Full-time actor

Chapter 599 [26] Show the foreigners the shock of Kung Fu!

"Well... it may not be a good idea to say the strongest, but what I want to say is Chinese Kung-fu!"

Chen Yu didn't hesitate at all and said it directly in front of the camera.

"This was Mr. Bruce Lee's answer back then, and it's also my answer. I believe... you should have seen it clearly!"

Chen Yu's face revealed a strong sense of pride: "This is the answer that every Chinese person knows. If you ask anyone, they will tell you that Chinese Kung-fu is the strongest in the world, No. 1!"

"It is the ancestor of karate and judo. It has a relatively complete system and a 5000-year-old cultural heritage. It is a profound martial art that even requires a lifetime of effort to learn!"

As Chen Yu was talking, he suddenly walked to the open space in the center of the interview area, and then, in front of everyone's fixed gazes, he suddenly performed a Tongbiquan demonstration.

Crackling.

Chen Yu's move was a unique skill.

The flying fists were dazzling and overwhelming.

Chen Yu's arms were like two whips, swinging rapidly and continuously, invisible and erratic, just like a thunderclap.

This is the power of Tongbiquan.

There is a clapping sound and a whistling sound, which is extremely powerful and is not found in the practice of other types of boxing.

So it looks very ornamental and very intimidating.

"..."

The audience in front of him had never seen such boxing before, and everyone's eyes were wide open.

Including Steve Harvey.

He was also a little dumbfounded.

What he had discussed with Chen Yu before was that it would be best if Chen Yu performed a segment during the interview.

I didn’t expect the performance to be so effective?!
You can tell by the audience's reaction.

Although the people sitting there were a group of supporters, who had ever seen such fancy boxing skills?
Their acting skills are not good enough to cooperate so well, so they were really shocked.

"This is a kind of boxing in our Chinese Kung Fu - Tongbei!"

"Kung Fu is a more fluid form of fighting. What I mean is that it is more agile and graceful, and the movements are also very coherent. It's not just one move, two moves, and then stop!"

"Harvey, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Chen Yu suddenly retracted his fist and spoke to Steve Harvey who was standing beside him with his mouth wide open.

"..."

Harvey reacted immediately, quickly closed his mouth and made a funny gesture of wiping his mouth.

He looked at the camera and spread his hands: "Of course, of course!"

"Kung Fu, he has all kinds of experience and fighting methods that our ancestors have passed down and summarized from generation to generation!"

"All kinds of styles, all kinds of martial arts, and even all parts of the body can be used!"

Chen Yu spoke eloquently, and all the audience were obviously attracted by his narration.

This is Chen Yu's experience in practicing martial arts, which can be said to be his summary.

clap clap clap!
At this time, all the audience sitting there applauded in unison.

Harvey suddenly swallowed his saliva, then stared sharply into Chen Yu's eyes and said word by word: "Can you watch this shot, and then use a glass of water as an example to explain to us the secrets and principles of Kung Fu?"

At this time, he did not forget the flow of the script.

"water?"

Everyone was a little stunned by this question.

Many viewers were wondering, what is the connection between water and Kung Fu?
This was also part of Bruce Lee's original audition.

I have to say that Hollywood auditions are really confusing. Acting skills are one aspect, but the most important thing is... what they want to ask is the actor's thinking!
If an actor cannot think, he obviously cannot play the role well!

His thinking character's body movements, behaviors and speech tone in this environment.

That's why Harvey asked Chen Yu this question.

Swish!
Chen Yu suddenly sat up straight and smiled: "Of course!"

"In fact, using water to describe our Chinese Kung Fu is very appropriate!"

"why?"

Chen Yu raised a question, and everyone was looking forward to what Chen Yu would say, and how would it be appropriate? !
"Because water is the softest substance in the world, but it can drip through the hardest stone in the world, or steel plates... or anything you can think of, granite!"

"Well, water is also insubstantial, meaning you can't grab it, you can't hit it or hurt it, so any Kung Fu would like to be able to reach this state!"

"Soft and flexible like water!"

"It changes depending on the opponent!"

"But in the whole world, only our Chinese Kung Fu can do this. Water dripping wears away a stone!"

"..."

Just a few short sentences made the audience think.

Is there any other explanation?!
The key point is that Chen Yu stretched out his hand again and shook his wrist: "Look, my wrist is very soft, isn't it? Is it like water?"

"Yes, soft, much softer than I seem!"

Harvey was also shaking his wrist, but not as soft as Chen Yu's, as if he had no bones.

"But when he exerts his strength, he is extremely powerful!"

Just when everyone was listening to Chen Yu's narration attentively, Chen Yu's wrist suddenly hit the desk next to him hard.

boom!
There was a loud noise and everyone was startled.

Some of the audience members even shook violently.

Harvey was so scared that he jumped up from his seat, although there was some exaggeration in it.

Really, Chen Yu's wrist was obviously very soft, and he just tapped it casually, but it made a loud noise.

There was a mark of impact on the table.

"Oh, my god!"

"Oh, my god!!"

"Oh, my!! god~!..."

Harvey couldn't help but call out "God" with a horrified expression.

He stared at the mark on the table. This was of course what Chen Yu had told him in advance that he would perform on the table, but he had never thought that Chen Yu would actually show such a unique skill.

In fact, this is how Tongbei’s force is exerted.

His hands are like iron, his wrists like cotton, and his arms are like whips.

The hand looked like a whip, but when it exerted force, it was extremely fierce.

Many people use their muscles to train their boxing strength, but the back is made up of tendons and bones, so when they hit someone, it is particularly painful.

Not to mention solid tables, many steel wrenches can be bent with just one blow.

This is the power of Tongbei.

Although Chen Yu practiced every day, he had only achieved some success. To be a real master, the table had actually collapsed with that blow just now.

But in China, there are very few masters who are proficient in Tongbeiquan.

What Chen Yu learned in his previous life was indeed the authentic Tongbeiquan.

"Oh my god, oh my god, God, I love you so much!"

"What you have to say and do is what I think of as kung fu!"

"It's more intuitive than what Bruce Lee showed back then!"

Harvey sat aside and made exaggerated movements, then clapped his hands with a red face. He had never thought that someone could interpret his favorite Chinese Kung Fu in this way.

The audience seemed to have forgotten their identities as agents at this time. They all felt that Chen Yu's explanation was just right. It was a key demonstration of how to overcome hardness with softness.

An actor can speak Kung Fu so philosophically in English, just like Bruce Lee studying Kung Fu back then? !

In fact, Chen Yu learned this set of rhetoric from Bruce Lee.

"I understand. What are the differences between these attack methods, Kung Fu and Karate?"

Harvey had already made an admiring expression towards Chen Yu, but he still wanted to hear Chen Yu's opinion on how it compared to several other world-renowned martial arts.

"so……"

Chen Yu pondered for a while, then said: "Karate's attack is like an iron rod to me, clang~~"

“It’s gone in an instant!”

Chen Yu gestured with a smile on his face: "What about Kung Fu? Attacking is like an iron chain tightly tied to an iron ball. When you blast it out, you will suffer internal injuries, and there will be a continuous aftereffect..."

Everyone present listened carefully to Chen Yu's explanation. The entire recording site was quiet with only his narration. The camera was always focused on Chen Yu.

In the end, Harvey couldn't help but shake his head.

It’s not that Chen Yu didn’t speak well, he spoke so well that one felt like he was facing the reincarnation of Bruce Lee. Chen Yu became the teacher of Chinese Kung Fu and his theory was very solid.

Could it be that this young man in front of me has already reached Bruce Lee's level of understanding of martial arts? !

"How about I practice it on your body, Harvey?"

Suddenly, Chen Yu looked at Harvey with a playful look, and Harvey quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I don't want to be hit by that, it must be very painful!"

"Hahaha!"

The audience all laughed.

"But I am really impatient now and want you to show us your real kung fu skills!"

“Let’s get our eyes open for this!”

"But it certainly wasn't me!"

Harvey smiled and said to the audience: "Actually, I'm still a little unsatisfied with your performance just now!"

"To be honest, I am still somewhat obsessed with Kung Fu, just like when I watched The Big Boss, I felt the mystery of oriental martial arts!"

The movie "Fist of Fury" can be said to be Bruce Lee's masterpiece. It caused a sensation as soon as it was released. It not only broke the box office myth of Hong Kong movies at that time, but also attracted countless foreigners to flock to Hong Kong just to watch this movie.

But what no one knows is that the cost of making this film was only 10 Hong Kong dollars, and it was all filmed in a small village in Thailand.

But the final global box office reached tens of millions of dollars.

"OK, let's move on to the next step!"

"Actual combat performance, I'd like you to show us your real skills, okay, Chan?"

Harvey seemed to be asking for Chen Yu's opinion, but this question was actually just out of politeness.

Chen Yu stood up and stood in the empty area where he had just performed the Tongbei: "I can do it now!"

"Ooh!"

Harvey had already sat up straight, looking as if he was watching the situation carefully. Everyone in the audience was looking at Chen Yu, afraid of missing anything.

"Look at our camera first, yes, look straight at it..."

Harvey gestured with his hands as if he was filming a movie on the spot: "Please demonstrate your best moves first!"

"A fight?"

Chen Yu shook his head and smiled, "I remember that Mr. Bruce Lee didn't demonstrate it like this at the time, because it's difficult for one person to demonstrate Kung Fu alone..."

"Okay, I forgot. Then... let's find someone!"

"It's definitely not me!"

Harvey emphasized it again, looking at the entire audience, his eyes suddenly locked on a male audience member, this is his enthusiastic audience of Harvey's show, the two are very familiar with each other: "Darcy, what do you think?"

"Oh Harvey, stop kidding, you've got to be kidding me?!"

"Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu, you want me to be a punching bag for Chan?"

Darcy Eden shook his head like a rattle, and Harvey laughed: "Darcy, Chan won't hit you. Bruce asked someone to demonstrate it to him, but he never hurt his opponent--"

"But that opponent was so scared that he didn't get out of bed for days. Do you think I don't know that, you bastard... I don't want that to happen!"

Darcy was shouting there, obviously for the show.

However, he admires Chinese Kung Fu very much, but if you ask him to experience it, he actually shrinks back inside.

"Listen, Darcy, I think you're the bravest person in this room. Are you going to let the lady behind you go up?"

"Can I?"

A lady suddenly raised her hand, and Harvey burst into laughter: "Look, Darcy, ladies are braver than you!"

Everyone could see that Harvey actually just wanted to play a joke on Darcy Eden.

"Come on, Darcy!"

Harvey was already applauding, and the audience was making noises. Darcy immediately pretended to be in pain and fear, and spread his hands: "Okay, you bad guys, I know what you are up to!"

Darcy took off his coat and walked up to Chen Yu with a look of despair.

"Chan, please be merciful. You know... I've begun to adore you!"

Darcy said this with a fearless attitude, standing there with an extremely strong figure.

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Relax, Kung Fu is not that scary. It will allow you to feel the charm of this martial art more intuitively!"

"That's good!"

Darcy took a deep breath, but the next second, Chen Yu's words made him collapse all of a sudden.

"Although I can guarantee that no accidents will happen, but... you know!"

"If you retreat, I can't guarantee your safety... So, don't move!"

"..."

Darcy's expression suddenly turned into a mask of pain.

Harvey and countless audiences were laughing heartily!
Chen Yu and Darcy stood there face to face, with everyone watching and waiting for Chen Yu to make a move.

"Kung Fu, it has countless ways to attack!"

"Depending on where you want to attack and the weapon you choose, such as the eyes--"

Chen Yu pointed at Darcy's eyes, and before anyone could react, he moved his hand.

At that moment, Darcy felt a dangerous breath directly attacking his heart, making his whole body stiff and his brain went blank.

He could only tilt his head back subconsciously. He saw a dark shadow flash by in his eyes, and the next second Chen Yu had stopped there.

too fast.

In the blink of an eye just now, Chen Yu...had already made a move? !
"Eyes, you'll attack with your fingers!"

Chen Yu smiled, and then Harvey and the audience realized that Chen Yu had actually attacked just now?
However, they didn't even see his move clearly.

It’s so fast that I can’t keep up.

Darcy subconsciously took a step back, and Chen Yu quickly smiled: "Don't worry, I will--"

Swish!
"Hit the eyes!"

Chen Yu waved again, and Darcy saw it clearly this time, but the hairs on his body stood up.

This move is very simple, just a simple wave of the hand, but you can only know it when you get closer.

With this wave, a strong wind seemed to blow across his cheek, making his skin feel hot and painful.

Darcy's pupils contracted slightly, and Harvey, who had been observing Chen Yu, also saw it clearly.

Chen Yu's move just now was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. Not only was it fast, but there was no unnecessary movement at all. It was a very direct attack.

This is completely different from the Chinese Kung Fu they saw in movies.

"well enough?"

Chen Yu asked Darcy, whose face was a little pale. Darcy smiled bitterly and said, "This is the most unpretentious, yet most dangerous move I have ever seen!"

"Of course, this is a way to attack, not a way to perform!"

"Our ancient Chinese martial arts only focus on killing people, not performing, such as attacking the face!"

boom!
Chen Yu assumed a Baji stance, then clenched his hands into fists and punched Darcy directly in the face.

pat!

Darcy retreated subconsciously.

Because the subconscious intuition that punch gave him was as if his head was about to be hit hard.

The key is still fast.

Harvey was really completely eye-opening.

This was different from any Kung Fu they had seen, and if they had to say who it was most similar to, it would undoubtedly be Bruce Lee.

When Bruce Lee auditioned, he didn't use any special moves, just fast punches and kicks, and even had a peak punching speed of 10 punches per second, which no one has surpassed to this day.

He didn't expect that after letting Chen Yu show some kung fu, he could actually see a hint of Bruce Lee in Chen Yu?
Chen Yu's skills are really amazing, and he also has a wealth of key theoretical knowledge.

Many people can understand what he says in front of the camera.

This is where he is so great.

Harvey even felt like he wanted more during the first interview, and his intuition told him that this show would definitely be a hit, and he would also become famous because of it...
