"Come on, come on!"

At night, in a big restaurant near the Magic City Studio.

Li Lianjie threw the recipe in front of Zhang Yuan.

"I'm treating you today, so you can order some food!"

Sitting at the round table were Li Lianjie, his wife and their daughter.

Xiang Zuo, as a relative of Lao Li, was also called over.

The only ones left were Zhang Yuan and his assistant.

How many young Chinese people became interested in martial arts because of Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple".

The same went for Zhao Xinxin. Zhang Yuan knew that she was a fan of Lao Li, so he specially invited her to have dinner together.

The girl was so excited that she could hardly speak.

"Just calm down and follow me. There will be many important people you will meet in the future."

Zhang Yuan smiled and comforted him.

Zhao Xinxin nodded vigorously. After this period of time, she knew that her boss was definitely not bragging.

[Received thanks from Li Zhaoxunxun, martial arts foundation +1! ]

After ordering a variety of dishes, Zhang Yuan deliberately chose some white-cut chicken, four-happiness roasted gluten, fried eel shreds, etc., which are specialties of Shanghai but not extremely expensive.

"You are quite knowledgeable. These dishes are well ordered." Old Li's wife praised.

Although Li Zhi is in the Hong Kong circle, she is actually from Shanghai.

Just like Huang Xiaoming’s daughter-in-law later, she was born and raised in Shanghai, and went to Hong Kong for “gilding”.

The dishes Zhang Yuan ordered were just what she wanted.

And when she saw that Zhang Yuan ordered dishes as soon as he said so, without any hesitation like a young person, and was quite generous, she also felt that the new friend her husband had just met was quite interesting.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" the waiter asked in his ear.

Zhang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Li Zhi who was smiling at him.

"Tsk, tsk, give me a coconut juice."

"Why drink coconut milk? Drink wine!" Lao Li interrupted.

"Lianjie, you are not in good health, you can't drink..." his wife hurriedly advised.

"Hey, today is different!" Old Li showed off his domineering attitude as the head of the family: "After surviving the disaster, I must get drunk with my savior!"

"How about a Maotai?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Why drink Moutai? If you want to drink, drink Niu Er!" Lao Li is also an old imperial capital man, and he speaks very authentically.

After the dishes were served, Li Lianjie wanted to have a toast with him.

My sister-in-law was also very generous and raised her glass to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for helping our JET today. Our whole family will remember your kindness."

"No need, it's a small matter. We help each other on the set." Zhang Yuan said politely.

"I like your attitude!" Lao Li immediately responded: "We in the martial arts industry should help each other, you are right!"

"We must unite so that we won't be bullied!"

Old Li then began to reminisce about the past.

It wasn't easy for him. When he was in mainland China, he was drained of money by the General Administration of Sports and the General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. No matter how much a movie made at the box office, it had nothing to do with him. He just got a fixed salary.

When he arrived in Hong Kong, he was drained of blood by gangsters and was almost killed.

When he arrived in Hollywood, he was bullied by white people again.

On the recommendation of Yuen Woo-ping, he took on the role in "Lethal Weapon 4" starring Mel Gibson, but the agreed salary of one million US dollars was only in the end.

Even so, you still have to beg the white master for this.

Mel Gibson, the protagonist, received a salary of 2500 million U.S. dollars.

Of course, Lao Mei is indeed worth the price, and he is also a tough guy. Later, he was banned for several years because of his involvement in the Hard Steel Squid Group.

Li Lianjie was quite drunk during this meal and he pulled Zhang Yuan aside to brag about everything.

After finishing the job, he took his unlucky apprentice Xiang Zuo with him.

"Flatten!"

Old Li's cheeks flushed and he raised his hand to point at his apprentice.

"Don't look at Zhang Yuan, he is about the same age as you."

"But he's much better at martial arts than you are!"

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled, Lao Li was drunk.

Everyone started telling the truth.

When I turned around, I saw Zhao Xunxun still nodding.

He thought to himself, "Don't cause trouble for me."

"Brother Xiang and I are similar..." Zhang Yuan wanted to make another excuse.

"It's far from enough!" But he was ruthlessly interrupted by Lao Li.

"You two are the same. The more you practice, the more you know."

"But Zhang Yuan is proficient in all disciplines, while Zhan Ping is not proficient in all disciplines."

"You need to work harder and not embarrass me!"

After hearing this, Xiang Zuo's face changed color.

Anyone sitting here would feel uncomfortable if their own master compared and ridiculed them in front of outsiders.

Plus, this second-generation rich guy has a bad temper.

Just think about it, simply put, parents are the best teachers for their children.

Everyone knows what kind of people Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Tai are, and what kind of personalities and tempers they have. How can the children be good if they are influenced by them?
Besides, he is not very old, only about twenty years old, which is when he is full of pride and arrogance.

"Hey, Lian Jie, Zhan Ping is pretty good. I think he's great." Li Zhi, the master's wife, even helped to pull him back.

But she agreed, but Lao Li disagreed.

Lao Li agrees, but Niu Er disagrees!

"What?" Li Lianjie pushed his wife away.

"As for boxing, you have only mastered the basics of Wing Chun and Baji."

"Zhang Yuan's Eagle Claw and Praying Mantis... Oh, and there's also Hung Gar."

"You have already reached the master level and are considered an expert."

"You need to learn more from others!"

Zhang Yuan: …

He now feels like a sheep.

Lao Li roasted him over the fire!

When he took a look, he saw Xiang Zuo's expression looked aggrieved and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"With this mentality, why practice martial arts..."

Li Lianjie was very happy with the meal and praised Zhang Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

But it made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a fishbone stuck in his throat...

The look he gave to the left was full of thorns.

"After filming tomorrow, hurry up and run away to avoid getting in trouble with this young master. He's very annoying."

After finishing the meal, he wanted to go back to the hotel immediately, but he didn't expect Lao Li to force him to practice drunken boxing.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that Drunken Fist was not his show, so why were you still arguing about it?

The next day, in the morning.

"Hey, don't bother yourself."

"Everyone who has signed the death warrant, come together!"

On the stage... it was not the high stage like yesterday, but an ordinary stage.

The platform is being urged to strengthen its protection and cannot be used temporarily.

Li Lianjie, who was wearing a dark red double-breasted silk jacket, waved his hand and shouted confidently to the audience.

"All challengers, go up!"

Whoosh, more than ten people rushed onto the stage together.

Li Lianjie raised his eyebrows, dodged and attacked the people around him.

One punch, one person retreats.

One elbow, one person falls to the ground
With a whip kick, one person flew backwards.

With a thud, Zhang Yuan fell to the ground, covering his chest and rolling over.

"Card!"

This scene is divided into six shots and was shot more than twenty times before it was passed.

"Come!" Li Lianjie helped him up from the ground.

"I'm sorry that you have to play such a small role where you don't show your face." He smiled and helped Zhang Yuan brush off the dust.

"With your performance and kung fu, you should at least be assigned an important supporting role."

“Didn’t we already perform one in Yunnan?” Zhang Yuan replied.

"That's not heavy enough." Li Lianjie glanced to the left and shook his head.

In terms of ability, Zhang Yuan is much more capable than his apprentice, so the role should be given to him.

But there is a difference between close and distant relatives, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Everything has been arranged this time. If we had known each other a few years earlier, you would have arranged a good role for me." Li Lianjie looked at him as if he were a junior.

After all, if he hadn't thrown out that sack yesterday, I would have been in trouble.

"If there's a chance later, I'll take you to Hollywood!"

"That's a deal now. You're not allowed to regret it." Zhang Yuan was not polite at all.

"Hahahaha!" Li Lianjie pointed at him and laughed.

He was proud of the boy's willingness to improve.

"Don't worry, I keep my word." After saying that, she hooked her arm around his shoulder and went to eat together.

There are still a few scenes in the afternoon, and we can finish work after filming Zhang Yuan.

Anyway, the purpose of his trip has been achieved, and Lao Li's favor has been retained, which will definitely be of great benefit to his future development.

After dinner, he called Sun Li.

After all, she was kind enough to bring me some free-range chickens and mushrooms from Yunnan, so I have to find time to go to her and get them.

By the way, you also have to have a meal with them, on the one hand to express your gratitude, and on the other hand to deepen the relationship.

Teacher Sun Li is a well-known figure with strong abilities.

Sun Li happened to be free, so Zhang Yuan said goodbye to the crew and left for a few hours to have dinner with her.

Sun Li called her good friend Lu Yan, the famous model, to have dinner with her.

This person is almost 1.8 meters tall and has a very strange appearance, the type that Chinese people cannot understand but white people particularly like.

She has small eyes. Compared with her, Li Ronghao has thick eyebrows and big eyes.

But white masters just like to look like this because it fits their stereotypes.

And those foreigners really like this look, because most white people have high noses, double eyelids and big eyes, and when they take a quick look at this flat nose and squinting eyes, they feel it is very sexy and full of exotic charm.

It is very common for people in the entertainment industry to bring each other’s friends to dinner parties and introduce resources to each other.

The fact that Sun Li brought Lu Yan here proves two things.

One is to treat him as a friend.

Second, the relationship between the two is just friends in the same circle. If they wanted to develop into lovers, they would not bring their best friend along. They would have to be sneaky.

Zhang Yuan and Lu Yan also exchanged their mobile phone numbers. Zhang Yuan and Lu Yan have a lot of resources in the fashion circle. Fashion resources are very important to the entertainment industry. Just as resources in the entertainment industry are also very important to models, they are complementary.

After they finished eating, Zhao Xunxun helped him carry a large box of local specialties back to the hotel for storage.

Just as he was about to go and say hello to Mr. Ba and the others and find out when the crew would arrange to shoot the remaining scenes, he was stopped by Li Lianjie.

"Brother Jie, what's the matter?" Zhang Yuan asked when he saw Li Lianjie's serious face.

"Well, it was Master Yu who taught you how to use the two-handed sword, right?" Old Li smacked his lips.

"Yes."

"Did he teach you anything else?"

"What do you mean?"

What's going on?

At the time he left, the crew arranged for Brando and Jack, who played the head coach of the Belgian Knights, to practice their moves in preparation for the subsequent fighting scenes.

This guy is quite arrogant. His ancestors were Italian nobles, and he claims that his pistol skills have been passed down for hundreds of years.

So people are particularly confident in this skill.

He told the director that he wanted to use a real gun during filming.

It's not an American Iai-style gun, it's a long gun. Or according to the hardness of the weapon handle this guy is holding, it should be called a spear.

After all, different countries have different understandings and judgment standards of weapons, so there is no need to go into details.

Anyway, in order to show his superb skills, this Brando brother took a stance on the spot and stabbed the willow tree nearby with his spear.

There was a click, and the gun tip went in about ten centimeters.

Then he asked his assistant to pick up a stack of newspapers and hold them in the air. The old man raised his gun and pierced all the newspapers... except the last one!
This shows how strong its control is.

Even Mr. Ba was amazed by this move.

Otherwise, how would people dare to ask for real shots?

As I said just now, this foreigner's ancestors were aristocrats. White people are proud to begin with, and this one is even more proud.

Seeing this, the Chinese people, who were famous for their kung fu, were shocked by his move. They looked so proud that their beards almost flew up to the sky.

Li Lianjie took a look and thought, are they going to use a real spear to shoot?

I fell down yesterday and almost died.

The real footage will give me a chill. What should I do if I really die?
If I die, what will happen to my children?
What should I do with my wife?
No longer a widow.

But now you say to use props, it seems that I, an international Kung Fu superstar, am afraid of this and it makes me feel embarrassed.

Li Lianjie can use a spear, but he is definitely not as good as this guy's spear. This guy only knows this skill, but he has practiced it to perfection.

"Oh, if only Mr. Yu were here, his pistol skills would definitely teach this foreigner a lesson... Hey?"

When Li Lianjie thought of this, he suddenly came to his senses.

That's why I came to find Zhang Yuan.

"Did the old man teach you anything else besides the two-handed sword?"

"what?"

"For example, snatching techniques?" Jet Li asked with an expectant look.

"I haven't taught you that." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

Old Li lowered his head in disappointment.

"But I've seen him come back."

"Hey, this is what I want!" Li Lianjie's eyes lit up. This one trick was enough.

"Do you know?"

"The old man just demonstrated it to me once..." Zhang Yuan told the truth.

"Oh." Old Li thought, I just read it once, what's the use?

“But I learned.”

Li Lianjie: ...

"Can you please stop panting when you talk? It makes me feel like I'm on a roller coaster."

Li Lianjie thought to himself that I fell from a high platform yesterday and my heart was shaking for several times. If you talk like this now, I will easily fall over.

"Just be able to strike back!" Old Li put his hand on his shoulder.

"The reputation of our Chinese martial arts community depends on you."

"Zhang Yuan, Xiao Yuanzi, we all got together with Old Yu."

"Let's not lose face!"

Zhang Yuan: …

Everything he said was my words!
I didn't expect that after adding fuel to the fire for years, there would also be a time when others would add fuel to the fire.

Then Lao Li pulled him in front of Brother Brando.

Old Li walked up to the foreigner and had a conversation with him, pointing at him and saying something roughly, "We also have experts in using guns here, and would you like to meet him?"

Brando was naturally interested, and the Chinese master certainly had to take a look.

He immediately threw his spear, the one with the real spear head, to him.

Tsk... Zhang Yuan knew that he was tricked today.

Not only do you have to fight, you have to fight well, otherwise Li Lianjie and the other crew members will lose face.

This matter has become a bit like a confrontation between China and foreign countries.

"I became a Boxer..."

He stretched his body, communicated with Brando in simple English, and led him to the willow tree in which the old man had just poked a hole.

"DONT MOVE." Zhang Yuan asked the man to stand in front of the willow tree, then turned his back with the spear in his hand.

The foreigner looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you turning your back to me?"

Li Lianjie, who was standing by, took one look at Zhang Yuan's attitude and realized that he was not bragging.

"Exactly the same as Mr. Yu."

"What is he doing..." Mr. Ba had never seen Zhang Yuan use this trick before.

In fact, he had seen it before, because Zhang Yuan used this trick to numb Master Zhao's hands.

But he used fists, not spears, so he didn't notice it at first.

"Just wait and see!" As soon as Li Lianjie finished speaking, Zhang Yuan suddenly stepped on his right foot, tensing his whole body and exerting force instantly.

The feet lead to the legs, the legs lead to the waist, the waist leads to the shoulders, the shoulders lead to the hands, and the hands lead to the gun.

Then I heard a whoosh sound coming from the air.

Before the foreigner standing in front of the tree could react, he heard a "bang".

At this moment, when he looked sideways, he saw a spear sliding past his face and firmly nailed to the tree.

The foreigner's eyelids were trembling in his deep eye sockets.

He was not mentally prepared at all.

The spear was less than five centimeters away from his cheek, almost touching his earlobe.

If it had deviated a little bit, the nail would not have hit the tree, but his head!
Brando took two steps back, then raised his hand to pull out his spear.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times!

This foreigner, who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed over 200 kilograms, had amazing strength, but he couldn't even pull the spear down after three attempts.

He thought to himself, how deep will the stab be this time?

He thought that if it really stabbed his head, his skull would be pierced directly!

Then he looked at the hole he had just made.

It pales in comparison!

The most powerful part of the counterattack is that he added the power of body rotation when making the move.

In any Kung Fu, whether it is boxing, kicking, or swordsmanship, arc-shaped moves are more powerful than straight-line moves.

Just like using a knife, between chopping directly and swinging it in a circle, the latter is definitely more lethal.

Because the charging process is longer, the power is naturally greater.

The principle of the spear-back-to-horse attack is to use the power of the body's rotation to increase the speed and force of the spear's thrust, which is naturally stronger than the opponent's flat thrust.

"Chinese Kung Fu?" Brando asked using the very non-standard bow he had learned in the past few days.

"YES."

"JET also knows this trick. When you shoot later, use real spears and let him demonstrate it to you." Zhang Yuanfu understood what Lao Li meant and immediately took the hint.

“No, no, no…” The foreigner shook his head like a rattle: “Just use props.”

"Safety!"

You see, that's what white masters are like.

Be confident at first and then be respectful. Only when you show your strength will people talk to you nicely.

Li Lianjie, Ma Zhongxuan, and "Master Liao" Chen Zhihui all clapped their hands.

"Okay, okay, this is a great move."

“Young talent!”

"To suppress the arrogance of that foreigner will boost the Chinese people's ambition."

Zhang Yuan walked away, smiling and greeting people, then quickly left the scene.

It’s not that he is humble in front of his seniors and feels embarrassed when being praised.

The main thing is that there are two holes in the tree now, and the Forestry Bureau may come to find it later.

slip away...

Xiang Zuo was also there watching.

He had been lectured by his master at the dinner table yesterday and was still holding a grudge.

Seeing Zhang Yuan taking the limelight now, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"No!" The man frowned, looking 80% similar to his father.

"Why does Master say that I am worse than him?"

"How am I worse than him?"

Not long after finishing this, Zhang Yuan finished filming the rest of the scenes.

Li Lianjie happily pulled him along, planning to have another meal together as a farewell dinner.

As a guest actor, being able to be personally seen off by Brother Jie made others extremely envious.

"Go, go, go, don't go home until you're drunk."

"Brother Jie, didn't Sister Li Zhi forbid you to drink?" Zhang Yuan said.

"Hey, I have the final say at home!" Old Li replied domineeringly.

Okay, you are so cool to talk with your pants pulled up.

At this moment, a group of friends that I had met in the past few days were walking towards the restaurant, but suddenly a person jumped out in the middle of the road.

He stood in front of everyone, holding a nine-ring knife in his left hand.

"Master, have you finished filming Zhang Yuan's scenes?"

"After the shoot, what are you going to do?"

"Since we've finished filming, then competing now won't affect the filming, right?"

The reason why he was holding a knife was because Lao Li said yesterday that he was not as good as Zhang Yuan in terms of boxing.

But he thought that he had practiced the Eight Cutting Swords.

Although there are no short knives here, other knives will do.

I am better at swordsmanship than you, so I won’t lose.

Zhang Yuan covered his face and wondered why this second-generation rich kid was so persistent?
I'm not Guo Biting, why are you staring at me?
He really didn't want to fight such a useless battle.

Take the previous counter-attack, for example. It brought some reputation to Chinese martial arts and also gave foreign friends a little shock.

What's more, I was able to gain recognition from several experts present, so it wasn't all in vain.

But fighting with this second-generation rich guy would only make me suffer, and it would be meaningless.

"Well...I have to go to the next filming location tomorrow, so I can't get hurt."

"If you really want to fight, my assistant's kung fu is not bad either. You can practice with him."

Zhang Yuan pushed Zhao Xinxin out.

If his assistant won the fight, he would pretend to teach him a lesson to give him face.

If you lose, there is no loss.

That's what he thought.

But look to the left.

what!
You want me to fight with your assistant?

Your assistant is still a weak woman!
He had no idea that Zhao Xinxin had practiced it before, and was much better than him.

You are looking down on me!
It would have been fine if Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, but once he did, this person got angry.

"Hey, Zhan Ping, don't force yourself to compete or exchange ideas." Lao Li also spoke.

Zhang Yuan turned around and nodded to Li Lianjie, thanking him for speaking up for him.

But at this moment Xiang Zuo's eyes were already red with anger, and the second-generation rich man was so angry that he actually rushed directly towards him.

"You have to compete today even if you don't want to!"

"I have to beat him down to prove myself in front of Master and other masters!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was still nodding his head to thank Lao Li, when he saw everyone's faces change.
At the same time, a whistling sound of wind was heard.

He felt something was wrong and turned around to look.

He turned around and moved half a step back when he turned his shoulders.

But just this half step caused trouble.

The Nine Ring Knife in Xiang Zuo's hand was slashing down towards his shoulder... (End of this chapter)
