The next day, early in the morning, a ray of sunlight shone on the window, Wang Xu woke up, the quality of sleep was not bad, and he was in good spirits today.

At 8 o'clock sharp, Tony Jia arrived, the international kung fu superstar dressed in a very ordinary denim casual outfit, and his complexion was a healthy wheat color. In order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Tony Jia invited Wang Xuhe to ask the beast to eat Thailand's breakfast.

Breakfast in Thailand is rich in curry rice, Thai rice noodles, omelette, seafood soup, vegetable salad, fresh juice/fruit tea, etc., as well as Western-style sandwiches. Wang Xu also ate a sweet and spicy pork, which tasted very good with rice.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Tony Jia accompanied Wang Xu and the beast to the streets and alleys of Bangkok. All three were dressed in civilian clothes and hats, and instead of riding in a car, they walked all the way, and several bodyguards also wore civilian clothes and followed several meters away.

A few people turned into an alley in an urban village. Many goods with local ethnic characteristics are dizzying, Wang Xu bought a pu fan with great interest, and invited everyone to drink the kind of freshly squeezed juice sold on the street, pushing a cart.

After passing through a small alley, Wang Xu suddenly found that an alley less than 2 kilometers long in front of him was full of people, many people, including locals, and tourists from other places in a pile of what they were watching.

It turned out that there were five or six boxing gyms on this street, and the interesting thing was that they were fighting in the open air outside.

The competition venue is simple, so a circle with a diameter of more than 10 meters is pulled with hemp rope, which is covered with a thick layer of sand, and the two boxers compete in it, surrounded by a large number of tourists waving and shouting. The gym also offers free drinks to visitors, and they can also go upstairs to sit in a private seat.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, boxing matches here are often linked to betting, and the boxing gym relies on earning tourists' gambling money, often with tens of thousands of profits after a fight. It's the kind of street fight, where the high-end gym wins and loses millions in a night.

"Are they just racing on the streets?". Seeing this scene, Wang Xu asked curiously.

"Yes." "Muay Thai is very popular in our country, and it can be said that it is no longer a simple boxing, but a kind of fitness and entertainment for ordinary people. You can see this kind of street boxing scene in many cities, and the more suburban it is, the more common it is in the alleys. It is even more common if you go to the countryside, where children generally start boxing at the age of three. ”

Boxing in Thailand is a national sport just like mahjong in the country, and it is no wonder that Muay Thai is famous all over the world.

Tony Jia saw that Wang Xu was interested in Muay Thai and introduced some Muay Thai knowledge. Learning Muay Thai is not difficult, and a person without any foundation will be able to get started with just a few days of practice. The basic moves of Muay Thai are very simple, but they are quite practical because they can be used to defeat the enemy. With just your elbows and knees, you can defeat your enemies in one clean move.

"Practicing Muay Thai is quite physically demanding. It can not only slim down, but also defend yourself, killing two birds with one stone. Tony Jia smiled: "Wang Xu, you might as well learn it." ”

Wang Xu shook his head and said, "I heard that practicing Muay Thai is very hard, and it takes more than ten years of unremitting efforts. ”

"Hehe, you just learn some basic movements to strengthen your body. It's simple and takes less than 20 minutes to learn. Tonyja laughed, "Of course. Hard elbows and knees are the foundation of Muay Thai's victory, and there are no shortcuts, only through boring practice year after year. ”

"A professional Muay Thai fighter has been practicing since he was a child." Speaking of this, Tony Jia sighed a little proudly and a little, and said, "I started boxing at the age of two. When I was a child, it was not out of love, but because my family was poor, and practicing boxing was a way out. ”

"Muay Thai comes with money quickly, money comes easily. So a lot of kids grow up to be professional boxers and fight for money. ”

"However, it is not so easy to eat by boxing. In addition to practicing boxing every day. I also have to practice being beaten repeatedly, because standing in the ring will inevitably be beaten, and if you don't have a strong ability to resist blows, how can you talk about knocking down the opponent? ”

Wang Xu experienced the difficulties of professional Muay Thai fighters from a few simple words from Tony Jia, the intensity of training, coupled with some inevitable injuries, the vast majority of professional fighters are no longer suitable to compete in the competition by the time they are about 30 years old.

In Thailand, there is a saying that "ten men, nine boxers", and there are tens of thousands of registered professional boxers in the country. A boxer like this who is not registered on the street is even more like a carp crossing the river.

At this time, a few people walked into a boxing gym, went upstairs to a private seat by the window and sat down, and soon a waiter sent melon and fruit refreshments, as well as a betting slip.

The waiter, speaking fluent English, introduced them to the information of the two boxers for the next fight, as well as the odds of winning or losing. Now Wang Xu understands a little bit why Muay Thai is integrated into the life and entertainment of Thai people, and it should be inseparable from this habit of gambling on boxing.

Following the local customs, Wang Xu and the beast each bet 500 yuan to play a little, and they didn't care if they won or lost. After a while, Wang Xu and Tony Jia talked about business.

Tony Jia agreed to join "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", maybe everyone talked about it, when it came to salary, he took the initiative to lower, and the final salary was 8 million US dollars, equivalent to about 50 million yuan.

Tony Jia is the third world-class kung fu superstar in Asia after Chen Long and Li Lianjie, and his fame in Asia is even louder than Donnie Yen. He took over the Hollywood blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" this year, and his salary was $10 million, so $8 million is not expensive.

"The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" can invite Tony Jia, the big Buddha, the peak showdown between China and Thailand, such a gimmick has enough box office attraction, I believe that domestic audiences will also enter the cinema for posters like "Wu Jing vs Tony Jia", now it depends on how Wang Xu made the movie well.

The two sides signed a contract that night, Tony Jia is the biggest killer of the film, Wang Xu will not reveal it until the end, he gave a gag order, only Wu Jing, called the beast, and a few people such as Brother Chen Long and several screenwriters know, other actors including Zhao Rongrong, baby, etc. don't know who he invited to Thailand.

When Wu Jing learned on the phone that he had really invited Tony Jia, he was extremely excited and said, "Great, I have long been looking forward to fighting against Tony Jia, but I have never had the opportunity, I have some expectations when I think about it, I knew that I should go with you." ”

Wang Xu understands Wu Jing's feelings, this is a kind of sympathy, or joy to see the hunt, just like a top game master rarely meets another top master.

Wu Jing then asked, "You mentioned that I didn't, did Tony Jia watch my movie?" ”

"Angkor, you are much more famous than me." Wang Xu smiled: "Tony Jia knows you very well, and has seen your "Slaying the Wolf" and "Wolf Teeth", and praises you. ”

"Don't make me happy?"

"How come, I'm so honest, I also recommend him to watch your "I Am a Special Soldier".

Wu Jing was very happy after hearing this, and he was very much looking forward to playing against Tony Jia, so he pushed down all the announcements and devoted himself to training, striving to adjust his condition to the peak. (To be continued......)
