Suck...

In Li Lianjie's hotel suite, Zhang Yuan and Jay Chou looked at the still charming Li Zhi and her exaggerated "chest muscles", and both took several big mouthfuls of double skin milk.

"This guy is a bit anti-physics. He's still so strong at over 40..."

Zhang Yuan enjoyed the meal as he watched it.

"You are all young and promising successors. This time our Lian Jie is filming and we will rely on your help." The older sister was quite polite.

"It should."

The few of them exchanged polite greetings, and Li Zhi even asked Jay Chou to take a photo with him and get an autograph.

Only then did Old Li realize that this squinty-eyed boy was so famous?
He also called in director Yuen Woo-ping and martial arts director Yuan He-pin, and watched Jay Chou's performance again together.

Yuan and Pin didn't care. Yuen Woo-ping knew Jay Chou and started to speak well of him after hearing him.

He really wanted to use Jay Chou because he had to consider the box office and publicity.

Jay Chou's participation will undoubtedly be a great boost to the promotion and marketing, and will also attract a large number of his fans to the cinema.

"If I had known you had this connection, I would have asked him to play a cameo role in the movie," said Yuen Woo-ping.

Li Lianjie shook his head.

He had the final say in half of this film.

He didn't understand Jay Chou's songs, but when others said they were good and the director said they would be good for the film's box office, he just put up with it.

But if you want to be an actor, you must have real skills.

It's fine for Zhang Yuan to be able to fight and act, but he doesn't want to be a hobby singer.

So Li Lianjie is suitable to be a martial arts star, but not suitable to take the lead as a director and producer. He is too focused on his profession and not sensitive enough to commercial matters.

Jay Chou's deal was settled, and the director took Zhang Yuan aside and thanked him for a long time.

I also treated Jay Chou to a good meal.

Everyone had a great time chatting and drank too much. At night, Zhang Yuanjiang was still very excited at the table. He toasted with Li Lianjie frequently and pretended to be so cool that he carried Jay Chou, who had completely fainted, back to the hotel room.

Early the next morning, Jay Chou woke up on the floor with his head covered... He had rolled off the bed on his own.

"You're awake." Zhang Yuan was eating the breakfast sent by the hotel, drinking coffee, and looking at Jay Chou who crawled up from the ground wrapped in a quilt.

Jay Chou slapped his forehead and felt dizzy.

Then I thought about how Zhang Yuan drank more than me last night but acted like nothing happened, and I felt a little embarrassed.

"Hurry up and wash up. I'll take you to the airport later."

After eating and drinking, the two took the nanny car provided by the crew and rushed to Pudong International Airport.

On the way, Zhang Yuan saw that although Jay Chou was still holding his head and looked like he had a headache, he was much more sober now, so he started talking about the main topic.

"You've met your idol this time, and your song has been accepted, so you should be satisfied, right?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, quite satisfied, you're good." He immediately hooked his arm around Zhang Yuan's shoulder.

"When you were filming Initial D, how did you feel about filming?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile: "Are you interested?"

"It's quite interesting." Jay Chou thinks his character is pretty cool and looks very handsome.

This kid just loves to act cool. He's the type who has been feeling inferior for years, and his sudden success leads to an emotional rebound.

"If you find it interesting, have you ever considered making a movie yourself?" Zhang Yuan asked kindly.

"Shoot it yourself?" Jay Chou shook his head: "I'm not familiar with filming."

"So, think about it this way. Being your own director or producer, isn't that cool?"

"Dick!"

"Are you interested?"

"Ok!"

Dick is the only language Jay Chou understands...

"This way, if you ever want to make a movie, or make a movie yourself, you can call me."

“We invest together and work together.”

"If you want to make a movie, the mainland market is a big piece of fat meat. I'm afraid I can help you find distribution and production channels."

"Let's become bigger and stronger together, okay!"

"Great!" This guy was very excited.

I thought that Zhang Yuan was so kind. Not only did he think of me when he had good things to do, but he also encouraged me to develop my career.

It would have been fine if Zhang Yuan didn't mention it, but once he did, he actually became interested.

Moreover, it is easy to be timid when thinking about some things alone, but now that he has a friend to help and encourage him, he dares to think more boldly.

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, Zhang Yuan knew that the other party had listened to what he said.

Making friends and doing favors are all done in advance, and they are not done until problems arise.

All he needs to do now is plant a seed in the other person's heart and wait for it to sprout and bloom.

This is why he intentionally contacted him to join the crew of "Huo Yuanjia".

……

After seeing Jay Chou off, when he returned to the crew, Lao Li was already filming.

"Lao Ma, your role is that of the Hung Gar Tiger Claw. You need to be extremely strong and ferocious, but you can't do big moves." Li Lianjie was arguing with an old man.

"Besides, your tiger claw gesture doesn't seem fierce enough or murderous enough."

The man standing opposite Li Lianjie scratched his head and said, "I have never practiced Hung Gar. I just imitated it based on my own experience."

"As for the tiger claw, I've read the information and old videotapes, and the moves are definitely fine."

"But the effect is so-so." Li Lianjie was just saying this when he saw Zhang Yuan grabbing a handful of melon seeds and craning his neck to watch the fun, and then he had an idea.

"Hey, Zhang Yuan, come here!"

He pointed to himself.

"Yes, it's you, come here." Old Li waved at him.

Zhang Yuan patted the melon seed shells on his hands and took big strides forward.

"Aren't you the accountant's eagle claw?"

"That Kung Fu technique looks fierce. Show it to Lao Ma."

The man called Lao Ma by Li Lianjie is called Ma Zhongxuan.

In the film, the character played is called Zhao Jian, who is Huo Yuanjia's rival since childhood.

Horndi was once defeated by the opponent's father because he stopped.

Therefore, Huo Yuanjia’s first fight in the film is with this old man.

Just like those foreigners, the masters in this movie, the actors themselves, are also masters in real life.

And this Ma Zhongxuan is an expert among experts!

Even Li Lianjie has to call him brother.

Because he is one of the first batch of "Wuying-level" athletes in China.

He has won first place in Changquan, stick fighting, sword fighting, traditional boxing, double hook, and sparring.

He is also the director and planner of various national martial arts competitions across the country.

If we really fight in a martial arts competition, even when he was young, Lao Li might not be able to beat him, let alone now.

Tsk!
The old horse head showed displeasure.

I thought to myself, Lao Li, you are more famous than me, but you don’t treat me as a human being.

You want someone who looks to be in his twenties to teach me?
All my students are older than him.

Lao Ma Tou started practicing martial arts at the age of eight and is absolutely gifted.

After only half a year of practice, his teacher exclaimed.

"This is eight years old!"

Now you know how powerful it is.

Li Lianjie saw that his old friend was unhappy.

But he changed the other person's attitude with just one sentence.

"Zhang Yuan is a student of Mr. Yu Chenghui."

"Oh, what a honor." Ma Zhongxuan immediately smiled.

why?

Because he is from the SD Province Wushu Team.

In terms of seniority in the Shandong Wushu Team, Yu Chenghui is his senior, and both of them are well-known martial artists in Shandong.

When he heard that it was Mr. Yu's student, Ma Zhongxuan bowed and greeted him in the manner of a martial artist.

"Hello, Teacher Ma." Zhang Yuan also returned the greeting.

"You also know Eagle Claw?" Ma Zhongxuan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard that Mr. Yu knows Eagle Claw."

"I heard that the old man likes to chew chicken feet..."

"Haha, I didn't learn it from Mr. Yu." Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained.

"But I think it's not appropriate to use Eagle Claw as the material for the character of Mr. Ma."

"Then what to use?" Li Lianjie thought to himself, I gave you the chance to show it, why don't you use it?

"No need for Eagle Claw, why not just use Hung Gar? Isn't that what this character practices?"

"If someone knew Hung Gar, it wouldn't be such a big deal." Old Li waved his hand.

Although he knows the Hung Gar stance, it's not very authentic.

"I can." Zhang Yuan patted his chest.

"No..." Li Lianjie laughed.

I know you know a lot, but you can’t boast like that.

Ma Zhongxuan also laughed: "Brother Zhang, Hung Fist is a very advanced internal and external martial arts. Lian Jie and I don't dare to say that we can do it."

"You can't just say you can do it after watching a few movies and watching some kung fu videos."

"I didn't learn it from watching videos." Zhang Yuan replied seriously.

"That is?"

"Zhao Zhilin."

With a click, Li Lianjie and Ma Zhongxuan clasped their fists together to show respect.

Master Zhao is the authentic successor of Hung Gar.

Lao Li only played Huang Feihong, but Lao Zhao is a direct disciple of Huang Feihong. Master Zhao can definitely play the accordion and say: "No one knows Hung Gar better than me!"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he immediately assumed the standard Hung Gar stance.

After taking a horse stance with both legs, the arms are pressed against the torso and retracted to accumulate strength, and then the right fist is bent and pointed forward, with veins bulging in the arms.

At the same time, the footwork is different from other kung fu, it is not stepping or striding, but sliding forward!

“Golden Lock Continuous Steps!” Ma Zhongxuan recognized it immediately: “The most basic footwork of Hung Gar.”

"Yes, it is the true teaching of Hung Gar!"

Old Ma was truly an expert. After just a few glances he was sure that the young man was not talking nonsense and was learning the authentic inner school Hong Quan.

"Hong Family Three Treasures Fist."

"Gongzi Fuhu Fist, Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist, Hong Family Iron Wire Fist."

"I think the foundation of his moves is more like the Iron Wire style, the most powerful!"

Li Lianjie's eyes sparkled, and he said with surprise: "This kind of fierce feeling is exactly what you need for your role."

"Good, good, it's really eye-opening, really eye-opening!" Ma Zhongxuan clapped his hands.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a young and talented junior. It seems that there is still hope for us to pass on martial arts."

"Lian Jie, the person you found is good."

"Not bad!" Li Lianjie felt proud of the compliment and held his head high with his chest puffed out.

I thought to myself that I gave this kid the chance to show off his skills, and he really took advantage of it!
"Teacher Ma, for the sake of filming, I dare to be your teacher?" Zhang Yuan asked politely.

"Ah!" Old Ma shook his head: "We don't care about this in our business. Whoever has the greatest ability wins. You don't need to care about age."

Li Lianjie was curling his lips and said, "You just saw that he looked unhappy even though he was young."

When everyone saw the two masters in the crew having a great time chatting with Zhang Yuan, they all looked at them with envy.

Different from everyone else, there was a tall, thin, fierce-looking young man in the crowd who had his mouth drooping, looking very dissatisfied with this.

He frowned and walked forward.

When he came to Li Lianjie, he stopped and bowed respectfully.

"master!"

"Oh, Zhan Ping, you are here too." Li Lianjie smiled happily when he saw this person: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Yuan."

"About your age, but very good at Kung Fu."

The man who calls Lao Li his master is named Xiang Zhanpin.

His stage name is Xiang Zuo!

He is Li Lianjie's only disciple, there is no second one.

Of course, the reason why he was accepted as a disciple was not because he had an excellent talent for martial arts, but because his father Xiang Huaqiang had done a favor to Lao Li.

It was still the things that happened in Hong Kong back then. After his agent was shot dead in the street, Xiang Huaqiang stepped in and settled the forces in Hong Kong, which led to the subsequent "Huang Feihong" series and Li Lianjie's second career spring.

In addition, with the support of Yang Dengkui, the leader of the Tiandao League, Li Lianjie's films can be sold at high prices in Taiwan.

Xiang Zuo has known this kung fu superstar since he was a child, and the two families have a close relationship.

There are many second-generation rich people in this world.

But it is very rare to find someone like this "second-generation rich man" who lives like this.

This guy has been good at nothing since elementary school and is never satisfied with anything he does.

I learned swimming at the age of twelve, learned basketball at the age of sixteen, and started modeling at the age of eighteen.

Basically, I do whatever I want, all thanks to my dad paving the way for me.

Then I wanted to be an actor.

This guy was still very angry and didn't want to rely on his family anymore, so he went to the film set to find work on his own.

As a result, he played supporting roles for several years but never became famous.

In the end, I went back home obediently.

Dad took a look and asked, "You want to make a movie, right?"

You want to be a martial arts star, right?

OK!

In fact, Xiang Huaqiang was quite happy to hear that his son was a martial arts star.

Because the Xiang family is actually a major Southern Kung Fu school, a branch of the Cai Mo school.

Their family has a legitimate inheritance.

Xiang Huaqiang himself also knows kung fu, but his level is average.

But because of the inheritance of the sect, he still has very good connections in the martial arts world.

I'll find a teacher for my son right away.

At the beginning, the person they were looking for was not Li Lianjie, but Liang Shaohong, a disciple of Ip Man.

At the age of 13, he was introduced by Bruce Lee and became Ip Man's first private student, receiving one-on-one teaching.

He improved Ip Man's boxing style and created "Practical Wing Chun".

Later, in Sunglasses King's "The Grandmaster", Tony Leung Chiu-wai learned kung fu moves from this man in order to play Ip Man, so the film was actually quite real and authentic.

Under Liang Shaohong, Xiang Zuo learned Wing Chun and Eight Cuts Knife.

Otherwise, you would say this guy is a second-generation rich kid.

After only a short period of study, he felt that he had achieved success.

He then asked his father to find another teacher.

This time the person he was looking for was Bajiquan master Wu Lianzhi.

This teacher is more interesting.

There is an old Sega game called Virtua Fighter.

It is the first 3D fighting game in the history of games.

Among them, there is a character named Yuki Akira, who uses Bajiquan.

This character was created using motion capture technology by Mr. Wu Lianzhi, who was personally invited by the boss of Sega at the time to go to the island country.

Xiang Zuo continued to learn Bajiquan with this teacher for a long time.

But just like learning swimming, basketball and being a model, this person's patience and talent are really limited.

It didn't take long before he encountered a bottleneck, and then... he felt that he had succeeded.

The sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and he felt that he was able to do it again!

I have learned so much Kung Fu, I must be a Kung Fu superstar this time!

Someone had to lead the entertainment industry, so Xiang Huaqiang found Li Lianjie.

What else can I do when I see this child who I have seen grow up right before my eyes?
For the sake of the Xiang family, I have no choice but to spoil her!
So he was brought along for the filming of Huo Yuanjia.

He was given a small role that allowed him to show his face.

That is, Huo Yuanjia's powerful enemy in the film is also the adopted son of Qin Ye, an important character whom he accidentally killed.

It can be said that the conflict between Huo Yuanjia and Qin Ye in the film, which ended with one death and one injury, was instigated by this adopted son.

And after Master Qin died, Huo Yuanjia's entire family was killed.

He is the biggest villain and the most annoying character in the whole film, even more hateful than the Japanese who poisoned Huo Yuanjia.

It just so happens that he doesn't look like a good person, which is just right.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan couldn't understand it. Although the Xianghua Wall was not good-looking, it was still okay.

Xiang Tai was also very beautiful when she was young.

How could they give birth to a son who doesn't look as good as the couple themselves?

And not only did he not inherit any excellent genes such as face, brains, and abilities.

He also claimed that he had developed severe kidney deficiency due to practicing martial arts... Zhang Yuan had never seen anyone else develop like this.

It’s a waste of Guo Biting’s good looks and figure.

Zhang Yuan thought that he was not worthy of it, so he decided to find a chance to help.

Xiang Zuo nodded towards Zhang Yuan as a greeting.

He thought to himself, he had practiced so many martial arts, but his master still treated him like a child.

Why is he so enthusiastic towards this person of the same age whom he has never met?

Not only the master, but also Teacher Ma was so kind to him.

Usually, he treats me like he is taking care of a junior, but to him, he is like he is communicating with a friend.

Moreover, Xiang Zuo had heard from the crew these days that Yuan Hepin had found a guy with good kung fu skills to make a guest appearance, and even Li Lianjie approved of it.

He was curious.

Now that he saw Zhang Yuan being able to communicate on an equal footing with his respected senior, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

As a second-generation rich, he will always feel unhappy when he sees others are better than himself.

"Master, is this the young master you mentioned?" Xiang Zuo asked.

"He's pretty good."

"All the skills have been practiced very well."

"Oh, that's similar to me." Xiang Zuo thought. After all, he had also learned Wing Chun, Ba Zhan Dao and Ba Ji Quan, and considered himself to be multi-talented.

He frowned and clasped his fists towards Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." Zhang Yuan replied with a polite smile.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face.

"My master said you are very powerful."

"Brother Jie, you're too kind." Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly.

Seeing that he was humble, Li Lianjie smiled happily.

If you are humble and not arrogant, there is always room for improvement.

"My master wouldn't say anything nonsense."

"Since you are so good." Xiang Zuo suddenly assumed the Wing Chun stance.

"Then can you compete with me?"
