The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The golden sun in the sky looks like an uncooked boiled egg, the bright yellow color looks delicious and attractive against the light blue sky background, slowly climbing up bit by bit, Like the second hand of a watch, it is approaching the mark of twelve o'clock noon.

However, the towering and jagged skyline of New York is like the steps of Tianmen Mountain. No matter how you climb, no matter how you move forward, there is no end in sight. I was tired, out of breath, and the sunlight that fell down became weak, and in a blink of an eye, I was submerged in the bustling traffic of the city.

The scattered and criss-crossed alleys in the lower Manhattan/city area are like a giant roaming on the calm sea. With open arms and legs, lazily bathing in the sun, enjoying a moment of tranquility in the morning, one after another There was the sound of fish and shrimp playing in the sea, full of vigor and vitality.

Andrew Garfield looked at the surrounding streets with curious eyes. The stalls on both sides of the street were being withdrawn, with all kinds of gadgets from the old Shanghai/Shanghai period, dressing boxes, dinner bags, hair dryers, etc. Hairpins, rattles, music boxes, etc., are dazzling; next to a middle-aged man in a neat suit, who is bargaining, holding a red plastic bag in his hand, unwilling to let go. It contains a bag of vegetables or meat, which can't be seen clearly. The dilapidated and mottled buildings look like slums, but the carved red columns, the raised eaves of the cross-ridge roof, and the square-shaped glass windows are full of an indescribable taste.

In a trance, Andrew seemed to have entered the world of "Doctor Who", traveled through time and space, and entered another completely different universe, his line of sight was simply too busy.

Hey, I stepped on a pool of water stains under my feet, the muddy sewage splashed, wet the trousers, and the canvas shoes under my feet were also wet, which made Andrew jump up subconsciously, trying to avoid it. I stepped on another puddle of mud, and the sticky feeling spread on the soles of my feet, which was really uncomfortable.

"Andrew." There was a greeting from the front, and Armando-arcon beckoned, motioning for Andrew to follow quickly.

Andrew didn't care about his shoes, he trotted all the way to catch up. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the busyness and noise of the street corner, and a smell of sea fish rushed to his face. The strong and pungent smell made people frown in conditioned reflex. , I can't wait to pinch my nose, turn around and run away, it's like a biochemical weapon. But Andrew also showed curiosity, and looked over, but only had time to catch a glimpse of a fragment of the picture, like an open-air seafood market, and his footsteps dragged the scene in his sight into a long, narrow and steep staircase.

This is an ordinary small door. There is a black plaque hanging on the door, with the characters of dragon flying and phoenix written on it. Andrew can't understand it at all, and can only vaguely recognize that it is four characters. Follow Armando's footsteps into the small door, climb the steps, and come to the second floor, a spacious space appears in sight.

On the right is a large bright window, on the left is a whole mirror with some cushions scattered in the middle, but there is nothing else. On the right side, there are two people squatting; then there is a person in front of the left who is mopping the floor, deserted, not lively at all. It looks a bit like a ballet classroom, but it's not very well equipped.

"Armando?" Andrew asked curiously, "Isn't it Chinese Kung Fu? Why does this look like a taekwondo classroom?"

"Martial arts is martial arts, and taekwondo is taekwondo. These are two completely different things. Taekwondo is now more like a sport, and has no practical significance, and there is no need to learn at all." Armando briefly introduced that Andrew seemed to understand Nodding incomprehensibly.

He is a personal trainer and is mainly an authority on physical fitness, conditioning, fitness and more. But at the same time, he has also traveled to Asia many times to learn martial arts, and has developed a strong interest in it. However, martial arts requires years of training and perseverance, and it is impossible to reach the top with any laziness. This is not his main job, but only as an interest development.

For Westerners, the East is always mysterious. They cannot distinguish the details of oriental culture. It is a common thing to wear a crown and wear it. They can't even tell the difference between India and Indonesia, and they can't find the location of North Korea and South Korea. Therefore, asking them to distinguish between martial arts and taekwondo is really difficult for a strong man. However, Armando would not make such a mistake.

Andrew has been studying with Armando for the past five months in order to film "The Extraordinary Spider-Man". In addition, he has also learned many skills such as skateboarding, parkour, trampoline, basketball, gymnastics, etc. This time, Armando made a special trip to visit the martial arts hall with Andrew, just to learn martial arts in the next two months.

"Let me go." A voice suddenly came from the left hand. Both Andrew and Armando were startled and cast their gazes. Only then did they see that the young man who was mopping the floor had approached them at some point. There were no footsteps. He was leaning on a long mop in his hand, with a lazy and helpless expression on his face, "Please put the soles of your feet on the mop and wipe them clean, okay?"

The words were polite, but the tone was drawn-out, listless, and sounded unfriendly at all.

However, Andrew and Armando didn't care, they hurried forward and wiped the soles of their feet clean. Andrew looked at his dirty canvas shoes and showed a jerky and apologetic smile, "Sorry."

The young man did not answer, but explained directly, "If you come to learn martial arts, go there and squat; if you come to find friends, there is a waiting area at the door; if you come to consult, there is a poster at the door on the first floor."

After that, the young man lowered his head again and began to mop the floor honestly.

Andrew blinked, obviously not figuring out what was going on, and cast his eyes towards Armando.

Armando was also a little flustered. He was also introduced by a friend, and he was not very clear about the situation. I just heard that this "Liu's Martial Arts Hall" is a hidden master in Manhattan's Chinatown.

In terms of reputation, there are quite a few martial arts gyms in Chinatown that learn Chinese martial arts. The two most prosperous ones are even more crowded. The martial arts gyms can maintain a state of 20 or 30 people studying all year round; but Armando knows that those They are all just pretentious, in order to satisfy people's curiosity, or in other words, in order to meet the market demand, just like a tourist attraction, a group of people join in the fun. If you want to learn the real thing, you not only need to avoid crowds, but also need introductions from acquaintances.

"Liu's martial arts hall" is not well-known, but Armando's friends are full of praise. His original words are "even a little apprentice is hidden."

"Excuse me, is Master Liu here?" Armando tried to communicate and found the master here directly.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" started filming two weeks ago, and Andrew really doesn't have much time, so he can only take a little time every day to come over for training and meet more requirements from the crew as much as possible. Therefore, Armando needs to communicate face-to-face with the master to see if he can find a more suitable arrangement time.

The young man stopped, turned around and looked at Andrew and Armando, "The first rule of Liu's martial arts hall, come to learn martial arts or visit a master, either squat on the side for thirty minutes, or challenge martial arts. A person in the hall, after passing the customs, we will sit down and talk slowly."

What's the rule?

Andrew only felt that his head was full of question marks, but Armando was not surprised. When he traveled in China before, he had seen even more strange requirements. Armando turned his head to look at Andrew, "What do you think?" They only had three hours this morning, and Andrew needed to go back to the rehearsal in the afternoon. Tomorrow, he was going to shoot the first scene in front of the green screen.

Andrew doesn't know why. According to his previous character, he was very willing to squat beside him for 30 minutes. But today is really too tight. Andrew thought about it carefully. In the past five months, he has received all kinds of training. He cannot be said to be a martial arts master, but he is no longer a rookie, dealing with ordinary fights. , there should be no problem. He has confidence.

"Excuse me, if I am challenged, who am I going to fight against?" If it is against someone who has been practicing martial arts for many years, even if it is an apprentice, Andrew will inevitably be a little hesitant.

For Westerners, Chinese Kung Fu is not only mysterious, but also esoteric. The reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was able to swept thousands of troops in the Western world and maintained the highest box office record for foreign-language films in North America is because Li/An captured the martial arts world in the eyes of Westerners.

The young man looked at Andrew up and down, and curled his lips, "Just with those new amateurs."

Such a scene looks really funny. A young man with a mop looks like a cleaner. He can't even identify whether the other party is a staff member of the martial arts hall or an apprentice, but Andrew and Armando are in him. receive instructions in front of .

However, the young man seemed to be content. He turned to look at the two who were squatting, and thought for a while, "You, you are talking about you, come over here." These thoughtless words were effective. Now, one of them stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked over, the young man turned his head to look at Andrew, "You can compete with him, he has been here for two weeks, and he has been squatting all the time. Ma Bu, I started learning piling four days ago, not even the basics. You two fight each other, if you can knock him down three times, I will ask the master to come out."

Knock down three times? A newbie who has only been learning for two weeks?

Andrew was relieved, and his strong confidence made him straighten his waist and raise his chest, but in the next second, he was stunned. Looking at the person in front of him, his pupils were getting bigger and bigger, his face full of expression. The astonishment could not be concealed, "This...that..." He looked at Armando, then at the young man, trying to find an answer, but Armando was puzzled, the young man was calm, only Andrew was alone in shock.

In this short period of time, the other party walked in front of him, "Good morning, I'm Renly, please advise."
