Chapter 61: Success doesn't have to be me
"Nie Shouren?"
Zhao Yan was stunned, "Hello, what's the matter?" ”
"Master Zhao, can I meet and talk to you?"
Nie Shouren's title made Zhao Yan feel quite fresh, and it was the first time someone called him Master Zhao.
"Yes."
Zhao Yan readily agreed.
He was also quite interested in this sudden appearance of the national arts master.
So the two quickly agreed on a place to meet.
More than thirty minutes later, in a tea room, Zhao Yan met Nie Shouren.
The other party's dress at this time was different from that in the gymnasium, he wore a white practice uniform and black mille-feuille shoes, coupled with a calm and quiet temperament, giving Zhao Yan the feeling of being a boxer during the Republic of China.
"Master Zhao."
After Nie Shouren saw Zhao Yan enter the house, he quickly got up and saluted him with his fists.
"Ah, Nie..... Hello, master. ”
Zhao Yan was not used to clenching his fists at the other party.
"Please be seated, please have tea."
Nie Shouren gestured to Zhao Yan.
After Zhao Yan sat down and took a sip of tea, Nie Shouren slowly spoke:
"I don't know what Master Zhao's mentorship is?"
"I practiced the kung fu of my family, and I learned Bajiquan from my grandfather since I was a child."
"I see, can I ask your grandfather's name?"
"Zhao Xianming."
"Zhao Xianming......"
Nie Shouren was thoughtful.
"Master Nie has heard of my grandfather?"
Zhao Yan asked curiously.
He actually wanted to know what his grandfather was like when he was young and what kind of stories he had, but unfortunately Zhao Xianming never told him this.
Nie Shouren hesitated for a moment and said:
"I just heard that many years ago, there was a Bajiquan master surnamed Zhao who had a big storm in the martial arts world of Cang Province, and he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Zhang family in Cang Province, and the two sides almost had to fight life and death, and finally was stopped by a senior."
"Cang Province Zhang family?"
This is the second time Zhao Yan has heard this name.
Previously, Master Yu Youshan once told him that at present, only the Zhang family in Cang Province has the complete content of the Longyin Iron Cloth Shirt in China.
The Zhang family in Cangxing Province is a martial arts family handed down from the Republic of China, and the ancestors have produced martial champions and generals!
Unlike Zhao Yan's own family, which has declined in martial arts, the Zhang family in Cangxing Province has always been an evergreen tree in the martial arts world.
Just talking about one position can make outsiders understand the status of the Zhang family:
He is currently the chairman of the National Wushu Association and the director of the Wushu Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and is a member of the Zhang family!
Zhao Yan didn't expect that his grandfather had a grudge with the Zhang family back then.
"It's a bit interesting, in the future, when the boxing skills are completed, I will go to Zhang's house to find the field for grandpa!"
Zhao Yan thought to himself.
He is now a big boxer who can play 'double tricks', and he feels that the Zhang family may not be able to find someone better than him.
Of course, in this day and age, people don't need to be more powerful than him.
So to get back on the field, unless Zhao Yan's fists are powerful to a certain extent.
"I studied under Han Dianguo, Teacher Han."
Nie Shouren took the initiative to say his mentorship.
It's a name that rings in the martial arts world and many other places!
However, Zhao Yan had never heard of this name, and he knew very little about the martial arts world.
"Master Nie, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
Zhao Yan asked.
He didn't like to go around the bend, so he asked directly.
Nie Shouren smiled slightly:
"In fact, I came to participate in this competition for only one purpose, which is to justify the name of traditional Chinese martial arts! I don't know, Master Zhao, is your purpose also this? ”
"Forehead ......"
Zhao was suspicious for a moment.
This was indeed his purpose at the beginning, but now the purpose is no longer pure, and his heart is more about how to complete real-world tasks.
"Even if it is for fame and profit, it is human nature, as long as Chinese martial arts are used in this process and the spirit of martial arts is promoted, our goal is the same!"
Nie Shouren continued.
"Over the years, the reputation of Chuanwu has become worse and worse, more and more people feel that Chuanwu can't fight, and many young people feel that these things handed down by their ancestors are fake, and those who teach Chuanwu are liars! I want to change this situation, but my power alone is limited after all, so I would like to invite Master Zhao to join me! ”
"What do you want to do when you join?"
"Continue to play on a higher platform, not only in China, but also abroad, so that the world can see the power of Chinese martial arts!"
Nie Shouren's eyes lit up, and his whole person seemed to be ignited, and he said to Zhao Yan impassionedly.
Without waiting for Zhao Yan to speak, what he said next surprised Zhao Yan even more:
"I have prepared a lot in advance for this, I have signed a contract with Longxiang Fighting Club, prepared a professional enough publicity team, and I have also contacted the official team of the UFC, if it goes well, I will go to the UFC soon! If you'd like to come over, I can get my team to focus future advocacy on you! I can help you! ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Yan's eyes widened, "Why?" You've worked so hard to prepare, why do you want to fulfill me? ”
He really didn't understand.
Nie Shouren looked at him and smiled very calmly:
"I'm thirty-four years old this year, and you're only nineteen, and you have a bigger future than I do, and you're more convincing. The most important thing is that your personal image is better than mine, and you are more suitable to be a star than me! ”
"Ah, this ......"
Zhao Yan never expected that it would be this reason, because he was handsome enough......
"Hahaha, don't underestimate this, I have actually carefully studied many cases, and I really understand a truth: it is better to fight hard than to fight beautifully!"
Nie Shouren said with a smile, "What we have to do is to better promote Chinese martial arts, and the way of propaganda or commercial operation may even be more important than our own strength." And you, you're the most suitable target I've seen so far! ”
"But...... So what do you do? Have you worked so hard to be willing to live under others? Don't you want to be the brightest one? ”
Zhao Yan looked at Nie Shouren puzzled.
Nie Shouren smiled indifferently:
"Of course I want to, but there is a saying that my teachers often talk about, and I have heard it many times, and I am gradually willing to believe in this truth."
"What?"
"It doesn't have to be me!"
“......”
Zhao Yan felt that Nie Shouren, who was sitting opposite, seemed to be glowing at the moment!
"So, Master Zhao, would you like to join us?"
Nie Shouren looked at Zhao Yan with a sincere expression.
"I ......"
Zhao Yan opened his mouth, and finally shook his head bitterly.
"I'm sorry, I can't join you."
"Why?"
Nie Shouren frowned slightly, "If you have any conditions, you can mention it, I will definitely try my best to satisfy you!" ”
Zhao Yan waved his hand: "It's not a matter of conditions. ”
He has to participate in missions in the world of "Gunfire", he wants to enter "Special Warfare Elite" to gain experience, and he has to concentrate on martial arts training every day...... He had so much to do that he didn't have the extra time and energy to preach martial arts with Nie Shouren.
Whether it's going to a foreign country to play a game, or running around to promote, you may also have to shoot commercials, make movies, participate in interviews, participate in variety shows, and so on..... Zhao Yan didn't have time to do this.
He wants to fight for himself, he wants to go to the extraordinary!
From the moment he was chosen by the world of Gunfire, none of this was for him.
