After having lunch with Wenxiu at a restaurant near the company, Wenxiu was busy with work and left first. Feng Yifeng got into the car that Ruan Long came to pick him up and drove to his destination.
"Have you checked whether they really did it?" In the car, Feng Yifeng confirmed with Ruan Long again that their destination was correct.
Ruan Long stared at the front of the car without looking back. Hearing Feng Yifeng's question, he nodded and said: "We have checked clearly. Andre and those who were involved in the crime have already gone over to confirm. There should be nothing wrong."
The culture of martial arts training in Hong Kong is even better than that in mainland China. Since the 1930s and 1940s, Hong Kong has opened various martial arts schools, large and small, with various sects, southern boxing and northern kicking. Some people fled to Hong Kong due to the war to recruit disciples.
Those who teach martial arts, some want to promote Chinese martial arts, and some want to support their families. All types of martial arts masters have gathered in the small land of Hong Kong. After the domestic civil war, more and more down-and-out martial arts masters, in order to make a living, have
In order to prevent what they learned from being buried, they opened various guild halls or martial arts schools in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is so big and has such a large population. It has just experienced the war and is a time when all industries are waiting for prosperity. The survival of martial arts schools has been severely tested. In order not to leave everyone without food due to fierce competition, martial arts schools
Industry rules have also begun to be formulated (in the movie Ip Man 2, Sammo Hung required Donnie Yen to pay membership fees before he could officially open a martial arts studio in Hong Kong and accept disciples. This is true. In fact, it is to unite the entire Hong Kong martial arts community to resist outsiders.
.As for whether he wants to compete in a ring in front of all the martial arts masters in Hong Kong, there is really no way to verify it).
But at that time, most of the people who came to Hong Kong were penniless refugees. The locals in Hong Kong were busy making money to support their families, so how could they have so much time to learn martial arts? Rich people didn’t bother to be martial arts, so the martial arts schools
The business is not very good, and many of them are barely able to survive. Many unsustainable martial arts schools, in addition to closing down, have no choice but to expand their horizons and start part-time side jobs.
In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the period when Shaw Brothers Pictures led the vigorous development and rise of Hong Kong movies, especially martial arts films. But how many actors had practiced martial arts? Where to find suitable stunt doubles and actors who know martial arts? In a martial arts gym
Martial arts masters and students are the best source of actors for this type of movies.
In addition to these martial arts schools, there are also many famous actors from Peking Opera, Cantonese Opera and Anhui Opera who came from the mainland. They also value Hong Kong, a place where Chinese and Western cultures gather, and have started teaching classes here. They also have many connections with the martial arts schools.
Similar rules. Students apprentice, learn skills, and sign a life-and-death contract, which conforms to the rules of the old-style opera house. Once parents send their children to a drama school, they must completely submit to the teachings and care of the master during the contract period. After the contract expires, they can
Only by changing the stage name changed by the master back can one go out to work in all walks of life. "Yu Zhanyuan is one of the best. The apprentice he taught, Yuan Long (Sammo Hung's stage name), Jackie Chan only took this name after he was appointed as a teacher. There are also
Later, the name Jackie Chan appeared), Yuan Lou (Jackie Chan), Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui, Yuan Hua, Yuan De, and Yuan Wu. From the 1960s to the 1970s, they entered the film industry one after another as dragons.
Tiger Warrior, a stand-in and even a starring role, has had a profound impact on Hong Kong and even the world's film industry. This is the prototype of the famous "Seven Little Fortunes" in the minds of movie fans.
The car came to a stop under an old tenement building in Causeway Bay. I looked up and saw that the tenement building was only five stories high. The old exterior walls had peeled off in many places, not only exposing the bricks inside, but also because of the long
Time has not been maintained, and the exterior walls are covered with green moss. But the most eye-catching thing is that on the exterior wall of the fifth floor, there is a huge plaque that takes up the entire exterior wall, with the four Chinese characters "Xiong Fei Feng" written on it.
"Shengwukan".
"It seems that this martial arts gym is doing well. It was able to buy the entire fifth floor, and even put up such a large plaque on the outer wall, as if it was afraid that no one would be able to see it." Feng Yifeng looked from the first to the fourth floor.
All you see are rusty iron guardrails, some of which may no longer be inhabited, and the window glass is broken and no one cares about it. But there is only the fifth floor where the martial arts hall is located. From the outside, there are no places covered by plaques.
After painting and renovation, the windows and walls are bright, and it looks in sharp contrast to the floors below.
Ruan Long stood next to Feng Yifeng. Hearing his words, he explained to him: "This martial arts gym has been established for more than forty years. It can be said to be a local snake. During the Japanese occupation, there were many kung fu masters who participated in the guerrillas.
Teams and martial arts schools were also forced to close. After Hong Kong regained its independence, life became difficult, and life in martial arts schools was not easy. Many martial arts masters who did not get along well joined several major societies in Hong Kong at that time, and even trained thugs for the societies.
In this way, the martial arts hall can continue to survive. However, later, the "Four Detectives" and the "Four Families" were severely investigated by the Hong Kong government, and the remaining clubs underwent a major reshuffle. Many martial arts masters in the clubs
All of them were imprisoned. The martial arts gym lacked financial resources, so it looked for other development. They have cooperated with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Dianmao, Li's and TVB. They have appeared in many action movies and martial arts films as stand-ins and supporting roles.
.Because many people from the martial arts school have been around in the Taoist community and have a good reputation. With them here, ordinary clubs will not dare to come to the crew to cause trouble, so many crews and film companies are willing to cooperate with them."
"Oh!" Feng Yifeng suddenly understood and nodded: "No wonder, if you can mix both black and white, money will naturally come rolling in."
Walking into the corridor, it is the best time for sunshine in the afternoon, but due to the sunlight and location, not much sunlight can shine in, making the entire corridor dark and damp, with a faint musty smell. On each floor, only
There is a light bulb that is not too bright at the corner, so that people going up and down the stairs can see the stairs clearly. Otherwise, in such a dark and humid place, it is easy to fall and get injured.
"Xiong Sheng Martial Arts Hall" is on the fifth floor. There is only one martial arts hall on the whole floor. Unlike the ordinary iron doors of the houses that we saw when we went upstairs just now, the doors of the martial arts hall are welded with fine iron steel bars.
The two doors on the left and right are more than three meters close to four meters together. The iron bars used on it are thicker than those used in prisons. The back of the door is sealed and welded with a thick iron plate. Feng Yifeng has no doubt at all.
, this door is no worse than a bank's vault in terms of sturdiness.
However, now this strong and tall iron door, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, opened to Feng Yifeng and Ruan Long without reservation.
Follow Ruan Long and walk in. You can see a standard-sized ring in the middle of the martial arts hall. There are eighteen kinds of weapons around the ring, and several wooden dummies nearly two meters high are placed near the wall.
On the other side, as far as Feng Yifeng knew, there were four types: vertical, hanging, rotating and spring. In addition, there were various sandbags of different sizes and colors that were hung on the roof.
Now there are no loud shouts from noisy sparring sessions, no "pop" sounds from fists hitting sandbags, and no "pop" sounds from practicing wooden dummies. Everything is so quiet and peaceful, just like in a martial arts school.
An incongruous peace.
A dozen young men and big men of different ages, all wearing vests with the words "Xiong Sheng Wu Guan" printed on them, were being pointed at by more than twenty bodyguards wearing black suits and holding firearms. They were sitting in a circle.
The floor of the martial arts studio is paved with soft cushions. But judging from the scars of various sizes on the faces of these martial arts gym personnel, they must have been well received.
From among the people sitting on the ground, Feng Yifeng recognized at a glance the leading burly man who was surrounding him in the parking lot. However, his current condition was not very good. Both eyes were covered by bruised eyelids.
Oh, you can't see his eyeballs at all. There are blood marks on his nose and corners of his mouth, which must be fresh injuries. One left hand is bent behind his back in a weird shape. Judging from his distorted face, he must have suffered
It was a great pain. The clothes he was wearing could no longer be considered clothes. They were torn into pieces one by one, and they were just hanging down on his body.
Except for this big man who could barely be recognized by Feng Yifeng, the other ones who were seriously injured were all those who had a role in besieging Feng Yifeng and Guan Zhilin that night. Many of them were exposed, and there was basically no flesh on them, and they were bruised and purple.
By looking at their skin, you can see the kind of abuse they received.
Although these people were beaten, they were still conscious. From the moment Feng Yifeng walked in, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and they finally understood why these bodyguards pointed guns at them without saying a word after they came in.
Except for a few who resisted, they selectively pulled out a few of them and beat them up. Their senior brother received the best hospitality, especially the foreign man who came in last.
Treating it as a punching bag, I kept hitting my senior brother to test the weight of my punches.
These people were all involved in besieging and threatening Feng Yifeng in the parking lot. They received a request from the boss, and the information they received only said that Feng Yifeng was a small-time reporter for Wireless. They had a conflict with the boss on the set, and they greedily stole
They got the boss's most valuable thing. The boss gave them 10,000 yuan. As long as they can get the lost property back, they can not only get another 10,000 yuan as a reward, but also help them arrange a position as a dragon and tiger martial artist in Wireless.
For these martial arts masters who live at the bottom of society, 20,000 yuan is a good income. But what attracts them most is that they can join the wireless industry as a dragon and tiger martial artist. This is a stable and practical job.
This profession is most suitable for people like them who have little education and only have great strength and a little bit of kung fu.
Now it seems that they have hit a brick wall. Why didn't they expect that a person who can enter and leave the Peninsula Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, would be a small business? Dozens of bodyguards, each with a gun, including
As a young man and a foreigner, will this be something that the director can afford?
The leading big man, the senior brother of this "Xiong Sheng Martial Arts School", although he was badly repaired by Andre, his eyes with only a slit left could still clearly see that the person standing in front of him was the wireless martial artist.
Field Notes Feng Yifeng.
He endured the pain of his broken arm and stood up staggeringly. Ruan Long and Andre who were standing next to Feng Yifeng gathered around him nervously. The guns in the hands of the other bodyguards were naturally pointed at the most powerful senior brother.
Seeing that he had no ill intentions, even if he was allowed to be fierce, he couldn't be fierce now. Feng Yifeng didn't say anything, waved Ruan Long and Andre to retreat, and stared at the big man whose face was deformed because of the pain he endured.
Stand up and face yourself so stubbornly.
The big man looked at Feng Yifeng for a while, then suddenly his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground. His senior brothers were all very nervous. Some of them wanted to stand up and help their senior brother, but under the threat of a pistol, no one could
Dare to act rashly.
Feng Yifeng thought he was seriously injured and couldn't stand still, so he wanted to go over and help him, but the big man then said in a pleading tone: "I'm sorry! This young master, all the mistakes he made are all my fault.
Money blindfolds your eyes and offends you, young master. If you want revenge, you can take revenge on me. It has nothing to do with my fellow juniors, so please let them go!"
No one expected that this big man would kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and he would also beg for mercy for his junior brother, without caring about his own safety. The man had gold under his knees, and martial arts practitioners like them would not know how to do it.
It was easy to give in. But now, the most famous senior brother in the martial arts school actually knelt down in front of Feng Yifeng and begged for mercy in front of everyone. Feng Yifeng and others were stunned and the junior brothers of the Han Dynasty couldn't help it. Except for a few
Except for one who cried loudly, the others wanted to stand up and fight for Feng Yifeng...
