Chapter 205 Kung Fu King
But the next moment, He Zhongqiu crossed his arms and blocked the attack with a cross. With a bang, Johnson and his steel shield were blocked.

When this move was originally designed, Johnson requested to directly knock He Zhongqiu over. He believed that he was strong enough and He Zhongqiu could not stop him.

But after trying, he found that he couldn't push He Zhongqiu up at all, so he had to give up the action design of pushing He Zhongqiu up.

Just after He Zhongqiu held off Johnson, Johnson chopped down with the knife in his right arm.

At the same time, Statham and Wang Baoqiang rushed forward and launched their killer moves.
Statham crossed over from Johnson's left side and hit him on the top with a stick. The force of the stick was so fierce that it looked like he was going to smash He Zhongqiu's head.

On Johnson's right side, Wang Baoqiang rolled over and as he rolled past He Zhongqiu's left side, he slashed at He Zhongqiu's calf with his left hand.

Wu Jing on the left took a step forward, and his spear stabbed towards He Zhongqiu's right leg in an instant like a flying dragon.

At the same time, Zhang Jin on the right side followed behind Wang Baoqiang, keeping his sword hidden. He was waiting for Wang Baoqiang to roll past He Zhongqiu's position, and then he would immediately attack He Zhongqiu's upper three routes from the right wing.

For a moment, He Zhongqiu was surrounded by a group of people.

More than 20,000 people in the Staples Center and countless people in front of televisions around the world held their breath at this moment.

At this moment, He Zhongqiu suddenly turned right.

This right turn not only allowed him to dodge Wang Baoqiang's ground knife, but also Johnson's right-hand knife, Statham's long stick, and Wu Jing's spear.

At the same time, he also widened the distance between himself and Zhang Jin, and shortened the distance between himself and Statham and Wu Jing, and even flashed to the back of Johnson.

Zhang Jin is a sword and cannot attack from a distance.

Wu Jing and Statham are wielding long spears and long sticks, and the longer they are, the stronger they are. As the distance gets closer, their attacks cannot be carried out smoothly.

So this turn, in the action design, is a dodge and also the beginning of an attack.

The next moment, He Zhongqiu's left arm turned around and his left claw grabbed Johnson's back of the neck fiercely.

Even though he had rehearsed it many times, Johnson instantly felt the chilling aura that made his hair stand on end.

"what!"

He roared angrily, turned left to block, and according to the planned movement, swung his left arm outward violently.

At the same time, Wu Jing retracted his spear and stabbed again in an instant, this time stabbing hard into He Zhongqiu's chest.

Behind He Zhongqiu, Stans raised his stick again, held it with both hands, and fiercely hit He Zhongqiu's back with the base of the stick.

But none of this was as fast as He Zhongqiu's attack.

With a ripping sound, his left claw went out and tore the small vest on Johnson's left shoulder. At the same time, his right claw swung to block Wu Jing's spear.

At this time, Wang Baoqiang had turned and rolled behind He Zhongqiu, and the rolling blade wheel was slashing towards him along the floor.

At this moment, although the attacks of the two people were resolved, He Zhongqiu still had Statham's stick above him and Wang Baoqiang's knife below him.

"Watch your back!"

Jordan yelled.

The next moment, He Zhongqiu suddenly flew forward, turned around and kicked fiercely, kicking Zhang Jin, who was about to kill him with a sword, several meters away.

This time, he not only kicked Zhang Jin away, but also dodged the attack from behind.

Zhang Jin fell on the carpet and rolled over and over, releasing the force.

This kick did not have much killing power. He Zhongqiu's strength had long reached the level where he could control it at will.

But in the eyes of others, Zhang Jin, who was kicked like that, was probably close to death. If he spit out some ketchup from his mouth, it would be even more realistic.

"kill!"

Wu Jing shouted loudly and rushed forward with a gun.

Several other people also pressed forward, including Zhang Jin who had climbed up, and surrounded He Zhongqiu from all sides.

Wang Baoqiang took the lead in attacking He Zhongqiu from behind, and his two swords were like wheels, chopping towards his lower three parts.

He Zhong followed the planned moves and suddenly flipped backwards, dodging Wang Baoqiang's attack and landing behind him.

Then he grabbed Wang Baoqiang's ankles with his hands like hooks, lifted him up suddenly, and then threw him towards Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin dodged, and He Zhongqiu took the opportunity to rush forward quickly and escape from the encirclement. The two sides once again formed a confrontation situation.

"Kill Wolverine."

Dwayne Johnson brandished his sword and shield and roared, leading the other four forward again.

Next, according to the designed movements, the six people started fighting with such intensity that everyone watching was dumbfounded.

In this segment, there were no movements where weapons were used to strike the body. After all, those were real weapons, and even without a sharp edge, they were still very lethal. Even if he had the kung fu of an iron vest, he didn't want to try it.

Later in the fight, He Zhongqiu began to use Eagle Claw's grappling skills to snatch weapons.

First, he snatched Wu Jing's gun and showed him the plum blossom spear passed down to him by his father.

He had mastered the gun technique to perfection. With a casual flick of his hand, several gun flowers flew out. While showing off a lot of skills, he defeated five people in a crushing defeat.

Then he changed to Zhang Jin's sword, and with a perfect Xingyi dragon-shaped sword and the perfect Seven-Star Flower Step, he killed the five men and made them scream like ghosts.

He snatched Statham's stick and swept in all directions with a set of crazy stick techniques. The whistling sound of the stick was heart-wrenching. The five men were unable to get close to him and could only shout from a distance.

Finally, it was Wang Baoqiang's double swords. With a perfect set of Luan Paofeng sword skills, he killed five people in a panic. Their clothes were chopped to shreds, but they were not hurt at all.

After the weapons show, it was fist and foot combat.

This performance was also quite exciting, and everyone designed wonderful moves.

Johnson fell three times in a row to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and received a standing ovation.

Statham was a swimmer and has very good flexibility. Several difficult moves were designed for him, which also won applause from the audience.

Because Wu Jing, Zhang Jin and Wang Baoqiang were not tall enough, they designed joint moves, and their coordinated fighting was also very exciting.

In this segment, He Zhongqiu demonstrated the magic of the iron vest and withstood wave after wave of punches and kicks from five people. His physical strength shocked countless people.

"Is this the real Iron Shirt?"

Not only was Chenglong shocked, but so was Zhenzidan who was far away in Hong Kong.

They are considered experts. It can be seen that they were really fighting. Johnson and his four companions did not hold back at all. Wolverine is simply an iron man.

He Zhongqiu also performed a four-kick combo in the air. With his jumping and air-staying abilities, the four-kick combo was both powerful and explosive, and he beautifully kicked Johnson, Statham, Wu Jing and Zhang Jin away.

When Zhen Zidan saw this four-kick sequence, he was stunned.

He never thought that a person over two meters tall could actually perform such a difficult move.

You have to know that it was very difficult for him to perform three consecutive kicks. When he did the third kick, the ball was almost touching the ground. There was no beauty or power in the forced kick. He also tried to perform three consecutive kicks in the filming of the movie, but the shot was never used.

He remembered what he had said on the phone to Master Yuan Ba ​​before, that he could defeat Wolverine by himself. Master Ba, you won’t tell Wolverine, right?

Ten minutes later, the martial arts sparring performance ended. All six people were sweating and gasping for breath, and they saluted to the audience with their fists clasped.

"Crack, click, click..."

The media reporters at the scene rushed forward and surrounded the six people, with flash cameras flashing one after another.

"Clap clap clap..."

Everyone stood up and thunderous applause rang out in the Staples Center. There was no sign of stopping after three minutes, and it gradually subsided after five minutes.

"Perfect performance! This is the most perfect, most gorgeous and most incredible performance!" Barkley said excitedly.

Magic Johnson said excitedly: "After watching this martial arts sparring, I am really looking forward to Wolverine's performance in Blade 3."

Kenny Smith said excitedly: "Wolverine KO'd thirteen people by himself, but I now doubt that he can take out one hundred and thirty people by himself."

"Ha ha……"

Barkley and Johnson laughed.

Barkley shouted again: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think Wolverine's Kung Fu is so great that I'm going to give him a nickname, the Kung Fu King. What do you think?"

"Kung Fu King! Kung Fu King..."

Soon, uniform cheers rang out in the Staples Center.

David Stern's face was almost broken from laughing, but he had another worry: this martial arts performance was so exciting that would it steal the limelight from the upcoming All-Star Game?
With this idea in mind, he immediately called Luo Sihua Daley and whispered to him: "Luo Sihua, Wolverine should get more opportunities in this All-Star Game. This is the reward he deserves. Do you understand what I mean?"

Daley thought for a moment and nodded, "The Eastern Conference All-Star head coach is Rick Carlisle. I'll communicate with him right away."

David Stern nodded to Daley appreciatively, and whispered, "I hope the East wins, and all departments should cooperate."

Loshua Daley nodded. If the East won, the Most Valuable Player would naturally go to the Wolverine.

This All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles. Originally, the hope was that one of O'Neal and Kobe would perform well and win the Most Valuable Player award, but now it has to go to Wolverine.

Seeing Daly being reused, a bald man sitting in the sixth row at the back had a look of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and was burning with jealousy.

He has now been completely abandoned by David Stern and marginalized. He has no future in the NBA.

But he didn't understand why, why did David Stern, the damn old man, give up on him, what did he do wrong? Everything changed, all started with that damn Oseiko violence, the damn Wolverine ruined his bright future.

But now his contract is about to end, what next?
He had just bought a mansion worth more than eight million dollars in New York, as well as two luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. He couldn't lose this job, and he had to save everything.

"Wolverine, what is the Kung Fu called that of hitting a baseball with a baseball?" a reporter asked.

"Hidden weapon." He Zhongqiu said.

"Are you going to use it in the movie?" another reporter immediately asked.

"Yes, my next new movie." He nodded.

"Barkley calls you the Kung Fu King. Will you accept the challenge from others?" another reporter asked.

"No." He immediately shook his head.

"why?"

"I heard that top boxers can get 10 million or even tens of millions for a fight, so I won't accept the challenge for free."

"Ha ha!"

Johnson, Statham, Wu Jing and others who were also being interviewed nearby couldn't help but laugh.

He Zhongqiu and the other six were interviewed for nearly ten minutes before the fan carnival officially ended. It was almost half past seven at this time.

The staff began to clean up the scene, and He Zhongqiu and a group of all-stars left the scene.

"Zhongqiu, you're really in the spotlight. During the game later, the ratings might drop sharply," said Dayao.

"If you're envious, just say it." He Zhongqiu chuckled.

There were more than 20 All-Stars, including superstars like O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe, Iverson, Garnett, and Carter, but all of them followed He Zhongqiu obediently, and no one wanted to overtake the front.

Arriving at the Eastern Conference All-Star locker room, which is also the Lakers' visiting locker room, as the All-Star ticket king, He Zhongqiu's closet is located closest to the door, which is the so-called best spot.

The door is on the right and Vince Carter's closet is on the left.

Carter was the second most voted voter in this All-Star Game. Apart from He Zhongqiu, he was the only one who received over two million votes, and his popularity was very high.

He Zhongqiu looked at everyone and saw O'Neal Jr.

In last year's All-Star Game, Carter gave up the starting position to Jordan, and he snatched O'Neal's starting position and gave it to Carter.

He doesn't plan to do that this time. The feud with the Pacers is over.

"Wolverine……"

At this time, Rick Carlisle came in and motioned He Zhongqiu to follow him out.

The two came outside, and Carlisle said, "Wolverine, Vice President Loshua Daley just talked to me. He hopes you can perform better in the next game. He hopes that the East will win and you will get the AMVP this time."

"What does the alliance mean?" He Zhongqiu nodded thoughtfully.

Rick Carlisle said excitedly, "You are the absolute protagonist tonight. The ratings just reached 40 million, which is a record that the NBA has never had. Even if the ratings of the next game drop, it should still be half of that. You deserve it."

"okay, I get it."

More than two hours later, the All-Star Game ended, the Eastern Conference won, and He Zhongqiu won the first AMVP trophy of his career.

Although it was only the AMVP, it was not bad. At least it was a super NBA All-Star game with an average viewership of 32 million people. It was of great significance and could be called the NBA's Super Bowl.

This All-Star Game also made his popularity soar again, and he is in no way inferior to the world's top sports stars and Hollywood's top A-list stars.

But he still lacks the foundation, which is the honor of NBA and the box office of Hollywood.

After the All-Stars, Chenglong and He Zhongqiu brought a large group of people to Arnold's party.

Mr. Yuan Baye, Lin Dian, Yang Xue, Liu Yifei, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, Wang Baoqiang and others, none of them are missing.

At the party, Chenglong introduced He Zhongqiu to some of his experiences in Hollywood, some experiences and techniques in filming, and then asked him for advice on Kung Fu.

"Zhongqiu, you withstood their attacks. Is Iron Shirt really that powerful? How did you learn your hidden weapon skills?"

"Brother Cheng, the Kung Fu I practice is different from the Kung Fu you practice. I practice internal martial arts." He Zhongqiu laughed.

"The real internal martial arts." Mr. Yuan Ba ​​immediately agreed.

"This is real kung fu, and the method is not passed on to outsiders." Lin Dian added.

Chenglong rolled his eyes and asked, "Have you two become Wolverine's two henchmen?"

He wanted to learn and to make friends with He Zhongqiu, but he couldn't accept the idea of ​​treating He Zhongqiu as a half-teacher like Mr. Yuan Baye and the other two.

But he was also very curious, what kind of magic could make Mr. Yuan Ba ​​do this?
In fact, it's just a hobby. Yuan Heping is really interested in this and it's something he likes, so after seeing He Zhongqiu's real kung fu, he was unwilling to let go and grabbed the opportunity.

As for Lin Dian, he was influenced by Yuan Heping and was not that interested.

At the party, Ross Lewis helped the Mythology crew to attract several investments.

After New Line Cinema learned that He Zhongqiu was interested in starring in this film, although he would not be the lead actor, he expressed his willingness to invest two million US dollars.

Disney was willing to pay $6 million, Warner was willing to pay $4 million, and Universal Pictures was willing to pay $3 million.

The four companies jointly invested 1500 million US dollars. They had only one request, that He Zhongqiu must have enough roles and must show his kung fu.

These four companies have calculated very clearly that even if the first few Wolverine movies are average, the box office will not be bad.

After all, his fame and popularity are there, and the public's expectations for his kung fu are also there, so even a bad movie may still sell well.

They believe that they need to be more cautious when investing in future Wolverine movies, because the public's sense of novelty and anticipation for Wolverine is gone, and what remains is the pursuit of film quality. If the film is not well made, no matter how good the skills are, it will still lose money.

Chenglong understood that this play really needed major changes, and it had to be changed drastically.

According to the original plot, the myth was actually a love drama, but now it may have to be changed into an action romance film. I am afraid that Qin Shi Huang will be resurrected.

While He Zhongqiu was chatting with Arnold and the others, Ross Lewis came over and said:
"Boss, starting from the 24th, the Knicks have a wave of four away games in the West, playing the Clippers in Los Angeles on the 27th, and no game on the 28th. The schedule is very compatible. I suggest you attend the Oscars ceremony on the 28th."

"Wolverine, since you have time, I also suggest you participate. After all, you are already a part of Hollywood." Arnold said.

"You didn't attend the Golden Globe Awards last month, you should attend this time," Tom Cruise also said.

He Zhongqiu laughed and said, "Then let's participate. I am also looking forward to the famous Oscars!"

After a while, Ross Lewis came over again and said, "Boss, I just got two audition opportunities for Wu and Zhang."

"Well done."

He Zhongqiu was startled and asked, "What movie is it?"

Wu Jing and Zhang Jin were extremely happy. They thought it was right to follow Wolverine. Now the opportunity had come, hadn’t it?

"A Fantastic Four movie, a Batman Begins movie, both are big productions."

Lewis further explained: "But the role is not big, it's not a specially tailored script, and there are very few Chinese roles in Hollywood."

He Zhongqiu nodded and said, "We need to arrange the schedule properly so as not to delay our own movie."

"Of course." Lewis nodded.

Chenglong said with some emotion at this time: "In fact, it is really difficult for us Chinese to make it in Hollywood. I didn't make it until I was in my forties. It was too difficult.

Moreover, ordinary actors can only play supporting roles and it is difficult for them to play the leading role. I think our market is still dominated by Chinese-language films.”

He Zhongqiu said: "Brother Cheng, we are different from you. You are a superstar in Asia, and you came to Hollywood only after you reached your limit.

We are people who cannot make it in China. There is a saying in the mainland, "export to domestic sales". Let's roll around in Hollywood first, gild ourselves, and then fight our way back."

Chenglong laughed and nodded, saying, "That's the truth."

Wu Jing and Zhang Jin also nodded repeatedly. Isn’t that the case?

Especially Wu Jing, after playing two small roles in Hollywood, he returned to China to film The 36th Chamber of Southern Shaolin Temple, and his net worth and status increased.

At this time, news about the martial arts performance was all over the Internet, completely overshadowing the All-Stars.

"Wolverine, after the myth, can we work together again?" Chenglong said.

"Okay." He Zhongqiu nodded.

In fact, he really didn't want to get involved with people from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He had been in the Yanjing film and television industry for three years and had seen their true colors.

One time, Sister Xue helped him get a minor role in a film crew. When he was putting on makeup, he went to the wrong dressing room and entered the dressing room of a Hong Kong actor.

In fact, he just sat on the chair for a while, and then was scolded by the Hong Kong actor and makeup artist who came in later, and even the chair he sat on was thrown out.

It was because Sister Xue was around at the time and held him back, and he didn't want to get Sister Xue kicked out of the crew, otherwise he would have to teach those two bastards a lesson anyway.

But this circle is very small, just that small, and the relationships are complicated. Unless the person is particularly annoying, cooperation is inevitable.

For example, he collaborated with Lin Dian and Yuan Heping, and even taught them some kung fu. The main reason was that they had connections and abilities in Hollywood, and they were indispensable for filming action scenes.
