The straight man in the entertainment circle

Early this Sunday morning, the news that Lin Li would become a disciple of Yan Fangfang became a hot search topic.

After netizens saw this hot search, they started talking about it.

"Who is Yan Fangfang? [Confused]"

"Isn't he the Tai Chi master who became popular two days ago?"

"Hahaha, I remembered. Yan Fangfang is the video protagonist whose box office has exceeded 100 million with the addition of special effects."

"I'll go, Lin Li is out of his mind and wants to take this guy as his teacher?"

"Fake news! I don't believe it anyway."

"It is said that Lin Li will have an apprenticeship meeting this afternoon, and it will be broadcast live! You will know the truth after taking a look at it."

"Is Lin Li going to enter the martial arts circle?"

"Hahaha, doesn't it feel like a good thing?"

"Lin Li won't take advantage of this guy's popularity, right?"

"Lin Li still needs to take advantage of others?"

"As a member of the imperial guard, I feel that things are not simple [laughing evilly]."

…………

While netizens were arguing endlessly, in a five-star hotel in Taize City, the capital of Nanhe Province, Yan Fangfang was chatting with many of his disciples in the distinguished VIP lounge.

"Are all the people from the invited martial arts associations here?" Yan Fangfang asked leisurely.

"I took a look just now. Almost all the hundreds of people we invited have arrived, and there are still some on the way. This time we have invited everyone we can, so that they can come and see your influence, Master."

"Is President Xu Boxu here?"

"I just arrived. I'm resting in the lounge next door. There are many people with me."

"Hmm...how many media are here?"

"I looked at the registration list. There are more than 30 media here now, and there are probably more to come."

Yan Fangfang nodded with satisfaction. When they held events in the past, the media rarely showed up, and sometimes they had to use their connections to invite them. This time, they didn't contact any of them, and so many media came.

This made Yan Fangfang feel like she was at the pinnacle of her life.

Yan Fangfang was very proud. Naturally, she had to make a big deal about accepting a popular star. If there were no media witnesses and no jealous eyes from her colleagues, wouldn't it be a night in brocade?

"Master, there are a lot of media who want to see our martial arts performance this time. Taking advantage of the large number of media this time, should we prepare to perform later?" Jin Yabo asked.

Yan Fangfang felt that she was able to receive a disciple like Lin Li because of her last practice video. With so many media this time, if she performs again, the spread will definitely be wider. If she attracts one or two more big stars to come and become her disciple. , Aren’t you going to become the “Supreme King of Martial Arts”?

"Well, yes, it's a rare opportunity. You might as well open their eyes. You all will behave well later, and have those props ready."

The disciples also wanted to show their faces in front of the media. Even the clowns were very excited, so they all said in unison: "Okay!"

At this time, Li Guangxian, the business manager of the martial arts culture communication company run by Yan Fangfang, suddenly led a person in.

"Master Yan, this person was recommended by Lin Li's company and said he is Lin Li's bodyguard."

When everyone heard that Lin Li's bodyguard was coming, they all looked over.

Yan Fangfang looked at the man and saw that he had a solid figure and was full of male hormones. He stood out among his disciples.

"Oh, Lin Li's bodyguard...what's the matter?" Yan Fangfang asked.

Yuan Xiaodong bowed respectfully to Yan Fangfang and said: "Master Yan, the fact that Lin Li wants to become a disciple has been on the hot search...but it seems that the feedback from netizens is not very good, so the company asked me to come and discuss it with the masters. .”

Yan Fangfang asked: "What kind of feedback is not good?"

Yuan Xiaodong said: "There are just some people who have never seen advanced martial arts and question your strength..."

Yan Fangfang was a little unhappy, but she understood it. After all, after her video became popular, her apprentices also reported on this issue, and she thought it was good to have controversy.

But Lin Li is a celebrity after all, and it is normal to be concerned about the voices of netizens. Yan Fangfang is not surprised that they would send Yuan Xiaodong to talk about this matter.

"What do those people know? They are all a group of people who don't practice martial arts!"

"I heard that Junior Brother Lin Li is not a person who pays attention to the voices of netizens."

"That's right, it's already on the hot search, shouldn't you regret it?"

…………

Yan Fangfang's disciples began to protect their master's image, but they sounded really afraid that Lin Li would regret it. If Lin Li really regretted it, it would be a big loss for them, and they really hoped to have a big star like Lin Li to support the scene.

Yuan Xiaodong smiled and said: "How is it possible? Lin Li really wants to be a disciple of Teacher Yan. Teacher Yan is highly respected and many of his apprentices are martial arts champions. Lin Li is lucky enough to have you as his teacher, and he will also have face in the future. It's just that the company To maintain the artist's image, there is quite a lot of controversy online right now, so the company still hopes that we can prove it in front of so many people today."

Yan Fangfang felt a lot relieved after hearing what Yuan Xiaodong said, and became proud again, saying, "What you said makes some sense. We will perform it later."

Yuan Xiaodong smiled and said: "The company has collected the opinions of netizens. The general meaning is that everything in your video is a competition with your disciples. They are all staged and unreal, so... we hope to put on a play this time to show everyone People are watching, so all netizens should shut up.”

Yan Fangfang is not stupid. She knew that before today, the more controversial her videos were, the better, which could bring her popularity. But after today, she has an apprentice like Lin Li, who is her movable type signature, and she also No need for controversy to gain popularity.

So after today, it is a good thing that there is no controversy, both for Lin Li and for herself. On this point, she and Lin Li are on a united front.

"Do you have any ideas to put an end to the controversy?" Yan Fangfang asked.

Yuan Xiaodong said: "What the company means is that before the apprenticeship begins, I will stand in the position of the netizens and start to question your level on the stage. Then Teacher Yan Fang will come on stage to fight me and I will lose, so that I can block others." mouth."

Yan Fangfang looked at Yuan Xiaodong and said, "This method is not impossible..."

Yan Fangfang said halfway and did not continue, but looked at Yuan Xiaodong repeatedly.

Yuan Xiaodong asked: "This is the company's requirement. Does Mr. Yan have any questions?"

Yan Fangfang gave her apprentice Jin Yabo a look, and Jin Yabo said: "My master's skill is too high, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"Don't worry about this. I've been practicing martial arts for many years, and I still have some foundation. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to be Lin Li's bodyguard."

Jin Yabo frowned and said, "You don't understand. Our performance on stage is very particular, and it cannot be understood by one's level of martial arts. How about this? You try my hand with me and I see how your understanding is?"

Yuan Xiaodong nodded and said: "Okay, please be merciful."

"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be able to bear it," Jin Yabo said.

Yuan Xiaodong suddenly struck a few moves on the spot, which made Jin Yabo feel guilty. When he saw Yuan Xiaodong coming, he actually took a few steps back.

Yuan Xiaodong has stayed on the set for several years, helping his master to train the actors. Sometimes he has to perform some difficult actions as a stand-in. Of course, his kung fu is good, but he will never really hit people or be hit when acting. Yes, so Yuan Xiaodong is also extremely skilled in this aspect.

Not even hitting Jin Yabo with one punch, Yuan Xiaodong spun around in the air and fell to the ground with a "pop".

Jin Yabo and others thought that Yuan Xiaodong would break his bones with this fall, but Yuan Xiaodong immediately stood up like a carp.

"Sure enough, good kung fu, amazing!" Yuan Xiaodong praised.

Yuan Xiaodong's movements are lifelike and clean. They look much more real and beautiful than those of Yan Fangfang's apprentices.

Jin Yabo felt proud and said, "Well, you have a good understanding. You just need to roll around on the ground twice after falling."

"Okay, I remember."

After everyone saw it, they were very satisfied and felt that Yuan Xiaodong must have been inspired by Lin Li and was quite enlightened.

Yan Fangfang stood up and said, "Come on, let me give you some advice."

After saying that, Yan Fangfang stretched out her right hand and put on a pushing posture.

Yuan Xiaodong understood and immediately stepped forward, also extending his right hand to take Yan Fangfang's right hand.

Yan Fangfang pushed gently and shouted: "Go!"

Yuan Xiaodong was seen doing backflips several times in succession, then fell to the ground and rolled several times before he stood up unsteadily and said, "Teacher Yan's skills are indeed amazing. No one will dare to question it after this time. Lin Libai As a teacher, you are really honorable."

Yan Fangfang saw that Yuan Xiaodong's movements were very gorgeous, much better than her own disciples, so she naturally did not object to Lin Li Company's arrangement. She even looked forward to Yuan Xiaodong's performance on the stage later, which would highlight her "unparalleled skills" .

Yan Fangfang was very happy. This arrangement by Lin Li's company allowed her to shine on the stage. As Lin Li's master, she excelled, and Lin Li naturally gained more face.

Therefore, Yan Fangfang feels that Lin Li's arrangement will be a win-win situation.

"Well, you have a good understanding. Go back and tell Lin Li that I am very satisfied with this arrangement. You have to remember how you felt just now. You can't make any mistakes on stage." Yan Fangfang reminded Yuan Xiaodong.

Yuan Xiaodong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I hope that if I perform well this time, Lin Li will give me a salary increase."

Yan Fangfang was even more satisfied. This time it was not a win-win situation, but a three-win situation.

After sending Yuan Xiaodong away, Yan Fangfang said: "I'm going to meet people from other martial arts associations. You guys come with me."

The disciples nodded one after another, and they followed Yan Fangfang to the next door to meet people from other associations. The group of people also came forward to congratulate him.

In the lounge, the person with the highest status is naturally Xu Bo, the president of the Nanhe Martial Arts Association.

Before Yan Fangfang arrived, everyone was chatting around Xu Bo. After Yan Fangfang arrived, everyone gathered around to congratulate her.

Yan Fangfang greeted everyone proudly, and then came to Xu Bo.

"President Xu, long time no see."

"President Yan, congratulations. You have gained a disciple. Now everyone in the country knows you."

Yan Fangfang laughed and said: "I still can't compete with you. Not only do you have a star apprentice Yang Jun, but you also have a world champion Sanda apprentice Chen Changming."

There was a trace of pride on Xu Bo's face, but he still said modestly: "My two apprentices are okay in terms of achievements, but in terms of fame, together they are not as good as your apprentices."

Yan Fangfang smiled and said: "It's all in vain, it also depends on his sincerity, otherwise, I really might not agree."

Xu Bo saw through the pride in Yan Fangfang's tone and said with a smile: "President Yan has really brought glory to our national martial arts by recruiting a high-ranking disciple this time. It will be your turn to take my position next time."

Xu Bo will retire in the next term, and there are currently several candidates in the circle who want to take Xu Bo's seat after he retires.

Yan Fangfang originally didn't dare to hope, but after this time, her popularity among the people has greatly increased. She can claim that she has promoted national martial arts, which is very helpful for her to become a candidate and become the most powerful competitor.

If Lin Li was willing to do something for her, she might actually get Xu Bo's position as president.

"President Xu is joking, I am so virtuous and capable..." Yan Fangfang grinned to the back of her ears, "President Xu will come on stage later and say a few words to calm things down for me."

Yan Fangfang also hopes to have a good relationship with Xu Bo. If she can get his support, she will have enough leverage.

Xu Bo smiled and said: "Forget it, you accept a disciple and I will go up and talk. This is not appropriate..."

"Appropriate, what is your status? In terms of being a master, I have to call you uncle."

Xu Bo laughed and said: "If you talk about it, I can really be regarded as your senior uncle."

"Yes, then you can come on stage and say a few words to us. There are a lot of media today, and your contribution to Chinese martial arts needs to be noticed."

Xu Bo's heart was already moved, and after pondering for a while, the disciple behind him said: "Master, what does it matter if you say a few words?"

Xu Bo glanced at Yan Fangfang and said with a smile: "Since Chairman Yan warmly invites you, but I am disrespectful, I will go on stage to say a few words later."

"Two sentences are not enough, say a few more!" Yan Fangfang said boldly.

Xu Bo thought that Yan Fangfang was quite sensible to have the status she has today, and said with a smile: "A few sentences are enough, any more will overwhelm the guest, and I can't do it."

Yan Fangfang's eyes became a little calmer and she said with a smile: "President Xu, we don't always have the opportunity to listen to your kind words."

The two of them laughed tacitly. Yan Fangfang and Xu Bo took their leave and greeted the others.

Seeing Yan Fangfang leave like a show of strength, Xu Bo felt a trace of jealousy in his heart.

The apprentice next to Xu Bo also followed his gaze and looked at Yan Fangfang, and said sourly: "Master, you said that Yan Fangfang is so lucky that Lin Li will fall in love with her."

"Lin Li is an actor, what does he know?" Another apprentice said softly.

"Having seen those exaggerated videos of Yan Fangfang and her apprentices, I really thought she was a martial arts master. If you ask me, those videos are too exaggerated. I feel really embarrassed."

"Embarrassed? Look at me, are you embarrassed now?"

"Okay, I told you not to talk anymore, no matter what the occasion is!"

Xu Bo interrupted the conversation of several disciples, but at this time there was a ripple in his heart.

"It seems that you still need to have a gimmick to attract people."

Xu Bo secretly thought in his heart, it would be rare to see so many media reporters later, and the attention would be so high, should he also promote himself?

At least let everyone know that you are better than Yan Fangfang!
