Chapter 369 Still dreaming of revenge?
However, that gentle touch made Du Sheng's emotions fluctuate, and he almost turned into a giant beast.

If he hadn't considered that he had to go out soon, he would have to "teach" this girl a lesson and make her behave herself.

Gillian Chung didn't want the war to spread to herself, so she picked up the loofah and lean meat and walked into the kitchen.

"It's almost noon. I'll go cook first."

When Ah Sa thought of the outrageous situation last night, she was still frightened and moved away and followed him in.

Du Sheng thought of his business and decided not to flirt with Zhang Baizhi anymore. He just buried his head in her arms.

Nestled in her soft embrace, smelling her delicate fragrance, I asked:

"By the way, you said a greasy man harassed you last night. What happened?"

Zhang Baizhi rolled his eyes at him and said:
“Didn’t you see the rehearsal last night? He just forced his way in. It looks like he has a complicated background.

But he was clearly here to pick up Xu Jinglei, but he didn't care if she was jealous or not, and his eyes always stayed on me. Don't you think that's outrageous?"

"Xu Jinglei?"

Du Sheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Next time you encounter this situation, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

He has to join the filming crew tomorrow, so it has to be put on hold for the time being.

Zhang Baizhi hugged his head and kissed him gently, saying happily:

"Then I'll say you're my boyfriend so those guys won't keep harassing me."

Because of her outstanding figure and appearance, she has been harassed by many people. Fortunately, she has a godmother to help her fend off the harassment in Hong Kong.

But in the mainland, those people with backgrounds cannot be ignored or treated coldly, which makes her feel annoyed.

"You have me under your thumb. Whatever you say is what happens."

Zhang Baizhi ignored Du Sheng's teasing, turned over and sat on his lap, and went back to her old job diligently.

Don't think wrongly, it's a muscle-relaxing massage!
.........

The Seven Kings’ Tomb at Yangtai Mountain in Haidian District, Beijing.

The lights are bright, the machines are roaring, and a big drama is being filmed in full swing.

This is a crucial scene in the movie Kill Bill 2.

The crew arrived in Beijing three days ago and were busy setting up various props and machines to make full preparations for the filming.

As soon as Du Sheng joined the crew, it took him only half a day to master the set of movements designed by Yuan Heping, and he performed them cleanly and smoothly in one go.

The reason for starting filming now is, on the one hand, that Yuan Heping felt that Uma Thurman had several moves that were not perfect and needed to be practiced repeatedly;
On the other hand, Du Sheng had to master the control of strength, showing his agility and strength in the confrontation, while ensuring that he used less force when contacting Uma Thurman to avoid really hurting the other party.

Uma Thurman had no such concerns. Du Sheng told her to attack with all her might and guaranteed that not a single hair of her would be hurt.

When everything was ready, director Quentin gave the order:
“3, 2, 1, action!”

The first thing that appears in the camera is a mysterious and quiet valley with stone steps leading up.

At the end of the long steps leading to the tomb, stands an ancient Taoist temple.

That is the place where the legendary Taoist Master Baimei practiced meditation.

Uma Thurman, wearing a tattered martial arts uniform, walked up step by step, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

Her steps were a little heavy, but each step was full of determination.

After going through untold hardships, she finally found this Taoist temple. Her eyes were determined, and she had only one thought in her mind -

He worships Taoist Master Baimei as his master and learns peerless martial arts in order to avenge his blood feud.

After a long time, an ancient and mysterious martial arts field appeared in front of her.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the windows onto the wooden floor, casting golden rays of light.

In the center of the Taoist temple, Taoist Master Baimei, played by Du Sheng, stood with his hands behind his back.

He was dressed in a robe as white as snow, with white eyebrows and hair. He looked calm and composed, as still as a mountain.

Invisibly, it exudes a kind of fierce oppression that makes people dare not approach easily.

When Uma Thurman looked at him, it was as if she was facing a tranquil and deep lake.

For Du Sheng, the biggest challenge of this role is not the action scenes.
Rather, it is about how to fully demonstrate the character's grandmaster demeanor and master style.

When talking about the most master-like film and television image, Du Sheng first thought of "Ip Man" played by Zhen Zidan.

Although countless actors have played this role, no one can compare to Zhen Zidan.

However, Zhen Zidan had more than an hour of film time to portray the character, while Du Sheng only had about ten minutes.

He must create a strong aura from the beginning and then continue to maintain this cool attitude.

These days, he has been thinking about the images of several hermits.

For example, Huo Yuanjia in "Fist of Fury", Chen Shi in "Master", Feng Qingyang in "Swordsman".

Du Sheng believes that the key to playing this kind of hermit master is to have enough confidence and show a strong aura.

Aura is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists.

Even if two people just stand there quietly, they will give people completely different feelings.

With his LV4 acting skills and the experience accumulated from past and present lives, Du Sheng is confident that he can display the demeanor of a hermit.

Quentin, staring at the camera, nodded involuntarily.

Although Du Sheng is young, his appearance and calm temperament make people see his extraordinaryness at a glance.

Uma Thurman stepped into the dojo and fixed her eyes on the hermit master.

She knelt on the ground, lowered her once proud head, and said with a trembling but firm voice:
"I beg the Taoist priest to accept me as his disciple and teach me the essence of Eastern martial arts so that I can avenge my grievances."

Du Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked her up and down, and said expressionlessly:
"Your Chinese is very poor. I can't understand a word you say."

Uma Thurman speaks English, while he speaks Cantonese, highlighting his down-to-earth manner.

In his previous life, the Taoist priest Baimei, played by Liu, started cursing directly, and his demeanor as a master was instantly gone, turning things into a dramatic scene.

Du Sheng knew that this was the image of a hermit master in the eyes of Westerners, and after communicating with Quentin with great difficulty, he reluctantly changed it to this.

As for Cantonese, the original flavor is still preserved.

After all, Taoist Master Baimei is set as a hermit from the Cantonese area. Uma Thurman doesn't understand Cantonese, but the setting is that both parties can barely understand each other, and she answered in English with some difficulty:
"My neon language can..."

Du Sheng interrupted coldly with a wave of his hand and asked:
"Is your master Bill?"

"Yes!"

"What did he teach you?"

Du Sheng's eyes were dazed, as if he was reminiscing.

Bill was the first foreigner he taught, but unfortunately he was a traitor.

"He taught me Tiger Crane Fist and Japanese Bushido Swordsmanship..."

"Humph, Neon Bushido swordsmanship? This kind of rubbish will only get worse the more you learn it!"

Du Sheng stroked his long beard, not disguising his contempt:
"This sect does not accept incompetent people. Please go."

Uma Thurman gritted her teeth, kowtowed, and said earnestly:
"Master, please accept me!

I want to kill Bill. If I can't learn powerful martial arts, I will never give up!"

Du Sheng was unmoved and said indifferently:
"Revenge? There are so many people in this world who want revenge, am I going to take them all?"

After saying that, he suddenly flashed and appeared in front of the heroine like a ghost, raised his hand and slapped her:
"Come on, attack me! Let me see what skills you have learned!"

Uma Thurman was startled, and despite her quick reaction, she was hit and fell to the ground.

"too slow!"

Du Sheng kicked out again with such force that a whistling sound was made.

Uma Thurman barely dodged it, stood up and kicked.
Du Sheng put his hands behind his back and leaned back slightly, like an iron bridge, and easily dodged the attack.

Uma Thurman then used her left foot as the axis and stabbed Du Sheng with her right foot three times in a row, trying to break through Du Sheng's defense from the left, right and center.

However, these attacks were a piece of cake for Du Sheng. He easily resolved them without even moving his arms.

Finally, when Uma Thurman's right foot hit Du Sheng's middle, Du Sheng grabbed it firmly with both hands and turned it suddenly with force. Uma Thurman did a 180-degree rotation in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"Crack! Once again, the double is exposed!"

shouted the director.

The white-clad stand-in on the ground quickly got up and stretched his right foot towards Du Sheng again, recreating the moment when he was caught by him.

Previously, Uma Thurman performed the fighting scenes herself, but when it came to high-risk actions such as falling, a stunt double had to be hired.

After all, the leading actor's health is precious and cannot be risked easily.

The original plan was to change the shooting angles and then present the effect through post-editing, because most people cannot make an adult rotate three times in the air with the strength of their hands alone. This usually requires the assistance of two martial arts instructors.

But Du Sheng, the 'strongman', could do it easily, so he decided to shoot directly from the front.

He held the stuntman's legs tightly with both hands and exerted force suddenly. This time the stuntman spun faster in the air, was thrown into the air, and finally fell heavily on the mat.

Du Sheng did not mean to do anything bad, but he wanted the camera to capture the stand-in's face clearly to avoid blurring the picture due to excessive rotation speed, which would have necessitated reshoots and caused the stand-in to suffer more pain.

Even if he fell on a cushion, the stuntman would still have to withstand a considerable impact.

The personnel were replaced and the work continued.

"Is that all you are capable of? And you still dream of revenge?"

Du Sheng stood calmly and said coldly:

"I think you should go back early and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Uma Thurman held her breath in her heart. She knew very well that this was a test from Du Sheng and she must not give up easily.

So, she forced herself to cheer up and used the few fighting skills she had to try to resist Du Sheng's attack.

On the side, director Quentin, who was secretly staring at the camera lens, couldn't help but secretly admire Du Sheng's acting skills.

Du Sheng portrayed the mysterious, stern and harsh image of Taoist Baimei vividly with every gesture.

Every movement and every expression is full of the demeanor of a hermit master.

What surprised him even more was that the opponent's moves seemed to contain the charm of oriental martial arts.

Sometimes he uses strong and powerful moves, like a tiger descending from the mountain; sometimes he changes into flexible and changeable palm techniques, like flowing clouds and water.

Under the pressure of Du Sheng, Uma Thurman kept retreating and was injured in many places.

But her eyes became more determined, and the stubbornness in her bones prevented her from giving up easily.

"ah!"

She shouted, rushed forward and used a desperate move.

Du Sheng frowned slightly and snorted:
"I don't know how high the sky is!"

He turned his body and cleverly avoided Uma Thurman's attack. At the same time, he swung his hand back and a powerful internal force knocked Uma Thurman to the ground.

"With your current condition, are you worthy of being my disciple?"

Du Sheng stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly.

Uma Thurman lay on the ground, gasping for breath, but her eyes were still fixed on Du Sheng:

"Master...I won't give up!
As long as you are willing to teach me, I can endure any hardship and any punishment!"

Du Sheng was silent for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He thought to himself:

This girl's perseverance in studying is even stronger than Bill's. Maybe she can be sculpted...

Du Sheng put his hands behind his back, walked around Uma Thurman, and said slowly:

"The road to martial arts is extremely difficult, and requires you to endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Can you do it?"

Uma Thurman gritted her teeth:
"Master, I can!"

"Ka! Very good, next one~"

As Quentin's slightly excited voice sounded, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed.
