Chapter 32: Learning from a Master

So a foster father is always a foster father. Seeing Su Yun trying so hard to hint with her eyes, Xu Gujie smiled in his heart, and then introduced her to Lu Shaolong: "Bruce, this is my foster daughter, and I will be marrying her tonight."

"She learned it just by watching me type, and she learned it very quickly!" Lin Bao, her godmother, also helped explain, "Little Mary was the champion of the science and technology project in the 18 districts competition in Hong Kong last year."

"And she is also the leading lady in a movie that grossed 5.2 million yuan at the box office." Although the movie poster listed Su Yun as a supporting actress, Lu Shaolong, who took his family to the cinema to watch the movie, is also an insider in the industry and naturally knows the connection.

So he added with a smile, then lowered his head and extended his hand, "Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Bruce."

"Hello, my name is Mary." Su Yun suppressed the excitement in her heart and stretched out her hand to shake hands with the Kung Fu King.

In this ancient era when foreigners were still superior to others in the minds of many people, he did not have the inferiority complex that he usually had when facing foreigners. Instead, he confidently stood up to subvert the Westerners' impression of China. He deserves the praise of this Kung Fu King.

It took only a few years for him to go from a pioneer of Kung Fu movies to an accomplished master, and he remained deeply passionate about Kung Fu until the very last moment.

Therefore, Su Yun actually does not understand the idea of ​​some action stars who have made a name for themselves through kung fu movies and then want to get rid of the influence of kung fu movies and want to change their style - saying that if they continue to make kung fu movies, foreigners will think that they can only make kung fu movies, and cannot promote that China can make any type of movies...

Foreigners can’t capture this flavor even if they want to!

A person who can do many kinds of jobs and do them well is naturally admirable; but a person who spends his entire life loving and focusing on one thing or one job is also worthy of respect.

Just like the first impression of every place: Hollywood's special effects blockbusters, European art films, Indian musicals, and Chinese Kung Fu films... these are all the special charms that have been precipitated by these places due to their respective historical and cultural factors, and thus developed into their current appearance.

If you are disgusted by being called the sick man of China and want to clarify it with force, there is nothing wrong with that; but most foreigners have a relatively unified impression of Chinese Kung Fu, that is, Chinese Kung Fu is mysterious, charming and particularly powerful - so why do we always reject the label "Chinese = Kung Fu masters"?

In Su Yun's view, she hopes that the whole world will deeply engrave this equation label into their flesh and blood, so that those arrogant foreigners who openly or covertly resist Chinese compatriots will be frightened when they see Chinese people, and let them truly realize that Chinese people are not easy to mess with...

"You have a lot of ideas." Lu Shaolong pondered for a moment and gave this evaluation to Su Yun's statement.

She looks quite calm, but don't think she can't see it - Lu Shaolong is obviously very fond of her idea, and he must be secretly happy about it.

Zhao's film used new-style martial arts films to counter Lu Shaolong's kung fu films. Although there were definitely people in Jiahe who tried hard to praise Lu Shaolong, the giant god who single-handedly led the entire company, the praise from adults always carries a sense of hypocrisy that is difficult to conceal.

On the contrary, children of Su Yun's age looked up at him with admiration. Even though he was also giving her a lot of compliments, his words were full of the innocence of a child's longing for the future.

It can be seen that she really likes him as a person and the kung fu movies he made from the bottom of her heart.

After all, the starry eyes of human cubs have always been the most lethal weapon to adult humans. What's more, Su Yun is not only an extremely beautiful little girl, but also the heroine and investor of a movie with a box office almost as good as his.

Beauty, wealth, introduction by acquaintances, and the fact that she is one's own little fan, all these factors combined naturally give people a very high initial liking for her.

Speaking of this, Lu Shaolong patted Xu Guwen vigorously and said, "Let's see whether your movie or my movie has a higher box office!"

"I can't compare to you in fighting, but in this case, I will never admit defeat before the result is known!" Faced with the "provocation" from his former classmate, Xu Guwen, who had written a short script, immediately expressed his position.

"When do you plan to start filming?" Su Yun asked.

"We'll wait until after 'The Perfect Match' is released in Taiwan and the second round of box office revenue is divided. Contacting people now in advance may cause problems for various reasons." From the NT$500,000 net profit of the Hong Kong box office, Xu Guwen and Xu Gujie each received NT$100,000, and the remaining NT$300,000 was in the hands of Su Yun.

The reason why they made concessions on the share of Hong Kong box office revenue was not only because they were all newcomers in the film industry and therefore the share was demanding, but also because they wanted to rely on Shangjia's distribution channels throughout Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Therefore, after splitting the Hong Kong box office revenue of 5.2 million, the total amount they received was about 1.3 million.

Excluding filming costs, publicity fees and miscellaneous expenses, the first-round net profit is this amount, which is already quite good - after all, these days a two-bedroom apartment in a wealthy area such as Zhongxi can be purchased for only about 100,000 yuan.

This is only the first round, and the box office revenue, peripheral revenue and other data from other regions have not yet been taken into account.

This is certainly not as good as the various preferential conditions of Guojia and pillar Lu Shaolong, but the Xu brothers believe that as long as they continue to work hard, they will definitely become pillar bosses at the same level as Lu Shaolong in the future.

As long as Lui Shao-lung keeps his interest in Kung Fu and Kung Fu movies, and doesn't suddenly try to mix it in with the comedy films of the Xu brothers, then Chia-Ho will have two kings in the future.

A Kung Fu King, a Comedy King.

Both are common types of box office blockbusters, and they specialize in different types of movies without hurting each other's feelings. What a perfect combination.

After dinner, when the contract was officially signed in front of a large group of people, Su Yun, holding two heavy red envelopes with one hand each, and together with the two brothers Jiaju and Jiaxiang, went to find Lu Shaolong to ask for his signature.

Lu Shaolong looked at the two bulging pockets on both sides of Su Yun's clothes with interest, then took out a pen and began to sign his name while saying, "Not a small gain, huh?"

"Hehe, my godfather, godmother and everyone else love me, so..." Su Yun smiled embarrassedly.

"Here, take it." Lu Shaolong handed over the three signed autographs.

After taking a look at the two brothers Jiaju and Jiaxiang happily showing off their autographs, Lu Shaolong looked down at Su Yun who was still beside him: "What's wrong?"

"Is your martial arts school still accepting students? How much is the tuition?" Su Yun suddenly asked.

Lu Shaolong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled helplessly: "I used to run a martial arts school in the United States, but after returning to Hong Kong, I just recruited a group of martial arts masters who I liked and planned to form a martial arts team..."

"Even when Sam wanted to learn Kung Fu from me, I didn't agree. I just sparred with him from time to time." The consequences of his increasing popularity after filming the movie are both good and bad. The bad thing is that those who wanted to spar with him in the past now want to become his disciples...

"So here in Hong Kong, I don't plan to accept any formal apprentices." He has been brave and aggressive since he was a child, and even after calming down after studying philosophy in college, he still longs for a physical fight in his heart.

"You don't accept apprentices, but you don't accept paying members either?" In order to learn some kung fu from Lu Shaolong, Su Yun tried his best to find loopholes and catch lice.

Seeing how hard she was working, Lu Shaolong was silent for a moment, and finally he sighed, sat down and gave Su Yun a brief analysis of the disadvantages of learning kung fu.

Especially since Su Yun still wanted to learn hard-style kung fu as a girl who was naturally less resistant to blows than men, the effort and sacrifice required would be even greater.

"Actually, my main purpose is to learn your method," Su Yun said.

"My method?" Lu Shaolong looked at her.

"Yes, the speed attack style." When watching a movie, Lu Shaolong's attack speed was so fast that it was difficult for the camera to capture it. Even a 0.25x slow motion was faster than the average person's punching speed... Su Yun had long been yearning for it.

In official competitions, due to differences in body size and restrictions on rules, smaller guys definitely cannot beat larger guys, so they can only be divided into weight classes; but in actual confrontations, Lu Shaolong's speed and deadly moves developed from real fighting are almost unbeatable.

Relying on a speed much faster than that of ordinary people, coupled with deliberately strengthened iron fists and steel fingers, he can take the initiative and make the opponent lose the power to resist with one move. How can he not always be invincible?

To use the terminology of the game, Lu Shaolong was supposed to be a kite-flying fighter who relied on his super high speed to win, but through hard training he acquired super high attack power comparable to that of a heavy swordsman - facing such a high-speed and high-attack opponent, it was really not unfair that he was defeated.

This kind of precise point-to-point special attack and high speed is exactly the best way for Su Yun to train given her current condition.

Especially after she got rid of the standard glasses for programmers in her life, the dynamic vision maintained by the system was particularly good, and she could capture Lu Shaolong's attack trajectory with the naked eye.

After trying it out and finding that Su Yun could really catch up with his speed, Lu Shaolong finally nodded: "Then you should try to practice with me for the time being."

After confirming that Lu Shaolong had accepted her, Su Yun quickly covered her chest: having good dynamic vision to be able to catch Lu Shaolong's attack trajectory with the naked eye is not a good thing. When ordinary people fight against him, they will only react and retreat when Lu Shaolong retracts his fist. However, because she successfully avoided it in advance many times, Lu Shaolong, who was inspired to fight, kept speeding up...

A fist as big as a clay pot kept coming at her face. If she wasn't in a good mood now, she would have probably collapsed halfway through her business venture again.

However, at least I got Lu Shaolong.

Thinking this, Su Yun was taken to the set of "Tiger Fighting the Dragon" by Lu Shaolong the next day.

So Su Yun took advantage of Lu Shaolong's relationship to get to know Hong Ganbao, Chen Yuanlong, Lin Jingying and other future famous martial arts film stars who were still playing minor roles.

Because he discovered Su Yun's quick reaction and dynamic vision, Lu Shaolong simply asked his martial artists to train her abilities by having a group of people chase Su Yun with hammers during their free time during filming...

Su Yun, who was being chased and moving like a snake, took the time to turn his head and look at the big guys behind him. In a trance, he seemed to be able to dream back to the major chicken-eating games of later generations.

The problem is, not only is this a live version, there are also a lot of cheaters on the enemy side, and they are all focusing their fire on her!

Relying on the memories of later generations, Su Yun avoided Chen Yuanlong's Happy House, Hongganbao's human bombs, Lin Jingying's swordsmanship, and hid Lu Shaolong's exclusive artifact: Let Cangtian know that I will not admit defeat!
