Night time, on set.

After seeing Zhang Yuan demonstrate three sets of kung fu during the day, Li Lianjie regarded this young man as half of his own.

After all, the three masters of Seven-Star Mantis Fist, Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Two-handed Sword are all his old friends, and they are also partners who created the masterpiece "Shaolin Temple".

So when he was preparing for the fight scene at night, he felt...

Since I’m an expert and the other party isn’t weak either, let’s just get started!

Just like Guo Degang and Yu Qian.

Before they performed crosstalk, they had never spoken word to word in synchronicity.

That is something that students can do!

Even if it is a new program, such as a half-hour new crosstalk, Teacher Guo will only list an outline of about a hundred words.

Then, before the show started and before changing into their gowns, the two of them sat backstage, eating while Brother Qian smoked a cigarette.

Just a few words.

"When we get to this point, please give us a key point."

"Come over here, I'll make a gesture, and then you can start."

"This is just an internet joke, please ignore it..."

With just this brief introduction, it will be over in less than five to ten minutes.

What follows is entirely dependent on the two's impromptu reactions on stage and their years of practice.

After the performance, the program content will be adjusted based on audience response.

Otherwise, why would Lao Guo insist on bringing Brother Qian to perform at commercial events? Most people really can't handle him.

Li Lianjie is thinking the same thing now.

We are all experts, why do we need to use any tricks?
Those foreigners are the ones who need a set of tactics. We all come from this group, so we can just give a general idea.

Lao Li and Mr. Ba talked to him together.

"At first, you hit me first."

"I won't fight back."

"When it comes to the second set of shots, we need to cooperate well. At the beginning, you take action and I hide."

"In the end, I used defense instead of offense, and withdrew my punches when I could have killed you, showing the transformation of the character."

Although Zhang Yuan's role is only a guest appearance, he actually has quite a few lines.

But the most important thing is the fighting scenes.

The content of this scene is actually not complicated.

In the Miao village where Huo Yuanjia had lived for a long time, a child was caught after stealing a cow from the next village.

Huo Yuanjia followed the villagers to rescue them.

Zhang Yuan plays the role of a Miao master from the next village.

According to the rules of their village, anyone who steals a cow must be pressed on a bench and beaten with bamboo sticks by a group of people for the length of an incense stick.

Unable to bear the thought of seeing the child get hurt, and in order to repay the village for taking him in, Huo Yuanjia took the initiative to step forward and was willing to take the punishment on behalf of the child.

Next is Lao Li’s time to show off.

No matter how Zhang Yuan hit the other party, he didn't fight back.

Because Huo Yuanjia was tired of fighting and the ring.

But with the reminder from the old man in the village, he regrouped, kept dodging, and took action after a stick of incense burned out, easily defeating the opponent.

But he held back on the final blow.

Just like my own father back then!
Huo Yuanjia changed from then on and understood his father's painstaking efforts to stop fighting.

Therefore, the fighting scene in which Zhang Yuan participated is actually quite important, and it is an important part of the complete transformation of the character Huo Yuanjia.

"Are you sure you don't want to use a trick?" Zhang Yuan asked repeatedly before filming began.

"Hey, don't worry." Lao Li patted his shoulder and said, "You'll be more aggressive in a moment."

"The movements have to be fast and fierce, so that the photos look good."

"Besides, you are fierce and powerful enough. When I defeat you in the end, it will show how skilled Huo Yuanjia is in martial arts."

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

After all, he is the first generation of martial arts superstar in mainland China.

He is indeed a Wuying-level master.

Without that kind of self-confidence, he wouldn’t have been able to make a name for himself in Hollywood.

"Come on, get ready." Yuan Hepin waved.

"By the way, JET, you should wear a protective vest. This guy has a lot of power."

“It’s okay!” Li Lianjie waved his hand: “Besides, my clothes are as thin as sackcloth. They will show through if I wear protective clothing.”

Mr. Ba shrugged and said nothing more.

"ACTION!"

"If the child makes a mistake!" In front of the camera, Zhang Yuan changed into Miao village costumes.

To distinguish himself from the other villages, he wore a khaki suit.

At this moment, his eyes were fierce and full of arrogance, his bare arms were tense, and he shouted loudly.

"All the children in our village must burn this full stick of incense!"

"Make him remember this!" Zhang Yuan said as he pointed at the ground. He then emphasized his tone and spoke each word forcefully.

"Never steal again!"

Old Li, who had not yet stepped forward in the crowd, raised his eyebrows.

"His literary plays are also good."

“It’s full of emotion, articulate, and the tone and movements of each line change naturally.”

Li Lianjie didn't expect that he had not paid much attention to the mainland market in recent years, but suddenly a younger generation who was both good at fighting and had good acting skills would emerge.

"I'll fill up this incense stick." At this time, Li Lianjie slowly came to Zhang Yuan under the attention of everyone.

Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at Huo Yuanjia...Old Li is really not tall.

At this point, the two began to fight.

Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his leg and kicked Lao Li in the side of the face!
Li Lianjie was slightly startled when he felt the strong wind coming.

"Master Ba is right, it's really fast and fierce."

He quickly moved to the side, then took advantage of the momentum to fall to the ground, pretending to have taken the blow firmly.

As soon as the camera stopped, Zhang Yuan immediately reached out and helped him up from the ground.

"Brother Jie, the force just now was okay, right?"

Li Lianjie only felt a numbness on one side of his shoulder.

"It's okay, that's just right." He moved his shoulders and replied with a smile.

You can't just say you can't do it.

"Not bad, that was powerful and effective!" Yuan Hepin gave a thumbs up.

"Come again, be prepared."

The next few shots were of Lao Li being beaten.

Hands, waist, legs... Zhang Yuan held back every time, and Li Lianjie was also an old hand, so the cooperation was very good.

until……

"Ah!" Zhang Yuan threw a straight punch with all his strength, hitting the opponent's chest.

According to his plan, when he was about to hit the opponent, Lao Li would step back half a step, and then he would retract his strength, so that it would appear that he hit very hard, but in fact he did not receive much strength at all.

But he and Li Lianjie had forgotten that Lao Li's leg had just hit him.

When his fist was about to strike, Li Lianjie moved and felt his calf and half of his body going numb.

The movement was half a beat slow.

Boom!
Zhang Yuan punched Li Lianjie hard in the chest.

All I heard was a "uh".

After taking a deep breath, Old Li fell backwards straight away.

By the time everyone reacted, he was already lying on the ground.

Zhang Yuan: …

"Fuck!" Yuan Hepin stood up from the director's chair.

"Zhang Yuan, you..."

Zhang Yuan looked at his fist, then at Yuan Hepin, and thought to himself that he couldn't let others speak first.

He pointed at Li Lianjie on the ground.

"Director, he's blackmailing me."

Yuan Hepin: ...

"You knocked him down with one punch. I saw it all." said Mr. Ba.

Zhang Yuan pointed at Yuan Hepin and said, "You and he are working together to blackmail people."

Yuan Hepin: ...

call!
Li Lianjie on the ground took a deep breath and sat up by himself.

Then he found that after he fell to the ground, no one paid any attention to him, and no one even came to help him.

Because everyone was watching Zhang Yuan and Ba Ye arguing.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, oh my goodness.

An international superstar who earns 10 million US dollars for a movie.

If I hurt someone, how much compensation do I have to pay?

Let’s just let the past pass first.

"I'm fine." Li Lianjie shouted on the ground.

"Hello, is anyone there? I'm fine!"

"Oh my!" Zhang Yuan immediately squatted down, hugged Li Lianjie's shoulders and said, "Brother Jie, how come you suddenly collapsed while filming?"

Li Lianjie: ...

"I watched you hit me on the chest with my own eyes." Old Li choked for a long time before replying helplessly.

Zhang Yuan coughed lightly a few times.

When Old Li saw that he could lie with his eyes open and not blush or feel nervous, he thought to himself, what a talented person!

"I wasn't paying attention and was slow to react. Don't worry."

After all, Li Lianjie is an old kung fu superstar, he doesn't care about such a small matter at all.

The injuries I suffered while filming in my early years were much more serious than this.

This is also why his physical strength has declined rapidly in recent years.

In addition, his second wife is the "football star" Li Zhi, so he feels a little overwhelmed every night and cannot keep up with the domestic demand.

"Cough cough cough..." Li Lianjie also coughed a few times, and then said to the Eighth Master.

"Well, prepare a protective suit for me."

"Let's show each other some moves." She turned around and said to him.

Yuan Hepin turned his head away and smiled secretly.

You are allowed to show off, but you say you don't want any tricks or protective clothing.

What do you think? The people I found are awesome, aren’t they?

Mr. Ba saw him knock Shi Xingyu unconscious with his own eyes, so he was so cautious.

But Old Li didn't know that. Relying on his many years of kung fu experience, he thought he was just a good young man and didn't think much about it.

When I watched Zhang Yuan boxing during the day, I knew he was fast and fierce.

But after the fight, I realized that he was faster than I thought and his strength was amazing.

"No wonder Mr. Yu taught me his own unique two-handed sword technique."

"It's really extraordinary!"

Thinking of this, Li Lianjie sighed.

I am no longer young.

Although he is only in his early forties, he can hardly fight anymore.

Sometimes, he really envied his old rival Fangshilong.

The guy fell from a height and landed on his head. He rested for three hours and then got up to continue filming. That night he was able to drink, pick up girls, and sleep with actresses...

The physical strength, energy and recovery ability surprised him.

There's nothing you can do about it, it's genetics.

Fang Shilong's father drank every day, but he lived to be over ninety years old.

And what about Lao Li?
He lost his father at the age of two, and his mother and second brother both died of cancer in middle age.

In terms of the physical strength that comes with his genes, he is not on the same level as Fangshilong.

So when he looked at the strong and energetic young junior in front of him, he suddenly thought of the past.

"Brother Jie, do you want to rest for a while? I will give you a massage to help you calm down."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of blaming him, Zhang Yuan immediately changed his words.

After Lao Li massaged him for a long time, the other party was surprised to find that he felt much more comfortable.

I was hit in the chest just now and was stunned for breath.

To say I was injured wasn't a serious injury, I just held it in too much.

Now, after Zhang Yuan helped him to press, not only did he feel better, but also the pain and fatigue brought by the continuous filming in recent days were relieved a lot.

"It feels so good. You have this skill too." Old Li thought to himself, he is not only good at fighting, but also has a set of skills for maintaining health, which is rare.

[Received thanks from Li Lianjie, martial arts talent +1! ]

Zhang Yuan smiled and then frowned.

Li Lianjie is in poor health.

I only shoot for eight hours a day, but my body is so stiff.

Many of the major acupoints on the body are tingling, which is an obvious sign of internal organ decline.

Moreover, there were creaking sounds in his joints, which was obviously not normal for someone of his age.

"It seems that all his achievements were gained by overdrawing his body."

Zhang Yuan recalled the "vitality" attribute that he had occasionally pulled out, and thought to himself that he couldn't do that.

After pressing for a while, Lao Li closed his eyes, smiled and said it felt so good.

Then we continued filming, this time we were honest and followed the same routine.

As a result, the rehearsal took more than half an hour, and after only a few shots, Lao Li's assistant came up with a watch and told everyone to call it a day.

Yuan Hepin shook his head helplessly and could only continue tomorrow.

Zhang Yuan understood everything.

Before, he thought that only big shots like Lao Li would do this.

After massaging him, he realized that this guy really didn't have the energy to shoot for more than ten hours a day.

"Come on, come on, sit in my room for a while." After get off work, Li Lianjie pulled him over enthusiastically: "It just so happens that my lower back has been feeling weak recently."

You want to get me for free, right... Zhang Yuan showed a contemptuous look.

Sun Li, who was acting with him and had no lines tonight, looked at him with a smile.

"I've only been here for a few days when Brother Jie called me to my room."

"He's really awesome."

"Oh, if only our Chao could be as good as him."

Sun Li was afraid before, but now that she has a good relationship with him, she mainly gives her blessings and then appreciation.

Zhang Yuan didn't refuse and went to Lao Li's room.

Because he just happened to have something to say.

After all, Li Lianjie is a top movie star and he lives in the presidential suite.

There are three bedrooms, a study, a living room and a dining room.

He has earned this treatment through his own hard work, not by being a big shot.

Pressing Lao Li's lower back, Zhang Yuan spoke.

"Brother Jie, have we decided on the theme song for this film?"

"theme song?"

Li Lianjie turned around and asked: "No?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Then I'll recommend someone to you..."

After leaving Li Lianjie's room, Zhang Yuan made a phone call to Taiwan.

"Hey... go take a shower first..."

The other party picked up the phone.

"What's going on? Are you playing with Miss Hou?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Hehehe...what do you want from me?" Jay Chou laughed foolishly a few times before speaking.

"Do you remember what I said to you at Quanjude during the press conference for Initial D?"

"What's the matter?" Jay Chou asked puzzledly.

"I said I would find you a live one, and here it is."

"Oh..." Jay Chou just remembered.

"What kind of work?"

"Would you like to compose music for a movie?" Zhang Yuan lit a cigarette and asked while smoking.

"How much is it?" He was quite straightforward.

"free."

"I won't do that. Movie music is very troublesome. It has to follow the film and I can't create freely." Jay Chou was quite stubborn at that time, and the arrogance he had as a newcomer had not completely faded away.

"It's Li Lianjie's movie, a kung fu movie, and the main character is Huo Yuanjia." Zhang Yuan ignored his complaint and directly threw out the content.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long while.

[Received thanks from Jay Chou, basketball basics +1! ]

Zhang Yuan chuckled when he saw the attributes sent.

The rest is easy to say.

It's related to Kung Fu or Li Lianjie, it would be weird if he is not interested!

He is a person who admires Bruce Lee and loves traditional martial arts.

Half of his early works were related to various martial arts, which shows his hobbies.

"Do you want to do it or not?"

"Dry!"

Jay Chou agreed readily, and his tone became much more excited.

"I'll write it now."

"Okay, I'll tell you the story in general, but you have to keep it a secret, understand?"

"no problem."

At this moment, a female voice came from the other end of the phone, very soft and coquettish.

"Jay, come and take a shower together."

"No, I have to work!"

Hehehe... Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head. Miss Hou failed in her attempt to be flirtatious again.

After talking to him, Jay Chou told him to wait for good news.

He was not worried about the other party's creative speed. After all, in the early days, he could write a song even when he was taking a shit.

I can write the music for an album in just one week.

Li Lianjie did not fully agree.

He didn't even know who Jay Chou was.

Just let Zhang Yuan ask the other party to send the song over so that he can listen to it himself.

The next few days were pretty regular.

I had nothing to do during the day, so I polished the fight scene with Li Lianjie at night.

Old Li really "blackmailed" him and asked him to give him a massage every day.

It took a full week of filming before this scene was finally approved.

Since it was just a guest appearance, there was no wrap-up or farewell ceremony.

He exchanged his phone number with Sun Li and Li Lianjie, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.

"By the way, do you have time next?" Li Lianjie asked him before leaving.

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, we're going to go to Shanghai to shoot this movie later."

"There were fighting scenes at that time, and there was a scene where I was surrounded by people, and we were in need of good actors."

"Anyway, that scene doesn't show your face much, how about you help out with a cameo appearance?"

Zhang Yuan: …

I have reason to suspect that you just need a massage technician.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"I want to go abroad for two or three days."

"That's about it. It's almost over here too. See you in the Demon City."

"Row."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he called Boss Cai.

"Need to take another leave?" Cai Yinong was helpless.

In order to wait for you, the crew had to shoot other units first. A large group of actors were waiting for you to come back.

"I can't help it. Li Lianjie wants to give me more scenes."

Cai Yinong pursed her lips. This reason was more than sufficient!

Anyone who doesn’t go when Li Lianjie invites you is a fool.

"Okay, I'll talk to the crew, please do it as soon as possible."

Boss Cai put down his phone and felt a headache.

It was the first time that she encountered such a reasonable and well-founded argument, and she had no choice but to cooperate.

After saying this, Sun Li found him.

"Oh, that's because you performed well." After she knew that Li Lianjie asked him to follow the crew to Shanghai, she praised with a smile.

"By the way, you said you like to eat mushrooms and old chicken, right?"

"It's inconvenient for you to go abroad now. I just need to go back to my hometown in Shanghai after filming."

"I'll take it to the Magic City for you and put it in my refrigerator. You can pick it up when the time comes."

"Sure." Zhang Yuan thanked.

You see, making friends does have its benefits and is very convenient.

After arranging everything, he hurriedly said goodbye to the terraced fields with unparalleled scenery, took a car and then a plane, and rushed directly to Cannes... (End of this chapter)
