Chapter 2: Change of career
"Hey, Master, let's stop here."

A taxi passed by the entrance of Beijing Film Academy. Yang Xue, who was sitting in the car, saw He Zhongqiu and quickly asked the driver to stop. She got out and shouted, "Three pounds, three pounds?"

He Zhongqiu took a look and hurried over, saying happily, "Sister Xue, you're back? Have you finished filming?"

"I just finished the filming and came back. Let's go, it's time for dinner, let's go eat." Yang Xue said with a smile, blinking her beautiful big eyes.

"okay."

The two came to a small restaurant next to the Beijing Film Academy. It was warm inside. He Zhongqiu took off his military coat and hat as soon as he entered, revealing a shiny big bald head.

Yang Xue ordered seven dishes, four meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and one soup. Knowing that He Zhongqiu had a big appetite, she also specially asked for a basket of big meat buns.

At the beginning of 00, he met Yang Xue just a few days after he entered the gate of Beijing Film Academy. At that time, a few young gangsters harassed Yang Xue and he chased them away. The two got to know each other and had a very good relationship. Later, they rented a house together.

"Sister Xue, I plan to change my career." he said suddenly.

Yang Xue was stunned and looked at He Zhongqiu. With this height, he really couldn't be an actor. He was too tall and it would be difficult to act in a supporting role. He was only good at playing basketball.

She suddenly thought of something and said, "Sanjin, didn't you sign up for the NBA draft last time? I wrote an application for you, but you didn't get selected?"

He Zhongqiu said awkwardly: "Sister, aren't you looking down on me? I am only an amateur in basketball. It was you who instigated me that time. I was just joking. Even if people were blind, they would not look down on me!"

"Pfft!"

Yang Xue laughed so hard that her body shook. After she finished laughing, she said seriously, "Sanjin, I think you can try basketball. You can run, jump, and fly. Maybe it's really suitable for you."

"Basketball? NBA?"

He Zhongqiu was actually a little moved.

He learned Iron Cloth and Eagle Claw Kung Fu from his father since he was a child. These two Kung Fu were too difficult to practice, so after he came into contact with basketball in elementary school, he fell in love with this fun and not-too-painful sport.

But although I like it, I have neither the time nor the opportunity, so I have never practiced it seriously.

As the thought came to my mind, a virtual screen unfolded before my eyes.

He now has some basic basketball skills, which have been gradually improved after he received the sports fitness system.

In the past two years, besides practicing martial arts and filming, he also played basketball, but there was no training. He just played wild ball outside. After playing for an hour, he could gain dozens or even hundreds of proficiency rewards in various techniques.

After taking a look, he closed the system panel and said, "Sister Xue, I do like playing basketball, but my skills are not good enough now. I don't practice much and play even less.

However, if I really want to change my career to play basketball, with my physical fitness and some basic knowledge of basketball, as long as I practice for a year or two, I think there should be no problem playing in the CBA.

I have also watched some CBA games. I am not bragging about the physical fitness of the three mobile Great Walls. My physical fitness is better than theirs.

It’s just like basketball and the film and television industry. I’m not in the system, so I can’t get into the CBA circle at all. I can’t get in touch with it. I can’t even do formal basketball training now, and I can’t find anyone to teach me.”

Yang Xue thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you film Shaolin Martial King with Wu Jing last year? Do you have his contact information?"

He said, "Yes, I went to his house for dinner half a month ago. We have a good relationship and call each other brothers. But does he have any way to play basketball?"

Yang Xue said, "I heard Teacher Yu mention it before. He said he graduated from Beijing Sport University. Beijing Sport University is the top sports university in China. He has a wide network of contacts. Maybe he has a way. It won't hurt to ask. If not, we can find a way later."

"Snapped!"

He Zhongqiu slapped his thigh and said with sudden realization: "I really didn't know that Brother Jing graduated from Beijing Sport University. This guy didn't even tell me."

"Pfft!"

Yang Xue rolled her eyes at He Zhongqiu and said unhappily, "Why would he tell you if you didn't ask? You only went to elementary school, and he is from a 211 university. Does it embarrass you to tell him that?"

He Zhongqiu was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

Yang Xue added: "If basketball doesn't work, we still have other options."

He Zhongqiu said: "I don't know anything, I only know a little bit of Kung Fu, and I'm still an amateur at basketball. What else can I do? Be a duck? I won't do that." "Go!"

Yang Xue blushed, glared at He Zhongqiu and said, "Even if you can't be an actor, you can always work behind the scenes as a martial arts director!"

"Martial arts director?"

He Zhongqiu's eyes lit up.

Yang Xue said: "You ask Wu Jing first. If he doesn't have a way to play basketball, I will ask Teacher Yu and others to introduce you to a few directors from Beijing Film Academy, and you can switch to being a martial arts director.

With your real kung fu skills, I don't believe you can't make it in this industry. Maybe you can become an action director when the opportunity comes in the future."

"to make."

After hearing what Jing Yangxue said, He Zhongqiu’s confidence increased greatly.

Yang Xue added: "To put it another way, the current industry generally uses martial arts from Hong Kong, such as the Yuan Clan, the Liu Clan, the Cheng Clan, and the Hong Clan. Even if you can't be a martial arts director, you can open a martial arts school.

It's not like you don't have real kung fu. You're a martial arts actor in the Yanjing area. When the time comes, you can open a school to teach students. I'll help you get a few celebrities from Beijing Film Academy to show your real kung fu. The media will definitely report it."

"it is good."

He Zhongqiu felt a surge in confidence.

Yang Xue seemed to remember something, and said excitedly: "By the way, famous martial artists all have nicknames, such as Swallow Li San, Broadsword Wang Wu, and Yellow-faced Tiger Huo Yuanjia. I will give you a nickname first, Iron Shirt Eagle Claw King, or Iron Claw King for short. What do you think?"

"Sister, is King Iron Eagle feeling better?"

"I think King Iron Claw is more vivid."

He Zhongqiu scratched his head with his fingernails and felt that Sister Xue, who was three years older than him, was younger than him.

"Okay then, I'll go ask Brother Jing about the situation first."

He nodded helplessly, took out his Nokia and started calling Wu Jing's cell phone.

"Hello, Mid-Autumn?"

"Brother Jing, where are you?"

"Home, there hasn't been any filming for a while, so I'll be going to Hengdian in a few days. What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Tell me if you have anything." Wu Jing said from the other end.

He Zhongqiu said: "Brother Jing, this is what happened. I decided to change my career and want to play basketball. I want to ask if you have any help."

"basketball?"

Wu Jing was startled, but when he thought about He Zhongqiu's height, he was not surprised. He thought for a while and said, "Don't mention it. I actually know a basketball agent who is an alumnus of Beijing Sport University. He is quite famous. His name is Xia Song. Have you heard of him?"

"Never heard of him. Who is he?" he asked.

"Then you should know Wang Zhizhi and Bart, right?" Wu Jing asked again.

"Of course I know this. From Daba to Dayao, the three major mobile Great Walls of China, how could I not know?" he said.

"Xia Song is Dazhi Daba's agent. He was the one who sent these two people to the NBA." Wu Jing said.

"Really?"

He Zhongqiu was startled, then said happily: "Brother Jing, you must help me. If you don't help me, I will block your door."

"Sanjin, you pretentious idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Xue, who was standing next to him, cursed in a low voice when she heard this.

"..." Wu Jing was also speechless. You, He Zhongqiu, blocked my door. Aren’t you afraid that I would ambush the police in advance?

He said helplessly: "Okay, I'll call Xia Song right away to ask about the situation and then let you know."

"to make."

He Zhongqiu hung up the phone.

"Speak to others nicely next time." Yang Xue said unhappily.

"I said it nicely."

He Zhongqiu sighed and said with deep emotion: "I have seen through this society. People must learn to bow their heads and act like grandsons."

Yang Xue said unhappily, "Then why haven't I seen you pretending to be a grandson in the past two years?"

He Zhongqiu said, "Why not? Last time, the rich woman who invested in the movie wanted to seduce me or kick me out of the crew, but I didn't get angry with her. I even thought about it and almost agreed. Isn't this just pretending to be a grandson? In the past, humph! I would definitely get angry with her without any consideration."

"Pfft!"

Yang Xue laughed so hard that she buried her head under the table.
