Chapter 92 This Isn't a Movie! (Second Update!)

  P.S: Still begging for Sanjiang, the gap is not big, add some effort, Old Buddha will continue to code and go, today must be updated four times!

  No matter what Shi said, He Mu insisted on playing "Drunk Fisherman's Song" to the end. If he changed to another piece, he would definitely be embarrassed to say that he could play the guqin.

  Due to He Mu's persistence and uncompromising attitude, "Drunken Fisherman's Song" accompanied the entire crew for over 20 days of filming, almost every day they could hear it, they were immersed in art, to the point where they never dared to touch classical instruments again.

  On this day, Tang Ren's president Cai Yiren came to visit the class. When she saw Shi Shi's elegant and refined fox spirit costume, she felt that this girl was even more beautiful and charming than when she first met her. She now regrets it a bit. At the time, Li Guoli had suggested signing this girl while filming "The Young Yang Family Generals", but at the time she thought the girl's acting skills were average, her looks were average, and her development prospects wouldn't be very good, so she thought about waiting another year or two to see, didn't expect it would fall into the hands of a tiger-wolf, and yet she has become more and more like a star.

  Cai Yinan and Shi Shi sat together and said a few words, in addition to encouraging her to film well, also mentioned that "The Legend of the Condor Hero" will probably resume filming around March, asking her to leave some time for this drama.

  When he saw He Mu holding an ancient zither, Cai Yizhong smiled and said to He Mu: "It should be very difficult for a master of martial arts to play the role of a scholar."

  "What did Cai say? I didn't quite catch it." He Mu smiled.

  "You may not have seen today's 'Star Power Weekly' yet," Cai Yiren took a magazine from his assistant, "This magazine has the three male leads of 'The Investiture of the Gods' as its cover characters, and you're on the inner cover, want to take a look?"

  He Mu had just taken it over when Shi Shi snatched it away, and then she read out the title on the cover in a loud and clear voice: "A high-handed kung fu master lurking in the entertainment circle! Old He, is this referring to you?"

  He Mu smiled wryly, actually when Cai Yiniang took out this magazine, he already knew what she wanted to say. In the past when his fame wasn't big, Guo Siyuan had been chasing after him relentlessly, now that he has some small fame, this guy managed to take such an explosive video, how could he not make a fuss about it? If he didn't take advantage of it, then he wouldn't be Guo Siyuan. He Mu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with Guo Siyuan.

  Cai Yizhong gave this magazine to He Mu, He Mu didn't have time to look at it now, after finishing the filming, he started flipping through it while leaning on the sofa in his own room.

  That cover is a still photo of He Mu in "Soldier Assault", wearing military uniform, with bright and spirited eyes, giving off an air of a master.

  He Mu found the main article section in the middle of the magazine, and Guo Siyuan really gave him a few pages of space.

  The title of the post is "This isn't a movie!" with an attached image, which is actually a screenshot from a video of He Mu and Black Panther fighting.

  When Guo Siyuan first saw this video, he was still shocked because the video didn't clearly show how He Mu knocked down three big men in just a few seconds. It seemed like he had magic on his body and used a special move to defeat all his opponents. Later, when Guo Siyuan and the photographer slowed down the video several times, they were finally able to see the details of He Mu's movements: how he blocked the wooden stick, how he moved his feet, and how he hit his opponent. In the blink of an eye, he had actually made many moves, but it was too fast, too fierce, creating the illusion that He Mu defeated his opponents with just one move. Is this what Master Star meant by "the ultimate martial arts skill, unbeatable and unstoppable"?

  Through slow-motion screenshots, Guo Siyuan found the key action of He Muke's enemy control and victory, and then annotated the explanation on the picture, how long it took to complete this action, what damage was caused to the enemy, how long did that action take, and which key part of the opponent was hit.

  In order to clearly analyze He Mu's movements, Guo Siyuan specially asked a friend who studied traditional Chinese medicine for help. His friend helped him complete the annotation of the photos, and finally, his friend said that He Mu's moves were extremely ruthless and had a bit of a "playing with one's life" feel to them. If the direction or force of the blow was slightly off, it could very likely result in serious injury or even danger to one's life. His words were a bit severe, but causing major harm to his opponent was still possible.

  Of course, Guo Siyuan would not mention these words in his article. Now their magazine and Hu Liang Ying Shi are cooperating, the editor-in-chief means to guide positively, so this time his task is to praise He Mu, this young Kung Fu hero, to the death. He fights for justice, and fighting so beautifully is even more worthy of praise.

  Apart from showing He Mu's profound martial arts skills through screenshots, Guo Siyuan also briefly mentioned that He Mu's grandfather was a master of the martial arts world and a famous boxing expert. At the age of 89, he is still vigorous and can eat three bowls of rice in one meal. He Mu has been practicing martial arts with this grandfather since childhood, which adds another layer of mystery to him.

  The Chinese people have always had a good impression of Kung Fu stars, whether it's the older Jackie Chan and Jet Li or the younger Zhao Wen Zhuo and Wu Jing, who all have a good foundation with the masses. However, in recent years, there hasn't been a Kung Fu star in mainland China who has both looks and ability. The sunny and handsome pretty boys are too many, so audiences yearn to see a dazzling Kung Fu kid. Therefore, when He Mu was discovered to possess exceptional skills, he attracted widespread attention from the public.

  Of course, the Tiger Wolf company was indispensable in promoting this, and relying solely on the "Star Power Weekly" magazine would not have had such a great impact. The Tiger Wolf asked "Star Power Weekly" to be the fuse, giving them the privilege of interviewing He Mu several times, and then contacted other media outlets, either hyping or questioning, in short, spreading the news that "He Mu is a kung fu master", causing heated discussions among the public, and then arranging for media spokespeople to make some ambiguous explanations.

  As the discussion heated up, some people began to suspect that Guo Siyuan's video was fake, saying that it wasn't a real shoot but rather He Mu had found a few people to act out a scene. They strongly demanded that "Star Power Weekly" release the original video so everyone could distinguish between true and false, and not be fooled by just a few screenshots. So, Zhong Dajun took advantage of the situation and held an impromptu tea gathering with colleagues, publicly releasing the full content of the video, which was uploaded to the internet that same day and can be viewed on several major video websites.

  "Living with a Superstar" is still being serialized, and He Mu's online popularity is growing. It can be imagined that He Mu's video of punching a hooligan will definitely receive great attention.

  After some confirmation from the brick house, the video was indeed not processed by humans, and the content and information conveyed were honest and credible. Although the words of the brick house are not to be trusted lightly, this time people believed it, and all kinds of discussions began to emerge online, which could not be stopped even if one wanted to. Some people even created an online questionnaire "Who is more capable in the entertainment circle?", with candidates including Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li, and others such as Zeng Zidan, Zhao Wenzhuo, Wu Jing, and He Mu. Although He Mu was ranked last, it seems that people have already accepted his status as a young martial arts actor, but his works are still too few, and his influence cannot be compared to the first few.

  Although it was a sneak shot, the video had good clarity and the camera didn't shake. He Mu's every move was caught on tape. Those intimidating eyes, agile movements, and massive killing power all contributed to He Mu absorbing a large number of die-hard fans. People are expecting the birth of a new king of kung fu.

  There are comments saying: In terms of appearance, He Mu is not inferior to Jet Li, and he is even taller and younger. We have reason to believe that when Jet Li gradually withdraws from the kung fu film market, He Mu will replace him.

  Some people have expressed the opposite view: The kung fu film market has shrunk, and it is no longer possible to create a kung fu superstar like Jet Li, so this path is extremely risky.

  There are also comments questioning: Is this really Bajiquan? Why does it feel even more intense than what I've seen.

  ——————

  "Master Wang, is he using Bajiquan?" Wang Jiawei pointed to the video on the computer and asked a spirited man in his fifties.

  "Play it again, he's too fast, I didn't even see the details." Master Wang Shiquan said.

  Wang Jiawei pressed replay.

  This Wang Jia Wei is the famous Hong Kong director, "Wong Kar Wai", who is currently planning a film about Yip Man, the grandmaster of Wing Chun and master of Bruce Lee. In this film, he not only wants to showcase Yip Man's Wing Chun skills but also the entire martial arts world of the Republic of China era. Since filming "Ashes of Time" in the US, he has been traveling around the country visiting various martial arts schools and paying respects to the senior masters of each style.

  Now he has arrived in the capital, Wang Shiquan is a representative figure of Bajiquan. In recent days, he has been following Master Wang and talking about the stories of the past martial arts world and the anecdotes of the predecessors of Bajiquan, all of which may become material for his film.

  It just so happened that He Mu was very popular at this time, and although Wang Jia Wei didn't care about gossip magazines and the like, he still heard from people around him about a young actor who claimed to have been learning Bajiquan since childhood. So he found the video online, and the impact it had on him left a deep impression, but it was also somewhat different from what Wang Shi Quan had demonstrated for him. Therefore, he asked Master Wang to study it with him to determine whether or not this was indeed a Bajiquan move.

  "I remembered that this is indeed Bajiquan, but it's different from the authentic Bajiquan," Wang Shiquan said after watching the video. "I recall when I was young, my master and I visited a senior named He who was also from the Bajiquan school. However, his boxing techniques had been modified to be more suitable for defeating and killing enemies. Bajiquan is known for its ferocity, but that senior's Bajiquan was even more ferocious than that. He simplified the Bajiquan techniques, only keeping the most aggressive parts, and increased the lethality of the moves on top of that. My master once praised his boxing as 'filled with killing intent'. I once sparred with one of that senior's disciples, and to my embarrassment, I lost in just three moves."

  "This is incredible!" Wang Jiawei exclaimed.

  Wang Shiquan shook his head: "However, Master once said that overexertion can lead to injury. Although Senior's fist method is superb, it damages the body and probably won't live past seventy years old. If Senior were still alive, he should be ninety now."

  Wang Jiawei pulled out a copy of "Star Power Weekly" and corrected him, "He's 89 years old, still alive, and can still walk briskly, eating three bowls of rice in one meal."
