Although it was in the offseason, Li Du was not idle, and as soon as Yao Ming left on the front foot, Pretti found Li Du with a few friends.

These people are also old friends of Li Du, the big director Ang Lee, film and television stars Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi, all Chinese. Pretti told Li Du that this time, they asked Pretty to bring them to Li Du while the movie in which Pretty participated had just been completed.

After explaining the situation, Pretti whispered in Li Du's ear: "Honey, I think your ideals can start to act!" ”

Pratti and Li Du are almost heart-to-heart, and the last words that Master Shang Yun told Li Du were also conveyed to Li Du through her, so she knew very well that what Li Du wanted to do most was to promote Chinese culture around the world. In the past, although Li Du was very popular, but as a professional basketball player, he did not lead the team to win the championship, and it always seemed that he lacked some convincingness, this time Li Du led the Warriors to win the championship strongly, and he also won the finals MVP, his popularity around the world, especially in China, is almost the same as Kobe, so Pretti feels that the time is ripe.

Li Du often talked about this to Prett, Yao Ming and his agent Robert Pelinka before, and he also knew that this time these star directors in the film and television industry found him, which happened to be an opportunity!

Li Du met with several old friends in the Mingyue Martial Arts Hall, and as soon as he entered the door, Li An watched the architectural style and layout of the martial arts hall, nodded frequently, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a style that has been handed down from the Republic of China period, which makes people feel like returning to ancient times as soon as they enter the door." ”

After everyone sat down, Zhang Ziyi first said to Li Du: "Mr. Li ......"

Li Du raised his hand to interrupt her and said with a smile: "Sister Ziyi, everyone is an old friend, it's too much to say this, everyone just call me Xiao Du." ”

Everyone laughed, and then Zhang Ziyi said: "Okay, Xiao Du, then I'll say it directly, this time we are here to ask you for help!" ”

Li Du also said with a smile: "No problem, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely obligatory!" Sister Ziyi, just say it! ”

In Zhang Ziyi's narration, Li Du understood what she wanted to help herself. In fact, Zhang Ziyi mentioned this matter to Li Du a few years ago, a great director in China, Wong Kar-wai, wanted to make a movie about martial arts in the last years of the Republic of China, in which the Wing Chun master Ip Man was the main thing, and other martial arts masters and boxers were involved at that time. Li Du mainly learns Xingyi Boxing and Baguazhang, which are the two boxing techniques that he wants to focus on in the film. So Zhang Ziyi hopes that Li Du can personally guide himself and another actor who performs Xingyi Quan in the film.

This movie should have started filming a long time ago, but director Wong Kar-wai was very strict, and the funds he needed to prepare were very large, so it was delayed. A year ago, Wong Kar-wai heard Zhang Ziyi talk about Li Du, and wanted to invite Li Du to participate in the filming.

After listening to this, Li Du nodded and agreed: "I don't dare to be a guide, Sister Ziyi has also practiced kung fu since she was a child, I can only say that I try my best to show you my understanding of Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang." ”

At the end, he asked, "What is the name of this movie?" ”

"The name of the movie is "The Grandmaster"!"

"A generation of grandmasters?" Li Du nodded approvingly, "Master Ip Man, as well as many martial artists who debuted before and after him, are indeed worthy of the praise of a generation of grandmasters, this name is good!" ”

After Zhang Ziyi's matter was agreed, Li An said to Li Du with a smile: "Xiao Du, Ziyi wants to ask you to be a martial arts instructor, but I plan to invite you to make a movie!" How's that, interested? ”

Li Du smiled bitterly, he stood up and said to Ang Li: "Director Li, you look at me like this, the performance is not good-looking!" ”

This is the truth, Li Du looks cold, and his image is okay, but his body proportions are not very good. Li Du hangs his hands over his knees, he is a genius image in martial arts, and he was also a saint statue in ancient times, but when he makes a movie, his body will appear to be uncoordinated and not good-looking.

The so-called gains and losses must be gained, Li Du's figure has brought great convenience to him to learn martial arts and play basketball, but when it comes to making movies, such a figure is really not suitable.

Ang Lee also noticed this, and finally sighed and said, "It's a pity, I'm still thinking about putting your kung fu and Prati's ancient yoga on the screen, it seems that I have to think of other ways." ”

In the end, the matter was negotiated, Zhang Ziyi and another star will come to the Mingyue Martial Arts Gym to learn Xingyi Quan and Baguazhang from Li Du, and Wong Kar-wai will also come at that time, but he wants to understand how terrifying these boxing techniques can be in terms of combat effectiveness through Li Du.

After they left, Pritti walked behind Li Du, gently massaged Li Du's shoulder, and asked, "Honey, why didn't you agree to Ang Lee?" If you can star in a movie about kung fu, it will be better for your popularity and show your kung fu more. ”

Li Du shook his head with a smile and said: "My body shape is indeed a problem, but the most important thing is the script, Ang Lee once filmed Chinese martial arts beautifully and freehand, but the real martial arts battle scenes and martial arts are very different, and I am not in the film industry, there is no good script, I don't have time to accompany them crazy." ”

"Then why did you agree to help them do martial arts instruction? This thing doesn't make you much popular! "Pretti still doesn't understand.

Li Du pulled Pritt's hand, stroked it gently, and said: "This is like you need to build friendships with other Hollywood actors and directors, maybe this incident will not bring me much popularity, but it will bring me fame in their internal circles, so that they will come to me in the future, some things can not only look at the present, but need to think more long-term." ”

To Li Du's surprise, Zhang Ziyi brought Wong Kar-wai and another actor the next day, and after some understanding, Li Du learned that the actor's name is Zhang Jin, who plays the apprentice of the master of Xingyi Bagua Gate in the film, majoring in Xingyi Boxing, and Zhang Ziyi plays his younger sister, who is also the daughter of the master, majoring in Baguazhang.

After listening to Wong Kar-wai's comprehensive description of the martial arts he wanted to show, Li Du frowned, these people are not people in the martial arts world, they just know that there are these boxing techniques, but they don't know that there are also many factions in these martial arts. For example, Li Du, the Xingyi boxing he learned was passed on from Master Shang Xiangyun, which is Shang's Xingyi, which is different from Xue's Xingyi, Guo's Xingyi, and other Xingyi boxing.

The same is true of Baguazhang, because Li Cunyi, the master of Shang Xiangyun, and Cheng Tinghua, the great master of Baguazhang, are Jinlan brothers, so Shang Xiangyun also learned the Baguazhang of the Cheng School, and the Baguazhang that Li Du learned belongs to the Baguazhang of the Cheng School. In addition to the gossip of the Cheng faction, there are many other factions in Baguazhang, such as the Shi faction, the Li faction, the Gong faction, etc.

According to Wong Kar-wai's description, it should be Gong Baotian, the martial arts master of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, so it stands to reason that his Bagua palm should be the palace gossip, but Li Du, the gossip palm of this vein, is not clear, and he can't guide it. Similarly, this is also the case with Xingyi Fist. The Xingyi Fist mastered by the Gong School is passed down from Master Li Cunyi, which is similar to Shang's Xingyi Fist, and Li Du can still guide a little bit.

Wong Kar-wai's eyes lit up when he heard Li Du finish speaking, and he became more and more convinced that Li Du would definitely help him restore the martial arts world at the end of the Republic of China!
