Chapter 157 Sneak attack!
There is an old saying in the martial arts world that boxers are afraid of young men and sticks are afraid of old men.
The reason for this saying is because the strength of the fist depends on the strength of the muscles and bones.
As for the strength of the stick technique, experience and skill can make up for the lack of strength.
However, this statement is only for ordinary elderly people.
Hong Jinbao was born in 1949, and in 2003, he was already 54 years old.
At this age, most people can already say that "people no longer use their muscles and bones as their strength", and their strength and speed have already weakened significantly.
But he is different!
Yuan Hua led Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing to Xingye's Xinghui Film and Television office, and met his senior brother Hong Jinbao in the corridor.
From the moment they entered the door, the three of them were led by Yuan Hua, Zhang Yuan on the right, Wu Jing on the left, and the two of them followed behind their senior.
After Yuan Hua greeted Hong Jinbao and showed that both young men knew kung fu, the old slick man quietly stepped back and moved aside.
As soon as he leaves, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing can face Hong Jinbao directly.
Why did Yuan Hua do this?
Because they grew up together, he knows this senior brother’s temperament very well!
The eldest brother is like his father. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When the master is away, it is Hong Jinbao who "disciplines" the other brothers with a cane.
And what this senior brother loves to do the most is just two words.
Sneak attack!
When everyone steps forward, he goes around behind you and kicks you towards the back of your knee.
When you fall, you will be chewing mud, and you will be hit by a few canes, because if you fall, it means that the horse's steps are not stable.
Everyone sat in rows on the bench, holding bowls to eat. When no one else noticed, he suddenly stood up, the bench tilted, people turned over, and their rice bowls fell to the ground. He also laughed at you for being unstable.
Only under such "torture" could the Seven Little Fortunes prosper after leaving society.
Especially Chenglong, the most outstanding among the Seven Little Fortunes, was beaten by his senior brother almost every day.
But don’t tell me, they have been fighting each other since childhood, but they have the best relationship.
While filming "Plan A", there was a famous scene where Chenglong was about to jump from the bell tower.
For several days, Uncle Long felt panicked and did not dare to try, for fear of an accident.
In the end, I simply asked Hong Jinbao to direct this scene.
Eldest brother said everything is OK, just dance, I will do everything, so Chenglong danced without any scruples.
This kind of trust would never exist without the friendship of classmates that has been honed over many years.
So when Yuan Hua saw his senior brother smiling innocently at the two young people, he understood.
Big Brother is going to launch a sneak attack again!
Wu Jing smiled stupidly at Hong Jinbao and didn't pay attention.
But Zhang Yuan discovered Yuan Hua's abnormality and became vigilant.
But before he could react, Hong Jinbao in front of him had already changed his appearance.
The Maitreya Maitreya who was kind just now seems to have been transformed into a demon, with a fierce face and glaring eyes!
Whoo!
Two blasts of air pierced the air, and Yuan Long's fists were like two wild dragons out to sea, rushing towards the faces of Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing.
Don’t you know Kung Fu?
Well, let me find out your truth!
There are countless fat people in the world, but fat people as flexible as Hong Jinbao are rare in the world.
Back to the beginning, I am afraid of young men with punches, and I am afraid of old men with sticks.
A few years later, there was a movie called "The Handsome Man" in which Wu Jing played Luo Tianhong, a thug with a blue head and a head that looked like a blue-headed macaw from a distance.
In that drama, Wu Jing held a long knife and Hong Jinbao held a wooden stick. The two fought for several rounds.
Wu Jing once mentioned in the interview that in that scene, Hong Jinbao’s stick skills were so fast that he had a hard time blocking them.
You know, the two of them are almost thirty years apart.
Zhang Yuan also knows stick skills, and he is not bad at it. At least he has received 100% praise from Jia Jingwen and Cheng Hao.
Now that the fist was in front of him, Zhang Yuan realized that this nimble fat man was faster than just his stick skills.
That boxing technique is not weak at all.
Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?
Hey, he saw it today!
Let’s talk about Wu Jing first. This kid has been trained since childhood. Although he does not have the title of Wuying level, he is no weaker than Wuying level in real fighting.
This guy reacted very quickly and was obviously not prepared at all, but halfway through the opponent's punch, he subconsciously turned his head to avoid the attack.
At the same time, he also raised his arms and crossed them in front of him in a defensive posture.
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
Hong Jinbao's fist hit Wu Jing's arms head-on, and the majestic force actually knocked the opponent back several steps.
Wu was startled and took four or five steps back before tensing up his muscles and grabbing the ground with his feet to stabilize his body.
"Zhang Yuan, are you okay?"
Wu Jing is a person worth making friends with. After he stabilized himself, his first reaction was to pay attention to the brothers who came together.
He turned sideways and looked to the side... No one was there?
Oh, that’s right.
His kung fu is far inferior to mine. I was knocked back four or five steps, but he must have been more than capable.
So I turned my head and looked back... There was still no one there.
Wu Jing glanced up and down, left and right, but still did not find Zhang Yuan.
Then where is he?
The time goes back to three seconds ago.
Zhang Yuanhua and Yuan Hua behaved strangely, so they were more careful, so they noticed Hong Jinbao's fist earlier than Wu Jing.
Defend as hard as Wu Jing?
He didn't have the confidence, and he didn't want to be punched and hurt.
So in his first reaction, he did not turn around and dodge, because the punch was too fast. By the time his waist exerted force, he had already been hit.
He simply relaxed his shoulders, and relaxed them all the way down his shoulders and spine, until he suddenly tightened them at his waist.
As soon as his shoulders relaxed, the whole person fell backwards.
The elder brother's fist brushed Zhang Yuan's chin and almost touched the tip of his nose.
If it had been half a second later, he would have received a solid punch in his Adam's apple, and he might not be able to breathe for a long time, let alone speak.
Zhang Yuan's back slammed to the ground, but at the moment when he was about to fall, he relied on the strength of his waist to stop the downward trend of his upper body.
The whole person made a standard "iron horse bridge".
This action is a great test of waist strength and overall balance. Obviously, Zhang Yuan, who has not undergone special training, cannot last long.
But he didn't plan to last long. He raised his arms suddenly, holding them with one hand and holding them with the other. From bottom to top, he caught Hong Jinbao's forearm that had passed over his head, and clamped it firmly, using the other's strength to stabilize his body.
Hong Jinbao fired his bow from left to right, originally confident.
“My punch has taken twenty years of effort, can you guys stop it!”
But he didn't expect that one of his punches used up all his strength, but achieved nothing and did not hit the opponent.
Not only that, I also felt my arms heavy. I lowered my head and found that Zhang Yuan was like the hozen in Mount Emei, treating his arms as tree branches and hanging them tightly underneath.
Hong Jinbao was startled and moved his arms forward. Zhang Yuan also stood up and stood up straight again.
The eldest brother raised his eyes and glanced up and down at him, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and thought to himself.
“His reaction speed is faster than Wu Jing!”
When Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing entered the door, he was on the right and Wu Jing was on the left.
The two were face to face with Hong Jinbao. The opponent punched out both fists. The one that hit Wu Jing was his right fist, while the one he received was his left fist.
Hong Jinbao, like ordinary people, is right-handed, so his fists hitting Wu Jing were faster and more powerful.
Of course, this is also in line with his prediction.
After all, he recognized Wu Jing and knew that Wu Jing was good at martial arts.
But he didn't recognize Zhang Yuan, and he didn't know how capable he was. It would be safer to strike lightly.
Now that you try it, you can get a taste of it.
Wu Jing’s reaction was standard and not unusual.
What’s interesting is Zhang Yuan’s reaction.
As the saying goes, the punch is like the person, Zhang Yuan chose to avoid it instead of taking it hard, showing his agility and intelligence.
Especially compared with Wu Jing, who was hard-hitting by Tie Hanhan, he was even more at ease.
In fact, Zhang Yuan was also lucky. He noticed the strangeness in Yuan Hua's expression and behavior in advance. In addition, the opponent's left fist was a slower one, so he could dodge it perfectly.
But in Hong Jinbao's eyes it was different.
The two young men, faced with his attack, gave two different solutions.
This not only represents the level of kung fu, but also reflects temperament and habits.
"Wu Jing's reaction is very common at his age. With his young body and strong bones, he is very confident."
"That kid is different. He is very skating and is obviously better at using his brain."
"Hmph, interesting."
His punch was the first level of the audition.
If you can't bear this punch, even if it was brought by your junior brother Yuan Hua, please go back home.
At this time, Wu Jing noticed Zhang Yuan's actions and walked forward blankly.
"You're pretty good at practicing Iron Horse Bridge. Your waist is strong enough."
Wu Jing touched his chin and thought, could this be the reason why he is more popular with women?
Hong Jinbao stopped his momentum and looked at Yuan Hua, who grinned as if to say something.
How about it? The people I brought here are not bad.
"Okay, not bad, let's go and sit inside."
At this moment, Hong Jinbao really put on a smile and invited the three of them inside.
The audition here is quite special, because even the script has not been completely finalized, let alone the characters, there are only a few rough characters.
The screenwriter of this film is really tired. The inspiration for the whole story comes from Xingye's own childhood experience.
Having admired Bruce Lee since childhood, he accidentally discovered that an ordinary-dressed old man next door turned out to be a martial arts master.
From then on, he understood the truth that the great hermits are hidden in the city, and the masters are among the people.
But what troubles the screenwriter is that precisely because the idea for this story came from Mr. Xing himself, the script was entirely dictated by him.
Several screenwriters worked hard for more than a year before putting together an outline piecemeal.
"The only role that suits you right now is Coolie Qiang."
During the break, Hong Jinbao looked at the character form and then said.
Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing looked at each other.
"Are we two going to compete for a role?" Wu was surprised.
"Of course not." The eldest brother waved his hand: "You two are not the only ones who want this role."
Wu Jing took a deep breath, feeling quite stressed.
Zhang Yuan was different, still looking calm.
"Huh, I'm in a good mood." Hong Jinbao glanced at him and continued.
“This is Xingzi’s movie. Do you know that a dozen people are competing for one role?”
“If you can’t get Coolie Strong, then there will only be other small roles with few roles, such as Gangster thugs and the like."
"But these characters don't even have names."
"And you should also know that the money given by Xingzi..." At this point, Hong Jinbao was quite excited. He snorted dissatisfiedly.
In the TV drama industry, there are two stingy actors, Zhang Jizhong and Qiong Yao. When it comes to the film and television industry, Stephen Chow is no less stingy.
Zhang Yuan knew that when filming "Shaolin Football", the fat boy Cong who co-starred with Star in the film was Lin Zicong. His total salary was only 15,000.
Even in "Kung Fu", his salary did not exceed 30,000.
But this person was praised by Zhou Xingzhi, no matter how little he was given.
But as the main villain in the film, Liang Xiaolong, who plays the role of Fire Cloud Evil God, is a veteran who has been famous for a long time.
As a result, after filming a movie, the salary is only 500,000 yuan.
This is only given to No. 1, so you can imagine how much other actors can only get.
But just like Zhang Jizhong and Qiong Yao, actors make their films for the sake of fame, because with fame, they will make a lot of money in the future.
"I will give you a script, prepare it."
After saying that, Hong Jinbao took Yuan Hua to other places to discuss in detail.
"We must take it, we must take it!" Wu Jing patted his cheek hard and began to inject chicken blood.
“Hey, why aren’t you nervous?” Wu was surprised to see that he was still there and asked in confusion.
"It's useless to be nervous. We can't get into Master Xing's crew if we want to."
Why isn't Zhang Yuan anxious?
The role of Coolie Qiang has very high requirements for fighting scenes. In this aspect alone, he cannot compare to Wu Jing, not to mention that there are countless masters who covet him.
Therefore, his goal has never been to be strong as a coolie!
