Chapter 600 [27] Bruce Lee is reborn!

"That was just the simplest attack. Next——"

"No!"

Darcy waved his hands, sweat dripping from his forehead. He waved his hands towards Steve Harvey: "Harvey, I think you should come up and experience it. Really, you will have a very intuitive impression!"

"This is different from the Chinese Kung Fu I've seen, but I think it's even more powerful!"

“Very impressive!”

Darcy subconsciously wiped the sweat off his face, but Harvey pushed him away with his hand, as if he would never get up again: "Darcy, please, hold on a little longer, I know you can do it!"

"Shit, I'm not coming anymore. My heart can't take it!"

"You know, I thought that punch just now was going to blow my head off!"

Darcy hurried back to his seat with a trace of fear on his face.

Chen Yu could only shrug his shoulders and say, "Ok, I'll do it by myself. For the striking method just now, we have some other individual exercises in Chinese Kung Fu!"

"For example, Baji——"

boom!
One kick!
The extremely loud kick and punch startled everyone in the audience again, and Harvey almost jumped out of his seat.

what happened? !

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Chen Yu's body moved suddenly, and as he kicked out, Chen Yu's fist rushed out instantly.

The moment it was thrown out, a whistling sound was heard.

boom!
Chen Yu's hand shook violently in an instant, and a powerful energy seemed to rush from his arm to his palm. As the punch was thrown, the momentum was also very strong.

As Chen Yu's punch was thrown, the shaking of feet on the ground became louder and louder.

"Oh my god, what kind of punch is this?"

"totally different!"

“It’s quite different from Bruce’s audition back then!”

Harvey was talking there, and quickly signaled Chen Yu to stop: "OK, OK, stop, Chan!"

“It’s OK, it’s really OK!”

Harvey pretended to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.

Chen Yu, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and returned to his seat without blushing or breathing hard.

"Chan, before interviewing you, I watched some interviews with Bruce Lee. I thought you two were similar, but now I think you two are completely different... yours seems more lethal?"

"Let's take a look at Bruce's audition now!"

Harvey asked in surprise, and on the big screen behind him, precious images of Bruce Lee's audition appeared.

Chen Yu and all the audience looked up and saw Bruce Lee appear on the screen. Like Chen Yu, he was demonstrating a set of kung fu.

Roar!
"This is Tiger Fist!"

Bruce Lee changed his fists into claws, and then his hands danced quickly, with a hint of palm wind, full of power and bravery.

"This is Crane Fist!"

Bruce Lee's hand suddenly stood up again, and he made a very beautiful shape of a white crane spreading its wings, and his aura became agile and elegant again.

……

Brother Xiaolong does have some strength.

Chen Yu also found it very interesting.

"You Chinese Kung Fu, there are many kinds, right?"

In fact, it's not just Harvey who is not clear about this. Many of the audience present were not aware of this. In their impression, they all thought that Chinese Kung Fu refers to a specific type.

"Of course, the stomping I just performed is called Bajiquan!"

"This is the most powerful form of boxing in our Chinese Kung Fu, which evolved from ancient wars!"

"Many of the chief's bodyguards have learned this kind of boxing... It's the number one boxing style of the external family!"

"And what Bruce just performed was Xingyiquan, which is an internal martial art!"

"It is the attacking intentions of various animals, transformed into methods for humans to attack!"

"The might of the tiger, the agility of the crane, the versatility of the snake, the power of the bear, the might of the dragon..."

"..."

The foreigners were once again overwhelmed by what they heard.

Baji, Xingyi...internal school...external school, they were a little confused.

For example, Thailand has Muay Thai, Korea has Taekwondo, so everyone thinks that Chinese Kung Fu is just one kind of boxing, but who would have thought... there are actually many kinds?!

Just after Chen Yu finished his Baji set, a series of footprints were left on the wooden floor of the recording area, which made them feel very horrified.

Every footprint seemed to be narrating the thrilling scene of Chen Yu boxing just now!
“It’s really terrible!”

"What Chan just performed was probably the most powerful and intimidating martial arts I have ever seen!"

“It’s even better than Muay Thai!”

"Every punch and kick is so lethal!"

Harvey held his head in his hands and spoke in surprise.

Many viewers could not calm down for a long time.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
After a while, everyone started clapping.

"Only when we came to China did we get to know the real Kung Fu!"

“It’s completely different from what I imagined!”

"I always thought that Kung Fu was just the kind of fighting in the movies, but I didn't expect it to have so many moves..."

Harvey was talking there, and suddenly asked: "Chan, the fight you just did is called Baji? What's the difference between this and Bruce's Jeet Kune Do?"

This is also what many foreigners are curious about.

"Jeet Kune Do is a modern martial art created by LEE. It is a martial art similar to Taekwondo and Karate. It is a transformation based on our Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Before he created Jeet Kune Do, Bruce had always been a descendant of the Wing Chun school. Wing Chun is also an ancient martial art!"

"..."

Chen Yu introduced himself to Harvey. Harvey looked at the time and then took a deep breath: "One last question!"

"You...how many punches can you throw in one second at the fastest?"

Harvey now urgently wants to know Chen Yu's strength.

What are Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Xingyi, and Baji? At the moment, there is only one concept in his mind.

Bruce throws 10 punches in one second, which is extremely fast.

When it reaches a certain level, it reaches its peak.

"I remember there was a sentence in Bruce's autobiography: The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed, right?"

Harvey smiled a little embarrassedly. He was indeed a loyal fan of Bruce Lee.

I read the relevant materials and videos before the interview, and it can be seen that a lot of preparation and homework was done for this interview with Chen Yu.

This is one thing that Chen Yu admires about this guy.

"Yes, this is a proverb in our China!"

Chen Yu nodded, and Harvey's eyes became hot. He was originally very satisfied with Chen Yu's interview this time. The interaction was harmonious, and there were a lot of useful and eye-catching things.

He now wants to see if the young man in front of him is as good as Bruce Lee was back then?
"Can you show us your punching speed?"

Harvey looked at Chen Yu with a very sincere expression, waiting for his answer.

Actually, before the recording of the program started, Harvey asked Chen Yu if he could perform this punching speed at the end to serve as the finale of the interview.

Chen Yu agreed without hesitation.

Every audience member is actually looking forward to it.

After all, they had never seen Bruce Lee throw 10 punches in one second with their own eyes. They could only watch it in videos and many variety shows.

That video was also very popular on YouTube in the past life.

But now, they have a chance to see a Kung Fu superstar who also has special skills.

Let's see if he can throw as many punches as Bruce Lee. "Actually, I haven't practiced my punching speed, but I can try!"

"Bruce practiced the fast punches of Jeet Kune Do for many years..."

Chen Yu suddenly thought, could he develop in this direction in the future and try to break another Guinness World Record? !
Isn't this as topical and marketable as Tom Cruise climbing a tower and stealing an airplane?
“Maybe, yes!”

Chen Yu let out a breath, took a few steps back, and took off his coat.

When everyone heard that Chen Yu wanted to challenge his boxing speed, they all sat up straight. Harvey's heartbeat began to speed up. This was a rare opportunity.

"Thank you, Chan!"

"thank you very much!"

"Thank you for letting me see this amazing Chinese boxing technique!"

Harvey said with a grateful look on his face.

Chen Yu closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down as much as possible.

This punching speed actually has nothing to do with kung fu.

In fact, the speed of a punch all depends on the distance you throw.

For example, boxers practice hanging there and bouncing a pear ball. A fast boxer can do it more than ten times a second.

But obviously, what everyone wants to see right now is not this thing, but the speed of punches similar to that of Bruce Lee.

How many times can the crackling sound be fired at a person in one second? This requires a very high level of distance and movement.

Well, this is indeed somewhat difficult.

"Speed ​​is a relaxed muscle that contracts very quickly!"

"Boxing with tensed muscles is actually the way to hit that limits your punch speed the most. Stay relaxed to punch as fast as possible!"

"Don't fight with your arms, fight with your body, with your whole body!"

"When you throw a punch, you should consciously pull your non-punching arm shoulder back, using your entire upper body in this way!"

"Finally, retract quickly and use your shoulder to try to pull back your attacking fist!"

The shoulder is actually the key to punching quickly!
And muscle relaxation.

Chen Yu had learned some knowledge in this area, and the key points regarding punching speed instantly flashed through his mind.

Swish!
Chen Yu opened his eyes, and everyone concentrated and held their breath!

"OK, let's start!"

"Remember to turn on the close-up camera, otherwise, you won't be able to see how many punches I throw in one second!"

Chen Yu's confident words made Harvey and the audience present all a little excited.

This Kung Fu star seems like a completely different person. Could it be that... he is really the reincarnation of Bruce Lee?
"The camera is always on!"

"Chan, just keep performing. I'll have the technicians copy the video in a bit!"

Harvey's words made Chen Yu narrow his eyes slightly: "Okay, then I... start!"

Chen Yu stood on the spot again, his hands hanging naturally and loosely on the sides of his legs, and his whole body seemed to be completely relaxed.

Seeing Chen Yu like this, everyone present was a little bit surprised.

The way Chen Yu punched just now was not like this. It could be said to be quite sharp, but now it seemed soft.

What's happening here?
Snapped!
Just when everyone was confused, Chen Yu's hanging hand suddenly moved.

The kind that moves as fast as a rabbit.

Moreover, his body movements and fist-throwing gestures were also very fast.

Everyone could see his attacks and how he finished, but in their pupils, all they could see were those punches that were so fast that they felt frightened!
How many punches?!
A whole set of punching movements flashed before everyone's eyes.

Swish!
Chen Yu finished his punch and then stood still.

It was as if the whole person was completely motionless.

Before everyone present could come to their senses, Chen Yu's voice came out: "I'm done. This is my first try. I'm sure it will be better next time!"

"..."

Everyone present was frightened by Chen Yu's words.

This is the first time he has tried and he has already achieved such a fast punching speed. If he tries it well, won't he be able to reach Bruce Lee's level? !
"Hi, Hanmo, you, the photographer, watched the scene most carefully. Did you see exactly how many punches Chan threw in one second just now?"

After Harvey recovered from his shock, he asked the photographer who was filming the show.

The photographer uttered an "ah" and shook his head like a rattle: "Steve, are you kidding?"

"Do you still think my eyes are scanners? The speed of this punch is so fast that it has exceeded the limit of human vision... I can't see it clearly at all. I just saw a fist shadow... and then, nothing happened!"

"Ha ha……"

Harvey burst out laughing, and in fact he was no better than the photographer!
No one could see clearly the punch Chen Yu threw, but the speed of the punch was definitely very fast.

Soon, Chen Yu's boxing video appeared in slow motion on the big screen in the recording area.

“Slow down, slow down!”

"10 times faster!"

Harvey was talking anxiously, and Chen Yu, who was sitting there, smiled.

This scene is so dramatic.

"One punch... two punches... three punches..."

Watching the video, Chen Yu threw a few punches forward and then raised his elbow as if to punch someone in the face a few more times. Everyone counted the speed of Chen Yu's punches.

9 punches!
Chen Yu threw 9 punches in one second, only one punch away from Bruce Lee's fastest record of 10 punches.

But for a martial artist, it is easy to throw 9 punches in one second.

Many of Bruce Lee's disciples could throw ten punches in one second, which is a Jeet Kune Do routine.

But foreigners obviously don't know.

"Chan, you... you really haven't practiced before?"

Harvey confirmed it again in disbelief.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't practiced it specially. I just watched Bruce's punching video and I learned it temporarily!"

"Next time I practice for a longer time, I'll try to challenge a faster punch speed!"

"..."

Everyone present was completely speechless.

9 punches per second, this is already a remarkable achievement. If you add in the fact that this is the first time Chen Yu has imitated it in this way, then this number becomes even more precious.

The foreigners present were not fools. They all saw that Chen Yu had real kung fu skills.

Soon, an interview that lasted nearly two hours ended with cheers from the audience.

One by one, the audience came forward to ask Chen Yu for his autograph.

Harvey even said, "Hey, Chan, this show, this show will definitely have high ratings!"

"I guarantee that they have never seen such a realistic Kung Fu performance!"

"Haha, I'm already looking forward to the broadcast of this weekend's show..."

“I’m really honored to have you on the recording!”

Harvey was obviously more polite than when he first met Chen Yu.

I guess he was defeated by Chen Yu’s performance on the show.

In the past, his programs were nothing more than dialogues, but Chen Yu's combination of fighting, talking and popularizing things really opened the eyes of the audience and Harvey!

This will certainly be beneficial to the popularization of Chinese Kung Fu around the world.

Therefore, Chen Yu took this program very seriously and tried his best to make what he said understandable to the audience!
Just like Bruce Lee popularizing his Jeet Kune Do, this can be considered a disguised form of cultural invasion… Ten years later, it might not have this effect, but now in 06, many foreigners are still obsessed with Chinese Kungfu.

What Chen Yu needs to do is to promote Kung Fu as a cultural element and trend, just like Bruce Lee did back then.

This is still very helpful for his image and packaging in Hollywood.

Maybe by then, the direction of publicity, marketing and hype can be the same as that of Bruce Lee back then.

With this track and traffic, Chen Yu has obviously...taken the cake!
