Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 854 - 613: Grand Tournament Champion_3

On the second day, "Liberation Daily," "Huaxia Youth Daily," "Huaxia Sports Daily," and other media successively provided detailed reports on the Universiade in the sports section.

Link's photo was placed in a prominent position, and the accompanying text exceeded 200 words. Although not much, it allowed Link to make a name for himself in the domestic sports circle.

Link didn't care much about such small-scale reports; what he cared about was the prize money from the competition.

Shortly after returning to the country, Link received the bonus and certificate sent by the athletics team under the sports department.

20,000 yuan in total.

The school also awarded him 5,000 yuan in the name of the Athletics College.

Because his family was relatively poor and he had great potential in sports, the school helped him apply for a national scholarship of 8,000 yuan.

From this Universiade, he got a total of 33,000 yuan, and together with his remaining savings of 10,000 yuan, it was still far from enough to buy a house and car.

After the Universiade ended, Link went back home for a visit. Visiting relatives just felt different since the appearance of his parents and siblings differed from his past life's family, he couldn't quite feel close with them.

He simply left another 10,000 yuan to help with the family expenses and returned to school early.

At the end of August, the World Boxing Championships were about to start, and he didn't have time to rest at this stage.

"Hey, friend, you look familiar. Are you an actor?"

On the flight back to Beijing, Link was reading a sports magazine when the man sitting opposite him called out.

"Hello, I'm a student at the Sports University; I haven't acted before."

Link put down the magazine and sized up the man, who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, dressed in a shirt, wearing tortoise-shell glasses, with a large head that made him look intellectual.

"Strange! Did I mistake you for someone else?"

The man adjusted his glasses and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Xiaoshuai, I'm a director. I think you have a very photogenic appearance, well-suited for acting. Have you considered developing in the direction of the film industry?"

"Hello, Director Wang!" freeweɓnøvel.com

Link shook hands with him, recalling that there was a well-known art film director in the country by the same name, whose representative works included "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" and "So Young," starring Gao Yuanyuan.

"You've probably seen my photo in the sports section."

Link passed the magazine over, which had his report in it.

Director Wang Xiaoshuai took it and looked with a surprised expression on his face. Link looked very handsome and had an outstanding aura, not looking like an ordinary person.

To have such a noticeably handsome person in a movie would definitely be popular. It just hadn't occurred to him that Link was not only handsome but also very capable, the men's shot put champion at the Universiade, breaking the domestic men's shot put record, and also the 69kg class champion at the National Boxing Championships.

A tough competitor indeed.

"I remember now, it seems that I've read about you in the newspaper. At first glance, I already felt that you were extraordinary. Seeing you in person, you're even more eye-catching and photogenic than in the photos. You'd definitely be popular in movies."

Director Wang Xiaoshuai said so.

Link lightly smiled. During his time mixing in Hollywood, he'd worked with many top directors, acted in countless classic films, creating numerous iconic screen personas, and even won the Oscars for Best Actor at the age of 48.

Also, because he acted frequently and had experience in politics, in public events, he would unconsciously carry the attributes of an actor, displaying his own charm, making his image even more prominent.

This was also the reason the other party felt he was extraordinary.

As for becoming an actor as mentioned by the other party, he wasn't interested. Firstly, from its inception to the next twenty or thirty years, the domestic entertainment industry remained quite immature and unprofessional.

Even if one became a top actor in the domestic entertainment circle, it wouldn't bring much sense of achievement.

Having already swept through foreign film awards in his past life, he didn't want to walk the old path again.

His main goal now was to practice boxing, regain his strength sooner, compete in boxing abroad, earn more money, and then see if he had the chance to meet Taylor and Ivanka in the United States.

Therefore, he declined Director Wang's casting invitation, but also exchanged contact information, promising to guest-star in his movie if there was a chance.

Moreover, investing in movies was also a good way to earn money.

Once he had enough funds, he could invest in a film company. People like Director Wang from the circle could be a good network connection; more communication and contact would be beneficial.

"Link, let's settle it then, come to my crew to guest-star after the competition," said Director Wang Xiaoshuai while shaking his hand as they got off the plane.

"Alright, I've got it," Link said with a light smile, shaking hands and bidding farewell.

Director Wang watched his figure and especially when seeing his flawless profile, he clenched his fist tightly, thinking it was a pity – such a person not acting was definitely a loss for the Chinese film industry.

He must get Link to dip his toes into the film industry, letting him experience the joy of acting.

After leaving the airport and getting into the car driven by his girlfriend Liu Xuan, Director Wang Xiaoshuai still couldn't forget about Link, and took the initiative to bring him up, praising Link to the skies.

But his girlfriend looked at him strangely, "Are you sick or something? That you can't stop thinking about a man?"

"Xuan'er, he's different, really different. He's not just ordinarily handsome and good-looking; he exudes an innate elegance and powerful masculine charm from his bones. Seeing him, you'd think there are no handsome men like that in the industry," Director Wang Xiaoshuai explained.

"You've probably encountered a fairy," Liu Xuan glanced at him while the car accelerated onto the main road.
