Film and Television World Life Record

Ding Xiaoxue smiled and nodded: "Yes, our boss does have that name."

Yang Xiaohui looked around the coffee shop again, a hint of curiosity on her face. It turned out that this was Li Mu's property; no wonder he had time to read here.

"Please thank Li Mu for me."

"Okay, Ms. Yang, I will pass it on to the boss."

When they left the coffee shop, Yang Xiaohui's female colleague looked at her in surprise: "Xiaohui, you are so charming. This is the first time I've ever had someone pay for free. I'm only getting this thanks to you."

"You think he might be trying to pursue you? Our Xiaohui is so beautiful, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted. He's definitely thinking about making a move on you."

Yang Xiaohui blushed slightly: "No way, don't talk nonsense, we're classmates."

Her female colleague smiled and stared at her, saying, "It's easier to make a move when you're a classmate. Look at this one, she's quite good, you should seize the opportunity!"

The two joked with each other as they walked away.

……

Time passed, and another week went by. The system sent another message: this time, the world we needed to go to was "Let's Get Married".

This is a TV series that was prepared for filming in 2012 and aired in 2013, so it's been around for a while.

The former Zhou Zhiruo is transformed into the beautiful and kind-hearted Yang Tao. The story mainly revolves around Yang Tao, who is deceived and heartbroken, and rejects blind dates and love, thus delaying her and becoming an older single woman.

The story follows a woman who, under the relentless matchmaking arrangements of her mother, Xue Sumei, meets Guoran, an older man who is afraid of marriage. After a series of misunderstandings and entanglements, the two gradually come together.

The system gave him three days to prepare, so Li Mu simply didn't go anywhere and spent a little over two days watching the entire fifty-episode series.

Da Meiyuan is still so beautiful. Her portrayal of Zhou Zhiruo back then was truly stunning.

For that reason alone, we can't have made a wasted trip.

Chapter 60 Let's Get Married

Under the dim light, Li Mu opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings. There was a sofa, a wardrobe, and a coffee table. It was obviously a lounge, and he was taking a nap on the sofa.

As a wave of memories washed over him, it took him quite a while to sort them out. This time, he didn't become a character in the TV series.

He is still called Li Mu, and his appearance is about 80-90% similar to his real appearance, but he is much older. He is 31 years old this year and graduated from the Provincial Sports University.

According to his memory, Li Mu was an orphan from a young age. Due to his good athletic talent, he was selected to attend a sports school. When he was eleven or twelve years old, by chance, he was noticed by a Xingyiquan master and became his apprentice to learn Xingyiquan.

After that, he attended a sports school to receive professional training while also diligently practicing Xingyi Quan under the guidance of a master.

At the age of eighteen, he was selected for the provincial Sanda team and enrolled in the provincial sports university.

After five years in the provincial Sanda team, where he had won many honors and seemed to have a bright future, Li Mu felt empty and increasingly wanted to leave.

Compared to Sanda, which is purely a matter of technique and depends on who has the most strength, stamina, and reaction time, he prefers Xingyi, an internal martial art with a complete system that combines training and cultivation, and whose mastery can never be fully achieved in a lifetime.

After spending five years in the provincial Sanda team, Li Mu left with great nonchalance amidst the puzzled gazes of many.

Over the next three or four years, Li Mu traveled all over the country, visiting renowned teachers and exchanging ideas, while also enjoying the beautiful landscapes of his homeland.

Naturally, he also occasionally participates in small commercial events to earn some pocket money and travel expenses.

By the age of twenty-seven, after traveling to every city and every piece of land across the country and visiting renowned martial arts circles and like-minded individuals, Li Mu's restless heart finally yearned to settle down.

So he came to the capital.

Li Mu's independent and unconventional approach over the years has earned him some minor fame in the traditional martial arts circle, allowing him to successfully establish himself there.

Unfortunately, commercial martial arts competitions are not popular in China. Compared to foreign countries with their complete competition systems, where participants can achieve fame and fortune through competitions, China is far behind.

Most practitioners of martial arts and Sanda combat sports in China are facing the embarrassing situation of unemployment, no income, and no competitions to participate in.

Even though MMA events have shown some improvement in China in the past two years, their performance has been lackluster.

The world's four major boxing organizations have also had a lackluster development in China. They have not only failed to organize any influential events, but have also invested little in resources, leaving the country in a semi-stagnant state.

Even if someone manages to make a name for themselves domestically, it's like a flower blooming outside the wall but its fragrance lingers inside; they first establish themselves abroad and then bring their fame back to China.

However, even with fame, it's somewhat pathetic and laughable that one still can't make money by competing in domestic competitions and can only rely on appearing on variety shows and doing endorsements.

Affected by this environment, although Li Mu was quite skilled and participated in many commercial competitions in China, he could only earn a little money and win some trophies that were not very valuable. He was only slightly better off than the average person.

However, his reputation in the industry has gradually grown, and everyone knows that he mainly practices Xingyi Quan and has good kung fu skills.

Thanks to this reputation, three years ago, a large sports club that had just been established in the capital city had a dedicated traditional martial arts hall and invited Li Mu to serve as the head coach of Xingyi Quan.

The pay is pretty good, a little over 20,000 yuan per month after tax, which was quite considerable in 2011.

At the time, Li Mu was already twenty-eight years old and didn't want to run around competing to make a living, so after some consideration, he accepted the invitation.

Thus, over the past three years, he has settled down completely, working as the head coach of Xingyiquan at Shangdong Club, teaching boxing in his spare time, while also exchanging ideas with the local martial arts circle. After all, it is the capital city, a place where hidden talents abound, and there are still many masters.

Over the years, he has benefited greatly from this, and his Xingyi Quan has become increasingly proficient and profound.

……

After reviewing his personal information, Li Mu felt his strong body and powerful heartbeat, and a surge of confidence emanated from within.

His strong physique gave him great confidence, which is an innate quality hidden in human genes.

He got up, turned on the light in the lounge, got into position, and stretched his limbs a bit. To his surprise, Li Mu was able to use his refined Xingyi Quan skills with ease.

With a period of adjustment, it will be able to return to its proper state.

Men, after all, always have some fantasies about kung fu, and Li Mu is no exception.

The thought that this skill might be brought into reality through a reward fills me with anticipation; even if it can't be brought into reality, I'll still train diligently for two years based on my current skill level.

Back to reality, even just based on the memories of the past two years, it's still a huge gain.

For a moment, he felt a surge of excitement. He left the lounge and headed towards the training field.

There were hardly any people at the training ground at this time.

Li Mu stood in the center of the field, silently pondering for a moment. He started from the very basics and practiced everything he had learned from the beginning, further familiarizing himself with and mastering this skill.

He took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and performed a set of Three-Body Stance.

As the foundation and most important stance training of Xingyi Quan, the San Ti stance, also known as the "San Cai stance," refers to the three powers of heaven, earth, and man, and is the most important basic skill of Xingyi Quan.

It arranges the various parts of the human body into a complete and perfect posture according to the principles of Xingyi Quan, and all Xingyi Quan movements are inseparable from the basic principles of this posture.

Although various boxing styles are ever-changing, their principles and key points are consistent with the San Ti Shi (Three-Body Stance), hence the saying "all techniques originate from the San Ti Shi."

In fact, not only Xingyiquan, but also most martial arts styles in China require the practice of the San Ti Shi (Three-Body Stance) as a basic introductory skill.

In layman's terms, the Three-Body Stance trains the upper, middle, and lower body, and the force should be used to achieve unity among the three body parts, which is also known as whole-body power!

As a foundation, Li Mu has been practicing this Three-Body Stance since he was a child, for nearly twenty years, and is now extremely proficient in it.

At first, he was a little hesitant, but driven by his body's instincts and muscle memory, he became more and more proficient. With countless experiences and accumulated knowledge in his mind as a reference, he soon made it flow smoothly and full of charm.

This proves that the essence of the Three-Body Stance has been grasped.

After practicing several basic skills, Li Mu began to practice the Twelve Forms of Xingyi.

The Twelve Forms of Xingyi are fist techniques that imitate the life forms and fighting styles of twelve animals, including dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, alligator, chicken, swallow, hawk, snake, bird, eagle, and bear.

Li Mu primarily cultivates the Dragon and Tiger forms, while also practicing the other ten forms to some extent.

The dragon shape has the form of a descending dragon and the form of a dragon ascending to heaven; it also represents clouds, with clouds following the dragon, which is a powerful form.

The tiger form possesses the posture of a tiger leaving its den, as well as the courage to pounce on its prey; it is also the wind, which follows the tiger, and in the fist it becomes the tiger's pounce, rising and falling without being seen.

His movements were simple and unpretentious, a simple bending and stretching. He stood upright and walked steadily, "stepping like a plow, landing like taking root," firm yet not stiff, gentle yet not weak.

The set of boxing techniques was simple and grand, full of ancient charm, and subtly showed the style of a master.

After finishing the set of punches, Li Mu took a deep breath and stood there steadily. He could hardly believe that he had actually performed that set of punches.

With complete memories and experience, he knew it was real. Although he still lacked some experience, it was also due to his subjective thinking that he hadn't yet adapted to his current identity.

After a while, once you've fully adapted, your skills will become more refined.

Even now, Li Mu's confidence is stronger than ever; he can take on ten people at once.

No… hit twenty.

Chapter 61 Space

The entire afternoon, Li Mu was familiarizing himself with his kung fu, occasionally offering a few pointers based on his memories and experience.

As the head coach of Xingyiquan, he has several assistant coaches under him, so he doesn't have to do everything himself. He can arrange his time freely, which is quite leisurely.

After get off work, Li Mu, as usual, took a shower, changed his clothes, greeted everyone, and headed outside.

Goodbye, Master Li.

"See you tomorrow, Master Li!"

Li Mu glanced back at the students, coaches, and staff, and nodded.

"See you tomorrow."

He doesn't live far away, in a neighborhood near the club, about a kilometer away on foot.

He grabbed a packed dinner on the way and hurried home. Besides martial arts, there was something else quite intriguing waiting for him to test.

Li Mu lived in a two-bedroom apartment, which was naturally rented. He was a wanderer and didn't pay much attention to his personal life and enjoyment, devoting most of his energy and time to martial arts.
