You made me a superstar

Chapter 147
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 movies, gangster movies, rivers and lakes movies, comedy movies, fantasy ghost movies...

From the early 80s to the 90s, Hong Kong movies, which were blooming with a hundred flowers, dominated the Southeast Asian market with various movies on the big screen, and became popular throughout Asia. It was once called Oriental Hollywood.

At its peak, Hong Kong Island’s local income was as high as 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, and overseas box office revenue was close to 19 billion, which made Hollywood begin to pay attention to this very strong opponent.

however……

In the mid-90s, Hong Kong Island films began to show signs of decline following the invasion of major Asian markets by Hollywood blockbusters and the take-off of the mainland economy.

At the end of the 90s, the Chinese superstars who left Hong Kong Island to seek development in Hollywood were probably the last straw that crushed Hong Kong Island movies. After reaching the millennium, a few filmmakers in the Hong Kong Island film circle are keenly aware of an era Perhaps it has ushered in its doomsday, and one after another began to escape from the film circle of Hong Kong Island, taking advantage of the fame accumulated in Hong Kong Island's glory days, to come to the mainland to make money...

But 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 Grand Master", in the office on Hong Kong Island.

After the assistant director Chen Zhengkun hung up the phone, his eyes were full of gloom, then he walked into the office and looked at the waiting staff.

"That mainland boy still took the role!"

After hearing the news...

A group of dragon and tiger warriors below stared wide-eyed, and suddenly started making noises, threatening that as soon as this mainland boy entered the film crew, they would do everything possible to get this mainland boy to get out of Hong Kong Island.

"The Grand Master" is a co-production film with an investment of hundreds of millions. This is also a very terrifying big production in the entire Chinese film industry!
For such a large-scale movie, everyone, including the assistant director, hopes that the movie must be a heavyweight international superstar no matter 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 "The Grand Master"...

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

Who would have thought...

His role was actually replaced by a mainland kid!

People in Hong Kong Island movies look down on the mainlanders themselves. Five or six years ago, when some mainlanders went to a certain development in Hong Kong movies, everyone thought they were a bunch of pugs and licked them hard.

Yen Ziwu himself didn't say anything, and he didn't complain in the media, he just asked the nanny car to be driven away silently.

But the crew on the set exploded.

It's fine if it's an ordinary movie, but this is "The Grand Master", this is a martial arts movie, a martial arts movie that hits the ground, and it will be released to show the world the essence of true Chinese movies...

What kind of bird man is Zhou Yang?
Do you have martial arts skills?

Do you have the basics of filmmaking?
A person who was born in Yeluzi was lucky enough to win a no-nonsense literary and artistic award in Berlin, so why should he treat himself as an onion?

The gang of dragon and tiger warriors turned even paler when they heard Huang Jiacheng confirming the news on the phone.

Although they have no status in the crew, they are still very angry.

They themselves are stand-ins, and they can save a little effort when performing moves for those professional martial arts superstars, but Zhou Yang, a layman making such a difficult fighting movie, must they do all the moves by themselves?

Look at Zhou Yang's appearance!

This looks so much like a little fresh meat with an embroidered pillow, do you think this is a romance movie?What about dance films?
"Okay, okay, this is the end of the matter, there is nothing to say, everyone work hard, read the book carefully, and wait for Daluzi to come..."

"I will contact Mr. Zhen Ziwu again later, this matter has not been finalized..."

"..."

The assistant director Chen Zhengkun waved his hands at 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.

Ever since being pinched by Huang Jiacheng, Zhou Yang felt that his bones were in pain as if they were about to fall apart, and his muscles were so sore that they seemed to be wasted.

but……

Huang Jiacheng didn't care about these, he formulated a number of training tasks with Zhou Yang very seriously.

The first item is Zama step.

From the first 5 minutes to the next 10 minutes, step by step.

Even at the back, Huang Jiacheng asked Zhou Yang to stretch out his hands, just like in the martial arts movies of the previous years, holding a bucket and striding forward.

Hong Quan requires the body to be upright and steady, with a firm foot.

Not only that, after finishing the horse stance, the second item has to practice fists, 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 Practice was also taken out by Huang Jiacheng for Zhou Yang to practice...

After Zhou Yang practiced for a while!
Huang Jiacheng felt that the time was almost up, and even specially found a martial arts instructor named Xu Hong from Hong Kong Island to be Zhou Yang's training partner.

It's said to be a sparring partner, but basically it's just pressing and feeding, and beating Zhou Yang fiercely at the same time!

Several times, Zhou Yang was beaten until he couldn't stand upright, his whole body was shaking.

"Do you know what talent is? Talent is something that God gives you. For example, you have great strength. For example, you are born faster than others. For example, you react faster than others and learn faster than others. , so you are very talented, and you can practice boxing quickly... This is your natural 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 will be beaten first if you beat someone. 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. Superstar Zhang Shaolei just arrived in Xiangjiang, when he was filming "Wing Chun", he was beaten to death..."

.........

A week later.

"Hey, it's almost there, this thing has to be done step by step, the body will not be able to bear it if you continue to fight like this..."

"..."

Huang Jiacheng looked at Zhou Yang being beaten so badly that he wanted to speak out to provoke Zhou Yang and make Zhou Yang persevere, but when he saw Zhou Yang being repeatedly knocked down by Xu Hong, he stood up again and again and continued to follow. After Xu Hong fed the move together, Huang Jiacheng suddenly felt something was wrong!
This product is totally different from others!
Others were beaten several times, and in the pain and howling, the first thought was to give up!

And this one!
This guy was thrown two or three meters away by Xu Hong like a sandbag, and he just gritted his teeth and got up when he was hit hard on the ground, and continued to feed Xu Hong without saying a word. The Huang family was terrified.

Can't this thing feel pain?

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

He couldn't help being astonished, and also felt a little admiration for this young man's astonishing perseverance.

"Got to practice the piano!"

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

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

Martial arts instructor Xu Hong stared at Zhou Yang's back, dumbfounded.

"Does this guy not feel pain? Why does he feel the strength of his body, which is 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 would not be able to bear the pain of this kind of transformation of "practicing martial arts", but he never expected that this guy was just like a monster, completely based on the attitude of practicing to death if he can't die , 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 drill him?" Xu Hong asked again.

"Go on! I want to see where the limit of this guy is, but if something is wrong, do you want to tell me?"

"knew."

........................

Zhou Yang was very busy and in pain.

However, he is full.

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

After the beating, although his body was very painful, Zhou Yang would still spend two hours practicing the piano, and then spend another half an hour learning about musical instruments, and finally teach English with a foreigner for two hours before going to bed.

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

He was very tired, his fingers were shaking when he was playing the piano, and his joints were painful. As he practiced, he closed his eyes and didn't 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 spiritual rest, and even had an illusion that was almost supernatural...

Even if he closes his eyes, he still feels that he can clearly feel every key of the piano.

Then, when you play, you can almost play blind.

Playing the simple basic piece over and over again, from playing a few notes at the beginning to becoming more and more proficient in playing later, and being able to play all the music in one go, Zhou Yang has a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, his sleep quality is very good.

After reviewing the knowledge he had learned every day and watching various fighting videos, Zhou Yang could sleep in bed with his eyes closed, and then lay down until the next day, feeling extremely full of energy.

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

The time was spent in Zhou Yang's boring and boring lonely practice...

Zhou Yang felt the transformation of his body and spirit...

A month later.

The morning of August [-]st.

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

"Coach Xu, why don't we try it? I want to know how far we are from you..."

"..."
