Chapter 484: Martial Arts Instruction
Director Zhang heard Liang Zhongren's shouting in the distance, and hurriedly walked over, he and Liang Zhongren are old acquaintances, they once collaborated on a movie, and the relationship is quite harmonious, he knows that Liang Zhongren's temper is more hot, so he hurried over to mediate.
"Master Liang, Liu Yan is making a movie for the first time, and some of them are not in place, so you can bear more!" As he spoke, Director Zhang patted him on the shoulder and signaled to give him face.
Liang Zhongren is a little strange, this is the first time Director Zhang has spoken for an actor, no matter how angry he was with the actor before, Director Zhang never came to mediate directly, at most he talked about it from the side.
Is there any special relationship between this kid and Director Zhang? Liang Zhongren muttered in his heart, his attitude softened, and explained: "Alas, Director Zhang, I'm also worried about affecting the filming progress, you said that I have said it so many times, and he still fights so fast, does he think he knows how to do some work, so he deliberately shows off in front of me?"
Liu Yan listened from the sidelines, angry in his heart, but he didn't want to embarrass Director Zhang, so he took the initiative to say soft words: "Master Liang, don't worry, I won't make another mistake, let me try again." ”
Liang Zhongren snorted and said, "Okay, you can do it yourself, everyone is waiting, if it doesn't work again, I can't do it." ”
Seeing that the two had reconciled temporarily, Director Zhang gave Liu Yan a look and signaled him not to be in a hurry and take his time.
This time Liu Yan tried to slow himself down, in fact, it is very difficult, if he has no martial arts skills, or only has some kung fu fur, it is easy to slow down, and Liu Yan has experienced a hundred battles, his kung fu is practical, and his body already has muscle memory, as long as he moves, it is as fast as lightning, and he can't slow down at all.
Fortunately, Liu Yan tried his best to accommodate the speed of other people, slowed down his movements, and after he finished, Liang Zhongren's face looked better, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, I'll take this when I officially shoot later!"
Liu Yan smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, acting is performance, and real kung fu are indeed two different things.
After filming this scene smoothly, the time came to noon, and the crew rested for an hour and had lunch.
Several big-name actors, as well as senior workers such as Liang Zhongren, have separate meals and distributions, and assistants arrange them separately.
However, Liu Yan is different, like the ordinary staff of the crew, he asked for a boxed lunch, squatted next to him and ate by himself, without any big-name style.
Liang Zhongren as a martial arts instructor, he has a team with stand-ins, as well as dragon sets and other members, and they eat together.
During the meal, a stand-in said to Liang Zhongren: "Master, Liu Yan, who plays the second male lead, is the champion of the Chinese Martial Arts Conference, but he is amazing!"
Liang Zhongren lives in Hong Kong when he is not filming, he doesn't know much about things in the capital, and he hasn't heard of any martial arts conferences, his job is to design movements, participate in performances, and have nothing to do with actual combat, so he doesn't care.
Listening to this stand-in, his competitiveness was hooked, although he works in the film and television industry, but he is also a master of actual combat, he participated in martial arts competitions when he was young, and won the lightweight championship.
"Is that kid really a champion? I don't think it's very good?" Liang Zhongren said disdainfully.
"Master Liang, haven't you watched the video on the Internet? Liu Yan defeated the master of the Japanese Kingdom and won the championship in one fell swoop, that game was very exciting!" As he spoke, the martial artist took out his mobile phone and pointed out the video for Liang Zhongren to watch.
Liang Zhongren took the phone, watched the video, frowned, and said: "Where is this martial arts competition, it is obviously to cooperate with each other to fool the audience!"
Liang Zhongren is very proud, he grew up in Hong Kong since he was a child, and the martial arts circles he came into contact with were all over there, so he despised the martial arts circles in the capital, he had never heard of cultivation, so he couldn't understand Liu Yan and Kawaguchi Xinan's moves, he felt that they were all fake.
The stand-ins knew Liang Zhongren's temper, arrogance, extreme self-confidence, and self-righteousness, so they didn't distinguish anything from Liang Zhongren, and they all lowered their heads to eat.
Liang Zhongren was a little angry when he saw that the stand-ins didn't echo his words, so he stood up suddenly, threw the lunch box, and shouted: "I'll let you see what real kung fu is!"
After speaking, he walked towards Liu Yan, who was squatting in the corner to eat, and when the martial arts and some other staff saw this formation, they knew that there must be a lively scene today, and they all surrounded him.
Liu Yan was lowering his head, squatting there eating a boxed lunch, when he heard a sound of footsteps, he immediately raised his head, only to see Liang Zhongren walking over with his eyes staring, he hurriedly stood up and asked politely, "Is there something wrong with Master Liang?"
"Hey, Liu Yan, I heard that you are a martial arts champion, can you compete with me?" Liang Zhongren said, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to start.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Master Liang, just kidding, I'm definitely not your opponent, so you don't have to fight." ”
"This is admitting defeat?haha, why is the martial arts champion so cowardly?" Liang Zhongren smiled slightly, he was very famous in martial arts, and he could find it on the Internet, he thought that Liu Yan had also heard that he was powerful, so he confessed on the spot.
"I admit defeat, Master Liang is a person with real kung fu, I definitely can't beat it. Liu Yan said lightly, although he was not happy in his heart, but after all, this is the set, if it really fights, it will affect the atmosphere here, for the sake of Director Zhang's face, this fight can't be fought!
The onlookers were very disappointed when they saw this, in fact, most of them were very disgusted with Liang Zhongren, this big boss was rude to his status, very disrespectful to the other staff, and he was very arrogant, so many people hoped that Liu Yan could teach him a lesson.
But Liu Yan actually confessed on the spot, which was also what they didn't expect, when he was in the ring, Liu Yan was so domineering, he was not merciless in the face of the masters of the Japanese Kingdom, and broke Kawaguchi Sinan's legs on the spot and won the championship!
Liang Zhongren saw that Liu Yan continued to squat down to eat, so he simply ignored him, so he had to turn around and come back, muttering in his mouth: "It's really boring, what a martial arts champion, it's all fake, fake!"
His voice was very loud, and Liu Yan could hear it clearly, but he pretended not to hear it, and still ate with his head down, ignoring it.
In the afternoon, Liu Yan filmed a literary drama with the heroine, and then rested for a while, and then there was another fight scene.
Before the start of filming, Liang Zhongren, as a martial arts instructor, also had to give Liu Yan a lecture.
When Liang Zhongren was talking to Liu Yan in the morning, his attitude was not very good, but it was not that he targeted Liu Yan, it was just a professional habit.
But in the afternoon, his attitude was even worse, it was obvious that he was provoking Liu Yan and forcing Liu Yan to make a move.
After Liang Zhongren demonstrated it to Liu Yan, Liu Yan followed him, and before Liu Yan finished it, Liang Zhongren began to lose his temper, scolding in his mouth, scolding vigorously, and even raised his leg and kicked Liu Yan.
Liang Zhongren is known for his short temper, and he has beaten people before, but he used to beat some extras and stuntmen, and he didn't dare to do anything to this kind of protagonist actor.
Today, in order to provoke Liu Yan, he actually made a move, and this time, the people around him were stunned, and they all looked at Liu Yan one after another, thinking, this martial arts champion is too enduring, right?
To be honest, Liu Yan was on the verge of an outbreak, if this was not the set, he would have done it a long time ago.
After Liang Zhongren kicked him, he looked at Liang Zhongren coldly and said word by word: "I warn you, don't do anything with me!"
Liang Zhongren saw that Liu Yan was angry, and immediately became excited, he snorted and shouted: "What about kicking you? This is my rule, if you don't do it well, you have to clean it up!"
"Why are you cleaning me up? My contract was signed with the crew, not with you, if I can't do it well, the director will naturally be responsible, what does it have to do with you?" Liu Yan's words were sonorous and powerful, reasonable, and speechless.
However, Liang Zhongren was deliberately finding fault and fighting, and he didn't care about losing face, and shouted: "I am responsible for your martial arts movements, I have the final say!
Director Zhang was filming a literary drama over there, and an assistant director ran to him and whispered to him about the quarrel between Liu Yan and Liang Zhongren, Director Zhang frowned and said in a low voice: "Alas, this Liang Zhongren ......."
Director Zhang handed over the matter at hand to the assistant director, and then came to Liu Yan's side, he saw Liang Zhongren and Liu Yan looking at each other angrily, tense and about to fight.
"Liang Zi, Liu Yan, why bother, everyone is trying to make a good movie, can't they be more tolerant?" Director Zhang persuaded helplessly.
Liu Yan knows Director Zhang's hardships, Liang Zhongren, as a martial arts instructor, is indeed the top spot in the circle, and with him, there is a guarantee of action movies.
But this Liang Zhongren was forced to do so hard, and he didn't want to endure it anymore, so he walked up to Director Zhang and said, "Director Zhang, when I was having lunch just now, Master Liang came over and challenged me, saying that he wanted to compare with me, but I didn't agree at the time. In the afternoon, he made it even more difficult for me. My current identity is an actor, not a martial artist, and I didn't want to do it, but if Master Liang really insists on doing it, I can only accompany him to the end!"
As soon as he heard Liu Yan agree, Liang Zhongren immediately laughed and said, "Director Zhang, this is what he said, everyone heard it, Liu Yan agreed to do it!"
Director Zhang smiled bitterly and nodded, he has been a director for so many years, he has seen everything, and there are many situations where there are contradictions between actors and crews like this, as a director, it is necessary to balance these relationships and reduce contradictions, so that the entire crew can successfully complete the shooting.
"Since you are all interested, then our crew will make an exception and add a show, but we can say it in advance, until the point is reached, just learn from each other, don't get hurt!" Director Zhang also saw that Liang Zhongren was the one who provoked the trouble, and the staff and the people on the scene were happy to watch this excitement, although Liu Yan said that he had no choice but to agree. In that case, let's fight!
