I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Chapter 289 Once you place your bet, you can’t look back. This person is a bit expensive!

Sumu took Vin Diesel around the field.

On the first lap, he did not step on the accelerator to death. He just passed several corners in the venue steadily at normal speed.

Although the venue here is not a professional racing track, it is quite large because it is a suburban area, and it has everything you need.

Thousands of meters of straight road.

There are also large roundabout curves, some S-turns, etc.

Basically, it can meet the requirements for practicing various skills.

After one lap, Vin Diesel got out of the car.

In his opinion, Su Mu's driving skills have nothing to do with the death-defying sport of 'drag racing'.

If it's just this level, then you really need to practice more, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the needs of future filming.

"Su Mu, you may not be familiar with it yet, but we have time, so you can practice more. You know, the role of Brian needs to show drag racing skills."

Su Mu did not get out of the car. He held the steering wheel and looked at Vin Diesel through the window: "I know, so I will keep practicing here later. If there are additional expenses, I can pay for them."

After hearing this, Vin Diesel couldn't help but laugh: "Hey bro, unless you drive the car and scrap it, it will just be gas money, but these are nothing to me, so practice hard."

In fact, it's not that Van Diseldo is generous.

But because after Su Mu took him for a lap just now, he roughly knew Su Mu's background.

At best, it’s like having a driver’s license, or it’s a little more stable than having a driver’s license.

But driving steadily does not mean that your driving skills are great. Safety factor is not necessarily related to your driving skills.

When he first got in the car, he was really prepared to sprint 200 miles.

He likes excitement.

But Su Mu just drove in a circle like a joyride on the field, which made him somewhat miscalculated.

And precisely because he felt that Su Mu had no skills, it was impossible for him to make too many technical moves that would cause damage to the vehicle.

That's why he said generously and let Su Mu practice as he pleased.

Driving like this will only waste gas at most, and this little money is really nothing to him.

If you just drive casually, in his opinion, you won't be able to drive much.

What's more, you always have to eat and rest. You burn a few hours every day, and it's such a steady practice, so there's nothing to worry about.

inside the car,

Su Mu gave Vin Diesel a thumbs up to express his gratitude, then released the handbrake and continued the second lap of practice.

Look at the taillights of the car going away.

Vin Diesel suddenly had an indescribable feeling. Looking carefully, he might be surprised, but of course, he was also a little disappointed.

Because he came to Su Mu because he had read his information before.

He climbed snow-capped mountains, learned kung fu, worked professionally, and flew airplanes to make movies.

It is precisely because of such a crazy resume that Vin Diesel thinks that Sumu is a man who can create miracles with him.

As a result, this round was completely different from what he thought.

At least Su Mu was driving, which was really unsatisfactory.

"God, don't joke with me. If he is a man who is crazy for filming, shouldn't he drive 300 miles? Even if he slams on the accelerator when cornering, this is what the role of Brian should be. Looks like..."

Vin Diesel felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, a group of staff behind him also came over.

"I thought this Sumu was going to go very fast, but it turned out to be a joyride?"

"Are we looking for the wrong person? Or maybe Mr. Sumu's talent is not in driving?"

"Perhaps China has packaged him, so what the media hyped is not true. In fact, this Su Mu is not as powerful as the rumors say."

"What...what should we do? Although we can use a stand-in then? But it will definitely affect the shooting effect."

"Boss, what do you think? Could it be that we really chose the wrong person? To be honest, it might be a bit troublesome for him to even play a supporting role in Haolaiwu, let alone us."

now,

People around seemed to have more or less doubts about Sumu.

Of course, these are completely understandable.

After all, in the United States, where the film industry is so developed, they really have no shortage of good actors. You can even ask them for any request, and they can almost satisfy it.

In this case, Vin Diesel still found an Asian-faced actor to be the protagonist of this movie, which made many people a little confused.

They don't know what the advantages of this sumu are.

As early as a long time ago, some people within the company had questioned Vin Diesel's choice.

It's just that the company happened to be encountering difficulties at that time, and Haolaiwu was not optimistic about them.

Only then did he decide to take a different approach.

However, now that the sword is coming, it seems to be a bit too big.

Listening to the questions from the people around him, Vin Diesel thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe it's because of him that he came to us. He is not accustomed to the climate. Everyone will have this kind of time. It takes time to go from stranger to proficiency, and This is just the beginning, isn’t it?”

"But he gave us the feeling that he was not qualified for the role of Brian."

"If it's really just starting out, I think it will be very bad. It's very difficult to develop driving skills in a short time."

Vin Diesel nodded: "I know, but now that the cooperation has been agreed, it is difficult for us to cancel it, and his influence in Asia will help the box office market to a certain extent."

"But boss, our focus is not the whole world, but the local box office."

"I heard some news recently that a similar movie may be shot in Asia. It is also about racing. It seems to be called Initial D. It is a somewhat famous IP. I heard that it is very popular in Xiaoli. I think This will be a particularly big competitor for us.”

"By the way, Su Mu seemed to be running for office at that time, but in the end he couldn't do it, so he chose us."

Heard this.

Vin Diesel was not surprised.

In fact, he knew about this. At that time, he didn't understand why they didn't choose Sumu.

Obviously, within Asia, Sappan is the best choice.

After looking at the disappeared car, Vin Diesel continued:

“Competition is inevitable in the film industry at all times, and it is impossible to always have smooth sailing.

Just like me, I have been in the American film industry for so long, but I still haven't been able to stand out and win an Oscar.

Therefore, since we choose to take a gamble, we must always believe in our own judgment.

I feel that although Su Mu has not been able to show his advantages yet, he must have something.

Time will tell, just wait and see, and there is still some time before filming starts. "

After Vin Diesel finished speaking, Shuai Xuan turned and left.

The people behind him were silent for a long time.

They know that it is simply a fantasy to want to improve their driving skills by practicing here in a short period of time.

But Vin Diesel has already spoken, and they won't say anything.

He is a person who dares to bet, and when he has already placed his bets, there is really no reason to look back.

…

at this time,

Just after Vin Diesel brought everyone back to the company.

Su Mu drove the car and had already entered the liver proficiency mode.

Just like when he was brushing up his proficiency in China before, he only needs to drive as steadily and fast as possible for one lap, and his driving skill proficiency can be increased once.

In fact, there are many kinds of racing events.

The skills are all different. In addition to hardware technology, more experience is required.

For example, rally racing requires experience in driving on complex terrain.

The formula requires precise control of speed on the track.

As for drag racing, there is actually no such standard sport.

Usually refers to those who like racing and drive beyond the legal limit for the sake of speed.

There is no doubt about the danger.

I usually go out at noon, because something will happen sooner or later.

In fact, this is not allowed in all countries.

But if it is expressed in the form of a movie, it will resonate with the public and stimulate their excitement.

If you want to race, driving skills are inevitable.

And pursuing speed between cities may, from a certain perspective, require more delicate operations.

Familiar ones, such as drifting when cornering, high-speed direction changes, tail flicking, etc.

And if you want to complete these operations, it will definitely not be possible according to Sumu's current LV3 proficiency level.

The most he can do is run a taxi, but if he wants to achieve those extreme skills, he still needs to continue to improve his proficiency.

The week passed quickly.

Sumu has hardly had much activity these days.

Except for occasionally communicating with Vin Diesel, the rest of the time is almost spent going back and forth between the hotel and the driving range.

At the beginning,

The people in Vin Diesel's company didn't think anything about it yet, thinking that Su Mu might just practice casually and it wouldn't take long.

As a result, as the day passed, I realized something was wrong.

Su Mu's driving practice time is getting longer day by day.

At first it was only six or seven hours, but after getting familiar with the venue, it became eight hours, then ten hours, sixteen hours...

The highest record, running on the field for twenty hours continuously!

The car almost ran away and started to smoke.

Vin Diesel and others suddenly discovered that Su Mu's driving practice seemed to be a little different from what they imagined.

You know, practicing driving for more than ten hours a day is probably only possible for professional athletes.

Usually they train players' endurance and mentality.

In a car race, you have to run a lot of laps in one round. If you don't have enough endurance and endurance, it's difficult to achieve results.

But even so, it didn't say twenty hours a day.

And he's just an actor.

…

Buzz!

In the venue, the roar of engine turbocharged could be heard.

It was still the red Mustang. After passing the last straight stretch, it drove to the carport.

[Skill Points +0.01]

[Car skill proficiency LV3: 2499/5000]

Su Mu came down from the top, and then waved to the staff over there: "Charlie, fill up the gas for me."

Charlie is the staff member responsible for the depot and grounds, and is a technician.

Seeing Su Mu throw the key, he said helplessly: "Mr. Su Mu, if you practice like this for a few more days, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to maintain this Mustang."

"Why?"

"Because you are preparing to run away, I always feel that you will have some exciting fun later."

Su Mu smiled: "Don't worry, Vin Diesel said he will pay."

Charlie: "..."

Su Mu is now very familiar with the route, and his growth is visible to the naked eye, which leads to his lap time on the track getting faster and faster.

Charlie and everyone else saw this.

As the speed gets faster, many old car enthusiasts also understand that once there is a breakthrough, most people can't help but play more exciting things.

Because the ordinary speed is fast, it is already difficult to satisfy their desires.

And once they try those difficult tricks, that's the beginning of the car being scrapped.

Now it is just a waste of fuel, but later it will waste tires, wheels, various parts, and even the car.

Charlie was very worried about his boss. After all, he paid for all these expenses.

Ignore Charlie.

Sumu walked straight to the rest area.

At this moment, Little Orange and Master Zhu are waiting for him there, just like they were at the racecourse.

They had already prepared food and were waiting for Su Mu to come and use it when he rested.

Xiao Juzi took a bottle of water and handed it over: "Boss, Mr. Qian just sent a message. He will be here in a week at most."

Su Mu nodded: "Okay, that's right, but before he comes, send him some more specialties. He won't be used to the food here."

Xiao Juzi nodded: "Okay, then you will continue practicing in the afternoon?"

Su Mu picked up the burger and took a bite, then thought about it.

These days, his proficiency has improved a lot.

Driving skills have obviously moved towards a more pure stage.

But just by controlling a faster speed and making some sharper operations, Su Mu felt that he had reached a bottleneck.

When racing, you always have to drift.

While thinking about it, he looked at the man who had always been silent.

Master Zhu has completely changed his style since he came to the United States.

When he was in China, he was low-key, had a steady hairstyle, and even his gold watch was not exposed.

But after I came here, my hair stood up, I put on a floral shirt, my big gold watch sparkled, and I put on my sunglasses, no one fell in love with me anymore.

You know, he is your driver, but you don’t know, you think he is a street guy.

Su Mu recalled the way Master Zhu drove a commercial vehicle to and from the county town while filming in other provinces, and knew that he must be hiding something.

"Master Zhu, you said before that you could drift. Is that true?"

When Master Zhu heard this, he put down the Coke and then nodded: "Yes."

Su Mu: "Great, then you get in the car with me, and I will drift next."

Master Zhu: "Okay."

Little Orange: "I want to get in the car too!"

Su Mu: "Just come if you don't want to vomit."

Little Orange: "Well... forget it."

…

Drifting is a cool car skill.

It seems difficult to operate, but in fact it is not simple either.

Most people are not clear about the accelerator and direction. How much the accelerator is pressed depends on how much the direction is turned. This requires a lot of contact and adds experience and feeling.

After all, there is no way to put a scale on the car for you so that you can accurately measure when turning and drifting to prevent the car from slipping off the track.

And even if you have a ruler, you don't have time to look at it.

Chi! !

The sound of tires scraping against the ground was heard.

This has never happened in the past few days.

"What did he do?"

"Oh my god, I knew he was going to practice drifting!"

"You don't have a coach, so you just do it on your own?"

"!!!"

now,

Charlie and others who heard the sound were all shocked.

And far away,

The person driving the vehicle was not Sumu, but Master Zhu.

Su Mu observed the details from the passenger seat.

Drifting through corners requires high speed and more detailed control of the throttle. This is the essence.

Master Zhu's feet sometimes touched the water like a dragonfly, and sometimes suddenly sank to the bottom.

Just like the size of a faucet switch, there are spans of depth and size.

The throttle cannot be regarded as a power switch, only fully loose and fully open. This is wrong.

Drifting is to use the throttle to control the direction. Once the throttle is controlled, it seems that you don't need to worry about the direction at all. If the rear of the car slides too much, Master Zhu will reverse the direction. If the rear of the car does not slide enough, add more direction.

Watching the leisurely stroll.

Watching Master Zhu's demonstration, Su Mu continued to analyze and summarize.

so,

The deeper the throttle is, the more the rear wheels will slide, the greater the swing of the rear of the car, and the more confrontational the attitude of the body will be with the direction of the front wheels.

The shallower your throttle is, the smaller your rear wheels will slide, and the less obvious the posture of the body and the direction of the front wheels will be.

Use your body to feel the swing of the rear of the car, and you will naturally know whether it is deeper or shallower.

Su Mu: "Nine shallow and one deep..."

Master Zhu gave a thumbs up: "Boss is awesome."

…

It was personally taught by Master Zhu, an experienced driver.

Su Mu started to take action.

The first few times, I either pushed or turned around, making many mistakes.

But as the tires rub against each other, the smell of rubber gets stronger and stronger.

Sumu gradually began to enter the state.

Chi la~
