From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

"Today is the first time for us to train. Because you have been exposed to a lot of fighting before, let's get a feel for it and fight a little bit."

Recording scene, filming Xiang Hou’s first training session.

"Want a helmet?"

The coach's words seemed to step on Xiang Hou's tail. He stopped smiling, his eyes were as big as bells, and his face was full of doubts.

"Why wear a helmet?"

"Ah? Don't you wear a helmet?"

"Why wear a helmet?"

At this time, he turned sideways to the camera, as if questioning the staff, and also showed his unique "offensive" temperament, as if being asked to wear a helmet was an insult to him.

"Ah, because this is boxing? Doesn't boxing require equipment?"

The staff outside the camera responded.

Xiang Hou seemed to roll his eyes, but his tone still did not relax, as if the other party said something unreasonable.

"Say it again?"

“Are you telling me again that you need to bring equipment for boxing?”

"Please play Tyson's video."

Good guy, just put it on!

"Where does this person come from?"

Ding Zhi was in the control room in the background, looking at the high-spirited Xiang Hou in the machine display screen, with a slight doubt in his tone.

"Ah? Xiang Hou, the Xiang family!"

The fat black man next to Ding Zhi turned his head in surprise. He could vaguely see that this guy should have a pretty face after losing weight. Although his skin is slightly darker and his body is fat, he doesn't feel greasy at all.

On the contrary, he seemed a little happy.

Surprisingly, it is Buddha Li Xiuyuan.

At this time, he had the same expression on his face as an air-conditioning repairman did when someone asked him what he did for a living.

Not to mention that Ding Zhi was closely connected with the Hong Kong circle, so it was impossible not to know about the Xiang family, and naturally it was also impossible not to know that this man with an arrogant tone was the son of the Xiang family.

Just a few days ago, Ding Zhi just submitted Xiang Hou's relevant information to his desk.

This person is not very popular in the entertainment industry and is a bit confusing to ordinary viewers, but as people in the entertainment industry, everyone knows more or less about this guy nicknamed "The Third Prince".

Of course, the "Third Prince" here has nothing to do with the Third Prince of Dragon Palace who was cramped and skinned.

Rather, it refers to his three corresponding identities.

The first is the rumored prince in Xinji, which is the black prince. The second is the son of Xiang Qiang, the head of the Xiang family in Hong Kong Island Film Industry. He can barely be called the prince of Hong Kong. Finally, he is still called

He is the godson of martial arts superstar Li Yangzhong, the "Kung Fu Emperor", and is also known as the "Martial Arts Prince".

Of course, this thing is just to put money on your face.

Except for the second Hong Kong prince who can barely qualify, the other two feel a bit mechanical.

Not to mention the first one, under the iron fist of China, the so-called largest triad in Asia can only stay humble and stay small.

Of course, as for the two major magical mountains of South Edin and North Gotham that emerged in some unexplainable parallel time and space...

That's another story.

As for the third "Martial Arts Prince"...

His godfather, Li Yangzhong, is well-known at home and abroad as a Kung Fu superstar, and has made great efforts to promote Kung Fu. Regardless of the traditional virtues of "rich wives are easy to make, expensive wives are easy to trade", and the controversy over whether the One Foundation is a scam,

It's actually not wrong to call him the Kung Fu Emperor.

To be honest, from Ding Zhi's current point of view, although Li Yangzhong can be regarded as a Wuying-level athlete, it is normal for his actual combat ability to not be directly proportional to his level...

The reason why Li Yangzhong was so awesome was actually that he was able to perform very beautiful routines, especially his weapon scenes, which were evaluated by many martial arts instructors in Hong Kong at the time as "incompetent".

Chic, good-looking, and highly ornamental!

But in fact, perhaps few people know that after Li Yangzhong suffered a serious waist injury in China, most of his actions were actually performed by Xiong Xinxin

After going to Hollywood to develop his career, Zhao Wenzhuo was promoted as his successor, but he was never able to take up the role.

The reason is that it lacks the natural aura and elegance.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Zhao Wenzhuo's own character, which is another digression.

But when it comes to martial arts, or the actual combat aspect...

Kung Fu Superstars...

Except for Bruce Lee, who brought the concept of kung fu to the world and can be called a great master, the others can only be said to understand it.

Learn more about physical fitness.

So far, Ding Zhi has actually come into contact with not many action stars, including Wu Jin, Tony Jaa, and Wu Yue.

If we really want to compare, Wu Jin and Wu Yue may be able to fight Ding Zhi back and forth in the play, regardless of the outcome.

But in reality, in an unlimited fight without the limitations of routines, Ding Zhi is basically guaranteed to win.

Only Tony Jia, who has been learning ancient Muay Thai since childhood, found it a little difficult.

Comparatively speaking, Xiang Zuo, the "martial arts prince", is a bullshit type.

Ding Zhi glanced at Li Xiuyuan and smiled.

"Of course I'm not asking about who he is. What I'm asking about is... is his weird confidence arranged by our program team?"

After thinking for a while, Ding Zhi came up with the adjective "weird".

In fact, despite Xiang Hou's harsh words, it might not be surprising in normal times.

But you have to know that from the beginning to the end of "Fist", there is only one person who is promoted as the big devil.

That is Ding Zhi.

After Xiang Hou joined "Fighting Power", he wanted to be the "boxing champion in the entertainment industry".

This extremely offensive posture is not only aimed at the opponent, but also a posture to challenge Ding Zhi.

Not to mention that during the recording process, his domineering attitude of "Who else would you rather me?" was even more domineering than Ding Zhi's.

In fact, when Ding Zhi participated in the recording process, he rarely made such remarks without leaving any room. On the contrary, he seemed quite gentle. Even when he was fighting with others on stage, he left some room for it.

After all, if an adult makes a fight with a child and makes it so aggressive, it doesn't mean much, right?

Hearing Ding Zhi's question, Li Xiuyuan shook his head.

"You know me, I never do this in my shows."

After hearing his friend's words, Ding Zhi's smile became even brighter.

"That's really a... suitable rescue guest."

The two looked at each other and expressed their appreciation for Xiang Hou's unscrupulous and clever behavior.

A reality show should not interfere too much with the script. After all, there are so many variety show stars in the industry now. If they were asked to act seriously, they might not be able to understand it.

Don't overestimate their acting skills.

But if there is no conflict, then this show will not be fun to watch.

Let's take the real-life travel variety show "Flowers and Boys" as an example. The second season has the highest ratings. It's full of feuds and palace fights, some with princess disease, strong personalities, crazy criticisms, and rewards.

Excluded from group play,

It's just like raising gu.

Basically, there is something wrong in every other episode, and almost every episode has some irritating points, but the ratings of each episode are frighteningly high.

After the third season came out, everyone felt that the journey of harmony and beauty had changed. The ratings plummeted, which directly affected the fourth season's lack of investment and was directly canceled.

So now that Xiang Houbo has come to power and caused trouble, Ding Zhi and Li Xiuyuan, instead of being disgusted with it, actually enjoy hearing about it.

This is undoubtedly to bring the topic of "Fist to the End"...

…

…

On the other hand, the person most directly affected by Lin Fan's withdrawal was his opponent Xiao Shunran.

As one of the rare heavy hitters among the original twelve artists, Lin Fan actually put a lot of pressure on Xiao Shunran.

As a result, after Xiao Shunran went through arduous closed training for a month, his imaginary opponent immediately withdrew from the competition.

It's like a heavy punch hitting cotton. This feeling is uncomfortable for anyone.

Logically speaking, in a real game, this would be a good thing, after all, no troops would be needed and no one would get a bye.

But the problem is that this is a reality variety show, not a real boxing match, so no one will think so of you.

Then the program team gave him a replacement opponent, but it was Xiang Hou, who claimed to have a ten-year martial arts training career.

This is undoubtedly another level of pressure.

As soon as the trailer and behind-the-scenes footage were released, the focus was naturally on Xiang Hou, the "protagonist" of this issue.

His extremely arrogant and domineering words immediately attracted a lot of attention on the hot search list, causing the popularity of the recent two issues of "Fighting Power" to cool down slightly again.

"I've been waiting for a show like this for a long time."

...

"Confidence and offense are my strengths. I am a very offensive player."

...

"I'm here to win!"

...

"For boxing, you still need to wear a helmet?"

With the encouragement of the program crew, Xiang Hou's extremely arrogant and confident statements were mentioned repeatedly and directly shot up the hot search list.

It also triggered a lot of discussion.

——"Xiang Hou? Who the hell is this? You're so crazy that you can't find anything!"

——"Xiang Hou doesn't know? The Xiang family in Hong Kong Island! The son of Long Wu! He has indeed made several action-packed movies."

——"Isn't it? This is the so-called mysterious action star that we have been looking forward to for a week? This is too disappointing!"

——"It is said that he is Li Yangzhong's godson. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. His tone of voice is quite crazy. Maybe he does have strength."

——"Tsk, you are indeed so arrogant, saying that you want to prove who is the boxing champion in the entertainment industry on this show? This is too disrespectful to take Ding Zhi seriously!"

It has to be said that Xiang Hou's arrogance may have some intentional elements in it. No, the discussion suddenly started.

To be honest, in Ding Zhi's opinion, Xiang Hou was just a local chicken and a tile dog.

But after all, people are like trees. In the eyes of others, Xiang Hou's previous marketing and his "martial arts practitioner" setting are quite deceptive.

Not to mention, whether it is Xiang Hou's beautiful resume or his confident interview clips, many people feel a sense of oppression.

In this atmosphere of increasing popularity, the new episode of "Fist to Fight" is officially launched.

Li Chuang, who has become a loyal audience, has been waiting in front of the computer for a long time.

The first to appear in the women's match is Sun Rui and Yu Wenwen.

To be honest, even after more than a month of training, due to gender disadvantage, the intensity of the boxing match between girls is still slightly inferior to that of boys.

But this does not affect its excitement.

A girl like Sun Rui started out knowing almost nothing, but after several periods of training, she slowly mastered the basics.

From the beginning, when I saw the opponent's fist coming, I would close my eyes and shake my calves, and I would not even hide when I was scared. Now I can grit my teeth and attack my opponent without showing any weakness.

If we want to talk about the level of excitement, girls are naturally slightly inferior to boys.

But when it comes to watching a little girl, gritting her teeth and training little by little, a new girl with an unforgiving mouth and weak hands turns into a heroine in the ring. That kind of arrogance

The satisfaction of success is much better than that of men.

In terms of the current popularity of contestants in this show online, Sun Rui has always been at the forefront.

In this game, Sun Rui finally defeated his opponent and won the game through more calm judgment and handling.

Then, it’s time for the highlight of this episode, the competition between Xiang Hou and Xiao Shunran.

Before the game, there is naturally a communication and chat session.

The host took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.

"Shunran, do you know Xiang Hou's strength?"

Xiao Shunran took the microphone and answered the conversation intelligently.

"You brought Brother Xiang Hou for me to fight. It was too difficult for me. I originally wanted to withdraw from the game. After all, this is my first actual fight!"

Xiang Hou, who was standing aside, nodded coldly.

"Why don't you retreat now!"

Xiang Hou got the microphone, with an awkward smile on his face, but he spoke without mercy.

It's obviously a provocation.

Although before the boxing match started, there was a time to speak cruelly, but I have to say that Xiang Hou's words were somewhat unacceptable.

Xiang Hou's explosive words immediately caused a wave of noise in the audience.

Xiao Shunran's smile froze.

He looked at Xiang Hou.

"Quit now? Then you are overthinking."

Xiao Shunran's reply was still not aggressive, and the corners of his mouth were still raised, but this time there was no smile in his eyes.

The smell of gunpowder came out.

The host quickly smoothed things over.

"Speaking of which, I went to watch Xiang Hou's training yesterday, and he naturally asked the director why he used a helmet."

"I'm sorry, maybe I don't watch amateur boxing matches very often. The ones I watch are all without helmets."

After hearing the host's cue to this point, Xiang Hou was obviously not afraid at all, and once again showed his arrogance with words.

"Okay, finally, do you two have anything else to say to each other?"

Xiang Hou still had the same unruly look, staring at Xiao Shunran, opening his mouth and saying only four words.

"Behave well."

Xiao Shunran also stared at this opponent who made rude remarks again and again.

"Brother Xiang Hou, I know you are very strong, but if you fight too hard, my fists will be very heavy."

The smell of gunpowder came out.

This was the beginning of this game, which seemed to many people to be quite disparate in outcome.

(This variety show has almost come to an end, and it will soon return to Ding Zhi's filming.)
