The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 250 Hospitality
No matter what, Hollywood has always been a circle where appearance is paramount. Just like women have their own shackles, men also have their own problems:
height.

With heights like Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., and Matt Damon, they often face many restrictions when choosing roles.

Since his first attempt at acting in 1988, Matt has been repeating the role of "the scholar", shy, introverted, thin, born in poverty but with high ambitions.

This is true for everything from "High School" to "The Rainmaker" to "The Talented Mr. Ripley." In "Good Will Hunting," which he and Ben Affleck wrote, Matt simply played a math wizard. Cleaners, including the beloved character in "Saving Private Ryan," are no exception.

Of course, because they were born in Boston, there is a small clinging group in the Hollywood circle, the "Boston Gang". They are like-minded and help each other. Thanks to this, Matt and Ben's careers have been developing smoothly, even if they encounter some setbacks. You can also continue to get opportunities, no need to worry.

But in fact, Matt has been thinking about how to break his own stereotypes and broaden his acting options. Only in this way can he continue the vitality of an actor.

Today, Matt appeared at the door of a martial arts gym. The answer is self-evident——

Shhh!
However, Anson could guess without asking that the project Matt was preparing should be a series of movies that completely changed his career.

"The Bourne Supremacy."

Before the series was released, Matt was already on the forefront of Hollywood. He had box-office hits, Oscar-nominated works, and collaborations with top directors and actors. In addition, he had a wide range of friends and strong connections. There is no doubt that Matt was Te has had a very distinguished career.

Despite this, it was not until "The Bourne Supremacy" that Matt became a superstar, proving that he has the ability to stand up to the box office, and most importantly, opening up the situation, getting rid of his label of a weak scholar, and proving that he has more possibilities, so that He truly holds his place at the top of the Hollywood pyramid.

A face-to-face meeting, some questions and answers, and thoughts rushing through my mind.

But Anson didn't show it on the surface, "As for martial arts schools, as far as I know, there are three in total around here. The one in front of you is the 'Ye Family Martial Arts School'. Is this what you are looking for?"

Matt, "I'm not sure..." turned to look at Nick.

Nick had already nodded, "Yes, this is it."

Anson made an invitation gesture, motioning for Matt and Nick to go first.

A group of three people climbed up the stairs to the second floor, and a spacious space appeared in sight.

On the right is a large bright window, on the left is a whole mirror, with two wooden dummies placed in the middle, but other than that, there is nothing else.

Although it was simple, Matt's eyes immediately brightened up when he saw the wooden dummy, "Bruce Lee, hey, Bruce Lee!"

Nick showed a helpless smile and shook his head gently, "Chinese Kung Fu is broad and profound, not just Bruce Lee's."

Anson was slightly surprised——

Not to mention now, even if the online world matures ten years later and information exchange becomes more and more convenient, in the eyes of Westerners, the East will always be mysterious and full of unsolvable unknowns, let alone now?

Oriental culture is diverse and rich. They just opened a small window to peek, and were unable to distinguish the vivid and vivid details inside. Perhaps the only thing that can be confirmed is the power of Chinese Kung Fu.

It is precisely because of this that the dissemination of art has become an important channel, allowing people to obtain information from life and explore the corners of the world.

For ordinary people, Chinese Kung Fu is often directly equated with actors. In the past, it was Bruce Lee, and now it is Jackie Chan. Matt is a typical example.

But I didn't expect that Nick actually knew some tricks.

Is it really the FBI?

Nick noticed Anson's gaze and showed a confident smile, "Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet? Nick Powell, martial arts instructor."

Anson showed an expression of realization, and many things were explained.

Anson lacks understanding of martial arts instructors, because most of the time they hide behind the scenes, have no chance to appear, and rarely receive awards. In fact, the Nick Powell in front of him is also a figure in Hollywood.

Nick has been active in the industry for nearly two decades. His most famous works are the "Mummy" series, as well as this summer's first "Gladiator" and second "X-Men".

Of course, for Anson, who grew up watching Chinese martial arts movies, the martial arts designs in Hollywood action movies lacked novelty and excitement, including the later acclaimed "John Wick" series, which was also unsatisfactory. But looking at it from another perspective, different markets have different definitions of action movies, and the routines designed by martial arts directors are naturally different.

After the simple self-introduction, Nick looked at Anson, his eyes naturally showing a kind of confidence, not contemptuous of Anson, but confidence in his own professionalism, unconsciously taking on a condescending attitude of looking at a layman, "I'm a little surprised, Do you also have some research on martial arts?"

Anson didn't mind. Rather than showing off his power, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was more suitable for the scene in front of him.

Anson responded with a smile and humbly said, "A little."

On the other side, Matt couldn't hold it any longer.

He immediately stepped forward and circled the wooden mannequin. It was like seeing a time machine. His eyes were rolling and he couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Can I try it?"

"How do you play this? Is there a routine? Or can you just play it yourself?"

"I watched Bruce and Jackie in the movie and they were dazzled by what they did. Is that possible with practice?"

"Anson, can you?"

"Can I try it?"

Suddenly, Matt, who seemed honest, shy and introverted on the outside, became excited for the first time.

Anson was about to remind Matt that there were rules in the martial arts gym, but two figures wearing cloth shoes appeared with smiles and narrowed their eyes.

"Welcome, welcome to Ye's Martial Arts School, is there anything we can do to help you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Anson.

Anson touched his nose and stood aside obediently, lowering his head to cover up the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

One person is tall and one is short, one is fat and the other is thin. When one stands there, due to the contrast in body shape, there is a natural feeling of joy. In addition, both of them are smiling like Maitreya Buddha with benevolent smiles, which makes it even more exciting. The atmosphere became relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

But if you listen carefully, you will see that there is a hidden edge in the smiling words of the two people.

"Those who come to learn from the teacher can start by squatting in the corner."

The one who opened the mouth was a thin bamboo pole, and at the same time, the thick mallet stretched out his hand to indicate to the corner next to him to cooperate with the explanation. This singing and coordination were tacit, and it would be a pity not to talk about cross talk.

"For those who come to visit friends, there is a waiting area at the door where there are refreshments and Tieguanyin."

"If you come here to ask for information..."

Xizhugan paused in his words, and his eyes fell on Nick and Matt respectively. He politely asked with his eyes, and his smile couldn't be more friendly.

But the problem is that the smile is too kind, but... it's too much.

Moreover, the two people, the thin bamboo pole and the thick mallet, looked at Nick and Matt with smiles at the same time, staring at Nick and Matt, which couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

Inexplicably, you can feel a pressure.

Obviously, there is something in the words.

This kind of hospitality is really different from what you imagined.
