In recent days, Zhang Yuan often drinks and communicates with several friends in the calligraphy and painting circles.
Especially Zhang Jidie, a member of the Calligraphy Association who was nicknamed "Powder Nose Hermit", his double-handed calligraphy really made Zhang Yuan envious.
How can you let a master slip away when you meet him?
The character played by my brother in the film is Fan Yiweng, a man with a long beard.
This shape looks very durable at first glance.
In addition, while Mr. Yu Chenghui was still around, Zhang Yuan would often carry a two-handed sword and communicate and learn with the old man under the moonlight.
That day, the old man strolled to the designated location to find him.
As the old man walked, he heard the sound of wind in front of him.
Looking closely, under the moonlight, there was a slender figure moving around with brisk steps and waving his arms.
"You are quite diligent." The old man praised with a smile.
The daytime shooting workload was actually quite heavy and everyone was very tired.
Especially Zhang Yuan, the protagonist, has the most scenes and consumes the most physical energy.
But he still remembers to practice every night, which makes the old man very happy.
Because along the way he has seen too many talented young people wasting their time because of the word "laziness".
People are lazy.
When I get home from get off work, I plan to play with my phone for half an hour and then read and study.
After half an hour, play for another half an hour.
Another hour... Never mind, I'll spend another day reading and studying.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and people become lazy. This is human nature.
If we look at successful people in all walks of life, they are all energetic and have strong execution abilities.
Fang Shilong is a representative figure in the film and television industry.
The old man was naturally very pleased to see that he came early and started practicing in advance.
"I am old now. If I continue to accept students, I won't be able to teach for many more years."
The old man has his own martial arts school, but he no longer teaches students himself.
Young people like Zhang Yuan's age are usually taught by their own students.
"If I accept another disciple..." The old man was also afraid that his disciples would be unhappy as the age difference was too big.
Besides, the old man was afraid that others would say that he accepted a disciple just to take advantage of the young man's fame. The most important thing was to save face, so he was conflicted.
For example, the people from the calligraphy association don't care at all and it's obvious that they want to take advantage of the popularity.
"Let's take a look first."
"If he is still young, he can compete with my disciples, or even be better than them when they were young."
"Those few won't have any complaints."
The old man thought about it and walked forward.
But after walking a few steps, the old man suddenly froze.
He stared blankly at the young man who was sweating profusely under the moonlight, with an expression of disbelief.
"He is..."
Zhang Yuan used his right hand to perform the standard Mantis Fist stance. After each move, his entire body would shake a few times in the signature motion, with the waist as the center.
This is also one of the characteristics of Mantis Boxing. The shaking of the body after a move, in addition to its confusing effect, also adjusts the force-generating posture, which is similar to the effect of accumulating strength.
The movements are naturally standard.
Originally, he had a good foundation, and in the past few days, Yu Chenghui, the successor of Mantis Boxing, corrected and instructed him several times, so naturally he improved further.
But this is not critical.
The key point is that in the interval after the Mantis Fist attack, Zhang Yuan made a Hung Gar stance with his left hand.
His left and right hands are using different Kung Fu moves!
You should know that different Kung Fu not only have different moves, but also different force techniques and body movements.
There are two-handed boxing techniques. The most famous tiger-crane double-form boxing in southern boxing has different boxing routines for each hand.
But it is still one set of punches after all, he just maintains two hand movements at the same time.
At this time, Zhang Yuan combined the two sets of boxing techniques together!
The old man's eyes became brighter.
He had seen before when Zhang Yuan was fighting with the people from the martial arts school that this kid knew a lot!
But there are people who know a lot. Those at the Wuying level are all proficient in several.
However, it is extremely rare to be able to switch between different kung fu so smoothly and quickly based on knowing so many kung fu, and to be able to adapt to local conditions in actual combat.
It can even be said that no second person has been seen.
But what the old man didn't expect was that he actually went one step further in such a short period of time!
"While adjusting the posture of Mantis Boxing, I switched to the power-generating technique of Hung Gar."
"The mantis boxing has a large range of movements and its advantage is that it is swift and flexible."
"But the disadvantage is that the movement is too large, which makes it easy for others to find an open goal."
"The advantage of Hung Gar is that the movements are small, and the attacks are fast and powerful, which can just make up for the weakness of Mantis Boxing that it is afraid of being close to the opponent."
The old man took a deep breath and had a strange expression on his face.
Just now he was still thinking whether it was appropriate for him to accept Zhang Yuan as his apprentice.
Now he is thinking, why don’t I learn from him!
I have never seen him do this before.
The old man is good at practicing. Besides his love of research, he is also good at communication.
When he saw the fun stuff, he also felt greedy.
After adjusting his mindset, Yu Chenghui walked up quickly.
"What was that about you just now?" the old man asked excitedly.
"Just now...oh." Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I recently learned about the wonderful use of two-handed calligraphy from Zhang Jidie, the teacher who plays Fan Yiweng in the crew."
"He can use both arms and do two things at the same time, writing in two different fonts."
Zhang Yuan worshipped Hou Sanye as his teacher and was also a legitimate successor of crosstalk.
He naturally knew that there was a passage in the crosstalk "Selling Five Instruments" called...
"He can write plum blossom seal characters with both hands. The Empress Dowager is very fond of him and has conferred upon His Highness Yu Ergan the title of the Ninth Thousand Years Old..."
This passage is about Liu Jin, the famous corrupt official of the Ming Dynasty.
He became one of the four great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty along with Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi and Wei Zhongxian.
When seeing him listed alongside these people, everyone knows that he is not a good person!
He was eventually tortured to death by being cut 3357 times.
After three days of execution, Liu Jin was as emaciated as a sheep.
But he was not the worst in history. According to records, the person who was cut with the most cuts was Zheng Man, a scholar during the Tianqi period. He was cut with 3600 cuts, and the slices were so detailed.
But the most famous one is definitely Liu Jin.
This person can write plum blossom seal characters with both hands.
What is plum blossom seal script?
Everyone has seen pictures of plum blossoms. Just one plum blossom is not uncommon.
The plum blossom seal character is to just hook out a seal character in the gap between these plum blossom buds!
This is a skill in itself and is very difficult to write.
This old man called "Yang Xiezi" can paint plum blossoms with one hand and write seal characters in the gaps with the other hand. You can imagine how great his skill is.
This is not only about multitasking, but also requires extremely strong physical coordination.
Zhang Yuan is in this state now.
He was envious of Zhang Jide's double-handed calligraphy, not just for writing.
"Oh!" Yu Chenghui nodded continuously after listening.
"Okay, great!"
"You can actually associate calligraphy with Kung Fu."
So smart!
Even the old man couldn't stop praising, what is talent?
This is called talent!
Most people can’t even think about it, let alone do it!
"Is it really that useful?" After thinking about it, the old man decided that he should practice writing with both hands.
The old man can write, and he writes quite well.
His cursive calligraphy was just like his swordsmanship, vigorous and majestic, with a touch of the unbridled boldness of a chivalrous hero.
The old man hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Do you... have a master?"
Zhang Yuan really wanted to say no, but if that were the case, he wouldn’t be able to explain his foundation.
"It's possible to say yes and no to say no. I can't mention any names, so just assume that I don't have a formal master." He still used vague terms to prevaricate.
"Oh..." The old man understood roughly.
"Okay, when you have time, come to my martial arts gym and I'll introduce you to some of my disciples."
Zhang Yuan naturally understood, it was obvious that he wanted to take me as his apprentice.
In this way, he would have a backer in the martial arts world.
Apart from other things, Yu Chenghui was well-known in the Chinese martial arts community, especially in the Chinese film and television martial arts community, where he was a top-notch expert. This was enough for him.
I made an appointment with the old man to visit him when I had the chance, and then I started my routine practice again.
After this incident, the old man taught me everything he knew, without holding back at all...
A few days later, Zhang Yuan came to the set with a bitter face.
Because we’re going to shoot another water scene!
It was almost April now, but the temperature in the Jiuzhaigou Waterfall Group where they were was still very low.
But it’s better than during the Chinese New Year.
The scene we are going to shoot today is actually about leaving the ancient tomb.
The scene where three women and one man from the Tomb Sweeping Sect escaped and crossed the water to get out of the ancient tomb was filmed at Xiangshan as early as now.
But the scenes that took place outdoors had to be shot at a group of waterfalls.
Don’t underestimate the film because it only shows a series of shots taken one second apart.
But in the actual shooting, the two scenes are very different.
Ju Jueliang led people to scout the area in advance. Among the three major waterfalls, Nuorilang Waterfall, Shuzheng Waterfall and Zhenzhutan Waterfall, they finally chose a mountain stream located at Zhenzhutan Waterfall to take pictures.
The terrain of this place, to put it simply, is a water curtain cave, with an entire steep river beach outside, and a natural scene of splashing water everywhere.
It is really beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful no matter where you take the photo.
It was this silky stone cave that kept gushing out spring water. For some reason, it always reminded Zhang Yuan of Teacher Yuan Quan...
Zhang Yuan held Meng Guangmei's left hand and Liu Qianqian's right hand.
On the other side of Li Mochou was Zhao Xinxin, who had a tall ponytail.
"Everyone, get ready. Once the machine starts, go outside. Do you understand?" Ju Jueliang instructed.
"I know." Zhang Yuan made an OK gesture, then turned to talk to the elder sister Meng Guangmei.
"Sister Guangmei, be careful where you step. You almost fell several times when you were crossing the river at Xiangshan before."
"Yes, yes, thanks to you for supporting me. I should be careful." The tall Meng Guangmei responded immediately.
Being tall, one's balance is always a little worse.
"You have to be careful too. Do you want me to support you after the shooting starts?" He turned around and asked Liu Qianqian.
"No, I can do it myself." The girl's stubbornness came up again. She raised her little head and replied in a delicate voice.
"Then you better be careful."
"Okay, all departments, please pay attention and prepare to start up... ACTION!"
At Fatty Ju's command, the four men's clothes became soaked... After all, according to the plot, they had just swam out of an ancient tomb, so naturally they were all soaked.
With wet clothes, he walked out of the Water Curtain Cave.
Meng Guangmei knew that she was prone to slipping, so she was extra careful.
Zhang Yuan also paid close attention to his feet.
That's just how things are in the world sometimes.
If you pay careful attention, you will be safe.
But once we relax our vigilance, disaster can easily occur.
Liu Xixi's Little Dragon Girl suit was the heaviest among the group. Once it was completely wet, it was difficult for her to get up by herself. She needed someone to pull her up from the ground.
Wow…
Several people walked out of the cave, breathing heavily.
"Aunt, Aunt, we are out...Where is Aunt?" Zhang Yuan was speaking his lines according to the shooting plan, with a look of joy at having escaped death on his face.
But he found that the Little Dragon Girl in white was gone.
At the same time, a cry of surprise came from beside his feet!
Water, as long as it has enough potential energy, can generate electricity. This is the principle behind hydropower stations.
Although it is not the flood season now, the waterfall flowing out of the cave is still very fast.
Zhang Yuan and Zhao Xinxin have practiced this and their legs have become more stable.
Meng Guangmei bent over, was cautious, and took small steps, which was fine.
This silly Xiao Longnu became even stronger after Zhang Yuan's reminder and walked forward with big strides.
As a result, he was carried away by the current and immediately lost his balance due to his body, which was already extremely heavy due to his wet clothes.
The whole person fell into the stream.
If it were anywhere else it would be fine, but this is a waterfall!
That water is not like a calm well, but a surging torrent!
As soon as she fell, she was immediately swept forward by the rushing stream.
And what lies ahead?
In addition to countless rugged rocks in the water, there is also a waterfall with a drop of more than 30 meters a few dozen meters away!
Once she was washed away, she would definitely be swept underwater and thrown out of the waterfall.
With a drop of dozens of meters and the speed of the water rushing past, one would be knocked unconscious if not killed!
Once you faint in the water, the consequences can be imagined.
Why do actors love to shoot fashion dramas or TV series shot in studios?
Because it is really dangerous to take real scenes!
There are so many things that will happen that you can't even imagine.
Just like "The Untold Story", who could have thought that an avalanche would occur during the filming.
In the face of the mighty power of nature, any preparation and precautions are futile.
In less than half a second, Zhang Yuan reacted quickly.
His eyes widened and he immediately bent down to catch it!
It was just like when they were filming the circus a while ago and grabbed Yang Mi who was almost trampled.
Zhang Yuan didn't have time to consider whether he would hurt the other party. He used his five fingers to exert force and subconsciously used the Eagle Claw Technique to grab the Xiaolongnu under his feet.
Coincidentally, just like Yang Mi that day, he subconsciously grabbed the girl's chest.
He didn't care about that. He didn't have time to think about whether it would make the other person shy or uncomfortable.
Life is above everything else, just like that day when someone hit me on the back of the head.
At times like this, all propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are meaningless.
"Stop!"
Zhang Yuan tried his best to reach out and grab it, and then...
It just missed.
Zhang Yuan: …
Zhang Yuan didn't blame the heaven or the earth in his heart, but now he blamed Liu Xiaoli.
I told you to give her more food!
If Yang Mi were here, I would have arrested him long ago!
I tried to grab Liu Qianqian's chest but it was empty...
Not only can we not afford A, we can't even catch him!
Zhang Yuan was so regretful!
"If I had known what seafood to eat, it would have been great if Cao Jianjun had added some papaya to every meal."
He quickly put his annoyance aside and rushed forward.
But the water flows faster than people!
He missed and Xiaolongnu slipped forward several meters.
It was obviously too late.
Fortunately, the assistant director brought by Fatty Ju from Hong Kong on the shore was quick-witted and quickly lay down and reached out to grab it.
As mentioned before, Xiaolongnu's clothes became extremely heavy after getting wet.
This guy has dark skin and is quite strong.
He grabbed Liu Qianqian's arm, but was unable to lift her up due to the combined effects of her weight and the water flow.
It seems that he is about to sell it again!
In the one or two seconds when he was slow to help, Zhang Yuan quickly arrived and when he was about to reach out to grab her shoulders, the assistant director had already let go.
Seeing that he had missed again, Zhang Yuan took a look.
In addition to the layered clothes, Xiaolongnu's iconic look also includes an ankle-length wig.
Liu Qianqian is over 1.7 meters tall and her hair is about 1.6 meters long.
At this moment, she was sliding forward, and her hair was completely stretched backwards under the influence of the water flow.
Zhang Yuan made up his mind, and with the hands that failed to grab her shoulders, he grabbed her hair and pulled her back!
He was ruthless and used all his strength to pull the other person back more than half a meter in the water.
He used his waist to pull her out of the water, then let go of her hair, put his hands under her armpits, and threw her to the shore.
"Huff, huff, huff..." Zhang Yuan panted heavily and climbed up the shore in two steps.
At this time, everyone gathered around Liu Qianqian.
She was trembling all over and crying bitterly... (End of this chapter)
