There is a very important scene in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

Similar to the siege of Bright Summit in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and the battle of Shaoshi Mountain in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the gathering of heroes at Lujia Village in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is also a great show with many heroes coming one after another.

In this scene, most of the actors in the entire crew were present.

In addition to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the Western Regions monks and their disciples, the big and small Wu, and the Beggars' Sect...

There were hundreds of extras alone, filling the entire scene.

This scene is also the first reunion between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu after the "Dragon Rider" incident. Both the scene and the plot are a big drama, and it is also a major turning point in the story.

Before filming began, Zhang Yuan chatted with his old friend Gao Hu for a long time, and then greeted other actors with whom he would be working today.

Among them, he also saw many unfamiliar "familiar faces".

For example, the actor who plays Da Wu is called Wang Ning. After wandering around in the film and television industry and playing some supporting roles, he finally joined the comedy industry.

"I have a drama club, you can come and play when you have time." After chatting enthusiastically with the other party for a few sentences, Zhang Yuan made the invitation.

What he meant, of course, was that Huanle Mahua’s business was booming just like Deyuanshe’s, and had already escaped the “economic crisis”.

"call……"

Normally, socializing with people is one of the things he is best at, but today, for some reason, he found it very difficult to chat with people for a while.

Moreover, there were many talkative people around him, and they chattered so much that it gave him a headache.

Zhang Yuan remembered that Teacher Chen Jianbin once said in an interview that when he was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", as soon as the director shouted "cut", the empresses and palace maids started chatting loudly, which gave him a headache all day long.

Especially Ada Choi who played the Queen, with her hoarse voice and Cantonese accent, which was what he couldn't stand the most.

Well, Zhang Yuan understands it now.

"Yuan, you and Hu Zi should practice some moves. Soon it will be your two fighting scenes." Zhao Jian came over and announced.

Yang Guo and Huo Du have to fight in a ring, and the moves are quite difficult, and half of the scenes require wirework.

"Director Zhao." Zhang Yuan greeted politely.

Now they were in public, so he had to address people by their titles. Usually when he and Zhao Jian were smoking and eating barbecue, they would call each other "Old Zhao, Old Zhao".

"Our show is quite lively."

"That's right. It's hard to handle." Zhao Jian frowned and said, then he smiled and said, "Old Zhang used this scene as an excuse to ask Boss Ma to increase the budget."

"And there's also the Battle of Xiangyang City later. Anyway, a show with more people can earn more money." He whispered in the ear.

What makes Zhao Jian smarter than Yu Min is that he bets on both sides.

Knowing Zhang Yuan's personality and intelligence, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will definitely be very successful in the future, so we must make friends with him.

And knowing that he and Yu Min didn't get along, he tried to reconcile them, and probably leaned a little towards Zhang Yuan.

In this way, he can play a balancing role and explain to the bearded man.

Old hands are very good at taking sides and not offending anyone.

"The bearded man can get the money, but he can get less benefits from you."

"Oh, we all eat with the boss...hahahaha."

The two of them smiled knowingly.

Zhang Yuan and Gao Hu practiced their moves for a long time before they were ready.

According to the plan, he had to rush out of the crowd angrily and then take the initiative to fight with Huo Du.

According to the plot, the reason why Yang Guo did this was because Zhu Ziliu, a scholar among the "Fishermen, Woodcutters, Farmers and Readers" who was a disciple of Master Yideng and also the Prime Minister of Dali Kingdom, had fought with Huodu.

With his superb martial arts and special weapon, the Judge's Pen, he made fun of Huodu.

But Huo Du had no moral principles and attacked Zhu Ziliu with a hidden weapon, and even knocked his judge's pen away.

The judge's pen just happened to fall aside and hit Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, who had just reunited after a long separation and were being affectionate with each other, and stained Xiaolongnu's white dress.

Then Yang Guo went to fight Huo Du to the death.

This is the beauty of Mr. Jin's writing.

At this time, Yang Guo only cared about his aunt. He didn't care about whether the Central Plains martial arts world was bullied by foreign countries.

I just want my aunt to be happy, and my aunt just wants me to be happy.

There is no heroic spirit at all.

Indeed, Yang Guo is only sixteen or seventeen years old at this moment. If you ask a junior high school student to be a hero, does he have the ambition to do so?
But after the various separations and deaths that followed, especially after sixteen years of separation, Yang Guo gradually became a chivalrous man with a sense of national mission and responsibility.

Every growth and change, every action and reaction of this character is in line with the current situation, as if you are watching a real person.

"Who soiled my aunt's clothes!"

Zhang Yuan looked sharp and walked out of the crowd with a swagger.

With his left hand he held the little dragon girl who was still wearing white clothes but with one corner of her body stained.

"His hands are so hot." Liu Qianqian was led forward by him and felt the warmth from his palms.

"Is it possible that his blood boils when he holds my hand?"

She is still young and not professional enough, and she is easily distracted when acting.

Just for these few shots, the two of them walked back and forth more than ten times before they finally passed.

Next comes the fight scene with Gao Hu.

Gao Hu held a folding fan, and he held a bamboo stick.

He was quite confident in this fight scene, after all, stick fighting is the martial art he is best at.

In front of the camera, the two men started fighting according to the moves they had prepared beforehand.

Hula la...the stick made a sound in the wind as it was waved vigorously.

Hissing...the paper fan moved around, so vicious and cunning.

In this scene, Gao Hu was more tired than him because he was using a fan. In order to show Huo Du's lightness and elegance, he had wires hanging on his body the whole time. He needed to do somersaults continuously or be pulled backwards at a high speed by the wires to show the character's lightness skills.

The action scene with the stick and paper fan alone was divided into twelve sets of shots.

Each group has to be shot at least six or seven times from different angles. You can imagine how tiring it is.

The two or three hundred extras around just need to stand there, but if they stand for too long, it is inevitable that some of them will fall asleep.

At this time, someone was photographed slacking off in the background, so a set of shots was wasted and had to be started over again.

After shooting three sets of shots in the morning, it was time for lunch.

According to Zhao Jian, this scene had to be shot for a week, and every day cost a huge amount of money.

"Huh..." During the lunch break, Zhang Yuan patted his slightly numb knuckles and slightly trembling hands.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qianqian ran with her lunch box, sat next to him, and asked mischievously, "Why isn't Guo'er eating?"

"Maybe I'm a little tired and have no appetite."

"The food is so delicious, but I still don't have an appetite." Liu Qianqian picked up a prawn, gently bit off the tail, and started eating skillfully.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, apart from being dragged around by me for a few laps at the beginning, you have been serving as a human background board by my side the entire time, so of course you have an appetite.

She didn't have any scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so Zhang Yuan didn't remind her to control her food intake.

"Zhang Yuan, your performance this morning was average." At this time, Zhao Jian also came over and sat down next to him.

Because the two are familiar with each other, he speaks very directly without beating around the bush like other actors.

"The power of the movements is not as strong as usual, and the speed is slower."

"It should be because he is cooperating with me. You can't blame him." Gao Hu immediately said with a smile. This guy is quite nice.

"Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night. I'll take a break after dinner and adjust myself. I'll try to feel better in the afternoon."

"Just control it yourself. There's no problem with your ability." Zhao Jian smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I didn't get enough rest last night..." Chen Zihan, who was also eating at the side, gave him a look: "Are you regretting not keeping me here so much that you can't sleep?"

"Humph, little boy, you don't understand the charm of a big sister."

Everyone was muttering to themselves, and soon it was afternoon.

Zhang Yuan rarely took the lunch break to prepare his lines or afternoon scenes, but sat on a chair, covering his face with the script to block the light, and took a good rest. "Zhang Yuan, the shooting has begun." Gao Hu called out, and he slowly stood up.

Feeling sore all over and a little uncomfortable, Zhang Yuan stretched out. Not only did his bones crackle, but his head also felt dizzy.

"Come on, get ready." Soon after, the filming continued.

As soon as the camera opened, Gao Hu was pulled up by a wire and suddenly stood up, then did a front flip and rushed towards Zhang Yuan.

In this shot, according to the planned movements, Huodu should be performing a flying kick, Yang Guo should be raising his stick to block, and using his internal force to knock his opponent away.

Gao Hu kicked towards him with a ferocious look on his face.

This kick should have hit the bamboo stick that Zhang Yuan was holding in front of his chest.

But in Gao Hu's eyes, for some reason, Zhang Yuan raised his hand too slowly.

This time he didn't coordinate well, but he was pulled by the wire and couldn't stop his attack trend. The kick didn't slow down and he still kicked towards the opponent.

Without the bamboo pole to block his attack, one of his feet hit Zhang Yuan's chest, and the other one hit his chin directly.

Both of his feet are solid, and with the force of pulling the wire, he is extremely ferocious!

Then I heard a "bang"!
By the time everyone reacted, Zhang Yuan had already fallen face down on the ground five or six meters away.

In this weather, the tiled floor was as cold as if it had just been taken out of the freezer.

Ordinary people would be too cold to stand even if they just lie down, or even support themselves with their hands for a while.

But Zhang Yuan just fell to the ground, without any movement for a long time.

The scene suddenly became quiet!
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The extras in the distance who were yawning all closed their mouths and just watched the scene quietly.

The wire team quickly brought Gao Hu down to the ground.

Although it was Zhang Yuan who was kicked, Gao Hu's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

He saw Zhang Yuan lying on the ground motionless after being kicked by him. He immediately recalled the incident in the crew of "Mistake in Love" where he lost control of the vehicle and hit and killed a photographer.

He ended up with a one-year suspended sentence and was ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation.

Besides, in this matter, the crew's dispatching responsibility was greater than his, but because he was a celebrity, he was the one who was ultimately affected the most.

He was depressed at home for half a year, and no film crew wanted to see him.

So this time, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" only arranged a third or fourth role for him, and he had to come reluctantly.

There's no way. I have to eat. It's good enough to be given a chance.

In fact, Gao Hu had a very good relationship with Zhou Xiaowen, but now Zhou Xiaowen and Da Huzi had broken up, and it was already very good that he still came to him.

But in the end, the accident on the set left him with a deep psychological trauma.

The kind that often wakes up from dreams in the middle of the night.

Just like many people still dream of themselves in the examination room many years after the college entrance examination, either forgetting to write their names or forgetting to fill in the answer sheet, and finding themselves sweating all over when they wake up.

When he saw Zhang Yuan lying motionless on the ground, he immediately recalled the cameraman who had been lying motionless on the ground after being hit by a car.

"I won't..."

Gao Hu was trembling all over, his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand up on his own.

"I won't kick him to death!"

He was really afraid of accidents happening on the set, especially accidents involving fatalities.

This tall man, who was 1.87 meters tall and whose forehead was half a head longer than Zhang Yuan's, was sweating profusely and tears were welling up in his eyes!
"This time it wasn't the staff, it was my brother who was killed!"

At this time, a group of staff members rushed up. Two big men held Gao Hu, but they couldn't help him up and they both collapsed.

Zhang Yuan was even more nervous.

Zhao Jian rushed over directly.

"Zhang Yuan?" he asked cautiously.

When he was a martial arts director in Hong Kong, he often saw actors being kicked unconscious, but most of them were extras.

For example, in Li Lianjie's "Fist of Fury", in the fight scene in the dojo, Lao Li kicked more than a dozen people unconscious. Basically, one person would fall down in one shot and be dragged aside and pinched on the philtrum.

Li Lianjie was really fierce when he was young!

"Whoops, whoops, whoops..."

The only response to Zhao Jian's call was the sound of disordered and heavy breathing.

Gulp... Zhao Jian swallowed hard.

"I can breathe, at least I'm still alive..."

Zhao Jian was a smart man. He guessed Gao Hu's concerns, came to his senses first, and made an OK gesture to him.

Seeing this, Gao Hu, who had just been helped up, weakened again and almost fell down.

This is the exhaustion after surviving a disaster.

"Two people, lift it up!"

Given Zhang Yuan's physique, it took four brothers to carry him to the side and put him down steadily on the flat ground in the indoor scene.

The extras outside the house couldn't see what was happening.

"Tsk, that kick just now wasn't very powerful, but I got kicked like that."

"He's just a good-looking guy."

Half of the extras in this scene are students from martial arts schools, including Jia Qiang, who has a grudge against Zhang Yuan.

Seeing this, he immediately showed disdain.

Combined with the scene of the last fight between Zhang Yuan and Zhang Zhenyong, this person felt that Zhang Yuan was just a hollow figure.

"I guess all the strength was put into the woman's belly!"

Thinking of this, the image of Zhao Xinxin who rejected his pursuit emerged in his mind, and he felt even more angry.

After all, in his eyes, Hong Lingbo must be having an affair with Yang Guo.

He thought that if he had Zhang Yuan's looks, abilities, and status, he would have slept with everyone in the crew.

Let alone Hong Lingbo.

He didn't want to let go of Li Mochou, Huang Rong, and even Yinggu.

On the other side, inside the house.

"Why is it so hot?" Zhao Jian held Zhang Yuan's arm and immediately touched his forehead.

"Where is the medical staff? Where did he go?"

"You are nowhere to be found when you are needed. It's a waste of money to support you!"

Zhao Jian is usually very polite to him, but he acts like a director to others.

Liu Qianqian also squatted down, touched his forehead, and then withdrew her hand in fright.

"what!"

She immediately frowned and hammered her thigh with some self-blame.

"I felt his palms were warm when we held hands before."

"I actually had such wild thoughts that I thought he was holding my hand and I was so excited..."

"I wish I had known earlier that he was ill!"

Of course she wouldn't go that way.

After all, in his heart, you seem to be omnipotent.

Whether in heaven or on earth, there is never a moment of weakness.

"Come on, come on, carry the stretcher out and take it to the hospital, quickly!"

Under Zhao Jian's command, the scene was in chaos. Many people surrounded the male lead of the crew and ran all the way to the crew parking lot.

The vehicle rushed to the local hospital... (End of this chapter)
