This star is too fierce

"What's going on? When I woke up, all the news was that my second brother was going to compete in the UFC. Is it true or false?"

“The information published on the UFC’s official website cannot be false.”

"Second brother is boxing, why is this so mysterious?"

"Yes, there is a big difference between acting and actual combat. Even if you fight a few gangsters and robbers, it is not comparable to professional players."

"Let's put it this way, those so-called action superstars and kung fu stars who can't last a round in the professional arena will be beaten to shit."

"One is that everyone cooperates to perform in front of the camera, and the other is a physical fight with fists. They are not on the same level at all."

"Second brother's decision was too hasty. Playing the role of a hero or a master was too deep into the role."

"You know, there is no Chinese fighter in the UFC so far, because as a sport of mixed martial arts, we are in its infancy and lagging far behind."

"You are so unfounded. My second brother is not a fool, and not everyone can fight in the UFC. Since it has passed, it must be that the strength has met the requirements."

"That's right, let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, we'll see!"

……

Fans, passers-by, their discussions were extremely heated.

Some people think that Lu Bu is acting like a demon and has become distracted. He doesn't know how much he weighs and wants to embarrass himself.

Some people believe that Lu Bu has actual combat strength and wants to open the door to the UFC from China.

All in all, it was so noisy.

This incident has also attracted the attention of Chinese mixed martial arts professional players. A late start does not mean that there is no such thing. There are still many young people who love this sport and are working hard for it, striving to one day enter the main competition.

Their views are equally polarizing.

"The wonders of the world."

"Haha, the actor can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality."

……

"There's something that actually allows me to participate in the Dana White Challenge."

"I heard it passed the UFC's test."

……

"Rumors say, he KOed the Bear King with one move."

"The credibility is [-]%. Marokov came to Yanjing. Whether or how to fight is unknown."

……

Some people think that Lu Bu participated in the Dana White Challenge, which was mainly entertainment and was just to hype up the popularity.

Some people believe that Lu Bu has taken an important step for Chinese mixed martial arts and deserves encouragement and appreciation.

Anyway, we are all waiting to watch the show.

Also, some associations and forums related to traditional martial arts began to analyze and boast about Lu Bu, and popularized the practicality and offensive power of traditional martial arts.

Because whenever "Chinese martial arts" and "Chinese Kung Fu" are mentioned, many Chinese people will feel proud and have a hint of regret from the bottom of their hearts.

On the one hand, martial arts, as a highly ornamental and intimidating "Oriental fighting art", has become China's unique cultural label and national business card. The powerful, mysterious and elusive "Chinese martial arts" has not only attracted many people to Domestic teenagers who have been influenced by martial arts culture are yearning for it, and it has also fascinated countless foreigners who have experienced the charm of Chinese martial arts.

But on the other hand, when Western boxing, wrestling, fencing, Japanese and Korean judo, taekwondo and other fighting sports have become official Olympic sports, China, which was born earlier than them, has richer technologies and a larger system, Wushu is still outside the Olympic system.

What is even more frustrating is that in recent years, especially as the sport of mixed martial arts has become more and more popular around the world, Chinese martial arts, which are invincible in movies but lack cases in actual combat, have been questioned and impacted to a certain extent. Many doubts The author believes that MMA, which allows wrestling, grappling, punches, elbows and knees, and even shoulder collisions and crotch strikes, is exactly what Chinese martial arts have been dreaming of. However, there are no Chinese athletes in top events like UFC. It seems to prove the powerlessness of Chinese Kung Fu in reality.

Now, Lu Bu suddenly wants to participate in the UFC competition, which is an opportunity for traditional martial arts to completely get rid of doubts.

However, this beautiful wish can only be achieved if Lu Bu uses traditional martial arts to win.

However, this does not conflict with their promotion of traditional martial arts.

As the person involved, Lu Bu noticed an abnormality on his way to the CCTV building to attend the last gala screening of the Spring Festival Gala, and the number of paparazzi being tracked increased significantly.

He knew it was caused by participating in the UFC Dana White Challenge, but there was nothing he could do to stop it.

I have a headache. At this point in time, I am afraid I will have to spend the New Year alone.

"Second brother."

As soon as Lu Bu entered the backstage, he met Huang Shengyi. The two were old acquaintances, after all, they had collaborated before.

"Are you done rehearsing?"

"It's not my turn yet."

Last year, Huang Shengyi and Liang Yongqi sang "Everyday Upward", wearing a cheap plastic pink wig and a yellow sequined tight skirt, which was completely incompatible with the Spring Festival Gala atmosphere. Many netizens felt that the bold color matching was very cliché. .

This year, she went to the Spring Festival Gala again and sang a song solo. This time she wore a pink cake skirt and pink mesh gloves, like she was in COS Peppa Pig.

It is really surprising that she can attend the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years.

After chatting for a while, Lu Bu slipped away on the pretext of going to put on makeup. After walking for a while, he met Tong Yaya.

"Yiya."

Tong Yaya didn't even notice Lu Bu. When she saw it was him, she immediately put on a light smile on her face and said, "Second brother, you are here."

Lu Bu looked at the Uyghur clothes she was wearing and immediately praised: "Your look is very beautiful today."

Tong Yaya said happily: "Thank you."

This is also the second time she has attended the Spring Festival Gala. The first time was in 2006. The program was the dance "A Dream of Dunhuang, Fairy Flying to the Sky" that Lu Bu participated in planning. This year it was still a dance, but it was replaced by a dance by ethnic minorities.

After the hit "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", her popularity has surpassed that of Liu Yifei, and even surpassed Yang Mi and Liu Shishi behind. There will be several movies and TV series to be released this year. It can be said that she is firmly in the 85th position. The last four Xiaohuadan take the top spot.

She is one of the potential artists under Mengjiang Media, and she is worthy of Lu Bu and Yu Feihong's training in her.

Today is the last rehearsal and all the participating stars have arrived.

There are a lot of acquaintances, such as Chenglong, Zhou Jialun, Rong Zuer, etc. Naturally, a while of greetings is indispensable.

Lu Bu chatted with Zhou Jilun the longest, and the topics focused on singing and filming.

Zhou Jialun's new album "Capricorn" this year has sold 200 million copies in Asia and won the annual sales championship without any suspense. Although the box office of the movie "Slam Dunk" was not as good as last year's "The City of Golden Armor" ", but the investment is not at the same level. The total box office of 1.52 million is already very high.

Lu Bu did not arrange a song. He planned to find different people to write the theme song and the ending song of the trilogy, with different styles.

The first part is the combination of [Zhou Jialun + Fang Wushui], and the second part lets [Hu Song] take the lead alone.

Of course, the focus is still on Chinese style.Time passed quickly, and the rehearsals of the programs one after another were completed.

This time, not only Lu Bu's solo was added, but also the chorus program of Song Zuying and Zhou Jialun, as well as the chorus program of Baodao singers such as Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian, Luo Dayou, Zhang Zhenyue, etc., and the Xiangjiang singers who had not appeared in previous rehearsals also They all took the stage.

Moreover, this year’s Spring Festival Gala song programs all feature real singing. In the early rehearsals, some singers with poor live performance have been eliminated.

In this regard, chief director Lang Kun said that real singing not only brings pressure to the singers, but also brings considerable challenges to the director and the on-site technical team.

As for Lu Bu, he has always followed the route of giving priority to emotion and supplementing with skills. The thing he is least afraid of is real singing.

Although he understands the importance of lip-syncing for some large parties, he is still not ashamed of it.

The rest of the time, he was watching other people's performances.

Since they are going to be on stage, most of the programs cannot be watched live on TV, so I just took a sneak peek.

This year, language programs are the top priority of the entire party, with a total of six sketches and three cross talk programs.

Although some media reported that the level of Zhao Benshan's sketches was not as good as in previous years, the shrewd Benshan always leaves one or two "baggage" to show off on stage. This time "Not Short of Money" is hilarious; Guo Da and Cai Ming's "BJ" "Welcome" is unique. Judging from the response from rehearsals, the humor is on par with last year's "Why?" 》It's half a catty; "Underwater New Year's Eve" is of a positive energy nature, and it interprets the soldiers' homesickness well...

Crosstalk has not changed the sluggish situation in recent years. Jiang Kun made his debut after several years away from the Spring Festival Gala. The baggage of Jiang-style humor seems to be "shaking", but it is old wine in new bottles; the same situation is also seen in the group crosstalk "Five Senses New Talk" ", compared with the classic work "Five Senses Strive for Merit", there is a huge difference...

The more surprising programs are undoubtedly the performance of "Compendium of Materia Medica" + "Hot Girl" by Zhou Jialun and Song Zuying, and the magic "Magic Hand Magic Color" by Liu Qian and Dong Qing, who has first-class visual experience.

As for Lu Bu's own solo "Tomorrow Will Be Better", it was arranged simply based on its high popularity. In terms of stunningness, it was far less impressive than when he sang "Thousands of Miles Away" with Zhou Jialun at the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.

This is one of the reasons why he is reluctant to attend the Spring Festival Gala. He no longer has the sense of freshness and cannot bring more surprises to the audience.

From now on, he won't be so easy to talk to.

After the rehearsal, Lu Bu invited a group of old acquaintances to have dinner. It was already midnight when he returned to the small courtyard.

Right now, he was alone here, Xu Wei and the others had gone home to celebrate the New Year.

The loneliness was actually something he brought upon himself. He wanted so many girlfriends, but he was afraid of being made public if he wanted them.

Seriously, happiness and pain coexist.

After taking a shower, I went to the study room, turned on the computer, and video chatted with Yu Feihong and the others one by one.

After that, I wandered around on the Internet.

As of yesterday, "Yangtze River No. 2.03" and "If You Are the One" were released. The former had a box office of 3.25 million and the latter had a box office of [-] million.

At this point, the 2008 annual box office champion was announced, and "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" won the championship with 5.09 million.

Lu Bu has once again demonstrated extremely high box office appeal in the film industry, and is well deserved to be the No. 1 young actor.

After swiping and swiping, I got to the "2008 Chinese Celebrity List" published by the famous business magazine "Forbes".

His name was at the top of the list.

Overall first: Lu Bu

Income Rank: 1
Exposure Rank: 1
Reasons for being on the list: "Da Fengxian" has blossomed in film and television music in all directions, and continues to win the championship in terms of revenue and exposure.

……

Except for Lu Bu, three of the top five are world-class athletes and one is a world-class actor. This shows that there is a huge income gap between the world and domestic income.

This time last year, Lu Bu claimed the top spot in the "4.1 Chinese Celebrity List" with 2007 million yuan. At that time, Yao Min's income was 2.6 million yuan, and Liu Xiang's income was only 5600 million yuan. One Lu Bu is equivalent to 1.5 Yao Min and 4.48 Liu Xiang.

In 2008, Yao Min's number surged to 3.8 million, and Liu Xiang's number surged to 1.6 million, but he was still left behind by his 7.7 million.

The reason is that as the "Olympic Year" of 2008 approaches, the sports industry has received increasing attention. As a new representative of Chinese sports, Lu Bu has won the recognition and favor of many advertisers with his outstanding charm. Coupled with the huge salary in the three industries of film, television and music, as well as the high share of investment in other industries, it is normal for his income to rise exponentially.

"Their estimates last year were quite accurate."

The figure of 7.7 million is quite different from Lu Bu's actual income, but this is before tax, and will be greatly reduced after it is handed over.

Moreover, he owns two or three properties in several big cities, as well as two large and one small courtyard houses, as well as a five-story office building in Yanjing.

If you include savings, you are worth 20 billion.

"It seems that small goals can be upgraded to big goals, starting with earning 10 billion a year."

Making money is one of Lu Bu's few interests.

Because I am too busy, I don’t spend much every year.

After finishing filming his trilogy, he will have to stop working for a while, at least for more than half a year, to enjoy life.

2009, January 1, New Year’s Eve.

Lu Bu went to the CCTV building early. There was a program before the Spring Festival Gala and an interview with a CCTV reporter.

When the Spring Festival Gala started in the evening, his show was on the sixth one and he left right after the performance.

Outside, red lanterns were hung high, but there were not many pedestrians.

Yes, they were all having New Year's Eve dinner at home, watching the Spring Festival Gala, playing mahjong, and whoever had nothing to do ran out to hang out.

He drove around aimlessly, then went to the small courtyard to change clothes and the car, and then returned to the big courtyard.

However, when he opened the door, he found that the lights in several rooms were on. They had obviously been turned off after putting away the New Year's goods yesterday.

Wouldn't it be recruiting thieves?
Kind of like laughing.

What stupid, blind thief dares to steal from him!

I saw him closing the door gently and just about to check, when he suddenly heard the sound of cooking, he walked towards the kitchen.

"Feihong?" (End of this chapter)
