The martial arts brothers at the scene all gathered around.

In fact, the martial arts circle is very small, and the current martial arts class owners are basically the older generation of Hong Kong figures, they have basically experienced the glorious era of Hong Kong films, and they have rich experience in shooting action movies, and many of them have even entered the Hollywood circle, such as Yuan Baye, Lin Di'an, Dong Wei, Cheng Long's family class, etc., including Cheng Xiaodong has also been in Hollywood for a while.

In recent years, almost all of the martial arts brothers have been retired martial arts athletes from the mainland, so it is common for the martial arts brothers of this crew to be brothers with the martial arts of another crew.

Now Li Tang is already very famous in the martial arts circle. On the one hand, of course, because he is red; On the other hand, because he can fight, he is not a martial arts athlete, but he is not an actor from a serious academic class.

And he still debuted with literary films, not only won the Huabiao Award for Newcomer Film, but also won the Venice Film Festival for the little actor, and even won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor not long ago, none of the awards are related to action movies.

What makes it even more difficult for the martial arts brothers to accept is that this product is obviously a monk halfway, and there are not many martial arts skills, simply relying on quick reaction and strength to win. Of course, some may be afraid that he is the main actor, and they will generally show mercy, but most people really can't beat it. So this makes those who know hundreds of sets of boxing methods at every turn, or martial arts national champions and the like, how embarrassing!

Of course, the martial arts brothers of the "Hero" crew are all dealing with Li Tang for the first time, and they all say that hearing is false, seeing is believing, and they all want to see Li Tang's demeanor with a skeptical attitude.

"Teacher Li, please!" Zhang Ai made a gesture of please.

Li Tang smiled and said, "Let's follow the designed actions, you come first." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, be careful."

As soon as Zhang Ai's words fell, he heard a "bang", the long sword was unsheathed, and he stabbed straight towards Li Tang in a few steps.

may not be at the bottom of his heart, Zhang Ai's sword speed is relatively slow, similar to the normal rehearsal speed.

Li Tang was not in a hurry and blocked with a horizontal gun.

Because it is a designed routine, and the speed is not fast, the two have gone back and forth a few times.

Cheng Xiaodong, who was watching from the sidelines, was very satisfied, Li Tang didn't say anything big, he was really proficient, as he said, he was completely ready to shoot.

However, when Li Tang was facing not Zhang Ai but Li Lian, Cheng Xiaodong, who was familiar with Li Lian's personality and characteristics, felt that the speed of the two of them was not fast enough, so he hesitated slightly, and shouted loudly at the center of the venue: "Zhang Ai, speed up a little." ”

It is said that when filming "Fang Shiyu", the director at the time, Yuan Kui, invited a martial arts national champion in his early twenties from the mainland to play opposite Li Lian. This martial arts champion was able to completely keep up with the rhythm of Li Lianjie, not only did Li Lianjie enjoy his fight, but the two teamed up to dedicate a classic fight scene that was enough to leave a name in Hong Kong film history.

The national martial arts champion in his early twenties at the time was Zhao Wentai, who was later hailed as the successor of Li Lian. It is precisely because of Zhao Wenbei's outstanding performance in this play, coupled with his own very good image, that he was photographed by director Xu Ke and signed a contract with Xu Ke Film Studio to replace Li Lianlian, who left Hollywood, to play the new generation of Huang Feihong.

Maybe it was Li Lian Zhuyu in front, or maybe it was from then that Hong Kong movies began to decline, Zhao Wenbei finally failed to reproduce the glory of Li Lian, and after starring in three "Wong Fei Hung" series in succession, as well as the literary and martial arts movies "Green Snake" and "Knife", both the box office and the response were not satisfactory.

Finally, after the expiration of five years with Xu Ke Film Studio, Zhao Wentai signed a contract with China Star, and in the context of the overall decline of Hong Kong films, he was finally reduced to a TV café.

Well, that's a bit far.

Back at the fight scene, Zhang Ai shouted after receiving Cheng Xiaodong's instructions: "Teacher Li, be careful!" ”

With that, he sped up the movements of his hands.

To be honest, Li Tang didn't feel that the trick between the two just now was not enjoyable, and the speed was not even as fast as when he was training the tricks in the crew of "Shooting the Condor" before.

Seeing Zhang Ai speeding up and stabbing at him, he shouted: "It's good!" ”

"When, when, when......"

As their movements accelerated, a few more moves passed in an instant.

However, Zhang Ai was still very careful, and deliberately kept a distance from the tip of the sword several times when he swept towards Li Tang's vital parts, but Li Tang didn't care, according to the designed actions, he was originally on the defensive, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and saw Zhang Ai's movements, and concentrated on blocking and dodging.

It's just that with the acceleration of his movements, he couldn't control his strength a little, and when Zhang Ai swept over with a sword, he threw out the spear in his hand with a sword.

Zhang Ai, who was attacking, was afraid of hurting Li Tang and collected some strength in advance when the long sword swept over, but when the long sword hit the spear thrown over, Zhang Ai only felt that his hand was numb, and the long sword was shocked away with a "dang long" sound.

For a moment, Zhang Ai stood there dumbfounded.

Even if he collected some strength in advance, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he knew his strength, and the long sword in his hand was generally unlikely to get out of his hand, but his arm was still numb at this moment, which showed how powerful Li Tang's shot was just now.

Seeing this scene, not only the onlookers were surprised, but even Cheng Xiaodong was speechless and felt very embarrassed.

"Zhang Ai, what's going on?"

Zhang Ai opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, and if the long sword was taken off, it would be a mistake. If it's a real competition, then it's a direct loss.

Li Tang didn't expect this result, Zhang Ailai's sword speed was a little fast just now, and he also subconsciously threw the gun out. The practice of the trick is familiar with the formation of muscle memory, which is similar to the conditioned reflex, that is, it is not controlled in strength.

When he hit it just now, he also felt that the other party didn't have much strength, and he retracted his strength in advance, and he was a little invincible, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, it's me who didn't control the power well." ”

Hearing Li Tang say this, Cheng Xiaodong's face finally looked better, and Zhang Ai was also busy and grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Li." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. You showed mercy just now, I know. Let's let go and try again. ”

"Huh? Is it okay to let go? Zhang Ai didn't dare to agree, and looked at Cheng Xiaodong on the side.

Seeing this, Li Tang also turned back to Cheng Xiaodong and said, "Director Cheng, let it go." ”

Considering that Li Tang was going to play against Li Lian in the future, Cheng Xiaodong nodded after a little hesitation: "Okay, then let's try it." ”

After speaking, he was still relieved and instructed: "Be careful not to get hurt." ”

In fact, they used rehearsal props, guns and swords, as long as they didn't hurt their eyes, there was nothing wrong with other parts being bruised and swollen at most. As for what flying flowers and picking leaves described in martial arts can hurt people, it does not exist.

Now that Cheng Xiaodong has spoken, Zhang Ai is naturally eager to try, he is young and vigorous, and in front of so many senior brothers, he also wants to rush to save face.

So he let go of the confrontation with Li Tang, and the speed was faster, and it became the normal speed when filming.

As a result, it was useless, Zhang Ai couldn't get into Li Tang's body at all, and after several sword and gun strikes, he was shocked to the point that his arm was numb, if he hadn't taken precautions in advance, maybe the long sword in his hand would have been shocked several times.

And he also felt that Li Tang didn't use all his strength at all, and dealt with it according to the rehearsed tricks one by one, and he was at ease.

Of course, Cheng Xiaodong mainly observed Li Tang, and when he saw that it was almost over, he shouted to stop.

"Well, that's good, if you practice again, and the speed will be raised a little higher, you can fight Li Lian."

"Is he that good?"

Li Tang's mentality at this time is roughly the same as Zhang Ai before the fight, but he has heard of it and has not seen it, although Li Lianjie is very beautiful in the movie, but is it really that powerful in reality?

There are always some doubts in my heart.

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at him and affirmed: "Of course! ”

said, thought for a while and said: "Don't take it seriously, practice hard during this time, if you can't pass the test at Li Lianjie, you have to change people at any time." ”

"I've signed all the contracts." Li Tang was inevitably unconvinced.

Cheng Xiaodong snorted and said: "His salary is three million, or US dollars, how much?" ”

"Uh......"

Although the salary of the actors of "Hero" is confidential, there is no impermeable wall, and Li Tang also has a general understanding. The salary of the male number one Li Lian is 3 million US dollars, which is still the price of his self-lowering salary, and it is said that his salary in Hollywood has reached 5 million US dollars.

Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yanyu, the two emperors and queens of the three major festivals in Europe, each received a salary of almost one million US dollars. As for Xiao Zhang, who is already well-known internationally, because he does not have many roles, and Director Zhang is her Bole, the salary is only 200,000 US dollars. And Uncle Daoming, who has no international reputation, is only paid 100,000 US dollars.

Look at everyone who collects US dollars, and it is Li Tang's turn to only have 800,000 yuan. This is still the result of Zeng Jia's arguments, it seemed to be a good price at the time, if he signed a month late, he would be able to rise to at least one million with the honor of Best Actor Award in the unit of Li Tang Venice Film Festival.

Of course, contentment is always happy, and you can't be too greedy. Besides, the movie directed by Zhang Yimou, who can participate, can play a rival role with the kung fu emperor Li Lian, even if he has no salary, he is even willing to stick to him.

The so-called remuneration is more of a respect and recognition for him.

Of course, Cheng Xiaodong's words are also exaggerated, and he hopes that Li Tang will perform better in the match with Li Lian. In fact, for the role of Changkong, Hong Kong investor Jiang Ershao has always been inclined to use Zhen Bullet.

The main reason here is that Director Zhang Yimou took a fancy to Li Tang from the beginning, and Mr. Zhang of the new picture also objected. After all, Hong Kong has already used Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yanyu, and Li Lian also belongs to the sphere of influence of the Hong Kong circle in a sense, which involves the issue of discourse.

As for Cheng Xiaodong, although he was very appreciative of Li Tang's marksmanship at the beginning, he was also very optimistic about Li Tang. But as a member of the Hong Kong circle, there are some things that are difficult to say, and it would be good to be neutral.

The most important thing now is Li Lian, if Li Lianlian is dissatisfied with Li Tang and insists on using Zhen Bullet, then Mr. Zhang and Director Zhang can only compromise, because the coffee position of others is there, and it is the box office.

It's just that Cheng Xiaodong can't tell Li Tangming these words.

Li Tang didn't know anything about the twists and turns, although he had already fused the memories of the original body, and had been trying to integrate into this era over the years, but he always had an American mindset more or less. always felt that everything would be fine if he signed the contract, if it wasn't for Cheng Xiaodong's reminder just now, he really thought that he would play the role of Changkong.

In China, there are not only laws but also sophistication, if Li Lianlian said that he was not suitable and asked for a replacement, the producer could only compromise.

So the question is, even if the producer compensates you according to the contract, do you dare to ask for it?

If you want it, maybe you will offend Director Zhang Yimou and the new picture, Shao Bin's experience is right in front of you. It was because he quit the crew with a salary compensation of one million yuan from the crew of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and now he is not only written into the book by Zhang Dabeard, but also mentioned this matter every time he participates in an interview or interview, and now not only in the circle, but also the people of the whole country know that Shao Bin plays a big name, and his reputation is about to stink on the street, and it is said that he has now fallen to the point where there is no drama to film.

What if the producer doesn't compensate you according to the contract? Do you dare to sue?

If you sue, you can get the compensation you deserve, but people are also offended by you. Who dares to use the weapon of the law to protect himself at every turn, then the road of actors has come to an end.

So Li Tang didn't dare to be complacent anymore, and used this time to soak in the gymnasium all day long, practicing tricks with Zhang Ai. When I have time, I will ask my martial arts brothers for a few tricks and ask for some kung fu.

So everyone found that the legend about Li Tang that circulated in the martial arts circle before was not a rumor, it was true, unless it was a fight for his life, otherwise with his on-the-spot reaction comparable to that of a sanda athlete and the strength of a heavyweight boxer, he really couldn't beat it.

It's just that this product is also very modest, and often asks them for advice on various boxing techniques, marksmanship, swordsmanship, and the like. They are all so-called martial arts champions, and there will always be a few tricks under their hands.

During this time, Li Tang has always been immersed in the atmosphere of training and learning new moves, and the best inheritance given to him by his parents in his previous life is that he is smart enough, has strong receptivity, and has a strong preoccupied Xueba gene, which makes it easy for him to focus on one thing without being affected by emotions and the surrounding environment.

During this time, as usual, he occasionally talked on the phone with Xiaopang, who was filming in Yunnan, to comfort and comfort the little girl's emotions, help her analyze the characters, and teach her some acting tricks or something.

As for Jiang Qinqin's side, he deliberately remained in a state of coldness and did not take the initiative to call over. As a result, this woman didn't even take the initiative to call. And I heard that she had temporarily left Peach Blossom Island a few days ago, and I don't know if what she said before counts, when she will come to visit the class.

Jiang Qinqin didn't come, but Director Zhang Yimou and Li Lianlian came to the crew a day earlier than planned.
