669 Mysterious East
One Andrew can choose to leave.
Because his time is limited. After the filming of "The Amazing Spider-Man" started, every day's shooting schedule was very tight. The martial arts learning courses were completely completed in Andrew's private spare time. He needed a more direct and effective learning method. Anyway, Andrew doesn't really need to be a martial arts master; it's just to be able to better complete the fighting scenes during the filming process. That's all. The showmanship is enough. For the really difficult parts, professional stuntmen can do all the work..
However, after discussion, Armando left and Andrew stayed..
Andrew came to Renly's side. Before, there was another person squatting with Renly. Even when Renly and Andrew were sparring, he was squatting on the rag. But now that Andrew is here, that person is He stood up and left silently, so only Andrew and Renly were left in the classroom again..
Andrew carefully looked at Renly's stance, and then squatted down as well..
However, Zama Step was much more difficult than expected. After only holding on for less than thirty seconds, Andrew felt that his knees began to tremble and he almost lost his balance. The reason was that it was actually harder to draw the skin of a tiger than to draw its bones. Andrew's position and method of exerting force are completely wrong, and it will be difficult to continue..
Seeing this scene, Renly imparted some basic experience aloud. Seeing that Andrew still couldn't grasp the key points, Renly simply stood up again and gave personal guidance, adjusting his squatting posture and indicating where to exert force. Andrew has finally entered the rhythm, but the problem is that after the posture of Zamabu is correct, the whole body needs to exert force. In just a short while, the muscles begin to feel burning..
Andrew was completely unaware that this seemingly simple movement actually mobilized every muscle in the body. It reminded him of plank support, which exercises the strength of the core muscle groups..
Half an hour, it sounds very simple, but after actually executing it, Andrew realized how difficult a task it was. After persisting for six or seven minutes, gritting his teeth had no effect, and he fell straight down. On the ground, my back was soaked with sweat, my calves and knees were shaking, and I couldn't stand up at all..
Looking at Renly next to him, he must have persisted for more than thirty minutes, but he was still able to do it with ease. If it weren't for the sweat on his forehead, Andrew would have believed Renly even if he was sitting upright on the chair. Then, Renly He slowly stood up straight, began to relax the muscles in his legs, and adjusted his breathing. He looked content and content..
“Have you really only been here for two weeks? "Andrew hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked. After receiving a nod in the affirmative, Andrew asked again, "What did you learn in these two weeks?？”
“Renly said truthfully, "In the past ten days, I only practiced Zama Step every day. Starting from the eleventh day, I learned to drive wooden stakes.".”
“that's all? "Andrew's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it..
“That's it." Renly affirmed with a smile. Looking at Andrew's frightened expression, a low laughter could not help but come from his chest, "Why did you choose to stay?？”
In Renly's view, Andrew had no reason to stay - the so-called "Liu's Martial Arts School", not to mention the master, did not even see a serious apprentice, just a young man who was cleaning, and then a half-baked Amateur. This was not just irregular, it looked like child's play. But Andrew stayed..
Andrew smiled, rubbed his hair vigorously, and then leaned back, supporting his body with both hands and straightening his legs, looking exhausted and paralyzed, "I don't know. I just I feel like maybe I can really learn something here. Not for the movie, just for myself..”
He entered Hollywood's attention because of "The Social Network" and entered the public eye because of "The Amazing Spider-Man". Many people have always considered Andrew to be an idol. But in fact, among the main cast of "The Social Network", Andrew He is the only one from an orthodox academic school. He graduated from the Drama Center School affiliated to the University of London, and then spent nearly two years in London's West End. After officially becoming an actor, he also became famous for his "Boy A" and "Don't Let Me Go". "And other artistic works that test acting skills.
In Andrew's heart, he has always had a heart to polish his acting skills. Although he is not a gifted and talented actor, he has always been on the road of polishing and making breakthroughs on his own..
Few people know that after receiving his first career Oscar nomination for "Hacksaw Ridge", Andrew returned to London's West End and came to the theater stage again to star in the classic drama "Angels in America", which cost nearly a year. Years of practice and polishing of one’s performance.
This was the first conversation between Renly and Andrew, but Renly was not surprised at all by Andrew's choice..
“This is why the martial arts school requires us to stand on the horse." Renly's sudden turn made Andrew look puzzled. He then explained, "Calm down and start with the basic skills and slowly polish them. For martial arts , the stability of the lower body is crucial, because most of the force is transmitted from the lower limbs. If the lower body is unstable, then all the skills will be just a show. Unfortunately, few people are willing to calm down and Everyone hopes to become a master of martial arts in thirty days and a grandmaster in three months..”
Renly was still the same Chu Jiashu deep in his soul. He was very familiar with Chinatown. He came to the "Liu's Martial Arts School" through introductions. He faced the same choice on the first day. He didn't hesitate at all and started neatly. Zama Bu started. Because he knew the importance of basic skills..
In the past two weeks, although "Liu's Martial Arts School" was not crowded, more than 20 people came intermittently to inquire about related matters. Some people turned around and left directly, while some people stayed to try it out and then left. Yes, some people tried Zamabu, but within a few minutes, they fled again..
Apart from Renly, only one person remained - the middle-aged man who disappeared without a trace just now. He was an avid lover of Chinese culture. After wasting most of his life, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and came here. Study hard and practice hard. He is an ordinary office worker. He takes time to come here every day, just like the gym, but he has never been absent in the past ten days..
Andrew is the second.
“But haven’t you only been here for two weeks? Isn't your performance just now a master? "Andrew was stunned. This is already the fastest martial arts master he has ever seen..
Renly laughed dumbly and shook his head, "No, I'm not. It's just some basic borrowing power; there are also the postures and routines formed by driving wooden piles. These are the foundations of the foundations. It can't be done at all. It’s considered moves, let alone martial arts..”
Basic skills are something that has been done day by day for ten years. In just two weeks, the effect has not come out at all, it is tangible but not spiritual. The reason why it works is that on the one hand, Renly learned the basic routines in his previous life; on the other hand, it is Andrew's routines. I don’t even know. It’s just a random fight..
“I know, it just means that I'm too good at it." Andrew shrugged and admitted frankly. The graceful gesture made Renly laugh heartily. Thinking about it carefully, Andrew couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, Eastern culture is really full of mystery and elusive.”
This...how do you think of this? Renly burst into laughter.
As he spoke, Andrew stood up again, walked to the side again, and once again threw himself into the action of Zamabu. "I didn't time it just now. How long do I have to squat?" Andrew spoke while Zamabu. , Dantian couldn't hold his breath, and his knees were weak, so he fell down and sat down. The embarrassed look made Renly laugh happily..
Andrew put his hands on his knees, speechless, "Still, the longer the better.？”
“No, just like fitness, regularity, appropriateness, and step-by-step are the most important. This is just one of the basic skills." Renly did not help this time. He watched from the side as Andrew stood up again, readjusted his breathing, and started to prick again. horse step.
Renly rested for a while, and then prepared to drive stakes in the patio downstairs. A voice came from the corridor outside the classroom, "Third Senior Brother, have you thought about it? That British man persisted again today. , it’s been half a month, what kind of boxing are you going to teach him?？”
“So why are you so anxious? If you continue to let him drive wooden stakes, he will definitely not be able to hold on for long. He will look like a vase. Three weeks, three weeks is the limit..”
The yelling voice didn't have much cover at all, and it came out loudly. However, Andrew looked at Renly with a confused look, not knowing why, because their conversation was entirely in Chinese, not Cantonese, but in Cantonese. Authentic Mandarin.
In New York's Chinatown, there were many Cantonese and Hong Kong people in the early years, so Cantonese was unimpeded here. So much so that for a long time, Americans thought "Cantonese" was "Chinese". Hollywood movies and TV series I have always maintained this wrong understanding.
It is really not easy to meet two people who speak Mandarin here. At the same time, there are very few people who can understand, so they naturally have no scruples. They never expected that there is an alien here, an alien who can be caught for scientific slice experiments..
“Honestly, senior brother, are you jealous?？”
“What are you jealous of? What nonsense are you talking about?！”
“I'm jealous that my parents are handsome. Linda from next door has come over to inquire several times..”
“fart! What kind of handsomeness is that? You are not even worthy of carrying my shoes. Such an idol is just a skin. Like me, what comes from the inside is the real handsomeness and temperament. Do you understand? temperament！”
“So, aren't you worried that after he really learns boxing, little girls will surround him and scream? One set of Wing Chun is more chic than you, and one set of Tongbei is tougher than you.？”
“……roll！”
The words stopped here, and then two people appeared in the classroom one after another, with smiles and extraordinary temperament..
