The reincarnation of the movie king

Guangdong Province in the early 1930s was the era of Chen Bonan. The northern country was raging at war, but here it was still a life of wealth and prosperity.

For people in Guangdong Province, the war is news in newspapers. They will also be worried about the country and feel sad for the people, but the cakes for morning tea will not be less than half a piece, and when they go to the church in the evening, they will not miss one of their cousins.

These days, entertainment activities are extremely scarce, so it has become common for men to go out to parties.

Not necessarily just to go whoring, most of them come to listen to the theater, drink tea, play cards, and chat.

In Foshan, the most famous playground is Gonghe Building in Yingshazui.

Gonghe Tower is magnificent and extravagant, so everyone calls it the Golden Tower.

This is the first gold-selling cave with an elevator in Guangdong Province. It is said that the prince can enter and the eunuch will exit. People who are not rich cannot enter this door. If you have money but no ability and enter here, you will often just be treated as a fat sheep.

A venue that is making a lot of money every day must have an unimaginable background behind it, which will shock the greedy eyes of all parties.

In this troubled world, it is inevitable that there will be some desperate gangsters, so the owner of this building paid a lot of money to hire martial arts heroes to come here to "watch the show."

Watching the warriors in a quiet and thoughtful place, it is inevitable to call friends to have a discussion here. Over time, Jinlou has become a gathering place for martial arts practitioners in Guangdong Province. Many warriors come here to relax, and many of them have hidden secrets. Master of exposure.

For example, Ip Man.

Different from the north, in Guangdong Province, everyone who practices martial arts is from a good family background.

For example, Chen Shi, whose family was known as the Ninety-ninth Floor, was a famous big landowner in Foshan. But a war destroyed his family fortune, and he had no choice but to live in Southeast Asia, where he has been wandering to this day.

Ip Man's family is also a well-known wealthy family in Foshan. His father runs a north-south business in Wenchang West Street, Hong Kong Island. Ye is known as Pedri Ye in Foshan, which means that the entire Pedri belongs to his family.

Ip Man is forty years old this year. He has had no worries about food and clothing since he was born. He is also married to the daughter of Zhang Menghuan, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that his family is harmonious, prosperous and happy.

Ye Wen is Chen Shi's junior brother. Now, Su Yi and him can be considered as classmates.

The name of Jinmen Heroes is well-known even in Guangdong Province, and is known to both young and old.

The information about Geng Liangchen was dug up by the powerful newspaper, so before senior brother Chen Shi's letter was sent back, Ip Man learned from the newspaper that Chen Shi's uncle Liang Bi had accepted Su Yi After entering the Wing Chun Gate, he became his senior brother.

This is a very strange feeling. Ye Wen can't say he rejects it, but he definitely doesn't like it.

Because since Geng Liangchen became famous, he has gained another title - the senior brother of Jinmen Heroes.

Anyone with pride doesn't like to be called so-and-so, and so does Ip Man.

What's more, Geng Liangchen's fame spread all over the world, which made Wing Chun also famous. There was an endless stream of people who came to Ip Man to apprentice and challenge him.

Ip Man doesn't want to accept a disciple at all, and he doesn't want to compete with others. He can't bear to be disturbed, so it's strange that he likes Su Yi, the instigator.

Ye Wen knew very well that he and Geng Liangchen would meet sooner or later. After all, they were brothers in the same sect. If the other party respected the etiquette, he would definitely come to Foshan to worship the ancestor.

But he wasn't looking forward to this meeting.

For Ip Man, he is very satisfied and satisfied with his current life.

Every day I walk the birds and play with the dog in the hall, drink tea, take a walk and practice martial arts. I go out with a crowd of relatives and friends, and come home with my lovely wife to accompany me. It is comfortable and fulfilling.

He didn't want to bother anyone, but it was best that no one bothered him.

It's a pity that the world is a vanity fair, who can escape it?

What's more, in troubled times, how can we escape?

Until now, Ip Man still doesn't understand this truth.

Some truths can only be understood after paying a heavy price.

"Why am I leading the team?"

In Jinlou, Ye Wen looked puzzled when facing the seniors: "The martial arts competition between the north and the south is to select fighters for the World Fighting Championship, but it is actually a battle of spirits between the north and the south, where the east wind overwhelms the west wind. This is It’s not a trivial matter, it’s related to the face of the entire southern martial arts community.”

"What qualifications do I, Ip Man, have to represent the southern martial arts world? In terms of martial arts, there are Hong, Liu, Cai, Li, and Mo in southern martial arts. In terms of seniority, everyone here is an elder. They are either the master or the owner of the gym. It is not my turn. Bar?"

"The person to lead the team in the north has been decided. He is your junior brother, the famous Jinmen hero." A strong man said, "Then who should we choose from the south? It is not appropriate to choose anyone! The one with higher seniority, No one is as famous as someone who is low in status and seniority. After much thought, it is most suitable for you, my fellow disciple, to go, and it won’t hurt your friendship!”

"Yes, you are the most suitable!"

"Don't refuse, it's up to you!"

Everyone was shouting.

A helpless smile appeared on Ye Wen's lips, and he said: "Seniors, leading a team is to fight and compete, not just to show off. I'm afraid I can't convince the crowd, so you should hire someone else."

"It's not like we don't know about your Ip Man skills, you're just too lazy. Otherwise, I think you should be famous! You are a suitable leader. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come and talk to us!"

"That's right, if you push back the mother-in-law and mother-in-law, why don't you just do it?"

"Ip Man, you are right about one thing. This trial for the All Nations Fighting Championship is indeed about the reputation of the southern martial arts world." A spirited old man said, "Why did Gong Monkey set the venue in the south? In Foshan? He just wants us to see how he has developed the northern martial arts world over the years!"

"We Foshan people pay attention to harmony and wealth, unlike northerners who fight for strength and make everything messy. We practice martial arts and guns, and we also close the door to strengthen our body, cultivate our character, and play by ourselves."

"But people can't stand us. They think we are closed-minded and conservative, and want to break our circle and mess up our lives! Humph! Back then, his palace monkey and Li Renchao teamed up to stage the Five Tigers Going to Jiangnan. It was a mess, with fights going on in the street all day long, ping ping ping ping ping ping ping pong..."

"Later, when Li Renchao fell, a group of us old guys took the opportunity to mess up that bullshit Guangdong and Guangxi Martial Arts School. This gave us peace over the years. Otherwise, do you think you, Ip Man, can safely collect rent in Pedri?" Son? Haha, stop dreaming, you have long been disturbed!"

"I'm so restless right now..." Ye Wen sighed.

"Gong Houhou has always been bitter about us Foshan people messing up his good deeds. This time he used the excuse of the World Fighting Competition to cause trouble again, and even introduced Geng Liangchen to represent their north to disgust us! Ip Man, You are also a member of our southern martial arts community, and it is your fellow disciple who is here to stir up trouble. Tell me, if you don’t join, who will?”

"That's right! Although we Foshan people usually like to make small calculations, we have never been afraid of anyone if we really take action. Who are we afraid of?"

"That's right! People came to our door today to challenge us. We can't pretend to be grandsons! Don't you think so?"

"Brother Shou is right, Ip Man, it's you!"

The crowd was furious, and Ye Wen smiled bitterly as he picked up the tea and took a sip.

At this moment, he suddenly had a very bad premonition. He felt that the dull days of the first half of his life would be gone forever.

When he got home, the light at the door of the house was on, and his wife was sitting in the main hall, looking at a worn-out storybook, waiting for his return.

This ordinary scene in the past actually made Ye Wen feel a little sad today.

His wife doesn't like him being strong and brave, but the world is full of troubles, and now he is just rushing to get on the shelf, and he has to go if he doesn't want to go.

"Back." When his wife noticed his return, she put down her script, stood up and said to him with a smile.

While rubbing her sore eyes, she took his coat and said softly: "I'm going to get some water."

Ye Wen grabbed his wife's hand: "Don't be busy, I have something to tell you."

Ye Wen did not hide anything, and told his wife the whole story, and finally said: "These days, our family has been disturbed by apprentices and challenges. Although I have been restrained, this is not the solution. Since I can’t escape now, I thought I’d just settle all the troubles once and for all.”

"How could it be as easy as you said?" The wife shook her head and sighed quietly, "After entering Vanity Fair, can you still control yourself?"

Ye Wen was slightly silent and said: "Fistes and feet have no eyes, and it is inevitable to hurt people. Although it is a competition, I am afraid that I will encounter evil people and implicate my family..."

"Tomorrow I will take the child back to my parents' home so that you will have less to worry about." The wife said very understandingly, "When a man is over forty, he has to do something he is sure of. When this matter is over, you come to pick me up..."

Su Yi arrived in Foshan early the next morning.

He came with the four masters Gong Baosen, Li Shuwen, Ma Yingtu and Yang Chengpu.

Accompanying them were Su Yi's fifteen disciples, as well as a northern martial arts delegation of more than 300 people from various northern sects.

Hundreds of people marched into the city and headed straight for the Golden Tower.

When we arrived at the entrance of Jinlou, gongs and drums were roaring and firecrackers were blasting. Representatives from the southern martial arts community were also waiting at the entrance of Jinlou.

Dragon and lion dances were performed to welcome distinguished guests. Finally, the dragon's head came to Gong Baosen, and a cheongsam woman brought a cinnabar brush.

Gong Baosen picked up the brush with a smile and used it to draw a stroke on each of the dragon's eyes.

Bang bang bang...

Fireworks bloomed together, dragons and tigers leaped.

This is called the finishing touch, which means that the distinguished guests will welcome you and make the dish shine.

The dragons and tigers dispersed, and the representatives of the southern martial arts community greeted them with smiles and cupped hands.

"Master Gong, Master Li, Master Yang, Master Ma, and all the martial arts colleagues from the north. He and the martial arts people from the south welcome you all. Masters, you have worked hard all the way..."

"What are you talking about, Master He? It's because we are bothering you so much... I'll introduce it to you..."

After some pleasantries, Su Yi and Ye Wen also greeted each other.

This was the first time that nominal senior brothers met. Neither of them seemed to be moved by the feeling of "fellow fellows see fellow fellows with tears in their eyes". They just greeted each other indifferently. One called him "senior brother" and the other called "junior brother", then they looked at each other in silence. Just smile.

Unlike facing Mr. Zhou and facing Ip Man, Su Yi has long lost the pilgrim mentality of facing historical celebrities.

Firstly, with his current status in the world, he far surpasses Ip Man; secondly, with his current martial arts skills, he thinks he will never lose to this Wing Chun master.

After some humility, everyone filed in and entered the golden building.

There are many splendid places in the north, but there is no place like the Golden Tower where the rooms are so exquisite.

Most of the northern warriors came from poor backgrounds. Seeing such extravagance and a room full of warblers and warblers passing by, they immediately couldn't take their eyes away, and some even made a fool of themselves on the spot.

The southern warriors didn't say anything, but they couldn't hide the teasing and ridicule in their eyes.

There was a hot-tempered man who couldn't stand the "strange yin and yang" of the southern warriors, so they immediately started a conflict, shouting and goring up the ox.

But they were soon scolded and pulled away by their respective elders.

The masters naturally had a panoramic view of these details, but no one spoke about them, as if they had never seen them.

Soon, the grandmasters humbly accommodated each other and took their seats, with the northern and southern grandmasters lined up on the left and right.

Su Yi and Ye Wen were also moved to the stage.

The southern warrior cast a curious look at Su Yi, marveling at the sight of a living Jinmen hero for the first time.

The northern warriors looked at Ip Wen carefully and suspiciously, discussing how could this man be on an equal footing with Geng Daxia?

What? Is he Geng Daxia’s senior brother?

That's okay...

On the stage, Master He from the south cleared his throat, stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be quiet! Next, I would like to invite Gong Yutian, the president of our Chinese Warriors Association, the deputy director of the Central Martial Arts Center, and the leader of the Xingyi Bagua Sect. Master Gong, give a speech to everyone!"

Wow...

The applause was thunderous.

Gong Baosen stood up with a smile on his face and held his hands in all directions.

After the voice calmed down, he spoke slowly.

"I have only accomplished four things in my life to this day. The first is to merge the Xingyi Sect and the Bagua Sect, allowing the two sects to join forces and merge into one; the second is to take over my senior brother's class and take charge of the affairs. The Chinese Samurai Association united more than a dozen sects such as Tongbei, Paochui, Tai Chi, and Yan Qing to join; third, it gathered northern boxers to go south to pass on their skills."

At this point, Gong Baosen's face became a little serious: "In the 18th year of the Republic of China, the Guangdong and Guangxi Martial Arts Museum was established. The Five Tigers' expedition to the south of the Yangtze River was agreed upon by Mr. Li Renchao and I in this golden building. Unfortunately, the current situation was turbulent. The good times of accommodation were ruined by the war, and I regret this to this day."

These words made some of the senior martial arts veterans in the south look a little unnatural.

Gong Baosen's expression softened slightly, and he continued: "The fourth thing is the Jinmen National Martial Arts Classic half a year ago! In this event, there are 216 martial arts sects, with a total of 5,463 The participation of a single martial artist is the most successful event in the history of our martial arts community!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.

Especially the southern warriors, each of them looked incredulous and shocked.

The martial arts people in the south all know that Gong Baosen organized a tournament in Tianjin that shocked the whole country, but what was published in the newspapers was who won today, who lost tomorrow, who Geng Liangchen fought again, and how hard he fought. abuse……

News like this.

But it was the first time they learned how large the competition was and how many people were participating.
