The process of apprenticeship is actually very simple, that is, three bows and nine knocks, pour tea for the master, and after the master drinks the tea, it means that he is officially accepted as a disciple, and then the master leads the disciples to bow to the ancestors. But the etiquette of this process is very solemn, first of all, there must be the same door and the martial arts in the respected figures to witness, if it is in the old society, like Mr. Sun Zhijun and other respected masters to accept disciples and send a wide number of prayers.

This time Wang Xu's apprenticeship is the most important apprenticeship activity in the past ten years, and the five major factions of Baguazhang in the country: Yin Shi, Cheng Shi, Shi Shi, Liang Shi, and Zhang Shi all have heavyweights who witnessed this apprenticeship ceremony. For example, among the twelve famous teachers of various factions on the scene, there are Ge Chunyan, Guan Baoping, and Han Yanwu, these three famous teachers of Baguazhang are the teachers who taught Zhang Ziyi Baguazhang in "The Grandmaster".

In addition to his wife, the witnesses he invited were Chow Yun-fat and his parents, the so-called "parents who gave birth to me, and master who taught me", the traditional master-apprentice relationship in traditional Chinese etiquette is second only to the father-son relationship.

There are also reporters from Hebei TV who reported on the whole process.

Although there were many onlookers at the apprenticeship scene, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn, Mr. Sun Zhijun wore a white hexagram with patches but very clean washing, it is said that this white hexagram was given by the master on his birthday when he was studying art decades ago. Usually, the old gentleman is not willing to wear it at all, but today he accepted Wang Xu, a closed disciple, and made an exception to wear it.

Wang Xu was also wearing a relatively solemn dress, wearing a cyan tunic suit, he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times. Then he held a cup of tea and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea." ”

"Good, good!" Mr. Sun was very happy, and it was a great joy to be able to accept another disciple in the ancient year. After drinking tea. Wang Xu officially became the head of the Cheng faction's gossip.

Next, Mr. Zhang led a group of people to worship the first, second, and third generations of patriarchs. At the same time, it is also to tell the history of Baguazhang to the new Wang Xu.

Baguazhang is a kind of boxing technique based on palm transformation and walking and turning, and the pace of walking is similar to the Baguazhang of the Book of Changes, so it is called Baguazhang.

Baguazhang and Xingyi boxing, Taijiquan are also known as the three major internal boxing. This type of boxing was created by Dong Haichuan, a strange man during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, although its history is only more than 100 years. But it does have a glorious history, and there are many masters. For example, Dong Haichuan's disciple Cheng Tinghua is the ancestor of the Cheng faction's Baguazhang.

What is so powerful about Cheng Tinghua. It is also said that one of his disciples knows that Sun Lutang, the head of the top ten grandmasters of the Republic of China, is his disciple.

Sun Lutang is the same era as Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, and Ip Man. Huo Yuanjia and Huang Feihong were the two masters of the north and south who were famous in martial arts at that time, a bit like "North Qiao Feng and South Murong" in Jin Yong's novel, and Sun Lutang was above the two, he was the first person in martial arts at that time, and the only one in Chinese history who was respected as a "martial saint" by people who studied martial arts all over the world like Guan Yu.

Sun Lutang is almost revered as a god in the martial arts world of the Republic of China, and he is also the only person in the history of martial arts who has practiced the three major internal fists at the same time, Tai Chi Xingyi Bagua to the peak, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first master since the Ming and Qing dynasties.

This time, after Wang Xu's apprenticeship with Mr. Sun Zhijun, the famous teacher of gossip, was reported by Hebei TV, it attracted some attention on the Internet, and some netizens guessed whether Wang Xu was preparing for the new film and deliberately strengthened martial arts recuperation. However, this view is not mainstream, and the mainstream view is just a kind of entertainment news, and there is not much interpretation.

Only a few friends in the circle knew that Wang Xu wanted to transform. It's really a real move for the new film. After Jackie Chan saw the news, he called Wang Xu.

"Sledgehammer, are you really going to make a kung fu movie?" Jackie Chan now knows that Wang Xu is not joking, he said: "There is a lot of risk in transformation, and the market for making kung fu movies is not very good now, have you thought clearly?" ”

"I understand that there is a risk, and I just make a comedy that doesn't worry about the box office." Wang Xu said: "I want to challenge other genres. I believe it is man-made, and even if it fails, I will not regret it. Even if it's the same as why did you go to Hollywood back then, it's an adventure. ”

Jackie Chan understood Wang Xu's determination and said with a smile: "Do you need me to help you with anything?" ”

After Wang Xu said thank you, he said, "I want to ask my eldest brother to be your director." ”

Many viewers may not have noticed that many blockbuster movies such as "Police Story", "Plan A", and "Flying Eagle Project" are directed by Jackie Chan himself, but his fame as an actor is too great, which makes people ignore that he is still a top kung fu film director.

"No problem, this busy big brother will definitely help you."

"That's great, I'll send it to you after the script is finalized in a few days, I'm a little busy now, so I won't talk to you more, hang up."

Wang Xu was going to send Chow Yun-fat away, but Fa Ge came and heard his and Jackie Chan's words, and said: "It's a good idea for you to ask Jackie Chan to be the director, and your new film with him and the family class is at least guaranteed in quality." ”

Of course, the benefits of joining Jackie Chan are not enough, Wang Xu smiled and said: "Student, I am taking risks now, teacher, do you want to escort you?" ”

Chow Yun-fat scolded with a smile: "Hit my attention, first of all, my brothers should also settle accounts, don't think that I will lower my salary!" ”

"Oh, it's too hurtful to talk about money, and besides, I and you are not brothers, we are a master-apprentice relationship, the so-called 'one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father', Dad Zhou, do you say yes?"

Chow Yun-fat was covered with goosebumps when Wang Xu screamed from Zhou's father, but there was some warmth in his heart, and he hurriedly said: "I surrendered, I was really unfortunate to be relied on by you in my later years, a stinky boy." ”

Wang Xu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, I don't want to let you suffer if I lose money myself." ”

"I like to hear that."

Chow Yun-fat laughed, he was very supportive of Wang Xu's transformation, what an actor plays must be like, not limited to one type, young people should continue to challenge themselves.

"Okay, don't send it, you go back, what do you need to keep in touch."

"Have a nice trip!"

Wang Xu watched Chow Yun-fat get into the car and did not return until the car disappeared at the entrance of the village.

The guests left one after another, Zhuang Xiaodie went to see her parents to the airport, only a few reporters did not leave, they rented a house nearby and squatted to take some photos of Wang Xu's practice, and at the same time wondered whether Wang Xu was really practicing martial arts or a hype.

These reporters are also really patient, squatting for half a month, and really took a lot of pictures of Wang Xu practicing for them, such as starting at five o'clock in the morning, Wang Xu and the old and young masters of Chengjia Village were practicing boxing together, and standing under a tree in the afternoon, but unfortunately they did not take pictures of Mr. Sun Zhijun personally teaching art.

Three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, this can no longer be said to be practicing and playing, Wang Xu is really meticulous in practicing. The reporter didn't see that Wang Xu's practice in the room was even harder, in order to enhance the flexibility of the body, he had to do kicking and stretching training every night, it was really painful at first, and his body was sore, and it was easy to strain the meridians without the on-site guidance of the master.

Wang Xu gritted his teeth several times the week before, and when Zhuang Xiaodie helped him rub the potion, he saw that his calves were blue, and his heart was in tears. So much so that half a month later, he asked his master for two days off to record the last episode of the first season of "Run, Brother", and when he tore the name brand in the last environment, because the pain in the calf meridians had not fully recovered, he could only sit in the lounge and watch the game, and the name card was handed over to Wang Baoqiang.
