Chapter 267: The Emperor of Kung Fu
"Director!"
"Brother Jie!"
Li Lian is definitely the ceiling of martial arts athletes, and he is an all-around champion at the age of twelve. What is an all-around champion is anything. So no matter how much he usually brags about how powerful he is, he is a younger brother in front of Li Lian.
In addition, in terms of martial arts films, people are definitely a benchmark, and they have all mixed up in Hollywood and occupied a place. Of course, Cheng Long's eldest brother is not counted, Cheng Long's works in Hollywood are positioned in a strict sense, and can only be regarded as comedies, or comedy kung fu films.
Although the family first became an American citizen, and then joined the Li family. But it is undeniable that he is still the light of the Chinese, the first person in the field of kung fu films.
Therefore, the martial arts brothers were more excited to see Li Lian than to see director Zhang Yimou.
"This is Li Tang who plays the sky." Cheng Xiaodong followed to introduce to Li Lianlian.
"Brother Jie, hello!"
Li Tang hurriedly stretched out his hand, he was the first time in his life to see this kung fu emperor in reality, he was not tall, and his figure looked like he was quite thin, but he was definitely strong.
Wu Jing, Zhao Wentable, including Li Tang himself are all of this type, with a small skeleton, thin clothes, and meat in undressing.
"Hello!"
In my memory, Li Lian is a native of Beijing, but his Mandarin is not strong, which may have something to do with his long-term wandering.
He smiled and shook hands with Li Tang very politely, and did not deliberately say that he would try his strength while shaking hands. When I met for the first time, I didn't have any big stars, and I looked very easy-going.
"Director!"
Then Li Tang said hello to Director Zhang Yimou again.
Director Zhang is still the same, dark and lean, but his mental state is very good.
He shook hands with him with a smile on his face and said, "Xiao Li, I've worked hard lately." Oh yes, I almost forgot to congratulate you, the movie was a good shot. ”
"This time it's mainly lucky, Director Cheng Er's script is well written, the shooting is good, and he helps in all aspects." Li Tang hurriedly said modestly, and at the same time did not forget to mention Cheng.
"The Third Man" has been released, and the final box office is 9.6 million, but unfortunately it did not reach the 10 million mark. Originally, the issuer proposed to make up the difference by itself. This year's box office breaking 10 million is definitely a remarkable achievement, and it can be ranked in the top ten or even the top five of the annual domestic film box office.
took 400,000 yuan to buy the box office, although according to the return ratio of 30%, the actual cost was about 280,000. But Li Tang thought about it, he didn't want to fake, he was as much as he wanted, there was no need to slap a swollen face and become fat. Of course, the most important thing is to feel sorry for money, for a false name, let alone spending 280,000, even if he spends 28,000, he feels pain.
"The Third Man" is not a commercial film, but a literary film that won an award at the Venice Film Festival, and it can achieve a box office of 9.6 million, which is very interesting to insiders.
It is said that Cheng Er has received invitations from several film companies, hoping to sign a contract with him and direct a movie, and they have all offered a lot of conditions, and this guy who is engaged in social terror has no direction for a while.
Not long ago, this product actually called to ask for advice, and Li Tang happened to be having dinner with the martial arts brothers that day, and after listening to it, he sent him away in a few words. Besides, this kind of matter involving personal future, he is not good at expressing his opinions indiscriminately, and in the final analysis, he chooses to be responsible for his own future.
"Well, Cheng Er is a very thoughtful director." Director Zhang nodded in agreement.
is also a great director, when facing Zhang Yimou and Chen Dadao, there is this huge difference between Li Tang. Everyone is also polite, but Director Chen gives him the feeling that he is obviously superior, not that it is a matter of high or personality, it is simply to watch people put down dishes, and it is very empty.
And Director Zhang gives him the feeling that he is completely sincere, and when he gives you a conversation, he will always look at you, very seriously, rather than a perfunctory attitude.
At this time, while Li Lianlian was greeting the martial arts brothers, Director Zhang pulled Li Tang again and said softly: "Li Lianlian is going to fight against you in a while, no problem, right?" ”
Li Tang's training here, Cheng Xiaodong must have been angry with the director, including the usual training with a camera on the side to shoot tidbits, and the director must have seen it. So Director Zhang said hard work to him as soon as he came up, at least he was still very satisfied with his attitude.
The time of a big star is always precious, when Li Lian and Director Zhang appeared here, Li Tang was mentally prepared, and he was about to start filming, even if he was as strong as the emperor of kung fu, he had to set up tricks first, and run in to find out the feeling.
The movements are all designed, and after practicing for so long, Li Tang is of course very confident, and nodded and said, "Don't worry, director, no problem." ”
However, Director Zhang immediately instructed again: "Pay attention to safety, don't get hurt everyone." ”
"Uh...... Got it. ”
Sure enough, after a while, Li Lianlian came over: "Li Tang, let's set up a trick first." ”
"Good!"
Li Tang replied very simply, at this moment, Li Lianlian is not only an actor in the rival play, but also an examiner who decides to stay by himself, no matter how good the words are, it is useless, everything is based on strength.
And he himself really wants to fight this kung fu emperor to satisfy his fan mentality.
The two stood facing each other with their weapons.
Li Lian didn't say a word, drew his sword and rushed towards Li Tang.
Li Tang is an actor selected by Director Zhang, and he is not familiar with it, but Jiang Ershao mentioned this to him before, expressing his hope that Zhen Dan can play the role of Changkong. Of course, he is very familiar with Zhen Dan, and he has worked together before, and his kung fu is good. But after all, he has been in the circle for so many years, and he has gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, so he will naturally not be easily used as a gun. And Director Zhang Yimou is famous, he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of mess.
Of course, if Li Tang is really unbearable, he has something to say, and only in this way can he please both sides.
Perhaps because of Director Zhang's face, Li Lianlian's movements were not fast, and he made a move towards Li Tang at the speed of normal rehearsals.
"Dang!" was blocked by Li Tang with a spear.
Follow, progress stabbing the sword.
Li Tang's figure quickly retreated.
Li Lianlian pressed forward again and again, continued to fencing, and crossed the right fencing......
"When, when, when......"
In the blink of an eye, the two of them passed a few moves, and the first round ended.
As soon as the connoisseur stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.
Although it was just according to the normal rehearsal speed just now, Li Lianlian had already tested that Li Tang's kung fu was good, at least he was quite familiar with this set of moves, and the reaction was just right.
From this point of view, Li Tang is basically qualified to play the role of Changkong.
However, before he fought against Liang Chaowei and Zhang Yanyu, including Zhang Ziyi, who has always worked hard, to be honest, he was not happy at all, he was too tired. What's more important is that he can't act in literary dramas at all, but fortunately, Director Zhang is empathetic and paralyzed him throughout the whole process.
Now it's okay, he and Li Tang are playing all the time, and when they return to the field they are best at, they want to have a good fight, especially because Li Tang, a young man, seems to be pretty good, and wants to weigh each other's catties and taels, and by the way, he also teaches each other a lesson.
So, he opened his posture and smiled at Li Tang: "You don't have to be afraid of hurting me, use your full strength, just go ahead, I will cooperate with you." ”
Li Tang was inevitably stunned, and looked at Director Zhang and Cheng Xiaodong next to him.
Director Zhang showed a helpless expression, fortunately, Cheng Xiaodong knew the strength of the two, although Li Tang was good, but he was more confident in Li Lian, it was rare for the Kung Fu Emperor to be interested, so he nodded and said, "Be careful." ”
Seeing this, Li Tang knew in his heart, and besides, he was holding training props anyway, as long as he paid attention, it wouldn't hurt too much.
In the second round, according to the description in the script, the two had a battle of ideas, and it was his turn to make the first move.
He held a spear in his hand, shook the spear, and connected to Li is the upper flat gun.
His basic skills for this move are very solid, after all, it is not in vain to shake the gun and pierce the gun every day over the years, and the spear that stabs out is stable and ruthless.
Li Lian quickly blocked with his sword.
"Dang!"
Fortunately, he was not careless, he only felt a strong attack, and the sword in his hand almost didn't let go.
What a power!
Zhang Ai, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but secretly laugh, because in his usual training, he had to guard against Li Tang's move all the time, and if he was not careful, the sword in his hand would be shocked away. He had just noticed, and he had almost been hit.
In fact, he was looking forward to the sword in Li Lian's hand being shaken away, so it was not a shame that he was often rubbed by Li Tang. It's just a pity that the people are very experienced, and while blocking, one turned sideways to dissolve part of the power and didn't let the sword in his hand fly out.
At this time, Li Lian didn't have time to think about it at all, because Li Tang's second move came next, and the overlord in Liuhe marksmanship nodded. It's just that if you miss a hit, turn the gun into a stick, and smash it directly at the top of your head.
Li Lian didn't have time to block with his sword, so he subconsciously raised his scabbard, barely blocking Li Tang's attack.
This was not a designed action, Li Tang hurriedly took a step back and made a gesture to collect the gun.
Li Lianlian couldn't help but blush, he knew that he had underestimated the enemy just now, but he didn't expect Li Tang to come up with such a powerful gun. In order not to let the long sword in his hand fall out, he could only turn sideways to dissolve the power, but it was too late to block the second move with the sword according to the design, and in a hurry, he could only rely on the conditioned reflex to block with the scabbard of his left hand.
Obviously, he lost a move as soon as he came up, and seeing that Li Tang wanted to put away his gun and stop attacking, he hurriedly shouted: "Come, continue, that's it, very good!" ”
It sounded like he was encouraging Li Tang, but only he knew in his heart that it was just a cover-up, if Li Tang really stopped attacking, it would confirm the fact that he had lost a move. As the emperor of kung fu, there are still so many martial arts brothers watching at the scene, he can't afford to lose this person. At the same time, from this moment on, it also aroused his great competitiveness.
This scene is probably only seen by the experienced Cheng Xiaodong and Zhang Ai, who often have personal experience, and most people think that Li Lian did it on purpose.
Although the movements are designed, according to Li Lianlian's ability and qualifications, he himself is the best martial arts instructor.
Li Tang, like most people, thought that he had misunderstood, so he shook his spear and continued to attack Li Lian.
Retreat to pick up the gun, step up to split the gun, stand up and pick up the gun......
A move is as fast as a move.
This time, Li Lianlian was fully prepared and did not dare to be careless at all.
"When, when, when......"
After three moves, take the opportunity to counterattack.
Li Tang also felt the power transmitted by the sword in Li Lian's hand hitting the spear, and couldn't help but scream secretly: "Ashamed!" ”
Obviously, when I came up, people were merciful, and I actually misunderstood other people's mistakes, which really shouldn't be.
The Emperor of Kung Fu really deserves his name!
So he worked hard to deal with it.
Li Lianlian's counterattack, he only used one move to neutralize his offensive, followed by a move to neutralize the spear, turning defense into offense.
Li Lianlian did not follow the usual path, and made changes on the basis of designing good movements, no longer using the sword alone to attack and defend, but to attack with the sword and defend with the sheath, and the speed of offensive and defensive conversion accelerated all of a sudden.
Clearly, Lee Lian was looking for a step down for his previous mistakes. But not to mention, his set of sword as the attack and sheath as the defense, not only speeds up the attack and defense, but also greatly enhances the ornamentation.
Cheng Xiaodong was quite surprised at first, but after watching the two moves, he had to sigh that Li Lianlian was experienced. The action design is often changed during the filming process, and there may be some action actors who can't do it, or some actions don't look good and need to be adjusted temporarily. But most of the time, everything is based on the premise of being good and exciting.
Li Tang noticed the change in Li Lianlian's movements, fortunately, he had very rich experience on the spot, and his reaction was also fast, so in the face of Li Lianlian's offensive, he subconsciously used a move to block and defuse the opponent's offensive.
When he was about to take a step back according to the design, and was about to make an offensive regression to split the spear, Li Lian quickly jumped up, using the Taigong fishing in Qingping's swordsmanship, and slashed directly at Li Tang's head.
Li Tang could only hold a gun in both hands to block.
Li Lian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and a series of chaotic wind sweeping leaves in Qingping's swordsmanship swept the leaves frequently, and frequently swept towards Li Tang's waist.
This is no longer a designed trick, it is completely a duel between the two.
Li Tang was forced to be in a hurry, and he retreated again and again to block.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was able to block Li Lianlian's offensive.
And his series of passive defenses are in response to the knee-jerk blocking that Li Lian Jianfeng is pointing at.
Just as Li Tang retreated in embarrassment under Li Lian's aggressive attack, he suddenly saw him take a step back suddenly, squatting down with a spear in his hand and turning around.
Seeing this, Li Lian was immediately startled, and said that he was a living dictionary of martial arts, how could he not see that this was a horse pistol!
"Not good!"
Cheng Xiaodong, who had been watching the venue seriously, couldn't help blurting out that Li Tang's trick back to the pistol during the last audition left a deep impression on him.
But at this time, Li Lianjie was hitting Xing's head, and a set of Qingping swordsmanship was almost played by him, seeing Li Tang's hurried appearance, he was still secretly proud, and he could finally teach the young man a good lesson and save the face that he had just almost fallen to the ground.
When he saw that Li Tang had returned the carbine, it was too late, the distance between the two sides was so close that he couldn't dodge at all, and the sword that was stabbing out didn't have time to retract the block, so he watched Li Tang's spear stab over.
