"Teacher Liang, please accept my greetings!"

Under Zhang Yuan's introduction, Huang Julong, a martial arts fanatic who had been a martial arts athlete, a stunt double, and a double-flowered red stick, with an extremely complicated background but an extremely simple heart, knelt on the ground and prostrated himself in front of Liang Xiaolong.

Zhang Yuan understood that with the extent of Huang Julong's admiration for Liang Xiaolong, the two would eventually meet one day even without his introduction.

He remembered that in his previous life, around 08, Huang Julong became Liang Xiaolong's disciple.

He was the kind of formal disciple who offered tea and kowtowed, and was also given a red envelope as a gift of "tea to the master".

Liang Xiaolong was just as generous as he was many years ago when he supported the mainland and was banned by Taiwan. He immediately asked Huang Julong to donate the red envelope to the disaster area that had just been hit by the earthquake.

At that time, the middleman between the master and the apprentice should have been Big Brother Sammo Hung, but now it has been replaced by him, and the matter has been brought forward by a few years.

And what about Liang Xiaolong?
He was banned in 84 and unbanned in 91, wasting nearly ten years of his life, the peak period of his career and the time when he was most famous.

So even after the ban was lifted, he had already long since passed the limelight. It was not until 01 that he came to the mainland to film a TV series called "The Sequel to Chen Zhen".

Although this film starred big stars such as He Qing, Ding Haifeng, and Chen Baoguo, it still failed to make any splash.

Although "Kung Fu" is about to be completed, it has not yet been released, and he has not become popular again with the role of Fire Cloud Evil God.

After nearly twenty years of silence, a boy suddenly comes out, kneels down in front of you, and tells you all about your past "achievements" with admiration in his eyes.

How do you feel?
Touched, excited, heart-pounding... none of these three emotions can be missing.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. This was the lowest point in Liang Xiaolong's acting career, the darkness before dawn.

With such a close friend, and judging from the skeleton, limbs muscles, breath and pace, he can clearly know that the other person is a martial artist like himself. How can Liang Xiaolong not love him?

The father and son soon started chatting and got along quite well.

Zhang Yuan didn't bother him, he just walked over and said hello...

"Uncle Long, Brother Long, you guys chat first. If there's a chance in the evening, I'll organize a dinner for everyone to have a meal together."

"Okay."

"Thanks a lot, brother!"

[Received thanks from Huang Julong, boxing basics +2, sword basics +2, leg basics +2, physical fitness +1! ]

[Received thanks from Liang Xiaolong, Wing Chun +5, leg technique understanding +3, karate basics +2! ]

Turn around and leave, looking at the attributes you have grabbed.

“You can help others achieve their goals and gain something from it.”

"Not bad."

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan followed the crew to the scene where the Fire Cloud Evil God caught the bullet with his bare hands a few days ago, which was also the headquarters of the Axe Gang in the film.

A statue of Guan Gong made of black iron, majestic and solemn.

The patterned mahogany floor is shiny and enchanting.

There was a huge plaque with red characters on a black background, with the three big characters "Axe Gang" inscribed on it, which gave off a chilling aura.

Coupled with the dim lighting arranged by the lighting engineer, this scene and this environment would scare even a child to tears.

But the scene that we are going to shoot now probably won’t make people cry out of fear, but crying out of laughter is possible.

"Zhang Yuan, you will lead the dance later." Stephen Chow said.

What is about to be filmed is the scene of the Axe Gang dancing with axes in their hands.

At the end of this scene, the chaotic scene after the duel between Fire Cloud Evil God and The Return of the Condor Heroes will be filmed, and the interior of the scene will be completely destroyed.

So before that, you need to shoot all the shots that can be taken.

In the morning and at noon, at the request of Master Xing, Zhang Yuan led Axe to help everyone dance.

Normally, when filming a dance scene, the crew would invite professional dance teachers or experts to help supervise and design the dance moves, but Stephen Chow didn't do that.

"You just need to choreograph, lead the dance and give them instructions." Stephen Chow said, patting him on the shoulder.

What Stephen Chow wants is that kind of "wild" state. The more bizarre and irregular it is, the better.

This strange sense of contrast is exactly what he wants.

Of course, saving money is also one aspect...

"Can you dance too?" Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yibai and Xu Fan were also watching the show.

"I've learned a little bit, but it's enough."

"Wow, that's incredible." Director Feng saw how humble he was and thought that this kid really knew a lot.

According to Stephen Chow's intention, this dancing scene adopts a "gradual" technique.

At the beginning, it was Zhang Yuan's solo dance, and then as time went on, more and more younger brothers in black suits joined in, until finally, the camera was full of gangsters.

This can be considered an early version of the gangster shake picture.

The reason for doing this is that Stephen Chow wanted to express the development and growth of the Axe Gang through the language of the camera.

There are more and more people, the things they do are getting bloodier and bloodier, and their power is getting stronger and stronger...

He is stingy, but he is also capable.

"Come on, get ready, Zhang Yuan will dance solo first... ACTION!"

Zhang Yuan, holding a prop axe, stood under the spotlight.

Several fixed anchor points were set on the beams, and the crew's cameras were hung on them, looking down from a high place, shooting the dance scene from a God's perspective.

He looks relieved and relaxed in the camera.

The limbs are soft and smooth, like seaweed, seaweed... swaying in the wind.

Slide and twist, keep your hands and legs tightly "clamped" at your sides, and move in small and slow movements.

"Is this what he meant by being able to dance?" Feng Xiaogang's nickname is Feng Dapao, and he never stops talking.

"Why do you look like a maggot wriggling around?"

Phew... Zhang Yibai covered his mouth with his fist and almost laughed out loud.

Xu Fan, who was standing by, patted her husband with her palm and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I think he did it on purpose."

Although Xu Fan does not have a professional dance background, she has studied Peking Opera and has a certain foundation in body movements.

Sure enough, when the two younger brothers joined the "dance", Zhang Yuan's hands and feet began to stretch and his movements gradually became larger.

As more and more people joined, his actions became more and more ostentatious.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as dancing with joy.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang, who just thought that Zhang Yuan’s dance was “what the hell”, also stopped.

Because we are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing the goods.

None of the actors present, whether they were extras, special guests or supporting actors, had received professional dance training.

But only Zhang Yuan, the leader, got a lot of points from several professional dancers.

These include but are not limited to Sun Honglei, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Shishi...

I can’t say I can compare with professional dancers, but I can still reach a semi-professional beginner or intermediate level.

Compared with the people behind him, Zhang Yuan's movements were extremely smooth and pleasing to the eye.

"He can really dance!"

Hand movements, foot movements, waist movements.

Compared with Zhang Yuan, the dance moves of others can be described in two words: stiff.

Only he is as flexible as a swimming fish, light and agile.

Director Feng didn’t know why these two words could be attached to a grown man.

Even though he was a layman, he could see that that kind of relaxed state was not something an outsider could achieve.

Speaking of which, Director Feng is obsessed with dance. It can be seen from the later film "Youth" that deep in his heart he has a special hobby for dancers, especially female dancers.

The reason for this is that the two "big brothers" Wang Shuo and Ye Jing, who once brought him to his debut, were talented and had good backgrounds when they were young. They often went to the gate of Beijing Dance Academy to pick up girls and often took girls to the woods.

As for what they were doing in the woods?

Anyway, Director Feng, who was not very talented or good-looking at the time and had a relatively poor background in the compound, could only envy and was almost crying with envy.

This can be considered as the spiritual loss of his youth.

So after seeing that Zhang Yuanzhen could dance, he developed a strange liking for him.

"I see that he can not only dance, but also choreograph." At this time, his wife Xu Fan beside him looked up and said softly, "I just saw what Zhou Xingchi said to him, this dance should be choreographed by Zhang Yuan himself."

"So if you think at first that his movements are like those of a maggot, you're right."

"Later, as the number of people increased, the movements became increasingly exaggerated, which was probably intentional."

"Look at his expression again."

"From the initial patience and silence to the gradual madness later on, it is obvious that the dance is used to show the character's changes."

"After all, it's not just butterflies that can break out of their cocoons and fly. Maggots and flies can also be found."

"Oh..." Director Feng and Director Zhang finally understood.

After all, women are sensible. The two grown men were like wild boars eating fine bran and could not taste the flavor at all.

The meaning of this dance is that the maggots in Brother Chen's sewer changed from worms to flies, and gathered a bunch of flies, buzzing and partying in that rotten era.

This is in stark contrast to Xingzai's eventual opening of his Ren and Du meridians and his emergence from cocoon into a butterfly.

After listening to it, Director Feng and Director Zhang finally realized that there are so many tricks to dancing in such a short period of time.

This kid is too attentive.

"He said he learned a little bit, but I think it's more than that." Xu Fan tapped his feet.

"One, two, three... just follow the rhythm and count."

"Although there were no drum beats or music, each of his movements was perfectly timed to the beat."

"Oh..." After his wife reminded him, Director Feng understood why the dancing of those extras did not look as harmonious as Zhang Yuan's.

Those guys all learned it on the fly, and when it came to timing, they were either too fast or too slow, or they paid too much attention to timing, making the movements look stiff.

"Okay, he has this talent. I'll let him show it in my film if I have the chance. We can't waste it." Director Feng said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan didn't know that although he was taking advantage of others every day, he was also being schemed against and taken advantage of by others.

"what!"

Twenty or thirty actors, including Zhang Yuan, shouted and raised the axes in their hands into the air.

"Card!"

Master Stephen Chow was laughing and clapping beside him.

“Go ahead!”

"Not bad."

"Take a five-minute break first..."

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to sit down and could only stand to rest, for fear that his trousers would get wrinkled.

As usual, Stephen Chow NGed this scene thirty-six times.

Usually, the close-up shots of only Zhang Yuan himself are better, and he can basically control it to around ten times.

In other crews, shooting more than ten times in one take is already exaggerated, but in Stephen Chow's work, Zhang Yuan has become the envy of other actors.

But there were other actors in this dance scene, which was beyond his control.

Both colleagues Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yibai were stunned.

With this much time, they can both finish filming a scene.

"I finally understand how that guy became so skinny." Director Feng shook his head as he watched, "He must be tired!"

He and Zhang Yibai looked at each other and thought, had he walked into a den of thieves by agreeing to come and make a guest appearance?

Soon, their ideas were confirmed.

"Director Feng, move your hand a little lower and touch it."

"Touch from top to bottom."

In the evening, on the Republic of China style street in Chedun Film and Television Base.

Now that we have found two great directors, we have to arrange the filming quickly.

So he adjusted his schedule that night to shoot the scene of the boss of the Crocodile Gang.

Zhang Yibai was assigned the role of the boss of the police station.

Compared to Director Feng, Director Zhang has it much easier.

What is being filmed now are the scenes where the Crocodile Gang boss makes a scene in the shop and then moves to the street.

In addition to Director Feng and a few of his younger brothers, there was also an actress named Ren Jiayue.

She has a hairstyle in the style of the Republic of China.

This hairstyle is called hand-pushed waves, and is often seen on singers, dancers or various "socialites".

And the actress plays the woman of the Crocodile Gang boss.

The gangster’s girlfriend is naturally not a decent woman, so this hairstyle is just right for her.

She was wearing a floral cheongsam with a white background, red edges and embroidered peonies.

Her hand was draped with a plain lace shawl and she was holding a lady's cigarette with a holder.

When walking, it's like the wind swaying the lotus leaves and the rain moistening the banana leaves.

The actress herself has a curvy figure, and the cheongsam is half a size too small... Master Xing, you really know your stuff!
This costume highlights the actress's curvy figure and makes her look sexy.

Although she is not a top beauty, she is enough to touch the hearts of most men.

This actress is not very famous, but she did star in the TV series "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" in later generations... the one with "My name is not Hey, my name is Chu Yuxuan".

In terms of appearance, she looks a bit like Liu Zi, but with a better figure.

However, this person is the type who has more drama than work.

Later, it was revealed that she had anonymously "revealed" on Tianya that other celebrities, especially the two Bing and Huang Xiaoming, had plastic surgery.

This person once "joined" Huayi for a while, but small fire depends on people, big fire depends on fate. Without that fate, he can only be left with envy and jealousy.

And now, according to Stephen Chow's request, Director Feng needs to caress this person's waist and hips lustfully while walking.

Given Director Feng's personality, this matter is easy to handle.

Not to mention touching a butt, even grabbing one is no problem.

But there are two points.

First, it’s in front of the camera.

Second, Xu Fan was standing aside with his hands on his hips.

On the one hand, it's a matter of face, and on the other hand, it's a matter of life and death, so he can't let go.

After shooting it over and over ten times, this simple shot still didn't pass.

Zhang Yuan had been putting on makeup while waiting for the show. Now he was leaning against the wall and almost fell asleep.

"Zhang Yuan?"

"Zhang Yuan!"

"Ah, it's my turn?" He was suddenly awakened when he heard someone calling him.

"The director wants to see you."

Following the executive director, I came to Stephen Chow's side.

"Zhang Yuan, Director Feng can't let go. In this scene, they're just clapping. Why don't you take over?"

He pointed at himself: "Me?"

"What to shoot?"

"A pat on the butt?"

"who?"

"her."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the girl in the cheongsam and scratched his head: "It's not appropriate."

The actress looked at Feng Xiaogang's appearance, then turned to look at Zhang Yuan's appearance, licked her lips, smiled and nodded while replying.

"suitable!"

Zhang Yuan: ...(End of this chapter)
