Chapter 30 Professional Boxing Opponents and Training Plans
Bob Arum was holding a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle. After reading the exclusive interview article by Wang Lei written by Simon Neal, Arum was surprised.
"Wang, you really wrote two movie scripts and a science fiction novel?"
"Yes, that novel was just finished yesterday, and I plan to write one!" Wang Lei replied.
"Jurassic Park" is one of the most famous and most popular science fiction commercial blockbusters in film history directed by Spielberg in 1993. It is also the first blockbuster in film history with a global box office of over 900 million yuan. It is said that director Spielberg made a profit of $250 million.
Wang Lei originally wanted to write the script of "Jurassic Park", but after he found that the original novel of this film had not appeared yet, he had the idea of writing novels first and selling the copyright of the movie in the future.
Wang Lei has never read the original novel of "Jurassic Park" or the Chinese translation, but he has watched the movies and has read more than once. In addition, his writing style is good, so he feels quite good when writing novels.
This novel is less than 200,000 words long. Wang Lei only wrote about 2,000 to 3,000 words a day. It took him three months to write it again and again before he finished writing it.
After writing this novel, Wang Lei found that he might not be just a screenwriter, and it would be nice to be a part-time writer.
So he wrote several novels to write in his notebook, namely "The Matrix", "Resident Evil", "The Truman's World", "Butterfly Effect", "Source Code", "The Day After", "Inception", and "Interstellar".
Except for "Trumen's World", almost all of them are hard science fiction. If it weren't for "ET Alien", the "Terminator" series of "Back to the Future" had been filmed and released, and Wang Lei would also want to write the novel of this movie.
However, even if there is no "ET Alien" and "Back to the Future" "Terminator" series, based on the above few novels, Wang Lei feels that he will definitely become a "science fiction master" in the American novel industry.
In the future, if Hollywood wants to shoot these films, it has to buy copyright from itself and ask itself to adapt the script.
Just thinking about this, Wang Lei felt very happy.
As for works like "Harry Potter" and "Twilight", which are super best-selling in both novels and movies, Wang Lei thought about it for a while and finally gave up.
Because he felt that he could not write novels about children's magic or teenagers' love, and he did not want to become a full-time novelist in the future.
His official position is still professional boxing!
I heard Bob Arum ask: "Does the novel you wrote find a publishing channel? Do you want me to help?"
"Uh, no, I have a publishing channel, someone will help me!" Wang Lei refused.
Just kidding, how can I ask you for help in this kind of thing? You are my boxing agent and promoter. It is enough to arrange my professional boxing business!
What's more, how can I not give it to you, the Jewish guy, for my future sister-in-law?
Fortunately, Bob Arum didn't care about this, but said: "Well, you won the Best Screenwriter Award. If you can successfully publish a novel, it will be very beneficial to your popularity. When you play professional boxing, you can save a lot of publicity costs!"
Wang Lei asked: "Mr. Arum, I have applied for a professional boxing license from the California State Government as you told me. When will I play a professional boxing match?"
"Don't worry, at least you have to wait until your professional license is issued!" Arum smiled and said, "But I think it's too soon. As early as the end of this year, you will become a professional boxer by the latest spring next year. Before that, it is recommended that you train well and be familiar with the rules and styles of professional boxing. Fortunately, your coach is Sadler, who has coached three professional boxing champions, so you are not worried that you will not be able to teach you well!"
"By the way, I have discussed with WBC Chairman Jose Suleiman. If you get a professional license and play a welterweight professional boxing match at the end of the year or next spring, then you can get the name in WBC first. And we have arranged three opponents that are very suitable for you. These are their names and information. You can use them to study with Sadler!"
Bob Arum said, pulling out a very thin document.
"It's so fast?"
Wang Lei was surprised and took the documents from Bob Arum and looked at them casually. He was shocked when he saw them.
I saw that the first name on the file was "Maurice Brock".
Wang Lei has never heard of this name, and the record above also shows that this person is just a professional boxer who just debuted this year. He has only played two professional boxing matches, 2 wins, 1 KO. His amateur record is not very good, 52 wins, 24 losses, 2 draws, 15 KO.
He lost 24 games in 78 amateur boxing matches and tied 2 games, with only 15 KO wins, less than one-third of the winning rate.
Such a record is inconspicuous no matter how you look at it, but this guy's coach writes "Eddie Fuqi".
Wang Lei doesn't know many boxing coaches, but Eddie Fuqi happens to be the coach he knows.
Because Eddie Fuqi's reputation can definitely be called famous in the boxing coaching industry, just like Ali in the boxing industry.
Eddie Fuqi is nicknamed "Champion Processing Factory". He coached for 50 years and retired in 1998, and has trained a total of 21 world champions.
Among them, Joe Fraser, Ken Norton and Larry Holmes, who defeated Ali, were all disciples he trained or coached.
Since Maurice Brock is Eddie Fuqi's disciple, he may have won the boxing champion in the future. Wang Lei was a little under pressure when he met this guy in the first game.
However, after reading the names and information of the second and third opponents in the file, Wang Lei felt even more stressed.
"Michael Nunn, 20 years old, 184 cm tall, 148 pounds, 4 professional record 4 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws and 4KOs. His coach is Angel Dundee, who has coached Mohamed Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard..."
Damn, this guy is the junior brother of boxing champion Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard!
Angel Dundee is also a famous coach in the professional boxing industry. He has also produced many world champions, and his status is no worse than Eddie Fauci.
Bob Arum and Jose Suleiman, you two really can arrange opponents for me!
First of all, I am the disciples of the two champion coaches. I really look down on me!
When Wang Lei saw the name and information of the third opponent, he became speechless.
"Jerry Peg, 24 years old, has a professional record of 7 wins and 1 loss and 4KO, is 182 cm tall and weighs 147 pounds, coach Lou Dewa, the gold medalist in the 23rd Olympic Games boxing super lightweight (63.5 kg) in 1984..."
He was the boxing champion of the Los Angeles Olympics two years ago?
Wang Lei looked at the documents in his hand and didn't know what to say. Bob Arum patted his shoulder and said, "Train well, I believe you can defeat them!"
After saying that, Bob Arum said goodbye and left.
As soon as Bob Arum left, Sadler came over, holding a sixteen-door notebook in his hand.
"Wang, this is a professional training plan I have designed for you for three nights. You are going to be a professional boxer. The previous training method is not suitable and you have to change it. In the future, you can train according to the above plan. Your life and study time must be adjusted, and the above training should be the main focus!"
Wang Lei took the notebook from Sadler's hand, opened it and looked.
Before he finished reading it, Wang Lei's face couldn't help but turn green.
Chapter completed!
