I am not mentally ill, I am the actor with a thousand faces

Chapter 387, Martial Arts Association: Their martial arts is unorthodox!

At this moment.

Regarding the announcement, things are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

On the side of the main creator Ye Weixin, he also received some news.

Some publicity news comes from the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

When the news from over there came, the meaning was quite obvious.

You want to promote national martial arts.

Why didn't you ask us first?
This made Ye Weixin a little confused.

Did I hear something wrong?
"Does your martial arts association have such a rule? Chen Zhihui, come here and translate for me. What's going on?"

After hearing this call, Ye Weixin from Xiangjiang felt a little doubtful about life.

"Sure enough, these guys still found you, don't worry about them."

"Does he think we in the martial arts world are easy to bully!"

It turns out that the martial arts association is also divided into factions. One type is those who are formally involved in martial arts ratings, which is what martial arts actors often come into contact with. They are formal and standardized. Most of them work in sports schools, and a small number are involved in the actor and dance industry.

"They did Tai Chi and fake boxing and performed Qigong to make money. A so-called Southern Tai Chi master could fight 20 fighting experts and knock them down with one push. When I saw them making money like this, I just I started to feel ashamed to be around them.”

There are countless fans under his banner.

"I'm so angry. Ask Xiao Zhong to pour me a cup of tea and I'll calm down the anger."

Ye Weixin also decisively refused at this time.

The orthodox successors of the Wushu Association say that this is not a national martial art, so can you still use it to promote it?
But Chen Zhihui is indeed disgusted with these people.

"Master Ma, calm down, calm down. I, the orthodox Wing Chun successor, didn't say anything. At worst, we won't give them any certification this time. When the time comes, we will directly issue a statement that this martial art is not orthodox. Is that okay? It’s a street-level movie with limited funding, and I can’t afford to make it.”

They have no money to share.

Think about it.

If you don't give them protection money, as soon as they say that this martial arts is unorthodox, and the Internet channels ferment, then the martial arts gimmick of "Ip Man" will be in vain.

Because it's "Ip Man" and they don't give money.

"Ignore us."

They consider themselves to be orthodox descendants of a well-known and upright sect, and they are the right ones and the only ones in the national martial arts. But in fact, if you have to put it that way, they are indeed descendants of a well-known and upright sect.

Although their lack of exercise has left them with a big belly, they are still full of energy when it comes to swearing.

At least with a small profit, it can prove to investors that real-life martial arts movies, although niche, have not become so desolate that they will die.

"Okay, I also know their answers."

"To be honest, I used to be one of them, and I used to be very proud of my orthodox name. In fact, I am still proud of my identity as the successor of Northern Boxing." Chen Zhihui murmured at this time: "But then I I found that this is not the true way to promote Chinese martial arts.”

At this time, the successor of Nanquan Tai Chi named Ma Guohu was angrily ordering the staff of the martial arts association.

It is enough to continue the incense bloodline.

"How about it? "Ip Man" on the other side of Xiangjiang."

It is precisely because of this orthodox legacy of a famous family that they can have a place in the martial arts association without doing any production.

"Then I understand, he is here to collect my protection money, right?"

Treat the staff as domestic servants.

That's enough.

Xiangjiang martial arts actors are very familiar with this group of people from the Wushu Association, but there is another group of people, that is, the group of people who come to ask for publicity fees and patent fees this time.

"If you want me to give money to a bunch of guys who are just looking for fame, that's just their dream."

At this time, Chen Zhihui's mouth twitched.

At this time, several imposing men in Tang suits, about 50 years old, were filled with indignation.

To a certain extent, these so-called orthodox successors are the scum of the martial arts world.

The middle-aged woman next to her is named Mi Lanfang, who claims to be the successor of the orthodox Wing Chun. Her mother studied under Ip Man and is an orthodox disciple of the third generation.

At this time Ye Weixin understood.

She was the one who once fought 20 people at a southern martial arts exhibition.

Chen Zhihui is conflicted at this time.

"Don't pay attention to them. Our publicity gimmicks are enough now. Anyway, there is a "Certificate of Investment" in front of us. I don't expect commercial results. As long as we can achieve the results of killing the wolf and make a small profit, I will That’s enough.”

"Really, they are shooting movies with themes related to Chinese martial arts, and they don't ask us to guide them. Now they really don't want to pull out a dime. They still use the orthodox martial arts of our ancestors. Is there any law of heaven, and is there any king? It’s law!”

Although they are not engaged in any production activities, they are located on a floor within the Wushu Association.

It's completely different.

"Yes, but actually from our point of view, the protection fee they collect is not without benefits. They also have a group of believers. If we let them cooperate in publicity, they can convince those who believe in the so-called orthodoxy of national martial arts. People become our audience.”

He is also the standard setter for martial arts association ratings.

"What I want is not his money, but his attitude! You don't know how bad his attitude was on the phone. I gave my name, but he didn't even recognize me! Even our group of orthodox martial arts He doesn’t even know our descendants, so why does he have any respect for us? There’s no respect at all!”

Ma Guohu said aggressively.

His yelling could be heard throughout the floor.

However, some people think that this movie called "Ip Man" may really be in trouble.

Their minds.

Really small.

On another floor, Wu Jing was discussing the internal affairs of the martial arts association with his father.

"These old guys are really irritable. If they are so full of energy, why don't they go exercise and really hone their martial arts? They are still saying strange things here."

Wu Jing was very disdainful of the things on the floor upstairs, and was even very depressed.

Bearing the name of a so-called martial arts master.

But in fact, even a horse stance takes less than 5 minutes.

Wu Jing felt disgusted by looking at this kind of thing for the sake of fame. It was undoubtedly an insult to people like them who practiced martial arts normally.

A very embarrassing insult.

Especially when Wu Jing saw his father, the chief instructor of Shichahai Martial Arts Academy and a key member of the Martial Arts Association.

Not only do I have to work hard every day, but I also have to work as a coward for those people, and my treatment is not as good as those who drink tea from the office.

"Okay, stop complaining. No matter what, they are still inheritors of orthodox martial arts. You regard them as the inheritors of an intangible cultural heritage and a facade. It is not too difficult to understand that the country gives them preferential treatment."

Although Wu Jinquan was a little helpless, he understood.

As non-genetic people, they have the necessity to act as frontmen here.

Even the legitimacy of the martial arts association depends on that group of people.

"It's really fucked. It's not the capable people who come forward, but these guys who are just living in the corpse position."

"Existence is reasonable."

Although he said so, Wu Jinquan still said: "But these guys who are just eating corpses really don't know what to say."

"Right, I think they are the main culprits for insulting Chinese martial arts. When I go to a fighting gym outside to practice, I dare not say that I practice martial arts. As soon as I say that I practice martial arts, people will automatically give me three You won’t even try your best to fight me, just because you’re afraid of hurting me.”

This kind of concession is more uncomfortable than simply looking down on him.

This impression is probably an illusion created by those so-called martial arts masters who often appear on TV programs and who don't know the so-called performances.

What is really hurt are the feelings of those who truly practice martial arts and pass on Chinese martial arts.

The most terrible thing is that there is no way to refute.

After all, I am an officially recognized figure in Chinese martial arts, so you should be the one to get out of here.

This does feel a bit ridiculous.

And a little sad.

"Do you want to watch the movie "Ip Man"? Dad, the young man you tested was the leading actor." At this time, Wu Jing remembered that Li Yun and the two had fought against each other back then.

Now that time has passed, he has become a first-line protagonist. Although he is approaching his age, he has already left himself far behind.

Those feelings are definitely complicated.

"That third-level martial arts actor, I don't know if his martial arts has improved these days." Wu Jinquan paused and said: "In a real fight, he is much better than you." "You don't need to tell me this, of course I know this. matter."

Wu Jing was speechless at this time, and of course he emphasized again: "I couldn't beat him back then, but now, I am no longer what I used to be, and he is not following a pure martial arts route. How can he have so many skills like me?" Put your energy into martial arts training.”

Martial arts is directly proportional to talent and training. Li Yun actually chose to focus on acting in his career as an actor.

This also makes Wu Jinquan feel a little pity. Li Yun's martial arts talent is undoubted.

It can be said that he has never seen such a powerful martial arts talent.

If he keeps going, he may not be able to become a great master.

If you are proficient in a martial art, you may not be able to grow into a more powerful existence than those guys who are just trying to gain fame.

The martial arts world lacks a genius like him.

However, people choose their own path, and he actually chose this way on the path of an actor. Other people would not say anything except that they felt it was a pity.

"Okay, I don't have much to do lately, so I'm going to watch "Ip Man" with you just to relax."

Wu Jinquan even felt in his heart that it would be better if the movie was worse.

If the quality was good, he would even feel a little guilty because of the influence of those fake masters who were just trying to gain fame.

After all, nominally speaking, they are also people supported by the Martial Artists Association.

Also the choice of the Martial Artists Association.

News about the Martial Artists Association spread quickly, and online channels are very powerful.

With those well-known and upright old masters, they brought documents and notices written by them.

The martial arts in the movie "Ip Man" have not been taught orthodoxly by the famous sects, and the martial arts used are not orthodox Chinese martial arts. Please don't be confused, and severely condemn those who pretend to be fake.

When this statement came out, it was equivalent to knocking off half of "Ip Man"'s foot. Chinese martial arts itself is a very important publicity stunt, but at this time it has reached a semi-waste stage.

"And what's more, we've become beggars when we make movies?" When Li Yun heard the news, he didn't know what emotion to use to deal with it.

It can only be said that the path of this martial artist association is really wild.

Why didn't you know this road was so wild before?
However, regarding the announcement of "Ip Man", the statements made by the old veterans of the Martial Arts Association will undoubtedly make things worse.

It could have been a gimmick of orthodox martial arts.

But now that the microphone has been snatched away by others, your orthodox martial arts gimmick can no longer be used.

This is undoubtedly a very bad thing.

At least at the publicity level, this is a very bad thing, which is equivalent to being stripped of a label.

A pretty important label.

"You are just claiming the title of orthodoxy, and there are many people who do this. There is nothing you can do about it."

Jiang Chenggang was very helpless about this.

From a personal perspective, Ye Weixin's toughness is very reasonable.

Why should I give money to those people?
Just relying on their corpses to eat nothing?

Although the truth is this.

But if you want to claim the name of orthodoxy, you inevitably need to borrow their momentum.

Spend money to eliminate disasters.

I believe no one understands.

"Li Zi, if it were you, you should also spend money to eliminate disasters. You said what he did was too rough." Jiang Chenggang said to Li Yun so matter-of-factly.

However, Li Yun touched his chin at this time and said a little matter-of-factly.

"If it were me, I would not only reject them, I would also scold them on the spot to relieve my hatred."

Jiang Chenggang was a little stunned when he heard this.

Although he also knows that those old guys in the martial arts association are not very good, but shouldn't the adult world only talk about pros and cons?
"I will definitely not tolerate those guys who don't know what they are called."

Li Yun said: "If they can really shoulder the responsibility of promoting the quintessence of the country, then there is nothing wrong with them enjoying this benefit, but in fact what they do is no different from deception and abduction."

Master Ma Baoguo in the previous life, and Master Lanfang Tai Chi, these people are definitely the culprits for the low reputation of Chinese martial arts.

He practiced Chinese martial arts that he couldn't even master, and deceived and abducted others.

You said that it's okay to just use the name of the ancestors to do something of a performance nature, but they insist on saying that what they know is real stuff and what they do is real kung fu.

That would be ridiculous.

Around the turn of the millennium, they still had a part of the market, but as the Internet gradually developed, their voices became weaker and weaker, and they no longer had the advantages they had before.

When more and more people associate them with Chinese martial arts, and when their scams and castles in the air collapse, the backlash against them also turns into a backlash against Chinese martial arts.

Supporting these dogs is also a sin for the decline of national martial arts.

If it were me, I wouldn't give them a dime.

"Let them be as black as they are. Black and red are also red. Let the bullets fly for a while. The most important thing for a movie is quality. Our "Ip Man" is the highest quality domestic film in this period. What are we afraid of? ." At this time, Li Yun smiled lightly.

And Jiang Chenggang wanted to say something.

However, this time is indeed a gap period for Hollywood blockbusters. It is also at this time that domestic commercial movies will gather together. Under the pressure of Hollywood, there is a chance to survive.

Only some high-end Hollywood movies will be shown here.

But although the phoenix tail is gone, the chicken head is still there!

That new era movie that the industry has absolutely high hopes for, and a representative work of the new era of domestic commercial blockbusters.

"Report of Name".

One step from Uranus Superstar.

The most handsome boy in Asia.

The Kung Fu Emperor returns from Hollywood.

These three, plus commercial blockbusters with huge amounts of money, have achieved an absolute high in popularity during this period of pre-air screenings.

The cast and cast are so luxurious that one doesn’t even know how this movie will fail.

He is destined to be the number one box office hit in this period. In comparison, "Ip Man" can only be regarded as a medium-sized production.

Commercial movies follow a logic.

Input and output are directly proportional.

This is true in most cases.

The investment between the two is not of the same magnitude.

Jiang Chenggang reminded at this time.

"At the same time as you, there was also a movie called "The Letter of Recognition"."

"I didn't exclude him."

Li Yun came to Xiangjiang. Compared with the premiere of "The Call to Action", the premiere of "Ip Man" was slightly shabby, both in terms of the number of media outlets and the attention on the Internet. , are all inferior.

It's not that Ye Weixin can't afford to hire the media, it's actually that the media is much more interested in another work.
The Kung Fu Emperor's first stop back in China is a movie shot with Hollywood narrative art and special effects technology.

Advanced experience from Hollywood Returns.

All kinds of fancy titles, all kinds of useful gimmicks.

All attract the media to pay more attention to which movie.

As for "Ip Man", there has been negative news before it even started airing. Even the Chinese Martial Arts Association certified that the movie was not authentic, and the source of the banner it used was even more unclear.

Before the show even started, we lost one game.

This is the huge disadvantage that the movie "Ip Man" has compared to the movie "The Name of the People".

At this time, the creators of "The Proposal" no longer cared much about the movie "Ip Man".

Basically, I don’t think he can make any waves.

It's just that someone thinks differently than they do.

"Liu Tianwang, are you sure? You want to come to our premiere of "Ip Man"?" Ye Weixin was in disbelief, listening to Liu Tianwang's call
"Of course, I filmed the entire movie "The Proposal," and I also watched the advance version. I really didn't have too many expectations."

Liu Tianwang smiled slightly and said: "As an audience member, I am curious about the film "Ip Man". Mr. Ye, I should be welcome, right?"

"of course!"
