The straight man in the entertainment circle

On the second day after its release, "The Grandmaster" still ranked first at the box office due to the increase in film schedules. Although the overall box office was lower than the box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "The Grandmaster" still received more than 240 million at the box office.

The reputation of the movie began to ferment. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the movie schedules for movies with good reputations were improved. On the contrary, the movie schedules for movies with poor reputations also began to decline.

"The Grandmaster" has a good reputation and has maintained 28% of the film schedule, which is the highest among all Spring Festival movies.

On the third day of junior high school, Lin Li followed the crew of "The Grandmaster" to Sioux City to promote.

Sioux City is Lin Li's base camp. Although the population here is not as good as Kyoto and Magic City, the number of Lin Li's fans and the degree of die-hard loyalty are the highest. It can be said that the Imperial Forest Army in Sioux City is very likely to watch Lin Li's movies three or four times.

Judging from the box office statistics of "The Grandmaster", although Sioux City is not as good as Kyoto and Magic City for the time being, if we look at it in a few days, we really can't say for sure.

The theater promoted by Lin Li and others today has been put under martial law, and only VIP customers can buy tickets to enter.

However, I don’t know where the news was leaked. Hundreds of imperial guards gathered outside the theater, holding posters of "The Grandmaster" and waiting for Lin Li's arrival. Seeing this scene, passers-by knew that Lin Li was coming, so they also joined the team and thought about it. See the elegance of Lin Li.

Moreover, this group of people also posted messages on WeChat and told each other. More and more people came all of a sudden. The mall where the movie theater was located was full of people, at least several thousand people.

Lin Li was still taking a nap on the way to Su City from Shanghai. Song Wenjie sat over, patted Lin Li and said, "I have something to tell you."

Lin Li opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"People from the Chinese Wushu Association contacted us and said that after seeing your performance in "The Grandmaster" and the Spring Festival Gala, and based on your influence, they would like to ask you to be the spokesperson for the promotion of Chinese Wushu."

Lin Li was stunned. He didn't expect that they would take a fancy to him. After all, he planned to punish Yan Fangfang, which made many people disappointed with Chinese martial arts.

However, this was not Lin Li's original intention. He just couldn't stand the pretentiousness and deceit of Yan Fangfang and others. When he later participated in the Spring Festival Gala, he chose the song "Chinese Kung Fu" to rectify the name of Chinese Kung Fu, and it did make many people fall in love with martial arts again.

Since the system gave Lin Li a kung fu, Lin Li has also developed a deep affection for Chinese martial arts. Seeing the gradual decline of martial arts, he is also quite disappointed. If he can rely on his own influence, everyone can re-establish their love and confidence in Chinese martial arts. , Lin Li also thought it was good.

"Did they say that if you become this spokesperson, are there any contractual matters to be done?"

"It is said that there will be a press conference, and then you will attend a martial arts conference award ceremony every year. For other activities, you will be paid according to your worth."

Lin Li thought for a while and said, "Okay, I agree."

Song Wenjie nodded and picked up her phone to reply to the message.

When the car arrived at the mall, I was immediately frightened when I saw the huge crowd of people.

When they promoted these days, they had a lot of fans, but they were never as exaggerated as they are today.

Zhang Dasong looked out the window and said with a smile: "I haven't seen this scene for a long time."

Zhang Dasong is a person who is used to seeing big scenes. The stars of the movies he shoots every year are all superstars. It is unusual for him to say that he has not seen them for a long time.

Lin Li hadn't been back to Sioux City for a long time. When he saw so many people coming towards him, he thought about it and said, "I'll get out of the car and say hello to them."

"There are too many people. It's better not to leave. It wouldn't be good if something unexpected happens." Zhang Dasong said.

Although Lin Li felt that it made sense, he still felt a little sorry when he saw so many people waiting for him in the cold wind.

In fact, the inside of their car was completely invisible from the outside. They originally drove to the basement and entered the VIP elevator directly to the theater, so no one outside knew about it.

But it's okay if Lin Li didn't see it. If he saw it, just leave like this, it definitely wouldn't work.

"Director Zhang, let me go down, I just want to thank everyone."

"I'm with you." Chen Qingqing said.

Zhang Dasong saw that the two of them were very determined and could not stop them, so he said: "Then you wait for a while, I will ask the security arranged by the theater to come down."

There were too many people outside, so Lin Li had no choice but to wait for security to come down and ensure safety.

Within a few minutes, more than a dozen security guards came out. They used isolation tape to block the car door into an open space.

Everyone saw the security guards isolating the car and immediately realized that Lin Li was coming, so they gathered around.

Lin Li, Chen Qingqing and Zhang Dasong all got out of the car.

As soon as they saw Lin Li, everyone cheered and screamed, calling Lin Li's name.

Lin Li bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you everyone, please go back. It's very cold outside!"

Everyone screamed, and the people in the front row were pushed forward by the people in the back row. The people in the back row held up their mobile phones and took pictures desperately.

"Everyone, please stop crowding!"

Lin Li said loudly. His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone stopped when they heard what Lin Li said.

"Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. If you like watching movies, you can go and support the movie "The Grandmaster". If you have seen it, then go back early and spend more time with your family!"

After Lin Li finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "We want to get together with you!"

Lin Li smiled and said, "I don't want to get together with you! I'm busy."

Everyone laughed when they heard Lin Li's remarks.

"Okay, if you want to take a picture, hurry up and do what you have to do after taking the picture. Stop hanging around, I have something to do too!"

Everyone was very happy to hear that Lin Li was so kind. One by one they picked up their mobile phones and took photos before leaving.

One of them said to Lin Li: "Come on, Boss Lin and Chen Qingqing, come closer!"

Everyone laughed.

Lin Li looked at the young girl and asked, "How old are you?"

The girl blushed and said, "Eighteen."

"Where do you study?"

"Sioux City No. 13 Middle School, senior year."

Lin Li smiled and said, "You should be a reporter from now on. Now you know how to act like a red carpet reporter."

The people around laughed after hearing this.

However, Lin Li naturally got closer to Chen Qingqing.

After staying in the square for half an hour, Lin Li and others left the square and went to the cinema.

After the promotion, Lin Li invited everyone to sit at his home.

Song Wenjie bought a large meal of snacks, and everyone sat at home eating and chatting. After finishing the snacks, everyone returned to the hotel.

The next day, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it was confirmed that Lin Li would become the spokesperson for Chinese martial arts.

The official Weibo of the Chinese Wushu Association released the news, and Lin Li forwarded it.

Although this matter did not become a hot search topic, Lin Li's Weibo followers had exceeded 50 million at this time, and many people saw it once he forwarded it, sparking quite a discussion.

"The Chinese Martial Arts Association finally made the right choice!"

"I wholeheartedly support Lin Li's decision to become the spokesperson for Chinese martial arts. His martial arts moves are so cool!"

"I was shocked by Lin Li's show on the Spring Festival Gala. Unlike those sissy celebrities, this is what a Chinese star should look like!"

"Lin Li should be the most capable star in China, right? Can Yuan Zhen beat Lin Li?"

"Forget it Yuan Zhen, he kept kicking the plaque on the spot. It means that the beating was very powerful in the movie, but it is probably useless in a real fight. The only one who can fight Lin Li a few times now is probably Tian Zhan."

"Tian Zhan said that he cried when he was beaten by Fang Zhan Yuanchang, and when he was beaten by Lin Li, he only cried when he was beaten."

"Fang Zhanyuan and Cheng Ming are both old. There is no chance of fighting Lin Li."

…………

Lin Li's martial arts moves are so cool, and now that he has official certification, almost everyone who likes Lin Li thinks that Lin Li is the best fighter in the entertainment industry.

With the help of this incident, Lin Li once again surpassed Zhou Siyuan in the Spring Festival Gala program selection, temporarily ranking first with more than 100 million votes.

But this incident also brought about a trouble.

That is, many people think that Lin Li can fight better than other action stars, and that other action stars are either old or fake, which makes fans of action stars who still rely on action movies unhappy.

For a while, fans of Tian Zhan, Yuan Zhen, Fang Zhanyuan and even Cheng Ming started fighting with the Yulin Army online.

"Lin Li is just a showman. Looking at his body, he will definitely not be able to fight in actual combat."

"Lin Lichui is really scary. Although I also think Lin Li's actions are good-looking, it is entirely due to Zhang Dasong's directing. If Lin Li really wants to fight people like Yuan Zhen, there will definitely be no chance."

"If Cheng Ming were twenty years younger, even ten Lin Li would be no match for him."

"I just went to a Spring Festival Gala, performed martial arts, and filmed an action movie, and Lin Li doesn't know what his last name is?"

"This spokesperson for Chinese martial arts should find Fang Zhanyuan, Lin Li is a loser!"

…………

The fans were getting more and more noisy. Judging from their posture, they wanted to ask Lin Li to fight with them all to see who was stronger.

The fact that Lin Li became the spokesperson of Chinese martial arts did not become a hot search, but the scolding war among fans pushed him to the hot search.

Hot search: Lin Licheng’s strength as spokesperson for Chinese martial arts was questioned by netizens

Now netizens also joined in and began to analyze Lin Li's actual combat capabilities.

Some people think that Lin Li's actual combat ability is not weak, while others think that Lin Li's actual combat ability is very poor, and the two sides cannot unify at all.

Due to the huge controversy, not only Lin Li's strength has been questioned, but the Chinese Wushu Association's decision to choose Lin Li as its spokesperson has also been attacked by netizens.

Not long after, the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association found an assistant to discuss countermeasures with Song Wenjie.

They found Lin Li as their spokesperson because they wanted to restore the image of Chinese Wushu in the public mind. But now that Lin Li is being questioned, more people feel that the Chinese Wushu Association is unreliable.

In the evening, Song Wenjie said to Lin Li: "The Wushu Association hopes that you will participate in the "Come on Martial Arts" program and have a real fight to prove your strength. Of course, they will arrange it."

The "Come on Martial Arts" program is jointly organized by the Nanhe Provincial Martial Arts Association and Nanhe TV Station. The Chinese Martial Arts Association can be said to be their superior, and naturally has the power to influence the competition.

Lin Li naturally understood what they meant by "it will be arranged", and was immediately disappointed. He also concluded that the program "Come on Martial Arts" was fake.

Thinking of this program, Lin Li remembered Yuan Xiaodong.

Isn’t this guy just on this show to fight against fraud?

I don’t know what’s going on?

Lin Li picked up his cell phone and called Yuan Xiaodong.

After a while, Yuan Xiaodong picked up the phone.

"Lin Li, why did you remember to call me?" Yuan Xiaodong panted, as if he had just finished exercising.

"I just wanted to ask, how was your time on that show?"

"Very good. If you win this tonight, you can fight Wang Yilong tomorrow night!"

Lin Li had a feeling that things would not be that simple and asked, "Who are you fighting tonight?"

"They didn't tell me..."

"Why didn't I tell you?"

"I said he was a mysterious guest, but I didn't say it anyway. Hey, no matter who comes, I will defeat him. I must let everyone see Wang Yilong's true strength. Let's see who dares to myth him in the future!"

"We are going to Nanhe Zhengcheng to promote tomorrow. If I have time then, I will go and cheer you up!"

"Okay, then I will use the skills you taught me to take care of Wang Yilong!"

Lin Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li's ominous premonition appeared again.

"Son, what's the reply from the Wushu Association?" Song Wenjie asked.

Lin Li didn't know what was going to happen with this bad premonition, and felt a little uneasy.

"Wait, we'll talk about it later..."

That night, after Lin Li and others finished promoting the movie, Song Wenjie looked preoccupied and hesitated as soon as they returned to the hotel.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Lin Li immediately remembered the bad premonition he had before, but he had been promoting the movie just now and had no time to care about it.

Song Wenjie hesitated and said: "That... the news I just heard... said..."

"What did you say?!" Lin Li said anxiously.

"It said... Yuan Xiaodong was injured and hospitalized."

"Ah!" Lin Li's heart trembled, "How did he get injured?!"

"Didn't he participate in the show "Let's Martial Arts"? It seems that he had a fight with a Muay Thai champion tonight... lost... and was injured. He is now in the hospital!"

Lin Li understood immediately. No wonder Wang Yilong agreed to Yuan Xiaodong's challenge but deliberately let him participate in this show.

It seems that they have long planned to design Yuan Xiaodong!

It's a pity that I have been busy with the Spring Festival Gala and movies these days and have no time to think about it, otherwise I should have discovered the clues long ago.

"Muay Thai champion?"

"Yeah, what's the name of Le... He seems to be very powerful, but I heard that he lost to Wang Yilong before."

Lin Li sneered and understood everything.

Mele, the world champion of Muay Thai, is very strong. Although he has retired now, he has been playing black boxing and has maintained his strength very well. As for losing to Wang Yilong, it is a joke.

Yuan Xiaodong is very strong among ordinary people, but there is still some distance between him and a Muay Thai champion.

"How's his injury?"

"It seems like one of the finger bones is broken..."

Lin Li clenched his fists and said, "This is a deliberate attempt by the program team and Wang Yilong to prank Yuan Xiaodong!"

Song Wenjie said: "Yes, that guy Wang Yilong is so hateful, and he is still laughing at Yuan Xiaodong..."

Lin Li's face turned cold and he said, "What did he say?"

"He said... Yuan Xiaodong couldn't even defeat his defeated generals, but he still wanted to fight him, overestimating his own abilities and so on..."

Lin Li tried to calm down his anger. He knew that if Yuan Xiaodong failed this time, Wang Yilong and his supporters would definitely ridicule Yuan Xiaodong.

Lin Li was silent for a while and said to Song Wenjie: "Mom, tell the Chinese Martial Arts Association that I agree to compete on the "Come on Martial Arts" show to prove my strength, but I want to fight Wang Yilong!"

Song Wenjie was stunned, a little worried, and said, "Don't be impulsive!"

"Mom, I can do it." Lin Li saw that his mother was worried and comforted her.
