When he arrived at Zhonghuo Village the next night, the boss who greeted Sun Peng had a smile on his face.

In the past year, Sun Peng and Ma Boyuan have come here several times, almost just to use Zhonghuozhuang as a fixed place for the two to eat hot pot together, which can make the boss happy. To tell the truth, the moment he waited at the door of the store until Sun Peng arrived, the boss really wanted to shout: "Welcome to Zhonghuo Village, please come to Zhonghuozhuang!" ”

It's a pity, it's just a matter of thinking about it.

Not only could he not shout loudly, but he even had to lead Sun Peng, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, to walk inside in a low-key manner, and quietly passed through the hall.

The hot pot restaurant is always lively.

No one will notice a new guest who has just arrived, let alone that the guest has been brought in by the owner himself. So after arriving at the door of the box smoothly, Sun Peng politely said to the boss: "Thank you, I'll just go in by myself, you can get busy!" ”

"Uh......"

Rubbing his hands, the boss looked embarrassed.

He really wanted to open his mouth and ask Sun Peng to sign a sign and leave a group photo or something, and then hang it on the wall of his store, which was absolutely eye-catching. But when I think of the photo of Mr. Lao Bai, it seems that it has never appeared in any restaurant, and this mouth never opens. And more importantly, Ma Boyuan reminded him that once he opened his mouth, even if he succeeded, Lao Bai might not come to Zhonghuo Village to eat hot pot in the future.

"What, what's wrong?"

"No, no, Mr. Sun, please come in!"

Blinking his eyes and making up his mind, the boss smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

Nodding, Sun Peng pushed open the door of the box, and then a wave of heat suddenly hit his face. Before he could see the person clearly, he smiled and said, "Yo, I'm going to eat before I arrive?" ”

"What's the start of eating? This pot has just been put on! ”

Seeing Sun Peng coming in, Ma Boyuan hurriedly got up and greeted, "Hurry up, come here...... You said you would be there on the phone, but we waited at least 20 minutes! ”

"Sorry, the last two red lights are too long."

While taking off his hat and sunglasses, Sun Peng apologized, and at the same time found that there were two other people in the room besides Ma Boyuan. After looking closely, Sun Peng recognized one of them, it was Yang Ming, a movie star who has just become popular in recent years, thirty-eight or nineteen years old, which can be regarded as a late bloomer; And another middle-aged man who was older than him, about forty-six or seventeen years old, had never seen him.

Sun Peng was not surprised that Ma Boyuan came with two friends.

This old boy often does this kind of thing, and from time to time he introduces Sun Peng to a few friends. However, before bringing it, Ma Boyuan would make it clear to these friends that everyone just knew each other, and it was absolutely forbidden to ask Sun Peng for scripts, songs, or anything, so he never cared.

Anyway, eating hot pot is such a thing, and it doesn't mean anything for the two of them, right?

Although he recognized Yang Ming, the two had never met after all, so Ma Boyuan still had to introduce them to him. Another middle-aged man named Miao Hai is just a director, a variety show director of Deep Blue Satellite TV.

When the two saw Sun Peng, they were naturally polite for a while.

"Oh, we just came back from recording the show."

After pouring Sun Peng a glass of cold beer first, Ma Boyuan said with a smile: "As a result, these two guys said that they wanted to know you, and I thought about it that our brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so it would be good to go out for a hot pot together." ”

"Record a show? What program? ”

Reaching out to take the cup handed over by Ma Boyuan, Sun Peng asked casually.

Lao Ma is more straightforward, if he is really a good friend, he is always embarrassed to refuse when people ask for something or something. Fortunately, the person who can let him see in his eyes is generally not hated by Sun Peng, so he naturally doesn't care.

"A variety show is called "Roaming in the Four Seas".

While pouring wine for the other two, Ma Boyuan explained: "It's a travel variety show, it's just a few celebrities running around the world to play, setting up some small obstacles on the road, and completing some tasks or something...... Haha, it's kind of interesting to be honest. ”

Hearing Ma Boyuan say this, Sun Peng was a little surprised: "Are you fixed, or do you just star in one or two episodes?" ”

"It's not fixed, it's two periods."

Shaking his head, Ma Boyuan finally poured beer into his cup, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's three days, and I followed them to Hokkaido, Japan, and I went to the hot springs and had a big meal, and I still have money to get in the end...... Ha ha! ”

In Ma Boyuan's laughter, Yang Ming followed suit, while the director Miao Hai had a slightly embarrassed expression.

However, after listening to the conversation between Sun Peng and Ma Boyuan, the two of them secretly smacked their tongues, and looked at Lao Ma with the wrong eyes - they had long heard that Lao Bai's best friend in the circle was Ma Boyuan, but many people didn't believe it, after all, the two really didn't cooperate much, and they didn't interact as much as Chen Feifei in places like Weibo. But now looking at the way people talk and laugh, no one will doubt this anymore.

Besides, how many people can make an appointment with Lao Bai with a phone call?

Sun Peng and Ma Boyuan naturally didn't know what the two of them thought, of course, even if they knew, they would laugh it off at most. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Lao Bai is the top boss in the circle, and he can hold up a superstar in the international music or film industry with a raise of his hand, but for Ma Boyuan, this guy is just a friend who can talk to him. In Sun Peng's words, this guy is a typical "unambitious", he is already very satisfied with his current self, and he never thought of being as popular all over the world as Luo Cheng or Chen Feifei......

Like the friends brought by Ma Boyuan in the past, Yang Ming and Miao Hai didn't talk too much about Sun Peng or anything, and even the topics rarely talked about movies or songs. But after all, everyone is in the circle, and it is inevitable to talk about similar topics when they talk about it.

Especially Miao Hai, the director of the variety show, because he knew that the program team could not invite a great god like Lao Bai, so he had a lot less scruples without desire, and asked with a smile halfway through eating: "Teacher Lao Bai, I really like a few of your movies, especially the recent "Hero", which simply rekindled my interest in costume blockbusters...... Will you make a similar film in the future? ”

"What's next? Without. ”

There was no hesitation, Sun Peng, whose face was already slightly red after drinking some beer, shook his head with a smile and said: "For the time being, I don't plan to continue making action movies, I plan to settle down well, and then change my taste." ”

Starting from "Dragon Gate Inn", to "Kill Bill" and "League of Assassins", and then to "Heroes", Sun Peng's four movies actually went around and around, and the word "martial arts" was always inseparable.

In "League of Assassins", he changed the "special function" of Hollywood to martial arts, and in "Kill Bill", although almost all of them are the essence of Quentin's original version, after the director became Sun Peng, he was naturally put on the hat of martial arts......

After these four movies, Sun Peng's martial arts movie has ended.

The most mature and classic Hong Kong-style martial arts "Dragon Gate Inn", the blockbuster martial arts "Hero" that perfectly combines the grand scenes, the cult martial arts "Kill Bill" that takes an alternative route, and the modern martial arts "Assassins League" wrapped in fashionable coats, with the cognition of a semi-layman, Sun Peng feels that he has finished expressing the "martial arts" he wants to express.

How the genre will go next and where it will go depends on the filmmakers of this world.

Sun Peng never felt that he could carry forward martial arts movies on his own, even if he moved Hong Kong's most classic films two or three times a year, because of the restrictions of the times, I am afraid it will be difficult for the audience to buy it. To put it bluntly, the genre of "Dragon Gate Inn" can be seen as fresh, because of the lack of big scenes and cool special effects shots, if you shoot too much, the audience will soon get tired of it.

Therefore, whether martial arts can become popular can only depend on the imagination of other filmmakers.

And Sun Peng also believes in them, after all, the costume films in this world are too powerful, and the confidence of modern action movies is also very strong, as long as the filmmakers are willing to introduce and learn from the "martial arts" brought by Sun Peng, who said that they can't reproduce the glory of Hong Kong martial arts movies on the earth?

Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see......
