Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 586 Little Giant

This is the evaluation on the Internet about Florida, a beacon state that produces many talented people.

You can not live, but you can't have no life.

Zhang Yuan also adopted this strategy when facing this group of foreigners who didn't know the value of things.

We need to let foreigners open their eyes and see the world!
Now, that's for you to see for yourself.

It was you who brought me to this warehouse.

Then I'm sorry!

If I don't give you a big job, you will really think of yourselves as the beacon of civilization.

Lower your waist and bend your knees slightly.

Draw circles counterclockwise in front of your body with your hands and in a vertical direction, and move forward alternately with your feet, dividing into yin and yang, left and right.

At the same time, cooperate with breathing techniques and constantly adjust the body's center of gravity.

It sounds simple, but this is not a smooth journey.

But on the edge of the iron basin which was as thin as a knife tip.

If you are not careful, the basin will tip over.

This cannot be achieved without top-notch lower body skills, extremely strong core strength, and unparalleled center of gravity control ability.

This move was the first one that Zhang Yuan mastered, and he continued to improve on it. It came from the footwork of the Natural Gate, the Crow Step!
The Natural Gate has always paid great attention to the lower body.

In the practice of exercises, there are many ways to exercise the lower body and control the center of gravity, such as stepping on the tank, stepping on the frame, and stepping on the basin.

When you have practiced to your strongest level, you will be able to move forward by stepping on the edge of an empty basin or dustpan.

This already falls under the category of internal kung fu.

However, Zhang Yuan did not have time to practice this move alone, so he was unable to step on an empty basin.

So before we started, I asked someone to add some water to help increase the weight and stabilize the center of gravity.

"call!"

After walking around the edge of the basin three times, he suddenly tightened his abdomen, took a breath, exerted force with his legs, and jumped off the edge of the basin silently.

hum...

Everyone looked in and found that the water in the basin was rippling, but not a drop was spilled outside.

There wasn't a drop of water on the gray cement floor!
what……

All the foreigners looked like they had dislocated jaws.

Not to mention the foreigner, even Chen Long was shocked.

My brother is not as ignorant as white people.

After being in the martial arts industry for so many years, I have seen a lot of strange people and things.

Even if you haven't seen it, you've heard of it a lot.

He had heard of walking on pots, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes!
Uncle Long didn't expect that this kid could bring surprises to an old hand like him.

Those foreigners...

Uncle Long glanced sideways.

I saw that everyone around me was stunned, with pupils trembling.

Just now when Zhang Yuan kicked the bottle cap, these people were applauding.

But now that he had shown his skill, these foreigners all opened their mouths and no one spoke for a long time.

After a long time, Zhang Yuan felt that the air was so quiet that it was a bit awkward, and then producer Roger said something.

“Magic!”

This one shouted "magic!"
In their eyes, this is not kung fu, but witchcraft!

"Chinese kongfu?" As he spoke, the others gradually came back to their senses.

"It must have been tampered with!" Roger thought for a while and asserted, "Just like David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear!"

He was talking about the famous magic show in 83.

The world's number one magician, David Copperfield, made the Statue of Liberty disappear in front of the audience.

In fact, the principle is very simple: a rotating stage with pillars to block blind spots.

I also deliberately created some visual reference objects to attract attention.

After calculating the angle, pull up the curtain and move the stage.

From the audience's perspective, the Statue of Liberty is just blocked by the stage pillars, thus creating a "disappearing" effect.

After this battle, David became world famous!
Three years later, he repeated his old trick and came to China again to perform a motorcycle crossing the Great Wall.

So when he came to China to perform a few years ago, tickets were hard to come by in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

During the performance in Hong Kong, all 5 tickets for each show were sold out.

However, this guy later fell from grace when a bunch of underage girls sued him for sexual assault.

But in the United States, suing celebrities for sexual assault is very common.

Michael Jackson was branded as a pedophile until his death, but in fact he was a world-famous superstar with both moral integrity and artistic talent.

Most plaintiffs who sue celebrities cooperate with lawyers under the unique legal system of the Beacon Country in order to extort money and gain fame.

So whether it is true or not is still unknown.

But now, the producer of "Rush Hour 3" has classified Zhang Yuan's performance as a great magician's "strange and tricky tricks".

"There must be something wrong."

"magnet?"

"glue?"

This person didn't believe it, so he walked to the basin and jumped up.

Wow!

As soon as his feet touched the edge of the basin, the large stainless steel basin, shining with silver light, overturned immediately.

The clean water in it splashed all over him.

My pants were soaked.

"Shit!" The old man shook his high-end Italian leather shoes that were damaged by water.

"How on earth did you do that?"

"Talent, practice, and some Chinese blood." Zhang Yuan joked.

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the white foreigners nodded in unison like chickens running for rice.

+1 for the stereotype that everyone in China knows Kung Fu.

With this trick, these foreigners will never forget the scene just now.

They will also remember this young Chinese man named Zhang Yuan.

After Zhang Yuan wiped his butt with gauze and showed off his skills to these foreigners, the white people in the crew's attitude towards him changed significantly.

Confident and capable, they quite liked this Chinese man they met for the first time.

Then he brought out the prop samurai sword.

Zhang Yuan has rarely used this kind of weapon, but he still knows a lot of common sword techniques.

I gave them another set of knife skills.

The dance is vigorous and the roar is loud.

These white gentlemen also showed an expression of "Although I don't understand it, I am deeply shocked."

Anyway, they had been scared before, so now no matter what Zhang Yuan did, these foreigners would applaud, feeling that he was powerful.

I tried all the martial arts scenes.

Not only is it a good question, but I have never seen such a good one!

They were all scared.

The producer was so scared that he changed his pants.

Now it’s time for the literary drama.

"HELLO, Li!" Zhang Yuan turned around in front of everyone with a wicked smile.

This is the character's first appearance in the film.

With just a look and a glance, Zhang Yuan won the recognition of most people present with his performance.

After that, I tried several more lines and performances.

Uncle Long watched the reactions of others.

Seeing them nodding repeatedly, I knew they must be satisfied.

"Well, thank you very much for coming today."

A few hours later, the producers, directors, and casting directors shook his hands one by one.

"We still need to discuss this."

"Please wait a moment. If we need to add some audition content after discussion, we will notify you immediately."

"Please don't leave yet."

After Zhang Yuan agreed, he went to the lounge nearby to wait.

He certainly hopes the results will be out today.

But it’s different here than in China, I don’t have much connection with it.

It’s not realistic to ask others to confirm it on the spot.

Uncle Long chatted with him for a long time in the lounge about the Crow Step incident.

Even though he is over 50, he is young at heart and still wants to learn.

"I think you have great hopes."

"If the crew confirms it, I will inform you as soon as possible."

“Be sure to prepare the schedule.”

Uncle Long took care.

Zhang Yuan nodded seriously.

If I can act in this movie, it will be worth it no matter how much business it promotes.

"I'm very optimistic about you." The eldest brother squeezed his shoulders hard.

The two were drinking tea and chatting. After a while, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

When I came in, I saw it was director Brett.

"Jackie, let me tell you something." "Hiroyuki Sanada's agent just arrived at the company."

"Talking to Roger about the contract."

Brett has a good relationship with Uncle Long, and he is here to deliver a letter.

"what?"

Zhang Yuan's ears also moved slightly.

If you don’t come early, you won’t come late.

I just came for the audition, and after getting the approval of most people, the other party’s agent came.

Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

He didn't believe it anyway.

More likely.

Some people in the crew's senior management or within the company support Hiroyuki Sanada more.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After seeing that the situation was not good, he called the other side and asked them to resolve the battle quickly and not give himself, the "Cheng Yaojin", a chance.

Zhang Yuan's performance was amazing.

But Hiroyuki Sanada not only has a lot of experience, he has also already entered the Hollywood market.

And he is still a little unknown in North America.

In terms of strength, we are indeed not at an advantage.

Uncle Long promoted him not only because he was very satisfied with his performance, but more importantly, the box office in mainland China directly affected his income.

This is a struggle for interests.

Chen Long didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Although he is the protagonist and the director of the series, he cannot interfere with the casting.

Recommendations are fine, but forced replacements are not.

I thought it was troublesome.

"Zhang Yuan, you..." He turned his head, wanting Zhang Yuan to be patient, as the other party might not get the contract.

But upon closer inspection, I realized that there was no need for comfort, as Zhang Yuan was very calm.

Could it be that he didn't know that he was in a weak position?

If he wasn't in a weak position, would he need to do such a big job for these foreigners?
So he was clear.

Since he knew this clearly, he had already come up with a plan to deal with this situation on the flight.

He also prepared a backup plan.

Not long after, there was a knock on producer Roger's office door.

He was talking to Hiroyuki Sanada's agent.

"Come in."

"Roger, I have something to say." After that, the director came to the producer and whispered a few words.

The agent saw the producer's eyebrows twitch slightly and his expression looked surprised.

"Really?"

"That's what he said."

“Okay, I’ll consider it,” the producer replied.

After director Brett left, Roger continued to discuss the role contract with his agent.

But the agent found that the other party began to interrupt, talking about other things, and obviously wanted to delay.

"Roger, I think Hiroyuki Sanada is the best actor for the crew."

“His experience, especially his acting experience, can help the crew have a smoother shooting environment.”

"And his influence around the world can also have a positive impact on the film's box office."

"Indeed, I don't deny what you said." Roger confirmed it at first, but then immediately turned a blind eye.

"But Rush Hour is an A-level project for New Line Cinema, and we are very careful in casting."

"I can't finalize the contract in such a short time."

"I need to discuss this with the relevant personnel of the company."

We need to contact the relevant departments again... The excuses are the same all over the world.

In the end, the agent left the office somewhat dissatisfied and annoyed.

Agree to contact each other as soon as possible.

After the producer sent this person away, he immediately got up and went to the lounge where Zhang Yuan was.

White people speak directly and get to the point.

"Zhang, you just told Brett that you could find Yao?"

Seeing this person rushing in in a hurry, Zhang Yuan became calmer.

Because the more anxious he is, the more it shows that he is interested in my proposal.

"Yes."

"you sure?"

"Of course." Zhang Yuan confirmed repeatedly.

In fact, he was not 100% sure, but he had to grit his teeth and say yes in front of others.

The reason why he was not 100% confident was that the person he was looking for was indeed a heavyweight... in every sense of the word.

The Yao that producer Roger mentioned is the little giant Yao Ming who is now famous in China, North America, and even most of the world!
He is now the main player of the Houston Rockets and weighs 140 kilograms. He is indeed a heavyweight in all aspects.

My ancestral home is in Suzhou, but I grew up in Shanghai.

In the NBA, which is full of "masters", he is the leader with a height of 2.26 meters.

O'Neal's big body makes him look like he's drinking oral liquid when he drinks water, but when he stands next to Yao Ming, he suddenly becomes a little brother.

If it is so tall, why is it called a "little" giant?

Because China had already produced a giant before, Mu Tiezhu.

This guy is 2.28 meters tall, two centimeters taller than Yao Ming, and also older.

So Yao Ming could only get the nickname "Little Giant".

Yao Ming was born in 80. His mother is meters tall and his father is meters tall. In addition, he is a "giant baby" who weighed kilograms at birth. The Engel coefficient of their family is so high that even Engel himself would scratch his scalp when he saw it.

The little money the family earned was all spent on food.

He grew to 1.5 meters tall when he was six years old.

He had good academic performance, but was "forced" to start basketball training because of his height.

It is because of good health that he gave up his studies early.

At the age of eight, he had grown to 1.7 meters tall.

Anyone who sees it has to say something.

"This is eight years old!"

Although he is not the first Chinese to enter the NBA, his achievements and abilities are almost unprecedented and unparalleled in the Chinese basketball world.

Whether it is the former Song Tao, Wang Zhizhi and Bater, or the latter Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and Zhou Qi, they are far from it.

There is even a trend that each batch is worse than the previous one.

The Chinese national basketball team and the national football team have experienced the same phenomenon of becoming increasingly weaker since the new millennium. As for the specific reasons... it's hard to say.

In short, Yao Ming is the pride of Chinese people in the basketball world and has brought honor to the Chinese nation.

In last year's NBA All-Star voting, Yao Ming ranked first in the Western Conference.

It can be seen that it is very popular in the North American basketball market.

Basketball is the third most popular sport in North America.

The first two are American football and American baseball, which are not played much in 90% of the world except the United States.

It can be said that from a global perspective, the NBA is the most watched American sports event.

Yao Ming, who is very popular in this sport, is now a hot figure in both North America and China.

New Line focuses on the North American market, while Uncle Long focuses on the Chinese market.

So when Zhang Yuan suggested that he could find Yao Ming, they both showed great interest!
Because the crew originally wanted to ask Dayao to make a guest appearance.

In Bruce Lee’s classic masterpiece “Game of Death”… that’s the movie where the classic yellow background and black border suit skin appeared.

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also starred in this film.

But more importantly, when this film was being filmed, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was invited to make a cameo appearance.

Contributed a classic fighting scene.

Brett, the director of "Rush Hour", wanted to pay tribute to (reproduce) this classic routine and let Yao Ming come to guest star in the role of a giant warrior.

This plan was decided at the beginning.

But after contacting him several times, Yao Ming refused and didn't want to perform.

Even though Uncle Long personally called the other party's agent, there was still no response.

So now I heard that this young Chinese man can handle Yao Ming.

The producers are both excited and looking forward to it.

He raised the same question as Lu Yu.

"Really? I don't believe it."

After all, if Yao Ming could really make a cameo appearance, it would definitely be a good thing and would bring a heavyweight selling point to the film!

But he was also afraid that Zhang Yuan was writing a blank check just to get the role.

"I want to confirm again, can you find Yao Ming, the Yao Ming who is currently serving for the Houston Rockets in the NBA?"

"Yes, it's him." Zhang Yuan replied solemnly.

"So when can you do this?" the producer couldn't wait any longer.

"No rush. Doing this requires a lot of energy, and I can't let it go in vain." Zhang Yuan said very directly to the foreigner.

"If you can find Dayao, given your performance, I think you will be a perfect fit for our crew." The producer said confidently.

Find Yao Ming and the role is yours... The other party expressed his attitude.

When faced with white people who believe in "integrity first" and "contract spirit", Zhang Yuan, who has not been brainwashed by "Yilin" and "Story Club", has only one idea.

"Write a written agreement!" (End of this chapter)
