Studio, night.
Zhang Yuan really didn't expect that the "craft" he picked up and learned from Cao Shangfei would be put to use so quickly.
At this time, he was wearing a dirty white shirt with dirt and sweat stains all over it.
Wearing the same style of mid-length hair as Mr. Sing, if you look at the mid-shot and just look at the back, he is already 70% similar to Stephen Chow.
What is different about the remaining three points?
Star Master's official height is 17cm, and Zhang Yuan is almost 10 centimeters taller than him.
If he hadn't "tortured" himself recently and lost a lot of weight and body shape, it would have been difficult to achieve even a three-pointed figure.
Master Xing's figure is a whole circle smaller than him.
“Stuck!”
After taking the close-up shot of the face-off, Mr. Star slowly walked down from the temporary wooden platform built by the crew.
This shot shoots straight into his face, and a speeding ax will be added to the post-production special effects.
"Xiaolong, it's your turn in a moment, throw the ax and use some force."
Xing Ye took care of it.
Opposite, an Ax Gang member wearing a black suit nodded vigorously.
This man’s name is Ding Wenbin. Because he admired Bruce Lee, he named himself Ding Xiaolong.
According to the setting of the movie, there are four main characters in the Ax Gang.
In addition to the boss Chen Ge played by Zhang Yuan, there are also the master Frog Tian Qiwen, the second boss Fat Xue Lin Xue, and the top thug Ding Xiaolong.
It was also him who punched Fire Cloud Evil God later on.
Bruce Lee had two direct disciples, named Inosanto and Kimura Takemoto.
The two warriors from mainland China, Hao Gang and Chen Qiping, went to the oceans and became disciples of these two men, becoming Bruce Lee's second-generation disciples.
The two men also established an academic school called the International Bruce Lee Special Training Headquarters, specializing in teaching Jeet Kune Do, nunchaku and a series of martial arts that Bruce Lee was good at.
This Ding Xiaolong is a graduate of this school. In name, he is the fourth generation disciple of Bruce Lee.
Although the fourth generation disciple is in name only, this one has real skills.
It’s just that there are several experts in this crew, and he is nothing in comparison.
"Zhang Yuan, come here."
Before filming started, Lin Zicong, who played Fatty Cong, waved to him.
“Brother Cong, what’s the matter?”
This is Xinghui, a direct descendant of Master Xing.
Now he maintains the look he had in the early days of the play. He has not put on any clothes since he got a haircut in Jiang Bao's shop and planned to "shave his head."
How about we talk about the details of Mr. Xing.
At first, this man had two huge axes tattooed from his chest to his belly to pretend to be a member of the Ax Gang.
But everyone knows that these two are fake!
So when he was caught by the Ax Gang, the "tattoo" on his front had only a faint outline left.
Obviously it’s for strokes.
“I won’t be wearing my shirt for a while and I will be dropped on the shelf. Come and save me.”
"Yes, that's what this scene is about." Zhang Yuan listened carefully.
"Ding Xiaolong will throw an ax at me. Although it is a prop, I have no clothes on. It will hurt if he is thrown, so..." This man glanced at Zhang Yuan's hands: "You Is it fast enough?"
"I understand." Zhang Yuan understood. He was just afraid of being hit by the props: "I just need to cooperate as soon as possible."
The two said. After finishing, Zhang Yuan took the wire found by the executive director.
This wire is bent into an L shape.
"What is this?"
"A lock needle." said the executive director.
"A lock with this shape cannot be opened with this shape of iron wire." Zhang Yuan informed the other party clearly, and at the same time, he wound the iron wire around his finger to make a U, and held it in his hand.
"That's what it takes."
"What's wrong?" At this time, Master Xing stepped forward.
"He said..." The executive director would look embarrassed and tell the whole story.
"There were wires in the few shots just now, retake them." After hearing this, Mr. Xing gave the order without hesitation.
He has to pick out even the details of the wire shape.
【Received thanks from Zhou Xingchi, +1 for acting skills and +1 for comedy talent! 】
Master Xing patted him on the shoulder: "You did a good job."
In terms of handling details, he was very confident about Zhang Yuan.
"By the way, Mr. Xing, I will be a substitute. Do you have any processing money?" Zhang Yuan joked.
"Hehe, hehehe..." Zhou Xingchi turned his head away while laughing.
Zhang Yuan: ...
To be picky, it has to be you!
Shooting officially begins!
"Hey, I only count three times."
The frog performed outside the camera, while Zhang Yuan quickly picked up the wire after the other party finished speaking, and ran to his hands Fatty Cong is tied to a chain.
“Three!”
Master, as a character, has far less martial ethics than the boss, and his personality is just a wallflower.
He will help whoever is strong.
So, in the Pig Cage Walled City, Brother Chen finally counted to 2 and paused before throwing the lighter.
But the master counted to three without giving him a chance.
Not far away, Ding Xiaolong's muscles were all tense. Although he was blocked by his suit jacket, clues could still be seen from his muscular cheeks.
After all, everyone who works out knows that this is called masseter compensation...
Tighten the ax in your hand, raise your arm, and use force, and then...
Crack!
Ding Xiaolong:? ? ?
He only saw that Zhang Yuan and Fat Zaicong opposite him had landed, with only empty iron locks left on the wooden frame.
“Stuck!”
Master Xing was very dissatisfied and pointed the script in his hand at Ding Xiaolong: "Why are you so slow to react?"
"Are you asleep?"
Ding Xiaolong said to himself, I am not slow either. ?
I felt as if the person on the other side was blinking away and he fell to the ground without giving me any chance at all!
"Come again, move faster." Master Xing ordered.
Ding Xiaolong turned his neck and clenched his fist vigorously.
“3!”
Thump, thump, thump… Zhang Yuan ran towards Fat Zai Cong again.
Ding Xiaolong, on the other hand, omitted the preparations and directly raised his hand.
Boom!
Before he could release the ax, the two of them fell to the ground again.
Ding Xiaolong was stamping his feet and shaking his head.
Master Xing finally understands.
Ding Xiaolong is too slow, Zhang Yuan is obviously too fast!
"How about you slow down a little bit."
Xingye said in concern.
At the same time, he began to doubt Zhang Yuan’s previous work experience?
With such speed, you can make a fortune just by going to the train station, so why are you acting!
"Okay."
Zhang Yuan glanced at Fat Zai Cong helplessly, that means.
You asked me to go fast, see, the director said so.
Fat Zaicong opened his mouth, thinking it was my fault.
My worries are completely unnecessary.
“Come again!”
The frog started counting again, while Zhang Yuan ran towards Fat Zai Cong for the Nth time.
Uh-huh!
This time, Ding Xiaolong learned his lesson and his hand speed was very fast.
But, he forgot one thing.
Master Xing has asked Zhang Yuan to slow down.
The wire in his hand had just touched the lock, and a prop ax had already arrived in front of Fat Zai Cong.
"Ah!" Lin Zicong screamed with eyes wide open as he saw the ax getting closer and closer.
This prop ax has a wooden handle with an old plastic ax head.
The head of this ax cannot hurt anyone, but the wooden handle can. If you get hit once, you won't vomit blood, but it will hurt for several days.
To be honest, being hit by a prop, not to mention a veteran actor, for Zhang Yuan, an actor who does not have much experience, cannot be considered an accident on the set, at most It can be regarded as an interview or an after-dinner story.
But even so, no one would be willing to take this hit.
Fat Zai Cong’s hands were tied and he could do nothing but yell.
As he watched the ax coming in front of him, a black shadow suddenly appeared, passing quickly past his eyes like a beast as fast as lightning.
Bang!
The ax stopped steadily less than two inches in front of him.
He looked down and saw a big hand with protruding meridians, forcefully holding the flying ax handle.
This arm looks a little pale. Although the muscles are strong, it feels a little skinny. In the words of fitness guys, it means that the body fat is very low.
Obviously, this is Zhang Yuan's hand.
His arms will give the other person this feeling, which is a side effect of being thin and starving during these days of character building.
Click!
Just when Fatty Cong secretly called out his luck, there was a light sound above his head, and then he fell to the ground.
Pa, bang, bang...
At this time, not far away, I remembered a sound of applause!
The source of this voice is none other than the director and starring actor Xing Ye.
“Okay!”
Holding the ax in one hand and opening the lock in the other, this is so cool!
Master Xing wants to add this scene to the feature film.
It’s a pity that it doesn’t conform to the logic of the character. It’s a pity, it’s a pity...
As soon as Mr. Xing applauded, the others also followed suit with great discernment, and the applause resounded throughout the crew.
"Did you take the photo?" Mr. Xing turned to ask the camera crew.
"It was filmed."
"Add it to the highlights."
Zhang Yuan swayed off the wooden stage, accepting the warm applause from the surroundings like a winner.
“My strength lies in the golden horse, that’s how I feel.”
“Why do I feel a little envious.”
Speaking of Bao Qiang, Zhang Yuan immediately thought of that big face that looked silly but was actually a show of talent.
"Let him go up the mountain first!"
Coming to Master Xing's side, the man looked at him with quite envious eyes, and at the same time imitated his actions just now, using force Gestures.
“Your reaction speed is so fast!”
Everyone knows that Mr. Star’s idol is Bruce Lee.
This is also one of the reasons for filming "Kung Fu", to pay tribute to an idol.
Because he loves martial arts, he could tell at a glance that Zhang Yuan's set of moves just now was extremely difficult!
It is not easy to catch an axe.
But what’s even more amazing is that the other hand is still opening the lock at the same time.
It is equivalent to drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand. This is not something ordinary people can do.
At least Xingye knew that he couldn't do it.
"Oh, by the way, you have practiced martial arts."
Master Xing then remembered that it was Yuan Hua and Yuan Long who brought him to the audition in the first place.
I was only impressed by his strange dance, but I forgot about it.
Sing Ye recalled that at that time, his stick skills seemed to have impressed even Hong Jinbao.
"Okay." Mr. Xing nodded in approval and waved to Ding Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, please slow down a little bit, you know?"
"I understand."
Ding Xiaolong I was also shocked by the accident just now.
Seeing that the ax was about to hit someone, his heart was in his throat.
To be honest, he was not as relaxed as Lin Zicong, who was almost beaten.
When he saw the ax being caught, he was really relieved, but the next second, he frowned and realized that something was wrong.
He has practiced Jeet Kune Do, nunchuck, three-knot stick, and nine-knot whip and is quite good at it.
But to be fair, he felt that he must be able to catch the ax just now.
“There are still masters!”
Ding Xiaolong exclaimed.
He thought this crew was enough for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Yuan Hua, Yuan Qiao, Yuan Baye... these three are relatively weak.
Shi Xingyu, Zhao Zhilin, Liang Xiaolong...these three are the masters of their respective fields!
But without exception, these six are already quite old.
So he thought that his inferiority was related to his experience and the length of practice.
But now there suddenly appears someone who is younger than me, so how can we have fun?
"Otherwise he can play the boss, and I can only play the younger brother..."
After filming six or seven more times, this one was barely passed.
Zhang Yuan’s legs were sore from running.
“I feel a lot empty after not eating enough.”
"When this movie is over, I have to make up for it."
He was just about to go back to the hotel to rest, but Master Xing called him from behind.
"Zhang Yuan, wait a moment."
Zhou Xingxing grinned and came to his side.
“I have something to ask of you.”
What exactly?
It’s actually not complicated.
Because of what happened just now, Master Xing remembered that he was good at Kung Fu, and at the same time, he also remembered that he was good at using sticks.
"They say that a gun and a stick are a family, so please give him some guidance."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
The person whom Master Xing asked him to mentor was none other than Mr. Dong Zhihua, the actor who plays the Fried Ghost, the user of Wulang Bagua stick in the film.
“Wulang Bagua Stick.”
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while.
It is said that this stick technique originated from Yang Wulang and Yang Yande, one of the generals of the Yang family.
Under the enlightenment of the eminent monk Zhiguang, he escaped into Buddhism and became a monk.
Since Buddhism cannot use swords and guns, he gave up his main weapon, the long-handled Xuanhua ax, and used a stick instead.
This set of stick techniques coincides with the Four Symbols and Bagua, and has its subtleties.
But in the final analysis, it is still the Buddhist stick method!
Since it is a Buddhist stick method, the underlying logic is roughly the same as the Shaolin stick method that Zhang Yuan is good at.
"Okay, but I heard that this person is a martial arts student, so he should be able to use a stick."
Zhang Yuan is not sure. Speaking of Dong Zhihua, the older generation of movie audiences and theater fans may be familiar with him.
But to young people, he is more famous for his wife and son.
Wang Jinhua and Dong Zijian!
"He was playing with a stick, not using a stick." Mr. Xing whispered: "The shots showed that his opera skills are too obvious."
"It's not as hard as kung fu." The feeling of a hard horse.”
Master Xing put his hand on his shoulder and talked as he walked.
“But the martial arts directors in the crew are all from the Yuan family class. They are also from opera background, and like Teacher Dong, they have the foundation of Peking Opera.”
“The remaining teachers Zhao Zhilin and Liang Xiaolong Brother, they are all good at boxing."
"I was originally dissatisfied with his fighting scenes and always wanted to revise and reshoot them."
"Now that you're here, it's just right. Good at using sticks.”
Zhang Yuan looked at the other party with a rather satisfied smile and then spoke.
"Master Xing, can I get paid more for teaching Mr. Dong stick skills?"
"Hey hey hey... let's not talk about this for now."
But still You dig it!
Zhang Yuan had already guessed that this person was an iron rooster who never plucks a hair.
So he will do it regardless of whether he is paid or not.
After all, it was within his plan to befriend Dong Zhihua. (End of this chapter)
