"Very well, then why don't you try to act Ali in the boxing ring? There's no need for lines. There are no lines in the boxing ring. Just act out his confidence, stubbornness, and unyielding spirit. Of course, the eyes in the boxing ring must be aggressive. It would be better if you also have some professional knowledge, such as the Butterfly Steps … "
Yang Xi said tentatively. He also knew that his request might be a bit difficult. After all, in order to act out the role of Ali, Will Smith also went through a long period of learning. It was impossible for Chen Guang to act it out immediately.
Of course, this was also Yang Xi's purpose. He deliberately found a difficult role for Chen Guang to embarrass him and let him know how powerful it was.
In addition, the first thing a real professional actor learned when entering the industry was to release himself.
This was a public place, and professional actors could quickly get into the mood here.
But Chen Guang was just an ordinary person. No matter how terrifying the theoretical knowledge he had shown before, it could not hide the fact that he had once dragged the entire "Rivers and Mountains" crew into the sun for an afternoon with embarrassment cancer.
Therefore, in fact, Yang Xi's request buried two traps for Chen Guang.
Letting an ordinary person act out a role in the boxing ring in such a public place could stimulate his sense of shame to the greatest extent, but it was also destined that he would act poorly.
The worse he performed, the better. In this way, from tomorrow on, he could tie up this dishonest investor and male lead, so that he would willingly accept his closed-door special training.
Don't look at little brother Yang Xi who is always laughing and joking all day long. In fact, he is also a very dark guy.
Chen Guang stood up and took off the hat on his head, revealing his shiny bald head. He looked around, and the people sitting nearby all looked at him curiously. Then he did not say much, just smiled at everyone, and then lowered his head and said, "Brother Yang, watch carefully."
Yang Xi sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at him with great interest. He really did not expect that this guy would really act without saying anything.
Thinking back to the afternoon when he had almost broken down in order to train Chen Guang's acting skills, Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh. "My Brother Chen Guang, how can you be so brave? I'm not talking nonsense with you. The gap between theoretical knowledge and practice is not just a layer of yarn, but a mountain."
No matter how well-prepared you are, you still need a guide like me to take you across the mountains.
Indeed, geniuses exist in this world, but they are definitely not you.
How am I supposed to pacify him if it gets too awkward?
Forget it, with my understanding of him, he's a thick-skinned person. At worst, he'll just pay the money and run.
Seeing Chen Guang close his eyes and start preparing his character, Yang Xi's mood gradually rose.
He really wanted to know what kind of performance a mysterious "actor", who was rich in theoretical knowledge but lacking in practical experience, could perform in public all of a sudden.
Suddenly, Chen Guang opened his eyes. There was a trace of lingering confusion in his eyes, and a slightly bitter and resentful expression gradually condensed on his face.
Yang Xi still maintained the posture of sitting on the chair, looking at Chen Guang with a rather playful expression.
Sure enough, as I expected, my cancer of embarrassment is about to break out.
You're a boxing champion, a boxing champion who stands in the boxing ring. What the hell is this bitter and resentful expression of yours, as if everyone owes you tens of thousands of dollars?
Then, Chen Guang completely ignored the interference of Yang Xi's eyes. His eyes gradually focused and looked forward. His back slightly arched, his hands raised in front of him, and he took a slightly unprofessional defensive stance of a boxer.
Yang Xi suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. He thought of a scene in his mind, and also recalled some of the life of boxing champion Ali.
There was no doubt that boxing champion Ali was a very complicated person.
His life was full of ups and downs. In his career as a professional boxer, he stood in the boxing ring and shouldered too many things that did not belong to boxing.
He represented the black people who struggled to walk in that environment at that time. In his professional career, in addition to fighting to the death with opponents in the boxing ring, he also had to face too much pressure from his skin color and religious beliefs outside the ring.
He used much more effort than ordinary people, as well as an even more stubborn and strong personality, and finally achieved brilliant achievements in the entire boxing ring under the enormous pressure.
But there was no doubt that he rarely felt happy.
When he was young, he always felt that the world owed him something.
He had clearly won the Olympic gold medal for the United States, and he was a national hero, but he couldn't even eat a simple lunch in a white restaurant. He angrily threw the gold medal into the sea.
The unfair treatment made him even more resentful of the world. With this suppressed anger, he threw himself into the professional boxing arena. He used his angry arrogance to vent the anger in his heart unscrupulously inside and outside the boxing ring.
He shouldered too much honor, but his skin color brought him endless trouble. It was as if no matter how much he achieved, he would only be inferior to others.
He began to be confused, sometimes angry, sometimes self-doubting, and he didn't even know how to prove himself.
In his long career, he had done many things to eliminate racial barriers, and he had witnessed the emergence of the first black president with his own eyes.
But after all, he was confused, and it lasted for a long time.
The boxing champion Ali played by Will Smith would obviously never be able to play the boxing champion's true professional level. He was an actor, not a boxer.
But Will Smith very well captured the mood of the boxing champion when he was young.
At this time, Chen Guang was also playing the young boxing champion who was angry and confused, but hidden in the confusion was stubbornness, and stubbornness made him arrogant to the point of madness.
All of a sudden, Chen Guang made his move. His footwork was clumsy, but it didn't seem like it at all. Chen Guang hopped around the coffee table on his tiptoes.
Yang Xi clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He finally understood the confusion in Chen Guang's eyes at the beginning. The scenes in the movie gradually emerged in his mind, and unconsciously, he merged with the Chen Guang in front of him.
He seemed to see Will Smith again, or perhaps the lousy Ali that was played.
Yang Xi's breathing gradually became rapid.
What … is this situation …
Suddenly!
The leaping Chen Guang took an extra step forward with his right foot, leaned his upper body to the right, and swung his right hook fiercely from the bottom to the top.
But what Yang Xi paid most attention to was the look in Chen Guang's eyes. The moment he punched, the confusion disappeared, and in its place was a decisive and indomitable momentum!
Yang Xi stood up abruptly and took a step back.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds, but he really did it.
In this coffee shop full of strangers and strange looks, he acted like Will Smith's version of Muhammad Ali in the movie!
Chen Guang continued walking, and the anger in his eyes grew stronger. He was clearly just punching the air, but it was as if Sonny Liston was really standing in front of him, the former boxing champion who had fallen under his iron fists.
The strange looks in the coffee shop also changed.
It was really strange. At first, they clearly thought that this person was a madman, but why did it seem like they were watching a real boxing match now?
Where was his opponent?
Where was he?
That's not right. He might be an actor, and he's acting on the set.
Then are we all extras?
The scariest thing about the so-called world-class acting skills was not just that Chen Guang could put himself into the world of the movie.
When he unleashed it to the extreme, the invisible world seemed to use him as the origin and gradually spread out, enveloping the people and objects in the space around him into his world, his domain.
This was the true horror of the highest level of acting skills!
I am an actor!
I am the world!
Welcome to … my world!
The tables in the coffee shop turned into boxing rings. In the air, Sonny Liston was retreating step by step, and Chen Guang's fists were closing in.
Finally, Chen Guang's body came to a stop as he threw out a heavy punch with an explosion in the air.
Everyone was hallucinating. Sonny Liston's phantom seemed to appear in front of him, and then he collapsed.
The newly crowned king raised his hands high, waiting to enjoy the cheers of the world.
Chen Guang looked back, with the frankness and dominance of a young man.
Godly acting skills!
Yang Xi screamed in his heart. His breathing almost stopped, and he even wanted to kneel down just like that.
"Roar!"
"Oh!"
The dozens of people in the coffee shop couldn't help but cheer for him in unison, even though he had clearly only defeated the air.
Yang Xi's body went limp, and he sat on the ground. Before seeing it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe that anyone in the world could reach such a level of acting skills.
If anyone else had done the same thing here, the end result would only be a cancer of embarrassment.
But he … made everyone in the coffee shop live in his play!
"Oh my god, brother! Are you acting as Ali? That's right, I know, you're acting as Ali! Although I haven't seen this movie in ten years, thank you, you brought back memories in my heart! "
At this moment, a strong black man sitting near the two stood up excitedly. "It's too similar, really too similar. Brother, how did you do it? Although your boxing skills are very rusty, and your butterfly steps aren't professional, you really remind me of Will. He's the actor I admire the most, and Ali is the teacher I admire the most. Thank you for showing me the two of them in such a vivid way. You must be the best actor in the world. "
Chen Guang smiled and cupped his hands at the black man. "Ha, thank you, buddy. Come, let's make friends."
Chen Guang raised his coffee, pretending to be wine, and clinked glasses with the people at the table.
Having seen many pretentious "international friends" like Mariana and Powell, Chen Guang had a good impression of this honest black man.
The other black man next to him seemed to be in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
