Chapter 66 Expert advice
Su Youpeng is considered a top student in the entertainment industry. When he saw Zhang Yuan mentioned the book "Zhuangzi", he looked at him in confusion.

"What does Zhuangzi have to do with this play?"

He has read many books, but few of these ancient books.

"In the book Zhuangzi, there is a story in the chapter called The Great Master."

Zhang Yuan said word by word.

When old man Yu Wenzhong, who was standing nearby, heard the word "Zhuangzi", he, who was stretching his arms to relax, took a few steps towards the two of them.

Has this young man also studied Laozi and Zhuangzi?

"Confucius had a disciple named Yan Hui."

"There is a saying that goes 'Peng Zu lived a long life, while Yan Hui died young', which refers to this person."

"Once, Yan Hui found Confucius and said that he had made progress."

"Confucius asked him, how did you make progress?"

"I have forgotten benevolence and righteousness..." Yan Hui replied.

“Confucius said it was good, but he said it was not enough.”

"After a while, Yan Hui found his teacher again and said that he had made progress again, this time forgetting the rituals and music."

“Confucius said it was good, but he said it was still not enough.”

After hearing this, Su Youpeng gradually sat up straight.

Yu Wenzhong on the side quietly sat down and listened with a smile.

"After a long time, Yan Hui returned to his teacher and said that he had made progress again."

"This time he's 'forgetting'."

"This time even Confucius was surprised and asked Yan Hui what 'sitting and forgetting' was."

“I have abandoned my strong limbs, my keen hearing and vision, and my wisdom, becoming one with the Great Dao, forgetting both myself and the world.”

“This is ‘sitting and forgetting.’”

Su Youpeng suddenly realized: "This passage is exactly the same as Zhang Sanfeng teaching Tai Chi sword in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

“Yes, Mr. Jin referred to Zhuangzi when he wrote this passage.”

"Why is it that forgetting the moves is the true learning of Tai Chi sword? Because the process of forgetting is called 'sitting and forgetting'."

"It is also a process of integration with the great way of martial arts."

In a sense, Zhang Sanfeng has transcended the scope of martial arts and is more like a cultivator of immortality.

The strongest characters in Jin Yong's universe are "a monk", "a Taoist priest" and "a demon". After writing "The Sword of Yue Girl", he can also add "a sword" of Ah Qing.

The "one way" here refers to Zhang Sanfeng.

This old man, who is at the top of the fighting power, is more like a Taoist than a knight.

His martial arts are not just fighting skills, but the truth.

"The Way of Zuowang... I seem to understand it a little bit." Su Youpeng patted his forehead.

"What Zhang Wuji forgot was the moves, but what he remembered was Grandmaster Zhang's martial arts."

Su Youpeng deduced over and over again for a while, and gradually he had a rough idea in his mind.

"Zhang Yuan, thank you so much. As expected, I understand now after you step out of the play."

[Received thanks from Su Youpeng, learning ability +3, singing foundation +2, dancing foundation +3! ]

Su Youpeng stood up excitedly, paced back and forth, and picked up a small mirror to observe and practice his own expressions.

A top student is smart and can understand things at a glance... Zhang Yuan was amazed that Su Youpeng's talent was also top-notch.

"Your name is Zhang Yuan, right?"

Hearing someone calling him, Zhang Yuan turned around and nodded vigorously to show respect.

"Teacher Yu, it's me."

Yu Wenzhong nodded with a smile.

It is rare to be able to interpret the script to this extent at this age, combining both the inside and outside of the play.

The old man is very dedicated. He read the "Tao Te Ching" carefully before filming in order to get closer to the character.

He thought that only people of his generation would do this, but he unexpectedly discovered a knowledgeable young man on the set and immediately took a liking to him.

"The 'Zuowang Dao' you just mentioned is very interesting."

The old man pounded his legs and said, "Only by forgetting all the techniques and rules can you understand the true meaning of things."

“It’s the same for us actors.”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately stood up straight and respectfully.

The old man is giving me some advice!
"I've acted opposite you before, you can act, but if you want to go further, you have to do some subtraction."

Mr. Yu remained calm and analyzed Zhang Yuan's previous role during the half-hour break.

Zhang Yuan broke out in a sweat upon hearing this.

Some of the scenes that he thought he performed well were criticized by the old man as being full of holes.

This reminded him of what Duan Yihong said in an interview when he talked about Wang Baoqiang.

"The problem with professional actors is that they are too good at acting and want to act too much, and they wish they could smoke eighteen different cigarettes."

"I can do it with ease in just one state. Doesn't that leave you far behind?"

Indeed, when it comes to smoking, who can smoke better than Wang Baoqiang in "Mr. Tree"?

Not only Wang Baoqiang, but Zhao Benshan's eating scenes are also similar in nature, which is natural.

"Thank you Mr. Yu for your advice!"

Hearing Lai Shuiqing shout that the break was over, the old man patted him on the shoulder, stood up and left.

Zhang Yuan bowed meticulously to express his gratitude.

This half hour is priceless!
Zhang Yuan asked the stage manager for a notebook and quickly wrote down the content of the conversation, intending to take it back and think about it over again.

The old man's level is much higher than mine, and this cannot be figured out in a short time.

After the old man's guidance, he thought of the four swords of Dugu Qiubai in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He should have just reached the level of the first "nameless sword".

As for Wang Baoqiang in the later film "Mr. Tree", he may have reached the state of "a heavy sword without an edge, great skill without effort".

Of course, some geniuses may skip the first two steps directly.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan pondered the old man's words during the day, and went to Shi Xiaolong to learn martial arts secretly at night.

His temperament has become much calmer, but he also talks less.

"Zhang Yuan seems to be a little abnormal recently." During lunch, Gao Yuanyuan saw Zhang Yuan looking for a quiet place to memorize his lines, so she put down her chopsticks and started chatting with Alyssa Chia and Lin Jing.

"Indeed, it's a lot more boring." Lin Jing was always thoughtful: "It seems like he's worried."

"I've already apologized sincerely, is he still angry?" Gao Yuanyuan frowned and held her chin.

"Zhang Yuan is not that stingy." Su Youpeng stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth. "But the day before yesterday, when I was taking a walk at night, I found that he was walking alone to the back mountain."

"Ah, could it be that he is secretly dating someone!" Jia Jingwen's eyes lit up: "Meeting a beautiful woman at night, and in the wild, Zhang Yuan really knows how to have fun."

Gao Yuanyuan lost face on the spot.

There are so many women in this crew. There are more than ten young actresses from the Emei School alone, not to mention the others.

"How about we follow him at night and see what he is doing?" Alyssa Chia suggested immediately, as she was eager to watch the fun.

"I agree." Yuanyuan quickly raised her hand.

"Jingjing, you should go too."

"Sister Zihan, aren't you curious?"

Soon the "Junior Detective Team" was assembled.

Alyssa Chia pushed up her non-existent black-framed glasses and looked at her friend.

"I'm not going." Su Youpeng keeps himself clean and doesn't indulge in idle cravings.

Night, the crew is filming at the back mountain.

Alyssa Chia led the way, along with Gao Yuanyuan, Lin Jing, and Chen Zihan, and followed stealthily behind Zhang Yuan.

"He really went to the tunnel!" Jia Jingwen's current mischievous appearance is exactly the same as Zhao Min in the movie.

"This place looks so familiar... Isn't this where the Ming Cult secret passage scenes were filmed?"

“Hey, it seems to be here.”

As the scenes have been filmed, most of the lights in this natural tunnel have been removed, and only a few dim candle-like lights can guide everyone.

"Yuanyuan, it's so dark, I'm scared." Lin Jing's voice trembled and she didn't want to move forward.

"I'll support you and see what this kid Zhang Yuan does every day." Chen Zihan was bold and careful, and he stayed behind the others.

The tunnel is not long and it would take less than ten minutes to walk through it in the dark.

Soon, they saw a bright light, and after passing through it, they came to an open hillside.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Gao Yuanyuan exclaimed, but her mouth was quickly covered by Alyssa Chia.

"Shh, don't let Zhang Yuan hear it."

A few people looked into the distance and suddenly felt their minds broadened.

They could see most of the CP area from where they were. The lights of thousands of houses and the twinkling stars at night were breathtakingly beautiful.

"There's some movement over there..."

Alyssa Chia took the lead, crouching and hiding in the bushes, looking like she was ready to jump out and GANK Zhang Yuan at any time.

The men took their positions and pricked up their ears, then they heard two male voices panting and with disordered breathing.

"Hey!"

"what!"

"Strength!"

"Legs up."

"Bend lower."

"When you push the stick forward, you need to use your waist to exert force..."

Jia Jingwen: !!!

Gao Yuanyuan: ???

These four are all big-eyed beauties, and now their eyeballs are as big as pears!
"Zhang, Zhang Yuan comes out every day. Is he...fencing with someone?" Jia Jingwen's voice was trembling when she spoke.

She guessed it almost the same, except that she didn't use a sword.

Zhang Yuan was practicing Shaolin stick with Shi Xiaolong.

Two tears rolled down the corners of Gao Yuanyuan's eyes.

"It's over. I'm so mad at Zhang Yuan that I'm going crazy!"

Crying loudly.

Chen Zihan's expression on the side was also quite ugly.

She has a habit: she doesn't like rich people, talented people, or people who are smooth-talking.

I just love those who are younger than me!

This person is a veteran lover of sister-brother relationships.

"I was wondering if this brother is not interested in me. It turns out he doesn't like me."

"who!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan, who was shirtless and sweating profusely, noticed a hint of restlessness not far away, and immediately swung his bat and looked back.

He swung the wooden stick in his hand, and a stone was knocked away, heading straight towards the bushes where several people were hiding.

The four girls screamed in surprise, and stood up at the same time as if they had telepathy, and ran towards the tunnel behind them.

Zhang Yuan threw away his stick and chased after him...
