Huayu: King of Kung Fu

Chapter 72 War Tiger 2

Lin Hu's film sold its overseas rights for $800 million, which is quite impressive.

However, after "Rumble in the Bronx", Chen Long's film rights can sell for $3000 million, with $800 million coming from North America alone.

Compared to his older brother Long, Lin Hu is just a newbie.

Even so, it's not something that Aunt Hua could hire with a 1000 million yuan fee; those two are simply dreaming.

However, Lin Hu has also realized that he is now a piece of Tang Monk's flesh that everyone wants to eat, and he has to find a way to protect himself.

Before we knew it, August arrived, and Ong-Bak 2 was finally going to be released.

Given the box office success of "Ong-Bak 1" which grossed 100 million yuan, China Film Group attaches great importance to "Ong-Bak 2".

China Film Group held a premiere at the Capital Cinema, inviting many industry professionals and media to attend.

However, the premiere in mainland China was rather boring. There was no red carpet show, no celebrities vying for attention, and certainly no crowds of fans screaming around.

The basic process involves the main creators arriving, leaders giving speeches, and media interviews.

After they go back, each media outlet will publish a report in their newspaper, and that will be considered publicity!

Lin Hu did not try to be different and cooperated with the process.

In addition, China Film Group also arranged for Lin Hu to appear on CCTV6's "China Film Dynamics" program, which was quite effective publicity.

……

Yang Xiaoye was still sleeping in early in the morning when her mother woke her up.

"Get up quickly and have breakfast!"

"What time is it? Why are you waking me up so early!"

Yang Xiaoye stayed up until 2 a.m. with her classmates last night and didn't get enough sleep, so she was grumpy when she woke up.

"It's nine o'clock, the movie starts at ten-thirty!"

"oh!"

Yang Xiaoye then remembered that she had bought movie tickets yesterday and told her parents that she wanted to see "Ong-Bak 2".

Yang Xiaoye brushed her teeth and washed her face, put on some light makeup, and sat down at the dining table to eat the breakfast her mother had bought.

She took a couple of bites of the three-delicacy bean curd sheets, then a sip of eggnog, smoothed her mouth, and said, "Mom, you seem to really like that Lin Hu?"

"I don't know either, I just felt a connection with that young guy."

"It's a pity he doesn't act in TV dramas, otherwise you could watch them!"

Yang Xiaoye almost laughed. How come her mother, in her middle age, had become a fan of celebrities?

After the family of three finished breakfast, they went to the movie theater and found it packed with people, like it was Chinese New Year.

Yang Xiaoye was astonished: "Why are there so many people?"

After reading the newspaper report, Yang's father said very rationally, "Didn't the Americans bomb our embassy a while ago?"

Everyone was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it. When they saw the news that "Ong-Bak 2" was about fighting Americans, it's no wonder they all came to see it.

Moreover, the first Ong-Bak movie already had a high box office, and Lin Hu has many fans who are eagerly awaiting the sequel.

Yang Xiaoye listened to her father's explanation and nodded repeatedly.

Just then, the 9:00 AM screening ended, and a large group of people walked out of the screening room.

Some young people were flushed, seemingly still wanting more.

They were still discussing it as they walked.

"That last kick was so cool! My heart almost stopped watching!"

"It's a pity it was a Chinese man who was kicked to death; it would have been better if it had been an American!"

"He's just got a Chinese face, that's all, what's even more hateful!"

The two left through gritted teeth, which made Yang Xiaoye very curious. Why were they so agitated over just watching a movie?

……

The family of three lined up to enter, and the movie soon began.

The screen lit up from the darkness, revealing a vast expanse of lush green rice paddies.

A cute little boy, carrying a schoolbag, stood on the edge of the field, playing with a stalk of rice.

Then, two huge tusks appeared from one side of the image, and an elephant slowly walked over.

The little boy rode an elephant to school, which made Yang Xiaoye extremely envious.

So people in Yunnan ride elephants to school?

The scene shifts, and the little boy has grown up; it turns out he was Ah Hu when he was a child.

Then, Ah Hu's family's elephant was lured onto a container truck and stolen.

In his quest to retrieve the elephant, Ah Hu chased it all the way to America, where he began brutally beating up the Americans.

A dozen or so American hip-hop youths, including Black, White, and Asian people.

They grabbed sticks and ganged up on Lin Hu, but Lin Hu beat them up with a flurry of Chinese kung fu.

In the second part, Lin Hu's fighting style is no longer limited to the Angquan (Angquan) style; he has more special moves and fights even more fiercely.

Often, a single punch or kick is enough to make an American scream in agony.

The audience in the movie theater were all thrilled and cheered loudly.

The atmosphere at the movie screening became very lively.

Next, Lin Hu catches up with the Chinese gang and questions Elephant.

Although Ah Hu was very fierce when fighting Americans, he was not initially willing to fight Chinese people, so he chose to demonstrate.

Suddenly, he leaped up and kicked out, shattering a street lamp into pieces!

"Wow!" The audience in the movie theater were all amazed by his handsomeness.

"He seems even more impressive than Bruce Lee!"

What follows is a breathtaking five-minute action sequence, where he fights his way from the first floor to the fourth, taking on a hundred people single-handedly, one punch after another against the Americans.

Yang Xiaoye suddenly understood why the two boys had been so excited after watching the movie.

Even though she was a girl, she felt that every punch and kick from Lin Hu seemed to carry a sense of satisfaction in taking revenge.

Many Chinese people have a simple sense of patriotism. Like many Chinese people, she felt extremely angry about the recent embassy incident, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

This feeling is very frustrating.

Although Ong-Bak 2 is just a movie, if you get into it, seeing Lin Hu defeat an American seems to mean that a little bit of your negative emotions are released.

When Lin Hu single-handedly defeated a hundred people, it was as if he had avenged her.

At this moment, all the pent-up frustration in her heart seemed to be released, and she couldn't help but applaud.

In an instant, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the screening room.

This is a tribute to the unprecedentedly long fight scene, and also a release after the pent-up emotions in my heart have been relieved.

The enthusiastic applause soon subsided, but Ah Hu's punches and kicks did not stop. He fought his way through the obstacles.

From now on, he will no longer be fighting minions, but bosses.

Chinese Kung Fu versus Brazilian Capoeira, Chinese sword versus Japanese sword, double hammers versus American strongmen – each match was full of novelty and left a deep impression.

Finally, Ah Hu rushed to the rooftop, took a running start, and Ling Fei leaped up, kicking Zun Long in mid-air. The two of them fell to the ground together.

Many audience members were so shocked that they stood up from their chairs!

……

In a movie theater in Beijing, Lin Hu and Zhou Xun sat in the back row, silently observing the audience's reactions.

Seeing the audience's excited expressions, Lin Hu understood.

What he brought this time was not "Ong-Bak 2", but "Tiger 2".
