call!
Somewhere on the river bank near Jiuzhaigou Waterfall Beach.
Under the moonlight, a slender figure was dancing with a sword more than one meter long with great vigor.
Yu Chenghui stroked his beard and watched with squinted eyes.
"The strength and explosiveness are far beyond that of ordinary people."
"No wonder he was able to beat more than a dozen people to a pulp."
"Even without any skills, relying solely on his own strength, he can easily beat ordinary people."
Yu Chenghui smiled and nodded.
His mantis sword must be based on mantis boxing, including leg techniques and body techniques, which are the foundation of mantis boxing.
With this foundation, Zhang Yuan naturally learned very quickly.
"He got started too quickly!"
“You’ll learn the basic moves in one go.”
"It's just that I'm still a little lacking in technique, but I'm getting there."
The old man had always been worried that no one would be able to inherit the skills he had created and improved.
He has taught several talented young people... Of course, these people are not young now, they are already middle-aged.
Precisely because he is already middle-aged, the upper limit of his personal talent has already been revealed.
Mr. Yu saw it and realized that he couldn't even reach 70% or 80% of it.
This is actually the old man’s own fault.
Just like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, the sword techniques designed by the old man are all based on his own experience.
Other people's bodies are different from his, so they can't fully utilize their abilities.
What's more, there are not many people with such excellent talents as him.
But Zhang Yuan is different!
He is only in his early twenties, still young!
When you are young, you have time and opportunities.
"Okay, let's stop here for today." Yu Chenghui waved his hand.
Zhang Yuan twisted his body and relaxed.
This two-handed sword is really different from other Kung Fu. He felt that all the muscles in his body were mobilized.
"Mr. Yu." He handed the sword back to the other party, but Yu Chenghui waved his hand.
"I'll give it to you. You can practice it for fun."
Oh……
Zhang Yuan sensed something was going on just now. The old man personally took him aside to show off his special skills.
Just like the night of "Dragon Rider" when Ouyang Feng pulled Yang Guo.
Now he was given a sword, the meaning was both obvious and ambiguous.
"Is he planning to take me in as a student or an apprentice?"
Just like Mr. Yuan Kuocheng, he never accepted any apprentices, but he still had several students.
In traditional industries, students and apprentices are two different things.
Seeing that the old man didn't wink at him and didn't say much, Zhang Yuan probably thought that he had his own concerns, so he didn't ask any more questions.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.
The next day, when Zhang Yuan arrived at the filming location, he saw Ju Jueliang with a sad face.
"Director, what's the matter?"
"It's a trouble." Fatty Ju scratched his head: "Shaolin Temple sent a lawyer's letter to the crew."
"What?"
"Hi..." Fatty Ju smiled helplessly.
"Saying that many Shaolin monks in The Return of the Condor Heroes are not portrayed in a positive light is insulting to the image of Shaolin."
"They said they would sue us and stop us from filming."
"And then?" Zhang Yuan felt powerless to complain.
"They said they would act as a consulting company for our crew, providing supervision and management, so we won't sue them."
"Wow..." Zhang Yuan understood as soon as he heard it.
Isn't this what feminist, animal protection and diversity groups do in later generations?
It is called consulting, but in fact it is just collecting protection money.
This is similar to what children in foreign countries say when they ask for candy on Halloween.
"If you don't give me candy (money), I'll make trouble!"
This is not the first time that Shaolin has done this. The reason why Stephen Chow’s “Shaolin Soccer” has not been able to pass the censorship in the mainland is actually because of Shaolin’s obstruction.
Said the film violated their reputation...
Ever since Master Shi came to power, Shaolin has always been money-oriented, and this has happened more than once or twice.
He just offended Stephen Chow, and now he is offending Big Beard again.
He treats the bigwigs from Hong Kong and Beijing circles equally.
Therefore, Shaolin gradually became alienated from the film and television industry because it offended too many people!
He didn't even think about the fact that a big part of the reason why Shaolin became so popular was because of the movie "Shaolin Temple".
As a result, after taking advantage of the film and television industry to gain popularity, he collected protection fees from the film and television industry...
"Anyway, let Big Beard worry about this matter. I can't do anything about it." Fatty Ju spread his hands helplessly.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said nothing.
The crew is a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
It's like this all over the world. It's hard to get things done, but it's easy to sabotage you.
He couldn't afford to offend Shaolin. Besides, he wasn't getting along with the bearded man and was too lazy to bother with it.
Zhang Zhenyong from Shaolin turned pale when he heard this, fearing that he would be fired by the crew because of this.
In the afternoon, when they were gathering together after dinner to prepare for their scenes, a notice came from the bearded man.
After that, all the Shaolin sect mentioned in the dialogues were changed to monk sect, and the word Shaolin was removed from the film.
After hearing this, everyone understood that the bearded man obviously did not want to pay protection money, but he was also unwilling to compromise.
And if you, Shaolin, want to cause trouble, you have chosen the wrong topic.
You should have jumped out during the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"!
There were so many Shaolin monks in the Battle of Shaoshi Mountain.
There is also the plot of Ye Erniang recognizing her relatives. Abbot Xuanci is a high-ranking monk, but he also has an illegitimate child.
And when filming this scene, Zhang Yuan thought that the big beard was truly restored!
In the book, Murong Bo pointed out that Xu Zhu's biological father was at the scene, and everyone turned around to look at Duan Zhengchun...
There's nothing we can do about it. A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. When people hear about a decent woman and an illegitimate child, their first reaction is the famous Prince Duan.
To hesitate for even a second would be disrespectful to Prince Duan's style.
The key point is that Prince Duan himself was confused. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he really planned to go up and recognize his relatives.
When filming, all actors were asked to look up to Tang Zhenzong who played Duan Zhengchun.
Among all the characters in Jin Yong's universe, Duan Zhengchun is also one of the ones Zhang Yuan admires the most. He is loyal and righteous, and he really helps when something happens!
The martial arts created by other martial arts masters are all very powerful, but his Five Luo Light Smoke Palm has no attack power at all, because it was invented specifically for extinguishing candles and closing doors...
Zhang Yuan also wanted to learn it, he felt that this skill was a necessity for him.
After being notified not to talk about Shaolin, Zhang Yuan strolled around the filming site. Suddenly, he saw a crowd of people and went over.
After all, joining in the fun is human instinct.
Upon closer look, I saw several supporting actors in the crew writing on the ground with tree branches.
Liu Qianqian was also present, clapping and cheering from time to time.
"What are you playing for?"
"Several teachers are writing for fun. Teacher Zhang is so awesome." Liu Qianqian said to him.
Those present included Zhang Zhenyong who played Nemo Star, Yang Guang who played Xiao Xiangzi, Zhang Jidie who played Fan Yiweng, Zhao Liang who played Zhou Botong and Dali who played Hong Qigong.
These people are not just writing for fun.
The scene that Liu Xixi is going to shoot next is the one where Xiaolongnu and Zhou Botong are trapped in a cave and Zhou Botong teaches them the art of fighting with both hands.
In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the honest Guo Jing easily learned the art of fighting with both hands which required multitasking, but the extremely intelligent Huang Rong was unable to learn it.
In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Xiaolongnu also learned it easily. Although it was not written that Yang Guo had to learn it, Yang Guo would probably be as confused as his Aunt Huang.
Mr. Jin cleverly uses this interconnected scene to point out Xiao Long Nu's passionate and pure nature.
Zhang Yuan has always believed that the so-called left-right fighting technique is a form of artistic creation.
In reality, no one can really do it.
In his entire life, he has never seen anyone who can really do two things at the same time.
Well, he saw it today!
Following Liu Qianqian's finger, Zhang Yuan looked at Fan Yiweng who was writing, and then opened his mouth wide.
This guy has a branch in each hand and can shoot with both hands.
"Shooting White Deer in Flying Snow"
"The Laughing Book Hero Yi Bi Yuan"
At the same time, two lines of large characters were written from top to bottom.
The most amazing thing is that not only were the two lines of words written with both hands at the same time, but one line was written in regular script and the other in small seal script!
"Fuck!"
This famous actor named Zhang Jidie is a descendant of Kunqu Opera. He is famous both at home and abroad for his role as Wu Dalang. His nickname is "Living Wu Dalang"... This name is a bit unpleasant to the ear, but it is also a proof of his strength.
In addition, he is also a master of calligraphy. Because he loves to drink, his nose turns red when he drinks, so he self-deprecatingly gave himself the nickname "Pink Nose Monk". He has a unique skill called double-handed calligraphy!
It’s the hand that was just shown.
With this skill, he has a unique style and is quite famous in the Chinese calligraphy world which is full of masters.
There are actually quite a few people who can write calligraphy with both hands, but they are usually only able to write the same font with both hands slowly.
He had mastered the skill to the point where he could wield two swords at the same time and write in different fonts fluently. He was truly an expert among experts.
Liu Qianqian clapped and cheered just now because of him.
The director knew that he had this skill, so he planned to let this expert do the scene where Xiaolongnu writes on the ground with her hands, which led to the current crowd gathering.
clap clap clap...
After the elder brother finished writing, Zhang Yuan led the applause.
"Well, Teacher Zhang, this is a great move!"
Everyone applauded together.
Teacher Zhang Jidie clasped his fists to everyone and expressed his gratitude to everyone for their support.
But when he saw Zhang Yuan, his expression changed.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, I heard that you can write too?" Teacher Zhang said after he calmed down.
"It's just a small hobby. It can't compare with yours." Zhang Yuan wondered why this guy suddenly talked about me.
"It should be more than just a hobby." He looked Zhang Yuan up and down and said, "I heard that you are a member of the Calligraphy Association at such a young age... Oh, more than that, you are a director of the association!"
Zhang Yuan: …
This guy seems to have some thorns in his words!
Zhang Yuan didn't understand what was going on, but the others all reacted.
Zhang Jidie is also a member of the Calligraphy Association. He is so awesome, but he is just an ordinary member... Zhang Yuan has even become a VIP and has advanced on-demand access, so of course the old man is not happy.
The Calligraphy Association was attracted by his youth and fame and wanted to recruit him to increase their popularity and attract young people.
I have to say that the president is quite smart.
Zhang Yuan was also happy. After all, it was a title and it would give him more topics to talk about when he went out and interacted with people.
But now, this title has put him in a difficult position.
"Director Zhang, why don't you show us your calligraphy skills so that we can appreciate the calligraphy of the youngest director of the calligraphy association."
"Okay, okay, I want to see it too!" Liu Qianqian also responded.
Zhang Yuan: ...Who are you helping?
You help whoever is having fun, right?
The remaining four people present also became excited.
Because several of them are more or less related to calligraphy!
Yang Guang, who plays Xiaoxiangzi, is the vice president of the China Film Star Calligraphy Institute, and the president of this organization is Tang Guoqiang.
He is also the chairman of the Calligraphy Educators Association.
Dali, who played Hong Qigong, was a member of the Chinese Artists Association. He later played the principal in "Duds Get Water".
This person is also a senior professional title evaluator of the Ministry of Culture. If Brother Qian wants to be a third-level actor or something, he has to go through this person's review.
Zhang Zhenyong, also known as Shi Xinghan, who had fought with Zhang Yuan, first studied in the Oil Painting Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, then went to Shaolin, and later went to the Central Academy of Drama to study directing.
What does it mean to be both civil and military?
He is the best painter in the martial arts world and the best fighter in the oil painting world.
"Oh!" Zhang Zhenyong has been feeling inferior ever since he saw Zhang Yuan fighting against more than a dozen people.
Now he thought, I may not be able to beat you, but I still have artistic talent!
This is finding the psychological balance.
“Write one, write one…”
"Come on, come on, let's play together and have fun."
A few people wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble, so they naturally followed Zhang Jide's advice and added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Yuan scratched his head and took the branch from the other person's hand.
"Well, let me show you my skills first, and then try to get close to this Mr. Zhang. He's good at both ends, and I'm a little jealous."
Thinking of this, he calmed himself down and then started scratching on the soft ground with his hand.
"Heaven..." He started by writing a large regular script character.
Zhang Jidie nodded slightly.
not bad!
This is on the ground, not on paper and pen, so the main thing to look at is the skeleton and structure; techniques and the like cannot be reflected.
"Gentle and generous..." Old Zhang looked up at Zhang Yuan and found that the word was similar to the young man's usual behavior.
"The foundation is good, but not deep enough." An expert knows the ins and outs of things. After reading the first word, Zhang Jidie felt that he had a rough idea of Zhang Yuan's level.
But when Zhang Yuan wrote the second character "残", he immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Cursive script..."
His second word was changed.
"Free and smooth..." Teacher Zhang commented to himself.
Zhang Yuan then wrote the third character "地".
"Lishu...hiss." Old Zhang scratched his head: "Silkworm head and swallow tail, well balanced."
Finally, he changed his pen and wrote the word "缺".
“Cursive script!”
"The rhythm is light and the stretch is harmonious."
Zhang Jidie looked up again at the four big characters "天残地缺" written by Zhang Yuan. Each character used the most mainstream font.
The key is that he has grasped the essence and spirit of every font!
Zhang Jidie slapped his forehead and then he realized it.
"He's still imitating me..."
After all, I just wrote two fonts with one hand.
Although he is young, he is super talented and directly got four kinds.
"Old Zhang, this running script seems to me to have some of Mr. Ouyang's style." Teacher Xiaoxiangzi Yangguang patted Zhang Jide's shoulder and said.
"This cursive script has a bit of Master Lin's style."
"This regular script has a bit of Mr. Li's style."
Zhang Jidie kept nodding.
"Yes, yes, that's what those people meant."
Zhang Yuan also nodded. Most of his calligraphy skills were learned from Wang Bozhao.
Ouyang Zhongshi, Lin Xiaozhi and Li Tianma have all taught "Little White Dragon".
"It's okay to just read one word."
“But it is rare for someone so young to be able to master the four styles of calligraphy with such style.” Teacher Yangguang said while shaking his head.
When Zhang Zhenyong heard him say this, the confidence that had just risen up in him fell heavily to the ground again.
Done!
I can’t beat him in a fight, and I can’t match him in artistic attainments…
"Our young director... seems to have some sense." Zhang Jidie was silent for a long time, then spoke again: "I think I know why the association let you be a director."
No, you don’t know… Zhang Yuan waved his hands in his heart.
The president of your association has never seen me write. It's purely social etiquette.
Teacher Dali, who played Hong Qigong, was also looking around.
"Our leading actor is good enough!"
"He's a good actor on weekdays, and his handwriting is also good. It's rare, rare... I hope to see him on the first-class actor jury one day."
Liu Qianqian has not practiced calligraphy much, so her handwriting is just like her face, relatively "childish".
She didn't understand, but when she saw several masters around her marveling at his writing, she knew that Zhang Yuan's handwriting was recognized by everyone, and she immediately showed a happy look.
"You are so amazing..." She smiled and pointed at the words on the ground: "天残地缺, what does it mean?"
"Both of us."
"us?"
"Yes, both of us are flawed both on and off the stage."
Liu Qianqian thought about it and felt that Yang Guo failed and Xiaolongnu lost her virginity, so this made sense.
"In the play, or outside the play?"
"I was almost crippled last time. I was covered in wounds. Isn't that a natural disability?" Zhang Yuan replied.
"What's missing from that land? I don't need it, do I?" Liu Qianqian thought that she had never had a boyfriend in real life, she still had her chastity, and her limbs were healthy, so what could she lack?
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pointed at her chest.
After Liu Qianqian thought about it, she immediately became furious.
"You said that what I lack is breasts..." She immediately thought of Yang Mi who was caught with a 36F breast that day.
Compared to her, I am indeed lacking something.
"No, what are you thinking? Think deeper!" Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"What...is inside?" Liu Qianqian asked puzzled.
"Your behavior is just stupid!"
"You're the stupid one!" Liu Qianqian raised her fist and attacked him, chasing him as she ran.
When the others saw them playing around, they all started laughing.
For a moment, the set was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After the show in the evening, Zhang Yuan immediately "caught" these old friends and invited them to dinner.
After seeing his calligraphy skills in the afternoon, these people were happy to accept the invitation to the banquet.
Zhang Yuan naturally flattered and toasted them at the table, especially Zhang Jidie, who was proficient in calligraphy with both hands... (End of this chapter)
