71 Feel Good Inc.(1)

After the game, after bidding farewell to Jericho, Bai Quinn drove Randy home.

From Madison Square Garden to 122nd Street in East Harlem, you can drive along the bank of the East River at night. This will avoid traffic jams and enjoy the night views on both sides of the East River. It only takes half an hour to get home.

The filming of "The Legend of Evil" will be completed within a month. With sufficient funds this time, the post-production work will be left to professionals. The master and apprentice only need to wait for the film to be completed and cooperate with the publicity and distribution.

As for Widmark Image's next project, "American Psycho," there is absolutely no room for the two of them as action actors.

In addition, the cooperation with WWF has come to an end. Bai Quinn can work on music and wait for the progress of Jack Cheng's project, but Randy has entered a situation with nothing to do.

The old guy also signed a contract with an agency, and Mike Kirk introduced a junior from CAA to manage his agency business. After "Bonnie and Drake" was released, there were indeed some audition invitations for villains, and Lan, who was better at action scenes, was actually invited.

Dee.

But Randy loves wrestling more than movies. He would rather go to the wrestling ring to play Quinn's manager than take on some inexplicable movies.

Perhaps the most direct emotional feedback from the audience can be obtained in the wrestling ring, but movies are always separated from the audience by a screen.

Bai Quinn knew that Randy was using his layoff to remind him to return to the wrestling ring as soon as possible.

The master and the apprentice did not expect that Lao Mai would be so decisive. After the proposal to make Bai Quinn the "King of the Ring" was rejected, they stopped the contract renewal negotiations. Both sides wanted to take advantage of their opponents, so they could only see who would be the first.

Bowed.

While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Bai Quinn turned down the volume of the radio and said, "Randy, why don't you go contact WCW and see if you can cooperate with them."

Randy's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had already had this idea, but it was a bit unethical to break the contract and change jobs, and Bai Quinn was really busy, so he never mentioned it.

Randy said: "Eric Bishev has contacted me a long time ago, and he even said that he would pay the breach of contract fee."

How much is the penalty for breach of contract? One year's salary is more than 10,000 yuan per game, and there are twelve games per year. After all, Eric Bishev's WCW poaching of Bai Quinn only needs to pay a penalty of more than 100,000 yuan for breach of contract.

Kevin Nash and Razor Ramone, who just switched to WCW some time ago, each received a signing fee of 500,000 yuan. Although the salary per game is unknown, it is generally speculated in the industry that their worth has exceeded 20,000 yuan per game. If they appear frequently

Some, plus the commission from the sales of peripheral products, the two of them may earn an annual income of one million.

The only wrestler who had achieved this level of income before was Hulk Hogan, who also jumped ship from WWF to WCW.

Think about Edge and Christian, who met Quinn by chance on the subway. They had WCW contracts, but they didn't get a chance to play. They could only make guest appearances in ECW and WWF in non-television venues. WWF gave them

The weekly salary offered to the guest actor Agee was only 275 US dollars. He had to be on call and paid a few hundred dollars more for each fight. Agee worked in three companies and would probably not earn more than 50,000 US dollars after a year of hard work.

The competition between WWF and WCW has made the income gap between wrestlers wider and wider.

Bai Quinn said: "No, we are just talking with WCW. I will find a way to let Mike know that we have the intention to switch to WCW, but in fact, we still have to renew our contract with WWF."

Randy doesn't understand. Now everyone knows that WCW's Eric Bischoff is spending a lot of money in the industry to recruit talents in order to defeat WWF. The "rich second generation" WCW is backed by the media group of tycoon Ted Turner.

If you have more money than the ten old guys combined, why should you continue to cooperate with WWF?

Bai Quinn couldn't answer Randy's question directly. He couldn't tell Randy that he had traveled through time. There was a memory fragment that just recorded that the winner of several wrestling alliances in the future would be WWF, and even ECW, which currently ranks third.

His manager, Paul Heyman, went to work for the WWF.

So it can only be explained that he hopes to obtain WWF stocks when the contract is renewed. This is a long-term benefit, which is much better than receiving a salary.

WCW will not give equity incentives. Eric Bishev cannot make the decision for his boss to use equity to buy wrestlers. He cannot give a share of Turner Media, so he can only give it to Hulk Hogan.

With an annual salary of one million, he also signed a lot of favorable conditions.

Randy thought to himself, if it was for WWF stock, it would make sense. WWF's annual revenue is more than 100 million. Although the profit margin is not transparent, Randy has been in this industry for half his life, and he can estimate it silently.

As a rough estimate, Laomai's annual profit should be around 10 million.

If Lao Mai knew that the outside world had speculated like this, he would definitely scold her immediately.

Maybe he had this profit margin a few years ago, otherwise he wouldn't have the money to buy the Titan Sports building and the country manor.

But since the ratings war with WCW began, WWF said goodbye to profits.

In 1995, he was losing money and could barely survive with bank loans, but the Titan Sports office building was also mortgaged.

The momentum was good in the first half of 1996, but with several generals leaving recently, the company may suffer losses again in the second half of the year.

In a company with such operating conditions, there are still people who care about his shares!

Half an hour passed and Bai Quinn's Land Rover Discovery drove into East Harlem.

On an early summer night, in the dark alleys on the street corners, most of the homeless people have gone to bed, and occasionally they take advantage of the coolness to wander on the road. This is the most unsafe street in Manhattan. Since they have nothing, they are not afraid of losing anything.

Bai Quinn followed her habit and drove to a commercial building three blocks away from the public housing. The paid parking lot here was open to the public and was manned 24 hours a day.

Before turning into the parking lot, Bai Quinn noticed two old black men standing on the street across the street. Bai Quinn, who grew up in East Harlem, could tell at a glance that the two old black men were probably watching the wind. At this time,

In this section of road, there shouldn't be any old black people standing on the roadside in a daze.

Could there be another round of gang war?

In 1994, Nine Trey, a branch of the Bloods gang, had a fierce fight with the Brooklyn Crips gang that invaded East Harlem. Bai Quinn heard that at least six people died in street shootouts. The private vendetta was unknown to ordinary people.

, but it must be several times that.

The newly formed NT relied on being ruthless and resilient enough to repel the Crip Gang, became famous in one battle, and became the overlord of East Harlem.

Of course, the new NYPD Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik, who was deeply embarrassed after the incident, launched a large-scale manhunt in East Harlem, arrested many gang members, and sent most of them to prison on criminal charges.

In jail.

Since the danger of a gang fight could not be ruled out, Bai Quinn decided to park the car and go out from the other side, preferring to take a detour to ensure safety. This is how ordinary people living in East Harlem protect themselves.

Who knew that as soon as Bai Quinn parked the car, a minivan suddenly rushed over from the corner and lay in front of the Land Rover. Several old black men jumped out, each with a pistol in his hand, and four or five guns pointed at the car.

of white quinn and randy.

The leader, Lao Hei, covered his face with the red scarf of the Blood Gang. He held the gun horizontally in a classic way and pointed the gun up and down at Bai Quinn a few times to signal him to turn off the engine and get out of the car.

This was a car robber.

Bai Quinn immediately figured out the current situation. There was a warning outside, and the security guard of the parking lot had probably been bribed or threatened a long time ago.

Either he thought his Land Rover was valuable, so the group that originally came to steal the car turned out to rob it directly, or they had already planned to steal it and leave.

There are no luxury cars here, and luxury cars are not easy to sell. This Land Rover Discovery, which is popular among black men, is just right. It is both valuable and easy to sell.

There were many people and guns, so Bai Quinn and Randy had to get out of the car obediently and handed over the car keys as the guy in the red turban asked.

The red scarf took the key, put the pistol back into his waistband, got into the car first, and sat in the driver's seat.

The other gangsters, except for the driver of Xiaobian, were all joking and trying to squeeze into the Land Rover.

Two guys were arguing over the passenger seat at the other end of the car, and the last chubby black guy was leaning on tiptoes at the cab window, observing the interior of the Land Rover, and complimenting the boss at a very fast speed.

Then I tried to exchange for a chance to drive.

Five unprofessional robbers actually left Bai Quinn and Randy aside.

"Jimmy, change the channel and let me listen to the car's stereo... Oh, yes, this is it. This is De La Soul's song, Jimmy... Yo, yo..."

Fat Lao Hei's buttocks faced Bai Quinn, and the handle of the 1911 gun inserted into his lower waist was completely exposed in front of Bai Quinn. Bai Quinn felt that he could grab the gun with just one stretch of his hand.

Bai Quinn has an inexplicable confidence. He seems to be very familiar with guns. With the first-mover advantage, it is entirely possible for him to kill most of the five robbers before they react. The others will have to hide even if they don't run away, and then take care of them slowly.



Just as Bai Quinn was about to reach out to grab the gun, the fat black man lying on the car window suddenly started to giggle, not knowing whether he was amused by the radio DJ's words or for some other reason.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! I feel so good!"

Fat Lao Hei twisted his buttocks to the music.

As soon as Bai Quinn raised his hand, he felt his whole body go weak and lose his strength, and another memory fragment appeared at an inappropriate time.
