Just as Teacher Zheng Peipei said, kung fu based on opera skills is just fancy moves.
After watching Zhang Yuan's stick techniques, Teacher Dong Zhihua immediately understood everything.
Circle, point, gun, cut, pull, pick, pluck, flick, pull, mark, sweep, press, knock, and strike!
This is the fourteen-character formula of Wulang Bagua Stick.
Before coming here, Zhang Yuan asked Mr. Yuan Baye for the mnemonics and technique notes of this stick technique.
As the saying goes, Tai Chi gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four symbols, and four symbols give birth to eight trigrams.
The difference between Wulang Bagua Stick and general Buddhist stick techniques is that it secretly conforms to the meaning of the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams.
First hit the four directions, then hit the four corners. The four corners are the corners of the four directions, that is to say, hit eight directions, with eight points in each direction, which is 64 points in total.
A set of moves, a total of sixty-four moves.
There are four types of single stances: Jiefa, Daxiao, Yunxing, and Qilin Bu.
The moves are a combination of real and fake, confusing the opponent while waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Because he had a good foundation in Shaolin stick techniques, it didn't take long for Zhang Yuan to be able to use the Wulang Bagua stick techniques smoothly.
Of course, it is impossible to understand its true mystery in a short period of time, but if you have the right skills and know how to advance and retreat properly, there will be no problem.
This is the importance of basic skills. If you lay a solid foundation, you can learn anything quickly.
His stick skills really stunned Teacher Dong Zhihua!
"So Master Xing always talks about the feeling of power, the feeling of power."
"This kid fights with a sense of power!"
There is an essential difference between the use of force in Peking Opera and martial arts, one is virtual, the other is real.
Peking Opera is a drama after all. It has to be good to watch but also cannot hurt yourself or your opponent actors. So you have to use your strength sparingly and be able to control it freely.
Martial arts are martial arts, and were ultimately created for the purpose of injuring or even killing people. The purpose is to use limited power to inflict unlimited damage, and to emphasize both offense and defense.
Why the last move of “Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing” is “The Dragon in the Sky Will Regret”.
Because only by attacking half and retreating half can the endurance of martial arts be improved.
Of course, that’s what happens in novels. Real martial arts is about defeating the enemy with one move and leaving blood splattering five steps away.
Zhang Yuan was playing while teacher Dong Zhihua was watching.
"Yo yo yo, what the hell."
"Hey, man, what the hell."
"What a big turn. Damn it."
"This is a roll of fried dough twist, damn."
"Oh my god, this young man..."
Finish work.
clap clap clap...
"Good, great stick technique!" Teacher Dong applauded when he saw him finishing his move.
Then his expression changed and he hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I feel a little weak." Zhang Yuan supported himself on the ground with a stick and took several deep breaths.
"Hey, there's a saying that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. If you don't have enough food to eat, why would you practice martial arts?"
He has been controlling his weight recently for the role and maintaining a half-dead state.
Normally, when practicing a set of stick techniques, even if you sweat and breathe heavily, you will be able to recover within ten minutes and then do what you need to do.
It’s not possible now. I feel dizzy.
"Are you sick?" Dong Zhihua asked with concern.
"I'm just a little hungry and I didn't get enough sleep."
Teacher Dong nodded, thinking that this boy was really hateful, but the effect of filming this role was indeed amazing.
With this kind of willpower and professional attitude, it will be hard for him not to become famous in the future.
You wouldn’t know until you get to know him. After getting to know him, Dong Zhihua discovered that Zhang Yuan was really different from ordinary young people.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about the heroine in the crew, Miss Huang Shengyi.
Teacher Dong saw it all.
Although that person acted very seriously under Stephen Chow's "oppression", he saw all the impatience and endurance revealed in his eyes.
But Zhang Yuan didn't have that attitude at all. He seemed to think that no matter how many times he shot it, it was just work and he didn't care.
"Take a five-minute break first." At this time, Zhang Yuan shook his head, and after he became a little more sober, he took out a pack of plastic-wrapped cocoa-flavored milk from his dirty backpack. The milk was seldom seen later, but was very common at that time.
He bit the bag with the corner of his mouth, and after applying force, the bag was gradually stretched and torn. After making a hole, Zhang Yuan began to suck on it.
Suck...
It only took a minute to finish a bag.
Although this thing is called a dairy product, it is actually more like sugar water.
What Zhang Yuan needed was a quick way to replenish sugar, and this thing was just right.
In less than five minutes, he stood up and shook his head, and his condition was almost recovered.
"After all, they are young..." Teacher Dong sighed.
"Teacher Dong, how about we practice?"
"Okay."
In the following days, Zhang Yuan and Dong Zhihua often practiced together.
Like I said at the beginning, learn from each other.
Zhang Yuan taught him the Wulang Bagua stick, and he taught Zhang Yuan the basics of Peking Opera martial arts.
They even seemed to be becoming close friends regardless of age difference, calling each other teacher.
There are several classic fighting scenes in "Kung Fu".
It includes the three external masters showing their power, Tiancan Dique fighting against the three heroes, The Condor Heroes fighting against the evil god, and the final battle between black and white.
Zhang Yuan felt that, in comparison, the battle between Master Xing and the Fire Cloud Evil God seemed ordinary.
The most exciting part of the plot is when three external masters appear and the other three are killed instantly by Tiancan Dique, and then the Condor Heroes kill Tiancan Dique again instantly.
If you watch these two scenes together, it actually has a lot of flavor to the routine of beheading Hua Xiong with warm wine in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Axe Gang set off the three masters, the three masters set off the two Zither Demons, and after the Zither Demons were forced to fight, they were killed instantly by the landlady's parents-in-law.
If the characters are swapped, the three masters are replaced by Pan Feng, the Zither Demon is replaced by Hua Xiong, and the landlady-in-law is replaced by Guan Gong, the story will be the same as "The Three Kingdoms".
The scene we are going to shoot now is the scene where the three masters make their first appearance.
In fact, when Sammo Hung was alive, he had already directed quite a few action scenes.
Among them is the current one.
Hong Jinbao is indeed a domineering person and he is used to being the big brother.
Generally, a martial arts director just cooperates with the director.
he does not!
As long as there are fighting scenes, he must be the one to direct them. That is to say, when filming the fighting scenes, he sits in front of the monitor and Stephen Chow can only move a small stool to the side and watch.
How could the tyrant Zhou Xingchi accept this scene?
It's normal to break up.
"Ah!" In front of the camera, Dong Zhihua swung the long stick in his hand and hit a member of the Axe Gang in the chest.
There was a dull thud, and the little brother flew backwards into the air and hit a brick wall, raising a cloud of dust.
Don’t think too much. Teacher Dong is not a one-in-a-million martial arts genius. I have wires tied to my body.
"Card!"
Now, after replacing Sammo Hung, Stephen Chow sat in front of the monitor, while Yuan Baye sat next to him on the same folding stool as him, watching.
Otherwise, Master Yuan Ba has done more work, and he is not as domineering as the eldest senior brother.
"Mr. Eight, what do you think?" Mr. Xing asked politely.
If you don't argue with him, he will calm down and talk in a nice way.
"Not bad, much better than before!" Mr. Ba knew very well that the director had insisted on reshooting some of the scenes directed by the senior brother, just to declare his sovereignty over the film.
Of course he had to respond with a smile.
We are all people of the world, and we all know those little tricks.
But at the same time, Mr. Ba was not talking nonsense. Even he could clearly see that Teacher Dong's stick skills were much more powerful than before.
The camera is full of power, with a sense of hard work and unparalleled dominance. "Oh, it seems that the young man named Zhang Yuan taught well." Mr. Ba knew what Mr. Xing had arranged.
"I noticed it during the audition." Stephen Chow said with a smile, but he did not mention that it was actually Sammo Hung who really noticed Zhang Yuan's stick fighting skills during the audition.
"That's a pity. His character doesn't have any fighting scenes." said Mr. Ba.
Despite saying this, Yuan Heping kept his name in his heart.
"Teacher Dong, that was good just now. Keep going later." Stephen Chow praised him, and Dong Zhihua also showed a gratified smile.
These days of practice were not in vain.
"Zhihua, did you really practice martial arts with that boy?"
Zhao Zhilin and Shi Xingyu, who had originally planned to watch the fun, walked forward.
The two of them also noticed that the blows Dong Zhihua had just received had indeed made a big difference.
"Don't use that kid, call him Teacher Zhang." Dong Zhihua joked, "Even if he only teaches one move, he is still a teacher of one move."
"Hey, are you kidding me? You were conquered by him?" The two were shocked.
Could it be that Zhang Yuan is the reincarnation of a succubus? He managed to deal with Old Dong in just a few days.
It seemed that not only did she lose her temper and confrontational emotions, but she also seemed to be quite appreciative of him.
"Don't say anything, don't lose face, just cheer you up."
Why are these two looking for trouble?
The crew was bored while filming and wanted to find some fun.
On the other hand, Zhang Yuan had no fighting scenes, and they didn't know at first that this new actor knew martial arts until Stephen Chow arranged for him to teach Dong Zhihua, and then the two of them realized it.
These two are really cunning. They want Old Dong to charge forward, but they are hiding behind to observe the situation first and find out Zhang Yuan's ability.
Just like when they were filming "The Grandmaster of Tai Chi" that year, Wu Jing instigated Master Yu Hai and Chow Billy to fight.
He ran to Yu Hai and said, "Teacher Yu, Zhou Billy has heavy legs, you must wear protective gear!"
He ran to Zhou Billy and said, "Brother Zhou, Teacher Yu has a heavy hand, you have to be careful, wear protective gear, don't get hurt!"
Who are the warriors?
There are many people with stubborn tempers, and the higher their level, the more confident they are, and the more stubborn they are.
As a result, the two of them were instigated by Wu Jing and did not bring any protection.
After fighting one battle, both of them went to the prop master to ask for protective gear.
It hurts so much!
It's always like this, people like to watch the fun, no matter how big the event.
"Teacher Dong, congratulations, the shot has passed." At this time, Zhang Yuan also stepped forward.
"That's because you taught me well."
“You taught well, too.”
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Teacher Dong!"
The two people on the side looked back and forth.
I rely on!
Before I knew the bottom, I still lured someone away.
After congratulating, Zhang Yuan turned and left, then looked back with a wicked smile.
"Okay, you two like to watch the fun and stir up trouble, right?"
He turned around and came to Master Xing.
"Director, I have a little idea for the character."
"What do you think?" Master Xing raised his head and asked with a smile.
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Only after he performed well in the crew and the suggestions he had put forward before were indeed effective, Stephen Chow was willing to welcome him with a smile.
"Why, do you want to add more scenes for Brother Chen?" Master Xing asked without hesitation.
"No, it's not Brother Chen, it's the tailor."
"Oh?"
A few hours later, in front of the camera.
Zhao Zhilin, who plays the tailor, wears this white silk shirt on his upper body, and the hem of the shirt is tied together with a bow.
This look was very common on young women in Hong Kong films or foreign films in the 80s.
As for his lower body, he wore a pair of translucent thin silk boxer briefs. Even a person with 1000 degrees of myopia could see the bright red waistband of his underwear through these cheap pants.
"Huh..." Teacher Zhao took a deep breath. He almost collapsed from this pose.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who couldn't hold on.
"Hey Hey……"
"why are you laughing?"
Zhao Zhilin questioned Shi Xingyu who was standing by.
"I thought of something very happy."
The director team and Stephen Chow also grinned and clapped their hands.
"One word, absolutely!"
Originally, the character of the tailor was designed to be timid and cowardly in daily life, but when fighting, he uses the extremely powerful Hong family iron coil.
In this way, the contrast in personality can be created.
However, when Zhang Yuan pointed out that many fashion designers, especially male fashion designers, are mostly gay, Stephen Chow immediately understood what he meant.
And Zhang Yuan really wasn’t talking nonsense.
Christian Dior, founder of Dior.
Yves Saint Laurent, the founder of Saint Laurent.
Hubert de Givenchy, founder of Givenchy.
Fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld...he and Yves Saint Laurent were once a couple.
Giorgio Armani, founder of Armani.
Valentino Garavani, founder of Valentino.
Tom Ford, founder of Tom Ford.
Alexander McQueen, the founder of McQueen.
Anyway, most of the founders of the well-known international brands are men, and most of these men are strong men.
These men understand women better than women do...
"You are a rabbit once, you are a rabbit all your life."
"Look, you're wearing a pair of red panties underneath, and your white skin is showing through."
"Have you kept it tight? Be careful not to let it leak out!"
After Yuan Qiu, who played the landlady, finished her lines, she glanced at Zhao Zhilin's red underwear and burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I laughed."
"Hahaha……"
For a moment, the set was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Of course, not everyone was laughing.
For example, in the scene just now, the tailor played by Zhao Zhilin was scolded by the landlady and cried.
Teacher Zhao’s crying scene is very good and very real... because it is real.
This person is crying!
Wow, let me play a rabbit and wear red underwear.
When the movie is released, how will my more than 100,000 students view me?
My face!
Zhang Yuan folded his arms across his chest.
"Hurt each other?"
"I'm a professional!" (End of this chapter)
