Entertainment Era: My Good Sister Is All Over the World

Head coach Wu Bin arrived at the entrance and indeed saw a group of young people.

The only person who looked a bit older was bald.

"Hello Coach Wu, I'm Wu Tianming from Xi'an Film Studio!"

Sure enough, the bald man was in charge of the negotiations. He stepped forward and introduced the people to Wu Bin: "These two are Director Xu Xiaoming from Hong Kong's [Civilized People Film Company] and Comrade Huang Wenbin, a planner from Beijing Film Studio. Together with myself, we are all the main people in charge of this co-production, 'The Cotton Robe'."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Wu Bin had never heard of any of these people, but he still shouted and shook Wu Tianming's hand: "Welcome, welcome! I am Wu Bin, the head coach of the Yanjing Wushu Team. Please come in, everyone."

Huang Wenbin and his group entered the stadium.

There were already quite a few martial arts athletes warming up inside. When they saw Huang Wenbin and his group come in, they couldn't help but look over.

"Another film crew is here to cast actors?"

"Is our martial arts team turning into an actor training camp?"

"Who can blame us for having such awesome martial arts!"

"This time it should be my turn!"

"..."

Wu Bin was completely bewildered by what he was hearing.

Because several dramas came to select people in a row, and all the top talents were taken away, although it did promote martial arts a lot, it also made the young team members start to become restless and impatient.

"What's all the shouting about!" Wu Bin snapped, glaring at the young team members. "Assemble! Don't let our Hong Kong compatriots laugh at us!"

The team members immediately assembled and stood in two rows.

"And this is...?"

Wu Bin introduced the names of the Yanjing team members and their specialties to Huang Wenbin and others one by one.

It can only be said that after the selection process by the two production teams, the most promising talents were all snatched up.

"This is Huang Qiuyan, who is skilled in snake fist and swordsmanship," Wu Bin said, pointing to a beautiful young woman with a touch of heroism.

Huang Wenbin certainly knew her; she was Li Lianjie's first wife and had acted in many movies.

She does fit the image and temperament of the female lead in "The Cotton Robe" quite well; I can reserve her now.

"Who are those people over there?" Xu Xiaoming asked, noticing a few others still practicing in the distance.

Wu Bin explained, "They are not from our Yanjing team. They are from other provincial teams who came to borrow the venue for training in preparation for next year's martial arts competition."

"Could you ask them to come over here for a moment?" Huang Wenbin asked.

Wu Bin immediately called out loudly, "Changjun, Xinxin... come here for a moment."

The group of people over there immediately stopped what they were doing and slowly walked in.

"Let me introduce you," Wu Bin said with a smile, pointing to the dashing young man walking in front. "This is Zhao Changjun, only 19 years old this year, from the Shaanxi Wushu Team. He started competing in 72, and he's definitely a champion prospect!"

Huang Wenbin thought that Zhao Changjun was more than just a potential champion. Starting in 1978, Zhao Changjun began his path to domination, winning the "Individual All-Around Champion" in domestic and international martial arts competitions ten times in a row, winning 54 gold medals. He was known as the "Ever-Victorious General" in the martial arts world, and was also the only person to achieve "ten consecutive championships" and the record holder for gold medals in martial arts competitions.

His foray into film came in 1980 when the crew of "The Mysterious Buddha" invited him to record martial arts instruction. Later, he also began to act in films, most notably as Sima Jian, the protagonist in "Wudang," and Yuan Shikai in "The First Sword of China." His starring role in the TV series "The Legend of Hai Deng" was also quite popular for a while.

"Hello, I am Zhao Changjun." Zhao Changjun greeted them with a generous cupped-hand salute.

Xu Xiaoming carefully examined Zhao Changjun, becoming increasingly satisfied with his assessment. He then said, "Mr. Zhao, could you please demonstrate your best skill?"

"Kung Fu?" Zhao Changjun was taken aback. He hadn't heard the term before, but he guessed it referred to martial arts, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Changjun, known as the "Master of Fist, Knife, and Staff," casually picked up a staff and walked to the center of the field.

His moves were indeed elegant and beautiful, incredibly free and natural, as if they were a perfect match.

As Xu Xiaoming watched, he couldn't help but applaud: "Truly impressive! The staff techniques practiced in Hong Kong are mostly Southern Fist. While their movements are short and fast, they also appear somewhat rushed and not very aesthetically pleasing. Your staff techniques, however, are expansive and powerful, the movements resembling the mighty Yangtze River flowing endlessly—truly extraordinary!"

"You flatter me!" Zhao Changjun put away the stick, smiled faintly, and remained very composed.

Wu Bin was quite satisfied. In fact, he wanted to recruit Zhao Changjun to the BJ team as a coach, but he didn't know how to bring it up with Ma Zhenbang, the leader of the Shaanxi team.

"That girl over there is Lin Quan, from Guangdong, also 19 years old." Wu Bin then pointed to a pretty girl and introduced her: "She is skilled in Southern Fist swordsmanship and won the national women's Southern Fist championship."

Lin Quan smiled sweetly and said to the group, "I'm sorry you all found my achievements laughable."

Huang Wenbin nodded to himself. This girl was the female lead in the 1983 version of "Wudang". She was good at martial arts and had a good appearance. She could be used.

"As for this one," Wu Bin said, pointing to a young man with slightly unconventional features, "his name is Xiong Xinxin, and he's only 17 years old. He's from the Guangxi Wushu Team, and he's known as invincible throughout Guangxi, having won provincial championships countless times. Now he wants to aim for the national championship, so he's here for special training."

Cao Rong curled his lip and muttered in Cantonese, "Looking like that, he probably doesn't have any real skills."

Xiong Xinxin is from Guangxi and speaks Cantonese, so she naturally understands Cao Rong's words. She frowned, pointed at Cao Rong, and shouted, "What did you say?!"

"It's nothing, I was just talking to myself, and it didn't work." Cao Rong was a little surprised, but he didn't want to admit defeat.

Xu Xiaoming slapped Cao Rong: "Apologize to them!"

"I'm sorry!" Cao Rong had no choice but to lower his head and admit his mistake, but there was clearly some resentment in his eyes.

Wu Bin frowned slightly, but still advised from the side, "Xin Xin, don't take it to heart, it was just a joke."

Huang Wenbin is very familiar with Xiong Xinxin. Before time travel, he watched a lot of Li Lianjie's Wong Fei-hung series movies. Besides Wong Fei-hung, the one he remembers most is Xiong Xinxin, who played Ghost Foot Seven.

"How's your legwork?" Huang Wenbin asked bluntly.

Xiong Xinxin paused for a moment, then replied, "It's alright."

"Could you perform for me?" Xu Xiaoming then asked.

Xiong Xinxin glanced at Wu Bin, then nodded: "Okay."

As he spoke, he demonstrated a set of boxing techniques that focused primarily on legwork. It was still a typical Southern style, with low kicks and an emphasis on defense and counter-attack.

"Do you know any Northern-style leg techniques?" Huang Wenbin asked in turn.

Xiong Xinxin didn't know what Huang Wenbin meant by asking that question. In the martial arts team, what you want to train and what you can train is not up to you. You have to listen to the coach.

"It's okay, just tell me," Wu Bin said to Xiong Xinxin with a smile.

Xiong Xinxin replied, "I know a little, but I'm not very good at it."

"I have some ideas about leg techniques, but I haven't practiced martial arts, so I can't demonstrate them."

Huang Wenbin recalled the leg techniques of Ghost Foot Seven from the movie in his mind, then demonstrated a kick in the style: "Could you execute that kind of kick?"

After he finished gesturing, everyone around him was stunned.

These people were all martial arts experts. They could tell that Huang Wenbin had no martial arts background, but his physical fitness was excellent, and the leg techniques he used were surprisingly good, completely different from existing routines, which was quite unbelievable.

Many martial arts routines are refined and standardized by martial arts instructors, making significant innovation difficult. This is why Yu Chenghui's creation of the two-handed sword is so groundbreaking.

Wu Bin excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Huang Wenbin's hand: "Where did you learn this leg technique?"

"Ah, I haven't studied it," Huang Wenbin quickly explained. "I just figured it out by myself when I was bored, it's just a few moves."

"What a pity! If you had started learning martial arts ten years earlier, you would definitely be a great talent now, winning the championship would be a piece of cake!"

Wu Bin casually touched Huang Wenbin's arms, waist, and legs, and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"Coach Wu, you flatter me. I don't have much talent for martial arts," Huang Wenbin said with a smile, waving his hand. "I just like to talk about it on paper."

Xu Xiaoming and Huang Wenbin selected a few more martial arts athletes and found them to be quite good.

Although he can't compare to top-tier martial arts athletes like Jet Li, he's good enough for making movies.

"Hey, there's another person over there, why isn't he coming over?" Xu Xiaoming suddenly noticed that in the corner of the venue, there was a young man practicing a horse stance, ignoring what was happening here.

Huang Wenbin glanced at it and immediately laughed: Isn't this the younger version of Master Ye? How come he's so lame?

Wu Bin glanced at him and explained, "He's not from the martial arts team. He's the son of a friend of mine, named Zhen Zidan. He's too mischievous, so his family sent him here to train him. His basic skills are a bit weak, so I asked Changjun to mentor him."

Zhao Changjun nodded: "Actually, he has excellent physical fitness, but he likes to slack off and is also a bit arrogant."

"Danny, come here for a second!" Wu Bin shouted at the young man.

Zhen Zidan had actually noticed the commotion earlier, but she was a little resentful, so she deliberately didn't go over.

When the first two production teams came to select actors, he felt that he was no worse than anyone else, so why didn't those two production teams choose him!

Now another film crew is casting actors, and he believes that if the director of this crew has eyes, he should be able to see that he is the most capable among them.

He kept waiting, but after Zhao Changjun performed a set of stick techniques and that ugly Xiong Xinxin showed off her leg techniques, no one paid any attention to him. He felt extremely unbalanced.

Ever since watching Bruce Lee's movies, he has always wanted to make movies and become a big star.

Unfortunately, he lacks a discerning mentor who can recognize his talent.

But asking him to take the initiative to perform in front of others and then ask for a role is something his pride simply can't accept.

If someone takes the initiative to get him involved in making a movie, he's willing to acknowledge that person as his godfather!

Zhen Zidan thought to herself.

"Hey, do you want to make movies?"

Just then, a voice rang in his ear: "I can make you the lead actor, and even a big star. Are you in?"

Zhen Zidan raised her head hopefully, only to see a young man who was not much older than her.

"what?"
