Chapter 9 The First Disciple
I know a little bit about it, so let's demonstrate a few moves.
Su Yu didn't waste any words. He took off his coat and stood still. His original easygoing temperament vanished, replaced by the calm and steadfast demeanor of a seasoned master.
He took a sudden step forward, kicking up clouds of yellow dust.
"With Tai Chi as its guiding principle, the world is at peace; with Bajiquan as its martial art, the universe is stabilized!"
Su Yu was using the powerful and unparalleled Bajiquan!
With the blessing of the title "Grandmaster", he mastered the art, and his movements, though expansive and powerful, revealed an extremely graceful suppleness.
Advance with the hammer, subdue the dragon, and tame the tiger!
Each punch he threw produced an extremely faint whooshing sound in the air, yet his movements were as graceful and fluid as flowing water, finally stopping steadily in front of Lin Gengxin, his posture upright, like a javelin.
The scene was completely silent.
With a thud, the script in Lin Gengxin's hand fell to the ground.
"Holy crap..."
Lin Gengxin's eyes widened, her inner chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) instantly ignited, and she pounced on Su Yu, grabbing his arm.
"Bro! Dear bro! Your Tai Chi is so cool! Teach me! Can I become your apprentice? If I learn this move, who will dare to steal my computer at the internet cafe!"
Not only Lin Gengxin, but Director Wu, who was standing next to her, was also stunned. At first, he thought Su Yu only knew a few punches and kicks, but when he saw Su Yu's stance, he thought to himself that Su Yu was interesting and must have studied martial arts.
But when Su Yu finished his entire routine, he froze on the spot.
The more I taste it, the more something seems off!
As the saying goes, laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Lin Gengxin only thought Su Yu's outfit was cool, but Director Wu saw it completely differently!
Good heavens! Whose disciple has come down from the mountain?
With this talent, why not act in action movies instead of making a feature film?
He immediately pulled Lin Gengxin aside and, with a hint of ingratiation, said to Su Yu in a earnest tone:
"Xiaoyu, I'm decades older than you, and I know some big shots in the industry, like Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan. I can connect you with them."
"Just say the word, and I can't guarantee you'll become a martial arts superstar, but I'm 100% certain you'll become a top-tier celebrity!"
Su Yu naturally declined his offer. As for martial arts films, according to his plan, he would only occasionally make one to enjoy himself, such as playing Ip Man or Bruce Lee, showing off his coolness occasionally, and satisfying the fantasies of his fans and himself.
But fighting, jumping out of cars, jumping off buildings, and being suspended by wires every day—that's not Su Yu's style.
It was really tiring, but he could grant Lin Gou's request, so he accepted him as his first disciple without saying a word.
Although Director Wu was rejected by Su Yu, he was not discouraged, after all, she did not completely reject him!
The young man is still too hot-blooded. Let's have dinner with him another day and give him a good talking-to. Maybe he'll change his mind.
He was as excited as a talent scout who had discovered a rough gem that had the potential to become a top star.
The most coincident thing is that he has an old friend, Xu Ke, who is preparing to film a novel by Gu Long next year. He had previously asked Xu Ke to help him find the right actors. It was truly a stroke of luck!
That afternoon, Lin Gengxin even treated Su Yu to a formal apprenticeship banquet. Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony with him and decided to rip him off since he wouldn't accept tuition.
After a hearty meal, Lin Gengxin looked at Su Yu with a pang of regret, but still excitedly called him "Master" repeatedly.
The two strolled towards the film crew's hotel. Lin Gengxin, like a little follower, rubbed her hands together and approached Su Yu with expectant eyes.
"Master, where shall we begin our practice tonight? Shall we start by learning how to leap across rooftops and walls, or will you teach me the Bajiquan set directly?"
Su Yu glanced at him speechlessly, but did seriously consider what would be suitable to teach him.
He doesn't have a fitness background yet. If you really want to teach Bajiquan, with his frail physique from spending all his time in internet cafes playing games, he'd probably be stuck in the orthopedics department of Hengdian First People's Hospital after just a few days of practicing horse stance.
But since he has already called me "Master" and attended the apprenticeship banquet, he should at least teach me something.
Su Yu's eyes darted around, and an idea immediately came to him. He put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, adopted a superior air, and slowly began to speak:
"My good disciple, there are 360 side sects within the Daoist school, all of which lead to enlightenment. I wonder which one you... um, you little rascal, want to learn?"
Lin Gengxin was taken aback. Why did these lines sound so familiar?
But never mind, his inner chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) had already been ignited, so he quickly bent down to cooperate:
"Following Master's teachings, as long as I can pretend... as long as I can uphold justice, that's enough!"
"it is good."
Su Yu nodded and held up one finger.
"I'll teach you the 'Painless Wire Work Technique,' which is the long-lost Iron Crotch Kung Fu and Golden Bell Cover. Once you master it, even if the wire stuntman on set shakes, you'll have absolutely no fear of losing your fertility. What do you say?"
Lin Gengxin felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the name and quickly shook his head: "This skill doesn't sound cool at all! How can I show off my mighty physique in front of girls?"
Su Yu shook his head: "No, it can only make you appear more composed when you get beaten up."
Lin Gengxin's heart pounded like a rattle-drum: "No! No!"
"Then I'll teach you the health-preserving Tai Chi from the 'Quiet Word School'?" Su Yu raised a second finger. "It cultivates the mind and body, prolongs life, and living to ninety-nine is not a dream after you master it."
Lin Gengxin's eyes lit up: "So, if you encounter a terrible teammate while playing ranked games at an internet cafe, can you just rush over and elbow them flying?"
Su Yu rolled his eyes at him: "No, because I think that jerk is most likely you, but if you get beaten up by the other party, you can lie down very smoothly and extort money from him for internet fees for the rest of your life."
Lin Gengxin was horrified: "That's too cowardly! I won't learn it! I won't learn it!"
"How about I teach you Bajiquan this afternoon? It's incredibly powerful and domineering!"
Su Yu sighed and tentatively asked.
Lin Gengxin nodded frantically, "This is great! This is great! Master, how long will it take me to master this set of punches? Will I be able to show off on the film set in a couple of days?"
Su Yu looked at him with a forced smile:
"It's simple. Practice in the sweltering heat of summer and the freezing cold of winter. Get up at four in the morning every day, practice horse stance for three hours, then find a tree to lean against and lean against a mountain. If you break ten trees, you've mastered the basics. After about five years of practice, you'll be able to go out and show off."
Lin Gengxin's smile froze instantly.
"Master...Master..." Lin Gengxin swallowed hard and tentatively asked.
"What I'm saying is, is there any martial arts technique in this world that doesn't require getting up early, doesn't require getting beaten up, and can just swiftly appear in front of the camera like a peerless swordsman, capable of captivating countless young women?"
