"Can you go any slower?"

Outside the Xiaotangshan Film Studio, Zhang Yuan led Wu Jing, who came to visit the set, around the security booth.

"The Banquet" is a big drama, so of course it has to have strict security, otherwise the fanatical fans coming to chase the stars will affect the filming.

You can't stand it even if someone takes advantage of the situation to steal props.

Especially for this kind of costume drama, although the props have low economic value, they are very expensive, and once they are lost, the time required to replace them is the most precious.

However, it is difficult to guard against thieves within the family. I am not afraid of outsiders, but I am afraid of people from the crew trying to take advantage of me.

When the Marvel series of movies were being filmed, the leading actors would often steal things from the set.

Brother Hammer took away five hammers.

Captain America took the shield and the hat back home.

Star-Lord hid his costume leather jacket in his suitcase.

Downey was the most outrageous. He carried the A-shaped prop sign on the roof of the Avengers Building back home.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

Zhang Yuan has this "skill".

But since there were security checks at his stand every day, he temporarily gave up the idea.

When the filming is finished one day, he plans to take some of the armor and prop swords from the play home.

how!

They only gave me 2 million as salary, and they are so stingy that they don’t even allow me to make up for my losses.

Bring Wu Jing, who arrived late, to the crew.

Zhang Yuan hooked his shoulders and patted him hard a few times.

"Of course. I went to Hong Kong and ate light food but didn't lose weight."

"grass!"

Unexpectedly, this person looked painful.

"What's the matter...I haven't practiced the Vajra Palm?" Zhang Yuan was frightened by his expression.

"It's not you. The internal injuries I suffered while filming a few months ago haven't healed yet." Wu Jing gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

The play he was talking about was "SPL".

In that film, he was filming a fight scene with Zhen Zidan, and he ended up breaking five sticks in one scene and was kicked more than five hundred times in total.

The opponent hit me in the ribs with a stick and it hasn't healed yet.

It’s not that Zhen Zidan bullies Wu Jing, a mainlander.

After all, the movie "SPL" was recommended by Sammo Hung to Wu Jing, and no one dared to bully him in front of the big brother.

Zhen Zidan is just a pure colored pen, his skills are not up to par and his strength control is poor.

Not only did he injure Wu Jing, he also injured Hong Jinbao.

"She said she was my junior sister, but she refused to admit it..." Wu Jing complained.

He was talking about the time when Zhen Zidan came to the Imperial Capital Martial Arts School to study, but because his level was too poor, his teacher arranged him to train with the women's team.

Zhen Zidan will feel brooding over that incident for the rest of his life.

Although his performance in "SPL" was good, it was really miserable for a kung fu boy from the mainland to only play supporting villains for Hong Kong people when he came to Hong Kong.

How could those film companies in Hong Kong support mainlanders for no reason?

Li Lianjie had the support of the Xiang family, Zhao Wenzhuo had Anita Mui to guide him, but Wu Jing obviously did not have the background of those two.

It is obviously not feasible for him to follow the villain route that made Zhao Wenzhuo famous for his role as "Nine-Gates Admiral Ordo".

Besides, kung fu movies are not popular nowadays. The quality of "SPL" is actually quite good, but its box office is still very dismal.

"I have already signed the contract with Modou TV." Wu Jing said as he walked.

He came here specially today, just like Zhang Jingying did before, to thank him for helping to recommend her to the show.

Because he wasn't doing well in Hong Kong, he was deeply touched that an old friend suddenly thought of him.

Moreover, in the last reality show in mainland China, not only was the schedule shorter than filming a movie, but the income was also higher than filming a drama.

This made him increasingly doubt whether it was wise to develop in Hong Kong.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show my face." Wu Jing thanked him very seriously.

The two haven't met each other since they finished filming "A Chinese Ghost Story". They met today. They are both open-minded people and their feelings for each other have not faded.

"They are all trivial matters. By the way." Zhang Yuan said casually, "I have recently started investing in movies and TV series myself. If there is a chance, I will ask you to act in them."

"If you have good plays and ideas, you can also find me."

"Really?" Wu Jing had always wanted to be a director, especially when he saw the Chinese action film market was so bleak, he often tossed and turned in his sleep at midnight.

I don’t want to be the leading actor in those crappy movies. If I want to make a movie, I’ll make it myself and act in it myself!
Others say this, especially at the dinner table.

"You make the movie, and I'll invest!"

Most of them are just farts, and people will deny them when they sober up.

But Wu Jing knew that his brother was no joking man.

Especially since I just got a job introduced to me, even if they wanted to cheat me, they wouldn't go to such lengths.

Besides, I'm single, so there's nothing to cheat me of.

"You're not attracted to me, are you?" Wu Jing suddenly struck a very seductive pose.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yuan suddenly recalled that he was Xuan Xuan's stunt double in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and wore women's clothing.

Don’t tell me, don’t tell me...it’s quite disgusting.

"Fuck you!" Zhang Yuan raised his head and gave a JIO!

The two of them played around and ran to the shooting site.

When he arrived at the scene, Wu Jing felt that Zhang Yuan was a very considerate brother.

He was taken to greet all the important people on the set one by one.

From Feng Xiaogang to Zhang Li.

Then to Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Ma Jingwu...

It was not just a formality, but a serious introduction, as if selling a product.

[Received thanks from Wu Jing, Spear Skills Basics +1, Boxing Skills Basics +1! ]

"I see you seem to be very familiar with them." Wu Jing seemed to have discovered something.

"How can a crew not be familiar with each other?"

"That was not what I meant."

Wu Jing discovered that everyone was very polite and even enthusiastic towards his brothers.

Especially for Feng Xiaogang, who has the highest status, Zhang Li gave him special face.

On the contrary, Huang Xiaoming, who was of relatively lower status, treated my buddy in a neutral manner and his smile sounded a bit fake.

Wu Jing recalled the past.

At that time, they both played supporting roles in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and served as temporary stunt doubles together.

Zhang Yuan went back and forth and finally got himself more roles, but he was still not as good as the male lead Chen Xiaodong.

But now it's completely different.

Huang Xiaoming is a leading man in TV dramas, but he plays a supporting role to my brother in the movie.

It has only been two or three years, and Zhang Yuan is able to star in Feng Xiaogang's films and act opposite Zhang Ziyi. His progress is so fast!

Looking at myself...Alas!

Wu exclaimed in amazement, it is really Wang Xiaoer’s New Year that is getting worse every year!
"I guess I can only beat him in fighting scenes now."

"He's far behind in other areas."

Thinking about it this way, he would be even more grateful that Zhang Yuan didn't forget his old brother. After all, in the entertainment industry, it is normal to put down the weak and praise the strong, and to treat people differently according to their needs. True friendships are rarer than virgins.

It just so happened that Zhang Yuan’s part happened next.

Wu Jing hid in the corner and watched.

He was also curious about how much progress his buddy had made to be able to do so well.

Today's scene is one of Zhang Yuan's two important fighting scenes in the "Night Banquet" crew.

The Emperor and the Empress watched the princes and the Imperial Guards perform swordplay with wooden swords.

In reality, the emperor had hidden a real sword on a nearby beam, and when the duel began, a killer would switch it and use it to take his life.

The emperor knew that he had murdered his brother and usurped the throne, and that his access to the throne was not legitimate.

Moreover, according to ancient etiquette, when the emperor dies, the crown prince should succeed to the throne. How could it be the turn of you, the emperor's brother?

Zhao Guangyi had been accused of usurping the throne for more than a thousand years because of the candlelight and axe sound.

In this scene, Zhang Yuan had to perform one-on-one against more than a dozen people, and he had to perform with the help of wires, which was quite difficult.

At this moment, wearing a dark blue robe and a wig with his hair gathered into a clump on top of his head, Zhang Yuan came to the set holding a sword.

"Damn, is having good looks such a big advantage?" Wu Jing said softly.

After getting dressed like this, Zhang Yuan looked very energetic, tight and neat, and extremely handsome.

As soon as the camera turned on, Wu Jing felt something was wrong.

Wow!
According to the moves he had prepared in advance, Zhang Yuan turned around to block the two attacking wooden swords, then did a somersault, swung the hem of his robe, turned 360 degrees in the air, and supported himself on the ground with one hand.

Then he exerted force again, supported his body with one hand, turned 360 degrees, stood up again, and took the next sword.

In this way, a set of movements is completed.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The turn is not difficult, after all, there is a wire to help. After the cut, Zhang Ziyi and Ge Da Ye, who were acting in the distance, applauded.

"What a cool move!"

“The twist is so cool!”

But Wu Jing is different from them.

What he saw were Zhang Yuan's small movements to adjust his body when he landed and stood up.

"How come his physical coordination has improved so much!"

He and Zhang Yuan have fought against each other before.

At that time, Zhang Yuan used a trick. He let Huang Julong consume his strength first, and then took action to deal with him. With the advantage of terrain, Wu Jing made a counterattack and was finally defeated.

So even though Wu Jing was defeated, he was confident that he still had an overwhelming advantage in martial arts.

But it has only been a few years since we last met, and why does it feel like his skills have become so much more powerful?

clap clap clap...

Zhang Yuan fought with swordsmen who were dressed in black armor.

The action was designed by Yuan Jiaban.

Ba Ye was listed as the producer, but the action scenes were handled by his two younger brothers Yuan Xinyi and Yuan Xiangren.

Zhang Yuan knew these two, especially Yuan Xiangren. He played the old beggar who cheated children in Kung Fu and was also a martial arts director, so it was not their first collaboration.

When designing the action scenes, the Yuan family team made adjustments based on the moves he was good at.

Now Wu Jing took a look at the sword moves he used. They were sharp and fierce, moving like the wind and extremely powerful.

He immediately discovered that Zhang Yuan's swordsmanship had also improved a lot.

"How did he learn it?" Wu Jing frowned speechlessly.

Just now I was thinking that at least I could beat the other person in terms of kung fu.

It is not clear at the moment whether they actually fought each other, but judging from the fighting effects, the opponent is no less powerful than him.

Even because of the style, Zhang Yuan may even be better in terms of the results.

Although she mocked Zhen Zidan and called her Junior Sister, the one who was actually called Junior Sister was Wu Jing herself.

Because of his soft body, his fighting movements are particularly enchanting.

In the eyes of the audience, Zhang Yuan's vigorous fighting scenes are definitely more exciting!

No way!
His appearance is already better than mine, and now he can even compete with me in fighting scenes.

Then I have also been involved in woolen yarn... That's right, they are better at it than me.

Wu Jing thought about it and thought that the only thing he could do to control Zhang Yuan was his drinking ability.

"And why do his movements look so familiar to me?" Wu Jing wondered.

For a whole day, Zhang Yuan was hanging on wires to shoot the action scenes and had almost no rest except for lunch.

When he finished work at around six in the evening, Zhang Yuan was still full of energy except for a little soreness in his arms and legs.

This made Wu Jing, who was injured and paralyzed when he was young, envious...

Of course, Zhang Ziyi was also envious, but the direction of her envy might be somewhat different from Wu Jing's.

"No wonder Li Zi said she could toss and turn all night long..."

"You have such good physical strength and your muscles are in good shape!" Wu Jing sighed, touching his arm.

"With such strength and bones, if he had started practicing martial arts a decade earlier, he would have become a national champion."

"I don't have your talent at all," Zhang Yuan said modestly.

"As for me, well, let's not talk about it."

"My whole body aches when it rains, and my back pain often relapses." Wu Jing often complained about the unfairness of life. He worked so hard, but it seemed like he had nothing left except injuries.

If I could train like Wu Jing, it would be fine if I got injured.

But Zhang Yuan didn't understand why Xiang Zuo damaged his kidneys by doing that.

"Zhang Yuan." Feng Xiaogang stopped him when the performance was about to end.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."

"Going to other places to shoot?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, he didn't receive any notice.

"No." Director Feng grinned, "Andy and Bingbing are filming The Warring States on the next set."

"It was also invested by Huayi."

"The two families visited each other and asked reporters to take pictures for publicity."

"I understand." Zhang Yuan understood immediately.

Support each other, and visiting the set is often also a means of publicity.

The filming location of “The Warring States” is also near Xiaotangshan.

Similar to "The Banquet", a city was also built.

The two film studios are about ten kilometers apart, which is not too far.

It's in the suburbs, so it probably takes less than an hour to drive there.

Feng Xiaogang had some considerations when he asked him to go.

Zhang Ziyi is a big shot and is unwilling to do any work that is not written in the contract.

Uncle Ge was too lazy to move around.

Huang Xiaoming is not familiar with Hua Ge and Fan Bingbing.

All in all, he is the only one who is familiar with these two. After all, he has filmed "Cell Phone" and "A World Without Thieves", and can be said to have worked with both of them in Hua Yi's works.

I had dinner with Wu Jing and we both drank a lot.

Zhang Yuan discovered that Wu Jing seemed to always want to surpass him in drinking.

"Hey, I have something to do tomorrow, so I have to get up early."

"Oh... that's fine." Wu Jing stopped drinking and said, "I'll walk by myself later. You don't have to see me off."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yuan replied, "Stay in my room tonight, we can sleep together."

"You still say you like me?" Wu Jing once again put on a seductive gesture.

Zhang Yuan: …

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll go to 'The Warring States' tomorrow and take you to meet Brother Hua and Fan Bingbing."

Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Zhang Yuan was doing the same thing as he did during the day, intending to introduce him to more friends in the circle.

After all, many friends lead to many paths.

So interesting!

[Received thanks from Wu Jing, Tai Chi Basics +1, Tai Chi Sword Basics +1! ]

"I will serve you well tonight." Wu Jing said with her orchid finger and threw him a coquettish look.

Hiss...Zhang Yuan trembled all over and got goose bumps when he saw this.

Or I can give my room to him and squeeze in with Zhao Xunxun.

I'm a little scared... He's so sexy.

After returning to the room, I chatted with Wu Jing for most of the night, and we both talked about our experiences in the past few years.

After Wu Jing heard about Zhang Yuan's work on the set of "Little Fish and Flower", he sighed in his heart.

The Hong Kong circle is indeed arrogant. I have always been suppressed in the circle. Will I ever be able to stand out?
Zhang Yuan said everything very positive, but when it came to Wu Jing, apart from getting injured, he went to auditions everywhere and encountered setbacks everywhere.

Even with Hong Jinbao's protection, it is only enough to make a living. It is difficult to become famous!
The two grown men spent the night lying on the double bed with their legs spread out.

Zhang Yuan had never expected that after joining the crew of "Night Banquet", the first person he would sleep with was Wu Jing...

Early the next morning, he took Wu Jing and went to the crew of "The Warring States".

Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbing, and the crew director Zhang Zhiliang went out of the city to welcome them.

"Hello, Director Zhang."

"Hua brother!"

"Bingbing!"

Liu Dehua took the initiative to hug him and patted his back several times.

"I have already recorded the theme song for the film." Brother Hua talked about what Zhang Yuan had asked him to do before.

"Great, after the movie is scheduled, we can schedule a time to go on the roadshow together..." Zhang Yuan turned around and looked at Fan Bingbing: "You have to come too."

"Announcement fee?" Fan Bingbing stretched out his hand.

"You won't lose this eighty cents."

"You're only worth eighty cents!" Fan Bingbing knew that the other party was teasing him, so he smiled and patted his shoulder.

Wu Jing was shocked as he listened.

When he said he was investing in film and television, I thought it was just a small thing.

Why are these two involved?
With the two of them around, is this still just a small fight?
"The Warring States" invested 1600 million US dollars, and only then did they find them to be the leading actors.

I introduced Wu Jing to Brother Hua and Bingbing. He is well-known all over the country, but he has had bad luck in recent years.

But in essence, everyone is from the same circle, and Hua Ge and Bingbing are both people who know how to deal with things, so they quickly became familiar with each other.

They walked towards the set together, and there would be scenes of presenting flowers and gifts, but they were all staged.

After he gave out the gifts, Brother Hua would personally cook for everyone who came to visit the set, as a sign of reciprocity.

As they walked, Fan Bingbing moved closer to him.

Fatty Fan slyly winked at him: "You came at the right time. I need your help with something..." (End of this chapter)
