Chapter 27: Flattered

The thick calluses that have been worn off and grown on Lin Mingyang's hands, and the huge amount of manuscripts in the computer, all indicate that his full and busy holiday life is about to come to an end. On the last night before leaving, the old man called Lin Mingyang to the study and solemnly handed over the ancestral boxing book to him.

"It's been handed down from my father's generation, and it's been in my hands for some years. I'll give it to you now, but not like an antique book, which is nothing but a dead thing, but a man is alive. After going back, I will see more places I don't understand, and the most important thing in the way of martial arts is to practice diligently. ”

Lin Mingyang took the quaintly bound boxing book, thinking that this month's hard work was finally not in vain. Seeing that the old man was in a good mood at the moment, he asked hopefully: "So I am considered a teacher?" ”

"I just learned a little bit of fur, but I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!" Lin Aoquan snorted angrily, "If you want to become a teacher, you are still early!" ”

After getting along for so long, Lin Mingyang knew that the old man's temper was cold and hot, and even if he cared, he would not show it in person. Lin Mingyang had long been accustomed to such a blow, and he hung his head in frustration, ready to meet the old man's next reprimand.

"I was opposed to your parents' marriage back then, and I didn't like your foreign mother very much. Later, when you suffered a little from me, they took you away, and from that time on, I broke off my mind about passing on this ancestral Bajiquan. This time, Lin Aoquan did not hit Lin Mingyang coldly like he usually did when he practiced boxing, but sighed faintly.

"This time you came back and brought up this matter again, I was thinking, I am also a person who buried half of my body in the soil, but this skill is passed down from my ancestors after all, so it is better to pass it on with me in the coffin. Whether you really want to learn, or have other purposes, anyway, I have taught you seriously, and I am worthy of my ancestors. As for you, I don't expect this kung fu to be carried forward in your hands, and before your kung fu is not successful, don't advertise that you are the successor of Bajiquan, so as not to insult the name of this 'Baji Collapse of the World'. ”

Other martial arts boxing, whether it is true or not, some people always feel that there is light on their faces, and it is rare for Old Man Lin to ask for this. This reminded Lin Mingyang of the sentence that Mr. Matthew gave himself in that class debate: beautiful birds know how to cherish their feathers. The ancestors of the Lin family set the rule that "the law is not passed on lightly", and I am afraid that the descendants are worried that they are only trying to make a name for themselves, and forget the true meaning of practicing martial arts.

The old man's words made Lin Mingyang inevitably feel a little ashamed, he asked to learn boxing, but there were actually a lot of utilitarian ideas in his heart. Now it seems that the old man has actually seen through his mind a long time ago, and after this beating before leaving, the true meaning of the words that are not spoken can only be understood by Lin Mingyang himself.

As a small town in Napani, Lin Mingyang's simple bag is full of heavy harvests. On the return plane, Lin Mingyang was still seizing the time to revise some chapters of "Twilight", and at this time he did not realize that his life would be turned upside down because of the upcoming movie.

Before he had time to completely wash away the dust of the journey, Lin Mingyang hurriedly boarded the plane the day after returning to Florida, and his destination this time was Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States. The film "Youth Musical" will hold a series of promotional activities here until the end of the summer.

Being able to end his vacation in Los Angeles is a blessing for Lin Mingyang. In his opinion, Los Angeles, the city that has nurtured generations of the American dream, has a unique charm that he is deeply attracted to in his past life and in his present life.

If the 19th century was the world of Paris, the first half of the 20th century belonged to New York, then Los Angeles dominated the trend of world fashion culture after the 60s of the 20th century, it is the most valuable city in the world, and it is a habitat with unrestrained imaginative minds.

And another reason why Lin Mingyang has a soft spot for this city is naturally because of Hollywood. From an obscure town more than a hundred years ago to a diverse, vibrant and vibrant downtown today, Hollywood has become a major symbol of American culture. It can be said that the history of Hollywood is the history of American cinema. Hollywood films not only meet the needs of the American film market, but also export to all parts of the world, not only exporting American culture, but also bringing huge profits to Hollywood investors.

Maybe in the near future, he will become one of them, and even leave a strong mark here, when he thinks of this, Lin Mingyang can't hide his excitement. He plans to take advantage of this opportunity to do publicity in Los Angeles and take time to visit Hollywood's famous Walk of Fame.

Josh Schwartz, the director of Fox TV, once said that Lin Mingyang would one day leave his name, perhaps he was just a whim compliment, but Lin Mingyang not only took his words seriously, but also worked unswervingly in that direction, he even thought about the way to sign, and when the time came, he was ready to leave his Chinese name on it.

"Hi Felix!" Lin Mingyang, who was walking in the flow of people, heard someone shouting his name at the end of the road, he fixed his eyes, and then found the guy standing outside the isolation line holding a sign with his name written on it, "Why is he?" ”

Lin Mingyang was stunned, although Kenny Ortega had told him that there would be someone to pick him up, but he still didn't, it would be Ex, the producer of "Song Youth". He couldn't help but think about it, and the crowd outside had already pushed him in front of Ex.

"Mr. Ex, why did you come here in person?" Lin Mingyang asked in surprise.

"Originally, Kenny was the guy who came to pick you up personally, but he had something to do on the fly, so I came over?" Ex explained with a smile.

I'm just an actor who hasn't become famous yet, and I need to be a director and producer to greet him? Lin Mingyang thinks that he doesn't have such a big energy, and if something goes wrong, he is a demon, and the producer's enthusiastic attitude makes Lin Mingyang feel a little confused. And he didn't know that before the official release of "Youth Musical", Disney Company had conducted a small test screening of the film, and the results surprised everyone.

This incident has increased the importance of Disney's top management to this film by more than one level. As the screenwriter of the film, the original creator of most of the theme songs, plus the title of a leading actor, it is enough for Disney to pay high attention to Lin Mingyang, a fledgling but talented newcomer. Ex, who received the news in advance, affirmed his previous judgment more and more, he had consciously established a good personal relationship with Lin Mingyang before this, and at this time, he further wooed Lin Mingyang, which was equivalent to holding a future trump card.

Of course, it was impossible for Ex to tell Lin Mingyang these words, he pretended not to see the puzzled expression on the other party's face, but instead cared about Lin Mingyang's holiday life. "The color of your skin tells me that you've enjoyed at least one vacation in plenty of sun, Hawaii or the Caribbean?"

Lin Mingyang shook his head, but Exx, who thought he was smart, further misunderstood what he meant, "Could it be that you went further afield, is it Southeast Asia or the Mediterranean?" ”

"Neither!" Lin Mingyang smiled helplessly, "I stayed in Canada for the whole holiday, and my grandfather lived there!" ”

"I see!" Ex had a look of sudden realization, and the embarrassment on his face flashed. He was about to change the subject, but the layer of white gauze wrapped around Lin Mingyang's fist attracted his attention. "Felix, your hand hurts?"

The helpless expression on Lin Mingyang's face became more and more heavy, looking at Ex who was full of concern, he was a little embarrassed to speak, and finally could only prevaricate, "This is not a medical bandage, it is just a simple protective effect when wrapped on the hand." ”

"Protective?"

Looking at Ex's curious look, Lin Mingyang had to explain: "Didn't you ask me before if I had received professional martial arts training. Actually, my grandfather was a master of martial arts, and our family inherited a martial arts technique from China, and I received further training from my grandfather this holiday. ”

"I know what you said, that martial arts technique, the Chinese call it kung fu." Ex guessed correctly once, "Is Mr. Bruce Lee's kind of kung fu right?" ”

"Kung Fu is just a general term, there are many genres like art, and Mr. Bruce Lee uses Jeet Kune Do, which is not the same as the fighting technique I learned." Most Americans' understanding of Chinese kung fu is still stuck in the impression of Bruce Lee's time. Because of the old man's instructions before leaving, Lin Mingyang did not tell Ex that he was learning Bajiquan.

"Just like Jackie Chan and Mr. Jet Li, their kung fu is not a genre!" Ex nodded knowingly, "Felix, why do you suddenly want to start learning kung fu?" ”

"Kung fu can be used as a sport to exercise the body, and also as a fighting technique to be used in actual combat, of course, if I develop in the direction of an actor in the future, knowing some kung fu can also broaden my acting path."

Lin Mingyang did not position himself in the position of an idol star, which shows that he has to see farther than ordinary young people, Exx nodded, at first he didn't take this matter to heart, but when he got in the car, he suddenly remembered something.

Ex's heart was rapidly calculating the pros and cons of the whole thing, since he had decided to bet heavily on Lin Mingyang, then the news he heard not long ago, whether it was for Lin Mingyang or Ex, it might be a rare opportunity!

The car was speeding on the way to the hotel, and Lin Mingyang's attention was quickly attracted by the gorgeous street scene of Los Angeles outside the car window, but he didn't know that at this time, a faint plan had begun to take shape in Ex's mind. Ex was not in a hurry to tell Lin Mingyang his idea, because he was not sure enough to convince Disney's top management at the moment. Everything will have to wait until the ratings of "Youth Musical" come out.

(Many friends in the book review area have mentioned the problem of the number of updates, in fact, the frog has also mentioned it in the relevant notes about this book, because it is impossible to put most of the energy on writing the book during the year, so 3000-4000 words a day is already the limit of the frog, here I apologize to the friends who support this book, the book is definitely fat, but it takes a little longer, I hope you can understand, thank you again for your enthusiastic support!) )
