Chapter 99 Tai Chi Thirteen Spears

On September 8, the 19th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the [-]th China Film Golden Rooster Awards officially announced the nomination list."Not One Less", which just won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, was shortlisted for Best Feature Film and Best Director, not surprisingly.

One more thing, last year's ex-girlfriend's "Homecoming for the New Year" was also shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival that just ended not long ago, and won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director.

However, "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", which was also shortlisted for this year's Cannes Film Festival, lost almost all important awards, and was only shortlisted for a series of technical awards such as best photography, best editing, best art, and best recording.

In fact, this big-name, huge-investment movie received constant criticism once it was released. The reason is nothing more than the fact that Director Chen's last work "Farewell My Concubine" was the first, and everyone had high expectations for this movie.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Li Tang has watched these two films. Personally, "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is very good, especially the performances of the actors in it are remarkable.

What impressed him the most was the scene when Wang Zhiwen, who claimed to be "afraid of heights", was erected on the city wall by Qin Wangzheng, made him walk on a wooden board trembling, and shouted: "Whatever the king says is what it is." , Let Li Tang be overwhelmed.

In his opinion, whether it is Li Xuejian who plays Qin Wangzheng, or Wang Zhiwen who plays Lai Ai, they are both worthy of a nomination for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor.

In contrast, he fell asleep halfway through "Not One Less" directed by Zhang Yimou.

But to his delight, as Naian boasted before, both he and Yuan Quan were shortlisted for the Best Actor and Actor of this year's Golden Rooster Awards by virtue of "Shanghai Chronicle".

Yuan Quan was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award for "Spring Rhapsody".Moreover, there are only two nominees for this award, so there is great hope of winning.

After the nomination list was announced, Li Tang received countless calls, including encouragement from the leaders of the Drama Center and Shanghai Film Studio, as well as congratulations from classmates and friends.

Xu Guangtou always had a sour tone, yelling for him to treat him when he returned to Shanghai.Zhou Xun also called to express his congratulations despite his busy schedule.

She is really busy and has been filming TV series outside. Since the last visit to the set, the two have not seen each other for more than a year. Recently, I heard that they are filming another film about the emotional entanglement between the famous poet Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi, Lin Huiyin and Lu Xiaoman. TV series "April Day on Earth".

"Li Tang, congratulations!"

"Xiao Li, it's incredible, try to win the Best Actor Award!"

"Brother Li, you have to treat me!"

Congratulations from everyone in the crew.

When Li Tang was happy, he waved his hand and said, "I'll treat you to KFC at noon!"

"it is good!"

Everyone was very happy, it was rare to have some foreign fast food for a change after getting used to box lunch.

Moreover, foreign fast food is not cheap these days. A hamburger, chicken nuggets, french fries and a cup of Coke cost at least 20 yuan.

Today happened to be Li Tang's last scene. Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he discussed with senior Lu and moved his role ahead of schedule.After filming in the morning, I ate KFC with everyone, which is considered a wrap-up feast, and in the afternoon, I packed my luggage and returned to the city.

There was a lot of wind and sand here in the capital. The last time Zhang Jizhong and his wife were invited to dinner, he came back to live for two days. In just half a month, a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the floor and furniture of the house.

Li Tang cleaned up the house, and Wu Jing drove over in his second-hand Jetta around four o'clock in the afternoon.

"So early? I plan to go out and buy some mooncakes and fruits."

Today I made an appointment to visit Wu Jing's house. I have already bought cigarettes, alcohol, health care products and other gifts. For the Mid-Autumn Festival, the only thing I didn't buy was moon cakes and fruits.

"No, don't buy it. There are a lot of them from my parents' workplace, and I can't finish them. I have to ask you to take some away later."

Wu Jing saw Li Tang take out two Zhonghua cigarettes and two bottles of Wuliangye from the room, and said again: "I like to drink Moutai."

Li Tang rolled his eyes and said, "I gave it to uncle, not for you to drink."

A bottle of Moutai 220, Wuliangye 358 yuan, of course you have to buy Wuliangye.

Wu Jing's family lives in Dongdan, not far from Paoju Hutong, but because of the traffic jam, it took nearly 10 minutes to stop and go.

"Uncle, aunt, hello everyone, I'm Brother Jing's friend Li Tang!"

As soon as he entered, Li Tang bowed politely.

"Ah, Li Tang, come in and sit down, your child is here right away, what else do you bring?"

Wu Jing's parents were very enthusiastic, especially Wu's mother took him up and down to look him up and down, and exclaimed: "The real person is more handsome than the TV!"

Wu Jing's facial features are as long as Wu's mother, and her face is like Wu's father.Father Wu also has a baby face, looking much younger than Lao Li.

As soon as Wu Jing came up, he bragged about Li Tang, his friend is awesome, and he also has face.

In fact, in terms of popularity, Li Tang is worse than Wu Jing, but Li Tang can be regarded as a small star now, especially Wu's father and Wu mother heard that Li Tang won the Huabiao Film Newcomer Award and was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. See Li Tang's eyes changed.The old couple are both within the system, and they attach great importance to things like honor.

Father Wu looked at his son with disgust on his face and said, "What do you think you're doing, you're taking pictures of things that don't make sense, learn from Li Tang."

Wu Jing looked resentfully at Li Tang, who was talking and laughing with her father, and felt that she was sloppy this time, so she shouldn't bring this guy as a guest at home.

This feeling is like when I brought the study committee members of my class to play at home when I was a child, and my father taught him in this tone at that time.

"Brother Jing is very good at martial arts. The kung fu movies he made are actually promoting our Chinese martial arts culture. I think Brother Jing will definitely be another Kung Fu superstar after Bruce Lee, Li Lianlian, and Cheng Long in the future." Li Tang said sincerely .

Both of them are currently young actors, so it is necessary to flatter and improve each other.

"Hey, I don't dare to have such high expectations for him. If he wins an award in a serious manner in the future, I will be thankful." Father Wu waved his hand and said modestly.

Having said that, his face was already full of joy.After all, his son is good at home, and Wu Jing's father has had great expectations for this son since he was a child.There are tens of thousands of children who learn martial arts, but how many of them can win the national martial arts championship like Wu Jing, and how many can go to Hong Kong to act as the leading actor?
"Xiao Li, I heard that you can also kung fu?" Father Wu asked kindly.

Li Tang can still pretend in front of laymen, but he never dares to pretend in front of Father Wu. He hurriedly said: "I just like it, but I didn't have a chance to learn it since I was a child, so I just played a few casually."

Maybe Li Tang had blown him too hard just now, Wu Jing was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "This guy has practiced Sanda, and he is very good. I have fought against him, and I didn't take advantage of it."

When Father Wu heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He knew how much his son weighed.He looked at Li Tang carefully again, reached out and touched Li Tang's arm, nodded regretfully and said, "It's a good seedling, it's a pity."

"Father, last time I told you that the ash rod was for him." Wu Jing said again.

"Oh, Xiao Li, you still practice big guns?"

"No, I'm learning from Brother Jing now. Brother Jing said that learning a big gun is difficult, and I want to try." Li Tang said a little shyly.

Father Wu turned his head and asked Wu Jing: "What marksmanship are you going to teach Xiao Li?"

"Of course it's Wu Mu's thirteen spears, and Zhao Zilong's eighteen spears are all fake ones." Wu Jing said in a whisper.

Father Wu said contemptuously, "You haven't learned Wumu's thirteen guns yet, so what can you teach others? Why don't you teach Tai Chi guns?"

"what?"

Wu Jing was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Tai Chi Spear is not a unique skill handed down in our family, it can't be passed on to outsiders!"

Father Wu smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of family skills are needed these days, if they are not passed on to the outside world, they will be lost."

Li Tang was taken aback when he heard this. He had only heard of Tai Chi swords and Tai Chi knives, but he had never heard of Tai Chi spears.

He tentatively asked: "Is this Tai Chi gun easy to learn?"

Under the signal of Wu's father's eyes, Wu Jing immediately shouted again: "Our Wu family's Taiji gun is also called Taiji Thirteen Guns. It is divided into four scattered guns, four sticky guns, four thrown guns and wrapped guns. The so-called four scattered guns The first shot is called distraction, and it stabs like a strange python; the second shot: the crane shakes its head and stabs its shoulders obliquely; the third shot: the kite flutters the bird and stabs its feet; the fourth shot: the flying swallow throws its nest and stabs the surface. The so-called sticky four gun……"

"...The so-called entanglement of the gun all the way, take the meaning of sticking and sticking, and use it to not lose or top, lightly entangled, it is the ever-changing prime minister!"

Wu Jing spoke eloquently, but Li Tang couldn't understand a word.But although I didn't understand it, I always felt very powerful.

In the end, he shook his head and said: "Our family's Wu-style Tai Chi Thirteen Spears is easy to learn, and it's not easy to learn if it's not easy to learn. It's similar to Wu Mu's Thirteen Spears. The key is to practice the basic skills first, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort."

As he said that, he turned his head and asked Father Wu again: "Dad, did you get the gun barrel?"

Father Wu was a little embarrassed and said: "I contacted your Uncle Wang. He hasn't got any good goods recently, so we have to wait for a while."

Li Tang originally thought that the so-called gun shaft was just a piece of wood, and it was no big deal, but after hearing what Father Wu said, it seemed that it was not that simple, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay, uncle, don't worry."

When he said this, Father Wu couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Li, this is the first time you come to the door, uncle can't let you go empty-handed. Come, come!"

After speaking, he went outside the house and took out a long strip of things wrapped in oilcloth from under the eaves.

After opening it, it was a white wax rod as white as jade.

"Dad, this is my gun barrel. I haven't used it yet." Wu Jing said anxiously when he came out.

"Go, go, go, you don't come home all day long, so let Xiao Li practice first."

Father Wu picked up this white wax pole, good guy, it's more than three meters long.And full of tenacity, I saw Dad Wu shake it lightly, and a few gun flowers came out.It's just that the Wu family's yard is not big, so it's really hard to use it.
