Chapter 553: A big bet
"I bet Liu Yan and lose!" A man next to him suddenly walked over and said.
The few people turned around and saw that it was Powell. I don’t know when he was eavesdropping on the few people.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Powell is very unfavorable to me."
Others saw the smell of gunpowder, and Robertson said, "Does Powell like to go to bet on boxing?"
"I haven't gone to bet before, but since Mr. Liu Yan is going to do boxing, I want to go and have a look."
Liu Yan stared at Powell and said slowly: "Then how much do you want to detain? I want to detain you."
Powell was actually speaking quickly and deliberately angering Liu Yan, and wanted to bet really. Now that Liu Yan has taken him to the army, he was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Mo Xiaolin knew what Liu Yan meant. After the translation, she added: "Since Mr. Powell is so confident, he must bet more. Mr. Liu Yan is going to give him a million bets."
In fact, Liu Yan didn't say how many bets were made, but Mo Xiaolin followed Liu Yan's thoughts and began to run him.
Robertson and David also saw that Powell was narrow-minded and they were both leaning towards Liu Yan, but no matter what Powell said, he was also from Mei, so they couldn't say anything.
"One million?" Powell was stunned. He thought that the Chinese stars were not very rich. Even if they bet, they would only play with tens of thousands. Besides, the one million for Mei Guo is equivalent to the seven or eight million for China.
But Mo Xiaolin only had one million words, and even local celebrities could not play like this. Besides, he was the new star that became popular last year. Even if he could take it out, he could not play gambling boxing alone.
"Yes, it's just one million, do you dare to bet?" Mo Xiaolin looked at him with a smirk.
Robertson and David held back their laughter and did not help Powell smooth things over. The two deliberately talked about other things and did not participate in Powell's gambling topics.
Powell was here, gritted his teeth and said, "Then I bet a million too, the opponent will win!"
Although Powell has never visited the boxing competition, Thompson's seven boxing gyms are still very famous. He believes that no matter what, the boxers here will definitely beat Liu Yan!
Mo Xiaolin translated Powell's words to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan smiled and said, "That's settled. Mr. Robertson and Mr. David both listened to it. There is an old saying in China: If a word is as good as you can, you can't regret it!"
Powell said with a tough bullet: "Don't worry, you will lose. I will thank you for helping me earn this big amount of money."
At this time, Liu Yan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Thompson's phone.
He handed the phone to Mo Xiaolin, and Mo Xiaolin asked, "Hello, I am Liu Yan's translator."
Thompson asked, "Haha, you are the beauty who came to the boxing gym with Liu Yan. Please tell me Liu Yan that the time has been booked. It will be tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening. The third main game will be in the boxing gym on Hans Street. I will send someone to the hotel to pick you up."
Mo Xiaolin replied: "Okay, I'll tell him now, goodbye!"
Everyone looked at Mo Xiaolin, and she learned Thompson's words just now. Robertson said: "That's great, this is a good opportunity for Liu Yan to become famous. If he wins, the next movie will not be promoted. It will definitely be a big box office success!"
Powell said coldly: "That's not necessarily the case. If you lose, it's embarrassing!" Liu Yan was very calm, looked at the time, and said: "Let's eat here today. Thank you Mr. Robertson for your kind hospitality. I'll go back and prepare. I'm welcome to go to the boxing gym tomorrow."
David was the most excited. He firmly supported Liu Yan and said with a smile: "I will also place a bet tomorrow and bet Mr. Liu Yan by 100,000, no, 200,000!"
Liu Yan nodded and thanked him, then looked at Powell: "Mr. Powell, don't forget your one million bet."
"Don't forget your million, bet yourself, remember to exchange it for our country's money!" Powell replied dissatisfiedly.
"One word is certain!"
Liu Yan, Mo Xiaolin, Director Zhang, and Mr. Hu returned to the hotel. In Director Zhang's room, Mr. Hu held a meeting for several people.
"We came to the sand deposition machine this time mainly for Liu Yan's international development. Today, Director Zhang and I met with the Hollywood investment company. They are still very confident in Liu Yan, but there is one thing they don't feel satisfied." Hu Sanping said and looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan asked: "Mr. Hu, do they have any requirements?"
"Their request is that you have to speak English in the video, which is quite difficult." Hu Sanping shook his head slightly, because he knew that Liu Yan's origin was not from a professional background, and had never attended much study. It was simply impossible to suddenly learn a foreign language.
Seeing that Liu Yan didn't say anything, Mo Xiaolin lowered her head and stood up and said, "Uncle Hu, their request is a bit too much. Aren't the videos all available for dubbing?"
Hu Sanping shook his head and said, "This is their tradition here. They use original sounds, especially the protagonists. In fact, they put forward this condition, not to make things difficult for Liu Yan. As an international superstar, you must be proficient in English."
Liu Yan raised his head and said firmly: "Okay, Mr. Hu, I will try my best to learn English, but I can't guarantee how much I have learned, because I haven't learned it at all."
Seeing that Liu Yan's attitude was very firm, Hu Sanping nodded in praise: "Liu Yan, it's great that you have this determination, but it's very difficult. Let's do this. After returning to China, I'll find you a personal trainer who will teach you English specifically. And start with speaking, and ensure that you can master English as soon as possible."
Mo Xiaolin said from the side: "What other foreign teacher is hired? Just let me teach him!"
Liu Yan quickly refused: "Forget it, you are so busy, how can you have time to teach me every day?"
Hu Sanping also smiled and said, "You, don't make any trouble, you can understand your spoken language. It's too unauthentic!"
Mo Xiaolin sat down with her lips pouted and stopped talking. Liu Yan continued, "Mr. Hu, let's do this. We will stay here for a month. From tomorrow, I will learn speaking with Xiaolin. After returning to China, you can help me find a foreign teacher, so I can be considered a bit basic."
Zhang Yimou said: "Yes, this is good. In fact, in a foreign environment, learning foreign languages is the fastest, and you have the opportunity to chat with foreigners in daily life."
Just now, Hu Sanping and Director Zhang also drank a lot of red wine. After saying that, the two returned to their room to rest. Mo Xiaolin was still sitting, but said, "I'm going to sleep too."
Liu Yan was not sleepy yet, so he carried her to his lap and said with a smile: "You can teach me speaking now, I want to learn it!"
Mo Xiaolin laughed out loud and said, "You are quite anxious and ambitious. Why didn't you study hard when you were in school before?"
She didn't know that Liu Yan was a child from the countryside, so her words poked Liu Yan's sore spot. Liu Yan sighed and said, "I went to elementary school and I didn't study anymore."
"Why?" Mo Xiaolin asked in confusion.
"Most of our rural areas are like this, and I didn't study well at that time. But now I regret it. I should have studied hard at that time." Liu Yan recalled his days in the countryside, his face turned slightly red. He remembered the days when he was with Xiaohua. At that time, Xiaohua also gave him some lessons, but he couldn't learn well.
"So that's the case, it's okay. It's not too late to learn now. Come on, I'll teach you three sentences first, and it will be used immediately. How you,good bye bye…"
"By bye, I will, change to someone else!" Liu Yan said with a lip silence.
The two of them were playing and teaching English. Of course, Mo Xiaolin stayed in Liu Yan's room all night and did not go back.
The next night, Liu Yan was ready, and the hip-hop man Chris drove to the hotel and took Liu Yan and Mo Xiaolin to the boxing gym on Hans Street.
The boss Thompson personally brought people to the door of the boxing gym to greet Liu Yan. He was very enthusiastic. He stretched out his hands and held them together with Liu Yan, and said loudly: "Mr. Liu Yan, it is a great honor to invite you to participate in the boxing competition. Let me introduce you. This is your opponent today. He just asked to come and greet you with me. His nickname is Death. Come, get to know each other!"
Liu Yan just noticed the man standing next to Thompson. The man was wearing a gray hoodie and the pattern on the clothes was a blood-colored god of death, which looked scary.
But the scariest thing is his face. In four words, he is abominable face. He is a black man, but he has no eyebrows and big eyes, like a cow's eyeball. He doesn't know how to make his face. There is no flat area. He is full of scars or bumpy pits, his nose is crooked, and there is a piece missing. His lips are extremely thick and he is turning outward.
Liu Yan was secretly shocked, and there was no change in his face. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello."
The Death God's big hand was a circle bigger than Liu Yan. The joints on his hands were spit out, and his skin was extremely rough, like a tree bark. He shook hands with Liu Yan, but he didn't say anything.
Mo Xiaolin was very afraid of the god of death, so she hid back and walked around Liu Yan, not daring to look in the eyes.
Thompson smiled and said, "This guy, Death, doesn't like to talk, don't care, he is the boxer with the highest winning rate here, I've never counted it, and they all win by KO opponents! How about it, the opponent I've found for you is good, right?"
Although he was laughing, Liu Yan saw the vicious smell in his eyes. He immediately understood that Thompson had no good intentions. Last time he deliberately stabilized Liu Yan, and then dragged him for a day and found the most powerful boxer to deal with Liu Yan.
The result of doing this can be said to be a win-win situation. It can not only defeat the Chinese masters, increase the exposure of the boxing gym, but also make money. His wishful thinking is jingling.
Liu Yan knew something in his heart, and calmly replied with a smile: "That's right, this is fun. You should choose the strongest one to fight me. Let's go and take me in!"
Seeing that Liu Yan was not panicked at all, Thompson winked at his subordinates and walked towards the locker room inside.
