Chapter 668

The golden sun looks like a boiled egg that has not yet been cooked. The light yellow color is delicious and attractive under the light blue sky background. It climbs up slowly bit by bit, just like the second hand of a watch, approaching the scale of noon.

However, the towering and uneven skyline of New York is just like the steps of Tianmen Mountain. No matter how you climb and how you advance, you can never see the end. The big boiled egg starts to get tired and pant, and the sunlight becomes weak. In a moment, it is submerged in the bustling traffic of the city.

The well arranged and crisscrossed alleys in lower Manhattan are like giant wandering on the calm sea. With open arms and legs, they lazily bathe in the sun and enjoy a moment of peace in the early morning. The sound of fish and shrimp playing in the sea is heard one after another, full of vigor and vitality.

Andrew Garfield's eyes were full of curiosity and looked around the streets. On both sides of the street, there were many kinds of old Shanghai gadgets, such as dressing boxes, dinner bags, hairpins, rattles, music boxes and so on; Next to him, a middle-aged man in a stiff suit was bargaining. He was holding a red plastic bag in his hand and was unwilling to let go. It contained a bag of vegetables or meat. He could not see clearly; The dilapidated buildings look like slums, but the carved red pillars, the raised eaves of the cross ridge roof, and the square glass windows are full of an indescribable flavor.

In a trance, Andrew seems to have entered the world of "doctor mystery", shuttling through time and space, and entered another completely different universe. His sight is not busy at all.

Baji, he stepped on a pool of water stains under his feet. The muddy sewage splashed up and wet his trousers. The canvas shoes under his feet were also wet. This made Andrew jump up subconsciously and try to avoid it. He didn't expect to step on another pool of mud when he landed. The sticky feeling spread on his feet, which was really uncomfortable.

"Andrew." There was a call ahead, and Armando Alarcon beckoned Andrew to follow.

Andrew couldn't take care of his shoes any more. He ran all the way to catch up with him. He could see the busy and noisy street corner with a smell of sea. The strong and pungent smell made people crinkle their brows reflexively. He wanted to hold his nose and turn around to escape. It was almost like a biological weapon. But Andrew also showed curiosity. He peered into the past, only to catch a glimpse of a piece of the picture, such as the open-air seafood market. His feet dragged the view into a long and steep staircase.

It was an ordinary little door. There was a black plaque on the door, which was written in Chinese characters. Andrew could not understand it at all. He could only vaguely recognize that it was four characters. Follow Amando's steps into the small door, step up and come to the second floor, a spacious space appeared in the line of sight.

There is a big bright window on the right and a whole mirror on the left. There are some cushions scattered in the middle. There is nothing else. On the right, there are two people squatting; Then there was a man in front of the left mopping the floor, cold and quiet, not lively at all. It looks like a ballet classroom, but it's not fully equipped.

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

"Wushu is Wushu, taekwondo is Taekwondo. These are two very different things. Taekwondo is more like a sport now. It has no practical significance. There is no need to learn. " Amando simply introduced that Andrew nodded.

He is a personal trainer, mainly an authority on physical fitness, fitness and so on. But at the same time, he also went to Asia many times to study martial arts, and had a strong interest in it. However, martial arts requires years of practice and persistence, and it is impossible for him to reach the top by being lazy. This is not his main job, just as an interest development.

For westerners, the East is always mysterious. They can't distinguish the details of the oriental culture. It's a common occurrence that 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, it's hard to ask them to distinguish martial arts from Taekwondo. However, Amando would not make such a mistake.

Andrew has been following Amando for the past five months in order to shoot "extraordinary Spider Man". In addition, he has also learned skateboarding, parkour, trampoline, basketball, gymnastics and many other skills. This time, Armando took Andrew to visit the martial arts museum, just to learn martial arts in the next two months.

"Get out of the way." Suddenly, a voice came from his left side. Andrew and Amando were startled and cast their eyes. Then they saw that the young man was mopping the floor. He didn't know when he was near them. There was no sound of footsteps. He was leaning on a long mop in his hand, with a lazy and helpless expression on his face. "Please put your foot on the mop and wipe it clean, OK?"

The words are very polite, but the tone is sluggish, listless and unfriendly.

But Andrew and Amando didn't care. They quickly stepped forward and wiped the soles of their feet. Andrew looked at his dirty canvas shoes and showed an astringent and apologetic smile, "sorry."

Instead of answering, the young man explained directly, "those who come here to learn martial arts, go there and squat on horse steps; There is a waiting area at the door for those who come to find friends; Come to consult, there is a poster at the door of the first floor After that, the young man lowered his head again and began to mop the floor honestly.

Andrew blinked. He didn't know what was going on. He looked at Amando.

Amando was also a little flustered. He was introduced by his friends and didn't know the situation very well. I just heard that this "Liu's martial arts school" is a hidden master in Manhattan's Chinatown.

In terms of fame, there are many martial arts schools learning Chinese martial arts in Chinatown. The most prosperous two schools are full of families, with 20 or 30 people learning all the year round; However, Amando knows that those are just airs. In order to satisfy people's curiosity, or to meet the market demand, they are just like a tourist resort, with a group of people taking part in the fun. If you want to learn something real, you need not only to avoid the crowd, but also acquaintances.

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

"Excuse me, is master Liu in?" Amando tried to communicate and find the master directly.

"Extraordinary Spider Man" started shooting two weeks ago. Andrew doesn't have much time. He can only spare a little time every day for training to meet more requirements of the crew. Therefore, Amando needs to communicate with his master face to face to see if he can find a more suitable time.

The young man stopped, turned and looked at Andrew and Amando, "the first rule of Liu's martial arts school is to come to learn martial arts or visit the master, or squat for 30 minutes, or challenge a person in the martial arts school. After passing the test, we can sit down and talk slowly."

What's the rule?

Andrew was full of question marks, but Amando was not surprised. When he traveled in China before, he had seen even more strange requirements. Amando turned to Andrew. "What do you think?" They only have three hours this morning, and Andrew needs to go back to rehearsal in the afternoon to shoot the first gawaia scene in front of the green screen tomorrow.

Andrew didn't know why. According to his previous character, he is very willing to squat beside the horse for 30 minutes. But today's time is too tight. Andrew thought about it carefully. In the past five months, he has received all kinds of training. He can't be said to be a martial arts expert, but he is no longer a rookie. He should have no problem in dealing with ordinary fights. He has confidence.

"If it's a challenge, who am I going to play against?" If it's a fight with someone who has been practicing martial arts for many years, even an apprentice, Andrew will inevitably be hesitant.

For westerners, Chinese Kung Fu is not only mysterious, but also profound. It is omnipotent“ The reason why "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" has been able to wipe out thousands of troops in the western world, and has maintained the highest box office record of foreign language movies in North America so far is that Ang Lee has shot the martial arts world in the eyes of Westerners.

The young man looked Andrew up and down and said, "just with the new amateurs."

This scene looks funny. A young man with a mop looks like a cleaner. He can't even tell if he is a member of the martial arts school or an apprentice. However, Andrew and Amando receive instructions in front of him.

But the young man was happy, turned and looked at the two squatting horses, thought, "you, that's you. Come here." One of them stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and came over. The young man turned his head and looked at Andrew. "You can compete with him. He has been squatting for two weeks. He started to learn piling four days ago, and he doesn't even have the foundation. You two fight each other. If you can knock him down three times, I'll ask the master to come out. "

Three knocks? A novice who only studied for two weeks?

Andrew put down his heart, and his strong confidence made him straighten his waist and raise his head. But the next second, he was stunned. Looking at the person in front of him, his pupils became bigger and bigger. His face was stunned. "This... That..." he looked at Amando and the young man, trying to find an answer, but Amando was puzzled, The young man was calm, and Andrew was the only one in shock.

In this short period of time, the other side came to the front, "good morning, I'm lanli, please advise."
