Xiao Yong's fist hit Michael Johnson's face, and Michael Johnson fell to the sky.
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yong's mouth.
Very good, very good!
In the system space, after sparring with Michael Johnson and Kevin Lee, Xiao Yong began to try many moves that he would not dare to use easily in actual combat.
In UFC competitions, Xiao Yong faces masters. In this case, he often does not dare to use some uncertain moves rashly.
If your daily sparring skills are not good enough, the moves you may be able to use during sparring will become a flaw when attacking your opponent in competition!
But now, it's different.
Michael Johnson, who is at his peak, can be ranked among the top five lightweights in terms of pure standing.
The moves that work against him will most likely work when facing others!
After the actual combat training, Xiao Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at his rapidly growing fear level, he couldn't help but shake his head.
The news that Xiao Yong was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars has been exposed!
It can be said that no Chinese actor has been nominated for an Oscar for many years.
Since the stars of the older generation have aged out, although the Chinese entertainment industry has become more and more capital-expanding and its remuneration is frighteningly high, in fact, its international influence has become less and less.
In fact, when it comes down to it, the quality of the works is getting lower and lower.
There are a lot of gorgeous costumes and props, and each shot has a filter to beautify your face.
It is becoming more and more impetuous and has no connotation.
Xiao Yong's nomination undoubtedly made domestic netizens extremely happy.
Under such circumstances, the films starring Xiao Yong were naturally watched by many people.
in the country, this kind of movie cannot be released.
But I can’t afford the resources.
If you don't show it, you'll just watch pirated copies openly.
Xiao Yong didn't care about this. Anyway, if the audience watched it and generated fear value, they could still exchange it for cash.
Although the fear value is not drawn repeatedly in a movie, even if it is drawn only once, it is still very impressive.
After all, Xiao Yong performed very well in his first scary scene.
Xiao Yong's fear level at this time has exceeded 300 million.
Among them, the increase brought by this thriller movie is at least 200 million.
If converted into money, he is the biggest winner of this movie.
Of course, in Xiao Yong's opinion, fear value is far more important than money. Although there is no interest in the system, at least it will not be lost.
Xiao Yong looked at his system mall.
1. God-level goalkeeper card (consumes 10,000 ferocious energy, and after obtaining it, you can achieve the level of the world's top goalkeeper!)

Regarding this thing, Xiao Yong can only say that the goalkeeper cannot save the national football team, and he does not want to be a goalkeeper, unless he can use his fists to attack the opponent's players in the penalty area...
If possible, he probably wouldn't need this card.
2. Memory erasure card (consumes 1000 fierce energy and can erase the target's memory within three hours.)
Seeing this thing, Xiao Yong actually didn't feel that it was of any use.
However, he still exchanged one, mainly because he had no shortage of fear points now and was prepared for any danger.
4. Vulture (after purchase, all hair on the body will disappear and will never grow, the level of ferocity +10, consumption of ferocious energy 3)
Regarding this, Xiao Yong simply chose to ignore it.
What bullshit vulture.
He has no interest in making himself hairless, so he will be laughed to death by Yang Lele?
During this period, the system has produced a large number of such things. I would say they are useless, but they seem to be a little bit useful. But they are not very useful.
But he had enough fear for Xiao Yong, so even if some things seemed useless, he bought some.
It's like a memory erasure card.
In addition, there are some traditional martial arts cards. Xiao Yong bought a lot of these things. It is no exaggeration to say that Xiao Yong is now proficient in all kinds of weapons.
Although it's useless...
Beautiful Country, Oscar Awards Ceremony.
Xiao Yong is wearing a suit.
When he put on a suit, he didn't appear to be very polite. He still looked very fierce.
Beside him was Katherine Landford, who was wearing a gorgeous dress.
The two were arranged to attend the red carpet together.
However, Catherine Landford and Xiao Yong are not very familiar with each other. When filming on the set, the scenes between the two were basically chasing and confrontation, with very little drama.
At this time, Catherine Landford did not take the initiative to talk to Xiao Yong, and stood a little apart.
The two of them stood there waiting to appear, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
At this moment, a middle-aged white man walked over.
Seeing Xiao Yong wearing a suit, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Xiao! I'm David Drew!"
David Drew, a British director.
It is also quite famous in the industry.
When people took the initiative to say hello, Xiao Yong also smiled and said: "Hello."
David Drew got straight to the point: "That's right, I want to shoot a gangster movie and I want you to star in it. Are you interested? If possible, I will also find Tom Hardy."
Among the movies this guy shot, one of the most famous is Mob House starring Tom Hardy.
In this movie, Tom Hardy is very arrogant.
Created a classic ruffian image!
Xiao Yong also didn't expect that this director would actually invite him to star in a movie.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yong said: "What you said is okay, but I want to read the script first. I will give you my agent's phone number. You can contact him then."
David Drew quickly nodded in agreement, and Xiao Yong gave De La Hoya's phone number and his own phone number to the other party.
It's impossible for him to directly agree to the invitation. Whether it's the script or the remuneration, they all have to be negotiated.
Xiao Yong is no different now than he was back then, and there is no shortage of filming. It can even be said that if Xiao Yong wants to film, he will have no problem filming in China from the beginning of the year to the end of the year!
After exchanging contact information, David Drew was overjoyed!
You know, starring in this kind of movie.
Temperament is very important.
Just like Tom Hardy or Hua Qiang, they are born to perform that kind of aura, but if it were someone else, it wouldn't be the same.
Just now he saw Xiao Yong from a distance!
Seeing Xiao Yong wearing a suit that could not hide his fierce temperament at all, he instantly became excited!
Isn't this the male protagonist he is looking for?
Xiao Yong has become famous in the industry recently. He also knew Xiao Yong and directly approached him to invite him.
Just when David Drew was about to leave, Katherine Landford suddenly said: "Director David, can you give me a role? I will definitely be able to perform it well."
David Drew was stunned.
In fact, Katherine Landford's own resources are not very good.
If you don’t have enough resources, you have to find ways to find shows.
Beauty has never been indispensable in the entertainment industry.
For David Drew, inviting Katherine Landford is not unacceptable. In gangster movies, women are also needed.
Especially this woman, she still stands with Xiao Yong.
He looked at Xiao Yong.
Seeing that Xiao Yong had no movements or expressions, he thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, I will go back and have a look. If the role is suitable, I will decide the role together with Xiao Yong."
His meaning was very clear. If Katherine Landford wanted a role, Xiao Yong would need to take the role.
With thanks to Katherine Landford.
David Drew is gone.
Xiao Yong lowered his head, looked at Catherine Landford, and sneered: "Miss Landford, we don't know each other very well, right? Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask for a role like this?"
David Drew just came to invite him and gave him the role.
Essentially, it has nothing to do with Katherine Landford.
Catherine Landford was next to Xiao Yong and suddenly asked for a role. As long as she was a normal person, she would definitely have to consider the relationship between the two.
That's why David Drew didn't refuse.
Katherine Landford also knew that this matter was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
She whispered: "I'm sorry, Xiao, but I really need some opportunities. I can give you 30% of the salary as compensation for you."
For Catherine, opportunity is more important than money.
Seeing that Catherine's attitude in front of him was quite good, Xiao Yong rolled his eyes and didn't bother to get to know her!
In fact, if Xiao Yong really wants to, he can deliberately take some actions to divide the relationship between the two.
For example, when David looks at him, he can hide away from Catherine, or he can speak out.
But judging from the previous cooperation between the two, Xiao Yong feels that although Katherine Landford has a cold relationship with him, she is essentially a good actor, both in terms of acting skills and performance on the set.
.
If you continue to star in opposite roles, it can be considered a guarantee.
Who knows if there are any weird actors like Qin Yue in foreign countries? If I meet one, I will be speechless.
That's why he simply didn't move.
But if you don't move, you won't move, but you still have to say what you need to say clearly.
If Katherine Landford just said that she was being arrogant with Xiao Yong, then she would definitely explain it clearly to David Drew.
The explanation actually means that you don't want to cooperate.
But since Catherine Landford lowered her posture and apologized, Xiao Yong didn't bother to pursue it.
"Okay, that's it this time. Forget about the money. Whether I take the role or not depends on the script."
Katherine Landford quickly said: "It's definitely no problem. With Tom Hardy and David Drew, it will definitely be a good gangster movie."
If these two people weren't really famous, Katherine Landford wouldn't have spoken.
Xiao Yong said no more, and Catherine Landford breathed a sigh of relief.
He stole a glance at Xiao Yong next to him.
This guy doesn't seem to be as fierce as he appears... and he feels much kinder than before.
Katherine Landford thought secretly.
Not so nice, Xiao Yong wore a fear ring during filming.
The amplification effect of that thing, combined with the specific scene, makes Xiao Yong particularly scary.
But now, Xiao Yong did not wear the ring and forgave her again, which made Catherine Landford feel Xiao Yong's "kindness".
Therefore, when walking on the red carpet, Katherine Landford did not keep her distance from Xiao Yong. Instead, she hugged Xiao Yong's arm.
When Xiao Yong and her appeared on the red carpet, the surrounding audience screamed!
But most of the people shouted Xiao Yong’s name.
Now Xiao Yong is still quite popular in the beautiful country.
Whether it's a movie or a competition, they all performed very well.
After the two people entered the venue, their seats were also placed together. Relatively speaking, they were still relatively far back.
There is no way, these two people are right there.
Although Xiao Yong earned a salary of 20 million US dollars per film, overall.
Still a newcomer.
People will not put him next to those A-list superstars just because he received a salary of 20 million US dollars.
Not to mention Katherine Landford.
As the host came on stage and performed some programs, the two of them started chatting below.
"Xiao, can you win the next game?"
"I know you beat Jason Luo Yin in Austria. I hate that guy too."
"He even chased me, but I rejected him."
"He has now become the chairman of Luoyin Group, but he is still in a lawsuit with his brother."
The two still have some common topics, including Xiao Yong's competition, acting, and Jason Luoyin.
After all, Catherine Landford is also Austrian.
Regarding the fight between the Luo Yin family, she was completely in the role of a spectator.
Xiao Yong also found it funny that this Jason Luo Yin actually chased Katherine Landford.
"Why didn't you agree?" Xiao Yong asked curiously: "That guy is really rich."
"I don't like that guy, so I was quite happy when you beat him up... But before we were filming, you were so scary that I didn't even dare to go over and talk to you..."
After alleviating her fear of Xiao Yong, Katherine Landford talked more.
Let’s talk a little bit, and soon we came to the award ceremony for Best Actor.
Unsurprisingly, Xiao Yong did not win this award.
But, for him, being able to appear here as a finalist is of great significance.
This result disappointed many domestic audiences.
But compared to losing the game, everyone is more tolerant of this kind of thing.
"It's already the first time that the boss has been nominated for Best Actor in a foreign film. It's already amazing."
"That's for sure. How can any of the younger generation in China be able to do such a thing."
"What a pity, I still didn't get it."
"It's normal. They are all international superstars, but Xiao Yong is still a bit young."
"But that movie was really scary."
"I guess it has something to do with the fact that the film is too niche."
"Indeed, it's not a particularly popular film, but to be honest, when you look at these actors' headshots together, Xiao Yong is really eye-catching, and he looks really fierce..."
After the award ceremony, there is actually a dinner party.
This is also a good opportunity for actors to communicate with each other and find resources.
But for Xiao Yong, he didn't think about it that much at all.
He has only one purpose.
eat!
Pure eating!
Because he was really hungry, the award ceremony lasted for more than three hours.
Coupled with the drive, makeup, and preparations he took when he arrived, he was really hungry.
The dinner uses top-quality ingredients, all kinds of seafood, and Wagyu beef, and everything tastes great.
While eating, Xiao Yong also drank some of the drinks at the scene.
Soon, the sharp-eyed Xiao Yong discovered a brand of wine.
proper NO TWELVE!
This alcohol brand is Conor McGregor’s industry.
During his game with Kitty Eagle, this guy frequently used his influence to promote this drink.
Coupled with a lot of star power, this whiskey is now famous.
It has become a popular brand in Europe and the United States.
It was also prepared at the Oscars dinner, which shows that it is really popular now.
Fire represents money!
Xiao Yong asked the waiter to pour him a glass.
Take a sip.
Smooth in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness and vanilla.
No matter how much, Xiao Yong can't drink it. He is not a master of wine tasting.
But overall, it is not as strong as domestic drinks.
Even though foreigners seem to be good drinkers, they are really not used to the strength and taste of domestic drinks.
Xiao Yong fell into deep thought. Selling wine is really profitable.
Didn’t you see that every one of Pan Zigazi made a lot of money?
Do you want to try to create a drink brand yourself to see how you can fool foreigners?
Have an MMA-level acquaintance with Connor?
Nazi, this wine business is too deep, you can’t control it!
Xiao Yong started to make calculations.
Of course, he hasn't figured out how to operate it yet, but if nothing else, Xiao Yong has money now, so he is not afraid of losing money.
"Hi!" Xiao Yong was thinking deeply.
It turned out that it was Wen Ziren who came over. He patted Xiao Yong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you looking at? Is this wine delicious?"
From Hollywood, if you want to say that the relationship is really good, Director Wen is the one.
However, his position was much further forward than Xiao Yong's, so there was no interaction at the award ceremony.
This time, James Wan still achieved something.
Xiao Yong smiled and said: "It's just so-so. I've never tasted Connor's wine brand. Let's give it a try."
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Yong had almost finished eating, so he said goodbye and left.
After he returned to the hotel, he received the script the next day.
Xiao Yong read the script. Generally speaking, this is not a story about two heroes competing for hegemony.
The two protagonists are the two younger brothers in the gang.
The story of then working together to get it done to his boss.
In the end, after finishing it, the two did have some conflicts. After a fight, they did not distinguish between life and death. Instead, they resolved the conflict through brotherhood. The character played by Xiao Yong became the new boss.
The character played by Tom Hardy returns to a peaceful life!
In this kind of role, whether you are good or not, the actor's temperament accounts for 70%.
The plot and script can only account for three thirds.
To put it bluntly, this is a play that requires actors to have a strong personal temperament.
Tom Hardy's image as a ruffian in his early years has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
If he plays a role, then the other role cannot be weaker than his aura.
So David chose Xiao Yong!
After reading the script, Xiao Yong thought about it and called De La Hoya and asked him to discuss the matter.
After hanging up the phone, De La Hoya was a little speechless. The movie contract... we didn't talk much about it.
All he talks about is boxer contracts!
But Xiao Yong has spoken, so we have to talk even if we haven’t already!
