You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 147 Crazy Study

   Whether it is the original world or the film circle of this world, Hong Kong Island movies are a milestone that cannot be ignored.

   He represents an era of Chinese cinema.

   Kung Fu films, police and bandit films, Jianghu films, comedy films, fantasy and ghost films…

  From the early 1980s to the 1990s, Hong Kong films with a hundred flowers bloomed on the big screen, using a variety of films to dominate the Southeast Asian market and swept the entire Asia, once known as the Hollywood of the East.

   At its peak, the local revenue of Hong Kong Island was as high as 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the overseas box office revenue was close to 1.9 billion, which made Hollywood start to pay attention to this very strong opponent.

However……

  In the mid-1990s, Hong Kong Island movies began to show signs of decline after Hollywood blockbusters invaded major markets in Asia and the mainland's economy took off.

In the late 1990s, the Chinese superstars who left Hong Kong Island to seek development in Hollywood were probably the last straw that broke Hong Kong Island films. After reaching the millennium, a few filmmakers in Hong Kong Island film circles were keenly aware An era may have ushered in its doomsday, and they have begun to flee the Hong Kong Island film circle, using the fame accumulated in the once glorious time of Hong Kong Island to come to the mainland to make money...

   However, most filmmakers are still immersed in the prosperity of the past, and they always feel that the story of "Oriental Hollywood" is just a pause, not an end.

   "The Grandmaster", in the Hong Kong Island office.

  Assistant director Chen Zhengkun hung up the phone with a haze in his eyes, then walked into the office and looked at the waiting staff.

   "That mainland boy still took over this role!"

  When I heard the news...

The gang of dragon and tiger warriors under    widened their eyes and suddenly became noisy, threatening that as soon as this mainland boy entered the crew, they would do everything possible to get this mainland boy out of Hong Kong Island.

   "The Grand Master" is a co-production film with an investment of hundreds of millions, which is also a very scary big production in the entire Chinese film industry!

   For such a large-scale film, everyone including the assistant director hopes that the film must be a heavyweight international superstar, whether it is a decent or a villain.

   They drew up a list and invited Huo Yuanjie, Donnie Yen, Zhang Shaolei and other international superstars to participate in this "Grandmaster"...

   Huo Yuanjie, Donnie Yen and Zhang Shaolei have already accepted the invitation, and even Donnie Yen, the nanny who is planning to play the villain, drove to the Grandmaster crew, just waiting for "The Grandmaster" to start filming.

  Who would have thought...

   His role was actually replaced by a mainland boy!

  Hong Kong Island film people have some disdain for the mainland children themselves. When some mainland children ran for the development of Hong Kong Island movies five or six years ago, everyone thought that they were a group of pugs, and they kept licking them.

   Donnie Yen didn't say anything, and didn't complain in the media, just let the nanny car drive away silently.

   But the crew on the set exploded.

   If it’s a normal movie, it’s fine, but this is “The Grandmaster”, this is a martial arts movie, a martial arts movie that hits the nail on the head, and it will be released to show the world the essence of a real Chinese movie...

   What kind of birdman is Zhou Yang?

  Do you have martial arts skills?

   Do you have the foundation for making movies?

  A person born in a wild way, by luck, won a literary award in Berlin that is neither too light nor too heavy, so why do you think he is a scallion?

The    group of dragon and tiger martial artists became even more pale when they heard Huang Jiacheng confirm the news on the phone.

   Although they have little status in the crew, they are also very angry.

   They are stand-ins themselves. When they perform moves for those professional martial arts superstars, they can save a little effort, but Zhou Yang, a layman who makes such a difficult fighting movie, shouldn’t it be all their own actions?

  Look at Zhou Yang!

   This looks like a little fresh meat with an embroidered pillow, do you think this is a love movie? What about dance movies?

   "Alright, alright, this is the end of the matter, there is nothing to say, everyone work hard, read the book well, and wait until the mainland boy comes..."

   "I will contact Mr. Donnie Yen in the future, this matter has not been finalized..."

  “…”

  Assistant director Chen Zhengkun waved to everyone, suppressing the negative emotions of this group of unruly staff.

   However, the haze in his heart became stronger.

  ……………………

   Zhou Yang didn't know what happened on Hong Kong Island.

   All he knew was that he was in pain.

   After being pinched by Huang Jiacheng, Zhou Yang felt as if his bones were going to fall apart in pain, and his muscles were even more sore as if they were abolished.

but……

   Huang Jiacheng didn't care about this. He set up a number of training tasks with Zhou Yang very seriously.

The first item    is the Zama step.

   From the first five minutes to the next ten minutes, step by step.

   Even at the back, Huang Jiacheng asked Zhou Yang to stretch out his hands, like in the martial arts movies of earlier years, carrying a bucket and striding on a horse.

  Hongquan requires the body to be steady and firm to the bottom.

Not only that, after the horse stance, the second item has to practice boxing, palms, fingers, claws, hooks, crane top hands and other hand shapes, like the wooden stakes in the movie "Ip Man" that Zhou Yang once watched. The practice was also taken out by Huang Jiacheng for Zhou Yang to practice...

   After practicing with Zhou Yang for a while!

   Huang Jiacheng felt that the time was almost up, and even found a martial arts instructor named Xu Hong from Hong Kong Island to be Zhou Yang's sparring partner.

   It is said to be a sparring practice, but basically it is pressing while feeding tricks, while beating Zhou Yang fiercely!

   Zhou Yang was beaten several times until he could not stand up straight, and his whole body was shaking.

"Do you know what extraordinary talent is? Innate talent is something God gave you. For example, you are very powerful. For example, you are inherently faster than others. For example, you can react faster than others and learn faster than others. , so you have an extraordinary talent, and you can practice boxing quickly... This is an extraordinary talent. Obviously, I touched your bones a few days ago and found that your bones are different from ordinary people's bones and can withstand a lot of explosive force... …”

"Although you are old now, no matter what, you beat someone first. If you can't stand it, you can only give up. After all, when you went to Xiangjiang, those people were not so polite to you. When the superstar Zhang Shaolei arrived in Xiangjiang, he was beaten for half his life while filming "Wing Chun"..."

  …………

   A week later.

   "Hey, it's almost there, this thing has to be done step by step. If you keep fighting like this, your body will be overwhelmed..."

  “…”

Huang Jiacheng looked at Zhou Yang being beaten so badly that he wanted to provoke Zhou Yang and let Zhou Yang persevere, but when he saw Zhou Yang being beaten down repeatedly by Xu Hong, he stood up again and again and continued to follow. After Xu Hong fed the recruits together, Huang Jiacheng suddenly felt that something was wrong!

  This product is totally different from others!

  Others were beaten several times, crying in pain, and the first thought was to give up!

   And this stuff!

   This product was continuously thrown two or three meters away by Xu Hong like a sandbag. He was hit **** the ground but only got up with gritted teeth. After he continued to feed Xu Hong without saying a word, Huang Jiacheng was shocked.

   Does this product feel pain?

   After the rest time, Huang Jiacheng personally checked Zhou Yang's body, but found that Zhou Yang's body was densely covered with bruises.

   He couldn't help being astonished, and he also had some admiration for this young man's amazing perseverance.

   "Got to practice the piano!"

   "Director Huang, Coach Xu, I've been there for a few hours first, and I'll come back at night to hit the wooden dummy!"

   After lying down for a while, Zhou Yang gnashed his teeth and stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the time, then staggered and walked towards the piano training room step by step.

  The martial arts instructor Xu Hong was stunned when he saw Zhou Yang's back.

   "Does this guy feel no pain? Why does he feel the power in him, it's no different from hitting a sandbag!"

   Huang Jiacheng looked at the direction in which Zhou Yang disappeared, but fell into a long silence.

At the beginning, he was actually very worried that Zhou Yang couldn't bear the suffering of this kind of transformation from "practicing martial arts", but he didn't expect that this guy was just like a monster. , there is no need for him to worry at all...

   He even had an indescribable horror in his heart.

   This guy's willpower is really amazing. If he is more than ten years younger, this guy might really be able to practice some tricks!

   "Will you continue to practice him next?" Xu Hong asked again.

   "Go ahead! I want to see where this guy's limits are, but if something is a little off, will you let me know?"

"knew."

  ……………………

   Zhou Yang is very busy and painful.

   However, he was full.

   There seemed to be a flame burning in his heart, immersing him in that crazy learning state.

   After the beating, although his body was very painful, Zhou Yang still took two hours to practice the piano, then another half an hour to learn about musical instruments, and finally, before going to bed, he taught English for two hours.

  At first, Zhou Yang was very uncomfortable with this state...

   He was very tired, his fingers were shaking when he played the piano, and his joints were even more painful. As he practiced, he closed his eyes and didn't even know what he was playing...

But.

   Gradually, when Zhou Yang began to get used to this feeling, he felt that practicing the piano was a kind of rest for the mind, and even had an illusion that was almost supernatural...

   Even if he closed his eyes, he felt that he could clearly feel every key of the piano.

   Then, when playing, almost blind.

   Playing the simple basic songs over and over again, from the very beginning, after playing a few notes to the more proficient in the later, Zhou Yang has a great sense of achievement after he can play all the music in one go.

   Of course, he sleeps very well.

   After reviewing the knowledge he had learned every day and watching various fighting videos, Zhou Yang could sleep with his eyes closed while lying on the bed.

   His appetite also started to increase, more than twice as much as before...

   Time was spent in Zhou Yang's repeated, boring and lonely practice...

   Zhou Yang felt his body and spirit reborn...

   One month later.

   The morning of August 1st.

   Zhou Yang walked into the training room. After squatting, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly looked at Xu Hong.

   "Coach Xu, how about we really try? I want to know how far behind you are..."

  “…”
