Drunken Master

It was the first time in Pei Yan's life that he met with Zhuang Xiao. He visited the mountain and talked about the opportunity to appear in the US version of "Drunken Master".Within seven steps, he fought Zhuang Xiao in a real fight, and the half-stroke "White Ape Presenting Fruit" that that guy used with one palm almost split his ear.

It's just halfway.

His ears were quite impressive, and he didn't have blood vessels bursting into rivers on the spot, but when he walked out of Zhuang Xiao's house with his back turned, some blood still flowed out from the torn earlobe, which flowed onto his shoulders...

Pei Yan debuted not from a formal performing arts class, but from an orthodox kung fu family.After three years of fighting in the national mixed martial arts club competition, he came to the fore and became famous after several fights. Because of a tragic accident, he retired and stopped fighting.

He was only 21 years old at that time, a decent descendant of a famous family, young, handsome, fresh in body, and good at fighting, it would be a pity if he didn't enter the circle And for, outsiders seem to take it for granted.

Pei Yan made a hit Kung Fu idol romance film in two years, which was a remake of the old version of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier". Because of the fire, this cheesy film was shot three times in a row.In the past few years, there are not enough screenwriters for kung fu movies. Everyone’s brains are filled with pulp and they can’t find new stalks. It’s popular to put old wine in new bottles. The fresh and tender face in the water is a shortcut to evoke the youthful memories of the audience and then boost the box office.Therefore, under the painstaking cultivation and momentum of his godfather and nanny-like manager Johnny Wu, Pei Yan became popular, a small satellite in the kung fu circle that attracted a lot of attention.

To use some people's sour words, the small satellite is about to go to the sky, orbit the Milky Way, and go chasing the big star.

When I entered the Milky Way, I couldn't hide my greater ambition and career pursuit, so I wanted to show my face on the big screen abroad.Everyone in the circle also knows how to bloom outside the wall and increase their value inside the wall.If you have no skills, you can take advantage of the free red carpet in Cannes and the auditorium at Fashion Week; if you have skills, you can go to the big screen and fight with real kung fu.

Pei Yan thought she was capable.He thinks very highly of himself.

"Old Pei, this opportunity is really good. The producer contacted us in private, and expressed their intention clearly. They bought the copyright two years ago, and they have been procrastinating. The American version of "Drunken Master" ", we need a Chinese kung fu actor to be the number one male. How many suitable ones are there in the circle? No more than five fingers, and those who are too old and not handsome enough, then three or two, There are not one or two left who can act and fight! Old Pei, you must try this film."

His agent, Johnny Wu, is always positive, enthusiastic, far-sighted, and hard-working. When he enters the room to talk about things, he has a face stained with sweat from overuse. He took out his tie and wiped his sweat.

Johnny Wu snapped off three of the five fingers he extended, and signaled to his popular small satellite: Look, the more hard roles require a bit of skill, the more they can truly be called competitive. The opponent's, not much.

Comrade Pei had just finished his exercises in the morning and came out of the bathroom with his head slightly lowered, water dripping from the top of his head, and the water splashed across his chest.

"Old Pei" is what he asked Johnny Wu to call him, saying, why Ah Pei, Ah Pei, with such a hard southern accent?You will all call me Lao Pei from now on.

Johnny Wu shook his smile and said, Mr. Pei, I am two rounds faster than you anyway. I am Lao Wu, you are Xiao Pei, and there are people who don't like to pretend to be young and prefer to pretend to be old?

Pei Yan looked up at his agent playfully at that time, you are older than me, can you beat me?

Whoever has a hard fist is justified, and whoever sets the rules, you can do what you want?

It's just out of character, just this temper.Young and vigorous, with unconvincing pride.

Pei Yan looked at Johnny Wu's two raised fingers: "The remaining two can act, who can act?"

"You!" Johnny Wu patted Pei Yan on the shoulder like a parent caring for a child, smoothed off the unruly water droplets on his bald head, and then helped the proud child put on a coat. He bent down to help the child lift the shoes.

Johnny Wu said very honestly: "I think Zhuang Xiao can also play the role. Mr. Zhuang is really good, and he has been working there for several years, and Hollywood filmmakers recognize his fame and skill. After all, he... debuted earlier than you For many years..."

Pei Yan looked at the water dripping from her head, and couldn't refute this.Zhuang Xiao has a great reputation. He has debuted for many years. He also respects the seniors in the industry and has admired his name for a long time.

……

Pei Yan usually doesn't like to talk nonsense, but she has a very high spirit and has something in her heart, and she will never procrastinate or procrastinate.

He had a rough discussion with his agent here, and after a few days, he flew to Los Angeles, took the initiative to talk to the agent, met with the director of the film, went to the studio to audition... He quietly started to do what he could do within his personal ability. It's done in one step, and the last thing to do is to visit Mr. Zhuang in Irvine next door.

Uninvited, visit Zhuang Xiao at home.Yes, there is such an opportunity to remake the blockbuster "Drunken Master", and the male lead is a rare Chinese character. According to the film crew, only the two of us can act, choose one of the two, let's talk.

Mr. Zhuang, do you really want to act?I also really want to act.

Pei Yan has tried all the roles that can be played, and personally participated in the battle, and tried several fighting scenes that must appear in the script.Flying to the ground on the third floor, the scene of motorcycle speeding, and several different martial arts routines, he wants to prove to the director and the producer that he can act without using a plaster cast or a double.He really wanted to be in this show, really wanted to get ahead, and use this bridge to get to Hollywood.

The kung fu circle is actually very small. A group of martial artists are based on the top of the mountain. They usually avoid direct heated encounters with each other, but they all know each other's names and have no face.

It is said that there is also an unwritten rule in this circle, if you want to match a bridge to "hit" into Hollywood, you have to visit Mr. Zhuang first, bow your head, offer tea, and call "Brother". Old, entered the circle early, and even traveled across the ocean to get gilded beforehand!

To say that Zhuang Xiao is an "old senior", this person is not really old, he is not a few years older than Pei Yan.

Pei Yan only got an electric shock at the age of 21, and Zhuang Xiao appeared on the big screen at the age of 11.

It was born at the right time, just in time for the golden age of kung fu movies, the best and most powerful glorious years in front of the stage and behind the scenes.At that time, a Hong Kong director was planning to make a movie about fighting teenagers. He went to the mainland to select young actors, specifying that he wanted new faces, and selected 11-year-old Zhuang Xiao from a club in Daxing County.

The script of the movie is very good, both passionate and tragic, the figure on the boxing ring is thin and thin, the young man's face is covered with blood, his vicissitudes of life are strangled by the cruel rules of life, the last inch of innocence is strangled, and the blood is drained.The ending of the film is heroic. I wish I could wipe out the protagonist and supporting roles. This kind of film is going straight to win the award. Zhuang Xiao became famous at a young age, and this film will last him half his life. actor.

In the current circle, few people have been lucky enough to have worked with Kung Fu film directors and superstars in the 90s, and Zhuang Xiao is the only one left who is still acting and fighting.

Therefore, many people say that the last glow of kung fu movies and martial arts movies at the end of the last century was left on the shoulders of Zhuang Xiao, the last real "hero" on the screen...

Pei Yan asked Johnny Wu to call Mr. Zhuang's house. Half an hour after the call, he was already at the gate of Zhuang Xiao's house, making it impossible for the other party to refuse his visit.

Zhuang Xiao's house in Irvine looks good, it's quite a big mansion with a swimming pool.After all, he is a long-established star in the circle, so he definitely has money to spend.

There was a circle of people waiting for Mr. Pei in the house. Pei Yan generally knew the faces, and they were common on the screen. They were the martial arts brothers of the famous "dealer class".

Face each other coldly, and there are many people.

All of them have slightly burst veins, staring at him, Pei Yan, wanting to kick him out of this room, into the sea.

The sunshine in California is very poisonous. Through the glass door, it is hot on the body. Pei Yan's forehead reflects the light, and his eyebrows and eyes are black and white.

He had a shiny shaven head, a long, thin face, narrow eyes, and thin lips.

Just because he is young and handsome, he dares to shave his head, and he can become popular with a bald head.

When Pei Yan clasped her fists neither humble nor overbearing, the atmosphere in the house was already tense.In the next second, Fatty Bao turned around from behind the sofa, and quickly pulled Johnny Wu past him with sharp eyesight, temporarily easing the scene that was about to ignite the flames.

Fatty Bao's name is Bao Pengzhi, and he is Zhuang Xiao's manager.The two agents shook hands and greeted in a feigned manner, both smiling, and the "zipper" that controls the opening and closing of the upper and lower lips can be retracted and retracted freely, as if they are so familiar.

Johnny Wu smiled and said, "I've been admiring you for a long time, Mr. Bao! My surname is Wu, and everyone generally calls me Johnny."

Fatty Bao returned with an expression of hehe: "Jiu Yang, Mr. Wu Junde. Handsome and virtuous—oh, your surname is Wu (Wu)?"

"..." Johnny Wu's smiling muscles trembled, and he had a good temper, "It's OK to call it anything! Our Lao Pei specially stopped by today to have a chat with Mr. Zhuang. The perspective of the film's foreground..."

Fatty Bao said: "We, Mr. Zhuang, have opinions on this film? Who is suitable for the role, and whoever can beat whoever can play it."

Johnny Wu said: "Can there be more than one family? Besides, this is a movie, not a real ring. It's not just fist fights. Casting also pays attention to other factors... The film studio and director invited us to audition. Just pass by for the audition, and visit Mr. Zhuang."

Fatty Bao: "The film crew also invited us to audition."

Johnny Wu: "Oh...so."

Standing aside, Pei Yan suddenly interjected, "You guys have already auditioned? What did the director say?"

Bao Pengzhi thought that if you ask me, I will tell you the truth?

"The director said that he has admired Mr. Zhuang's reputation for a long time, and wanted to make a traditional and pure Chinese Kung Fu movie, so he had to find the most suitable person to act in it. What he wanted was Mr. Zhuang's overseas and inland brand." Bao Pengzhi wrote in the second half of the photo. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were not smiling.

"Also, the action design of this film has also determined our team, and the final signing is just a matter of signing." Fatty Bao added with a smile, and sat back on the sofa, bouncing the sofa cushions cheerfully and domineeringly. Looking at Pei Yan's face suddenly revealed disappointment.

Now that the dealer class has been set for the action design, the role is likely to be Zhuang Xiao.Otherwise, it doesn't make sense, your crew wants to use Zhuang Xiao's men and horses as martial arts fingers, and you dare to fly the boss of the dealer class out of the game after all the food you eat?

There are more than 20 people in the banker class, which is recognized as the best martial arts team in the circle.It seems that there is no more competition, unless Zhuang Xiao resigns, the schedule does not match or he does not want to act.

How easy is it for a newcomer to compete for the top position?If you want to touch this piece of cake on the plate of the old guys, why do you rely on you to get ahead, just rely on you, a kid who hasn't grown up yet?

Bao Pengzhi stood up again, and stretched out his hand again, intending to shake hands with Pei Yan. This was about to see off the guests, and he didn't even have a sip of tea.

Pei Yan stood still, didn't reach out, Zhuang Xiao didn't show up, so he was dismissed like this?

Pei Yan asked: "Is Mr. Zhuang at home? I want to have a chat with him."

Someone at the side couldn't stand it anymore, stretched out his hand uncontrollably, lifted Fatty Bao's hand, and reached out directly to Pei Yan!

The wind was heard, fists and feet had already opened up, and a few palms slashed fiercely at Pei Yan's face!The person who wanted to smash his face had hatred in his eyes, and his eyes were dark red. He was a martial artist from the banker's class. His name was Sa Risheng. He was even younger than Pei Yan, and his temper was hotter.

"Look for my elder brother, you pass me first." Sa Risheng's palm was fierce, using both palm and leg, kicking up one foot after another, forcing Pei Yan to back up.Pei Yan cartwheels and jumped over the sofa!

"Xiao Sa!" Someone shouted around.

"This, isn't that good? We're here to visit sincerely, not here to fight... This, this is too..." Johnny Wu was astonished, and wanted to stop him, but he was hit by the shifted sofa and staggered into his belly. to the side.With Uncle Wu's physique, even if the three of them were bundled together and piled up as sacks, they couldn't resist Sa Risheng's kick.

"Pei, if you dare to come, don't leave this door." Sa Risheng bit the corner of his mouth, and slammed his palm on Pei Yan's shoulder, turning his palm into a claw, and grabbed Pei Yan's clothes.Half of the clothes were torn from the neckline to the arms with a "wow"!

Bao Pengzhi really showed good intentions just now, and told Pei Yan to retreat quickly when he knew it was difficult, and everyone in the same circle should not make trouble, so as not to hurt the peace of the two families.Let the conversation stop at the movie "Drunken Master", stop at the business, don't talk about unpleasant old things, grievances that are difficult for both parties to unravel.

"Little Sa!... What are you doing?! Don't be mean! Don't fight!" Bao Fatty squinted and yelled several times, but he is fat, he doesn't know how to fight, and it's useless for him to shout, he can't stop people .The younger brothers in the next circle were eager to try, and they were about to step forward and attack the group.

Pei Yan suddenly lost his expression at that moment, biting the corner of his mouth fiercely, and started to fight back after taking a few palms from Sarisheng.

You were the ones who did it first, and the clothes on your shoulders were torn, so you did it for nothing?

Wrong shoulder, hit elbow, directly used a ruthless move, and went up to the knee.

When Pei Yan swung his take-off leg, he threw out a powerful whip leg, and his kick was also ruthless.

His knee hit Sarisheng's ribs heavily, just like how he fought one after another in the fighting arena, KO opponents, that's how he fought.

Flying knees hit the opponent's eyes and bent over, and then swept his legs, entering the end of the ground battle that he is best at.He twisted the opponent's knee joint in a crushing manner, pressed the thigh from behind, pinched the knee, hugged the calf, and twisted sideways.

Sa Risheng screamed "Ah" in pain, sweat broke out on his young face, and his complexion turned pale.

If Pei Yan used all his strength this time, his knee and calf would be useless.

The whole fighting skill takes less than ten seconds, the movement is smooth, and the speed of thunder and lightning.The Wu Xing onlookers were all dumbfounded, they stopped their attempts to besiege in an instant, and there was no sound.

Fatty Bao has always been able to stretch and bend, so he hurriedly shouted: "I know Mr. Pei, you are amazing, we don't need to hurt people and hurt our peace! Let go, let go!"

Who can fight?

Let your boss come out and show his face.

Pei Yan didn't speak at all, and looked up at the people around her.It's that crazy.

Born as a combat athlete, it has only been two years since he retired and entered the entertainment industry. His kung fu has not been wasted yet, and he is in his prime.

That day, in Zhuang Xiao's house, Pei Yan twisted Sa Risheng's calf and broke him into a scream. The person he wanted to see finally showed up.

It was also the first time he met Zhuang Xiao off-screen.When Zhuang Xiao walked over from the porch of his backyard, he had sunshine on his shoulders, a white shirt and black pants, and his hair was tied in a bun behind his head.

Zhuang Xiaoyao said: "What are you doing? Let go of both of you."

Pei Yan's first impression of Zhuang Xiao was that this person is really not good at acting, he looks much better in person than on the screen.

What's more, in movies, it is often necessary to make "injured makeup" with blood pooled on the face, bruised nose and swollen face, deliberately selling misery to express heroism, and even pretending to be ugly for the sake of acting. Zhuang Xiao himself is very handsome, with black eyebrows and bright eyes, straight nose bridge, and lips He had a light, neatly trimmed beard, and his face was flawless.

He was still kneeling, pressing down on Sarisheng, and just looked up to copy Zhuang Xiao, trying to figure out how to talk about movies with him and win the role, but he didn't let go of Sarisheng's calf immediately.If you pinch for a few more minutes, it won't break the opponent's leg, and he won't exert any strength.

"Little Sa, let go too, get up." Zhuang Xiao looked at the people lying on the ground.

Sa Risheng had a painful expression on his face, he would have gotten up long ago if he could break free, he likes to lie on his stomach?

"Old Bao, Xiao Sa, you don't greet people like this." Zhuang Xiao seemed to smile, his lips moved, and he first criticized his family for being rude to guests.

People who practice martial arts will not easily fight with others. If they don't fight wildly, they will look particularly uneducated and unruly.

"Brother! Eriletu is like that! I can't stand up anymore, I can't wake up again!!" Sa Risheng's face hit the ground, grinning in pain, and he still roared out this sentence, his eyes clearly There are wet things, I wish I could tear up the one surnamed Pei.

Xiao Sa seldom even speaks a complete sentence. She is very introverted and does not easily fight with anyone. She is definitely not a wild child without a tutor.

Zhuang Xiao stopped Sa Risheng from continuing with his eyes, and then used two gazes to force back the tears in Xiao Sa's eyes—can I not mention it?Don't cry if you mention it.

"In that game, it was an inch of strength, and I didn't foul."

Pei Yan looked down at Sarisheng who was struggling under his knees, and replied with such a sentence.

When people are under the other party's roof, they don't even give a soft word of apology.In a national standard group arena match, three referees stared at the scene. The rules were strict and strict. I did not foul, and I was aboveboard.

"You didn't fucking foul..." Sa Risheng's roar was suppressed by him again by breaking his knees, and he couldn't roar out, sweating even more, and trembling with pain.

Pei Yan didn't let go, and his subordinates secretly exerted force, intending to give Sa Risheng a little color.If you insist on smashing my heart and pulling out the things that make me uncomfortable, just lie on your stomach, and I will let you hurt for a while.

He looked at Zhuang Xiao from bottom to top, and greeted him with his eyes, which was regarded as a greeting.The aggrieved feeling of being forced to retire and his strong competitive spirit prompted his deep-seated suffocation to overflow from his chest, and he blurted out: "Mr. Zhuang, your agent just said that whoever is suitable for the role should play, and whoever can hit him will fight! "

Before the words were finished, he didn't even see how Zhuang Xiao came to him.

It seemed that the person hadn't moved at all, and was still strolling and walking under the sun under the porch, and the palm had already been patted in front of the eyebrow.

That hand cut across his neck, almost cutting off his windpipe with such force, he was caught off guard and quickly let go, leaning back violently!

Zhuang Xiao's broad chest blocked the light in front of his eyes...

That hand supported his chin and moved forward, chopping and sending, only using one hand, the other hand didn't move, it was a half move of "White Ape Presenting Fruit".There was a star of gold in front of Pei Yan's eyes, his neck was chopped back and he made a sound from his cervical spine, which made his heart skip a beat.

He was blown away by this palm and fell to the ground, sharp pain shot out from his left earlobe...

It was only at this moment that I realized that Zhuang Xiao just said, "What kind of hands are you doing?" He didn't want the children to do anything with him.

This person presumably held grudges, and had wanted to slap him in the face for a long time, but today he finally found his chance.
