I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 76, Wu Jing: Listening to your words, I suddenly understand
Public opinion is fermenting and its status is rising.

Everyone knows there is such a "wild way" in the circle.
The box office performance of "Looking for a Gun" will also begin to radiate outward gradually.

Lu Chuan would gain both fame and fortune from this—after all, he was still the nominal director, and Jiang Wen was just using a pseudonym.
Everyone in the industry knows who the real director of this movie is.
At this time, Li Xuan, who was considered to be on the path of an "acting school", was happily going to the Wushu Athletes Association to get a pork stamp on his last certificate.

I am now a formal third-level martial arts athlete, and I am considered a "underachiever" among the third-level athletes.

After all, most young martial artists who specialize in this will get the title of third-level martial arts athlete when they are about 12 years old. Li Xuan, a 20-year-old martial arts athlete, is considered old.
When I arrived at the Wushu Athletes Association, the strong smell of sweat belonging to martial arts hit my nose.

I recall when I first went to the Wushu Association, the air was filled with the smell of cologne and perfume. It was nothing like the Wushu Athletes Association, where the smell of real martial artists was so stinky.

However, this Wushu Athletes Association is worthy of being a public institution under the General Administration of Sports.

Apart from the football department, other departments are still valuable.

"Is it really as magical as you say?"

"He's just that awesome. Don't disbelieve me, he even hung me up and beat me up."

At this time, in Beijing, at the Wushu Athletes Association, Ye Shaoxin was enthusiastically chatting with his classmates at the Shichahai Martial Arts School about things related to martial arts.

This classmate is called Wu Jing, a master of Tai Chi and Thirteen-style stick techniques.

Next to them were two elders, Wu Jinquan and Wu Bin, who were making Kung Fu tea. Wu Bin looked a little unhappy.

Ye Shaoxin really admires his grandfather's current appearance.

"Grandpa, do you feel unhappy that the young man you admire is actually a self-taught martial artist, not the heir of what you call a traditional martial arts family?"

"You little brat! You have no respect for your elders!"

"Alright, alright, don't bother with the younger generation." Wu Jinquan smiled and patted Ye Shaoxin on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that he was the actor who was really good at martial arts that my nephew mentioned."

Unexpectedly, he is also an actor.

This is very interesting. He and his son are following the same path - the path of an actor.

After watching "Young Zhang Sanfeng", he made up his mind to play a supporting role for his son.

Just like Hong Jingbao has a complete set of Hong family members to assist him, Cheng Shilong has a complete set of Cheng family members to assist him.

His own son Wu Jing also needs a set of "Wu family class".

This kid can do it.

Actor, a martial arts actor, and with a fairly clean background. Honestly, this kind of good family boy with no background is the most suitable to be trained as a team.
"Don't say there are no masters among the people. They may have a profound family background and a martial arts tradition."

"When I can meet that guy, I want to fight him."

At this time, Wu Jing was eager to try and fight with this young man whom even his father recognized.

"Forget it. If you fight with bare hands, others will bully you. If you fight with weapons, you will be bullying others." Wu Bin said to Wu Jing at this time. This kid was also trained by him.

In terms of weaponry, Wu Jing is at the Wuying level.

If I go unarmed, I can only be a second-level athlete at best.

As for Li Xuan, even Wu Bin, who despised "folk masters," had to admit, after watching Li Xuan and Wu Jinquan spar, that his boxing skills were probably at the level of a second-class athlete.
"Just give it a try. It's also a way to make new friends in the circle."

"Ouch! If you don't mention it, it will appear."

At this time, Ye Shaoxin saw the familiar face stamping and arguing at the front desk.

It was still the familiar recipe, and the familiar taste. When Li Xuan brought his third-level martial arts certificate to get it stamped, he encountered some things like "proving that your father is your father."

I can't do it, the household registration is just one page.
To me, "a page of household registration book" is an adjective, not an insult.

It was a bit hellish indeed.

"Okay, stop making things difficult for them. Every family has its own circumstances."

At this moment, Wu Jing stepped forward again and with a wave of his hand, the process was no longer necessary, and the regulations were no longer stuck. Everything went smoothly.
Li Xuan felt like complaining. It was indeed the millennium, a familiar taste. It was a familiar taste.

"Thank you."

Looking at Wu Jing in front of him, he was still very young. He had not yet become Wolf Warrior or Liu Peijia. He was a 28-year-old baby-faced young man.

"You're welcome. I'm tired of reading these rules." Wu Jing looked at the young man in front of him with some curiosity. She had been in the Beijing film and television industry for so long, but she had never seen him before.
As if appearing out of nowhere, Zhang Cuishan appears in "Young Zhang Sanfeng" as a martial arts character.

However, Wu Jing did not hesitate and asked directly.

"I heard that you are good at fighting?"

At this moment, Li Xuan subconsciously wanted to answer.

Can you fight? What’s the point of being able to fight? To get by in this world, you need your background (Yanzu’s face).

"I know a little bit, just a third-level martial arts athlete."

"Oh, I just helped you, now you do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Fight with me."

"it is good."

Li Xuan nodded. It was reasonable that Wu Jing had just helped him, so it was not too much to ask for just a fight with him.

Martial arts itself is not something that can be improved by studying behind closed doors.

It also needs to be beaten with fists.

Li Xuan also wanted to know how big the gap was between him and Wu Jing, an actor who started practicing martial arts at the age of 7 and had been on the path to becoming a martial arts actor since childhood.

At this time, a special area was set up in the training ground.

Wu Jing holds a high status in the Wushu Athletes Association. In addition to his father and master being highly respected martial arts coaches, his family background is also not bad - he is a descendant of the Zhengbai Banner.

A genuine bannerman, a Beijinger of extremely high purity.

Li Xuan thought that in the Beijing circle, the theory of "bloodline" was really everywhere. Wu Jing was a legitimate bannerman, and once he entered the circle, he was like the male lead in "Kung Fu Kid".

In fact, if we talk about circles, the Beijing circle is quite heavy on the theory of bloodline. Wang Su's circle is basically composed of intellectuals from the compound, and they can be regarded as the "new Beijing circle."

Wu Jing's "Beijing circle" should be regarded as the "old Beijing circle".

Basically, the protagonists are all "King Kong people".

For outsiders like you, reaching Wu Jun's level is already the limit because your bloodline is not high enough to reach a higher level.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan has seen too much and is determined not to be completely bound to the Beijing circle. I am not of Beijing descent and cannot play in your circle.

At most, you use your circle as a stepping stone and resource platform
While he was thinking, Li Xuan and Wu Jing had been fighting for some time.

This is basically a "literary fight".

It's a fight of tricks.

Li Xuan also used the Taizu Changquan, a move that was unique among all the people.

“It’s a trick I’ve never seen before, but it’s pretty powerful.”

Wu Jing used his fists to exchange moves with Li Xuan, and the more he did so, the more curious he became - coming from a family of martial arts, and a member of the Plain White Banner, there was no shortage of martial arts he hadn't seen, and no shortage of kung fu he hadn't heard of.

But it’s just as my father said.

This man's kung fu.

It's something I've never seen before.

Very new stuff.

It makes people happy to see the prey.

Wu Jing became more and more excited as the fight went on, and the verbal fight was about to turn into a physical fight, when he was abruptly stopped by a voice.

"Okay, stop fighting for now. This place will be used as an exam venue later."

"All right."

Although I am a little unwilling.

But Wu Jing was still very happy that she met a peer who seemed to be on equal terms with her.

"What do you think?"

"What can I say? He's slightly inferior to your son."

At this moment, Wu Bin paused and said, "He's much better than my useless grandson." Ye Shaoxin: "???"

Well, he is indeed much better than me. I can only be considered a stuntman, while he is a real martial arts athlete.

There is indeed a world of difference.

The reason why Wu Bin said that Li Xuan was not as good as Wu Jing was probably because he realized that Li seemed to only know one trick.

Proficient in a set of kung fu.

Specialization and specialized training are indeed in line with the characteristics of family kung fu.

There are fewer changes in routines.

“I want to give young people a chance.”

Wu Jinquan thought for a moment, and when he came to Li Xuan, he expressed his admiration without any reservation.

On behalf of the Beijing martial arts entertainment circle, I now invite you to join us.

Young man, I admire you very much.

But Li Xuan responded to the invitation with neither humility nor arrogance.

Middle-aged, but I don’t admire you.

He even rejected invitations from serious Beijing circles, let alone the old Beijing circles. After a few years, Wu Jing, the star they promoted themselves, became rich.

This old Beijing circle has no other highlights except that it is old.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, for now I want to pursue a career as an actor."

"Who says we martial artists don't count as actors?"

Wu Jinquan raised his eyebrows and said, "A martial artist is also a leading role, and he's the protagonist."

Strictly speaking, there are two paths for actors.

Wusheng, Huadan.

Martial arts, acting.

Indeed, this is also a form of performance for actors.

Even martial arts, the universal language of violence among mankind, can more easily transcend ethnic, regional, national and racial barriers and go overseas.

This is also why 80% of the Chinese actors who are doing well in Hollywood are martial arts actors.

But, it's pure martial arts.

I can’t be a movie star with a thousand faces!
We have to rely on winning awards to cure our illness.

Li Xuan knew his route, which was the "purity" route.

Martial arts, acting skills, I want it all.

This seems impossible to others.

But we have a hook.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wu, I'm actually more inclined to go the acting route."

"Then all your martial arts training would be in vain?"

"Not really." Li Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly at this time: "Let's go to the martial arts competition too."

Wu Jinquan looked at Li Xuan as if he were an idiot.

The little bit of admiration in his eyes disappeared.

Too arrogant.

This is the kind of person who becomes arrogant just because he has some achievements and talent.

How could two of them walk together?
However, in order to prevent young people from going astray, he still gave them earnest advice.

"You have to think clearly. The greatest advantage of martial arts actors is that we reap what we sow. As long as you practice, you will become stronger. But acting is different. Even if you practice diligently, there is no metric to quantify it."

Practice hard and you will naturally become stronger. You reap what you sow. This is kung fu.

As for acting, you work hard but don't see any rewards, because to some extent, it is illusory.

If you take both paths together.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

It's not going to work.

Let me tell you one thing, you only have twenty-four hours in a day, how can you improve two time-wasting things at the same time?
Dreaming!
"You said that even if we are martial arts actors, if we don't hone our acting skills, then we will only be playing ourselves in every play."

“What’s the point for the audience?”

At this time, Li Xuan looked at Wu Jinquan sincerely, and what he said was half true.

If you rely solely on martial arts without honing your acting skills, it would be disrespectful to the audience.

Li Xuan still rejected Lao Jingquan's invitation, but left his phone number as a mercenary.

If you have any questions, please call me. If you find a suitable role, you are welcome to contact us. I am good at both martial arts and acting.

Wu Jinquan and Wu Bin looked strange.

Wu Bin breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"That's what I said. Someone this arrogant and petty must be from a poor family. Only the children of a big family know how to be humble and know when to advance and retreat."

It seemed that Li Xuan's performance just now made Wu Bin agree with his inner thoughts: common people are not as good as children of aristocratic families.

Some things are innate. Even if you have a little talent, you will be trapped by your limited vision and cognition.

It feels comfortable.

Little did they know that these two didn’t see it.

After listening to your words, Mr. Wu suddenly realized something.

When Li Xuan went to get the certificate, he saw Wu Jing running over with burning eyes as if she had run out from the set of "Lan Yu".

Wow, Wu Jing now looks a hundred thousand times more terrifying than when he was fighting just now.

"Brother, a kindred spirit! What you just said hit me right in the heart."

Your fists and your words.

It hit me right in the heart.

"I was just talking nonsense."

“No, actually I’m very confused.”

This young man from the old Beijing circle is also confused. This guy who debuted as the leading actor and has abundant resources, the Zhengbai Banner, is also confused.

He is a warrior and an actor.

His family and circle have provided him with a lot of resources, and his last film "Shaolin Martial King" was only aired not long ago.

Although this TV series had a terrible viewership rating of 0.02, he can still play the leading role in his next work.

The resources are there, but the elders in the circle told him.

You just need to practice boxing well in your current situation and leave everything to kung fu.

This is what the audience sees.

But is this really the case?

The 0.02 ratings seemed to be telling Wu Jing.

The road is wrong
Li Xuan's words just now made him suddenly enlightened and dispelled his confusion.

We are actors.

If you don't have acting skills and just keep playing "yourself" on the screen, you might as well go to the flyover to perform.

A self-proclaimed shit actor!
This is not an actor.
