Chapter 88 Panic but not chaos

In the horse farm.

A flying stone hit the buttocks of the chestnut mare under Zhang Yuan's crotch.

Before Zhang Yuan noticed, he heard the horse let out a strange cry!

Then he raised his hooves, exerted force with his four legs, and both the man and the horse flew out like an arrow, running wildly on the mud.

No one around was able to react. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan was already dozens of steps away from the main group, with clouds of dust rising behind him.

Only the equestrian coach reacted quickly. He reached out and tried to grab the reins the moment the horse made a strange cry.

But after all, it was a step too late.

"Not good!" Zhao Jian shouted, and Yuan Bing beside him also widened his eyes!
Riding a horse is different from riding a bike.

A novice may fall when riding a bicycle, but as soon as he lets go, the throttle will stop and the fall will not be serious.

As with cycling and swimming, those who get into big trouble are the experienced ones.

But horses are different. They are still animals after all!

When it gets angry, it doesn't care about people's feelings.

Experienced riders also know how to deal with it and can slowly bring the horse to a stop.

If you are a complete novice, that's fine too, just leave it to fate.

Having no idea at all, he would just lie on the horse's back and wait for someone to rescue him.

But half-understanding will cause trouble.

But Zhang Yuan and his friends had just completed the basic training and were still halfway familiar with it!
"It's broken!" Despair flashed in the coach's eyes.

"When I was teaching just now, I taught several actors the technique to stop the horses."

“Pulling in the reins does slow a trained horse down… but!”

“This is an operation under normal circumstances.”

“It works well when the horse is under control and cantering at a steady pace.”

"But if you pull the reins after a horse has bolted or spooked, it will just stop and raise its front legs."

“If you have experience and skills, you can make the horse leap or roll forward.”

"But a novice must use all his strength to pull the reins, and the effect is like suddenly pulling the mechanical handbrake of a car after it has traveled 80 kilometers."

Thinking of this, the coach ran wildly.

"There are only two possible outcomes."

"The horse fell and the rider was pinned under him."

"The horse leaped and the rider was thrown off his horse."

No matter what the outcome, the lightest result is broken bones and tendons. If you are unlucky, your internal organs will be crushed, or your head will be stepped on by the horse's hoof, then...

Not only the coach, but also Zhao Jian and Yuan Bing were furious.

The lead actor was seriously injured before filming even started. Not to mention how furious Zhang Da Huzi would be, even from the perspective of colleagues, they both extremely did not want this to happen.

Zhao Jian wanted to rush forward to stop the horse, but was grabbed by Yuan Bing.

"No!"

"The horse is already frightened. If you go there, not only will you be in danger, but it may also further arouse the horse's bestiality and harm Zhang Yuan."

"What should I do?"

"We can only rely on luck." Yuan Bing's face was as gloomy as water, and he thought that Zhang Yuan was in great danger this time.

Look at Zhang Yuan on horseback again.

It was not until the horse had galloped for dozens of meters that he reacted. His heart rate soared and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Although he can ride a bicycle, he can't ride a motorcycle. Besides, riding a motorcycle and riding a horse are two different things.

I just felt the horse under me rushing forward like crazy, running for its life along the edge of the horse farm.

He suppressed the confusion in his heart, took a few deep breaths amidst the violent shaking, and regained his rationality.

"Luckily I learned some basic horsemanship from Mr. Hu at noon, otherwise today would be ruined!"

He did not tighten the reins as the coach expected. Instead, he clenched his hands and tightened and loosened them, moving back and forth in rhythm with the horse's running.

A horse is like a woman, and riding one requires that the rhythm of both be matched and coordinated with each other.

These basic attributes don't allow him to perform well.

But combined with his previous martial arts attributes and kung fu training, he was able to survive.

Use your legs to squeeze the horse's belly.

Chinese Kung Fu emphasizes that power comes from the ground. When the leg skills are practiced to the essence, one can take root in the ground and remain unmoved even if strong winds blow against one's face.

The leg techniques of the Shaolin Yin-Yang Stick emphasize stability. After all, it is a martial art that evolved from marching and fighting.

The leg skills of the Natural Gate emphasize agility.

The so-called agility is a skill to quickly adjust the center of gravity.

At this time, Zhang Yuan combined the two techniques, making his legs seem to be welded to the horse's body. At the same time, he constantly adjusted his center of gravity as the horse's center of gravity shifted when running.

Zhang Yuan's synchronization rate with the chestnut mare is improving.

At the same time, he leaned back and put his entire weight behind the horse, assuming a half-lying posture.

As a result, the center of gravity of the entire horse has also changed.

After all, this chestnut mare had been trained since childhood and had a gentle temperament. She was just frightened.

After running a few laps, he gradually regained his rationality.

Feeling the pressure from the abdomen and the center of gravity sinking backwards, the horse instinctively began to slow down.

Tap, tap, tap…

After another half circle, the horse gradually entered a fast walk. After more than ten seconds, Zhang Yuan saw that the time was ripe and straightened up.

Then he pulled hard on the reins.

The chestnut mare snorted a few times, shook her head vigorously, and then stopped steadily.

"Whoa..." Zhang Yuan steadied the horse and then got off.

"Coach." Zhang Yuan handed the reins to the coach who was sweating profusely and walking forward quickly.

The other party's lips were pale and his hands were shaking: "Are you okay?"

"It's a little bit crotch-rubbing, but otherwise fine."

The coach then let out a long sigh, which was louder than the horse's snort. At this moment, the other actors and the two brothers Zhao Jian and Yuan Bing also rushed to him, all with pale faces. On the contrary, he, as the person involved, had recovered, as if the thrilling scene just now had not happened.

"Brother Yuan, are you okay?" Shu Chang's legs were shaking and he was almost scared to tears.

Liu Qianqian came to Zhang Yuan's horse, put her hands on her hips, glared at the chestnut mare and bared her teeth at it.

"Bad horse, don't bully Zhang Yuan!"

The chestnut mare showed an innocent look, thinking, "What did I do to deserve a slap on the butt?"

Chen Hao and Gao Hu looked him up and down, fearing that he might be missing some limbs.

Hu Jun and Liu Tao also rushed over, their faces filled with shame.

"Brother, this..."

He was trying to show off by taking Liu Tao for a gallop and almost made a big mistake. The dark-faced man Hu Jun shrank his neck and was a head shorter than Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Jun, why don't you teach me how to ride a horse later?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuan took the initiative to give the way out, Hu Jun immediately took it.

"We guarantee to teach you until you learn it. We are at your service anytime!"

[Received thanks from Hu Jun, Horsemanship Basics +3, Motorcycle Basics +2, Acting Skills +1! ]

Okay, since you've caused me trouble, it's not too much for me to take some of your attributes.

Zhang Yuan has already made plans. On the next training day, he will make this guy bald.

"Zhang Yuan, you looked so handsome just now." Liu Tao covered his chest, obviously still in shock.

But at the same time, I also became interested in this colleague who was not very familiar to me.

"He's quite handsome, but he almost scared us to death." Chen Hao gave Liu Tao and Hu Jun a reproachful look.

"Mr. Zhang Yuan, you are the most talented student I have ever seen in my coaching career." The coach continued Chen Hao's words and praised.

"It only took half an hour of learning to successfully save yourself."

"Based on the situation just now, even after three months of training, the trainees may not be able to escape unscathed."

After the coach said this, everyone felt that Zhang Yuan was even more amazing.

Everyone was just getting started, but he was able to deal with this emergency calmly. Several people asked themselves, if it were them, they would have been scared to death.

"Be calm and rational. If you are willing, you can become an equestrian master." Although the coach's words were meant as compliments, they were not nonsense.

Then the coach pulled him aside and whispered.

"Mr. Zhang Yuan, what happened today..." The coach pleaded, "Can you keep it a secret? Don't let our CEO Hu know. Otherwise, my job will be in jeopardy..."

"I understand. It's not your fault. Keep it a secret."

"Thank you!"

[Received thanks from Jiang Jun, Horsemanship Basics +3, Horsemanship Skills +2! ]

Mr. Hu had taken special care of Zhang Yuan before he came. The coach knew that he knew his boss and had just had lunch.

"Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, I want to learn that move you just made." After scolding Ma, Liu Qianqian came to him excitedly.

You are so careless. I almost got screwed just now, and I am still teaching you.

But he still said in a friendly manner: "Okay, I'll teach you once you've mastered the basics."

"Uh-huh."

"Let's continue training first."

"Are you getting on the horse now?" Chen Hao covered his mouth in surprise. Having just experienced a catastrophe, no one would have a crooked mouth even if they had to recuperate for a few days.

"Nothing happened."

Yuan Bing heard this and nodded continuously.

Zhang Yuan's behavior reminded him of his senior brother.

That senior brother broke his leg in the morning and started working in the afternoon. He fell from a building in the morning and started working on the spot.

As long as he could move, he continued to shoot, and with his ruthlessness and natural strength, he made a name for himself.

This senior brother is Jackie Chan.

"He has the tenacity of the older generation of actors, and that kind of quality is becoming increasingly rare these days."

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Yuan used some clever tricks when he stopped his horse just now, it seemed like kung fu." Zhao Jian asked Yuan Bing.

"Yes, he has leg skills. If he hadn't had those skills, he would have been thrown off the horse."

Yuan Bing also found it miraculous: "The Kung Fu he practiced was originally a practical one. He was able to remain unscathed in such a panic, thanks to his solid foundation."

"Is there anyone this amazing among the younger generation in Hong Kong?"

"not much."

“Not many on the mainland.”

"What's even more rare is his mentality. He doesn't have the impatience and arrogance of a young warrior. This mentality will allow him to go further in martial arts."

"Old Zhang must have picked up a treasure, so he only gave me such a small amount of money, hehe." Zhao Jian thought his boss was stingy.

There would be a chance to sell more favors... Yuan Bin thought. He had seen countless people in the film and television industry, and after several contacts, he felt that Zhang Yuan was someone who could accomplish great things.

In the following days, everyone discovered that Zhang Yuan had made rapid progress in equestrianism!
The purpose of a week of training is to enable the leading actors to keep the horses moving forward while performing with a normal expression and speaking their lines steadily on horseback.

After all, when people panic, their breathing becomes disordered.

If your breathing is disordered, not only will your lines be poorly delivered, but your performance will also be affected.

Several girls work very hard. After all, they are professional actors and their professionalism is guaranteed.

But the horse that was still in a fast-walking state was still under control. It didn't dare to run wildly, and the crew wouldn't let it because they were afraid it would get hurt.

Zhang Yuan is different. Although he does not have the superb horsemanship of Hu Jun, he cannot perform difficult moves such as jumping over obstacles and playing polo.

But he was able to control the horse to run freely.

Hu Jun was frightened, as he had practiced for several years to reach this level.

He learns so fast!

If we give him another month, maybe he will be able to catch up with me.

Yuan Bing held Zhao Jian aside and watched everything with a smile.

"I discovered another specialty of this kid."
