Chapter 157 Sneak attack!
There is an old saying in the martial arts world: fists fear young men, and sticks fear old men.
The reason for this saying is that the sharpness of a fist depends on the strength of muscles, bones and muscles.
The strength of the stick technique can be determined by experience and skills to make up for the lack of strength.
However, this statement only applies to ordinary elderly people.
Sammo Hung was born in 49, and by 03 he was already 54 years old.
Most people at this age can already say that "old people no longer rely on muscles and bones for strength" and their strength and speed have already declined significantly.
But he is different!
Yuan Hua led Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing to Stephen Chow's Xinghui Film and Television office, and met his senior brother Hong Jinbao in the corridor.
From the moment they entered the door, the three of them were led by Yuan Hua, Zhang Yuan on the right, and Wu Jing on the left, with the other two following behind their seniors.
After Yuan Hua greeted Hong Jinbao and pointed out that both young men knew Kung Fu, the old wily man quietly stepped back and moved aside.
As soon as he left, Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing could face Hong Jinbao directly.
Why did Yuan Hua do this?
Because they grew up together, he knew the temperament of this senior brother too well!
The eldest brother is like a father. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When the master is not around, it is Sammo Hung who uses a rattan stick to "discipline" the other brothers.
And what this eldest senior brother loves to do most is just two words.
Sneak attack!
When everyone stands in horse stance, he will go around behind you and kick you in the back of the knee.
After you fall on your face, you will be beaten with a cane, because your fall shows that your horse stance is unstable.
Everyone sat in a row, eating with bowls on benches. When others were not paying attention, he would suddenly stand up, the bench tilted, people fell down, and the bowls fell to the ground. He even laughed at you for your unstable lower body.
It was only after such "torture" that the Seven Little Fortunes were able to thrive in society.
Especially Chenglong, the most outstanding one among the Seven Little Fortunes, was beaten by the eldest brother almost every day.
But you know what, they have been fighting since they were young, but they have the best relationship.
When filming "Project A", there was a famous scene where Cheng Long was about to jump down from a clock tower.
For several days in a row, Uncle Long was very nervous and didn't dare to try anything for fear of an accident.
In the end, they simply called in Sammo Hung to direct this scene.
The eldest brother said everything was OK, just jump, I will take care of everything, so Chenglong jumped without hesitation.
This kind of trust would never exist without the friendship between classmates that has been honed over many years.
So when Yuan Hua saw his senior brother giving the two young men a silly smile, he understood.
Big Brother is about to launch another sneak attack!
Wu Jing smiled foolishly at Hong Jinbao and didn't pay any attention.
But Zhang Yuan noticed something unusual about Yuan Hua and became alert.
But before he could react, Hong Jinbao in front of him had changed his appearance.
He was as kind as Maitreya just now, but now he seemed to have turned into Mo Liqing, with a ferocious face and glaring eyes!
Whoosh!
Two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and Yuan Long's fists were like two mad dragons rising from the sea, rushing towards the faces of Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing.
Don’t you know Kung Fu?
Well then, let me test your strength!
There are countless fat people in the world, but a fat person as flexible as Sammo Hung is rare.
Let’s go back to the beginning: fists are afraid of young people, and sticks are afraid of old people.
A few years later, there was a movie called "The King's Avatar", in which Wu Jing played Luo Tianhong, a thug with a head full of blue hair. From a distance, he looked like a blue-headed macaw.
In that play, Wu Jing held a long knife and Hong Jinbao held a wooden stick, and the two fought for several rounds.
In an interview, Wu Jing once mentioned that in that scene, Sammo Hung's stick skills were so fast that he had a hard time blocking them.
You know, there is almost a thirty-year age difference between the two.
Zhang Yuan is also good at stick fighting, and he is pretty good at it, at least he got 100% praise from Alyssa Chia and Cheng Hao.
Now that the fist was in front of him, Zhang Yuan realized that the speed of this nimble fat man was not just due to his stick skills.
The boxing skills were not at all false.
Have you ever seen a fist as big as a sandbag?
Well, he saw it today!
Let’s talk about Wu Jing first. This kid is worthy of being trained since he was young. Although he doesn’t have the title of Wuying level, he is no weaker than Wuying level when he really fights.
This guy reacted extremely quickly. He was clearly not prepared at all, but when the opponent's punch was halfway around, he subconsciously turned his head to avoid the attack.
At the same time, he raised his arms, crossed them and held them in front of his body in a defensive posture.
boom!
There was a loud bang.
Hong Jinbao's fist hit Wu Jing's arms directly, and the powerful force actually knocked the opponent back several steps.
Wu Jing retreated four or five steps before he tensed his muscles, grabbed the ground with his feet, and steady himself.
"Zhang Yuan, are you okay?"
It can be said that Wu Jing is a person worth making friends with. After calming himself down, his first reaction was to pay attention to the brothers who came with him.
He turned sideways and looked to the side... No one?
Oh, that's right too.
His kung fu is far inferior to mine. I was pushed back four or five steps, so he must be able to do more than that.
So I turned around and looked back...still no one.
Wu Jing looked up and down, left and right, but still couldn't find Zhang Yuan.
Then where is he?
Time goes back three seconds.
Seeing Yuan Hua's strange behavior, Zhang Yuan became more careful, so he noticed Hong Jinbao's attack earlier than Wu Jing.
Defend as hard as Wu Jing?
He didn't have the confidence, nor did he want to get punched or hurt.
So his first reaction was not to turn around and dodge, because the punch was too fast, and by the time he used his waist to exert force, he had already been hit.
He simply relaxed his shoulders, and then relaxed along his shoulders and spine all the way down to his waist, and then he suddenly tensed up and exerted force.
His shoulders relaxed and he fell backwards.
The fist of the mobile phone brushed past Zhang Yuan's chin and almost touched the tip of his nose.
If it was half a second later, he would have been punched hard in the Adam's apple, and he would have been unable to breathe for a long time, let alone speak.
Zhang Yuan's back slammed towards the ground, but at the moment when he was about to fall, he used the strength of his waist to stop the downward trend of his upper body.
The whole person made a standard "iron horse bridge".
This movement tests waist strength and overall balance. Obviously, Zhang Yuan, who has not received special training, cannot hold on for long.
But he didn't plan to hold on for long. He suddenly raised his arms, one hand supporting, the other holding, and his two palms from bottom to top, caught Hong Jinbao's forearm that had passed over his head, clamped it tightly, and used the opponent's strength to stabilize his body.
Hong Jinbao attacked from both sides and was originally confident.
"Can you withstand this punch of mine that I've been practicing for twenty years?"
However, he didn't expect that one of his punches, even though he used all his strength, had no effect and did not hit the opponent.
Not only that, he also felt his arm sink, and when he looked down, he discovered that Zhang Yuan was just like the monkey in Mount Emei, hanging on to his arm as if it were a branch.
Hong Jinbao was startled at the moment and exerted force to pull his arms in front of him. Zhang Yuan also stood up and stood up straight again.
The big brother looked up and down at him with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said in his heart.
"His reaction speed is faster than Wu Jing's!"
When Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing entered the room, he was on the right and Wu Jing was on the left.
The two men faced each other with Hong Jinbao. The opponent punched with both fists. It was the right fist that hit Wu Jing, while he was hit by the left fist.
Like ordinary people, Hong Jinbao is right-handed, so his punches at Wu Jing were faster and more powerful.
Of course, this is also in line with his prediction.
After all, he recognized Wu Jing and knew that the other party was good at kung fu.
But he didn't know Zhang Yuan, nor did he know how capable he was, so it would be safer to be gentle.
Now that I have tried it, I have tasted the flavor.
Wu Jing's reaction was standard and not unusual.
What’s interesting is Zhang Yuan’s reaction.
As the saying goes, a fist reflects his character. Zhang Yuan chose to dodge rather than take the punch head-on, highlighting his agility and intelligence.
Especially compared with Wu Jing, who was very stubborn, he seemed to be at ease.
In fact, Zhang Yuan was also lucky. He noticed something unusual from Yuan Hua's expression and behavior in advance, and the opponent's left punch was slower, so he was able to dodge it perfectly.
But it was different in Hong Jinbao's eyes.
The two young men, faced with his attack, gave two different solutions.
This not only represents the level of kung fu, but also reflects temperament and habits.
"Wu Jing's reaction is very common at his age. He relied on his young body to take the lead and was very confident."
"That kid is different. He's very slippery and obviously better at using his brain."
"Huh, interesting."
His punch was the first step in the audition.
If you can't even withstand this punch, even if it was brought by Junior Brother Yuan Hua, please go back home.
At this time, Wu Jing noticed Zhang Yuan's actions and walked forward in a daze.
"You're really good at the Iron Horse Bridge. Your back is very strong."
Wu Jing touched his chin and thought, could this be the reason why he is more popular with women?
Hong Jinbao stopped and looked at Yuan Hua, who was grinning as if saying.
What do you think? The people I brought are pretty good, aren’t they?
"Okay, good, go sit inside."
Only then did Hong Jinbao truly smile and invite the three people in.
The auditions here are quite special because even the script hasn't been completely finalized, let alone the roles, there are only a few rough characters.
The screenwriter of this film was indeed very tired. The inspiration for the whole story came from Stephen Chow's own childhood experiences.
He had admired Bruce Lee since he was a child, and he accidentally discovered that an ordinary-dressed old man next door to his house was actually a martial arts master.
From then on, he understood the truth that great people hide in the city and masters are among the people.
But what troubled the screenwriter was that, because the idea of this story came from Stephen Chow himself, the entire script had to be dictated by him.
Several screenwriters worked for more than a year before they pieced together an outline.
"Right now, the only role that's suitable for you is probably Kuli Qiang."
During the break, Sammo Hung took a look at the character form and then said.
Zhang Yuan and Wu Jing looked at each other.
"Are we going to fight for a role?" Wu Jing asked in embarrassment.
"Of course not." The big brother waved his hand: "You two are not the only ones who want this role."
Wu Jing took a deep breath and felt quite pressured.
Zhang Yuan was different, he still looked calm.
"Hmph, your mentality is not bad." Hong Jinbao glanced and continued.
"This is Sing Tsai's movie. Do you know that more than a dozen people are competing for one role?"
"If I can't get the role of a coolie, then I can only play other small roles with few scenes, such as gangster thugs."
“But these characters don’t even have names.”
"And you should also know that the money given by Xingzai..." When he said this, Sammo Hung snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
In the TV drama industry, there are two very stingy people, Zhang Jizhong and Qiong Yao. When it comes to the film and television industry, Stephen Chow is not much less stingy.
Zhang Yuan knew that Fatty Cong, also known as Lam Chi Chung, who acted with Stephen Chow in the film, only received a total salary of 15,000 yuan when he was filming "Shaolin Soccer".
Even when he filmed "Kung Fu", his salary did not exceed 30,000.
But this person was promoted by Stephen Chow, so it doesn't matter if he is given little.
But Liang Xiaolong, who plays the villain Fire Cloud Evil God in the film, is a veteran who has been famous for a long time.
As a result, after filming a movie, he only received 50 yuan in salary.
This is the only amount he gets for the villain, so you can imagine how much other actors can get.
But just like Zhang Jizhong and Qiong Yao, actors make their films for fame, because with fame they can make a lot of money in the future.
"I'll give you a script, so get ready."
After saying that, Hong Jinbao took Yuan Hua to another place to discuss in detail.
"I must win, I must win!" Wu Jing slapped his cheeks hard and started to get excited.
"Hey, why aren't you nervous?" Wu Jing asked puzzledly when he saw that he was still calm.
"There's no point in being nervous. We can't just enter Stephen Chow's crew whenever we want."
Why isn't Zhang Yuan in a hurry?
The role of Kuliqiang requires very high fighting scenes. Just based on this point, he cannot compare to Wu Jing, not to mention that there are countless masters coveting him.
Therefore, his goal has never been to make coolies stronger!
