Chapter 218 Keira Knightley
Morning, Tower of London Hotel, Room B25.
Sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light in the room becomes brighter. The sound of the Thames River downstairs and the honking of cruise ships also flow into the room with the sunlight.
While having breakfast, Link sat in front of the window and read today's newspaper.
The British newspapers such as The Times, The Sun and The Daily Mail all reported the news that he came to London to participate in the competition, as well as his answers at the press conference yesterday.
Serious newspapers such as "The Guardian" basically follow his original words when reporting, and conduct in-depth analysis and comments.
For example, in an interview yesterday, a reporter from The Guardian mentioned that he said in September last year that he would defeat all boxers of the same level within 100 seconds, and asked him if he would still adhere to this time limit when he competes with Carl French. ?
Link’s answer was the same as his reply to reporters before participating in the WBA boxing title defense battle. He focused on the game itself and tried to give everyone a wonderful game without forcing a quick victory.
When the "Guardian" reporter reported, he said that he was going to change his tactics and no longer use 'blitzkrieg' to deal with Franche, but he also reminded Franche that Link is a master tactician, and this sentence may also be a smoke bomb. .
Entertainment newspapers such as "The Sun" have relatively ambiguous titles when reporting.
There is a title saying ‘Link claimed to admire Miss Keira Knightley and publicly expressed his desire to date a British lady’.
This is obviously a stitching together of his first answer and his second answer.
Although it is not made up randomly, it will arouse people's imagination. After reading it, readers will think that he wants to pursue Keira Knightley.
There are also news headlines saying, ‘Emma and Link flew to London one after another, rekindling their old relationship? ’
This news connects the news that Link arrived in London yesterday with the news that Emma returned to London three days ago.
In addition, he said at the press conference that he would consider getting together with Emma, Daniel, and Robert. When the media reported, they deliberately replaced 'Daniel' and 'Robert' with 'etc.' to make it appear that he and Emma were in a relationship. A date.
These half-truths and half-false news are scandals fabricated by the entertainment media.
If the media continues to follow up, evidence of his contact with Keira Knightley and Emma Watson will be captured.
These scandals will become "big melons".
There are also media reports that he claims to be a fan of Adele, praising that Adele will become a great singer, and that he claims to learn acting from Christian Bale.
These news are using him to promote local British stars, and the British people also like to see this kind of news.
Of course, this is also his purpose, to use these stars to win the favor of the British people and increase his popularity and market in the British Isles, which is also called popularity.
However, for Keira Knightley, Bell, and Adele, being exposed to a top celebrity like him will also increase a lot of exposure, which is a mutually beneficial thing.
“Boss, it’s time to go.”
While reading the newspaper, Anna knocked on the door and said.
“Let’s go!”
Link put on a casual suit and followed Anna to visit the British Boxing Museum and exchange experiences with a group of teenage boxing apprentices.
Then we went to Kensington Park in the West End to attend the Dior new product fashion conference.
He is the global spokesperson for Dior fashion. The brand heard that he was in London and invited him to watch the show.
Link did not refuse.
When we arrived at the scene, what was more embarrassing was that Keira Knightley was also there.
The other person was wearing a blue Dior dress, standing on the grass, holding a glass of champagne in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
Keira Knightley is not very young either. She is 24 years old this year. She became famous in 2003 with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies. She also starred in "Pride and Prejudice", "Atonement", "The Duchess", "The Imitation Game" and "Anna Callie". Nina" etc.
Her appearance is not very beautiful, and her figure is not hot, but her acting skills are good. She has the temperament of a British woman, fresh and elegant, and a little sexy. She looks very different from American girls.
“Hi Miss Knightley, nice to see you here!”
Link took the initiative to greet him.
“Hi, Mr. Baker, I’m glad to meet you too, and thank you for the compliment in the media yesterday. It’s my honor.”
Keira Knightley raised her champagne glass and smiled.
"What I said is true. I am a fan of You. I have watched "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice". They are really great. Your performance makes the movie characters more charming."
Link praised.
Keira Knightley pursed her upper lip and smiled slightly, holding her hair as she walked and said: "I am also a fan of yours. "Seeyou Again", "Givemereason" and "Believer" are all great songs."
Link smiled softly. He didn’t know if the other party was exchanging compliments in business, but it felt good to be praised by a star in person.
“Hey Link, Keira!”
Just a few steps away, Adele, wearing a black lace dress, waved to him from a distance and said with a smile: "I didn't disturb your date, did I?"
"No!"
Link smiled lightly and stepped forward to hug Adele.
Adele is one year older than him, with a plump and chubby figure, long false eyelashes on her eyes, and exquisite makeup. After she lost weight, she became a very beautiful girl, somewhat similar to Lana. .
“Link, it’s a pity that you are too slim. If you were fatter, I would definitely go on a date with you.”
Adele took his arm and compared with him who was thicker. Link's arms were full of muscles, so he was naturally stronger than her.
“Really? I could add a few dozen pounds and it wouldn’t be a problem at all.”
“Okay, when you get to three hundred pounds, we’ll go on a date.”
Adele patted him on the shoulder and laughed. Keira Knightley watched the two joking from the side, her eyes focused more on Link.
Link is an Olympic champion, a boxing champion, and a popular singer. Each of them is a very famous name, and he is also more famous than her in the entertainment industry.
Originally, the two of them had no contact, but when they got up in the morning, they saw their scandal online.
It feels amazing!
The three of them met and chatted for a while, then went to the lawn area to watch an outdoor fashion show.
After the event, Link went to BBC TV station without stopping to participate in a program interview.
In order to dig out more material from him, a top figure in the boxing and music circles, BBC TV planned a boxing interview show and specially invited former British boxing champion Lennox Lewis to the recording site.
The two talked about the current situation of American boxing and British boxing. Under the guidance of the host, they also commented on some of the top boxers in the current boxing world.
Lewis is a retired boxer and has no scruples when speaking.
It is said that the strength of boxers today is much worse than before. More people rely on height, weight, and arm length advantages, while boxers born in the 1970s and 1980s rely more on boxing techniques and tactics.
Hence why boxing matches are not as exciting as they used to be.
Link also agrees with his opinion, but will not say it out loud. He is still competing in the boxing ring. He is trying to undermine himself by saying that the current boxing matches are not as good as before.
He said that in the current Internet era, the diversification of entertainment forms and the development of events such as WWE and UFC have had a serious impact on the boxing industry.
This influence will also extend to the aesthetics of the audience. In the past, audiences would study boxing tactics and rules before watching a boxing match. Many viewers even knew more about boxing than the boxers. This was the rule of thumb.
Audiences who know how to watch the boxing will roar with excitement when they see the boxers’ superb techniques and tactics.
It’s different now.
There are so many fun things to do now.
Audiences do not have the time or energy to understand a sport in depth, especially a niche sport. They watch boxing matches more to watch the excitement.
So those boxers who are tall, strong, strong, and handsome will get more attention, such as Valuev, Pacquiao, and De La Hoya.
But this does not mean that the three of them have no strength. According to the level of these three people, they will still be top boxers in the 1980s.
Lewis heard his words and glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect that his knowledge and understanding of the boxing industry would be so deep.
“Link, you will be competing against Carl French tomorrow, what do you think of him?”
Lennox Lewis asked.
When Lewis didn't retire, he had dreadlocks, was tall and strong, and looked very difficult to mess with.
Now with short hair and a suit, he looks more like a British gentleman.
At the same time, he is also the boss of a large brand underwear company, with a net worth of hundreds of millions of pounds.
“There is no doubt that Carl is a strong opponent!”
Link said with certainty, "I watched his match with Jean Pascal last year. His fists were very fierce and his speed was very flexible. What I admire most is his willpower. He never retreats from a fight to the death. He is like an iron-blooded warrior." Warrior."
In December last year, the WBC boxing title fight was between Carl French and Jean Pascal.
That match was very bloody. Carl was beaten by his opponent so much that his eardrum was perforated and his ribs were broken. However, he refused to give up and fought through the injury. He eventually won the WBC gold belt. Pascal was also beaten with a broken eyebrow bone by his heavy punch. Drenched with blood.
“Mr. Baker, you seem to admire Karl very much. Are you confident that you can defeat him?”
host Alan Campbell asked.
“Yeah, Carl is pretty good, but I’m better.”
Link shook his fist.
“What if you lose? Have you ever thought you would lose?”
Lewis grinned.
“I have thought about it, so during the game, I will play more actively and try not to let such bad things happen.”
Link said with a smile.
“Well, hopefully it will be a good game tomorrow.”
Lewis said, holding out his fist.
"Most definitely."
Link clenched his fist and touched him.
Pap, pah, pah!
The audience applauded and cheered.
After the interview, Link returned to the business car.
‘Harry Potter’ Daniel and ‘Golden Retriever’ Robert called one after another and asked him when he would arrive. Link said immediately and asked Bob to drive to Hampton Street where Daniel lived.
—
As he drove to Hampton Avenue, reporter Gary quickly drove to follow. On the way, he received a call from Charlotte, who told him that "Emma has gone out, and the destination is temporarily unknown."
After hearing the news, Gary was overjoyed. After waiting for a day, he finally caught a big fish.
He quickly notified Officer Ryder and Biggs, asking them to come and join him. With more people, they would be more confident.
