Chapter 201: Opera Skills

"what!!!"

A few days later, a scream spread throughout the entire Icefield set.

"Let go, let go."

“Don’t bite me!”

"I'm telling you, if you don't let go, I'm going to bite you!"

In front of the camera, Zhang Yuan, wearing a bright yellow monk's robe and with a bald head, was waiting in the silvery-white snow, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Shu Chang in front of him was wearing the white silk shirt of the heroine Shui Sheng. She opened her mouth and bit his hand viciously.

"Cut!" Wang Xinming called a halt: "Very good, change the angle."

"Brother Yuan, does it hurt?" Shu Chang stood up immediately after finishing work and asked with a mischievous look in his eyes.

He looked at the shallow row of teeth marks on the outside of his body and realized that although the other person had acted with a ferocious expression, he actually bit very gently.

Not only that, during the previous shooting, she intentionally or unintentionally stuck out her tongue and licked herself mischievously.

"If only it wasn't your hand that you bit..."

Zhang Yuan cleared his throat and said seriously, "It doesn't hurt. You acted very well."

"Hehe, Brother Yuan is also very nice." Shu Chang smiled and blinked at him, full of tenderness.

With this environment, this attire, this look, and teasing him every day... Zhang Yuan felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother Yuan, do you want some water?"

The two of them took a break, and it was Teacher Liu and Teacher Ji's turn to perform. Shu Chang was beside them, serving them tea and water, very attentive.

"The old senior has extraordinary magical powers. I am just an ordinary person like a frog in a well, so I believed the slander of others..."

In front of the camera, Teacher Liu knelt on the ground with a look of fear on his face.

This scene marked the beginning of Hua Tiegan's complete depravity.

Two of the Four Heroes of Falling Flowers and Flowing Water died in the battle, one was disabled, and the Blood Knife Ancestor was exhausted and dying.

However, Hua Tiegan, who saw his three sworn brothers dead or injured, was completely frightened and surrendered even though he only needed to step forward and shoot to kill them.

Zhang Yuan personally believes that this drama of a battle between four heroes in the snowfield is one of the top five martial arts novels in terms of its excitement.

An evil man used ambushes, terrain advantages, wisdom, and even psychological warfare to defeat the four heroes who could have surrounded and killed him "shoulder to shoulder".

It also completely exposed the true nature of Hua Tiegan, a famous hero, which was extremely satisfying.

To some extent, it was more satisfying for Zhang Wuji to show off his power in public than when the six major sects besieged Guangmingding.

After all, Zhang Wuji is the protagonist and he also has cheats.

The Blood Knife Patriarch was a complete villain, who single-handedly killed all the enemies without leaving a single piece of armor behind.

Of course, there are always some surprises in Mr. Jin’s novels. This passage is so wonderfully described, and its ultimate purpose is to set off the protagonist Di Yun.

Later, when Di Yun was attacked by the Blood Knife Patriarch, his Ren and Du meridians were accidentally opened, and he killed the Blood Knife Patriarch, who was fighting four heroes alone, with one palm.

Zhang Yuan has always wondered why the protagonists in novels often accidentally open up their Ren and Du meridians.

I was beaten to pieces by a half-hook, but I couldn't even see where the Ren and Du meridians were.

When reading the book, Zhang Yuan felt that when Mr. Jin wrote this passage, he definitely referred to the scene in Romance of the Three Kingdoms where Hua Xiong was beheaded with a cup of warm wine.

First praise Hua Xiong highly, and then let Guan Gong kill him with one sword. It is almost exactly the same routine as Di Yun's killing of the Blood Knife Patriarch.

Mr. Jin wrote well, and the two teachers on the scene performed well too.

There is no need to say much about Ji Chunhua, it is just as Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao said in the sketch "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor".

"This nose, these eyes, this head, only appears once every few thousand years!"

When it comes to villain actors in the entire Chinese mainland, only Teacher Du Yuming can compete with him.

Even more rare is Teacher Liu.

How high-spirited he was when he caused havoc in heaven.

How disgusting it is to beg for mercy in the snow.

Those eyebrows, that look, that temperament...

His beard was drooping, his eyebrows were upturned, and the corners of his mouth were drooping.

He looks so haggard and has lost all his former charm.

"The old senior's inner strength is so profound that it can no longer be described as unparalleled in the world. It is truly unprecedented!"

When Teacher Liu talks about lines, he just recites them fluently.

Zhang Yuan sincerely felt that Teacher Liu's potential was limited by his Monkey King image. His acting skills were in no way inferior to those he had seen, such as Kou Zhenhai, Zhang Guoli and Du Zhiguo.

He is obviously much better than Hu Jun, Sun Honglei, Su Youpeng and other male actors who are just entering middle age.

The character Hua Tiegan he played didn't have a single bit of monkeyishness, which was absolutely in line with the character.

"Very good, the next scene is the fight between Mr. Zhang and Zhang Yuan, you two should get ready."

As soon as the director called for cut, Liu Ye stood up from the ground. His previous timidity completely disappeared, and he returned to his usual look of holding his head high and chest out, full of energy.

"Teacher Zhang, shall we try some moves?"

"it is good."

Ever since their first fight scene, Teacher Liu no longer had the arrogance he had towards other actors when he met Zhang Yuan again.

He knew that the other party's kung fu was better than his!

No matter how good his moves are, they are based on opera, while his are based on formal martial arts. They are not on the same track at all.

After that, he and Zhang Yuan were very serious and unambiguous when practicing their moves.

Teacher Liu is arrogant, but he is not stupid.

It was a wrong call. With Zhang Yuan's physique and strength, he would be the only one who would suffer.

"I'll kick you in the chest, and then when you lie on the ground, I'll kick you in the head from the side," said Sixth Master.

"I used my hands to support my body, jumped on all fours on the ground, and avoided your side kick." Zhang Yuan continued.

"Practice it once?"

"it is good."

This action is not difficult, the key is coordination.

Zhang Yuan lay in the snow and suddenly felt his hands go numb and cold.

“I kicked it, didn’t I?”

"bring it on!"

Teacher Liu’s legs are not slow.

But Zhang Yuan was faster. When he saw the opponent's legs move, he used his arms to support his whole body and easily avoided the opponent's sweeping kick as if he was jumping rope.

It's just like the Fire Cloud Evil God using Toad Kung Fu in "Kung Fu".

Ok?
Liu Ye frowned. Hiss, his action just now.

Before Teacher Liu had time to think more, Zhang Yuan spoke.

"Teacher Zhang, you can go faster. You don't have to hold back."

"I know!" Sixth Master agreed immediately.

If an ordinary actor made such a request, he would immediately question it.

"I'm using all my strength, can you dodge it?"

But when it came to Zhang Yuan, he didn't even have to ask, he already had the answer.

He can definitely dodge it!

Swish!
Another kick, the speed was three points faster than before!

Zhang Yuan was like a giant toad. He used all his limbs to jump more than half a meter into the air and avoided the attack!
pat...

Moreover, when he landed on the ground, the sound was barely audible and his movements were very powerful, so he would not hurt himself at all.

"That's right!"

Sixth Master was shocked.

In other words, two shocks!

The first one, of course, is Zhang Yuan’s strength and speed.

I used all my strength in that kick just now!

If he was acting against an ordinary person, he would only use 70% of his strength at most, but when acting against Zhang Yuan, he really used all his strength.

But the other party not only dodged it easily, but also did it with great ease.

His toes were more than 20 centimeters away from the other person's nose, and he was obviously doing it with ease.

For the first time, Teacher Zhang felt that the young are truly formidable!
Secondly, he had vaguely seen it just now, and now he was even more certain.

"Zhang Yuan, your actions just now seemed to have some basis in opera?" Sixth Master felt very strange.

He was not mistaken. When Zhang Yuan jumped up from all four limbs just now, he did use some power-generating techniques derived from the characteristics of opera.

Because in traditional Peking operas such as "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger", the actor who plays the white-browed tiger has a lot of rolling and jumping movements.

These are the standard movements of Peking Opera martial artists.

The force-generating techniques of Peking Opera martial arts are different from those of martial arts.

The most typical examples are the two action superstars, Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Brother Long has the background of a martial artist, while Lao Li is a standard martial arts elite.

You can tell from their action scenes that the two are completely different.

Fang Shilong's fighting scenes are full of rhythm, his movements are smooth, his hands and feet are nimble and full of tenacity.

And Lao Li's fighting scenes, especially in "Fist of Fury", the feeling of hard fighting, powerful force and punches hitting the flesh is particularly obvious.

Zhang Yuan had already taken a small amount of opera attributes from him before, and after Sixth Master came, he took a lot more from him.

He analyzed that if he used the power techniques of martial arts for the action just now, it would put too much pressure on the wrist, so the techniques of opera would be more suitable.

I never expected that they are a family of monkey performers with an authentic opera heritage.

Master Liu really has “eagle eyes and golden pupils” and he saw it right away.

"I met several Peking Opera actors in previous productions and learned a thing or two from them."

"Oh... that's not right." Sixth Master just nodded and asked again: "How long did you ask for advice?"

"Uh... a few months." Zhang Yuan could only try to say as much as possible, but not too exaggerated.

The Sixth Master looked embarrassed and felt extremely depressed.

"Ji Chunhua told me before that no matter what you are capable of, you must not let that kid see it. If he sees you, he will learn it."

"I thought he was joking and praising Zhang Yuan."

"I didn't expect it to be true!"

"How can you learn this well after just a few months of formal study?"

Teacher Zhang suddenly thought of his brother who passed away young.

His second elder brother Zhang Jinxing was originally the successor chosen by his father Liu Lingtong for monkey opera, and his stage name was Xiao Liu Lingtong.

The Sixth Master's talent in martial arts and monkey performances is already outstanding, but his second brother is the real top-notch.

When he was 7 years old, Zhang Jinxing performed "Havoc in Heaven" for Premier Zhou and foreign guests at the Sino-Soviet Friendship Building in Shanghai. The Premier loved him so much that he held him for photos. He also told his father that more artistic successors like him should be cultivated for the country, and personally named him Xiaoliu Lingtong.

At the age of 10, he starred in the movie "The Monkey King 11: The Legend Begins", and at the age of , he entered Zhongnanhai and performed as part of the first generation of leadership troupe.

Unfortunately, God is jealous of talented people. In 66, Xiaoliu Lingtong died of leukemia. He was only 16 years old.

Because the second brother passed away, my father began to train the Sixth Master to take over.

But his father ultimately did not let him inherit the stage name Xiaoliu Lingtong, because this name would always belong to that talented young boy.

But now, he seemed to see the genius of his second brother in Zhang Yuan.

When I was young, my father disciplined and beat me, and he would say this every day to force me to become a successful person.

"Your second brother will learn it after just one look, you piece of shit!"

"Your second brother will understand it after learning it once!"

"Your second brother can draw inferences from one instance after hearing it once..."

Teacher Liu understood that there were geniuses in this world because there was one in his family.

He glanced at Zhang Yuan. It's just casual practice. If he studies professionally, wouldn't he be able to take off?
Not long after, the filming officially started. Zhang Yuan lay down in the snow. The props team tidied his clothes and sprinkled a little snow on his back.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."

At this time, Teacher Liu looked embarrassed, said hello and ran away in a hurry.

The weather was already cold, and diarrhea often occurred in the crew.

Fortunately, the crew communicated with the scenic spot and pulled over two mobile toilets, which is better than digging holes on the spot and destroying the environment.

Zhang Yuan wanted to get up and rest, but if he moved, he would have to rearrange his clothes and scenes again, so he decided to just endure it for a while and simply lay down in the snow.

"Sorry, I'm back!"

Liu Ye moved quickly and ran back to the crew in less than ten minutes.

"All departments, prepare... ACTION!"

At the command of director Wang Xinming, Teacher Liu raised his foot and quickly attacked Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan used both arms to lift himself up, just like he did before. Then...

He found himself motionless!
But Mr. Liu's feet have already arrived in front of him... (End of this chapter)
