Zhou Shen, at the suggestion of Ding Beibeide, originally planned to come over to participate in this masked martial king competition.

However, when I arrived at the registration point, I learned that ordinary participants who were not invited to sign up need to undergo a closed training for 3~7 days, unless you can prove that you are a "senior martial arts person", so that you can avoid training time.

This is understandable, after all, this is not a child's play, but a martial arts competition presented in front of the national audience, which can't be too child's play.

What's more, the masked martial arts king bears all the training costs, and the applicant only needs to pay a registration fee of 100 yuan.

However, Zhou Shen came to participate in the competition on a whim.

It's good to get 1 million, but it doesn't matter if you can't get it, he can't prove anything to others, seeing that people need all kinds of procedures, and they also need to conduct a three-day competition training after signing up, so he left happily.

After the two of them got out of the registration site of the masked martial king, they walked all the way towards the Taishan Fengzen Grand Ceremony Theater.

Just then, two men suddenly blocked their way.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and beardless, looked at Zhou Shen with an excited face and said, "Hello sir, my name is Mei Zimo, can I talk to you a few words?" ”

Zhou Shen was puzzled: "What are you talking about?" ”

The male assistant next to him immediately added: "This Mr. Mei Zimo, the chief director of the Taishan Feng Zen Ceremony." ”

Zhou Shen: "Oh! ”

Male assistant: "......"

Mei Zimo, the chief director of the Taishan Feng Zen Ceremony, is also very famous in the domestic director circle, many stars want to know Mei Zimo but suffer from no result, and now Director Mei takes the initiative to come to know, this young man is just one?

However, Mei Zimo obviously didn't have time to worry about these, he looked at Zhou Shen and said excitedly: "That's the case, we are now filming the opening ceremony of the Feng Chan ceremony, which opens more than ten seconds of martial arts CG screen, I don't want to use animation synthesis, I want a live-action version." ”

After a pause, Mei Zimo followed: "I just saw sir, you jump up and grab the balloon......

Saying that, Mei Zimo also pointed to the little girl not far away, "Your skills and temperament are very in line with our requirements, so I want to invite Mr. to star in this opening martial arts scene, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhou Shen asked, "Is there any money?" ”

"Huh?"

Mei Zimo didn't expect Zhou Shen to be so direct, so she couldn't help but pause, and then smiled: "Of course!" You can rest assured that you will be rewarded. ”

Zhou Shen smiled: "Okay, go over and have a look." ”

Idle is idle anyway.

……

It gets dark late in the summer.

Zhou Shen was delayed for a long time at the Dai Temple in the afternoon, and when he arrived at the scene of the masked martial king's audition, the sunset was still high in the sky.

At this time, when I followed Mei Zimo to the Fengzen Grand Ceremony Theater, although it was not dark outside, the theater was already brightly lit, and many staff members were still rehearsing over and over again.

Passing through several halls all the way, Zhou Shen and Ding Beibei watched as they walked.

When passing by a dance studio, Ding Beibei looked at the dancing dancers and said with envy: "My dream when I was a child was to become a ballet dancer, but my mother didn't allow me to dance ballet, so I had to play the piano. ”

"You still have a choice, it's already good! I don't even know how to talk about pianos. ”

Zhou Shen paused for a moment and said: "I'm so big, I don't know any talent, singing, painting, playing basketball, I haven't studied at all." ”

"When it comes to playing basketball, when we were young, the primary school in the village didn't even have a basketball hoop, and there was no hardening on the playground, so when it rained, it was sloppy."

Ding Beibei smiled: "Then you know martial arts." ”

Zhou Shen shook his head and smiled: "Martial arts is only because I am the chosen son!" Otherwise, I would have been a handful of loess by now. ”

Ding Beibei glanced at him suspiciously, but seeing that he always had a faint smile on his face, he didn't know if he was joking or really feeling?

Soon they came to an empty large hall on the west side of the theater, where there were many people setting up the scenery, and there were many indoor pavilions and pavilions, Qionglou Yuyu and so on.

Of course, these are just model props, but they are also very realistic.

"Mei Dao is good!"

"Mei Dao~"

"Mei Dao ......"

When I saw Mei Zimo and his party appear here, there were greetings everywhere along the way, and many team leaders came up to ask for opinions.

Mei Zimo took Zhou Shen and the two to the center of the hall, where there was a huge artificial ladder, with a height of twenty meters, very steep, close to a ninety degree angle, and covered with yellow roses.

There are also more than a dozen four or five meters high dragon pillars, on which are hung yellow satin representing majesty.

The silk is now drooping, but there are many blowers in the back, and once they blow, it must be very magnificent.

Mei Zimo stood at the bottom of the ladder, looking up at the ladder, and explained to Zhou Shen and the others: "What I want to see is that a master of national arts with excellent martial arts is standing on the ladder with a horizontal sword, prancing on a horse, flying eaves, and walking on the wall. ”

"First a fist, then a knife, a gun or a stick, and finally jump off the ladder!"

"Although I wanted to do it all by one person, it was almost impossible, so I had to settle for the next best thing, divide it into several parts, and then synthesize it at the end."

"But it must all be filmed, I don't want those computer-generated CG special effects, I want to tell those audiences that our ancestors still have some real things!"

"In order for the effect to look more explosive, the entire ladder is actually transparent, I'll show you the effect......"

Saying that, Mei Zimo said to the assistant next to him, "Xiao Li, go and turn on the light." ”

"Okay, Director Mei."

The assistant who was standing next to Mei Zimo immediately ran to the lighting engineer.

Soon, the lights in the hall dimmed, and all the colored lights on the top of the ladder went out, but the back of the ladder lit up, illuminating the entire giant ladder in detail.

At this time, the top of the ladder looks like a shadow puppet play, which is very clear.

It's like holding a magnifying glass to observe, and when others say people, even an ant can see it clearly.

In this case, it is impossible to hang Weiya at all, otherwise the two lines can be seen clearly, which will destroy the atmosphere too much.

Zhou Shen also looked up at the ladder and said, "I understand what you mean, this opening CG is really effective, but it will also magnify the flaws, so there can't be the slightest mistake." ”

After a pause, Zhou Shen said: "And you have such a big scene, if a martial artist wants to show the momentum of thousands of troops, ordinary swords and clubs are absolutely not good, only big guns!" ”

When Mei Zimo heard Zhou Shen's words, she immediately nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, what Teacher Zhou said is right!" I thought of the big gun at the beginning, and I also specially contacted the big gun king Hua Feihonghua in Cangzhou, but Mr. Hua is old and can't climb the height. ”

"Later, I contacted several more, and when I heard that they wanted to fight and play big guns without any protection on a platform of more than ten or twenty meters, they all refused."

After a pause, Mei Zimo said: "If it really doesn't work, then you can only contact the stuntman, and then find someone to train you in boxing and gunning, but the opening CG of this paragraph must be filmed in real time, even if the effect is almost better than the animation." ”

Zhou Shen took off his backpack and threw it on the ground, and then used the jumping technique, a run-up, followed by a jump, and the person had already jumped onto the ladder.

Then he jumped quickly towards the ladder at an angle of almost 90 degrees, as agile and fast as an ape.

In the blink of an eye, he had reached the top of the twenty-meter-high ladder.

Standing on it, I turned around and looked down at the theater hall of thousands of square meters, and the people below were as small as ants.

At this time, the lights in this area of the ladder were dim, and the shadow lights behind him made his figure more majestic.

Hundreds of staff members in the hall, including Mei Zi and Mei Meidao, who were standing with Zhou Shen just now, and his assistants, all widened their eyes and looked up at Zhou Shen above.

Zhou Shen stood on the platform on the ladder, and the platform here is actually quite wide, 60 centimeters.

However, consider that the ladder is almost vertical, has no handrails, and no safety belts, and is more than 17 meters above the ground.

Zhou Shen stood on the steps, pulled out the boxing frame and practiced Xingyi Boxing.

……

And with Zhou Shen's drill, Director Mei, who was standing at the foot of the ladder, was suddenly excited.

"Yes, yes, that's what I want!"

"Xiao Li, hurry up, let them turn on the camera and prepare for the ...... shooting"

Xiao Li, the assistant next to Director Mei, was about to run away, but was dragged by Ding Beibei.

Turning his head and smiling, he said, "Director Mei, there is no rush to shoot, let's negotiate the cost first and then shoot." ”

"Huh? Oooooooooo......oo Okay, okay, you guys set a price. ”

Mei Zimo said with a smile.

Ding Beibei said with a smile: "Since Director Mei asked me to make a price, then I'm welcome!" 5 million. ”

Ding Beibei Lion opened his mouth.

"What, what? 5 million? You ......"

Hearing Ding Beibei's words, Mei Zimo and his assistant were dumbfounded on the spot.

Ding Beibei smiled: "Why is Director Mei so excited? I know the 5 million offer is a bit small, but your theater also has to make a profit, so let's just do the same. ”

Mei Zimo finally came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Miss Ding, to be honest, this price is really too high, we can't afford it." ”

Ding Beibei smiled and said: "Director Mei, there is naturally a reason for the high price, Brother Zhou is a real martial arts master, don't say that you are 5 million, you add 0, you may not be able to invite it." ”

"I know that Mr. Zhou is a master of martial arts, and I saw him jump up and grab balloons before, so I specially invited him."

"Hahaha, then Mei Dao, your luck is really good! Today, I originally planned to let Brother Zhou participate in the Masked Martial King, but he disliked that it was too troublesome to sign up......"

After Ding Beibei's explanation, Mei Zimo also had a basic understanding of Zhou Shen.

However, I really don't believe in Ding Beibei's words such as "excellent martial arts" and "invincible opponents all over the world".

Mei Zimo is not a novice, he has planned the performance of the Taishan Feng Zen Ceremony over the years, and has met a lot of martial arts people, knowing that even if he can do light skills and play routines well, it does not mean that his martial arts are really high.

Just like Master Chen, everyone knows that he has real kung fu, but he can't beat the UFC fighters.

Because kung fu and kung fu are also different.

In the face of Mei Zimo's questioning, Ding Beibei did not refute it.

If it was when she first met Zhou Shen, she might have explained a few sentences, but now she won't, Zhou Shen's martial arts don't need to be proved to anyone at all!

Whether you believe it or not, anyway, Brother Zhou's current martial arts, if not the first in the world, are the second in the world.

"For a skill like Brother Zhou, the appearance fee usually starts at one million, and 5 million buys out all the copyrights at one time, which is really cost-effective."

"Of course, Director Mei, you can also choose to share, just like that one...... Chang Wei participated in the Matrix, showing his face for a total of three minutes, for more than ten years, and there are hundreds of thousands of dividends every year. ”

When Mei Zimo heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, "That's the Matrix, released worldwide, our Zen Ceremony, that is, to put it on tourists in Mount Tai, how does the annual income compare with the Matrix?" ”

Ding Beibei said with a smile: "Director Mei is modest, your annual box office exceeds hundreds of millions of yuan, and in terms of investment costs, you are more profitable than The Matrix." ”

"Our hidden costs are very high, the profit margin is really not as high as you think, and 5 million is really impossible."

After a pause, Mei Zimo said: "Miss Ding, we are very sincere, 200,000 yuan, how about asking Mr. Zhou to punch on the ladder for a while?" ”

Ding Beibei asked, "What about the big gun dancing in the back?" ”

Mei Zimo said: "If you can't do it, let the stuntman go up and perform for a while." ”

Ding Beibei said: "Director Mei, time waits for no one, now is the peak season for summer vacation tourists, and you will lose a lot of money if you delay it for a day, let me tell you a plan, you will find the big gun Wang Hua Feihonghua teacher in Cangzhou, and teach Brother Zhou directly." ”

"Brother Zhou is a martial arts wizard, he can learn any martial arts as soon as he learns it, and he will be good at it for a while."

Mei Zimo hesitated when he heard this: "Are you sure he can learn to shoot a big gun?" Big guns are not something that can be learned in three or five days. ”

Ding Beibei said: "Then you look for stuntmen, can they learn in three or five days?" At least Brother Zhou really practices martial arts, and he can learn it faster when he teaches it, isn't it? ”

"Uh, that's right!"

Mei Zimo followed and said: "Time waits for no one, let's all be refreshed, don't say anything about 5 million." If Mr. Zhou can learn the shape of a big gun in three days, and punch a piece of boxing, add a dance of a big gun on the ladder, and add a picture of flying eaves and walking on the wall, a total of one minute, I will pay 1 million. ”

"300,000 deposit, pay 300,000 after learning the big gun Mei Dao is satisfied, and the remaining 400,000 will be paid after filming."

"Okay, deal!"

……

……

On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Shen was also amused when he heard Ding Beibei's words.

People paid to invite a famous man with a big gun to come and teach him the art of a big gun, and he had to pay a high appearance fee when he turned around.

To be honest, if it were for him to talk about it himself, that Director Mei could find a big gun master to come and teach him how to shoot big guns, and he would be willing to help him shoot for free.

What Zhou Shen didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived at the hotel, Director Mei's phone came.

The big gun master is already on his way.

"So fast?"

"We have already been contacted, if it weren't for Mr. Zhou, we would have changed stuntmen."

"I see!"
