Chapter 318 Follow the Monkey King to learn monkeys

Two days later, in a large courtyard house in Nancheng, Beijing, a thin man wearing glasses was doing movements. It looked like a set of boxing techniques, like the Five Animal Show. The man's movements were very vivid, and every step and even every expression was extremely in place, like a clever monkey.

Not far behind the man, Liu La was also learning every move and breaking down every step. Of course, Liu La could not be as realistic as others. At most, it was just a show of appearance and could not achieve the spirit of others.

Two days ago, after meeting Chen Long and others at the Beijing Hotel, it was unexpectedly very smooth that the leading role was taken down by Liu La, so that Liu La is still a little unbelievable. He thought that the foreigner would make things difficult for him or do some Hollywood ways to test him in a Hollywood way that he didn't know at all.

As a result, there is no difference between the people and the domestic method of choosing actors. It was just that Liu La acted in a short section according to the script. She felt that there was no problem and the performance was quite qualified, so she made a decision directly, which was more enjoyable than doing business in China.

What particularly satisfies the director is that Liu La speaks fluent English, and even speaks English more like Americans than Chen Long, the old American, which is very touching. No wonder Liu La learned English from the dean of the welfare institute in his previous life. He was a person who studied in his early years and spoke authentic New York accent. Mingkov is from New York State. This is a local accent. Can you feel uncomfortable if you hear it?

The contract has to be waited for the United States, and Liu La joins the acting staff union and can only be signed with the union staff. However, with Chen Long's oral agreement, Liu La is also more at ease. People with Chen Long's identity are more important than anything else, and they must not fool themselves.

So Liu La is applying for an application to the United States in the past two days. Because it is because of work, and a star like him wants to immigrate a few more, so the processing is still very smooth. The rest is waiting, waiting for the visa to be issued to him, and you can set off to the United States at that time, which may take about a week.

After this approval, it will be more convenient to go to the United States again in the future, and there is no need for such a long wait and review.

In a week, Liu La couldn't wait, because there were many martial arts moves in the play, and the "Kung Fu King" was written by Sun Wukong, so Liu La found the well-deserved Monkey King, Teacher Liu Xiaolingtong, who is now a well-deserved monkey play, to learn some monkey play kung fu from him.

Liu La's grandfather and Guan Liu Xiaolingtong's grandfather, called "Saihuo Monkey", were called Uncle Shi, and Liu Xiaolingtong's father, "Southern Monkey King Liu Lingtong", were good friends who often walked around during their lifetime. So the two families were also family friends, but they were not as close as Ma Sanye's family.

The opera circle is very nostalgic, so when Liu La, the younger generation, came to the door, he heard that he wanted to learn monkey opera and act in a movie. Teacher Liu Xiaolingtong agreed without saying a word. This is the scene where Liu La followed him to learn before he became rich, and the thin man he studied was naturally the Monkey King Liu Xiaolingtong.

In fact, Liu Xiaolingtong is not the same surname or a serious name, so don’t call him Teacher Liu, this is just a stage name. Just like many people call Liu La Shao and Master Liu, he definitely is not his surname Shao.

The real name of "Liu Xiaolingtong" is Zhang Jinlai. His family has been performing monkey operas for generations. His great-grandfather "Living Monkey Zhang", his grandfather "Sailiu Monkey", and his father "Liu Lingtong", all of them perform monkey operas. The family has been the Southern Monkey King of China for generations. As famous as the Northern Monkey King, the inheritance of the opera master Li Wanchun.

Now the sect of the Southern Monkey King has been passed down to the hands of "Liu Xiaolingtong", but in fact, this lineage did not intend to let Liu Xiaolingtong inherit it at the beginning, but was planning to let his brother "Liu Liulingtong" inherit it. That was also a genius in the field of opera, especially the monkey opera, and even far superior to Zhang Jinlai, the "Liu Xiaolingtong".

But who would think that God was jealous of talent? At a very young age, Zhang Jinlai's brother died of illness. It was from this day that Zhang Jinlai began to really study monkey opera seriously. And because his father was "Liu Lingtong" and his brother was called "Liu Liulingtong", he appointed his name as "Liu Xiaolingtong", intending to inherit his brother's will. The path you have not walked and the dream you have not fulfilled will be your younger brother to help you realize it.

He was also very young, and Liu Xiaolingtong began to practice hard every day, and in the end his hard work was fulfilled. He became the actor of "Sun Wukong" in Journey to the West, and successfully impressed the audience for his outstanding and vivid performance, and finally became the name of Liu Xiaolingtong, the "Monkey King".

The saying that the Southern Monkey King and Northern Monkey King are not as good as the Monkey King, which is enough to explain everything.

Although he is in his fifties, Liu Xiaolingtong still looks full of energy. However, perhaps because he has played with the monkey too many times, his figure is not very tall and a little hunched, which makes his already not tall body look even thinner.

However, what is hidden in the short body is a great power. Under the conditions of that time, being able to film a TV series like "Journey to the West" and being able to play the role of the Monkey King so fantasy is still a classic in the minds of several generations. The only Monkey King recognized by the audience. Whoever saw this thin man would have to give him a thumbs up and shout "convinced"!

At least Liu La was very convinced. If you don’t talk about anything else, just Teacher Zhang Jinlai’s daily practice is enough to make Liu La admire him. He has already reached his status and has achieved such great success. He also gets up at 6 o’clock every morning and has two hours of unimpeded training. Liu La believes that he can’t do this, and he can’t even hold on in the morning class.

It is precisely because of admiration that Liu La was particularly serious when studying with Teacher Zhang. For two consecutive days, he arrived early at 5 o'clock in the morning and practiced until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Then he went home to rest in a sweat. It was already late in autumn in Beijing, and the weather was getting colder. Liu La could still sweat all over his body, which was enough to show how hard he worked and how hard he worked.

Obviously, Teacher Zhang also recognized his hard work. He had been learning basic movements for the past two days. After this morning, Teacher Zhang finally threw a wooden stick to Liu La: "We will start learning stick skills today..."
