Chapter 430 Accept the Challenge
"Kikujiro's Summer and Departures, these two movies are my favorite Japanese movies, no one can tell which is better!"

“In the near future, there will be a special opportunity for Donkey Bao to participate in one of them!”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Shen Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

If I really get to be the male lead of Suzuki, I'll be happy, but after the filming, my friends all over China will be able to see my naked butt on pirated copies, which is really sad!

Don’t go out anymore in the future, and anyone who sees you will smile knowingly!
“Eh…………” It makes me shudder just thinking about it.

"Kikujiro's Summer" and "Departures" are two movies that I really like.

I have seen it more than once.

Japanese films are really good at making this kind of plain and sincere drama.

To be honest, being able to tell a plain story and make it resonate with the audience's soul is currently a shortcoming of the Chinese film industry.

To be honest, Shen Lang was very happy to be able to film one of these two dramas.

But then, unhappy things happened.

The success of "Fang Shiyu" should have been Shen Lang's success as well.

After all, as one of the leading actors in this play and the creator of the fighting scenes, Shen Lang is the most important person in the birth of this movie.

But because of the influence of Shen Lang’s previous interview with "Black Belt".

Many people are not satisfied with Shen Lang's performance in this drama.

"What kind of design is this? Shen Lang's so-called martial arts guidance is just a child's play. He even held a sports meet and died during a race."

"Of course, for a movie, this is a good idea; but for a [Martial Arts Master], these action designs do not show Shen Lang's martial arts skills at all!"

"Shen Lang may be the best martial arts instructor in China, but he is definitely not the Grandmaster of traditional Chinese martial arts!"

"Shen Lang played the villain Jiumen Admiral in the movie very vividly, but his Tongbeiquan skills were average, too reckless, and unable to control his movements. He is still a long way from being a so-called "Grandmaster"!"

……

Such remarks were once very popular, which led to a strange scene after the end of the movie.

In the play "Fong Sai-yuk", Li Lianjie, Xiao Fangfang, and even the two supporting actors who played Fong Sai-yuk's friends and the thugs who appeared at the sports meeting were all praised for their superb acting skills and wonderful fighting scenes.

But only Shen Lang, the person who designed the fighting scenes for them, faced countless doubts.

They say the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and this is indeed true.

Shen Lang originally thought that the interview with "Black Belt" was to fool foreigners, but he didn't expect a boomerang to hit him in the face.

But I don't care!

If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person.

……

Two months later, "The Grandmaster" was released.

This is another movie in which Shen Lang serves as the martial arts director. This movie, which depicts the real martial arts world of the Republic of China, has made it impossible to stop the topic of Shen Lang in public opinion.

【Master of Martial Arts】Directed the filming of "The Grandmaster".

It was so much fun.

"An actor wants to restore the real martial arts world, haha!"

"I'm not an actor, I'm a [Grandmaster]! Haha"

"To be honest, watching the trailer, the movie features Bajiquan, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, Dahongquan, and Wing Chun. When Wang Jiawei interviewed us, he asked us why he didn't let us be the martial arts instructors? He let an outsider be the instructor instead? Can such a movie feel real?"

...The nerves of the martial arts circle have been aroused again.

In particular, there is a Baguazhang inheritor named Xu Kui who gives a group of "classes" on this matter every day on his own media, talking about the difficulty of practicing Baguazhang, and saying that it is impossible to achieve any success without decades of painstaking research.

Of course, people would not mention Shen Lang by name during the live broadcast, but the implication of their words was still questioning.

This Xu Kui is indeed something of a character. It is said that he is a disciple of Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang.

His questioning is very different from previous ones.

Many of the people who had questioned him in the past were not very famous in the martial arts world, but this person is the successor of the most famous master in modern martial arts.

That's the kind that really has a pedigree to be checked.

Under increasing pressure, "The Grandmaster" is about to be broadcast.

But before the storm surrounding Xu Kui's incident had subsided, another piece of news that followed made everyone feel that if Shen Lang did not respond to this matter, he would not have to respond in the future.

It turned out that after this article in Black Belt was published in the United States, it immediately attracted the attention of many famous American fighting masters.

It is especially surprising to discover that this guy who claims to be the strongest in traditional Chinese martial arts is actually the Oscar-winning screenwriter and the most famous movie star in East Asia.

Foreigners are not stupid either. What does Shen Lang’s identity represent?
It means that if you fight him, you will make a lot of money immediately!

At one time, countless people called Black Belt, wanting to use the Black Belt platform to invite Shen Lang to fight with them.

Finally, "Black Belt" chose Holleg, a world champion in unarmed and no-rules fighting, from among many challengers, and hyped it up wildly in its own media, hoping to make this match happen.

"Brother Lang, considering Holleg's physique, we should just follow the old rules and not respond!" Xiao Zhuli looked at the other party's photo on his mobile phone and shook his head.

Wang Yanni rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Lang has a lot of nicknames on the Internet now! If you don't respond, I'm afraid Shen Lang won't be able to go out in the future!"

Shen Lang was stunned. He was currently attending the premiere of "The Grandmaster" and was busy traveling around the country, so he really hadn't paid attention to this matter.

"What nickname?"

"Turtle number one! Ninja Turtle! Master of hype, master of little turtles..."

"..."

Shen Lang took Xiao Zhuli's phone, and on the phone screen was a bald, muscular man who was over two meters tall.

Although Shen Lang is over 1.8 meters tall, he is probably just a small toothpick in front of this person... in terms of physique, there is no particular point.

Wang Yanni also took out her phone and handed it to Shen Lang, saying, "Brother Lang, you see, these people in our country are really interesting. They have been saying that you are not good in this and that, but they dare not say that they want to fight with you!"

"Now that Huo Liege has appeared, the previous Baguazhang successor Xu Kui has jumped out again!"

Shen Lang took the phone, and on the screen Xu Kui was being interviewed by a media!
"I'm not trying to boost others' prestige and destroy my own people's morale. I know Huo Lige well. He's a famous boxing master. Shen Lang's skills are not even comparable to his!"

"Then is there anyone in China's traditional martial arts who can defeat this kind of modern fighting master?"

"No, not even Muay Thai!"

"Even Baguazhang doesn't work?"

"Unfortunately, no!" Xu Kui's face showed no regret at all. Instead, he said to the camera with an old-fashioned look: "Traditional martial arts can help you stay healthy, but I will insist on exposing those who want to use the name of traditional martial arts to gain money and fame, so that you will never get what you want."

Seeing this, Shen Lang cursed: "Fuck, so arrogant! Help me call that Ma Mingyuan and tell him that I'm accepting this fight!"

Xiao Zhuli's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Fuck, I'll go prepare the "Sick Man of East Asia" sign right away!"

Shen Lang was confused: "What do you want to do?"

"The sign of the sick man of East Asia has been kicked away by you, Brother Lang. Hurry up and use your nunchakus, hehehe!"

My head hurts. Recently, the sappy songs of the king of Wandao, Dong, are everywhere in the streets and alleys!
