## History

### Background

The WUXIA Radio Station operates as an Administration, documenting bounties and the status of assassins under the High Table, in addition to acting as a regular radio station.

### *John Wick: Chapter 4*

The DJ was contacted by the Marquis de Gramont shortly before the Sacré-Cœur duel and was asked to relay a special request from a "secret admirer". The radio station broadcasted the location of John Wick and the current bounty on his head, in addition to providing the Marquis with progress updates. John is first spotted at the 7th arrondissement, however, the assassins hunting John cannot bring him down. The DJ then announces that John is approaching the Arc de Triomphe, before informing the Marquis of his operatives' failure. After the Marquis increases the bounty to $40 million, the DJ announces that John is nearing the church, and the window to kill him is dwindling.

## Transcript

*"All right, now. For all you boppers out there in the City of Lights, for all you street people with an ear for the action, to all my loyal listeners who know the beat of the street, tonight is your chance to make some beautiful music. I've been asked to relay a special request from a secret admirer. It seems there's a thorn in our little slice of paradise. A wicked man from the Big Apple is making a beeline to our sacred heart. We are putting the call out to deliver your hardest beats to this man in black. If you want the prize, you must finish before sunrise. This golden oldie, and I do mean golden hit, goes out to you, Mr. Wick. And remember, there is nowhere to run."*

*"I want to thank you all for listening to WUXIA, the place for all your entertainment and informational needs. Good hunting."*

*"Good news, boppers. We have a sighting. Our man in black has been spotted in the Septième Arrondissement. I think it's high time we paint him red."*

*"It seems like our friends at the guild dropped the ball, and now it's rolling to the Arc de Triomphe. Let's see who picks it up."*

*"Come on now, people. We're gonna have to do a lot better. Now, who's gonna be our big winner?"*

*"A little traffic update. I'm hearing the boys in black couldn't get it done. Our wicked friend is on the move again. He's headed your way, my listeners of the 8th."*

*"Good news, boppers. The lottery just went up."*

*"To all you boppers still sitting on the side, Mr. Wick has the church in sight. We are almost out of time. Last chance to win the prize before Mr. Wick's last sunrise. So, who out there is going to climb those 222 steps? Good luck."*

## Trivia

* The radio station's name "WUXIA" is a tribute to the WUXIA genre of Chinese film, typically depicting martial arts.
* The DJ refers to listeners as "boppers". This reference to the Boppers featured in the 1979 film, *The Warriors.*
* The DJ refers to John Wick as "A wicked man from the Big Apple". The Big Apple is a nickname for New York City, where John frequently operated.
* The DJ addresses "street people with an ear for the action". This could imply that civilians are aware of the assassins operating around them, but choose not to intervene. This is also further evidenced by the fact that the radio station is publicly accessible, as Mr. Nobody is seen tuning into WUXIA inside his car, and Caine and Winston are seen listening from an old radio.
* The radio station's intro music is composed by Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard. The track's name is Paris Radio Intro, available on the *John Wick: Chapter 4* Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
