Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

"This guy is so cool, I must get to know him if I have a chance!"

On the street, Xia Yu looked at Link's retreating figure and said.

"Is that his girlfriend next to her? They are both tall and match her well."

Yuan Quan said.

"Let's go, it's getting dark, we should go back."

Zhou Xun retracted his distant gaze and walked towards the street with his pocket in his pocket.

Originally, they had agreed to go to a Houhai bar in the evening, but after hearing Link sing, Zhou Xun suddenly lost interest in going to the bar, and separated from a few people when they arrived at the Shichahai Park parking lot.

After getting in the car, Zhou Xun turned on his cell phone to record, and a melodious singing sound came from the cell phone. It was "500 miles" sung by Link. When recording, it was far away and there was some noise, but when listening to the song, he thought about Link singing it. The look, not the taste.

After listening to it once, Zhou Xun thought about it for a while, edited a multimedia message and sent it to Zhang Yadong, the producer of Taihe Maitian Music Company and an old friend of hers, asking him how the song was?

After a while, Zhang Yadong replied to the message and asked her where she recorded the song?

How was Zhou Xunwen's singing?

Zhang Yadong said that the sound source was not very clear, but it could be heard that the singer's singing skills were very solid and her song performance ability was very strong. I asked her which concert she was attending at home or abroad?

Zhou Xun said that in Shichahai Park, an 18-year-old street singer sang a song, a Chinese singer.

Zhang Yadong said it didn't look like him. This person's singing voice was very stable, like an old singer. He asked her if she knew who the other person was and had she left her contact information?

Zhou Xun said that this person is called Link, an athlete who has won the World Boxing Championship and the University Games shot put event.

Zhang Yadong asked her if she had admitted her mistake, why was she both a singer and an athlete?

Zhou Xun said yes, there was a report about him in the newspaper, and he should be able to find it if he asked around. He also told him that there were many people recording and videotaping Link when he sang today. If Taihe Maitian wants to sign him, it is best to start early. , he will be signed by other music companies later.

Zhang Yadong said he knew and would discuss it with Song Ke.

Zhou Xun put away his cell phone, started the car and left the parking lot.

——

After sending Zhang Zilin home, Link took the subway back to the dormitory of the University of Physical Education and continued training in boxing and shot put. He took the time to take three motor vehicle driver's tests and passed all three subjects successfully. He expected to get his driver's license at the end of the month and buy another one on the way. A mobility scooter.

On Saturday afternoon, he took time to visit director Wang Xiaoshuai's home, where he met Gao Yuanyuan, who was also a guest. Director Wang's girlfriend Liu Xuan seemed to want to bring the two together.

Link pretended not to understand. During the meal, Director Wang talked about the benefits of being an actor. He was a famous star with high salary and glamour. He also said that he was a famous athlete and would have advantages in becoming an actor in the future.

Link only said that he would consider it, but he would not actually become an actor.

To be an actor in the United States, top actors have status, status, and assets. They even have to win over the White House, and they may even have a chance to enter the White House.

Being an actor in China has little status even if you reach the top level. You are often called an "actor". Compared with famous athletes, your status is much lower than that of famous athletes, and it is not even as good as singers. If a singer does well, he can expand the status of Chinese songs in the world music scene. , win glory for the country.

Chinese actors and Chinese movies are completely unable to do this.

As for becoming a singer, Link is not considering it for the time being.

His current task is to become the world's top athlete, gain enough fame and exposure in the domestic and international sports circles, and earn a lot of money through bonuses in competitions. He will earn even more when he enters the professional boxing world in the future.

After becoming a sports star and becoming more famous, it is not too late to release an album at that time.

"Link, the Sports Center is not far from the Central Academy of Drama. Have you ever been there?"

Director Wang asked at the dinner table.

"I've been there. I passed by the Central Theater Gate two days ago."

Link said that the Chinese Opera is located in the Tongluoguxiang area, not far from Shichahai Park. He has visited it several times when passing by. The area is smaller than the main theater, but it is very famous.

"There are many beautiful girls in Chinese dramas. You can go and see more of them when you have time, hehe~"

"Hey what?"

Before Director Wang could finish speaking, Liu Xuan glared at him and said, "Link is a decent person at first sight. Don't influence him with those messy things."

"No, no, I just want Link to go to the Chinese Opera to take classes and learn some acting knowledge. Although Link is an athlete, athletes also live in youth. After thirty years old, you should consider retiring. Link is in good condition in all aspects. , being an actor is also a good way out.”

Director Wang Xiaoshuai quickly changed his words.

Opposite me, Gao Yuanyuan smiled slightly and looked up at Link, "Link, have you ever considered becoming an actor? I can recommend a few roles to you."

"I won't think about it for now. I'm too busy training and don't have time. I'll think about it when I retire in the future."

Link took a sip of his cold beer.

"Link is right to do this. He is only 18 years old and has more than ten years to go before he retires. There is no need to make plans so early. Link is now the main player in the national team's boxing and shot put events and puts his time and energy into training. , and strive to win a medal in next year’s Olympics. If there is a medal, it is also a good way out to work in the sports department in the future, or to stay at the national training base as a coach.”

Liu Xuan paused, pointed at Wang Xiaoshuai and Gao Yuanyuan and said, "You people in the film and television industry always like to pull people into trouble when you see handsome guys and beautiful girls, as if it's easy to be an actor."

Director Wang Xiaoshuai and Gao Yuanyuan both laughed.

——

After dinner, it was getting late. Link said goodbye. Gao Yuanyuan followed him and asked where he was going. She could give him a ride.

Lin Ke said it was not a big deal, as the subway station was not far away.

Gao Yuanyuan did not get on the bus either, saying that they would walk together to digest their food.

At sunset, the two walked side by side in the small park outside Liujia Hutong. Lin Ke wore a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers, looking fresh and handsome. Gao Yuanyuan tied a black ponytail and wore a white chiffon dress, revealing her fair arms and slender calves. With her beautiful face, she looked pretty good.

Gao Yuanyuan is 24 years old this year, from Kyoto. She became famous by shooting commercials in high school, and then entered the film and television industry. In 2001, she made her mark in the film and television industry with "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" directed by Wang Xiaoshuai. In the first half of the year, she played Zhou Zhiruo in the hit drama "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and her fame went up a level. She is a second-tier actor in the industry.

"Lin Ke, you sing very well. You don't want to be an actor, but you are preparing to be a singer."

Gao Yuanyuan hooked the hair by her ear and said.

"How do you know I sing well?"

"Guess?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled.

"I seldom sing in public. I only sang once this Wednesday in Shichahai Park. Were you there that day?"

"Yes, I just saw you singing when I passed by Shichahai Park after a party with a few friends. I didn't expect that you, an athlete, could sing well."

"Thank you! There are too many people in China, and it's not easy to make a living. One more skill can make you full."

"You are quite humorous."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed softly.

Link shrugged, looked up at the subway station in the distance, and asked Gao Yuanyuan, "Where is your car?"

"Over there, you can go first."

Gao Yuanyuan said.

"You just said you wanted to take me, I think this is a good idea."

"Oh? Why did you change your mind again?"

Gao Yuanyuan stopped and looked at him face to face.

"It's fun to chat with you, why don't you chat for a while?"

Link looked at Gao Yuanyuan and said.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled slightly, turned around and walked back, "Are you really only 18 years old? You speak like a very sophisticated adult."

"I matured early."

"I can see that from your temperament, you look more mature than me."

The two walked and talked, and came to Gao Yuanyuan's car. Gao Yuanyuan had just drunk a few glasses of beer during dinner, and her cheeks were red. Link didn't want to ruin his future in the hands of a female driver, so he offered to drive. He had a temporary driver's license.

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and handed him the car keys, opened the door and sat in the back seat.

Link asked her where her home was, then started the car and drove to Gao Yuanyuan's apartment in Chaoyang District.

When they arrived, when he was about to leave, Gao Yuanyuan asked him if he wanted to go up for a cup of tea.

Link looked at her and agreed.

When it was getting dark, the two walked into the community together and took the elevator to Gao Yuanyuan's apartment. It was not large, with two bedrooms and a living room. She lived alone, but the environment was very good. From the French window in the living room, you could see a park not far away and a lake.

When Gao Yuanyuan asked him what kind of tea she wanted to drink, he held the woman's cheek with his palm and kissed her gently, saying that he liked her taste and asked if there was any tea that tasted like hers?

Gao Yuanyuan's face became redder, her face was like a peach, her red lips slightly opened, and her eyes blinked.

Link touched the woman's neck and kissed her again, a long French kiss.

After the kiss, Gao Yuanyuan pushed his strong chest muscles and asked if it was too fast, they had only known each other for a day.

Link said that there were too many people in the world, and the probability of meeting someone who appreciated each other and was willing to get close to each other among billions of people was extremely small. Now that they had met, one day was enough.

Gao Yuanyuan looked up at him.

Link held her slender waist and kissed her again.

This time, they kissed directly from the living room to the bedroom.

Clothes and shoes were scattered all the way.

When Link came out of the bedroom again, it was more than two hours later. The sky outside had completely darkened. Link took a shower, poured a glass of milk and put it beside him, and called Zhang Zilin to chat for a while.

After drinking the milk, he returned to the bedroom. Gao Yuanyuan fell asleep on the quilt, her cheeks were bright red as if she had been steamed in a sauna.

Link found some ointment in the small medicine box and helped her apply it, turned off the lights, and hugged her into the quilt.

When he woke up the next day, Gao Yuanyuan blushed and looked at him with strange eyes, spitting that he was a playboy, otherwise he wouldn't have so many.

Link said he learned it online and practiced it with his girlfriend.

Gao Yuanyuan asked him how many girlfriends he had?

Link didn't tell her. After breakfast, he left Gao Yuanyuan's apartment and took a car back to the Sports University for training.

——

In the following period, the focus of his life was still boxing training, followed by shot put training. After training every day, he would swim for half an hour in the school swimming center.

Sometimes when Zhang Zilin was free, Link would go to her to walk around the streets and look at houses and cars.

As they got along for a long time, their relationship became closer. Except for the last step, they did everything else.

After having Gao Yuanyuan, his need for Zhang Zilin was no longer so urgent. Every time he was intimate, it was just right, and it would not make Zhang Zilin feel psychologically burdened.

On Gao Yuanyuan's side, Gao Yuanyuan seemed to have tasted the sweetness and often invited him to look at houses.

Link trained every day and supplemented his nutrition. His body was burdened and his temper was even greater. He needed to relax in this way.

So every time they had a tryst, he was not polite. Just like he treated Martin Murray in the World Championships finals, he often delivered heavy punches continuously until his opponent fainted.

With Gao Yuanyuan's help, he became more focused during training, and the training effect was better. His strength and speed were steadily improving.

The maximum explosive power of his right fist increased to 680 catties, and the maximum explosive power of his left fist was 550 catties. In the middleweight class, this fist weight is not inferior to the current middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins.

In the shot put event, his best result also slowly increased to 19.92 meters, just one step away from breaking the 20.5-meter Asian record.

In addition, his speed in short-distance running and middle-distance running has also been steadily improving. Last week, he successfully broke through 11 seconds, with the fastest 10.91 seconds, reaching the level of a first-class athlete.

In September, when the sports university started, Link not only had to train, but also had to take time for professional courses. The opportunity to go to the city to find Gao Yuanyuan was also reduced, from the initial three or four times a week to one or two times.

In a while, Gao Yuanyuan will go to the crew of "The Oath of the Sea" to film. Without Gao Yuanyuan's help, Link may have to think of other ways.

During this period, Song Ke, the boss of Taihe Maitian Music Company, called him and asked him if he was interested in being a singer and invited him to audition at Maitian's recording studio.

Lin Ke said that he was busy with training recently and had no time, and would wait until the Asian Track and Field Championships to talk about it. Song Ke said yes.

Taihe Maitian is one of the most influential music companies in China. Its singers include Sha Baoliang, A Duo, Huang Zheng, Pu Shu, Man Wenjun, etc. It has rich copyright resources and media resources, and is second to none in China in terms of the ability to promote singers.

If you want to be a singer, cooperating with Maitian is also a suitable choice.

In addition, people from boxing promotion companies such as Top Promotion, Competition Room Promotion, and Queensbury have recently found him and proposed signing again, with the signing fee increased to 1 million US dollars.

However, Lin Ke insisted on 5 million US dollars.

Due to the huge differences between the two sides, Lin Ke has not been able to reach any cooperation with several promotion companies for the time being.

Link is not in a hurry about this. As long as he can win more amateur competitions, get more championships and become a boxing celebrity, he will have more and better options.
