Chapter 212 Textbook-Level Fighting
"Fast Train Warrior"
This is a very traditional and outdated movie, and the fan club did not choose to release it in theaters this time.
There's no need for that anymore; a dragon's movie doesn't need box office numbers to prove anything.
Upon seeing the next movie to be shown, Gong Xueer immediately contacted Annie.
Annie, who is far away overseas, has been harassed by Gong Xueer every day lately, experiencing both pain and pleasure.
“Xue’er, if you really want to know about dragons, why don’t you just bypass the Great Firewall and buy a membership on Rotten Sweet Potato, then watch movies?” Annie suggested.
"You think bypassing the Great Firewall is that easy? Besides, Rotten Sweet Potato doesn't support online payments in China, and converting it would be too troublesome. It's not easy for me to do it either."
"Well, how should I put it about this movie? The fight scenes are really exciting. It's said that when the movie was released, many media outlets called it a 'textbook-level fight scene'."
"Why would you say that?" Gong Xue'er asked curiously, eager to see the movie.
"Of course it's because the fight scenes are amazing, and I want to remind you that this is not a simple performance, but real combat."
Anne thought for a moment and then said this.
"Real combat with real weapons?" Gong Xue'er was startled when she heard this. Could movies really be made for real?
Annie didn't explain much, but sent over some screenshots of information that were easy to obtain abroad but rarely seen in China. After looking at these materials, Gong Xueer sat there in a daze.
...
On the internet.
The discussion about whether Zhou Tianyi knows kung fu is intensifying.
Even Huang Qi knew about it.
Some netizens know Huang Qi's identity; they know he is a martial arts master who has won the martial arts performance championship for many consecutive years and has won countless trophies.
So, people who knew Huang Qi tagged him on Weibo, wanting him to comment on whether Zhou Tianyi actually knew kung fu.
Huang Qi didn't care at first; Weibo was just a pastime for him during his martial arts practice. But as more and more people tagged and messaged him, Huang Qi finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He was somewhat helpless, wondering if it was even worth discussing whether there would be real kung fu in movies.
Who doesn't know that what's shown in movies is all fake?
Huang Qi was prepared to give a perfunctory answer to the questions from netizens.
However, after watching the movie "Lucky Star Project", he changed his mind.
The fluidity of some movements is indeed something that beginners cannot achieve.
So he replied, "Long knows a little kung fu, but not much."
The reply was very simple, the evaluation was impartial, and it did not offend anyone.
However, the fans were not convinced and continued to ask, "Master Huang, do you think Long can beat the boxing champion?"
As soon as this question was raised, not only Huang's fans, but even the netizens watching couldn't sit still and started to laugh at it.
"You need to understand that martial arts performances and real combat are two different concepts. Those boxing champions fought their way up from the ranks of thousands of soldiers. How can Long compare?"
"Even someone like me who doesn't watch kung fu movies knows that although Lung knows kung fu, how could he possibly be a match for a boxing champion?"
"A world-class boxing champion, let alone one Dragon, even if ten Dragons came, he could probably knock them out with one punch."
"There's no comparison at all. It's like you're holding a bow and arrow while someone else is holding a pistol. You won't even have a chance to use your skills before they kill you."
Many netizens felt there was no controversy surrounding this answer, so Huang Qi did not reply.
His silence, however, led some fans to believe that Long's real kung fu skills might not be inferior to those of the boxing champion.
"Let professionals handle professional matters. Boxing champions risk their lives, so why wouldn't Dragon risk his life when making movies?"
"Ask a boxing champion if he would risk his life like Lung when making movies. He might not die if he loses a fight, but if he makes a mistake while making a movie, he will either die or be maimed."
"There are limitations to championship boxing matches, unless it's an underground boxing match. In that case, I feel that even if ten Dragons came at you together, they wouldn't be a match, since every fight there is a life-or-death struggle."
The two sides started arguing about the issue again, and Huang Qi's silence made both sides feel that they were right.
Just then, a netizen replied: "Stop arguing, the Fighting Master has already answered this question."
The Fighting Master is a true fighter with rich combat experience. He has fought against many masters and participated in boxing matches overseas. Although he did not win the championship, he is still very famous.
Upon hearing this, even he was alarmed, and a group of netizens rushed to his Weibo page. When they saw his reply, they were quite surprised.
"Fighting is not a martial arts performance. In the eyes of a fighter, a novice's skills are no different from an ordinary person's. One punch can knock him down. If one punch doesn't knock him down, then another punch will do."
The words reveal the pride of a fighter, and this pride is shared with many netizens.
"Even the senior martial arts master said so, so the result is obvious. At most, Long knows some kung fu, but he's definitely not good at real combat."
Seeing the netizens' replies, the Fighting Master was actually a little annoyed. It seems like anyone can try to take advantage of a fighter these days.
Is Dragon working himself to the bone when making movies?
Fighters don't risk their lives?
Being a fighter is inherently a dangerous profession; a slight mistake can result in lifelong disability.
To compare a mediocre movie actor to a professional fighter is ridiculous. Do they really think professional fighters fight with their mouths?
He originally didn't intend to pay attention to this kind of thing, but the netizens kept saying things that were more and more outrageous.
If he hadn't seen it, that would have been fine, but since he did see it, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. That's why he stood up to uphold the dignity of the fighters.
And so, after the fighters spoke out, the heated discussion about this issue gradually subsided.
While everyone was discussing it, Zhou Tianyi's second film was finally released on various platforms.
Gong Xueer watched the movie immediately. It was the same familiar movie style, with an exotic atmosphere.
"Fast & Furious" tells the story of two handsome men who encounter a female thief in a foreign land. The story itself is nothing new, but the key is the abundance of fight scenes.
Compared to his first film, Zhou Tianyi's fighting style has clearly improved in this movie, and he has learned to make perfect use of the environment to create excellent fight scenes.
Gong Xueer originally thought the second movie would be like the first, with serious fight scenes, but to her surprise, the fight scenes in the second movie were surprisingly funny.
Finally, after watching the previous episodes, we arrived at the scene in Annie's file. When boxer Benny appeared, Gong Xueer was almost startled.
Ruthless, absolutely ruthless. Just look at those eyes, and I don't know how many opponents he's taken down.
Faced with such a formidable opponent, Gong Xueer worried for the first time about Long on screen, fearing that he might be accidentally killed by the boxing champion with a single punch.
“Annie told me that this ten-minute fight was a textbook example of fighting, with no superfluous movements throughout. It was realistic... no, not just realistic, but a real duel with real weapons, and the fists and feet were full of killing intent.”
