Chapter Six The Survival Status of Martial Arts

Liao Xin, the only one who didn't speak, was the youngest among them.

Not only is this person handsome, but he also speaks softly:

"I'm only 25 years old, and I've been following my brothers for 7 or 8 years. I don't say much, but I know what I'm thinking! We brothers are all honest people, and we all want to live a good life. I agree.

Brother Chengzhi’s point of view, don’t mention these words in the future, there is no need!”

Liu Qingshan was actually a little surprised, because as soon as this person's words came out of his mouth, the topic came to an abrupt end.

Perhaps feeling his confusion, Ma Shengli suppressed a smile and explained: "Although Liao Xin is not very young, he is a military advisor among the third brother's group, and his words are still very weighty!"

Seeing Liu Qingshan looking at him, Wu Sancai smiled and nodded:

"Liao Xin has a good brain, is not impulsive, and is good at making judgments. The fact that the brothers have a stable life today has a lot to do with his ideas!"

"That's because of the praise of my brothers. I wanted to commit suicide, but my third brother saved me!"

Liao Xin's words were astonishing.

After asking about it, I found out that when he applied for a university in Kyoto, he failed by just a few points.

This made him, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, unable to think about it for a moment, and he had the idea of ​​​​committing suicide.

In the end, a Wu San from the town passed by and rescued him. Who would have expected that such a frail scholar would refuse to leave from then on, and would rather follow a few people around all over the world.

Being able to join the martial arts industry in the film and television industry was precisely because of his advice and meeting someone who was willing to support me, and I managed to do well in a few years.

"We call him Uncle Ping. He was an elder who once studied martial arts. He stayed in Xiangjiang for a while and was engaged in martial arts. Later, there was a film and television city in the mainland. Uncle Ping took the lead and a few people returned and opened it as a partnership.

The first professional martial arts company in the Mainland has a very resounding name, Xuanwu Stunt Company!"

After Wu San's explanation, Liu Qingshan suddenly realized that Xuanwu Special Effects was extremely famous in various film and television studios in the mainland.

In those days, various home classes were popular in Xiangjiang. As long as Liu Jialiang, Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao, and Chen Long had jobs, their corresponding members of the Liu Family Class, Yuan Family Class, Hong Family Class, and Chen Family Class would not have to worry about being out of work.

As a result, the income is more stable.

However, the martial arts industry represented by Uncle Ping who came from the mainland did not belong to any family class. He entered the industry as a casual worker. Unless he was extremely competitive and extremely hard-working, it would be difficult to get ahead.

If a mainland martial arts practitioner has basic skills but no experience, the price can only be one-third of that of a martial arts academy in Xiangjiang.

According to the regulations of the local stuntmen's association, martial arts training costs more than 1,000 yuan a day, and if you work more than 8 hours, you will be charged double.

Such expensive martial arts expenses are beyond the reach of many small and medium-sized film crews.

As a result, I began to receive frequent calls from mainland martial arts practitioners, which offended many of my colleagues at the time.

They believe that if they had not stopped them early, these "high-quality and low-priced" mainland counterparts would have only used one-third of their wages, or even less, and quickly become the mainstay of the Xiangjiang martial arts.

Therefore, martial arts practitioners like Uncle Ping who were marginalized returned to the mainland to develop elsewhere.

Fortunately, within a few years, the film and television industry in Xiangjiang was gradually declining, while the filming of film and television dramas in the mainland became more and more prosperous.

People like Uncle Ping who had the opportunity to come into contact with real Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies have become hot commodities in mainland martial arts circles.

They may be just stand-ins for celebrities, or some minor roles, but no one can ignore them.

Because they only directed a few minutes of fighting movies, and it was because of those scenes that they produced one wonderful drama after another.

The current Wu San and his team had received help from Xuanwu Skills Company and were able to successfully enter this industry.

What's even more rare is that Uncle Ping's management of them is very loose, allowing them to make a living under the brand name of Xuanwu Stunt Branch, and only collects a small part of the management fee every year.

Once there is a performance accident or a lawsuit, Xuanwu Stunts will even help.

Even though Wu San didn't say what kind of deep relationship they had with Uncle Heping, Liu Qingshan could also sense that there was something unusual between them.

"There are a lot of you in this crew, right?"

Wu San answered Liu Qingshan's question: "In addition, we have more than 20 people, but we still have all the money!"

Liu Qingshan raised the question in his heart: "Why not call more people?"

"Shanzi, you don't know. The threshold for this industry is extremely low. Most of them come from martial arts teams, martial arts academies or sports academies. They already have a certain foundation in kung fu, but they are like a blank slate and have no shooting experience. Martial arts in the mainland,

Generally, you get on the bus first and then buy the ticket, which makes the quality of personnel in this industry mixed. According to Liao Xin's idea, we are very strict in recruiting people."

Liao Xin went on to say:

"The income of martial arts practitioners may be the highest among the grassroots staff behind the scenes, but the execution of some dangerous actions is inseparable from careful design and perfect protection. In many cases, only some more professional teams can take over

When the time comes, there is a shortage of work in the new martial arts industry. In order to make ends meet, they will even take on some nightclub performances. Someone once set up a special project where you can punch someone to relieve your anger for 100 yuan a minute."

Wu San took over: "What Liao Xin means is that these people mix with the messy people in society for money, and it is difficult to manage them. Once there is one more person like this in the team, sooner or later they will be

The bad atmosphere has led to bad things!”

"So, they urgently need a set of techniques like the 36-hand Flower Fist to consolidate their current position. Brother Shanzi, do you understand?"

This is where Ma Shengli pointed out the core of the problem in one sentence.

Liu Qingshan naturally understood that the 36 moves of Huaquan were very different from various martial arts moves that are popular today, both in terms of the exquisiteness of the moves and the outstanding visual appeal.

And it is far more real than those showy martial arts movements, which means it is more proficient in actual combat self-protection.

For example, a dangerous action involving falling from a high altitude can be performed with the 36-hand movement of Huaquan, which can greatly reduce the actor's self-protection ability, and the action is even more exquisite.

"That's good, it saves me from finding a more suitable name when I join this crew!"

Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up and he quickly found his position.

Others also understood the meaning of his words. Wu San nodded repeatedly:

"You can serve as the martial arts instructor of our stunt team. Based on this position, I can propose to the crew a higher salary for my brother!"

Liu Qingshan shook his head:

"Professor, this is our personal relationship. Besides, why should the crew give me a separate fee? I think we should wait until they see my personal abilities. Can you take me to see you now?

Deputy director?"

He knew in his heart that a person like him, who was a minor player, was not qualified to meet the director himself.

The assistant director mentioned is not a real director, but a miscellaneous assistant director among several assistant directors who is only responsible for recruiting extras.
