1169. Favors, coercion
Nie Wei's fans and McGregor's fans quarreled together, no one was convinced, and countless melon-eating people stood in line, and there were people who supported either side, but on the whole, there were undoubtedly more people who supported McGregor.
After all, Nie Wei has no record except for the video and the legend of strangling a wolf with one hand, on the contrary, McGregor is now a big celebrity in the UFC, a double champion in the featherweight and lightweight divisions, and a new generation of fighting kings praised by the UFC.
These titles are all won by him with one punch and one kick, which is naturally more convincing in the eyes of the general public.
Of course, in the eyes of Nie Wei's fans, McGregor's achievements are not worth mentioning, do you have the ability to break a sandbag for us to see?
These remarks also deeply irritated McGregor, who is an avid social networker.
"I'm not an artist, I don't know how to play SHO, I'm just a fighter, if you want to watch SHO, go to that great director, in his movies Superman can be defeated, but that's only in the movies, and in reality, I only need one punch to make some people understand what real martial arts are. ”
McGregor's words aroused the fighting spirit of countless of his fans, and everyone united to start a new round of battles against Nie Wei and Nie Wei's fans.
Nie Wei's fans were naturally not frightened by McGregor, but hated him more and more because of his words.
That's the case with a flamboyant personality like McGregor, who loves him and who hates him is destined to hate him.
At the same time, many of Nie Wei's fans came to Nie Wei's Facebook and Weibo, asking Nie Wei to fight McGregor and shut him up with practical actions.
After all, in this kind of competition, the mouth cannon is useless, and the fans can't tell the winner if they break the sky, only the real fist-to-fist, foot-to-foot, and hard fight will know who is the truth.
Just like in "The Grandmaster" filmed by the King of Sunglasses, Grandmaster Ye once said that kung fu, two words, one vertical and one horizontal, stand right, fall down wrong, and only those who stand are qualified to speak.
However, Nie Wei did not respond to the fans' requests.
Nie Wei would not be angry because of some irrelevant words, and go to the ring to fight with people, not to mention winning or losing, just because of how many people are worried, Nie Wei has no idea in this regard.
During this time, Shu Chang stared at Nie Wei all the time, for fear that Nie Wei would rush into the ring if he was the only one who was hot-blooded, so Shu Chang confiscated Nie Wei's mobile phone and laptop, and only allowed Nie Wei to use them for office, and absolutely did not allow Nie Wei to watch the news on the Internet, let alone go on social networking sites.
The security team of 12 people in the crew was also expanded to 20 by Shu Chang, which created employment opportunities for some local unemployed veterans at home.
She did this to prevent Nie Wei from being provoked by the other party, and really agreed to face the battle, Nie Wei didn't say anything about it, let the girl work blindly, in fact, if he wanted to know what information and where he really needed to rely on the computer and mobile phone to search, he only needed to command, and naturally someone would tell him everything he wanted to know.
However, Shu Chang did this, which also provided Nie Wei with an environment where he could concentrate more on filming.
It's a pity that things didn't go as Shu Chang wanted, as time passed, McGregor's appointment with Nie Wei did not lower the heat because of Nie Wei's non-response, but with McGregor's provocative speech every day, the whole thing became more lively.
In particular, Nie Wei's non-response was a sign of weakness in the eyes of McGregor and his fans, which also fueled their arrogance.
Nie Wei's fans are very anxious, urging Nie Wei on the Internet every day, many people have even begun to wonder if Nie Wei is really scared, and some radical fans ran downstairs to Max Films to raise banners hoping that Nie Wei would face McGregor.
Even Bo (and) Cai companies have opened a handicap, betting on whether Nie Wei will face the battle, and the odds of agreeing to meet it are very high, because even they are not optimistic about Nie Wei going to the ring, after all, Nie Wei is not a professional fighter.
One morning, Cheng Zimo and Nie Wei exercised in the morning as before, but Cheng Zimo seemed a little absent-minded from the beginning, and even Nie Wei's personal guidance made him unable to concentrate.
Half an hour later, Nie Wei looked at Cheng Zimo with a frown and asked him what he was thinking.
This can be regarded as giving Cheng Zimo a step of catharsis, in front of Nie Wei, Cheng Zimo asked directly: "Master, that McGregor yells at us every day, I really can't bear it anymore, or let me go to the ring for you and fight him." ”
In the past few days, Cheng Zimo has been aggrieved, and he has seen McGregor's speeches every day, not because he can find them, but because these remarks can make headlines almost every day, and he will definitely pay attention to them as long as he goes online.
And as McGregor's speech became more and more excessive, Cheng Zimo couldn't hold back the anger in his heart for more and more months.
He can be sure that the reason why Nie Wei should not fight is definitely not because of fear, he has followed Nie Wei to practice martial arts all these years, he knows best Nie Wei's actual combat ability, at least from the beginning to the present, the two have fought no less than 100 battles, but Cheng Zimo has never won once, and he has not even seen the hope of winning.
Every time Cheng Zimo felt that he had made a lot of progress, he challenged Nie Wei, but every time he was beaten by Nie Wei and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he still did not test the depth of Nie Wei's strength.
Just ask such a powerful person, even if the opponent is a professional martial artist, but he believes that Nie Wei's strength is not afraid of any opponent.
Although he couldn't guess Nie Wei's reason why he shouldn't fight, he felt that as Nie Wei's disciple, he had the obligation to protect his master's reputation when he was humiliated.
"Master, what are you laughing at, I mean really, if you have to agree, I will go to the battle immediately!" Cheng Zimo saw that after Nie Wei heard his request, not only did he not answer, but he also looked at him vigorously, and he suddenly became anxious.
"Looking at your impatience, I naturally have my reasons why I shouldn't fight. Nie Wei said with a smile.
These days, he has actually paid attention to McGregor's speech, if the first two or three days may have been McGregor's sincerity, then in recent days, McGregor's more and more arrogant remarks are completely deliberately provoking Nie Wei.
The purpose is self-evident, and naturally it is to hype yourself.
You must know that those fighters in the UFC are all hype masters, they not only know how to fight, but they are also very good at showmanship, especially McGregor, who is one of the best.
When Nie Wei saw McGregor's message saying that he was a showman, Nie Wei almost didn't laugh out loud.
You must know that the UFC is a commercial league, and every fighter in it is a commodity, just like an entertainment star, and the purpose is to entertain the public.
If there is attention, there will be an audience, and his own value will rise sharply, such as McGregor's deliberate 'six relatives do not recognize' step every time he appears, as well as every time he will provoke the opponent without a bottom line before the game, and he is even more arrogant when he wins, these are all his shows.
Nie Wei even guessed that the other party saw that he had provoked himself in the past few days, and suddenly his popularity soared, and it became endless, just like those public accounts that rubbed the popularity of celebrities, he didn't care whether Nie Wei was true or false, he just wanted to seize Nie Wei's popularity, and then increase his popularity.
"Master, I know you have a reason, but if this continues, people all over the world will be afraid of him. ”
"And he not only insulted you, Master, but also said that we Huaxia people and kung fu are not good, I am really angry. ”
Cheng Zimo said angrily, his expression was very sad, Nie Wei looked at him and shook his head, did not reprimand, but told Cheng Zimo not to act without permission.
didn't reprimand because Nie Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with Cheng Zimo, shouldn't a hot-blooded young man be like this, but he was different, he had a wife, parents, and so many corporate employees waiting for him to raise, it was impossible for him to do such a hot-blooded thing.
But sometimes, even if you don't want to, some people will push you forward.
Nie Wei came to the set in the morning, and suddenly received a call from Huaxia during the preparation for filming, and the person who called surprised him.
"Hello, Grandpa Wu. ”
"Xiao Nie, how am I, how are you, I heard that you are also making a movie, is it going well?"
"Pretty good. Nie Wei's expression was a little strange, because this Grandpa Wu has a very special identity, he is a master of Tongjiquan who lives in Cangzhen, Nie Wei was accompanied by Wang Jiawei to learn materials, and he consulted Tongjiquan for two days, and left each other on the phone at that time.
But to be honest, Nie Wei never thought that the two would cross paths again, and listening to this Wu Lao's tone, it was until he had something to find himself.
Thinking of the favor of this old Wu for two days, Nie Wei felt that as long as he could help, he should help and return this favor.
After chatting a few words awkwardly, this Wu Lao asked Nie the only very irrelevant sentence.
"Xiao Nie, I recently watched the news, there is a fighter in the United States, saying that he wants to challenge you, what do you think of the strength of that fighter, can you beat it?"
Nie Wei frowned, finding that this question was not simple.
After all, Wu Lao, who lives an ordinary life in China, why did he suddenly start to care about the affairs of the United States, and it is still this kind of gossip.
Nie Wei gradually had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't be completely sure.
"I've only seen videos of him online, and he's a great guy. Nie Wei pondered for a moment and replied.
McGregor is arrogant, but his strength should not be underestimated, which Nie Wei must admit, after all, the double champion of featherweight and lightweight is not said by mouth.
McGregor is at least more than a step better than Cheng Zimo, which is why Nie Wei didn't let Cheng Zimo act without permission, because he knew that Cheng Zimo couldn't win in the ring.
"The martial artist has a sharp side kick, a nimble footwork, a lot of power and speed, and a steady start when he should be on the next set, and I know he also practices yoga and jiu-jitsu, so he has some flexibility and a lot of joint skills. Nie Wei told Wu Lao some of the analysis of the video he had watched.
"Then do you think you can beat him?" asked Wu Lao again.
Nie Wei thought for a moment before replying, "Sixty percent." ”
Guoshu is not a superpower after all, it is only a kind of fighting skills, Nie Wei compares the physical fitness and fighting experience of both sides, and the insurance predicts that he can have a sixty percent winning rate.
Of course, how it really is, you have to really fight on the spot to know.
"Sixty percent...... , Xiao Nie, Grandpa Wu begs you something, you don't need to agree, just listen to it, okay?" Wu Lao said suddenly.
Nie Wei's heart moved, knowing that the other party was finally about to reveal his ultimate purpose.
"Mr. Nie. Wu Lao even changed his title to Nie Wei's honorific title, and then said: "I know that my request is very abrupt, but for the sake of Huaxia Kung Fu, I want to ask you here, if you are sure of winning this battle, then please stand in the ring, for the reputation of Huaxia Kung Fu, win this duel, I beg you." ”
Nie Wei was moved, although he vaguely guessed in advance that what Wu Lao was going to say was related to the duel, he didn't expect that Wu Lao would use this attitude to plead with him.
"Elder Wu, I'm ...... I still need to think about one or two. Nie Wei wanted to refuse directly, but when the words came to his mouth, he still couldn't bear it, after all, the seventy-year-old man on the other end of the phone pleaded with him with such a humble attitude, Nie Wei's refusal was too decisive, it would be too hurtful.
To Nie Wei's relief, Wu Lao did not force Nie Wei anymore, but agreed to two sentences in frustration and hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, Nie Wei thought about the reason why Wu Lao was on the phone, he simply didn't want to see the other party insult Kung Fu, and wanted Nie Wei to take this breath for him and beat McGregor?
Nie Wei felt that it was impossible, Wu Lao was seventy years old, even if the person who practiced martial arts was strong, but how could Wu Lao be so willful.
Just when Nie Wei was still thinking, the mobile phone in his hand rang again, and looking at the caller number, Nie Wei's face changed.
"The crew was delayed by one hour, note, the crew was delayed by one hour. Soon after, a field girl shouted loudly to the crew.
Many people pulled her and asked her the reason for the delay, but she couldn't answer why, only said that it was ordered by Nie Wei.
On the other side, Nie Wei looked at the mobile phone on the table, in just fifteen minutes, he had already answered three calls, and all of them were from those martial arts seniors who had communicated when he had taken the 'Grandmaster Road' before.
And they all have the same purpose, that is, they hope that Nie Wei will fight McGregor.
Nie Wei looked at the mobile phone on the table, and had a feeling in his heart, if nothing else, this mobile phone would ring again, and when he first thought of this, the mobile phone on the table really rang again.
Nie Wei picked up the phone with a wry smile, this is the relationship between him and the field affairs to announce the delay.
What Nie Wei didn't know was that at this time in Huaxia, these old-timers who called Nie Wei were all gathered together at this time.
