Chapter 194: Boil the Eagle
Shichahai Sports School.
In the corner of the training ground, Zhen Zidan sat alone, looking down at the letter sent by his mother from the United States.
Their family is from Cantonese and immigrated in the 1970s. Their father is now a newspaper editor, and their mother has practiced martial arts, Bagua, and Tai Chi since she was a child. She has set up a small group in the United States to teach Chinese and foreigners.
The letter said that the parents had received news from Hong Kong that "Tai Chi" was very popular and might be released in the United States. Then they would take their apprentices and friends to watch it, and then let their son practice martial arts well and try to make a movie...
Zhen Zidan smiled bitterly, of course she wanted to shoot it. She was jealous of Li Lianlian to death, but how could he have such a good opportunity? He didn't even have a friend in the martial arts team - when he was young, his emotional intelligence was extremely low and he didn't realize it. Later,
It's getting better gradually.
"Zhen Zidan!"
He silently collected the letter and was preparing for training when suddenly a senior brother shouted: "There is someone looking for you outside!"
"oh!"
He ran out to take a look and was immediately delighted. The person coming was none other than Director Li Wenhua, who had chosen the actors in the first place.
Although his emotional intelligence is low, he is still a bit pushy when facing people who are older than him and have a higher status. He hurriedly said: "Hello, Director Li!"
"Well, we have a new play. Let's meet the actors. Do you want to be in a movie?"
"I want to, director, I hope you give me a chance!"
Li Wenhua frowned. His Mandarin was not very good. Fortunately, he could dub it. He asked again: "How old are you this year?"
"18 years old!"
"Eh? Are you the same age as Jet Li?"
"yes!"
"Can I do some boxing?"
Zhen Zidan didn't say anything, and started to throw a series of punches. His official height was 173cm, but he should actually be shorter. His hair was parted, and his appearance was considered handsome, but there was always a coldness between his brows.
When I look at this person, I feel that he is very ruthless and fierce.
Li Wenhua knew something in his mind and said, "That's enough. Just wait for the news!"
"Director, what movie is it?"
""Tai Chi 2"!"
Hiss!
Zhen Zidan took a breath of Wan Qiwen and said hurriedly: "Then what should I play?"
"It hasn't been determined yet, just wait for the news."
Seeing Li Wenhua turn around and leave, he froze on the spot for a moment, jumped three feet high, and hurriedly rushed into the training ground. He stopped awkwardly and found that he didn't even have a friend to share his joy with.
the other side.
Li Wenhua was about to leave the sports school when he suddenly heard someone chasing him from behind: "Director Li! Director Li, wait a minute!"
"Xiao Li? Why are you chasing me?"
The visitor was none other than Li Lianjie. He was wearing a red sportswear and a hat. Because his hair hadn’t grown out yet, he ran up to him and said, “I heard you’re here. Come take a look. Why didn’t you come to see me?”
ah?"
"I'm not here to find you. I'll leave naturally after finishing the matter."
"Aren't you here for "Tai Chi 2"?"
"Oh, I'm here to talk to Zhen Zidan. He might play a small role, what?"
"What about me? Didn't Brother Qi say that he was from the original team?"
"Your situation is a bit complicated. Xiao Chen has been too busy recently to take care of this. You should wait for the news..."
"No, me, me!"
After Li Wenhua finished speaking, he left. Li Lianjie was extremely depressed. What do you mean by waiting for news? I may not be in "Tai Chi 2" yet? If I don't act, who else can act?
Speaking of the "Shaolin Temple" gang, he is the worst.
I have been back for a while. I think about this every day and dare not tell the coach. I have to pretend to be a good boy and train with everyone. Please! I won five gold medals and I am popular in mainland China and Hong Kong. You still have to
Want me to train?
There is a gap!
I was originally waiting for Chen Qi to come and talk about "Tai Chi 2", but he didn't even wait. Instead, Li Wenhua brought some unexpected news, and now he became anxious.
Li Lianjie found the administrative office, squatted outside for a long time, and then plucked up the courage to knock on the door.
"Xiao Li? Is something wrong?"
"Uh, something happened."
"Sit down and say, sit down and say, come and drink some water!"
The leader of the martial arts team, whose surname is Han, is very kind to his baby.
"Didn't I finish filming "Shaolin Temple"? I heard that "Tai Chi 2" is also about to be filmed. I think, I think..."
"Oh, you still want to make a movie, that's fine! Your "Tai Chi" is so popular in both places, and it can also earn foreign exchange overseas. Speaking of which, our martial arts team's face also shines brightly, and the leaders of the sports committee praised it by name.
You will definitely be commended.
If you want to make a movie, just make it, we fully support it."
"Well……"
Li Lianjie rubbed his hands. He had been in the system since he was 11 years old. He had eaten, drank, and had sex. All his personal honors were in the system. It was really hard to say it. He mooted for a long time and said, "What I mean is, I want to be a professional actor. I don't want to fight."
It’s game time.”
His head fell with the words, and he didn't dare to look at the other person's face.
Sure enough, Leader Han's smiling expression changed faster than in a Sichuan opera, and then he calmed down and said sternly: "Do you want to leave the martial arts team?"
"Um!"
"Tell me carefully, what exactly are you thinking?"
Li Lianjie was supervised by these people from childhood to adulthood, and he seemed to have a conditioned reflex. He said: "I think I have won enough gold medals and gone abroad. I have all the honors I deserve in the martial arts team. If I continue to stay, I will just keep repeating myself."
, I want to retire."
"Retire? Go and ask, is there any 18-year-old national champion who has retired? If you retire, our martial arts team will become the laughing stock of the country, and we won't even be able to keep our own baby!"
Leader Han was angry and anxious: "Xiao Li, isn't it different that we support you in making movies? Why do you have to want to leave?"
"..."
Li Lianjie stopped talking because he really felt that being in the martial arts team was no longer interesting and wanted to go to a bigger stage.
Leader Han repeatedly persuaded him, but seeing that he remained silent, he slammed the table and said angrily: "You are a staff member! Your work relationship and identity relationship are all here. According to national regulations, unless you are injured or age
You can only retire when you are older, don’t even think about anything else!”
The martial arts team is affiliated to the Sports Commission.
Athletes are organized.
The binding force is very strong. It doesn't mean that you can leave if you want. You need public approval - just look at how difficult it is for Yao Ming to go to the NBA.
Seeing the leader acting like this, Li Lianjie swallowed his saliva and felt a little scared. He held on and said, "Well, then I'll apply to be transferred to Beijing Film Studio."
"I don't agree! The Sports Committee won't agree either! Don't use anyone to pressure me. We are two systems. We don't agree with each other... Okay, you go out and think about it for yourself. The martial arts team has no
A place that treats you badly!"
Seeing him stumbling out in despair, Leader Han banged the table again angrily.
In his opinion, the martial arts team has trained you, and if you want to leave after you become famous, that is called ungratefulness. Moreover, Li Lianlian is very popular now. Whether he is making movies, playing games, or earning foreign exchange, this is all to bring shame to the sports system!
How could you let him go?
Movies are a matter of the cultural system. The sports system really doesn’t accept that, but it still wants to flourish in both culture and sports?
…………
That night, Li Lianjie didn't sleep all night.
After thinking over and over again, Leader Han's words always echoed in my ears: "Unless you are injured or you are old..."
"Injured? Injured?"
There was a moment when this impulse surged out of him, and he was so frightened that he immediately suppressed it, before he could reach that point.
In short, he had no sleep all night. The next day, he found an excuse to sneak out and ran to the Beijing Film Studio in a hurry, but he couldn't find the man. Finally, he stopped Gong Xue and asked hurriedly: "Sister Xue, where is Brother Qi?"
"He went to Hangzhou!"
"What are you going to Hangzhou for?"
"I am writing in retreat. I am participating in Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers by the way. I hope I can come back at the end of the month... Oh, he said that your matter is more complicated and he asked you to wait for news."
Gong Xue walked away in a leisurely manner.
Li Lianjie looked confused and depressed, waiting for news, I almost want to kill myself, you still make me wait for news?!!
But there was nothing he could do. Chen Qi had already established prestige in his heart and asked him to wait, so he had no choice but to wait.
(No more today...
There will be four updates tomorrow.)
