Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chen Long ran to Hollywood to prove himself.

Although he knew that this time he would definitely fail, Yang Ye also planned to put some pressure on him.

The most direct way is to support another kung fu superstar.

That is of course the kung fu emperor Jet Li.

Li Lianjie is seventeen years old and can make his debut.

At the Fifth National Games last year, Li Lianjie won five martial arts gold medals and then retired from the martial arts world due to injury.

In the original time and space, several left-wing film companies in Hong Kong merged into the Central Plains Film Company due to their misfortune.

Inspired by the prosperity of Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong, I decided to make a Kung Fu movie. Then I auditioned actors from across the country to shoot "Shaolin Temple".

It was during this selection that Li Lianjie was chosen as the leading actor Jue Yuan.

In 1982, "Shaolin Temple" premiered in Hong Kong, causing a stir on Hong Kong Island. With the spread of the film, Jet Li also became famous around the world.

Unfortunately, due to his identity as a mainlander, he has never been accepted by the Hong Kong film industry. It took until 1991 for him to rise again with "Once Upon a Time".

It's a pity that it was already the last carnival of Hong Kong films.

Jet Li missed the best years of Hong Kong movies in the [-]s and wasted his best youth.

Now, although "Shaolin Temple" has been taken away by Yang Ye, Yang Ye wants to let Jet Li fully display his talents at his best age, in the heyday of action movies.

……

Yang Ye and Li Zhengyang, accompanied by Zhang Guoqing, an official from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, appeared at the Capital Airport and then checked into the Liuguo Hotel.

After a brief stay for one night, Yang Ye was invited to visit the performance of the Beijing Wushu Team the next day.

"Mr. Yang, I have long admired your name!"

Wu Bin, the head coach of the martial arts team, shook hands with Yang Ye warmly as soon as he saw him.

"Coach Wu, I heard that you have led the martial arts team to perform abroad many times and are famous overseas. I have also admired your name for a long time!"

"No matter where you are, you punched North America and kicked Japan. You are a hero to us Chinese people."

Punch North America, kick Japan... There seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, and Yang Ye accepted his praise calmly.

Although it sounds weird, it feels a bit like "the whole crowd cheers".

Accompanied by Wu Bin, Yang Ye walked into the still very crude martial arts team.

Compared with Yang Ye's martial arts gym, this place is a scumbag, and all kinds of training equipment are very primitive.

On the playground, a coach and a group of children were boxing. Although they were young, they were boxing in a decent and neat manner. It was obviously rehearsed in advance to welcome Yang Ye's arrival.

Yang Ye nodded and praised: "Not bad! What's that kid's name? His basic skills are very good!"

Wu Bin followed Yang Ye's gesture and looked over with admiration: "Mr. Yang is indeed an expert! This kid's name is Wu Jing, and he has only been in the martial arts team for a few months. However, he was born in a martial arts family, and his basic skills are much better than ordinary kids. "

Yang Ye nodded and said, "No wonder, he is a good seedling!"

Yang Ye did not disturb their practice and walked into a very spacious practice room, where the members of the martial arts team were already waiting.

As soon as Yang Ye came in, there was a burst of warm applause.

Wu Bin made a quiet gesture and said: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is our Hong Kong compatriot and the world's number one master, Mr. Yang Ye! He once swept the Japanese martial arts world and defeated the American boxing champion in the Olympics. Champ Ali. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it before!”

Although they are in the mainland, the Beijing martial arts team often performs abroad, and the news is not blocked. Naturally, they have heard about such an awesome person like Yang Ye. Now that they saw him in person, they were all excited and applauded.

Then, the performance officially began.

First, a female team member came on the stage and played smoothly with a set of Baguazhang.

Yang Ye nodded and praised: "The palm techniques and footwork are criss-crossed and can be switched freely. It really captures the essence of Baguazhang! What is the name of this team member?"

Yang Ye made a casual comment and mentioned the characteristics of Baguazhang. Wu Bin said with admiration: "Her name is Ge Chunyan, she is the fifth generation descendant of Baguazhang, and she is also proficient in Tai Chi. Among the female members of our martial arts team, she is the most powerful. The male player is Li Lianjie."

Yang Ye nodded repeatedly, but secretly sighed that it was a pity. Ge Chunyan's kung fu was indeed awesome, but it was a pity that he looked too average.

If a woman wants to be a star, not only must she have good kungfu, but her appearance is also the most important thing.

You have to be beautiful and sassy to get ahead. Yang Ziqiong's appearance is already the lowest among female stars. But she is still the Miss Malaysia champion.

After Ge Chunyan finished playing, everyone applauded. The applause from the women's team was particularly enthusiastic, and some even whistled.

Yang Ye glanced over there and said strangely: "Coach Wu, why is there a male player in the women's team?"

Wu Bin snorted and said with a smile: "His name is Zhen Zidan. He is from the United States and is the only foreign student in our martial arts team. Since he has not received systematic training and his body flexibility is relatively poor, I asked him to follow the women's team first. practise."

Yang Ye smiled and thought to himself: "This guy is so handsome and blessed." Zhen Zidan never expected that he would see Yang Ye here. He was very excited. He was the one who whistled just now, trying to attract Yang Ye's attention.

Yang Ye violently beat the black boxing champion in the United States and made Foreman brag about his dick. This became a legend among the Chinese community in the United States, to the point where everyone knew about it and everyone knew about it.

Zhen Zidan is even more of a big fan of Yang Ye. When he saw movies about Yang Ye in which people of all colors were in a movie theater, he had the idea of ​​becoming Yang Ye's teacher.

This guy grew up in the United States and has a relatively straightforward personality, but he doesn't care about the rules in China. When he saw Yang Ye talking about him to Coach Wu, he knew that this was his opportunity, so he immediately jumped out of the team. He said in a voice: "Mr. Yang, I want to become your teacher!"

Wu Bin scolded: "Zhen Zidan, what are you doing? Go back!"

Yang Ye waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, smiled and said to Zhen Zidan: "Why do you want to worship me as your teacher?"

Donnie Yen said: "I grew up in the United States, and every Chinese among us has seen the video of you beating the American boxing champion. I have also seen the movies you made. The purpose of my coming to China is to become my disciple. "

Yang Ye said strangely: "If you want to become my teacher, shouldn't you go to Hong Kong? Why are you here in the mainland?"

Zhen Zidan said: "I heard that if you want to be your disciple, you have to go through a very strict assessment, so I plan to come to the mainland to practice kung fu well before going to Hong Kong."

Yang Ye nodded: "Then let me see how you perform a set of kung fu?"

Zhen Zidan shook his head: "I just came here not long ago, so I don't know how to use these tricks."

"Then what will you do?"

"I'm good at actual combat, no one here can beat me!"

"So confident?"

"Of course, when I was in the United States, those foreign devils often bullied me, so I fought with them until the whole school. No one in the community dared to mess with me. My actual combat skills were gained through street fights. The people here practiced They are all routines, used for performances, there is no way they can beat me!"

Yang Ye nodded and asked: "Who among you is the most powerful?"

Zhen Zidan's words made the students present very unhappy. They quickly recommended a young man to come out. Needless to say, this man was Li Lianjie.

Li Lianjie actually retired after participating in the National Games last year, but Yang Ye came here for him this time and wanted to see him by name, so the martial arts team called him back.

Wu Bin introduced Yang Ye, and Yang Ye said with great interest: "Can you show me a set of punches?"

Li Lianjie cupped his fists and said, "Of course!"

After saying that, he stood up on the court, opened up his posture, and performed a set of fan boxing.

Fanziquan is a very ancient type of boxing. Its style is characterized by equal emphasis on the hands and feet, stretched movements, and a large stance. The legs are as flexible and flexible as the arms and can be used freely.

Because it looks good in fighting, it was listed as a martial arts performance and competition after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This is also the reason why Northern Kung Fu is more popular when making movies. The action is big and it looks great!

After Li Lianjie finished a set of punches, Yang Ye frowned and said, "Are you injured on your leg?"

Li Lianjie nodded and said sadly: "There was an accident during training!"

He retired because of this.

Yang Ye patted him on the shoulder and said: "Despite this, your movements are still precise and swift, and your movements are smooth and flowing. It is really amazing."

Li Lianjie said humbly: "Mr. Yang, you have given me the award."

Yang Ye said: "Actually, I'm here just for you this time. You should know that I am a director, and the kung fu movies I shoot are very famous all over the world. I want to invite you to Hong Kong to shoot an action movie. I wonder if you are willing?"

After Li Lianjie retired, he didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, I received a notice that a Hong Kong director had come to select an actor and asked him to return to the martial arts team to perform kung fu.

If you can go to Hong Kong to make a movie, why wouldn't Jet Li be willing? He said excitedly: "I do!"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Then get ready and apply for a visa to Hong Kong first. I have some other things to do. Let's set off in half a month."

They were chatting happily, and Zhen Zishan looked confused!
  Aren't you chatting with me? Why did he suddenly go to Jet Li's side and ask him to perform kung fu? Then you decided to make him an actor?
  Zhen Zidan couldn't help but said: "What about me?"

Yang Yexin said, Oh, I forgot about him.

Yang Ye pointed at Li Lianjie provocatively and said, "How about you have a fight with him?"

Zhen Zidan pouted: "I don't bully disabled people!"

Li Lianjie's friend Wang Jue couldn't bear to listen and couldn't help but stand up and said angrily: "Zhen, don't be arrogant. I'll challenge you to a duel!"

Wang Jue played Huang Feihong in "Su Qier" starring Donnie Yen in 1993, and the two fought side by side in the movie.

However, there were a lot of blockbusters in Hong Kong that year, including Jet Li's "Tai Chi Sam Feng", not to mention their "Su Qier". Wang Jue never acted in a movie again.

Seeing the excitement, Yang Ye didn't think it was a big deal, so he immediately pulled Li Lianjie to the side and made way for them to fight. (End of chapter)
