Ultraman Fighting Evolution

"I heard that you have stage experience and can do karate?"

"Learned a little bit."

"Anyway, let me get you familiar with it first. This is Takuya."

After meeting the director of the troupe, the martial arts instructor called a senior leather actor, a young man named Takuya, while he was busy.

"Hey, newcomer, I'll give you a scene in a minute," the young man threw the script aside and tried to pump his fist. "You just need to learn how to coordinate the movements, you know?"

"The coordinated action is..."

"You really don't know anything," the young man said impatiently, "I have no choice but to let you see other people's performances first."

There happened to be a battle rehearsal on the stage, and the young man led Xia Long and said, "Did you see it? This is, your performance is not so complicated, but you still have to cooperate."

"That's amazing." Xia Long looked at the stage with interest.

The performance was very smooth and it looked like a real fight. The actors must have put a lot of effort into it.

"Of course, stage combat requires a lot of experience. No matter how simple the scene is, it's rare for a newcomer like you to take the stage."

The young man muttered and said to Xia Long: "Let's go, we'll be with you soon."

Following the young man backstage, Xia Long received the script brought separately by the staff.

"Um, excuse me, who is Ultraman X mentioned here?"

"The new hero will be broadcast next month. This is also Ax's first special stage play. Don't you even know this?" The young man frowned and said to the staff, "Wait until he is ready. Just come to the stage, really, why are everyone crowding into the troupe..."

"Don't take it to heart, Tuo is like this." After the young man left complaining, the staff took Xia Long to the props room and helped put on Bemonstein's leather sheath.

"Get used to it first, it might be a little uncomfortable."

"Okay, thank you."

Xia Long jumped around while wearing the leather jacket. He was indeed a little suffocated, but it was nothing serious.

After getting acquainted with it, Xia Long followed the staff to the backstage to audition.

"Xia Long-kun, that's it. Let's rehearse the movements first. When Takuya attacks, you make the movements to be attacked."

"What action?" Xia Long asked.

"Well, to put it simply, it means retreating and falling to the ground." The staff pointed at the script and said, "Look here, you have to fall to the ground in two places."

Xia Long looked at the script: "Don't you need to hide? What about attacking?"

"No, just jump in and get beaten," the staff explained. "The performance lasts 2 to 3 minutes, but the interactive fighting time is less than 1 minute. They are already the simplest actions, so it should be fine, right?"

"One minute...well, it should be fine."

"Although you are the person introduced by Marie, if you don't perform well, the seat leader will still replace you. Go and prepare!"

"Okay." Xia Long nodded and walked onto the stage wearing a Bemenstein leather suit, and the staff quickly arrived.

"First of all, let's start with Ultraman X's appearance," the martial arts instructor explained after pulling Xia Long to the center of the stage. "If you are kicked down by X who appears here, Takuya will come out from here and kick you." When it’s time, just lie down, you know?”

Then he shouted to the backstage: "Takuya, it's time to start!"

"Pounce, make a pounce!"

"What are you hiding from!"

"You won't even get beaten?"

…

The one-minute fighting scene took nearly half an hour just to explain and demonstrate step by step. Xia Long was almost covered in sweat by the time it continued.

I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to cooperate in the fight. I kept dodging in advance, and even had a few reflexes to fight back, almost hurting my opponent Takuya.

During the break, Xia Long took off his holster and took a long breath.

Even without the same power as in the Ultraman world, the fighting instinct cannot be easily changed, which is reflected in the constant mistakes in the performance.

"Hey, let me tell you," Takuya lit a cigarette, looked at Xia Long and puffed out smoke, "it's better to give up, you are not suitable for this, your movements are stiff, and you have no foundation in kung fu. If you continue, you will only make yourself worse." Injuried."

"How do you know you're not good if you don't try? Senior Takuya, this job is very important to me." Xia Long picked up the script beside him and started browsing it again along with the recording of the stage play.

The fight scene was barely passed, so the next rehearsal should be more attentive and treated as a special battle. There is no reason why even this difficulty cannot be solved.

After the break, the staff found Xia Long again.

"Long Jun," the staff said, referring to the script, "This time we will have a three-minute rehearsal. The movements will be performed in conjunction with the sound effects. Have you heard the dubbing?"

Xia Long nodded: "Listen once."

"Time is a bit tight. You will first follow the director's instructions to follow the steps." The staff continued to explain carefully to Xia Long. "Don't forget, after entering the stage, make a circle around the stage. It will take about more than 1 minute. , there will be a prompt for Aix’s appearance, and immediately walk to the middle of the stage after hearing it..."

"I understand, senior, don't worry."

After preparations were completed, Xia Long once again put on the leather cover with the help of the staff and stood behind the curtain on the side to wait.

"Now start the complete rehearsal and dubbing preparation!"

"Bemenstein is in position!"

"Ultraman X's special stage play begins now!"

After a simple opening remarks, Sharon followed the instructions and entered the stage when the sound effects sounded, waving his arms in time with Bemonstein's cry.

"Very well, move on!"

Hearing the director's prompt, Xia Long turned around the stage and finally returned to the edge, almost perfectly coordinating with the sound effects.

Although the fighting scenes were difficult, other aspects seemed quite simple, and the steps and movements easily met the requirements.

"Okay, stop!" After a sound effect, Xia Long raised his arms and paused, waiting for the middle screen to play the appearance of Ultraman X.

"Now start to merge with Ultraman X!"

"X!"

"Continue!"

The rehearsal was quite smooth, and even the subsequent fighting scenes went smoothly, which was completely different from the previous ones, and it was passed in just one go.

After Bemonstan left the stage in the X-Zanadim light sound effect, the director hurriedly called a halt and said, "Well done, did Bemonstan change people?"

"No, no."

"Strange, do it again."

...

"I passed?"

In the lounge, while Xia Long was waiting, he received good news from Marie.

"I knew that Aaron would succeed," Marihui took some time to come over and said happily, "If you perform well next time and join the troupe, Aaron will soon be able to earn enough money to go home."

"Yes!"

Xia Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't find a job, he wouldn't even have money to buy a plane ticket when the police station notified him, and he couldn't always trouble Marihui for living expenses.

Uh, I still have to think about the plot later, so I can't add more
