Huayu: King of Kung Fu

Girls of this era grew up watching Qiong Yao dramas, and they value freedom and prioritize true love.

When I fall in love with someone, I want to be with them, regardless of worldly conventions, etiquette, or family ties.

"You only lost a leg, but Zi Ling lost her love!"

Love can be more important than a leg, or even a life!

Gao Yuanyuan was in the prime of her youth, and naturally attracted to young men. When Lin Hu, such a dazzling man of the same age, suddenly appeared in her life, she was drawn to him and fell in love with him.

As for Lin Hu having a girlfriend, that's not a problem. When it comes to love, there's no such thing as first come, first served.

For Lin Hu, between love and legs, he would definitely choose legs; his life was more important.

However, it is still very pleasant, even enjoyable, to feel when a beautiful person of the opposite sex shows interest in you, or even competes for your attention.

This is human nature!

Gao Yuanyuan never went back to the lousy film crew of "Lost in North".

Teng Huatao lost face completely and didn't look for Gao Yuanyuan again. Instead, he found another girl to replace her in the role.

Anyway, it's just a minor role with few scenes, so it's not a big problem.

Gao Yuanyuan used the excuse of preparing for exams to frequently visit Lin Hu's house.

Zhou Xun was filming and wasn't around during the day.

These two adulterers, uh, no... Gao Yuanyuan didn't say anything, and Lin Hu pretended not to know either.

Lin Hu found this youthful and innocent feeling quite interesting and enjoyed it very much.

In Lin Hu's view, it would be a good thing if Gao Yuanyuan could get into the Beijing Film Academy and systematically study acting.

Because Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are so poor, she is not good enough for important roles.

If you want to be an actor, you still need roles to play.

Unlike Zhou Xun, who has a plethora of classic roles, Gao Yuanyuan has been in the entertainment industry for decades without a single notable character.

The only Zhou Zhiruo was a high-quality imitation of Kathy Chow.

So I diligently tutored her.

A few days later, Lin Hu was giving a lesson to Gao Yuanyuan when the postman walked into the yard with a package.

Lin Hu signed for it, opened it, and found a stack of books.

The novel "The Legend of the Dragon and the Snake" has been officially published in Taiwan. This is a sample copy sent by Crown Publishing.

Lin Hu opened the title page of one of the books, signed his name, and handed it to Gao Yuanyuan.

"This is for you, and it's personally signed!"

"What?"

My novel has been published!

"real?"

Gao Yuanyuan quickly took the book, flipped through it several times, and exclaimed, "You're really amazing! You're talented in both literature and martial arts. Your kung fu is so good, and you can even write books."

She thought, "The man I love is a peerless hero. I wonder if one day he will come to marry me riding on auspicious clouds?"

……

Lin Hu was overjoyed when "The Legend of the Dragon and the Snake" was officially published, and he held another gathering.

The Busan International Film Festival will open in a few days.

Lin Hu went to the embassy to get his visa. He originally planned to go alone, but Gao Yuanyuan also wanted to go, so the two of them ended up going together.

The two flew from Beijing to Seoul, then transferred to Busan. On the plane, they met several Chinese people, including Jia Zhangke and Lu Xuechang, both sixth-generation directors in China.

They brought their debut works, "Xiao Wu" and "Growing Up," to Busan for the exhibition.

The Busan International Film Festival is a Category B film festival.

The International Federation of Film Producers Associations categorizes film festivals worldwide into four types: A, B, C, and D. Types A and B are competitive film festivals.

Category A is a comprehensive category, and the three major European film festivals—Cannes, Berlin, and Venice—are all in Category A, representing the greatest influence.

Category B is for film festivals with specific themes. The Busan International Film Festival, for example, is dedicated to discovering new talents and works, and it only selects directors' debut and second films.

In later generations, the Busan International Film Festival became one of the best-run and most influential film festivals in Asia, and its unique nature made it a cradle for renowned directors.

For example, in the year Lin Hu participated, many future big directors brought their debut or second works to the exhibition.

Besides Jia Zhangke and Lu Xuechang from mainland China, there are also Wai Ka-fai and Oxide Pang from Hong Kong, as well as the future Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Each of these participating films will have a special screening.

In the spirit of Chinese people supporting Chinese people, Lin Hu and Gao Yuanyuan first went to see Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" and Lu Xuechang's "Growing Up", but ended up falling asleep while watching them.

Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" tells the story of a pickpocket. It was filmed in his hometown county town, with a budget of only 38 yuan. The effects were extremely rough, and all the actors were non-professionals.

When Lin Hu took a film course in the original timeline, the teacher showed "Xiao Wu" in class, and he thought it was alright.

When Gao Yuanyuan saw the gloomy scene and the listless male lead, she immediately lost interest. After watching for a while, she leaned on Lin Hu's shoulder and fell asleep.

Then she went to watch "Growing Up," but fell asleep again.

Lin Hu thought to himself, "Are they using my shoulder as a bed?"

He complained, "If you sleep like this during the day, what will you do at night?"

Gao Yuanyuan was a little embarrassed: "I can't understand it, and I don't think it's good. If I force myself to watch it for a while, I'll get sleepy!"

Looking at her adorable, bewildered expression, Lin Hu thought she was absolutely adorable. He took her hand and said, "Let's go see a romantic movie!"

Lin Hu took Gao Yuanyuan to see a South Korean movie called "Christmas in August".

Early Korean films often featured tragedies, with the male and female protagonists frequently suffering from terminal illnesses and dying. This trend was started by the film "Christmas in August".

The plot of this movie is very simple. The female lead, played by Korean superstar Shim Eun-ha, often goes to a photo studio to develop photos for work, and thus gets to know Han Suk-kyu, the young owner of the photo studio.

The two met frequently and developed feelings for each other, but Han Suk-kyu had a secret he couldn't tell Shim Eun-ha: he had a terminal illness and didn't have much time left to live...

The film was made in a rather plain way, without much plot conflict, yet it was exceptionally moving.

In the end of the movie, Han Suk-kyu is already dead, but Shim Eun-ha is unaware of it.

One day, she passed by a photo studio and peered through the glass window. She saw her photo displayed in the window and smiled happily.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this ending.

Soon it will be Ong-Bak's turn to be screened!

Unlike other directors whose debut films are low-budget art films, Lin Hu brings us a fierce action film.

On the day of the screening, it attracted a large audience, and directors from mainland China and Hong Kong also came to watch.

Lin Hu exchanged some pleasantries with them, and the movie was soon shown.

The South Korean audience in the screening room, who had been watching too many drowsy art films, were suddenly energized by this intense movie.

On the big screen, Lin Hu travels from the countryside to Hong Kong, engaging in exhilarating fights with every punch landing with a visceral impact. The gushing blood and sweat, mixed with the horrifying sound effects of bones shattering, sent chills down the spines of the entire audience.

The thrilling and incredibly powerful action scenes unfolded one after another, drawing enthusiastic applause and screams from the Koreans.

"Wow, damn, that's amazing! He's even more powerful than Bruce Lee!"

"Damn, China's about to produce another action star!"

"The continuity of tradition—that's the strength of Chinese action films!"
