Chapter 45 Martial Arts Training
Early in the morning, Zhang Yuan took several buses before arriving at the Changping Film Set in the northwest corner of the imperial capital.

Yang Tao told him on the phone that the film would not officially start shooting for a few days, but the actors had to arrive early.

why?
Martial arts training!

In the film and television industry, it is not uncommon to train in advance for filming. Not to mention in China, many Hollywood stars will prepare in advance for the film.

For example, in order to film "John Wick", Keanu Reeves started training in judo and firearms four months in advance, and even learned drifting for the car racing scenes.

Tom Cruise started working and training for Mission: Impossible 6 a year in advance.

However, when it comes to "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the requirements are not that high, after all, it is a TV series.

I set aside a week for intensive study so that the actual shooting could go more smoothly.

After getting off the bus, we walked along a small path for about twenty minutes before arriving at the training ground.

"Oh, Zhang Yuan is here." Yang Tao, who was communicating with the staff on the side, saw Zhang Yuan coming and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"This place is quite remote." Zhang Yuan complained.

When the staff nearby saw Zhang Yuan speaking, they complained to the director, thinking that this guy was really unruly.

But Yang Tao didn't care at all. Instead, he said cheerfully, "You are still picky. I will arrange a special car for you, okay?"

"That's fine."

"Let's go play!" After saying that, Yang Tao led him to report to the crew with a smile.

Director Yang is usually quite serious, so how come he was so awkward when talking to this young man... The few people who wanted to complain about Zhang Yuan just now were now confused.

It seems that our relationship with Director Yang is not that high enough. Only if it were, we could talk to him in such a disrespectful way.

After signing in, getting the room card, and settling everything, Zhang Yuan followed the instructions and headed to an open space not far away.

That is where we will be training for the next week.

It is summer now, and when Zhang Yuan walks a few steps in the city he will break into a sweat.

But it’s different here. The Ming Tombs Reservoir is less than 100 meters away from the training ground. It’s located between several mountains and there is a large water system. Once the breeze comes, the heat will disappear completely.

When Zhang Yuan arrived, there were already several people gathered in the open space, many of whom were familiar faces.

The most eye-catching among them is a group of gorgeous young women.

Chen Zihan who plays Yin Li, Lin Jing who plays Ding Minjun, Zhan Xiaonan who plays Zhu Jiuzhen, Xiao Taohong who plays Ji Xiaofu, and of course, the second female lead, Gao Yuanyuan, who is surrounded by them and looks nervous.

What made the 03 version of “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber” so popular?

Jin Yong’s original work certainly has its audience base, but after so many years, the audience back then may have forgotten the plot and the characters, but they will never forget the stunning glimpse of the “Four Beauties in the Boat” in the summer of 03.

Until the first Hupu Goddess Election 13 years later, the first and second female actors of this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" won the first and second place.

What’s even more amazing is that Gao Yuanyuan has won the runner-up for four consecutive times. It is said that goddesses come and go, but Gao Yuanyuan remains forever.

If it hadn’t won the first place in the fifth session, it would have been the eternal runner-up.

However, the audience in 02 would certainly not have thought that their young people would become people of entertainment and deify a "Go girl" during the th Hupu Goddess Election.

The outrageousness of this matter is second only to the fact that "my elder brother F91" became the goddess of A station.

At least for now, everyone still adheres to very traditional aesthetics.

Zhang Yuan walked forward and saw a familiar figure.

"Hello, Brother Ma."

Looking back, this person is none other than "Mo Shenggu", Ma Dongyan, whom I met during the audition.

"Thanks for your good wishes, we finally meet on the set." When Ma Dongyan saw that it was him, he immediately gave him a bear hug.

[Received thanks from Ma Dongyan, physical strength +3! ]

The last time Zhang Yuan said goodbye to him, he said "see you on the crew". When he successfully got the role, in addition to his joy, the first person he thought of was Zhang Yuan.

People are like this sometimes. One word can make an enemy, and one word can make a friend.

In addition to Ma Dongyan, Sun Bin, who played Chen Youliang, and Fu Heng, who played Chang Yuchun, were also present. The three of them stood quietly near several actresses.

I just came to the crew and I don’t know anyone.

Besides, these actresses are so beautiful, and they are all pretending to be gentlemen, trying to leave a good impression on each other.

Zhang Yuan glanced at these people and thought that it was useless to pretend well, as his eyes were almost buried in other people's long legs.

"Are you... Zhang Yuan?" He was chatting with Ma Dongyan when a gentle female voice interrupted their conversation.

Zhang Yuan turned around and saw Chen Zihan, who was wearing a black long dress and a ponytail.

"It's me, Sister Zi Han, do you know me?"

Chen Zihan was born in 75 and was already 02 years old in 28.

But when Zhang Yuan looked her up and down, who would believe that she was nearly 30 years old? She was probably in her early twenties at most.

"Someone asked me to take care of you." Chen Zihan waved at him with a smile: "Come here, I'll introduce you to everyone."

Who is this person who asked for help?

Chen Kun.

Chen Zihan, class of 94, together with Jin Qiaoqiao and Jiang Qinqin, are collectively known as the three golden flowers of Beijing Film Academy.

Chen Kun is from Class 96, and this is his senior sister.

Both of them are from Chongqing and live not far from each other, so they are very familiar with each other.

Yesterday, Chen Kun had dinner with a group of friends from Beijing Film Academy. Chen Zihan was present and they talked about the new film set he was going to the next day.

After the two checked the accounts, Kun Kun discovered that Zhang Yuan was also in the crew, so he asked his senior sister for help.

"He is a good brother." Chen Kun was grateful for what happened at the airport and asked his senior sister for help very seriously.

Chen Zihan took his junior's words seriously and performed his duties conscientiously.

"This is Sister Taohong."

"'Sunny Days', 'Dark Eyes', 'Brave New World', 'The Legend of the White Snake'..." Zhang Yuan immediately listed the other party's masterpieces.

"Oh, you've seen them all?" Xiao Taohong was very surprised. The other things were fine, but not many people knew about these two niche art films.

"Of course." Zhang Yuan replied immediately... Although when watching "Sunny Days", his eyes were on Ning Jing's chest... No, on her body.

"This is Lin Jing, just call her Jingjing."

"Mystery in Kyoto, The Invincible County Magistrate, and Lü Buwei, the Hero in Troubled Times." Zhang Yuan also reported the works of "Ding Minjun".

Lin Jing was very surprised. She had acted in many films, but they were all minor supporting roles, but she could remember this person.

Of course Zhang Yuan remembered it, but when watching "Lü Buwei, the Hero of Troubled Times", his attention was still on Ning Jing.

"This is Yuanyuan."

"Love Spicy Hot Pot", "Lost in the North", "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle"..."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded curiously, and smiled at Zhang Yuan when he told her his famous work.

A colorful sedan chair carried by everyone shows an attitude of "long-admired but not seen" which can quickly narrow the distance.

Zhang Yuan's move left a deep impression on these people at first sight. Plus with Chen Zihan's relationship, they soon pulled Zhang Yuan aside to ask him questions and they became friends.

The three old bachelors behind me looked at each other.

Look at Zhang Yuan again.

Nima!

The three of us have been standing here for a long time. Apart from greeting us, these beauties also paid no attention to us.

Why did this guy blend into the crowd, talking and laughing as soon as he arrived?

Is it that we open it in the wrong way?
【envious】

Clap, clap, a few slapping sounds were heard at the right time, and Ma Yuchen came in front of everyone.

He talked about the plans for the next few days and quickly got to the point.

"Today I will teach you the basic boxing and kicking stances, and in a few days I will teach you swordplay."

"Everyone should study hard and practice diligently after returning to the hotel. We are very short on time."

After that, he asked everyone to line up in rows and start training.

However, Zhang Yuan discovered a problem at this time.

That is, among the people who were training, there was not a single actor from Hong Kong or Taiwan...
