"Then can you compete with me?"

On the set of "Huo Yuanjia", Xiang Zuo faced Zhang Yuan, a peer of his age, and posed the starting posture of Wing Chun with a sharp look.

"The steps are weak and the angle of the waist is not right..."

But looking at this opening move, it is full of loopholes.

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly in his heart.

You said you should just be a second-generation rich kid, eat and wait for death at home, why did you come out to the entertainment industry...

Facing the other party's invitation to compete, Zhang Yuan said...

I'd only fight with you if I had a bump on my head!
And fight to the left.

I lost the fight, and I would be embarrassed if this news got out.

The fight was won.

With the Xiang family's style of always making fun of others, nothing good will happen to them.

It's either a loss of face or a loss of dignity. If you confront him in any way, you will definitely suffer.

What's the point of knitting?

Who would do such a loss-making business?

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and quickly found an excuse.

He clasped his fists, bowed, and replied with a very kind and polite smile.

"Brother Xiang is willing to compete with me, which shows that he thinks highly of me."

"But now I still have to practice with Mr. Ma."

"We'll have to shoot some fight scenes later."

"If we compete now and get hurt, it will affect the work of the crew, both you and me, which is not good."

When Xiang Zuo saw that he refused, he immediately frowned and put on the standard domineering expression that he showed to his family.

I don’t know how many artists and actors have seen this expression.

For example, Zhang Yuan is quite familiar with Stephen Chow.

After signing the contract with the Xiang family, not only were his salary and share of the profits deducted, he was also labeled as a money launderer by the outside world.

As a result, Stephen Chow eventually fell out with the Xiang family, and he even planned to run away and get rich.

Later, when filming "Shaolin Soccer", Xiang Huaqiang even threatened that he would deal with anyone who dared to help Stephen Chow!
In the end, it was the fourth brother Xie Xian who stepped in to help Stephen Chow settle the matter and even performed for free.

After all, the Xie family has Emperor Entertainment Group behind them, so it is difficult for the Xiang family to move.

In fact, the Xiang family is just a well-known family, especially after 97, their power has been greatly weakened.

Seeing the other party's relentless look, Zhang Yuan felt troubled.

He pressed forward to the left and moved directly towards him.

But at this moment, a big hand pressed heavily on the wrist of the young master of the Xiang family.

"Zhan Ping, Zhang Yuan is right." Li Lianjie, his master, said with a smile.

"It's not good to fight on the set. You have a scene to shoot this afternoon. You can't get hurt, and you can't lose face for me, understand?"

When Xiang Zuo saw his master's words, he quickly put away his violent attitude.

"Yes."

Li Lianjie was still able to suppress him to some extent.

And Lao Li would stop it. Like Zhang Yuan, he used the excuse of being afraid of affecting the filming.

No one knows a son better than his father. Even if he is not his real father, he is still a teacher.

How could Old Li not know how capable this kid is?

And through the contact these days, he also roughly knew Zhang Yuan's level.

A quick comparison will make it clear that if Xiang Zuo hadn't used the favor punch, there would have been no chance of winning.

If he loses, this kid will get angry easily.

As a master, I have no face left.

So he quickly stopped him.

Boy, stop causing trouble for me!

If you get hurt, I won’t be able to explain to your dad.

Li Lianjie turned to look at Zhang Yuan who had a humble face, knowing that this boy was just pretending.

He knew that Zhang Yuan was making excuses to avoid fighting.

"We are about the same age, but Zhang Yuan is much more sensible than my apprentice."

Old Li pulled Xiang Zuo aside to chat, while Zhang Yuan started communicating with Master Ma.

After lunch, I took a break.

Seeing that he had nothing important to do, Zhang Yuan wandered around the set.

After a while, we arrived at the crew where the filming was going on.

The scene at this moment is about the second-generation rich man Xiang Zuo.

Zhang Yuan turned around and saw the familiar figure standing in the crowd.

"Master Liao..."

This man is named Chen Zhihui, and he plays Xiang Zuo's adoptive father Qin Ye in the film.

Of course, the most famous character on the Internet in later generations is Master Liao, the "freeloader" master in "Ip Man".

Although this guy was hit by Zhen's bullets and had no power to fight back in the film, in fact, in real life, whether it is acting or kung fu, he is better than International Dan.

This person graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.

He played roles such as Bao Xin and Taishi Ci in the old version of "The Three Kingdoms".

He also played Wang Jin in "Water Margin".

The most famous BGM, "When the suona sounds, my parents raised me in vain", is named after his character, "Wang Jin Beats Gao Qiu".

The person Zhang Yuan who was beaten was also familiar to me. He was Brother Xiu Ge. He was indeed a good fighter and a very skilled martial artist.

This person also played the Ming hero Qi Jiguang in the later "The Ming Dynasty 1566", and his appearance was heroic and domineering.

In addition, he is also the successor of the Northeastern boxing style, Shaobei Boxing, and is also the school's publicity ambassador and guidance expert.

So this guy dare not say that he can beat Lao Li, but beating Zhen Zidan is easy.

In front of the camera, Huo Yuanjia, played by Li Lianjie, discovered that his wife and children had been slaughtered, and came to Qin Ye's house with a knife to seek revenge.

The adopted son Xiang Zuo, who committed the crime, saw Huo Yuanjia coming, and committed suicide by cutting his own throat in front of Huo Yuanjia and Qin Ye's wife and daughter, with blood splattering on the spot.

The disaster did not extend to his family. This character actually killed his old mother and young daughter because his adoptive father died in a fight. That's why Zhang Yuan said that this character is the most disgusting in the whole film, even more disgusting than the Japanese who poisoned Huo Yuanjia.

The difficulty of this scene actually lies with Lao Li, who has to show the transformation and psychological changes of the character Huo Yuanjia, from when he broke down and wanted revenge after learning that his daughter and mother were killed, to when he saw Xiang Zuo commit suicide and could not bear to kill Qin Ye's wife and daughter, so he put down his butcher knife.

To be honest, it's hard.

Zhang Yuan tried to put himself in the other's shoes and thought about it for a long time, but he felt it was difficult to express himself.

But Li Lianjie is a veteran actor after all, and his acting skills are impeccable.

He handled this emotional outburst scene with great ease.

But alas, this is not a one-man show.

"Card!"

"To the left, your expression should be more resolute."

"Card!"

"Your character cannot be cowardly, nor can you admit your mistakes, so your eyes must be resolute."

"Card!"

The continuous NGs are all because of the young master of the Xiang family.

Master Liao, who was watching from the side, shook his head, but then he was stunned and quickly stopped his actions, fearing that others would see him and gossip about him.

Everyone knows that the Xiang family is not easy to deal with and has a bad temper.

Mr. Li had no choice but to pamper him, giving him "lectures" and adjustments constantly.

Kneeling on the ground, one adult and one child, the two actors who played Qin Ye's wife and daughter could only kneel aside and wait.

You really don’t want to say that.

Zhang Yuan touched his chin. Ever since he met Li Zhi, his confusion about why many people liked married women has eased a lot.

Now when I look at the actress playing the widow on the ground, I feel that she is pretty...

Zhang Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I can't have this habit."

Zhang Yuan watched for a while and then left. He felt it was exhausting just to watch, not to mention to act.

He came to an open area in the center of the film and television city, where a group of workers were hanging a protective net for a towering arena.

He had a thought in his mind.

"This should be where Lao Li was injured."

The next day, Li Lianjie and Ma Zhongxuan were going to shoot the ring fighting scene between Huo Yuanjia and his childhood rival Zhao Jian.

This scene was quite exciting to watch in the cinema.

The two men were fighting on a platform nearly ten meters high, and if they took a step back they would fall from the sky.

If this kind of scene were put on Hollywood, they would definitely build a stage on flat ground, and then cover it with green screens all around, using special effects to create the effect of floating in the air.

But this is in the country!

Special effects are too expensive, and all of these creators have experienced the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts, and they are all highly skilled and courageous.

But Li Lianjie is a superstar after all. When he is filming now, the level of security protection is definitely much higher than when he was in Hong Kong.

After consultation between directors Yuan Hepin and Yu Rentai, they decided to build two stages for the filming.

The two arenas are of the same height.

But one is for shooting from bottom to top.

One is for flat shooting.

The flat version will have four poles at the four corners of the ring, with two layers of protective nets hung between the poles. Even if you accidentally fall off the platform, you will be caught by the nets.

When shooting from this platform, the camera will adjust the angle so that the protective net is not captured.

The two masters, Li Lianjie and Ma Zhongxuan, will really fight on this high platform.

The other one, which was used for overhead shooting, had no protective net. In the post-production editing, the camera kept switching between it and the real one to create the sense of déjà vu that the characters were fighting on an unprotected high platform.

All performances on this unprotected platform will be performed by professional stunt doubles.

Anyway, you can hardly capture the face if you shoot from above.

If special effects are not enough, you can make up for it with skills.

Anyway, labor is cheap in China, and it doesn’t cost much to build an extra platform, but it is cheaper and more time-saving than special effects.

Li Lianjie and Ma Zhongxuan were pulled onto the platform by a crane, and filming was about to begin.

Zhang Yuan was standing under the platform, shaking his head in confusion.

"No, no."

"The protection is so tight, with two layers of nets, how did Li Lianjie get injured?"

Zhang Yuan remembered very clearly that in an interview in his previous life, Li Lianjie said that he fell from a 30-foot-high ring while filming "Huo Yuanjia" and was unable to get up for a long time.

After going to the hospital for a check-up, it turned out that there was nothing serious. He thought to himself that he was in good health and could still handle it.

But after finishing the filming, this actor took his family to meditate on Mount Everest. However, he found that after reaching an altitude of about 4000 meters, he had difficulty breathing, almost fainted, and even began to suffer from incontinence.

I actually suffered internal injuries during that fall!
The team leader carried him down the mountain overnight, gave him oxygen and sent him to the hospital, and he finally recovered.

Lao Li almost died on the mountain because of this.

Zhang Yuan knew that he was in danger, so he agreed to come to Shanghai for a guest appearance, and dragged Cai Yinong's crew with him without rushing back.

Besides, Shanghai is close to Hengdian, and if you want to go there, you can get there in a few hours by car.

The setting of the film is Tianjin, after all, the beggars in the film said so.

"Huo Yuanjia, when were you number one in Tianjin?"

Tianjin is a water and land port, so the props team arranged a number of carts with sacks on them on the street.

Zhang Yuan thought about it, walked to a cart, reached out to grab a sack... and then almost fell over.

"It's so light!" He thought it was very heavy and almost used too much force on the injured person.

After all, it is a prop, so it must be easy to carry.

These sacks contain not real grain but fluffy cotton wrapped in buckwheat husks.

It looks big, but actually weighs only two or three pounds each.

Zhang Yuan can carry ten sacks on his shoulders and move forward steadily, just like in a kung fu movie.

He picked up one and returned to the platform.

On the stage, Lao Li and Lao Ma had already started fighting.

Ma Zhongxuan took him to practice Hung Gar for a long time yesterday, mainly studying the postures of Tiger Claw and Iron Shirt.

Zhang Yuan’s teaching was not in vain, as he gained a lot of attributes from the other party.

call!
Zhang Yuan looked up and saw Li Lianjie half of his body leaning out of the platform, but at this thrilling moment, he was pulled back.

Such dangerous actions occur more than once, and appear several times in almost every set of shots.

At first Zhang Yuan was nervous, but later he got a little tired of it and started yawning.

he said in his heart.

"It's not because of my arrival that the cause and effect are disturbed."

"It helped Old Li avoid the original disaster?"

This is also the reason why he sometimes doesn't want to interfere too much in certain things, as going against the will of heaven can easily backfire.

"Forget it, it's better if he's okay..."

Just as he was thinking about something, he heard an exclamation from the crowd around him.

Li Lianjie on the high platform took several steps back, lost his balance, and fell backwards at the edge of the ring.

But I don’t know whether to say it’s too lucky or too unlucky.

There were clearly two layers of protective nets, but the place where he fell happened to be the gap between the nets!
The whole person fell backwards and was caught by the net first. Then, within less than a second or two, the edge of the net deformed, and Lao Li sank down, breaking away from the first layer of protection.

After all, he is old and his reaction is not as quick as before.

In addition, Li Zhi accompanied him every day, so he felt a little weak.

People like Li Zhi feel weak no matter who they are with.

After falling to the second floor, he realized that something was wrong and wanted to reach out and grab the protective net.

But it was too late. He wanted to turn around and throw himself into the net, but he only heard a tearing sound, and then he felt his body lighten.

Li Lianjie quickly raised his hands to hold his head, showing that he still had some self-awareness as a martial artist.

Protect your head, everything will be fine.

He felt that the falling process was extremely long, as if it had been several minutes.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it only took a second.

Li Lianjie did not encounter the "hard landing" as he had imagined, but felt that his body hit a soft object that looked like a cloud.

He thought to himself, it’s bad!
After falling from such a high place, one should feel dizzy and in unbearable pain all over the body.

Although I feel dizzy and a little painful now, I don’t have that solid feeling of landing.

That means that your brain has begun to alleviate the severe injuries caused by near-death injuries through imagination.

He thought of his daughter, his wife and her two big breasts... and felt very upset.

He didn't dare to move and just lay there quietly.

"JET, are you okay?"

"Wake up!"

"Hurry and see if anything is wrong!"

Soon, a group of people gathered around.

Li Lianjie saw that his hearing was clear, so he slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that there was a large sack under his body, which was falling on this thing, providing a lot of cushioning.

In addition, after breaking two nets in a row, his falling trend was eased a lot. With the help of people on both sides, he was surprised to find that he could stand up on the spot.

"Oh my, I'm so scared." Yuan Hepin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.

"Props, stagehands, martial artists, all come over here!"

Mr. Ba started cursing immediately.

"How to do that!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Li Lianjie's lips turned pale and he was helped to sit aside to rest.

The crew's medical staff rushed forward to do a full-body examination.

"Master, Master, are you okay?"

At this moment, Xiang Zuo suddenly rushed out, his face full of tension, and grabbed Lao Li's shoulders and shook him.

Zhang Yuan on the side watched quietly and shook his head.

"I'll shake some more for your master later..."

He has no common sense at all. The patient cannot move at this time. This second-generation rich guy really doesn't understand anything.

"It's not serious, but it's best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up." The medical staff took off the stethoscope and his expression relaxed a lot.

“That’s good, that’s good…” Director Yuen Woo-ping was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.

If Li Lianjie fell and got into an accident, or worse, someone died, his career would probably be over.

"Huh..." Yuan Heping squatted on the ground and sighed.

"Luckily Zhang Yuan reacted quickly and threw a sack for you to cushion your attack."

"Otherwise something serious might happen."

Sack...Li Lianjie only then recovered from his shock.

"You threw it?" He looked up at the young man beside him.

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly.

[Received thanks from Li Lianjie, martial arts basics +7, fighting skills +5, Tai Chi basics +5, Fanziquan basics +6! ]

Li Lianjie weakly cast a respectful look at him.

"Well, thanks to you."

“Without your sack today…” Li Lianjie raised his head and forgot about the platform above his head. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Without this sack, I would be disabled if not dead.”

"I've made note of this. I'll have a chance in the future..."

"Brother Jie, we are both in the martial arts business, so let's not talk about this. You should go to the hospital for a check-up first. Your health is the most important." Zhang Yuan understood that the more nonchalant he was and the more he didn't mention this matter at this time, the deeper the impression would be on the other party.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it when I come back from the hospital."

Li Lianjie grabbed his arm and squeezed it hard.

His good disciple Xiang Zuo, who was standing by, felt even worse when he saw his master showing trust and care towards this person of the same age.

"Master has never looked at me like this."

After this happened, the crew quickly adjusted the shooting plan and filmed other people's scenes first.

It was not until the evening that Li Lianjie returned to the crew.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

After checking and finding nothing serious, Old Li was as happy as a child and found him as soon as he came back.

Took Zhang Yuan to go out for dinner.

Everyone in the crew could see that after what happened today, this guy and Old Li had become friends... (End of this chapter)
