Fighting wooden dummies is not unique to Wing Chun.
Baji Quan and Wudang Quan also use wooden dummies as training tools.
Depending on the time of inheritance, Wudang might be the first to use wooden dummies, and then other sects will follow suit after seeing good results.
In Chu Xiangqian's memory, there are many movie clips and videos of Wing Chun fighting wooden dummies, and he taught Norton the last time.
As for whether this counts as stealing lessons, let Master Ye and Zhang Tianzhi come to us to decide.
Maybe after the two of them find out, they will feel proud.
I feel that people with Chu Xiangqian's level of skill are interested in Wing Chun. Doesn't it just mean that Wing Chun is very strong?
After Norton finished his warm-up, he walked to the wooden dummy and took a stance. He silently recited the moves he had practiced during this period and remained silent for more than ten seconds before starting to practice.
For a moment, the practice room was filled with the sound of hitting wooden dummies.
Luckily for Ward, he had seen Chu Xiangqian's skills with his own eyes. The woman standing aside looked at Norton and then at Chu Qianqian with confusion and confusion on her face after watching for a while.
After a while, he asked Ward in a low voice, "What's the use of this?"
Ward felt nervous. While practicing martial arts with Norton in London, he, like Norton, had already heard many taboos and rules from many Chinese people.
He hurriedly waved to the woman, led her to the wall, and then said in a very low voice, "Your Highness, please do not question Master Chu at this time.
Otherwise Sir Norton might be driven away. "
Margaret was stunned and asked secretly what kind of rule is this?
Chu Xiangqian's hearing had long been beyond that of ordinary people. When he heard the word "Your Highness," he suddenly thought of several photos in his mind.
The most famous one is naturally the scene of a woman wearing a crown and lying in a bathtub.
In the future, it can be said that the British royal family will be able to support dozens of newspapers just by relying on various negative news.
The truly outrageous members of the royal family are not just the young prince and the 70-year-old prince, the father and son.
It can be said that compared to Princess Margaery, the latter two are not so out of the ordinary.
He was the first to fall in love with a married officer and even almost got married.
The first one married and divorced a photographer.
The first special photo was taken and published, and was even used to blackmail MI5 and the royal family.
Now that Chu Xiangqian recognized who this woman was, many memories slowly emerged.
After thinking for a while and calculating silently, Margery should be in a period of confusion and rebellion because of the officer whose first love she had just married to a Belgian girl.
According to memory, she should have gone to a small island in Da'ao to relax, and then met a photographer.
I don’t know if it was rebellion and revenge, or the photographer really attracted her. The two only knew each other for half a year, and at the end of this year, news of their marriage came out.
Chu Qianqian glanced at this woman who was first sad and then uninhibited when it came to emotional issues.
Then I secretly thought to myself, this is a big trouble.
So when he taught Norton later, Chu Xiangqian changed his previous casual attitude and had no intention of practicing it himself.
Instead, he scolded Norton several times with his harsh attitude. In Margaery's view, Chu Xiangqian was not only rude, but also extremely conceited and even arrogant.
Norton was stunned by the scolding. If it were someone else scolding him like this, this kid would definitely throw up his sleeves and walk away, or even start a fight.
But when he thought of Chu Qianqian's tyrannosaurus-like strength, Norton didn't even have the guts to leave.
Moreover, as he scolded and scolded, he began to feel that the master was beginning to recognize himself. Otherwise, how could he be so harsh?
Only Ward slowly understood that Chu Qianqian was deliberately being rude and impolite in front of Margaery.
He secretly thought that Chu Xiangqian was very powerful, even if he was close to Margaery, there seemed to be many benefits.
But as long as those who truly know the suffocating rules of the royal family, even nobles, will take the initiative to stay away from this circle.
When Chu Xiangqian scolded Norton for the third time, Margaery couldn't stay any longer. While Chu Xiangqian was talking about taking a break, she hurriedly signaled to Ward to leave.
Ward nodded, and while leading Margaery out of the practice room, he whispered, "Your Highness, Sir Norton should let him understand that taking the initiative to stay away from Chu is the most correct choice."
Margery thought about it and felt that Norton wouldn't be able to endure it for long, and the so-called kung fu master only cursed and didn't beat him or do any other unusual actions.
He said hurriedly, "Then I'll go back to the hotel first."
Ward naturally wanted Margaery to go back, and he didn't have to worry about security issues.
After watching the convoy leave, Ward breathed a sigh of relief.
When they returned to the practice room, they saw Chu holding hands and teaching Norton how to use a short stick.
Although he still scolded Norton for being too stupid, it was not as harsh as before.
By the way, he would occasionally give a few compliments, which immediately made Norton seem to forget how badly he had been scolded just now.
Ward was now convinced that Chu Xiangqian had done it on purpose just now.
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself that Norton still lacked exercise, was a little timid, and was not very bright.
He actually didn't realize that he was being used by Chu.
After secretly returning, he still had to take the initiative to mention this matter to Lord Mountbatten.
But within a few seconds, Ward suddenly felt something in his mind. If Norton turned into an old fox, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to get along?
On the contrary, employers who are not so smart are the best employers.
For a moment, Ward felt that he should take the initiative to contact Chu Qianqian.
From now on, I will trade Chinese antiques and European and American oil paintings so that I can get some benefits from them.
If Chu Xiangqian knew what Ward was thinking, he would sell him immediately.
In his eyes, Norton is just a child who has not grown up. There is no benefit in coaxing him. If he is seen through, he will not feel better when facing Mountbatten's anger.
That old guy dared to fight with people with a gun, and he had just become the supreme commander of the Ying Kingdom's military last year.
In the coming years, his influence in England will not be worse than the first one.
You would be a fool to offend Mountbatten just for a little money.
It can be said that Mountbatten was at the height of his power at this time, and even the chief minister in Downing Street would tremble in his heart when he saw him.
Moreover, there are still many nobles serving in the government. Anyone who wants to settle in Downing Street will definitely need Mountbatten's support.
Of course, it wouldn't be a big problem if I was really offended. After all, I didn't do anything to Norton.
But Chu Xiangqian was worried that he would lose an excellent channel to exchange for a large number of antiques and foreign oil paintings.
Just 10 Picasso oil paintings will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.
After teaching Norton a few offensive and defensive moves with a short stick, Chu Qianqian let him practice by himself, checked the time, and then asked him to attack him with all his strength after half an hour.
As Norton continued to fight, he suddenly realized that the best way to progress was to actually fight with others.
And I don't have to worry about whether I will hit my master, or whether my master will make a mistake and hurt me.
While I was envious of Chu Xiangqian's skills, I secretly thought that it would be great if I could live in Hong Kong Island forever.
More than an hour later, Chu moved forward and swatted Norton's hand away, grabbed Norton's collar with one hand, and threw him two meters away.
He smiled and said, "Okay, today's training is done. I will take you to wash up, change a set of clothes, and take you to eat tiger meat at noon."
Norton, who was lying on the ground, was stunned. He had been feeling weak because he had been practicing for more than an hour, but he immediately felt energetic.
He got up with a smile, told Ward to go to the car to get the clothes he had prepared, and he quickly went to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Chu Xiangqian also changed into a suit and took Norton and Ward to drive his car to Guangzhi.
During this period, Norton said unintentionally, "Master, can the short stick moves you taught me be used with a cane?"
Chu Qianqian thought for a while and nodded. The English liked to pretend to be gentlemen with a cane. It was indeed normal for Norton to have this idea.
But after nodding, he slapped his head fiercely, why didn't he think of the telescopic stick, that is, the swing stick?
The world's first telescopic stick was invented by Germans in the 1940s.
But the stick is more like a spring stick than a swing stick.
The bottom is equipped with a spring, and when in use, a section will pop up when the button is pressed.
But just thinking about it, you will know that not only is the design defective, but the large number of parts also means it is prone to failure.
So much so that after World War II and throughout the 1950s and 1960s, telescopic sticks basically disappeared.
The real swinging stick didn’t take shape until the 1980s.
If I were to specialize in producing this stuff, the official order alone would be enough for the factory to ramp up operations for many years.
Now comes the problem, patents.
Although even with a patent, it cannot prevent other countries and many factories from imitating it.
But with a patent, at least for official purchases, you have to pay yourself royalties.
I secretly said that I had to talk to the barrister Huang Weixin about this matter.
At noon, he had a meal with Lard Boy, Xiashan Bao, and Hong Xing Jiang. Chu Xiangqian's discussion with the three of them went smoothly.
Anyway, it is impossible and there is no reason for me to stop others from making movies, so I might as well lead all these people into the big pit of movies.
Whether they make a profit or lose money has nothing to do with them. They just need to play the movie in their own theaters and earn the booking fee.
Moreover, during the meal, Chu Xiangqian repeatedly said that if the plot in the movie was too excessive or the scale was too large, he would definitely cut it out.
Or let them show it in other cinemas.
The three of them, Lardboy, also know that the public screening of movies must take into account the feelings of the media and the audience.
For movies that are truly outrageous, they will play them in outdoor theaters.
Moreover, not to mention DVDs at this time, even video recorders had only been invented less than 4 years ago. Video tapes were not only extremely expensive, but video recorders were far from being popularized.
So just for the sake of box office and more viewers, Lardboy and others didn't dare to go too far.
After sending off Xia Shan Bao and Hong Xing Jiang, Chu Xiangqian took Lard Boy to another box.
Norton and Ward, who were full after eating again, immediately became interested when they heard that Chu Xiangqiang would be watching the filming of the movie on the set in the afternoon.
Chu Qianqian brought Lard Boy over, the purpose was to let him see how flattering Norton, this little English guy, was in front of him.
After an afternoon's experience on the set, Lardboy and Chu Xiangqian separated and immediately ran to Lei Luo's house.
Chu Xiangqian took Norton, Ward, the director, cameraman, Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao, Aji, Sanjiang Shui and others to see the rough edited plot that had been developed after several days of shooting.
He smiled and asked Norton, "How do you feel?"
Norton nodded hurriedly, "Master, I think if this movie is released in England, the box office will not be low. At least young people like me will like it very much.
Just language is an issue. "
"It's easy to handle." Although there are not many people speaking English on Hong Kong Island, they are by no means few.
Moreover, in the real world, Uncle Long's movies have been translated into English since the late 1970s, and then made into video tapes for distribution abroad.
The effect is surprisingly good.
Otherwise, Uncle Long would not have dared to ask for a salary of 2 million in the early 1980s.
If it were just the local box office in Hong Kong Island, the investors would not earn as much as Uncle Long.
But who let him have the market in island countries and Southeast Asia, and the second one is on the video tape, and the sales data are also very impressive.
This allowed him to not only ask for sky-high remuneration, but also dare to be the first to produce a movie worth 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
The director, starring actors and others on the side all became excited after being translated by someone who knew English.
As long as it is translated into English, not to mention being released in Europe and the United States, but just sent to Ah San, the box office may be one to two million.
Although there are movies with over one million box office in Hong Kong Island at this time, there are only a few in a year.
If the box office is a hit everywhere, the entire crew will benefit.
It was about their own jobs and futures. During the subsequent filming, all the crew members were as if they had been given blood.
Chu Xiangqian took Norton to a southern Cantonese restaurant for dinner in the evening. Norton also said for the first time that he wanted to stay in Hong Kong Island.
Ward was so frightened that he almost lost his temper. Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "It's just like that after staying for a long time. It's better to go to school in England and come over for a while after the holidays.
This will not delay your studies, reunite with your relatives, and maintain more curiosity and fun of exploration. "
Norton thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. He smiled and said, "Master, can I go to the set more often these days?"
Chu shrugged forward and secretly thought that if Norton liked it, he could ask him to help introduce a few movie theater owners. It would be much easier for "Snake" to be distributed in England.
It will be easier to wait for the first film to open up the market and then release it in the future.
You can even distribute it to him for free.
As long as Kung Fu movies open up the European and American markets, there is no need to worry about studios not coming to Kung Fu movies in the future.
After sending Norton and Ward back to the hotel, Chu Qianqian immediately started drawing drawings of the stick swing after returning home.
Then I called Barrister Huang Weixin and made an appointment to meet at the law firm tomorrow.
Only then did he have the time to focus on the novice village.
Enter the Novice Village, ride on the red rabbit, carry the gun and kill all the wild monsters that were spawned last night.
This time, because of the antiques brought by the Mountbatten family, after the aperture was expanded to 48.5 meters, not only the refresh points of the wild boar, blind bear, and horse were revealed.
There is actually a long fence even further south of the horse's spawn point in the south.
This was the first outdoor building outside Novice Village. Chu Xiangqian's first thought was that it would be great if this was a stable.
For the three horses that will be refreshed in the future, you will not have to keep the horses that were refreshed yesterday and not kill them, which will affect the refresh of the next day and earn less experience.
Of course, if it was a horse with no economic value such as a pony or a Mongolian horse, Chu Xiangqian would still kill it.
But if there are Arabian horses, sweathorses and thoroughbred horses, they can be raised in stables first, so they don’t have to be brought to reality every three days and transported to the racecourse.
Unfortunately, the aperture only revealed a long section of the fence. If I wanted to reveal it all day long, I would have to get some more antiques and store them in the Novice Village warehouse.
Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry. Anyway, the real racecourse had not even started construction, and even the land had not been obtained yet.
Use a lock cover to take one of the three horses that was spawned today, a black Arabian horse, back to Novice Village for free range.
The other two are naturally killed to gain experience.
Then he rode Chitu to the south of Xinshou Village. Five coconut trees and two durians were newly planted on the river road. Chu Qianqian was not in the mood to start a fruit business yet.
And there are only 15 coconut trees and 3 durian trees, which is not enough to collect in a month.
It's better to keep it until the end of the year and sell it all together.
Attention quickly focused on the big fish that kept jumping out of the water in the river.
In the past, 400 kilograms of fish were caught every day. This time, after the aperture was expanded to 48.5 meters, Chu Xiangqian knew from just visual inspection that the number of fish refreshed every day had increased by about three to four hundred kilograms.
Sure enough, after swiping all the fish, 800 pounds appeared in the personal space.
24,000 per month is equal to 12,000 kilograms, which is equal to 12 tons.
All of them are made into dried fish, weighing at least 20,000 kilograms.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like much.
At most, it is equivalent to the catch of a medium-sized fishing boat going out to sea.
But if we only count the net income, these fish without cost may be worth the profits of five medium-sized fishing boats.
Chu Xiangqian carefully calculated that the 80 cents per catty here in Hong Kong is actually only 19,200 yuan a month.
Ni Ma only has 230,000 yuan a year, but if you think about it carefully, the net profit of some medium-sized companies here on Hong Kong Island really is not 200,000 yuan a year.
Then Chu Qianqian looked towards the woods to the north.
The woods to the north of the village now look a bit like a forest.
Chu Qianqian carefully checked in the woods and finally determined that there were 10 chestnut trees, producing 100 kilograms of chestnuts in one day.
There are 10 jujube trees, 10 pear trees, 10 cherries, and 10 peach trees. What surprised Chu Qianqian the most was that there were actually 10 breadfruit trees unique to Southeast Asia.
The fruit starch content of this thing is very rich.
When eating, you only need to bake, steam, or fry it, and the taste will be similar to bread or potatoes.
Moreover, a bread tree can bear 200 fruits a year, making it the most productive fruit tree among all edible plants.
Chu Qianqian looked at the 10 15-meter trees covered with breadfruit. After getting excited, he used a gathering technique on the fruit trees.
In an instant, 50 fruits, weighing about five to six kilograms and as big as volleyballs, appeared in the storage compartment.
After collecting all the remaining 9 trees and getting a total of 500 fruits, I hurriedly left the woods and rode the red rabbit back to Novice Village.
