I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

I'm starting to like Jiangnan!

Wang Zuxian felt that he and she were kindred spirits.

As soon as an opportunity arises, they will seize it with all their might, like a lion hunting a rabbit.

Therefore, after Huo Wenxi left, Wang Zuxian appeared at the door of room 206 and asked Jiang Nan to treat her to dinner.

It wasn't really for the food; she just wanted to share some insider information that ordinary people didn't know with Jiangnan, who had just entered the entertainment industry.

For example, the reason why Yang Dengkui was willing to spend HK$1200 million to let Wang Jing remake "Shaolin Five Ancestors" was not because Wang Jing was so great that his movies could always make a profit.

Yang Dengkui liked Li Lianjie, but this liking wasn't romantic; it was more of a mutual appreciation within the underworld.

Yang Dengkui came from a humble background, served time in prison, and made his way up through sheer hard work; Li Lianjie came from mainland China, ventured to Hong Kong, and repeatedly encountered contract disputes and underworld troubles, all of which he had to endure on his own.

Both of them had experienced hardship, acted decisively and kept their promises, and understood each other well.

Therefore, if you want to win over Li Lianjie, it's not enough for Huo Wenxi to impress the fat man; you also need to persuade Yang Dengkui, who is currently squatting in the corner of the yard worrying.

I didn't go out to eat.

The Fangqinglou Guesthouse has an internal canteen with a simple layout, consisting of three private rooms and a main hall for individual guests.

The lobby for individual guests is not large, with a dozen or so wooden tables and chairs, a cement floor, and white walls. There are no fancy decorations on the walls. During the day, the natural light comes from the windows, and the lighting is ordinary fluorescent tubes.

Jiangnan likes to sit by the window.

After entering the canteen and ordering from the head chef, he sat down opposite Wang Zuxian, chatting and watching with great interest as Li Lianjie practiced his spear skills in the courtyard.

"Young man, what did you order?"

Wang Zuxian's smile had a hint of slyness.

She wanted to see if Jiangnan's efforts were worth her help.

"Braised fish, braised chicken, stewed tofu..."

"That's it?"

Seeing that Jiang Nan stopped talking at this point, Wang Zuxian was a little disappointed.

It seems this younger brother is similar to her ex-boyfriend Qi Qin; both are self-righteous and don't care about the thoughts and feelings of those around them.

But to everyone's surprise, Jiangnan suddenly stuck his head over.

"Director Wang Jing wanted to eat crabs, so yesterday he asked the cafeteria chef to buy him some fresh ones, but today, Director Wang is clearly not in the mood to eat them."

"so what?"

Wang Zuxian's eyes lit up instantly.

That brat is actually quite good; at least he remembers that he really likes eating crabs, and that I treated him to crabs last time on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei.

"I'll charge you an extra 10 yuan per one, and I'll grab four for you." With that, Jiangnan gestured towards the outside.

"But you'd better eat quickly, lest Director Wang Jing see you."

"Mmm..."

Wang Zuxian nodded vigorously with a beaming smile.

"Don't worry, little brother!"

I can peel crabs really fast; I can definitely finish four crabs in less than 10 minutes.

But if you want to poach Li Lianjie's men, the first person you need to win over is Yang Dengkui, and to win over Yang Dengkui, you need to focus on Chen Songyong..."

Jiangnan knows how to get along with people.

Wang Zuxian naturally didn't hide anything. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people in the lobby, she poured out her heart, clearly dissecting the relationship between producer Yang Dengkui, director Wang Jing, kung fu star Li Lianjie, and Chen Songyong, who played Lei Laohu in "Fong Sai-yuk".

Jiangnan didn't speak, but listened attentively.

Only after the chef brought out four enormous crabs did he signal Wang Zuxian to hurry up and start eating.

"Little brother..."

"Um?"

What are your thoughts?

Wang Zuxian skillfully peeled crabs, and while doing so, it didn't interfere with her conversation at all.

"What other ideas could there be!"

Jiang Nan shrugged and said, "Their relationship is already so strong, even if I try to get on good terms with Yang Dengkui's underling Chen Songyong, it probably won't make much of a difference."

"So?" Wang Zuxian asked curiously.

"So I don't plan to compete for the role anymore. After lunch, I went to practice shooting with Jet Li."

I have some knowledge of the Yang family's pear blossom spear technique, and to some extent, I could be a sparring partner for this kung fu star.

"What a pity..."

Seeing that Jiang Nan gave up so easily, Wang Zuxian was a little disappointed. You know, she had spent seven whole days shopping with Shi Nansheng in order to win the role of "Nie Xiaoqian".

However, before Wang Zuxian could finish speaking, her eyes lit up instantly.

Hey bro, you're pretty good!

Knowing that Boss Yang values ​​relationships the most, you start to cater to his preferences.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Martial arts…

Especially in performance-oriented martial arts, which are essentially fixed routines, you have to practice a lot to make them look good. Once you develop muscle memory, you can basically become a top performer in the industry.

Hung Kam-po was like that;

Chenglong is like this;

This is especially true of Li Lianjie;

However, Li Lianjie has been having some bad luck lately.

I don't know what happened, but the martial arts routines I've practiced for decades suddenly stopped working. Not only did they lack any aesthetic appeal, but they were also extremely tiring to perform.

In the past, throwing a punch was stylish and elegant; now, it's all about thinking faster than acting.

Just like this big spear in my hand, I held it with one hand. I was thinking of thrusting, but the result was that the spearhead kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

Li Lianjie is a person who never admits defeat.

This was true when I was young, and it's even more true now.

Hasn't muscle memory disappeared?

I started practicing again and continued until I mastered it.

While he was practicing, Li Lianjie suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw a man and a woman walking out of the inner canteen. The two of them came into the courtyard and stood not far away, watching him practice shooting.

"Oh, it's Jiangnan?"

I'm a little tired.

Li Lianjie stopped what he was doing and greeted Jiang Nan.

To be honest, he had a good impression of Jiang Nan. Some time ago, Wang Jing had been trying to get Jiang Nan to be his stand-in, but the guy just wouldn't do it.

Well… it’s mainly about saving face as a kung fu superstar.

"Jiangnan, I heard that Director Tsui is no longer filming 'Once Upon a Time in China III,' but instead is filming 'Arrogance,' a story you provided?"

"Yes, Brother Jie!"

This small matter couldn't be hidden from the colleagues.

It's worth noting that filming for "Arrogant" will begin tomorrow, and the two film crews are even staying at the same guesthouse.

"Brother Jie, after watching for a while, I found that the Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear you practiced seems to be a little different from what I learned before."

When I was practicing with the spear, my master told me that to master the Yang Family Pear Blossom Spear, I must memorize the key points: the interplay of feints and real attacks, the interplay of the orthodox and the unorthodox, the sharpness of advances and the speed of retreats, the danger of sudden movements and the brevity of execution, immovability like a mountain, and the thunderous force of action.

Speaking of which, Jiangnan didn't mince words.

He walked over, took the spear from Li Lianjie, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the spear suddenly began to flick and dance. The spear tip flashed several afterimages in all directions, its red tassels fluttering like pear blossoms blooming in the sky, a dazzling display of spear shadows, layer upon layer of feints…

……

"Wang Jing..."

"Wang Jing..."

Wang Jing, the screenwriter and director of the films "The Kung Fu Cult Master" and "The New Legend of Shaolin," is standing in the courtyard, deep in thought.

The end of the year is approaching, and two movies are about to be released, but filming has been suspended.

This would infuriate anyone.

But no matter how angry he was, the sensible fat man didn't dare to vent his anger on Boss Yang, so he suppressed his anger and put on a smiling face.

"Mr. Yang, what's wrong?"

"Who is that young man?"

Yang Dengkui pointed to Jiangnan Road, where people were practicing shooting in the courtyard.

"If all else fails, we can make him Jay's stand-in!"

"Oh, his name is Jiangnan."

He is a singer. The song "Single Love Song" that you were humming while eating breakfast today is his work. It is said that this album sold very well in Taiwan.

In 4 hours, sales exceeded 40 copies.

I had considered having him as Jay Chou's stunt double, but Tsui Hark beat me to it and signed him to play Wong Fei-hung…”

Since he didn't have much of an appetite, Wang Jing started chatting idly with Yang Dengkui.
