313: Chapter 310 Meeting
After all, there was no rule here stating one had to stay from start to finish. In fact, ever since Li Changsheng had displayed his unrivaled strength on stage, many contestants had already returned to rest.
Li Changsheng had stayed until the end only with the intention of learning and gaining experience.
Although many of the subsequent fighters could at best be considered skilled, it was still good to witness a variety of different fighting techniques.
Checking the time, Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Master Chen, Master Zhang, you must be tired from watching. Thank you both for keeping me company; let's head back to rest now.
We can also check on Master Wan while we're at it; he should have everything sorted out by now."
Upon hearing this, both men's expressions turned somber. They had just inquired earlier and learned that Wan Qianhe had fallen unconscious after leaving the stage.
It was unclear whether it was due to the intense shock or the severity of his injuries.
But there was no denying that Wan Qianhe was finished from this point on. Even if he could regain his confidence, it was feared that most of his martial arts ability would be gone.
For a master of leg techniques, having his supporting leg crippled was a blow... most people would probably go insane on the spot. It was akin to a football superstar having their supporting leg destroyed.
The group did not hesitate any longer and stood up. Most of the other Martial Masters nearby had already left.
As the three of them left the lounge and entered the rear corridor, they saw a group of people walking towards them from inside the passageway.
Li Changsheng had originally intended to bypass these people, but it seemed this group was specifically looking for him.
"Li! Li, wait a moment. You have some friends here to see you."
The staff member leading the group waved with a smile. Li Changsheng noticed the dozens of people behind him, and when he saw Zhou Guoli trailing at the very back, he understood.
Although he didn't know how Zhou Guoli had managed to sneak in, taking the back door was quite common in this place. He had heard that staff members often brought fans in to interact with fighting experts.
Take Odoba, for example; he was a big star here. It was said that every time an arena match ended, a large group of fans would come over.
Li Changsheng took a quick glance and realized it really was a fan meet-and-greet. There were dozens of people, all looking at him with excitement.
Furthermore, many of them were female fans with curvaceous figures, each one looking extremely hot.
There was no shortage of big-name stars, all of whom were famous figures one could see on the movie screen.
Among them was Scarlett.
Everyone appreciates beauty, but Li Changsheng merely admired them casually before shifting his focus to several Chinese Kung Fu stars.
After casually dealing with the female fans, quickly signing a few autographs, and declining photos, Li Changsheng finally saw Brother Jie, Brother Hong, and Brother Dragon, who all looked very excited.
"Brother Jie, Brother Hong, Brother Dragon, I'm a fan of your movies."
Li Changsheng said with a chuckle. In the past, he might have been very excited to meet these stars, but now, he felt quite indifferent.
Everyone seemed to have the same head, two hands, and two legs.
"Master Li, you are a true expert. We watched your martial arts earlier; it was amazing! It's top-tier!"
Brother Jie spoke first, giving a thumbs-up with a smile, his aged face full of excitement.
He was considered half of an old-school martial artist; seeing someone practice Chinese Kung Fu to the level of those Seniors from the past, his excitement far surpassed that of others.
"Brother Jie, you are top-tier too!"
Since everyone likes to be complimented, Li Changsheng also gave a thumbs-up.
The three kung fu superstars before him had indeed put a lot of effort into promoting Chinese Kung Fu.
"Master Li, our time here is limited. Actually, there is something we'd like to ask you. Your martial arts, in our view, are miraculous. We were wondering if you have any interest in making a cameo in our movie? Of course, if you are interested in developing a career in the film industry, we would certainly push for it and exhaust all resources to build a platform for you."
Seeing the staff in the distance constantly checking their watches, Brother Jie didn't engage in too much pleasantry and got straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng understood and shook his head after only a brief moment of thought.
"Brother Jie, Brother Hong, Brother Dragon, forget about making movies. I might be returning to my country soon, so I'm afraid I can't help with movies. If you have films in the country, I might be able to make a cameo when I have time, but as for the film industry, that is not where my ambitions lie."
Li Changsheng had no interest in the film industry; he only said that because he saw that these individuals had contributed to martial arts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have even mentioned making a cameo.
"Alright! Alright, Master Li, having your word is enough. As long as you are willing to come, we will definitely give you a role that isn't too complicated."
Having received permission, Brother Jie nodded repeatedly. He knew very well what level such an expert was at; being able to agree to a cameo was already very rare.
Seeing this, Brother Hong and Brother Dragon also hurriedly shook hands with Li Changsheng, and the four of them took a photo together.
Seeing these big stars acting like fans at this moment, Li Changsheng couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
However, if one were to calculate by the standards of the old society, actors really did have a lower status than martial artists.
As the saying goes, regarding the various social strata and the Eight Trades inside and outside the Jianghu, one's status and level were completely different.
The rules were strictly enforced. In ancient times, actors were considered the lowest of the low, and the Eight Trades didn't rank very high either, which goes to show the attitude people had towards actors in the past.
After the few kung fu superstars left, Li Changsheng interacted with several more fans.
If one looked carefully, one could discover that as time went on, the frequency of Li Changsheng's interactions increased.
At first, he would just perfunctorily say a few words, but later on, he would agree to photo requests, and even hug, shake hands, and chat with them.
By proceeding gradually like this, everything appeared very natural.
It was only after completing what looked like a very ordinary meeting with Zhou Guoli that Li Changsheng caught up with the pace of Master Chen and Master Zhang.
"Master Li, you have completely made a name for yourself. I think you shouldn't return to the country in the future. Just fight in the arena here; you'll gain both fame and fortune. Fight for seven or eight years, then return to the country before your physical condition declines. By then, you'll have enough connections and money to retire completely."
Chen Youcai said with a chuckle, his face full of envy.
In his view, this place was full of international big shots, and he had even seen those kung fu superstars. This kind of networking was a huge hidden asset, whether domestically or abroad.
"Hehe, I don't have that intention. People say the moon is rounder abroad, but I think the one at home is rounder. I prefer my hometown; I'm just not used to it here."
Li Changsheng chuckled and shook his head, while Zhang Zhao, who was on the side, gave him a meaningful look.
The trio's positioning at this moment was also quite interesting; originally, the two of them were surrounding Li Changsheng in the middle.
But Zhang Zhao had walked to the middle at some point and was now slightly half a step ahead.
Walking out of the corridor, the group got straight onto the military bus and began heading towards the research institute.
