Chapter 108: Choosing the Wrong Occupation
"Okay! Good job! Matthew!"
"High punches with your back! Yes, that's it!"
"Matthew, come on! Beat that bastard Niebola down!"
On the boxing training ground of the fitness club, more than 20 people stood beside the boxing ring, watching two strong men fighting on the boxing ring, and would make a shout from time to time.
Matthew and coach Nie Bora were fighting in the ring, but both of them were wearing full sets of protective gear.
Almost all the onlookers cheered for Matthew. It was not that they were on Matthew's side, but that boxing coach Niebora had not lost in the fitness club, and they all wanted to see someone defeat this guy.
Matthew has always been on the defensive. Although his predecessor had a lot of experience in jungle fights, he has only been in contact with professional training for more than a month, which is incomparable to Neborah, who has been training for many years.
Modern competitive fighting has systematic scientific training. In this kind of one-on-one fighting without using weapons, ordinary people cannot confront professional players at all.
However, compared to Neborah, Matthew also has his own strengths, especially when the two have played many games recently and lost consecutive games, they have also summarized certain experiences and lessons.
His strength is not as strong as Niebola, and his weight is also different, but his footsteps are very flexible. After a period of training, his physical coordination and agility are also better. You Dou is the only opportunity.
If he fights face to face, Neborah will teach him how to be a good person with a heavy blow.
When the two of them were practicing together at the beginning, Matthew lacked experience and had many heavy punches from Neborah, and his non-professional ability to resist hits was limited.
There were constant noises under the boxing ring, and many people were shouting to cheer, but Matthew was unmoved, fully leveraging his advantage of flexible steps, constantly wandering around the boxing ring, and occasionally using his front jab to harass Niebola, not giving him a chance to fight in close combat.
This strategy is very effective. Matthew persisted until the third round in the first match against Nebora, and it was also the last round of this purely amateur training match.
Neborah is older than him, he weighs more than him, and he consumes more physical strength. This is the effect Matthew wants.
He continued to fight and looked for opportunities to attack. Neborah's speed was obviously slower than the previous two rounds. After dealing with Matthew's several front-hand jabs, the originally tight defense showed a defensive loophole at the right side of his face, exposing his cheeks wearing protective gear on the right.
Matthew knew that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately took advantage of his speed and went up. The left fist that had been hidden behind was swinging out like lightning, hitting Niebola's facial protective gear hard, then hit Niebola's head protective gear again.
Then, he hit Niebola with a combination of punches like raindrops.
Niebola protected his head with both hands, and seemed to have only the ability to resist and no longer have the power to fight back. However, he is a professional player with excellent ability to fight against attacks. He just lacks battles and retreats, and he is not panic at all.
Matthew's offensive did not last long, and he quickly felt his arms were sore and weak, and he realized that it was impossible to knock down Niebola. After another heavy punch, he pulled back and retreated.
Neborah's counterattack followed, and Matthew hurriedly avoided and continued to fight, and finally persisted until the end of the third round.
The two men who acted as interim referees briefly discussed, and one of them said loudly, "Nebora won the points!"
"Nebora won again!"
"I thought Matthew could win one..."
A disappointed voice came from around the boxing ring, and the onlookers gradually dissipated.
With the assistance of the staff, Matthew took off his boxing gloves and followed Niebola, walked around the ring twice. After his breathing was slightly calmed down, he picked up the water and started drinking.
"No matter how old I am, I can't stand your attack in the third round." Niebola twisted the aquarius, held the guardrail of the ring and said to Matthew, "Your strategy is very right."
Matthew also lay on the guardrail, "But he didn't train enough, his fist strength was still not strong enough."
Nie Bora laughed, "I'm a boxer who has played professional games in the United States. Even though I'm old, my ability to fight against blows is still there." He reached out and patted Matthew on the arm, "You are very good, your strength, coordination and sensitivity can be considered first-class among amateur players, and you have only been training for less than two months."
Matthew shrugged, it was actually obvious that the previous Matthew had a typical simple mind and developed limbs. If he could take the path of professional sports, he might have made a fortune.
"I think you chose the wrong profession." Neborah has been serving as Matthew's boxing coach recently, and thinks he can see clearly, "You shouldn't be an actor!"
Matthew asked curiously, "Why?"
Neborah doesn't seem to be joking, "I think you have the potential to be a professional fighter. If you can do professional training, it is possible to participate in UFC. The only problem is that you are a little older now."
He patted Matthew's arm again, "If you are interested, I can introduce you to a coach."
"Forget it." Matthew declined without thinking. "I think being a Hollywood star has a more promising future. I will not waste my talent when I become an action star in the future."
Nie Bola nodded, "Yes, your innate conditions are very good!" He said bluntly, "In terms of physical conditions alone, you are much better than Jackman, the last one I coached and trained."
Matthew smiled, but instead of answering his words, he stretched out his hand and touched Niebola's fist, "Thank you for your guidance during this period. We will continue after I finish my work."
This is his last day of training. In three days, he will report to Universal Studios where the crew of "Fast and Furious" is located to participate in the pre-filming training organized by the crew.
"Good luck!" Neborah got along well with Matthew, "become a big star as soon as possible!"
"Thanks!"
Matthew left the boxing training ground and took a shower and went home. At night, Britney sneaked over to have a tryst with him, but as before, Britney returned home after nine o'clock.
After this time, neither of them had time. Britney had to prepare for participating in the MTV Music Awards. The female star walked the red carpet, which was much more troublesome than men. Matthew joined the crew of "Fast and Furious" and began a five-day training.
Training is much simpler than he thought. The action guide personally teaches them actors with action scenes. The course is mainly divided into two parts. One is how to cooperate with the crew to shoot in action scenes. This can be said to be the top priority. After all, the fighting scenes of the film are completely different from reality; the other is the safety issues during shooting.
"We're fine, all dangerous action scenes have stunt stand-ins..."
During the break, a tall and thin actor with short and golden blonde hair said to Matthew, "You're miserable, you have to go on both scenes in person."
Matthew smiled and shrugged, "I'm used to it." He said deliberately, "Paul, I'm a master in this field!"
The person who talked to him was Paul Walker, one of the male protagonists in the crew. There were only five or six people participating in the training. He basically got familiar with each other in a few days, especially Paul Walker, who was the male protagonist.
After observing for a few days, Matthew discovered that Paul Walker was easy-going, had no temper, and was kind to get along with others. He could be regarded as one of the famous actors he met with very good personalities.
Paul Walker shook his head and expressed his disbelief.
Matthew bent his arm and showed the biceps femoris covered under the T-shirt. "I just practiced boxing for a while and can fight against professional players!"
"Just blow." Paul Walker smiled.
"I'm very honest and don't like bragging." Matthew looked at the other actors who participated in the training and asked, "Why haven't you seen another protagonist?"
The training is almost over, and Vin Diesel has not appeared yet.
"He won't participate in training." Paul Walker shook his head. "I heard from the agent that he has been negotiating with the crew and demanding that Dominic Toreto be aggravated..."
"Oh?" Matthew asked curiously, "Isn't he very famous? Can he still bargain with the crew?"
Paul Walker obviously knew that "Vin Diesel starred in a film with an investment of over 10 million US dollars. This time he also brought most of the investment for the crew. Although there was no name producer, he had the right to speak in many things. Originally, Dominic Toreto was just a pure supporting role, but later he took on the role, and after several modifications, he became one of the two protagonists."
Matthew nodded, "So that's it."
Five days of training were fleeting, and Van Diesel never showed up until the end of the training.
However, Matthew didn't care about this kind of thing. He just played a small role with few scenes and would soon leave the crew. He should not have too much interaction with the people in this crew.
