697 Cao Xuan: I'm Nearly Forty, and Some People Still Miss My Body(1/2)
Daxing, famous horse farm
Cao Xuan rode his horse and suddenly set off his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the target about twenty-five meters away from the side of the road.
The arrow lost very quickly and steadily on the target. Although it did not hit the bull's eye, it was not far from the same distance.
"Good arrow."
Several onlookers were exclaiming, and Cao Xuan turned around, looked at the target, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What a good archery technique? Within thirty meters, you can only enter the door by riding and shooting with a hundred shots."
This can be hidden from others, but it cannot be hidden from Wu Jing, who was born in a martial arts family.
"You are too modest. Riding and shooting is difficult. You can be an elite cavalry in ancient times."
"If you are an elite cavalry, I'm good at relying on the bow."
Cao Xuan knew that he had met a master, and his archery teacher was very good at it. He looked at the target of the arrow that was not much bigger than a matchbox. He rode a horse and shot, and three arrows hit the bull's eye.
My level may be good in my amateur, but compared with those experts, I am polite to be a beginner.
Ignoring Wu Jing and the others, Cao Xuan rode a horse and shot for several more rounds. Although not many people hit the bull's eye, they were also hitting the target.
Archery is a sport that Cao Xuan just fell in love with in the past two years because when he played "Hawkeye", he conducted a lot of targeted archery training in order to film.
Later, after the filming of the movie, he never gave up. He practiced in his spare time. After a while, he slowly felt the charm of these sports.
Originally, it was just for the sake of filming, but later I really fell in love with it. I just gestured and even built an arrow room at home.
Cao Xuan, who had always loved riding horses, now likes archery again. How could he not have the idea of riding and shooting?
So I specially hired a teacher. I practice walking and shooting at home, and when I have time, I come to the horse farm to ride horses, and by the way I practice riding and shooting.
After Cao Xuan raised a horse, he was quite concerned about it. His riding skills were naturally fast and his foundation was very solid. He also laid the foundation for his riding and shooting. He was in good health and was a little stuttering after just learning. After a long time, he also gained something.
"It seems that next time I can practice a target of 30 meters."
After practicing for more than half an hour, Cao Xuan took a break and wondered whether to increase the difficulty next time.
He originally had a hobby + filming needs, and was willing to work hard, but he didn't seek to be very good. He could just hit the target, and he didn't want to shoot the bull's eye.
He doesn't participate in the competition, mainly because he has a sense of accomplishment and is handsome enough...
After turning over and dismounting, Cao Xuan slapped at his "Wuqi" and didn't forget to praise him a few words. Wuqi rubbed him affectionately, and then sniffed comfortably.
This Arabian horse is in his early 10 years old this year, and for a horse, he is already middle-aged.
He has been following Cao Xuan for six years since he entered the horse farm in 2008. The two have a close relationship. Although the horse farm also has some descendants, Cao Xuan only rides a turquoise every time he comes to the horse farm.
When the two interacted, Wu Jing also led the horse over, looking at Wu Qi a little jealous, but he never thought about speaking.
Although mounts cannot be compared with your wife, not everyone can ride them.
In addition to the exclusive staff of the horse farm and Cao Xuan himself, as well as Cao Xuan occasionally took his two children around, he had never even rode much in the East and West Palaces.
Not to mention others. Wu Jing and Yu Jian have a good relationship and have joined the other party’s horse farm. Sometimes they come to Cao Xuan’s horse farm to play, but in the past few years, I have never seen anyone else ride a Wuzhi.
Not to mention the black hair, sometimes Cao Xuan was in a good mood, and they rode the straight bloodline of the black hair, which was considered as God had opened his eyes.
Wu Jing remembered that during the Chinese New Year this year, Yu Jian bought something good for Cao Xuan to coax his father-in-law, which made Cao Xuan feel relieved and opened Wu Jian's son to Yu Jian for an afternoon.
Good guy, this made Uncle Yu very happy.
The smile on his face didn't stop for three days. During that time, Jiantian found a group of friends to have dinner and brag about showing off.
As a result, I got drunk too much and caught up with the commercial performance at night. I was so drunk that I turned my head and turned all over. This made the little black fat man suffer. The whole crosstalk was about clouds and mountains and mist, and I almost died on the stage...
Wu Jing's hot eyes made Wu Qi feel a little uncomfortable, and he turned his head to avoid it. The latter scratched his nose awkwardly, but his steps did not move.
When Cao Jun saw this, he raised his eyebrows and realized: "Is there anything to ask me for?"
He said that Wu Jing was strange today. Not long after he arrived at the horse farm, the guy called and said he wanted to come over. It was obvious that he had found someone to get a message and came to block him.
"It's not interesting, either."
Wu Jing's eyes were slackened, and Cao Xuan was surprised: "How come you get married? You are so squeaky."
In May this year, Wu Jing married his girlfriend Xie Nan. Cao Xuan was making an album and was also present to congratulate him.
If it weren't for the fear of stealing the limelight and the child was in elementary school, with his relationship with Wu Jing, he might be able to be his best man again.
"Hurry up, there is something to say and there is nothing to say."
Cao Xuan couldn't stand Wu Jing's tactfulness, so he kept urging him, so Wu Jing simply made a fuss.
"I want to make a movie."
"Photo."
Cao Xuan replied casually, then quickly reacted, looking at the other person with a strange look.
"You mean...want to be a director?"
After saying that, Wu Jing did not hesitate and gave up, "I have been thinking about this for a long time, which is also a dream for me. I have prepared the book almost all the time. I have always wanted to give you a look.
If you like it, it’s best to invest. But if you don’t like it, I will borrow some money from you with shame. If you make a profit, I will give you a high interest rate. If I lose money, I will make up the holes…”
"Wait, I'm short of your two money."
Looking at Wu Jing who was swearing, Cao Xuan was amused and cried, so he hurriedly stopped the words, so he let him relieve his emotions and chat slowly.
In fact, things were similar to what he expected. Wu Jing had always wanted to be a director. In the past two years, seeing many people succeed in cross-border success, the fire in his heart became increasingly unconcealed.
Wu Jing is actually much more successful than the original time and space.
Wu Jing from the original time and space is actually a bit awkward at this stage. He is not low in fame and has a status, but he is always lukewarm and can only match the group of Xiangjiang actors in some movies.
But the situation is different now. In 2011, "The Raid" starring Wu Jing exceeded 200 million yuan, and she successfully became the leader of the new generation of action stars.
"Rail 2" was released last year. Although the reputation was a bit serious, some people think it is not as good as the first one, and some people think that the fighting scene is more intense and more bloody than the first one.
But the box office was actually much more eye-catching than the first one, with a box office of 420 million, ranking among the top 20 last year's annual box office list.
There are only four people in the action star's appeal at this stage.
Cao Xuan, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhen Zibang
The white-faced baby face of that year, with the wind of the "Rail" series, touched the threshold of a "kung fu superstar" for the first time.

Fanxing even reached a cooperation with Xiangjiang Yindu and Bona and launched the "Shapo Wolf 2" project.
Wu Jing, the first starring actor, also invited Thai boxing champions Tony Jia, Zhang Jin and Zhao Wenzhuo to have another feast of action that is fist to the flesh.
"Shadows 2" has just been completed in the first half of the year and is expected to be released in the summer next year, which will contribute to Wu Jing's path as an "action superstar".
It is precisely because of the existence of "Shas the Wolf 2" that Wu Jing wanted to try directing a movie himself.
He already had an idea in the movie, and Wu Jing had always had a military plot. In the first part of "The Raid", the protagonist group was considered a special forces. The shooting of special combat methods shown in the movie made him shine. He thought about a military + action movie with Chinese military elements.
That's right, Wu Jing hasn't figured out the main theme yet.
Because in the current impression, although the main theme is not a derogatory term, it is not likable in artistic creation.
So Wu Jing didn't think about making the main theme, and focused more on military design and action scenes. "Wolf Warrior 2" is the existence that he truly explored the light of the main theme.
Listening to Wu Jing talking about his various ideas about the movie, Cao Xuan nodded.
"I told you why you suddenly ran into a special forces TV series last year? I started preparing for this at that time."
Movie stars rarely act in TV series. If any happens, it is not a shocking event, but it will also attract widespread attention.
But Fanxing has too many artists like this. In front of him, Fan Xiaopang, who has established his own business, Hu Ge, Da Mimi, Huang Bo, Duan Long, Jiao Enjun and others have also appeared in TV series, so Wu Jing has no sense of existence.
"I also thought about having the opportunity to go to the military camp and then learn how to shoot military dramas, which benefited a lot."
Wu Jing was a little moved and said firmly: "At the same time, I have strengthened my idea. The theme of Chinese special forces is a big deal."
"If you have any trouble, just do it."
Cao Xuan didn't say much, and asked Wu Jing directly how much money he was short of. Wu Jing was a little embarrassed.
"It is estimated that the total investment and publicity should be 150 million yuan. All my savings and my house will be subsidized, and borrow some foreign debts. I can almost raise 80 million yuan. The rest will depend on the company."
"There is not much money, but if you pay for the house, you are not afraid of the whole family sleeping in the streets."
Wu Jing smiled reservedly: "My wife said that if she compensated, she would support me."
Cao Xuan was stuffed with a handful of dog food and kicked him angrily.
"The company's rules have to be reviewed. You can look for Lao Chen after he has passed the other side. Don't borrow foreign debts, and the house... it's better not to pay for it."
Cao Xuan knew that the project "Wolf Warrior" had a high chance of making money. The more Wu Jing invested, the more he made.
So he didn't try his best to stop him. He just told him that if he wanted to bet, he would bet as long as he wanted. It would be fine if he could make a steady move. It was nothing more than making more money.
As long as the project "Wolf Warrior" is completed, Wu Jing will not be short of money in the future.
Wu Jing didn't expect this to go so smoothly and was overjoyed.
To be honest, he knew Cao Xuan's personality, so it would be fine if he didn't have anything else, but he was still very serious about the movie. It was not that easy for him to be a director, and Fanxing didn't invest in all projects.
Friends are friends, and business is business, which is completely different.
