Most of the time, life on set is pretty boring.

Imagine working from 9 to 5, or even 6 to 10, for several months at a time, and being confined to a restricted area and unable to leave.

Workers may have two days off or one day off on weekends, but there is no rest when filming.

If the crew has high demands and the actor encounters an emotionally unstable director or producer, the actor may collapse at any time.

Of course, if the director is too emotionally stable, the actors may also break down.

For example, the King of Sunglasses.

The director is fine, but the actors and investors are crazy...

The same is true for the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The bearded man had very high demands on the actors, and the scenes were tightly scheduled, so everyone was already very tired.

Originally, Zhang Zhenyong had been looking for Zhang Yuan to compete in a martial arts match, and everyone actually wanted to watch it.

But since he was not very interested and he was the leading actor, others couldn't say anything.

But now that Yu Chenghui spoke, everyone became excited.

How can filming a movie be as exciting as watching one!
Even a few girls became excited.

Who wouldn’t be happy to watch some free fun?
"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, give me some melon seeds!" Liu Qianqian said as she followed Zhang Yuansheng, who was pushing a group of actors forward.

Zhang Yuan: …

Look at me, you're having fun. You even need me to provide you with melon seeds.

Before, Zhang Yuan was reluctant to compete with Zhang Zhenyong mainly because it was of no benefit.

If you fight him, you won't show your face if you win, but you will be embarrassed if you lose.

What can you get?

But it’s different now, with Yu Chenghui here.

This old man instigated me to compete with others just to see how good my kung fu is.

He thought of the time when the old man demonstrated a counterattack to him.

If I follow his wishes this time, I might be able to get some benefits.

Yu Chenghui indeed thought so.

It's rare to see a young man with such amazing talents... He has learned so much martial arts basics, so naturally he has amazing talents.

The old man thought that Zhang Yuan had talent, and if he was willing to learn well, it would not be impossible for him to teach him a few more moves.

The key is that many of his boxing, sword and knife techniques cannot be passed on even though he wants to.

It’s not that he is stingy, it’s just that practicing martial arts requires a lot of talent.

Even if he is willing to teach, you may not be able to learn!

Especially some advanced techniques, only very few people can practice them.

For example, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, this martial art was designed entirely based on his own experience.

After his death, no one could reach his height.

Like traditional industries such as martial arts, crosstalk and Peking opera, they value inheritance the most, but are also the easiest to lose.

When the old man saw Zhang Yuan learn the counter-attack technique that he had only demonstrated once, he decided to let him practice it.

China has always had a tradition of joining in the fun.

At the beginning, only he, the old man, Xiu Ge, Liu Qianqian, Zhao Xinxin, Wang Jia and a few others were walking forward.

After a few steps, more people came to watch.

By the time we arrived at the open space, dozens of people had already gathered there.

Even Yu Min and Zhao Jian came.

Zhao Jian and he are old acquaintances. He was present when he fought with Huang Julong on the set of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

He was also curious about how much progress Zhang Yuan had made.

Except for the leading actors and staff who are familiar with him.

Several tall men with unfriendly faces squeezed in from the outer circle of the crowd.

They are the martial arts school students.

"Zhang Yuan, my last name is also Zhang, so we are relatives." Zhang Zhenyong, also known as Shi Xinghan, said politely.

"So we just want to show our respect for each other?"

“So I’ll do my best!”

Zhang Yuan: …

Then why do you mention our family... Oh, it's more exciting to beat our own people, right?

Whoosh, without any more empty moves, Shi Xinghan immediately performed the starting posture of Shaolin Kung Fu.

"Okay, okay, just think of it as stretching your muscles." He rubbed his shoulders and assumed almost the same posture.

"Oh!" Shi Xinghan's eyes changed color.

He had heard that his senior brother Shi Xingyu was in low spirits after returning to Shaolin because he was defeated by the opponent using Shaolin boxing.

That's his original kung fu!
This kind of defeat is even more miserable.

Now that Shi Xinghan saw his opening move, he became more cautious.

“Fortunately, I know more than just Shaolin Kung Fu,” he thought.

The next second, he rushed forward quickly.

"The upper body is the posture of Shaolin boxing, and the lower body is the foundation of modern fighting." Grandpa Yu saw through Shi Xinghan's moves at a glance.

"Oh, really?" Although Zhao Jian is a martial arts director, his kung fu is not that advanced and is mostly just fancy moves.

"Sanda is derived from traditional Chinese martial arts and is combined with some modern Western fighting techniques."

"This big guy is quite smart and talented. Shaolin Kung Fu is good at both offense and defense, and combined with the flexible footwork of Sanda, it reduces his weakness of lack of flexibility due to his large physique."

Yu Chenghui didn't expect that this young man was quite interesting.

"Then Zhang Yuan will suffer a loss, as they have similar physiques." Zhao Jian said.

"That's not necessarily the case..."

boom!
Shi Xinghan was the first to punch with great force.

"Oh my god!" After Zhang Yuan caught it with his palm, he felt his palm go numb.

"This guy isn't kidding, he's really using all his strength!"

Zhang Yuan knew that Shi Xinghan did this to prove himself.

Prove that you are not worse than Shi Xingyu!

call!
With the wind of fists whistling, Shi Xinghan's attacks came from all directions, and Zhang Yuan frequently raised his hands to defend himself.

In just three to five minutes, he had figured out the opponent's approximate strength.

"I hid it a little bit, but that's it."

"His strength is comparable to Shi Xingyu's, and his movements are more flexible."

He estimated that if he tried his best and didn't care about getting hurt, he should be able to resolve the situation within twenty or thirty moves.

But he doesn't want to get hurt!

I still have to film.

When I fought with Shi Xingyu before, the scenes were almost done by then.

It’s different now, it will affect work.

Besides, after defeating Shi Xingyu, here comes Shi Xinghan.

If we beat Shi Xinghan again and more people from Shaolin come, it will be endless!

If eighteen bronze men come by then, I will not be able to survive.

He thought, I can’t win this time!

After winning, this guy went back to Shaolin and complained, and everyone who came down the mountain afterwards had to use him as a trial monster envoy.

But if I lose, I will also be at a disadvantage.

So, it’s just a draw!

Well, Zhang Zhenyong just needs to devote himself to the battle and fight hard.

But Zhang Yuan has a lot of things to consider.

clang!
The two men exchanged fists and then immediately retracted their fists. Zhang Zhenyong showed a look of pain on his face.

"His expression doesn't seem to show any pain..." Shi Xinghan, who was blowing air into his fist, looked at the other person.

But he found that Zhang Yuan was a beat slow to react, and immediately showed a look of pain.

"Is his pain nerve signal bad? Is there a delay?"

There was no time to think during the fight, so he raised his hand and attacked again.

For a moment, the sounds of fists, kicks, and flesh colliding were heard everywhere in the arena.

Huchi Huchi Huchi...

After more than ten minutes, Shi Xinghan was panting and his forehead was covered with sweat.

tired!

"He is really strong!"

"Being able to fight with me till now."

Zhang Yuan was also panting, looking at the other person, and breathing even harder. He was also tired.

Tired of acting!
"How come this guy is so physically fit that he hasn't stopped yet?"

With the help of strong Qigong, he will not be at a disadvantage in a physical fight.

"Brother Zhang Yuan is so awesome!" Zhao Xunxun, who was watching the show on the side, showed admiration.

"That Nemo Star is quite strong, his punches are heavy and fast."

"Although it was difficult for Brother Zhang Yuan to block it, it was already very good."

In the eyes of Zhao Xunxun, a little insider, the two are equally matched.

That means Zhang Yuan’s acting skills are pretty good.

But Zhang Yuan is better looking, so he wins.

If Zhang Yuan cannot beat Shi Xinghan, but he is more handsome than the other, he will still win.

Women are sometimes so naive, just like men only like girls who are eighteen.

When Jia Qiang, the captain of the martial arts school, saw the sparkling look in Zhao Xinxin's eyes as she looked at Zhang Yuan, he gritted his teeth in anger!

The words he used to humiliate the other party that day were not entirely made up on the spur of the moment; most of them were his real thoughts.

He felt that since Zhao Xunxun did not agree to his pursuit but had a close relationship with the male lead of the crew, she must have climbed into his bed and wanted to use this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry.

If I had resources in the film and television industry, this woman would have knelt in front of me long ago!
In the eyes of a brothel owner, all women are sold; in the eyes of an old gangster, all men are hypocrites.

"Humph, this Yang Guo isn't that strong!"

"I only know some traditional martial arts, and it was obviously difficult for me to cope with the opponent's Sanda moves." Jia Qiang also practiced Sanda in the martial arts school.

"If we really fight, if I strike first, he may not be able to hold on!"

He recalled the day when Zhang Yuan grabbed his arm and forced him to apologize, and he became furious.

"Dandan, who do you think is more powerful, Zhang Yuan or that guy?" Liu Qianqian was dazzled.

She is just a beginner and has only learned routines, so naturally she doesn't understand much.

"Zhang Zhenyong should be a little bit stronger." Zhao Xinxin gestured with his fingers: "But only a little bit."

"They should be about the same."

Liu Qianqian couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Zhang Yuan breathing heavily.

"He has always been unwilling to compete with the other party."

"It seems that he knows that he is inferior to the other party."

"Hey, I said I wanted to see him fight."

"He wouldn't be competing with the other person just to show me."

boom!
At this moment, the two of them exchanged more than ten moves. Shi Xinghan was already out of breath, his legs and feet were a little weak, and the posture of his arms was gradually out of shape.

Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Yuan spoke.

"Brother, let's make friends through martial arts, and stop when it's enough."

"We've been fighting for a long time and there's no clear winner, so why not call it a draw?"

"Okay!" The other party immediately continued when he saw the stairs down.

"He beat Shi Xingyu, and I'm tied with him, so doesn't that mean I'm better than my senior brother?" Shi Xinghan thought.

Even if it's a tie, I've still won.

"Brother, it feels great!" He dragged his sweaty body forward and said with a fist.

"Okay..." Zhang Yuan replied helplessly with a fist clasped.

The two of them left together. Liu Qianqian, Zhao Xinxin and Yang Mi, who had been silent all the time, walked forward together. Seeing that he was breathing heavily, they all asked with concern.

"Are you okay?" X3.

How about giving me a plum... Zhang Yuan waved his hand pretending to be struggling.

"Mr. Yu, Zhang Yuan has made rapid progress and is much better than when he was in the last crew." Zhao Jian said.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he fought Huang Julong, he had to rely on strategies, but this time he was able to fight head-on.

"Heh..." Yu Chenghui smiled and said, "I don't know if my kung fu has improved or not."

"My acting skills should have improved."

"What?" Zhao Jian was puzzled.

Others may not be able to see it, but how could the old man not see it?

When it comes to “match-fixing”, the old man is a professional!
Many competitions require saving face, and the martial arts industry also requires social etiquette.

"The light is restrained, good!"

"Being able to hold back in public shows that this mentality is far beyond that of people of the same age."

At the same time, the old man was clear.

Zhang Yuan was able to control the fight just right, making it look like a draw.

The other party was using all his strength.

That meant that he was at least one level stronger than his opponent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle it so easily.

"Moreover, he surpasses his opponent in terms of strength and reaction." The old man came to the conclusion.

"His fundamentals are improving all the time."

"Logically speaking, by the time you're in your early twenties, your basic skills should have been finalized." This was the only thing that puzzled the old man.

People gather quickly and disperse quickly.

After Zhang Yuan and Zhang Zhenyong left, the originally lively crowd quickly dispersed.

Shi Xinghan found a corner and called his fellow Shaolin disciples to show off his achievements that day.

Zhang Yuan listened attentively, thinking that this should be the way to end this cause and effect.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan changed into a light blue knight's suit.

The right sleeve was empty and there was a huge sword on his back.

At this time, he played the role of a young hero who had lost his arm and obtained the heavy black iron sword.

His right arm was fixed to the inside of his clothes with a rubber band and tied to his body.

In addition to him, Xiaolongnu, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Li Mochou and others were all present.

In this scene, after Guo Fu accidentally used the Ice Soul Silver Needle to shoot the already seriously injured Xiaolongnu, Long Guo and Huang Rong still put aside their past grudges and helped Huang Rong snatch the infant Guo Xiang from Li Mochou.

Speaking of the whole book "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the most annoying person is this "idiot" Guo Fu.

Whatever Yang Kang owed to the Guo family, Yang Guo repaid it to Guo Fu.

He is incapable of accomplishing anything, but always causes trouble. He pretends to be cool when he goes out, and always mentions his parents' names when something goes wrong. The image of this dandy boy is hard to play no matter who plays it, and it is too easy for the audience to dislike him.

Chen Zihan is beautiful, which adds a bit of savagery to the character, but at least her outfit and appearance are pretty good looking.

Her beauty also forms a contrast with Xiaolongnu's purity.

call……

In front of the camera, a team of staff holding fire extinguishers were on standby at all times, and everyone looked nervous.

Because today's scene is considered a dangerous scene in any film or TV production, a fire scene!
Water, fire, explosion!

These three types of plays are the most dangerous and most likely to go wrong.

There were fire scenes on the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes, and there were more than one.

In front of a scene that was made to look like a dilapidated house, the prop man poured kerosene on the scattered wood blocks and beams on the ground and ignited them with a lighter.

"Are you sure it's safe?"

At this point, even though Yu Min didn't get along with him, she was still extremely careful.

Human life is at stake, no matter how big the grudge is, we have to put it aside.

"Confirmed that there is no problem." The brother made an OK gesture with his hand.

"The fire brigade is also ready."

"Okay, Yang Guo, get ready!" Yu Min took a deep breath.

Zhang Yuan held his breath, not only because the high temperature air would damage his respiratory tract, but also because his clothes were sprayed with some kind of chemical flame retardant, which had a very pungent smell.

Spicy nose and burning throat.

This stuff is obviously poisonous, but I have to endure it for the sake of filming.

When filming "The New Five Ancestors of Shaolin" that year, Mr. Ji Chunhua played the role of Ma Ning'er, who practiced evil skills and had a body made of iron and steel.

This shape looks like both a scar and a tattoo, and it has to be glued to the body before filming every time.

The glue made his whole body red and swollen, and it had a pungent smell and was very toxic.

Teacher Ji Chunhua was in great pain, but he had no choice but to endure it.

Later, Teacher Ji died of cancer when he was less than 60 years old. I don’t know if it had anything to do with his work when he was young.

I can only say that the Hong Kong film and television industry in those days really didn’t treat people as human beings!

Zhang Yuan shook his head to keep himself awake.

Fortunately, the potion was only sprayed on his clothes, not on him, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Come on, ACTION!"

Although Yu Min gave the order, Zhang Yuan rushed towards the sea of ​​fire without hesitation... (End of this chapter)
