Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 19 The Hard Jiu-Jitsu Lesson
On Hong Kong Island in December, the weather is no longer muggy.

Zhang Yang zipped up the jacket he was wearing, got off the bus, looked around, and muttered in a low voice.

"This should be it..."

"Yangzi!"

Accompanied by a call, Zhang Yang followed the call.

At the corner of the street, Miao Kexiu, wearing a hat and sunglasses, was waving at him from a distance.

Zhang Yang hurried forward and nodded.

"Hi, Ms. Miao."

"You kid, haven't you finished shooting the movie? Why do you think of looking for me now?"

Facing Miao Kexiu's question, Zhang Yang replied with a smile: "I didn't make a special trip to express my gratitude to Sister Miao, and I have something else I want to ask Sister Miao..."

"Please teach me? It's about acting again." Miao Keyiu asked curiously while leading the way.

"This time it's not about acting, but I have an immature idea and I want to ask for advice."

"You, where do you come from so many weird ideas?"

While talking, Miao Kexiu had already led Zhang Yang into the building.

Taking the elevator up to the eighth floor, Miao Kexiu took out the key, opened the door of her own room, and entered the house first.

"This is a temporary place for me to manage the store. It's a bit small inside, so don't mind too much."

Zhang Yang followed him into the house, glanced at the space in the living room and couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips.

This room, with the living room alone, is at least nearly [-] to [-] square meters. It is much larger than the stuffy dormitory she had in Chen Yijie Boxing Gym. Miao Kexiu would still feel that this kind of house is small. I wonder if she lives there normally. In what kind of place.

After all, he is a movie star who has been famous for many years, so his standards are really different.

"Come and sit, what are you still doing?" Zhang Yang came to sit on the sofa under Miao Kexiu's kind greeting.

Miao Kexiu poured the tea and asked, "Yangzi, just now you said I wanted to ask you something, what is it?"

Bringing up the business, Zhang Yang hurriedly sorted out the messy thoughts in his head before speaking.

"Sister Miao, the boxing gym where I usually train now has plans to open new courses. I want to open a special training class for actors. It is mainly responsible for teaching some fighting movements in movies. Are you in this circle? You have high qualifications and a wide network of contacts, so I wanted to ask you first, whether people in the circle would be interested in such a course, and whether there is a need to hold this class."

Zhang Yang took the tea cup from Miao Kexiu and explained his general idea along the lines of his previous thoughts.

After Miao Kexiu listened, she didn't rush to speak, but stared at Zhang Yang with a smile.

"Yang Zi, do you want me to help you find interested customers in the circle?"

After all, she was someone who had been in the industry for many years. Even though Zhang Yang was telling the truth, she was still keenly aware of Zhang Yang's true intentions and directly revealed Zhang Yang's background with a smile.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhang Yang has no need to pretend anymore, he simply nodded and admitted.

"Yes, I also have this idea. After all, Sister Miao is such a reliable person. If you are willing to help me, it would be great."

After being praised several times by Zhang Yang, the smile on Miao Kexiu's face became even brighter, but she did not rush to agree. Instead, she went on to say to Zhang Yang: "Yangzi, you want to start classes, I don't have any objection, but If you want me to help promote it, do you have to first let me know what you plan to teach in this class? After all, when I recommend it to others, I can't know everything, right?"

"That's no problem, Sister Miao. My plan for this class is mainly to teach some Kung Fu movements with genre characteristics. This includes not only the content of traditional martial arts, but also the more popular foreign boxing such as Western Boxing and Muay Thai. technique, if you are interested in something, I can demonstrate it to you right now."

Miao Kexiu thought for a moment after hearing the words, and then said, "The one you and Zhou Bili used on the set last time..."

"You mean jujitsu?"

"That's right, it's jujitsu, I want to learn this!"

"No problem, Sister Miao, let's just sit on this carpet, and I will teach you the movements bit by bit."

Miao Kexiu followed Zhang Yang to the carpet in the middle of the living room, where they faced each other and sat cross-legged.

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand, first gently pushed Miao Kexiu down, and then raised his fist to press him down.

"Sister Miao, this is called upper position riding. In Jiu-Jitsu, the opponent can punch and attack in this target position, which is very dangerous. In order to prevent the opponent from exerting force, you lift your legs and stack them behind my waist. Together, yes, that's right. This state is a fully closed defense from the lower position. These two movements are the most basic and classic offensive and defensive positions of Jiu-Jitsu..."

"Yes, Sister Miao, use your hands to wrap the back of my head and press it into your arms. This will limit my punch attack."

"Why is your face so red, is it too hot in the room?"

"Wait a minute, this is the collar triangle lock, not stripping... Hey, wait until I finish!"

"Hey, sister Miao, it's a foul to stretch your hand here!"

……

Jiu-jitsu is indeed a very physically demanding sport.

After three long hours, a disheveled Zhang Yang walked out of the building and once again confirmed his thoughts.

Zhang Yang tightened the zipper of his jacket and took a deep breath.

Although Sister Miao was very satisfied with the course, Zhang Yang couldn't trust her.

After all, if the people she introduces are all for this teaching process, Zhang Yang is not sure if he will make money or not, but even with his physical fitness, he will definitely not be able to bear it in the end.

What is a bone-scraping steel knife? From the 29-year-old sister Miao, Zhang Yang has a deep understanding.

Sure enough, if you really want to get things done, you still have to find Chen Huimin.

With his contacts, he should be able to introduce many students to the boxing gym.

With this thought in mind, Zhang Yang boarded the bus again and headed straight to Eagle Film Company.

When we arrived at the company, the sky outside had completely darkened.

However, in normal days, the company's leisurely scene is different. When Zhang Yang came over this time, the second floor of the company was still brightly lit.

Climbing up the stairs and pushing open the door, the scene of chickens and dogs jumping in the office area immediately rushed towards my face.

The two illustrators who were in charge of designing the poster were arguing endlessly. In the editing room in the corner room, there was the chaotic sound of film editing machines buzzing, while the person in charge of publicity was standing on the balcony holding the company phone On the side, enduring the chaotic noise in the room, he repeated his needs hoarsely.

Zhang Yang didn't dare to disturb the migrant workers who had already worked overtime, so he went straight to the innermost room and knocked on the door of the manager's room.

"Enter!"

Following Chen Huimin's angry voice, Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and opened the door.

"Yang Zai? Why are you here?" Chen Huimin asked curiously, looking at Zhang Yang who suddenly appeared.

"I have an idea, and I specially want to talk to you, Brother Min."

"What do you think?" Chen Huimin picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"That's right, I want to open an action actor class..."

"Action class?"

Chen Huimin was slightly startled, interrupted Zhang Yang's words, and then flashed in her mind famous groups such as the Hong Family Class and the Cheng Family Class.

This kid, just after the first movie, you want to form your own team of martial artists?
This step is a bit big!
