The straight man in the entertainment circle - Chapter 609

c607 Penetrate inside the enemy

Lin Li was resting at home that day. Yuan Xiaodong suddenly broke into Lin Li’s room with his mobile phone. With an angry look on his face, he shouted: “Lin Li, look.”

As he said this, Yuan Xiaodong put his cell phone in front of Lin Li.

Yuan Xiaodong has the habit of watching Douyin on weekdays. Because of Douyin’s algorithm, all the videos pushed to him are martial arts videos, which he likes to watch even if he has nothing to do.

At this time, what Yuan Xiaodong showed Lin Li was a video of a battle with the title: Magnificent Chinese Martial Arts! Master Yan Fangfang performs Tai Chi Push Hands, which is amazingly powerful!

In the middle of the video, there is an old woman in her fifties, with a bloated figure and wearing a red training uniform. She must be named Yan Fangfang.

She was surrounded by twenty or thirty young people, both men and women, wearing white practice uniforms.

At this time, the video was playing a young man putting his hand on Yan Fangfang’s arm. Yan Fangfang gently moved his hand. The young man suddenly jumped up and down as if he was electrocuted. It was extremely funny. At this time, Yan Fangfang gave a gentle push. The young man suddenly stepped back more than ten meters and was supported by others before he could stand still.

Then the people around burst into applause, and Yan Fangfang waved her hands, looking nonchalant.

Then another young man stepped forward and reached out to push Yan Fangfang. Yan Fangfang lightly hit the back of his hand. The man placed his hands on the ground and danced non-stop with his feet, looking like a street dancer.

In the end, it was even more exciting. More than a dozen young people gathered in a circle and stretched out their hands to put on Yan Fangfang’s shoulders, back and palms.

Yan Fangfang trembled, and the group of people jumped around and scattered as if they had been exploded.

Everyone’s performance is different. Some step back in small steps, some keep spinning and jumping, and some roll on the spot several times and then calm down, look around, pretending not to know where they are. Looks amazing!

This video is quite popular, with more than 3 million likes and more than 30,000 comments.

When Lin Li saw this, he couldn’t help laughing: “Hahaha, these people are quite funny.”

Yuan Xiaodong immediately put away his cell phone and shouted: “Is that funny? Thank you for making me laugh. I’m so angry!”

“What’s so angry about this?” Lin Li said.

Yuan Xiaodong said: “Do you know who Yan Fangfang is?”

“who?”

“I am the vice chairman of the Tai Chi Association under the Nanhe Province Wushu Association! I am also one of the judges of the National Wushu Exhibition Competition!” Yuan Xiaodong said angrily.

Lin Li was stunned for a moment and asked, “How do you know so clearly?”

Yuan Xiaodong sneered and said: “Why don’t I know? When I entered the master’s school, I often heard my senior brothers talk about this person.”

Lin Li became curious and asked, “What do your senior brothers say about her?”

“Yes, the senior brothers said that twenty years ago, this person was pestering my master to ask him to accept her as his apprentice. She also came to my master’s house, took money, cried and said how much she liked martial arts. If anything, you just want to be my senior sister.”

“My master saw her acting exaggeratedly and didn’t let go. Later, the police intervened, but this guy didn’t give up. He came to the set where my master was working every now and then to harass me.”

“Fortunately, my master is very prestigious among the people. At that time, a group of people from the private sector went to this person’s company and warned her, so she didn’t dare to harass her.”

“But my senior brothers remember this person. Later, this person paid money to be the master of several martial arts associations. He probably also paid for it. Anyway, it is ridiculous to get to this status.”

After hearing what Yuan Xiaodong said, Lin Li also understood why he was angry.

If ordinary people were just having fun like this, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but Yan Fangfang is now a well-known figure in the world of Chinese martial arts. It would be a good thing for her to promote Chinese martial arts well and train her apprentices carefully.

But she was so grandstanding that even if she made others laugh, her status would damage the image of Chinese martial arts in everyone’s mind!

Lin Li originally thought this was a funny video of ordinary people, but he didn’t expect that this person was really a “master”? !

This is really not something to laugh about.

“This man is indeed quite hateful.”

“Isn’t that right? After the first trailer of “The Grandmaster” came out, many netizens became interested in martial arts. Yan Fangfang posted this video to hype herself up and recruit students for herself, but this insulted martial arts! ”

Yuan Xiaodong was filled with righteous indignation. In his heart, a martial arts fanatic, martial arts was noble and should not be tarnished.

Mythical martial arts and defiled martial arts are things that Yuan Xiaodong cannot tolerate.

“This kind of person should be nailed to the pillar of shame!”

This was the first time that Lin Li saw Yuan Xiaodong being so unfair. He also couldn’t stand Yan Fangfang, not because she insulted the national martial arts, but because she also insulted the entire audience.

Lin Li thought for a while, then smiled at Yuan Xiaodong and said, “Okay, then let’s find an opportunity to nail her to the pillar of shame.”

Yuan Xiaodong was stunned and asked: “What do you mean?”

Lin Li smiled mysteriously and said, “I have an idea.”

Yuan Xiaodong suddenly realized that Lin Li was very good at getting things done, and immediately said happily: “If you have any ideas, tell me quickly.”

Lin Li said unhurriedly: “I see that she has so many disciples and is so hyped about herself. She must be doing it to recruit more disciples and make money.”

Lin Li’s reasoning was naturally accurate. Yuan Xiaodong thought for a while and said, “It seems that Yan Fangfang has a martial arts school. What’s wrong?”

“Go and find out how you can become her disciple.”

Yuan Xiaodong was stunned and said, “You want to become her disciple? Are you out of your mind? Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”

Lin Li smiled and said, “This is called breaking into the enemy’s interior!”

Yuan Xiaodong understood something immediately, and suddenly said excitedly: “Tell me, what happens after you break into the interior?”

Lin Li told Yuan Xiaodong what he had just thought. After hearing this, Yuan Xiaodong burst into laughter and said, “Lin Li, you are so bad! But I like it! I’ll go and ask you right now. They don’t know me.” , but I know quite a few people.”

Lin Lidao: “I leave all the power to you.”

“Okay!” Yuan Xiaodong said happily.

…………

Yan Fangfang was very happy. Sitting with her disciples, she felt like she was being swayed by stars.

She was originally just an ordinary working girl. In order to escape her fate, she committed herself to marrying the factory owner.

Of course, she was not willing to just be the boss lady of a small factory. There was a movie “Shaolin” that was released that year, which aroused her interest. She felt that there was an opportunity for Chinese martial arts here.

So she spent a lot of money to become a disciple of a famous local master and made friends with many martial arts people. It didn’t take long for her to establish connections and wanted to become a disciple of Yuan Ping, but Yuan Ping severely rejected her.

Later, she spent money to become apprentices. Although she had a bad reputation, she relied on her gender advantage to build connections in the industry.

Later, she took the Chinese martial arts referee certificate herself and became one of the earliest female referees in the country.

Judges who perform martial arts routines such as Guoshu are extremely subjective. With power, Yan Fangfang began to become the target of others’ friendship.

She also relied on this identity to join the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and over the years she also became the vice president of the Tai Chi Association.

Naturally, Yan Fangfang has more and more apprentices, and has won many gold medals in national martial arts competitions. Of course, this is due to her as a master acting as a referee.

In the Chinese martial arts routine performance competition, because it is a niche, not many people pay attention to it. In many cases, it is just a political task, so the competition is not very rigorous. It is not uncommon for Yan Fangfang to be both a referee and a master.

Yan Fangfang was in a very good mood as she looked at the bunch of disciples here who had won national martial arts routine championships.

“How is the situation now with the video we released two days ago?” Yan Fangfang asked, taking a sip of Longjing tea on the coffee table.

Yan Fangfang’s eldest disciple Jin Yabo smiled and said: “Master, with the efforts of all our brothers and school students, our videos are now popular. Douyin has tens of millions of views, and we have several more Weibo fans.” Ten thousand.”

Another disciple said: “Yes, Master, you are also on the hot search.”

After hearing this, Yan Fangfang suddenly became interested and asked, “Oh? What’s the hot search?”

The hot search on Yan Fangfang is “Yan Fangfang hit a cow from a distance and knocked several people away”, which is full of ridicule for Yan Fangfang. However, she is old and doesn’t play much on Weibo, so she doesn’t know much about these things.

“Of course I am praising you for your martial arts skills, saying that you have profound Tai Chi skills!” Another apprentice said flatteringly.

The other disciples also nodded.

Yan Fangfang nodded with satisfaction and asked, “No one questions it?”

After all, Yan Fangfang is not a fool. Her performance is so exaggerated, how can she possibly convince the crowd?

“Yes… of course there are, but they are people who have never seen the world and don’t know how high the sky is.”

Yan Fangfang smiled disapprovingly. A bunch of fat was squeezed into one place on her bloated face.

“It’s good to be talented. Only when there is controversy can there be topics. Only then will our videos become popular and my reputation will spread far and wide!”

All the disciples present nodded in agreement. One disciple said: “The martial arts school has gained nearly a hundred students in the past two days.”

“Look, I just said it would be useful to make a video for publicity.” Yan Fangfang looked like she had a clever plan.

“Yes, yes, master’s vision is much higher than ours. This Douyin’s propaganda is really effective.”

“That’s a good shot by Master.”

“If you ask me, it’s because Master’s martial arts skills attract everyone’s attention that he becomes popular.”

Yan Fangfang glanced at the many disciples and said, “You also have merit.”

As the group of people were talking, someone suddenly burst into the door, panting, and it seemed that he ran all the way in.

The person who came in was Li Guangxian, the business manager of Yan Fangfang Martial Arts Communication and Culture Company.

Yan Fangfang had never seen him look so glum and asked, “What’s wrong, Manager Li? You’re in a panic.”

“Yeah, I don’t know how to knock on the door.” Yan Fangfang’s apprentice said displeased.

“Big news! Big event!”

Li Guangxian swallowed and was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted.

“What’s the big news? Are you trying to say that our master is on the hot search?”

“Hahaha, you knew it so early, and you are so ill-informed.”

“Yes, you are an incompetent manager!”

Li Guangxian shook his head desperately and said: “No, no, Lin Li, it’s Lin Li who wants to come to be my disciple!!”

Everyone in the audience was stunned. Jin Yabo asked: “What? Manager Li, please speak clearly!”

“I said, the big star Lin Li, his agency has seen our video and wants me to come here to become a teacher of Teacher Yan. The call just now confirmed that we checked the phone number of Lin Li’s entertainment company!” Li Guangxian’s voice sounded I couldn’t hide my excitement.

“Lin Li, is that Lin Li, the winner of “The Voice”?”

“Yes, that’s him. Do we in China have a second Lin Licheng?!”

This group of people were very surprised when they heard the news, and they all looked at Yan Fangfang.

Although Yan Fangfang didn’t care about the entertainment industry, she had heard of Lin Li’s name. She was ecstatic inside and pretended to be calm on her face.

“This Lin Li…why did he think of becoming my disciple?”

When Yan Fangfang asked, the disciples showed off their flattery skills again. These people had followed Yan Fangfang for a long time and had learned to tell lies. But in their hearts, this was just because they respected their teacher.

“No need to ask, I must have been impressed by Master’s style in the video.”

“Didn’t Lin Li act in Zhang Dasong’s movie? He must want to be coated with gold so that he can brag about it.”

“Entertainment stars all like to be popular. I see, he is here just to be popular with Master.”

“I think he wants to join his master and get a title like martial arts champion to brag about.”

“If the master accepts him, he will be able to brag about it in the future. Isn’t Yang Jun also a disciple of Xu Bo? Xu Bo is not as good as the master.”

Yan Fangfang looked proud and said: “Hey, Xu Bo is the president of the Nanhe Martial Arts Association. I can’t compare with him, but… Lin Li has some discernment. He chose me over Xu Bo. You guys tell me… should I give it to you?” Accept a junior brother?”

This group of people were eager to be associated with a star like Lin Li, but in front of Yan Fangfang, they still pretended that it was Lin Li who begged them.

“I think…since he has the intention to learn martial arts, we can’t turn him away, so we might as well accept him.”

“Yeah, Lin Li doesn’t look like a martial arts material, but we don’t dislike him.”

“Well, if he is willing to study hard, it will be a good thing to carry forward our school in the future.”

…………

Yan Fangfang has been wishing for a long time. With a disciple like Lin Li, she will have more face wherever she goes in the future, but in front of her disciples, she will naturally have to act aloof.

“Well, since everyone said so, it’s not impossible to accept him…” Yan Fangfang pretended to hesitate, looked at Li Guangxian, and asked lightly: “Well… did they say apprenticeship ceremony?”

“Tell me, they said that the apprenticeship gift would be one million!” Li Guangxian said excitedly.

Yan Fangfang and many of his disciples looked at each other with excitement, thinking that Lin Li was indeed rich. Yan Fangfang had only given them tens of thousands to become their apprentice, or only a hundred thousand at most. Lin Li’s move was almost worth the money. It’s time for all of them to have their apprenticeship ceremony.

Yan Fangfang nodded and said with a smile: “Well, it seems that he is sincere in becoming a disciple. Then you can send a message to them to see when he will officially become a disciple.”

Li Guangxian said: “I said over there that if possible, they have media connections and can hold a grand apprenticeship party this weekend so that everyone can witness this grand event. They will provide all the funds!”

Yan Fangfang couldn’t hold it in any longer, her brows were filled with joy and she grinned.

What she wants now is fame. A popular star will become her apprentice, which is big news. Lin Li is also responsible for publicity. Once this is done, she will be able to hold her head high in the entertainment and martial arts circles.

“Okay, go and agree!”

Yan Fangfang finally put aside the hypocritical reserve she pretended, fearing that Lin Li would regret it too late.
