Chapter 269: Entering the crew of "The King of Kung Fu".
After the award ceremony, Zhang Chengyuan took Cheng Youli away, he didn't announce it at night, and Cheng Youli didn't announce it, so he naturally wouldn't let Cheng Youli go. Originally, he wanted to pull Kim Tae-hee away together, but with Li Wan watching, he couldn't do it, so he had to let Kim Tae-hee leave. Then he and Cheng Youli returned to the apartment and spent a romantic and passionate evening.
It's just that Yoon Eun-hye, who slept in the room next to him, was a little depressed, and he could barely sleep because of the noise, and he was very depressed when he woke up the next day. Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan recovered her mental and physical strength in time.
After breakfast, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to his second daughter, mentioned the salute that Cheng Youli packed for him last night, got into the car driven by Lin Zhixiu, went to Incheon International Airport, and took a flight to China. Tomorrow, May 2, the American-Chinese co-production film "The King of Kung Fu" will start shooting in Dunhuang, China, and the crew asked him to make an appearance and meet with the rest of the crew.
That night, Zhang Chengyuan went to Dunhuang to find the temporary location of the crew, the Mogao Hotel, met with the crew members, and also met several main actors. Among them, Cheng Long is naturally the most familiar with him, without Cheng Long's recommendation, he would not have been able to enter this crew at all. And the rest, except for Li Lianjie, a well-known kung fu superstar in the world, he has seen it in film and television works, and he doesn't recognize the rest.
After Cheng Long's introduction, I learned their names: Michael Angelano, Li Binbin and Liu Yifei.
Michael Angelano, a young American actor, is four or five years younger than Zhang Chengyuan, born as a child star, and has acted in many more movies than Zhang Chengyuan. However, in Zhang Chengyuan's opinion, this kid is thin and average-looking, and there is nothing worth his high look, and Zhang Chengyuan even feels that there is no room for improvement in his future.
Of course, this is just his personal opinion, but Americans may not think so, maybe Michael Angelano's future will still be bright, it is not known! Moreover, at least in this play, Michael Angelano's role is much heavier than Zhang Chengyuan, he is the protagonist, and Zhang Chengyuan is only a supporting role, and I don't know where Zhang Chengyuan got the confidence to look down on Michael Angelo.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan didn't reveal what he thought in his heart, otherwise, he would have to be annoying.
Li Binbin, looking a little tired, maybe because she had just arrived, arrived a few minutes later than Zhang Chengyuan, when Zhang Chengyuan just arrived at the hotel and waited for Cheng Long to come down to pick him up in the hotel lobby, she also took a photo with her, she gave Zhang Chengyuan the impression that her figure, appearance, and temperament were very good, but that's all. However, after he accidentally learned her age, he had a more impression of Li Binbin, thinking that she looked too young, beyond her age, she was 34 years old, and she only looked 25 or 26.
"Could it be that she also knows how to practice qi and maintain health?" Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but think.
As for Liu Yifei, Zhang Chengyuan's perception of her couldn't be better, because she is really beautiful, in his eyes she is at the same level as Kim Tae-hee, and she is a stunning beauty that is unique in ten thousand, and her temperament is pure, ethereal, like a fairy in the world, she is the type he admired the most in his previous life, and when he sees her, he has a sense of déjà vu, which is somewhat similar to the senior sister and junior sister in his previous life. Of course, this similarity refers to the similarity of temperament, not to the physiognomy.
However, with Zhang Chengyuan's super concentration in the face of strangers, even if Liu Yifei's appearance and temperament shocked him, it was not enough to make him lose his temper, in the eyes of others, when Zhang Chengyuan and Liu Yifei saluted each other, their expressions did not change, they were still sincere eyes and warm smiles, and they were not more enthusiastic about Liu Yifei, a little beauty who was almost loved by everyone, and their eyes stayed on her for a short time.
met with several leading actors, Zhang Chengyuan felt that everyone's impression of him should be okay, perhaps because he can speak both fluent English and standard Chinese, plus he is good-looking and polite, so everyone has a good impression of him. However, everyone seemed to be more curious about him, and kept looking at him one by one, as if asking: "How can a Korean actor participate in this play?" "How can he speak English and Chinese so well? "His relationship with Cheng Long seems to be better than he imagined? "Is his skill really as good as the one circulating on the Internet? ”
In this regard, Zhang Chengyuan just didn't see anything!
Seeing that the main actors had arrived, Cheng Long proposed a small gathering and a supper together, and by the way, he picked up Li Binbin and Zhang Chengyuan. It happened that Zhang Chengyuan had been in the dust all the way, almost nothing, hungry, and very uncomfortable, so he showed an astonishing ability at the dinner party - the ability to eat, and ate the amount of food for nearly ten people in one go.
In this regard, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie both felt that it was understandable that a martial arts practitioner with a fit body like Zhang Chengyuan had such a large amount of food, but the others were shocked, it was not that people who could eat had never seen it, but most of them were big fat people, like Zhang Chengyuan, who had a standard figure like a model and was so able to eat, they were all the first time they had seen it.
Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask: "Zhang, well, Brother Zhang, do you eat like this every meal?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's just occasionally! It's just that this Chinese food is so delicious that I can't help but eat a little more. ”
Cheng Long said: "If you want to eat Chinese food, you will stay in China for a while this time." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm afraid I can't, I still have a TV series in South Korea that is being filmed, and the time is very tight, if my role is not arranged in the near future, then I plan to leave tomorrow to go back!" ”
Cheng Long said: "There is no role for you here in Dunhuang, if the filming here goes well, your role should start filming around the 16th." Since you're busy, I won't keep you, but you're going to have a few more drinks with me tonight. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Big brother, you still have to film tomorrow, so don't drink it!" ”
Cheng Long said: "You're right, I really can't drink it, so I'll drink it with tea instead of wine!" ”
Li Lianjie said: "He just came, and he hasn't rested much, I'm afraid that drinking at this time is not very good for his body?" Why don't you drink it again next time! ”
Cheng Long waved his hand and said, "You don't know how strong his body is, this journey is nothing to him at all!" I'll tell you, I've been with him for about three months, I've never seen him tired, and he's drunk an extraordinary amount of alcohol, so you don't have to worry about him. ”
Li Lianjie said: "You're kidding again, how can anyone really not get drunk with a thousand cups?" ”
Cheng Longle smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll ask him to perform for you!" Cheng Yuan, fight a little harder, and earn some face for the eldest brother to come back! "Recruit a waiter and ask him to bring a case of beer.
Cheng Long's words, Zhang Chengyuan was embarrassed to refuse, so he responded with a smile. After a while, the beer came on the field, Zhang Chengyuan grabbed a bottle of beer, didn't need a driver, and gently pried it with the nail of his thumb, and the bottle cap flew up, crossing a beautiful arc in the air, and happened to land in front of the little beauty Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it curiously, and found that the beer lid had been folded to almost 90 degrees, and was taken aback, and said in his heart: "The force on this Zhang Chengyuan's finger is really terrifying!" She didn't know that this didn't reflect one percent of Zhang Chengyuan's strength, and Zhang Chengyuan's actions were not to show off his strength, he just didn't know the tightness of the wine bottle cap, so he used a little more force in order to avoid making a fool of himself.
At that moment, Zhang Chengyuan aimed the bottle mouth to his mouth, raised his neck, and drank it gurglingly, everyone only saw his throat squirming, and the wine poured down, without stopping at all, and after a while, a bottle of wine dried up.
When the first bottle of wine was almost drunk, Zhang Chengyuan's left thumb had already pried open another bottle of beer, but this time his strength was controlled very accurately, although the beer cap was pried open, it was almost undamaged, and it did not fly, he wiped it with his hand and wiped it on the table.
Li Lianjie stretched out his hand to pick it up and observed it carefully, of course a practitioner like him saw the clue, compared to the first time he opened the cap of the wine bottle, in fact, this time was more rare, the first time was purely by force, and the second time reflected Zhang Chengyuan's precise control of force. It's easy and easy!
When the first bottle of beer was just drunk, Zhang Chengyuan immediately drank the second bottle, the same action, the same speed, and it didn't take long for the second bottle to finish again. Then came the third and fourth bottles...... The eleventh bottle, the twelfth bottle, in a few minutes, a whole case of beer was drunk by Zhang Chengyuan!
At this time, Zhang Chengyuan's face was not red, his ears were not red, and his stomach was not bulging, and he was in good spirits and not drunk, just like he was before drinking. Twelve bottles of beer is not a lot, many people with a good amount of alcohol can drink more than a dozen bottles of beer in a row, or even more, but people like Zhang Chengyuan who drink without stopping, like flowing water, and who have no reaction after drinking so many wines, everyone is surprised when they see it for the first time, and they have another impression of Zhang Chengyuan: "Winemaker!" A man who drinks a lot and drinks a lot of wine! ”
Liu Yifei thought to himself: "If he plays Qiao Feng in "Dragon Babu", it must be very suitable." It's just that he looks too handsome, and he is more handsome than Lin Zhiying and Huang Xiaoming! ”
Cheng Long said to Li Lianjie: "Twelve bottles are a piece of cake for Cheng Yuan, he can drink more, do you want to read it again?" ”
Li Lianjie said: "What's there to see? I thought the two of us were disrespectful and bullied newcomers, so let's stop here, I believe you are. ”
Li Binbin asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Zhang, how much more wine can you drink?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You should be older than me, just call me by my name!" And I take the liberty of calling you 'Sister Binbin'? ”
Li Binbin nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sister Binbin, I don't know how much wine I can drink at most, because I haven't tried it, but I guess it's no problem to have another box!" "More than a box! I'm afraid that three or five boxes will be fine, and after the wine enters his stomach, it will be immediately converted into gas and expelled from his body, in order not to arouse suspicion, he also controls the spread of these wine gases to other directions where no one is around.
Liu Yifei asked, "Brother Zhang, do you often drink like this?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "No, in fact, I don't usually drink much, I prefer to drink tea!" ”
Li Lianjie praised: "This is good! Drinking too much alcohol hurts the body, and people like us who practice martial arts should drink as little as possible. ”
Although Cheng Long usually likes to drink a few glasses, he also agrees with Li Lianjie's words: "Except for necessary entertainment, try to drink less." Especially you, Cheng Yuan, if you don't want to change from a kung fu master to a soft-footed shrimp in a few years, you have to cultivate yourself more and stay away from wine. Perhaps because he suffered some alcohol when he was young, he deliberately persuaded Zhang Chengyuan like this.
In fact, with Zhang Chengyuan's cultivation, there is no need to be too repulsive to the wine, but Cheng Long's admonition, he still has to listen, at least on the surface, and nodded respectfully at the moment.
After that, under the guidance of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, everyone chatted casually, and unconsciously began to become more intimate, chatted for about an hour and a half, and when they saw that it was not early, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, after Zhang Chengyuan got up, washed up, packed his luggage again, and saw that there was still a period of time before the agreed meeting time last night, and he was a little bored, so he went downstairs to the lawn on the first floor of the hotel to hang out. Walking and walking, I saw Li Lianjie, who was practicing his fists and feet at this time.
He remembered the previous sect rules - he couldn't spy on others practicing qi or martial arts, so he was about to turn around and leave, not wanting Li Lianjie to see him and greet him. Zhang Chengyuan had no choice but to step forward and apologize, "Brother Jet Li, I didn't mean to see you practice martial arts." ”
Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "What age is it now, those sect rules are no longer popular, oh, by the way, I heard Brother Cheng Long say that your teacher is also Chinese, presumably from a certain sect, and it is normal to tell you about these rules, but now it is not so particular, you don't have to avoid it!" ”
Zhang Chengyuan hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”
Li Lianjie saw Zhang Chengyuan clasping his fists and saluting, and said with a smile: "It seems that we Chinese martial arts practitioners are old-fashioned, but you remember it quite firmly." ”
Jang Sung-won said: "Although I am a Korean national, sometimes I think of myself as Chinese. ”
Li Lianjie smiled and said, "Everyone is a martial arts practitioner, why don't we have a fight?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan was a little embarrassed, if he accidentally injured Li Lianjie, wouldn't it be troublesome, so he refused: "Where am I the opponent of the eldest brother, I still don't want it!" ”
Li Lianjie said: "I know that you are afraid that you will hurt me, which will affect the filming, since this is the case, then we will not fight, but can you show me a performance!" I'm very curious about your strength! ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll be ugly! If you refuse at this time, I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by Li Lianjie, in order to have a better time in the crew in the future, Zhang Chengyuan does not mind showing his strength. People like Li Lianjie who practice martial arts most of them attach great importance to people with strong martial arts, although due to the relationship of nationality, it is impossible to support Zhang Chengyuan, but they will also look down on him and take care of him more or less.
At the moment, Zhang Chengyuan showed a set of boxing techniques, the moves seemed to be mediocre and unremarkable, but Li Lianjie did not despise it at all, because Zhang Chengyuan's boxing speed was too fast, so fast that he was dazzled, so fast that he didn't have the confidence to take the next move, and Zhang Chengyuan's fist power was also extremely amazing, between the fist swings, the air whirred, no need to try it, he was also convinced that Zhang Chengyuan's fist could really break a wooden pile, and even burst the stone pile!
In Li Lianjie's view, Zhang Chengyuan's boxing method should not be a boxing method in reality, but more like a legendary stunt. Li Lianjie sighed: "It's okay, it's good that I didn't fight you, otherwise I would have to be flattened by you." I've been practicing martial arts for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen someone who can practice boxing to this extent. Well, you should be able to control the amount and speed of the force at will, right? ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Reluctantly!" ”
Li Lianjie smiled: "That's good! You know, we have a lot of fights in this movie, and if you can't control your strength and speed, I don't dare to shoot action scenes with you. ”
After that, Li Lianjie asked with great interest about Zhang Chengyuan's apprenticeship and martial arts, Zhang Chengyuan had been prepared for this, and immediately replied with the past experience that had already been made up. The two talked happily, and the relationship suddenly became closer again.
At half past seven in the morning, the crew began to gather, and the two went to the hall together to meet everyone. Not long after, the crew held a brief start-up ceremony in the courtyard of the hotel.
After the start-up ceremony, Zhang Chengyuan asked the crew for leave to return to China, because Zhang Chengyuan still had a long time before Zhang Chengyuan's scene started filming, so the crew agreed.
After that, Zhang Chengyuan said goodbye to everyone, got into a car driven by a staff member, rushed to Dunhuang Airport, took a plane to Yanjing, and then transferred to Seoul.
And when he was on the road, the crew of "The King of Kung Fu" also went to Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang to start official filming.
