The open space used for training.

Zhang Yuan, who plays the male lead Yang Guo, has been very popular recently.

He is a regular on the headlines of newspapers.

These days, the heat of the beating incident on the set has just subsided a little, but as soon as the press conference for "A World Without Thieves" started yesterday, he was in the news again.

In addition, he arrived late yesterday, giving him a hazy feeling, as if he was still holding a pipa with his face half covered.

Therefore, many crew members were interested in him.

There were also a lot of people coming to watch him and Zhao Hongfei sparring.

Zhao Hongfei attacked dozens of times in a row, and seeing Zhang Yuan repeatedly retreating to defend himself, he remembered that he did the same thing when he fought with Liu Qianqian yesterday.

"Is this person so weak-willed?"

"I dare not attack, I only dare to defend."

"Then you keep defending and lose."

Zhao Hongfei changed his moves and attacked from top, middle and bottom, but was repeatedly avoided by Zhang Yuan.

The fact that the opponent only dodged and did not attack made him a little annoyed, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his originally cold and arrogant face.

At this time, the martial arts school coach who was organizing Zhang Yuan's sparring had already noticed something was wrong.

"This kid seems to be dodging in a very awkward manner, but how come he doesn't even breathe?"

Just as the coach was puzzled and Zhao Hongfei was attacking fiercely, a rough male voice floated from a distance and reached everyone's ears.

"Zhang Yuan!"

It was him who was shouting.

When Zhang Yuan heard the voice, he turned his head away out of habit. Isn't that what all people do?

As soon as he turned his head, Zhao Hongfei, who was already feeling a little uncomfortable because of his improper retreat defense, saw the opportunity.

"Still distracted during sparring?"

Zhao Hongfei raised his eyebrows, raised his sword and stabbed at Zhang Yuan's throat.

Of course, he didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Yuan's misfortune and hurt him.

Not only are he and Zhang Yuan not ugly, they also have some kind of friendship between them.

What he was thinking of was to lock his throat with a move, put the sword in front of Zhang Yuan's neck, and then stop steadily while saying.

"Brother Zhang was careless."

"I see that you have amazing talents in martial arts. Why don't we practice together?"

"I am not talented, but I have some experience that I would like to share with Brother Zhang."

In this way, by picking up the role that others don't want, you can repay the friendship.

You can also make friends with this popular young actor, killing two birds with one stone.

This is what these people who usually don’t talk much are like.

Even though he doesn't talk, there are all kinds of dramas going on in his mind all the time.

But this kind of intracranial drama often fails.

The reason why Zhang Yuan kept retreating to defend and not attacking was not because he was playing tricks on the opponent or pretending to be weak.

In this crew, he had no reason to do so.

It was because he forced himself to adapt to a completely different force technique and body movement.

This is why his moves look so soft and powerless.

These were all considerations for character shaping, and were also the reasons why he hurried over to participate in the training camp.

He himself is very clear about Zhao Hongfei's strength.

After these dozens of moves, he had basically figured out the opponent.

Similar to but different from Liu Xixi, their power-generating techniques are not derived from authentic Chinese martial arts.

The former stems from dance skills, while the latter stems from opera skills.

Zhao Hongfei's force-generating technique is a bit like that of teacher Yuan Quan, the "Dripping Guanyin".

After all, Teacher Yuan Quan has a background in Huashan, so he also needs to be able to fight and use a sword.

Therefore, after finding out the opponent's approximate strength, he relaxed his vigilance and turned away when someone shouted at him. This situation should not occur in a sparring match.

Because subconsciously, he didn't regard the other party as an opponent at all.

There were many people watching around, and he was squinting through the crowd to see who was calling him, when he instinctively felt his neck tighten!
The goose bumps are centered at the Adam's apple and quickly spread to all parts of the body.

This is the instinctive reaction of martial artists who have practiced martial arts for many years when they are attacked.

It wasn't the sixth sense, but the slight sound of the wind, the blurry peripheral vision, and even the smell of murderous intent.

The so-called murderous aura is a certain hormone secreted by the body of a creature when it attacks. Many animals can feel it, and trained humans can also vaguely perceive it.

Zhang Yuan had learned so much basic martial arts knowledge from various masters, even top masters, so he was naturally much more alert than the average martial artist.

At that moment, less than one-fifth of a second, his body moved instinctively.

The pupils contracted, the muscles tensed, and the legs suddenly exerted force.

The force started from the ground and reached his waist. His body suddenly leaned back and instantly blocked the opponent's sword.

With a flip of his wrist, a pull and a flick, the opponent's sword flew out of his hand and flew into the air!
The long sword used for practice fell down with a whoosh, and before it touched the ground, the tip of the sword in Zhang Yuan's hand was already against the opponent's throat.

It took him just over a second to complete the entire set of movements, and everyone present was in a trance.

The person who was most dazed was the person involved, Zhao Hongfei.

He just felt that he had just swung the sword in his hand, and then the scene in front of his eyes blurred, and his hand felt lighter.

It took him two or three seconds to react. The opponent's sword seemed to be right next to his neck.

Gudong!

He swallowed instinctively, and when he looked up again, he saw Zhang Yuan's eyes were like a pair of tiger's, staring at him as if he was looking at prey.

"I should have been pointing at his neck, why is it the other way around?"

He doesn't understand.

And he felt an instinctive fear of Zhang Yuan's ferocious aura at this moment.

He had been wondering how a man who only knew how to defend and retreat in battle could snatch the male lead of the play from Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming?
Now, when he looked at the ferocious eyes in front of him, he seemed to understand something.

"Hey!" Zhang Yuan just reacted and quickly withdrew his hand.

His expression and eyes returned to normal.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry."

"my question."

He quickly put the sword aside, then picked up the opponent's sword and returned it with both hands.

"I didn't react immediately, please forgive me."

"You..." Zhao Hongfei raised his hand to take his sword, but found that his hands were shaking badly.

Only then did he remember that the opponent, whom he had previously evaluated as weak in his mind, had actually knocked the sword in his hand away with just one move, leaving him with a numbness in his palm.

This strength...

"Have you ever practiced martial arts?" Before Zhao Hongfei could ask, a middle-aged man with long hair parted in the middle walked up from a distance.

"Hello, director." Everyone greeted.

The person who came was the crew director Yu Min, and it was also him who called Zhang Yuan from a distance just now.

This person walked forward and looked Zhang Yuan up and down.

“It seems like it’s really dark.”

But it was still a little pale, far from the contrast effect he had in mind.

The so-called contrast effect is twofold.

One is the contrast with the Bai Gu version.

The second is the contrast with Liu Xixi’s Little Dragon Girl.

After all, the darker Zhang Yuan is, the whiter and more fairy-like Qianqian will appear.

Zhang Yuan deliberately went to the beach in Shiina to tan his skin, and he indeed became a lot darker.

But after a period of recuperation, I mostly shot night scenes, and soon I lost a lot of my time.

In Yu Min's eyes, this seemed a bit perfunctory.

He is the kind of director with a strong desire for control. In addition, he is always followed by Big Beard and has Zhang Jizhong to pressure the actors. He always has the final say in the crew and tells the actors to do whatever he wants.

But there happened to be a "thorn" here.

"Your skin color is not dark enough. It doesn't meet the filming requirements of the crew."

wipe!
Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes. I just arrived at the crew, and you're planning to show me your power and set rules?

He laughed and pushed back.

"Director Yu, I have tried my best. If I really cannot meet the crew's requirements, Producer Zhang and I can take the initiative to ask him to replace the actor with a more suitable one before filming begins, so as not to delay the crew's filming."

Yu Min: …

Director Yu thought that Big Beard was very unhappy because he had asked for leave to film and did not attend the training camp.

So the bearded man made special instructions and told him to be careful when "using" this kid.

He wanted to take this opportunity to assert his initiative, but was choked back by Zhang Yuan's words.

The reason why the bearded man can "oppress" the actors so much is because of two tricks.

I can make you famous, but I also dare to fire you!

But Zhang Yuan is already famous, and Big Beard doesn't dare to fire him without a very strong reason.

Otherwise, I can't explain to Ma Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei. The big bearded man can't do anything to me, so who are you to blame... Zhang Yuan knew this clearly, so he dared to "apply for resignation".

Besides, he had no plans to cooperate with the bearded man for a long time, so he was not afraid of Yu Min.

"Ahem." Yu Min cleared her throat. She came here to show her power, but ended up feeling embarrassed.

"It's not that serious. You're still the most suitable candidate. As for the skin color problem, you can just fix it with makeup. It's not a big deal."

He had no choice but to ask and answer his own questions and solve the problems he raised.

"The male lead is here, let's welcome him." Then, in order to ease the awkwardness, he took the lead in applauding to welcome him.

Yu Min left soon after, and everyone else could feel that there was not complete harmony between Zhang Yuan and the director.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

At this time, Zhao Hongfei clasped his hands together and asked again.

"Brother Zhang, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Ah, I have practiced."

Zhao Hongfei: ...

I said so.

Then I'll just calculate and teach people...that's not right.

Zhao Hongfei suddenly reacted.

The reason he suddenly jumped out today and wanted to practice with Zhang Yuan was because he was defeated miserably by our Little Dragon Girl yesterday.

Just look at his speed, strength, and momentum just now.

Could she lose to the Little Dragon Girl who drank Wahaha?

At the same time, two other people raised the same question.

"How did you beat him yesterday?"

Liu Qianqian's classmates Wang Jia and female martial arts student Zhao Dandan all tilted their heads and asked.

Wang Jia only knew that Zhang Yuan knocked Zhao Hongfei's sword away with one sword, but it was clearly his sword that was knocked away by Qianqian yesterday. This was obviously unreasonable.

She just knew that something was wrong, but Miss Zhao, who had practiced martial arts for many years, understood what was wrong.

"His reaction speed is too fast!"

"And his accuracy is frighteningly high."

Zhao Dandan didn't see Zhang Yuan's movements clearly, she just got a general idea of ​​them.

She knew very well that if she couldn't see clearly, it meant that the other person was definitely above her, and much taller.

And she is Liu Xixi's sparring partner, how could she not know this girl's strength?
Liu Qianqian's cheeks turned pink. She cleared her throat, raised her chin, tilted her neck like a proud swan, and said with a smile, "You don't understand."

"Only I can defeat him."

The two young girls frowned in confusion.

At lunch time, everyone came to a simply decorated shop to eat.

This is the "kitchen" that the crew gave to Cao Jianjun and his team for temporary use. There are many empty houses and shops in the scenic area, so it will not be open to the public until the filming is completed.

"Wow, today's dishes are so good?" said Wang Jia, who plays Cheng Ying, as he looked at the fried hairtail, blanched prawns and the local specialty garlic mussels in the lunch box.

The so-called mussels are a kind of black shellfish that looks a bit like green clams.

"The person who cooked is Zhang Yuan's man." Xixi took a bite of hairtail and said while chewing.

"Oh..." Wang Jia understood immediately: "He is so awesome, he even paid for the crew's meals."

"Yes, he's very good." As Xixi was speaking, she noticed that her classmate was looking at her plate, so she quickly raised her hand to protect it: "What are you doing?"

"Why are your shrimps so much bigger than mine?"

"I'm lucky."

"No, it's also bigger than mine." Zhao Dandan, who played Hong Lingbo, also picked up a shrimp and compared it.

"I'm lucky." Xixi continued to emphasize.

The two women looked at each other and understood what was going on.

"No wonder you can beat him."

"No wonder our food improved after he came."

"It's all because of Xixi, isn't it?" Wang Jia pushed her with his shoulder.

Liu Qianqian's cheeks were still pink as before, and she whispered back, "No, everyone is the same."

“Then give me your shrimp.”

"no!"

Several girls were eating and playing.

After dinner, Xixi felt dizzy and went for a nap.

Zhang Yuan sat and chatted with Zhao Hongfei.

"Zhang Yuan, are you left-handed?" he asked.

"No." Zhang Yuan replied immediately.

"Then I saw you use your left hand when you wield the sword, and you also use your left hand to hold chopsticks when you eat."

He felt strange just now that Zhang Yuan was eating with his left hand and it was not going smoothly.

"I'm playing Yang Guo, so I have to adapt in advance." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Yang Guo...Oh!" Zhao Hongfei thought about it and then reacted.

Yang Guo had his right arm chopped off by Guo Fu in the later period.

He is adapting to the character in advance.

Zhao Hongfei clasped his hands together and gave him a look of respect.

"major."

"Hey, it's all I'd expect." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

Teacher Ma Yue, who played Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin in "The Reign of Zhenguan", is basically a recognized template of Li Shimin in the minds of the audience in the Chinese film and television industry.

The acting is really great.

Moreover, he is good at bel canto and is also an opera singer of the Railway Art Troupe.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is omnipotent.

This actor once starred in a movie called "My Left Hand".

The prototype of this film is General Ding Xiaobing, who is also known as the "one-armed hero" and is the only active Chinese soldier who salutes with his left hand.

The film mainly tells the story of this real hero who remained tenacious after being injured, stayed in the army and performed superhuman deeds despite his disability.

In order to play this role well, Mr. Ma Yue started practicing living with one hand before filming began.

Not only that, you also have to do one-handed push-ups, go on the horizontal bar, tie your shoelaces, and pack your backpack. Everything has to be done according to the real thing.

For these tasks, ordinary people would have difficulty doing them with both hands. In order to adapt to the role, he gritted his teeth and practiced until he could complete them all with one hand.

Otherwise, how could he be an artist?

In order to avoid his own instinctive reaction during the filming, he even tied his right hand in his trouser pocket with tape.

This is the dumbest but most effective method.

What Zhang Yuan is doing now is similar to what Teacher Ma Yue is doing, but it is still far from enough.

Zhao Hongfei now understands better why Zhang Yuan was able to beat Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming to get the role.

"If I were the director, I would choose him too!"

Otherwise, why do people say that he can be an actor but not a director?

When a director chooses a role, he doesn’t just look at acting skills and professionalism.

Let’s not talk about the bearded guy who has been focusing on making money and making fools of celebrities for a hundred years.

As for director Yu Min, in addition to following the bearded man to find Yuanzi, the Yang Guo he wanted most at the beginning was actually Nie Yuan.

Because he and Nie Yuan had worked together in a TV series called "Sister-in-law" six or seven years ago, so of course he wanted to use "his own people".

In this business, nepotism is the norm!
"By the way, Hongfei." Zhang Yuan addressed him in a more intimate way: "Please take good care of me in the future, and practice with me often."

"Ah!" Zhao Hongfei looked embarrassed.

He is so good, why does he need to practice with me?

You're not trying to embarrass me on purpose.

"Don't think too much. I really want to practice with you."

"After all, I am a fan of Peking Opera."

"You have this hobby?" Zhao Hongfei immediately became interested when he heard him say that.

Because the market is so depressed, most of those who specialize in Peking Opera feel like they are meeting family members when they meet people who share the same interests.

"I also learned some Da Wusheng techniques from Teacher Dong Zhihua."

"That's great. I've learned martial arts. We can discuss this together when we have time!"

"Communicate together!"

After a few words, the relationship between the two became closer.

Zhang Yuan chose him because although this man looked aloof, he was actually a nice person.

Furthermore, he actually felt sorry for this guy.

Because in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, Zhao Hongfei is also a well-known top unlucky guy... (End of this chapter)
