Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 122 The panicked duo
"The second Li Xiaolong? Now every writer of Hong Kong Weekly is boasting more than the other."

Inside the Xinyi City Building.

Mecca touched his bald head, looked at the report in "Film Fortnightly" and sneered.

In terms of business performance, Zhang Yang’s performance this year is indeed outstanding, but compared to Zhang Yang, their performance in New Art City is not bad!
Not to mention "The Best Partner", which won the annual box office championship and broke Hong Kong Island's box office record of 2000 million for the first time, "Brothers and Brothers", "Nightmare", and "Afraid" after the Spring Festival are all box office hits. A masterpiece with over [-] million levels.

Therefore, in the eyes of Mecca, judging from the box office figures alone, Zhang Yang cannot be regarded as the iconic figure of 82. The one who should really become the symbol of this year has to be their New Art City!
Putting down the "Movie Fortnightly" in his hand, Mecca stood up and stretched out his clothes.

In the afternoon, he still had to go to the studio to shoot "Best Partner 2". Although among the seven-member team, Xu Ke unexpectedly chose to give up directing, but with Zeng Zhiwei here and the help of the rest of their New Art City, this time He is bound to take the box office of "The Best of Us 2" to a higher level and let those who have no vision see who is the most noteworthy new force in Hong Kong Island!
……

And just when Mecca joined hands with everyone from Xinyi City to film "The Best Partner 2" with confidence, Zhang Yang had already mobilized the filming team and prop team of Yingyang Pictures to come to the boxing gym and accompany the ATV program team. personnel, started the actual filming of the "Fighting Peak" program.

Among the participants, in addition to Zhou Billy and Lu Huiguang, who will appear as mentors for the boxers, Zhang Yang, as the boss of the league, will also participate in the entire filming of the show to provide help to these newbies in the boxing world.

Although the lineup of mentors is star-studded, the real focus of the show is naturally the boxers.

After screening the list several times, among the 16 people finally selected, four were amateur boxers recommended by Fude Club, six were newcomers to Zhang Yang Boxing Gym who had just participated in mixed martial arts training, and the remaining six were , three of them absorbed amateur boxers from the outside who passed the screening, and the last three were the trio of martial arts masters who were favored by Zhang Yang.

As the first episode of the show, Zhang Yang did not rush into groups or let these newcomers introduce themselves. Instead, he asked Lu Huiguang and Zhou Billy to enter the octagonal cage first and give everyone a low-intensity exhibition match. At the same time, with the help of this exhibition match, Zhang Yang began to face the camera and elaborate on the differences between mixed martial arts and other types of fighting.

"As we all know, unlike the popular boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai and other competitions, mixed martial arts only has a few rules, so it will test the players' comprehensive ability in various fighting skills. Of course, although there are a variety of fighting skills at home and abroad, There’s a lot of variety, but in MMA, we’ve simplified it and categorized it into two series and six dimensions.”

"The two major categories are standing and wrestling, and the six dimensions are boxing, kicking, inner circumference, wrestling, anti-falling, and ground jujitsu. I want to become a comprehensive team that truly has the strength to compete for championships. Fighters, although they do not need to be proficient in all six dimensions, they must at least understand them and cannot be helpless."

"Generally speaking, stand-up players tend to be proficient in boxing, kicking and fall prevention, while wrestling and soft players are better at wrestling, ground and inner fighting. Of course, despite this simple and easy We understand the divisions, but mixed martial arts fighters are not fixed by divisions. If someone can be impeccable in all six dimensions, then he will undoubtedly be a champion level player..."

In front of the camera, Zhang Yang turned his back to the sixteen students and talked calmly.

As for fighting, Zhang Yang has absolute confidence, so his tone of speech is neither urgent nor slow, and there is an undoubted majesty in his words. Therefore, even the youngest, only 16-year-old Zou Zhaolong , and they all listened extremely seriously, not daring to get distracted in the slightest.

Along with Zhang Yang's introduction, there was also an exhibition match between Lu Huiguang and Zhou Billy in the cage.

In order to cooperate with Zhang Yang's explanation and introduction, the fight between the two people also consciously followed Zhang Yang's introduction.

Boxing, wrestling and ground skills were all demonstrated by Zhou Bili, who has been following Zhang Yang for the longest time, while the inner circle, fall prevention and leg skills were all performed by Lu Huiguang, who is proficient in Muay Thai.Although there was no rehearsal in advance, the two people's tacit understanding of offense and defense had already been developed to a certain extent during the long practice, so whether it was testing the steps and feints or demonstrating the moves, they were all displayed vividly.

Seeing the two decisive choices and actions, the sixteen newcomers standing outside the Octagon all looked amazed.

Especially Zou Zhaolong and Lin Guobin, who had never been exposed to mixed martial arts before, were shocked to see the fists and legs of Zhou Billy and Lu Huiguang colliding with each other in the cage.

When did... fighting develop into this?
This is completely different from the fighting competition in their minds!
The two of them accepted this invitation not because they knew nothing about fighting.

On the contrary, Zou Zhaolong, who is only 16 years old, has already learned boxing from his father at the age of five. After he decided to join the film industry at the age of 12, he also learned Taekwondo and Muay Thai as a supplement. Although he is young now, he has little ability. not bad.

As for Lin Guobin, who is slightly older, although he did not learn Kung Fu in a particularly systematic way, he also learned it by working in various studios. In order to make ends meet, he even worked as a security guard in a nightclub. His practical experience or There are some more or less.

But for these two people, today's demonstration by Zhou Billy and Lu Huiguang was a complete eye-opener.

Invariably.

They both took a deep breath.

When he first received the invitation and came to Yingyang Pictures for an interview, Zhang Yang had seriously told the two of them that this time the "Fighting Peak" program would be shot in real life. How far the two of them can go will all depend on it. they themselves.

When they first heard this, the two of them felt that Zhang Yang was making a fuss out of a molehill. After all, even if it is under the banner of fighting, the show is still a show. How cruel can actual combat be, no matter how cruel it is?
But now it seems that if we don't take it seriously, how far both of them can go in the show is a small problem. After the actual fight, whether they can still stand up and walk is the most important thing. thing.

He turned his eyes slightly and glanced at the camera marked with the ATV logo.

No one wants to be beaten into a pig's head in front of the entire Hong Kong audience.

It was obviously too late and unwilling to quit.

It seems that the only way left to choose is to work hard.
