Chapter 143 Stand-in Showdown
Zhang Yuan looked at Wu Jing in front of him and swallowed.

"Retribution!"

He had practiced martial arts and gained a lot of points related to martial arts, so he had a certain level of strength.

But the key lies in who you compare with!

Compared with ordinary actors, even someone like Hu Jun who is naturally strong can defeat his opponent in just a few moves.

But the person standing in front of him at this moment was Wu Jing!
He still had that wicked smile on his face, as if saying, "I just want to beat you to death, or be beaten to death by you," and was trying to do something to Wu Jing!
Although unlike several other masters in the film and television industry, such as Jet Li, Zhao Wenzhuo, and Zhang Jin, Wu Jing did not achieve the top title of "Wu Ying Class" for Chinese martial arts athletes.

But he is not a "Wu Ying level" person, not because of his poor talent or weak strength, but because of his serious imbalance in his academic performance!

The hard requirement for the Wuying level is that out of the six all-around martial arts assessments, three must be ranked in the top three, and one must be ranked first. Both conditions are indispensable.

Wu Jing's specialties are spearmanship and sparring, and his hexagonal ability diagram is a very strange trapezoid.

Unlike Jet Li, which is a regular hexagon, and each corner reaches the top.

But in ordinary film and television drama shootings, the martial arts scenes are mostly between two people, or even multiple people fighting, which happens to suit Wu Jing's specialty... sparring!

He is just average at boxing, but he is really good at beating people!
"Zhang Yuan, you and Wu Jing should practice some moves first. I'll give you 20 minutes." Director Li gave the order.

At the same time, she arranged for the original leader of the Jin Guang Sect and Hong Ye to continue working.

"You two should shoot the scenes before and after the fight first, especially the POSS scenes before the fight."

The main actors usually have several sets of costumes prepared as backup. The crew of A Chinese Ghost Story was a bit stingy and only prepared two sets. Now the four of them have exactly one set each, so they can shoot at the same time without affecting each other.

While Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing were working on their moves, Shen Xiaohai and Xuan Xuan also began their own work.

Shen Xiaohai was fine, he didn't do anything big and exaggerated, just gestured a few times with his hands.

It’s different for Jessica Hsuan. The crew specially designed a very “middle school” pre-battle animation for her.

Speaking of which, this set of movements can be related to Zhang Yuan.

After martial arts director Ma Yuk-chan spent a lot of time thinking and studying, and designed several sets of movements, either Director Lee and Director Chan were not satisfied, or Jessica Hsuan thought it was too difficult or too sexy...

Lao Ma was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he remembered that when Gao Yuanyuan was on the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", she couldn't learn the fighting moves of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw no matter what, and it was Zhang Yuan who came up with the moves for her in the end.

Later, several beauties in the crew learned how to wave their hands...

So this time he also went to Zhang Yuan and asked him for help.

"That's easy..." Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows at Lao Ma: "Have you seen Dragon Ball?"

"What do you mean?"

"Have you seen the fusion technique? It's the one used by Gohan and Trunks, and Goku and Vegeta."

"The movements are simple and easy to remember, and they're very exaggerated. You just need to modify them a little bit."

"Can it be done?"

Ma Yuchen was also hesitant at first, but still did as he said, and it turned out to be well received by the genius Chen Shisan!
The set that Xuan Xuan is "dancing" now is almost a modified version of the fusion technique in "Dragon Ball"...

Without having to shoot any fighting scenes, the work of Jessica Hsuan and Shen Xiaohai went very smoothly.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing also made a plan.

"Are they going to fight?" Yuan Hua also came to join in the fun.

In fact, it was not just him, most of the main actors were watching this fight scene.

Of course, everyone came to see Wu Jing. After all, he was a kung fu boy, and everyone wanted to see his real skills.

Just like when filming "SPL", director Ye Weixing also asked Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing to improvise a segment.

The effect is one thing, but also for fun, people want to see the duel between two martial arts masters. Everyone is curious.

"All departments in place... ACTION!"

Following Director Li's order, Wu Jing, who was wearing red women's clothing, twisted her waist and took the lead in attacking!
According to the plot, both of them used the [Xuanxin Aomi Jue], which is similar to Taoist magic, so they were all unarmed and did not use any weapons.

Wu Jing took three steps forward, changed his fist into a palm, and slapped Zhang Yuan in the chest.

The speed is astonishing.

"So powerful!" Yuan Hua, who was standing next to the director, exclaimed with narrowed eyes.

Speaking of fighting scenes, as one of the Seven Little Fortunes, he is probably more experienced and knowledgeable than martial arts director Ma Yuchen.

"This palm strike is not easy to block!" Yuan Hua thought to himself, "An ordinary layman would injure his wrist just by blocking this blow."

The next second, facing Wu Jing's fierce palm strike, Zhang Yuan felt a numbness in his spine and his body moved as if reflexively.

"Good fellow, you did a set of moves, and you followed the routine, but you never said the fighting rhythm would be so fast!"

Zhang Yuan complained in his heart.

He knew very well that this was Wu Jing's revenge for making him a "cross-dressing gangster".

But he didn’t practice in vain these days!

Zhang Yuan shook his left hand, then raised it up, and while turning sideways, he used the back of his hand to push Wu Jing's palm away.

"Oh!" Yuan Hua immediately stretched his neck upon seeing this.

"This kid has practiced it too."

"That move just now was not a random attack."

"Obviously there is a transformation force!"

Even Zhang Yuan would feel numb in his arms if he took Wu Jing's palm strike head-on, so he used the opponent's force to push the palm strike away.

Wu Jing was also shocked. He didn't expect that he could take this move so easily.

I thought Zhang Yuan would be extremely flustered, and I could catch him off guard and relieve his hatred.

But his eyes widened because of this little accident, and for a moment he even forgot his next move.

"Cut, Wu Jing, you're moving too slowly." Director Li called for a stop.

"No, sorry." Wu Jing apologized by scratching his head.

It was just a small mistake by Wu Jing, but it took on a different meaning in the eyes of other onlookers.

"Wu Jing didn't catch Zhang Yuan's fight!"

"Is Zhang Yuan's martial arts more powerful than Wu Jing's?"

"It seems that Wu Jing is not that great..."

Zhang Yuan: …

I see you are watching the funeral not because you are afraid of the severity of the illness, but because you are afraid that I won’t die!
Wu Jing held his breath and immediately made a comeback.

This time he was extra careful, like a "dragon that is too arrogant will regret", he held back three-tenths of his strength and did not attack with all his strength.

In this way, Zhang Yuan felt a lot more relaxed and only needed to play according to the routine.

The two men exchanged moves continuously.

Zhang Yuan became more and more skilled in the fight, while Wu Jing became more and more frightened.

“He really practiced!”

"And it's not just a show, it's real skill."

Wu Jing grew up among experts, how could he not understand?

"His technique of using the opponent's force to attack him and his technique of using his palms to exert force are clearly Southern-style Kung Fu."

"By the way, the sword technique he used before was also from the Southern School!"

"No wonder I haven't heard of his name before. It seems there is another martial arts peer in the world."

Wu Jing certainly didn't use his full strength, but judging from the speed and rhythm alone, he could have increased the score by three more points.

But after raising this three-point limit, the camera's shooting effect will become worse, just like when the camera technology was not mature in the early years, Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jing performed Tongbeiquan at a martial arts conference.

In the video, only the sound of "Pili Bala" can be heard, and the character's hands turned into several afterimages, and it was impossible to see the tricks at all.

This is the state of a master when he is at full strength and speed.

Moreover, a scene has to be shot many times and from many angles, which will lead to exhaustion early on and the result will not be worth the effort.

Now this 7% speed is already extremely terrifying and not something ordinary people can keep up with.

But Wu Jing was surprised to find that Zhang Yuan was not only able to keep up, but also did not seem too tired, as if he was doing it with ease.

"Hasn't reached his limit?"

Wu Jing's eyes narrowed and he made a secret decision.

"Good boy, I didn't expect it to be so hidden."

"How can I miss the opportunity of a master?"

"We have to find an opportunity to get a good feel for him." He originally wanted to make Zhang Yuan look bad. Of course, as his teacher Wu Bin said, he is "the body of Daiyu and the heart of Nezha."

It's not the kind of embarrassment with malicious intent, but more like a joke between friends. This guy loves to tease people, and now he is still young, so he is even more "naughty".

Because of this, the eccentric character of Zhuge Liuyun is very suitable for him.

Now, not only did the other party not make a fool of himself, he also gave him a surprise!
"This is very interesting!" Wu Jing felt that he had met people of the same interests in the crew, and of course he was happy.

"Card!"

After completing a set of procedures, Director Li called for a stop.

"Come here, both of you."

The fight scene was being replayed on the monitor, and people around were watching.

After playing the entire video, Director Li turned to Wu Jing and asked, "Did you find any problems?"

Wu Jing turned his head quickly like a sparrow to look at everyone, then shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.

"In the fight scene just now, both of your moves were flawless and the flow was very smooth."

"But you forgot one thing." Director Li pointed at Wu Jing and said, "You are a stunt double."

"You are not playing Zhuge Liuyun, you are Hongye at this moment!"

"You are a woman."

Wu Jing enjoyed the fight so much that he forgot about the role.

"Take another look at Zhang Yuan's play."

"He always maintained an elegant and calm demeanor during the fight, which just fits Jin Guang's character."

"He's in the play, you're not."

"Oh..." Wu Jing sighed.

No wonder Zhang Yuan seemed so comfortable during the fight just now, it turns out he was just acting.

"Think about it again and shoot it again in 15 minutes." Director Li gave him some time.

Wu Jing and Zhang Yuan ran to the side to prepare, while the others started chatting.

"Zhang Yuan's performance was amazing!" Chen Shisan said with a smile.

"It really exceeded our expectations." Li Huizhu agreed: "It's written on his resume that he has filmed action scenes."

“I just didn’t expect him to take such good pictures.”

Most resumes are full of exaggerations. Director Li didn’t take it seriously at first, but when the filming started, he realized that this guy was really genuine and not exaggerating at all.

At this time, the old senior Yuan Hua said: "In terms of kung fu, Wu Jing is much more powerful."

"But this kid has a solid foundation and is very talented."

"And he is more focused on acting than Wu Jing."

"Wu Jing is too smart, like he has ADHD, and has too many thoughts."

Everyone chuckled. Wu Jing was indeed lively and active, often jumping up and down.

"Zhang Yuan is obviously more calm, I think he's good." Yuan Hua stroked his fake beard and looked at the two with a smile: "They are both good."

The leader of the Jin Guang Sect, Shen Xiaohai, also looked at Zhang Yuan.

"Hiss..." He took a breath, and the cold wind penetrated into his mouth through his teeth, which made him perk up.

"Both the drama and the fighting scenes are good. The key is that we didn't forget the drama while shooting the fighting scenes."

Shen Xiaohai has filmed action scenes before, so he naturally understands how difficult it is to manage facial expressions and postures during a fight.

But while fighting, Zhang Yuan did not forget to imitate his usual state.

Does it look similar? Just looking at the back, every move is quite interesting.

This is also thanks to the scene in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" where Duan Yu changed his appearance, which gave Zhang Yuan a deeper understanding of imitation.

"Maybe Nie Yuan is mistaken? He doesn't look like a relative of his family?" Shen Xiaohai lowered his head in thought.

This was the first time he doubted his friend since he joined the crew.

Besides, Zhang Yuan was helping him shoot the action scenes, so he owed him some favor.

The original spirit of resistance on behalf of his good brother also weakened by seven points.

"His fighting scenes are quite handsome." Jessica Hsuan on the side pushed Daqu with her elbow.

“He is quite handsome.” Shancai tilted her head and looked at him with a crazy look on her face.

But his expression changed the next second.

"What's the point of being handsome if you have no taste!"

She was still holding a grudge against Zhang Yuan for driving her away that night.

She really thinks she is more beautiful than Cheng Hao...

After shooting three times in a row, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing finally finished their work.

At this time, they were both breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

"Huh, it turns out that high altitudes are hard to bear. It's not like this normally..." Zhang Yuan also felt that his breathing was not as smooth as before.

"Why, you can't do it after just a few times... huff, huff..." Wu Jing patted his shoulder and laughed. As soon as he finished speaking, he started to gasp for air and even choked himself with a cough.

"Ahem, you are, ahem, lacking, ahem, exercise!"

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes at him.

You're so fucking weak, how can you stop pretending to be cool?

After coughing for a long time and almost coughing out the lung lobe, Wu Jing finally recovered.

"I see you have a Southern background."

“I just happen to be from the Northern School.”

"The dispute between the northern and southern martial arts has been going on for a long time. How about we two decide it?"

Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart.

He has set a high and mighty pretension and seems to want to shoulder all the responsibilities for his country and his family, but in the end he is itching to show off his skills and wants to challenge me to a duel.

You bunch of crude warriors...

He wants to fight everyone he sees.

Can Zhang Yuan agree?

Of course not!
Even if his brain was filled with Brother Qian's cold dishes, it couldn't be so bad.

If I compete with Wu Jing, I have no chance of winning.

Why do something if you have no chance of success?

"Brother Jing, it's not appropriate for the crew to have a martial arts competition. If you get hurt, it will delay the filming." Zhang Yuan also found a generous excuse.

Wu Jing would give up easily.

From that day on, Brother Jing became interested in him and kept clamoring for a duel.

Zhang Yuan is taking a rest.

"Do you have time for a duel?"

Zhang Yuan is eating.

"Will you fight after we finish eating?"

Zhang Yuan was squatting on the toilet when he heard a muffled voice coming from the next room.

"Will you go to the competition after you finish pulling...By the way, do you have any extra paper?"

"no!"

"You dry it yourself!"

Zhang Yuan pulled up his pants and ran.

This guy is as energetic as Teddy Bear all day long and just wants to find someone to compete with.

Yuan Hua is good at martial arts, but he is too old and would never fight with him.

I kept pestering him like this every day, and it really annoyed him.

As a last resort, Zhang Yuan made a plan...
