most suitable to play Huang Rong. Then, he asked Xiao Yunhai to come over and take a look. If there was a suitable one, then the matter would be settled.
After all, he had spent so much effort, and it was still unknown whether or not it would be successful.
In the temporary dressing room of the hotel, five girls from all over the country were sitting there, allowing the makeup artist to apply makeup to their faces.
Since they had never met each other before, and the five girls were all competitors, the room was quiet and no one spoke.
After a few minutes, Huang Meiling, a lively student from the Shanghai Film Academy, could not stand it anymore. She said to Wang Lisha, who was doing her makeup, "Miss Wang, can I ask you something?"
Wang Lina was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was gentle and had a good temper.
Hearing Huang Meiling's words, Wang Lina could not help but smile and say, "What do you want to ask?"
Huang Meiling said, "For this audition, will my idol, Yun Huang, come?"
When the other four girls heard this, they all pricked up their ears.
Wang Lina smiled and said, "He should come. I heard that Mr. Xiao hasn't handed over the copyright of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' to Director Du yet. "
The girl next to Huang Meiling exclaimed, "How can that be? If that's the case, then why are we here? "
Wang Lina said, "Rumor has it that Mr. Xiao values the role of Huang Rong very much. Unless Director Du can find an actress who meets his requirements, he won't give 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' to Director Du."
Huang Meiling said with admiration, "Yun Huang is really Yun Huang. He has such strict requirements for his own works."
Wang Lina smiled and said, "If it weren't for his strict requirements for the best TV series, how could Mr. Xiao have made such popular shows like 'Empresses in the Palace' and 'Langya's List'?"
One of the makeup artists next to them said, "You five have to work hard. No matter who gets chosen, it will be good news for the crew. Haha, whether or not us makeup artists can get a job in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' depends on you. "
Huang Meiling clenched her small fist and said, "Don't worry, we will succeed."
