Drunken Master

Zhuang Xiao's scenes should have passed quickly, but he was more unlucky, the big bosses were all playing with the male protagonist's opponents and fighting scenes.According to the plot, if the hero doesn't beat you, who will you beat?

However, as soon as the male protagonist appeared on the stage, the fight was endless.

Little classmate Tony is a good student who works hard and conscientiously. With an angry mouth and puffed cheeks, he learns movements while filming on the set. Zhuang Xiao is also one of the masters who taught him boxing.Tony looked stern from beginning to end, striding seriously, and sweating profusely as soon as he took a pose.It's not hot, he's nervous in front of the heroes.

Pei Yan had already begun to deliberately sit on the chairs, drinking her own pot of tea to soothe the nerves, but sitting on Zhuang Xiao's chair, watching monkeys.

He watched those people taking pictures over and over again.

To be fair, this film is still about "Drunken Master", and Chinese kung fu is vividly displayed; and, of course, it is displayed on the male protagonists, not on their group of villains.But the problem is that only the hero is the worst one in the audience.

Wu Zhi took the trouble to explain and demonstrate in person. Tony punched, kicked Zhuang Xiao's thigh, and kicked in the air. He didn't kick firmly, and the sole of his foot slipped. CUT!

Zhuang Xiao slashed his elbows to his knees, Tony blocked and retreated, "slap", he couldn't stand still and was knocked into the air by Zhuang Xiao, the director shouted NONONO that's not the case!

Drunken Fist pays attention to swaying from side to side, with seemingly chaotic footsteps, lifelike drunk shape, and rapid punching.But our classmate Tony, the steps are really messy, he staggered and bumped into Zhuang Xiao, and Zhuang Xiao had to carry this person, secretly making up for the opponent's messy steps, so as to avoid going through the gang.

Pei Yan frowned and said in her heart: Damn, let me come later.

Fei Cha shouted NG again, turned around and threw the script angrily.

Sha Yunfei is a well-known martial artist, nicknamed "Flying Sage" in the circle, he has mentored many young actors, and many stars respectfully call him "Master".He turned his head and cursed in Chinese, "Fucking trash", but the other party couldn't understand anyway.

Tony's face turned pale, and a group of assistants surrounded the handsome boy to wipe his sweat and discuss in low voices.No one wants to affect the filming progress due to their own mistakes, even if you are willing to reshoot over and over again, the entire crew is waiting for you, and you can't afford to waste time.

Tony is a handsome young man with black hair, white and clean, and because of the one-eighth Asian mixed race, he has oriental delicacy.Pei Yan also thinks that, to be fair, this kid is pretty good-looking.With a lollipop in his mouth, he couldn't stop eating. He might feel dizzy. The child was almost suffering from hypoglycemia. Every time he saw Master Sha walking towards him, his legs would go limp.

As long as this person doesn't make martial arts dramas, he is very popular, and he can pass the lines and performances of literary dramas.

Riding a motorbike with a cigarette in your mouth, being handsome, and making a quick glance, you can arouse the whistling around you. This is your inherent charm.The Facebook and Twitter traffic stars on the other side of the ocean, no wonder they can play the male number one.

As soon as they patted the movement, they became a ball of blindness, and the whole group was also blinded.

Tony's team was discussing in a low voice at this time, wondering if they were looking for the director's suggestion: stop filming martial arts, let's change all the sex scenes, or sex scenes are easier!The bed scene that Mr. Zhuang doesn't want to do, we are not in harmony, we are willing to do it!

In the next shot, the two are standing on the very narrow handrail of the balcony of the prop, similar to standing on a balance beam. Zhuang Xiao needs to punch fiercely, Tony blocks it, and then kicks the villain leader flying away and off the balcony.

Pei Yan was squatting behind the big director in a "migrant worker squatting" position, on Zhuang Daxia's chair, staring intently, Tony's kick did not kick Zhuang Xiao away.

The kick was directly crooked, Zhuang Xiao thought that it would be too late for him to fly out, and he was kicked hard to some part of the inner thigh.

Zhuang Xiao seemed to snort, his expression was not right, he jumped off the balcony and walked away clutching his crotch.

Pei Yan jumped up from the chair: "Fuck..."

Such an action in the kindergarten class of a martial arts school is almost fatal.Zhuang Xiao then bent down, with a painful expression on his face, today is really fucking evil.

Tony's face also turned green, he was very embarrassed, and even said a few words "Sorry! Iamsosorry!".

It wasn't intentional, he couldn't kick it so accurately on purpose.

Pei Yan put on a towel and ran forward and squeezed into the crowd, but before he could catch up, Sa Risheng had already gone to wipe his boss's sweat.

"Is something wrong? Did you hit the kick?" Xiao Sa bent down and stroked his back, asking with concern.

"Take a break..." Zhuang Xiao said in a low voice, bending over to support himself.

This is the case with martial arts movements. No matter how high your martial arts are, it is useless, and you can't really kill the opponent with three punches and two kicks.You can't guarantee that the person standing opposite you is a complete idiot, a pig-like opponent!

Really want to kick dead pig opponents.

Sa Risheng threw the towel: "Let me do it."

Zhuang Xiao waved his hand: "Take a break for 10 minutes."

Sa Risheng said: "I will fight for you!"

The taciturn Comrade Xiao Sa expressed his anger with squinting eyes. Such a simple action in the kindergarten class can beat a pig. Why is the little white chicken on the opposite side so stupid.

Zhuang Xiao said, "It's a close-up showing your face."

Pei Yan interrupted and said, "Anyway, there is an awesome post-production team. It seems that the post-production special effects don't cost money. Let them cut out the pictures and change your head! I'll help you go back to the car to rest, and let Xiao Sa do it for you."

Zhuang Xiao waved to him, but didn't go back to the car to rest.

Must have tiptoed there.Enduring the pain for 10 minutes, straightened up, and finished shooting the action until the director shouted "pass".

……

It was the first time for Pei Yan to join such a crew for filming. She has gained a lot of knowledge, and her perception of many things is also very different from before.He didn't expect that Zhuang Xiao had been in the United States for several years, and that's how he was in the Hollywood crew.

There is no difference in the treatment between big-name stars and newcomers, no one tout you and carry you up, no domestic crew treats the famous actors in the group with the same care, kneeling and licking as stars and moons, and even the filming process and atmosphere are very different.Everyone is paid to work in the shed on time, and get off work when the time comes, and they don't stay up late to work overtime. The work is extremely rigorous and stylized, but alienated and indifferent.

After work, we went back to our respective homes, and instead of getting together, a few Yankees asked Tony to go to the bar to drink and socialize.Fight scenes are filmed like shit, but those people belong to a circle of life, and Chinese faces will always be marginalized and rigid cultural symbols.

In Pei Yan's mind, Zhuang Xiao is the "No.1" in the Chinese kung fu circle. Although the outside world has not sealed it and there is no public opinion, this is the top hat he puts on Zhuang Xiao, and he has a public opinion in his heart.

But reality is so imperfect it's frustrating.In today's situation on the set, as long as the male lead is replaced by him or Zhuang Xiao, or even Sha Yunfei and Sa Risheng, the kung fu foundation is still there, and a set of classic kung fu routines can be played beautifully, flowing smoothly and pleasing to the eye. Fool the audience who bought tickets to enter the theater.

But the crew did not choose Zhuang Xiao or Pei Yan.Who are you?won't use yours.

Why stay here?Who doesn't enjoy the stars holding the moon?

In one's circle of people, at least he is a well-known role, and someone praises him.

Is foreign soy sauce good?Whoever drinks it knows the taste.Anyway, Zhuang Xiao spends most of his time here, seldom hangs out in the country, occasionally participates in acquaintance's film, and rarely participates in publicity. If he doesn't release news, he doesn't like to show up...

Tony got into Zhuang Xiao's RV and apologized in a friendly way.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries and made a few jokes that were neither painful nor itchy.Tony said to treat you to dinner later to make amends, and Zhuang Xiao agreed.

The relationship between the actors in the circle is like this, everyone is a friend of gentlemen, neither too affectionate nor easy to turn against anyone.

Pei Yan waited outside the car, as if queuing up, and he was the last one to go in after Tony, the assistant director, the cameraman, and the crew finished offering condolences in turn.He probed in and saw that in the RV, Zhuang Xiao was lying on the cot, took a bag of ice cubes, opened his shorts, and rubbed his crotch.

"What about the ice pack?" Pei Yan asked.

Zhuang Xiao gave him a flat look, didn't you see it, kid?

The rest of the production crew tried to express their condolences, but Pei Yan never took it easy: "Tsk, did you hit the kick? Did it fly?"

Zhuang Xiao gave him a white look: "The man didn't fly, the egg flew."

"Oh, it's broken!" Pei Yan looked serious, "It's not a small price to play the villain, you can rest in the car tomorrow, and I'll do it for you."

"Forget it, you." Zhuang Xiao knew that Pei Yan was just gossiping to make him happy, "You get black feet for me?"

"I'll kick him for you—whose feet can be as black as mine? Let's see who kicks whom?!" Pei Yan took advantage of the opportunity and sat down beside Zhuang Xiao's bed, looking at him.

Zhuang Xiao smiled.

Pei Yan was very happy. Mr. Zhuang joked with him, and when he smiled, he showed a dimpled expression, his hair was loose, and he was lying half sideways on the bed, with three buttons missing from his collar... What a stunner, so damn good-looking .

Pei Yan said, "You won't hide when he kicks over? You hit me twice last time, I think you're pretty neat."

Zhuang Xiao snorted: "Can it be the same? You have a routine of punching and kicking, which was taught by the master of the sect. As soon as you move, I know where you will kick... What about him? Is that kid accurate with his feet? He The kick is too crooked!"

Zhuang Xiao didn't have so much whining and nonsense with Xiao Sa just now, Pei Yan laughed.

"Have you never suffered such a loss?" Pei Yan gloated.

"Really not." Zhuang Xiao snorted, "Just wait, you will be in the next game."

"Then I have to protect my egg, this important treasure! This little salary is not worth it when I go bankrupt!" Pei Yan leaned back with a grin, smiled, and half-lyed on the car bed, "I have to let Gentlemen of the clothing team, make me a leather case to protect my crotch before I dare to go on stage."

The two chatted happily for a while, and Pei Yan said: "I won't ask you to go out for dinner and drink today. If you eat spicy food, you will get angry, and the wound will hurt easily. Let's try another day."

Zhuang Xiao nodded: "Success, another day."

The crew dining car serves evening snacks and meals, which are freshly baked Mexican chorizo ​​hot dogs.

Pei Yan went to the dining car to get six hot dogs, and yelled at Zhuang Xiao's RV from a long distance: "Hey, what sauce do you want?!"

The person in the RV opened the window and yelled at him: "You can make it whatever you want, it won't taste good!"

Pei Yan squeezed a little bit of each of the row of sauces provided by the enthusiastic Mexican aunt.Red, orange, yellow, and green sauces add a bit of interest to boring food.

He brought a big plate of hot dogs into the car, and Zhuang Xiao frowned when he saw it: "I told you, it's not tasty."

"I'm really hungry, I can't wait for dinner, this is meat anyway." Pei Yan said, "Don't waste too much, eat a little."

Zhuang Xiao said: "You take it first, take away your favorite food."

Pei Yan said: "You pick, I can do it."

Zhuang Xiao said: "It's all the same to me, you choose first."

Pei Yan picked it up and took a big bite, chewing for a while: "Damn it... it's really unpalatable!"

Zhuang Xiao: "What did I say? You can change to another one, and I'll eat this."

Pei Yan: "I ate half of it, and I haven't finished it yet. You can change that."

Zhuang Xiao: "That brown sauce is sweet, and that one is the worst. I'll eat that one."

Pei Yan: "The green sauce is spicy! Don't eat the spicy one."

Zhuang Xiao: "Who told you to put so much chili sauce?"

Pei Yan: "Fuck, how did I know that jalapeños can be so hot? The green ones are so hot!!"

Laughter erupted in the van, double-voiced laughter overlapping.Pei Yan complained while eating: "It's so fucking unpalatable! What kind of taste, the worst hot dog I've ever eaten..."

Cursing while eating, he actually cleaned up a plate of unpalatable fast food.The good mood stimulated the appetite, and I ate all the dishes, and the bread crumbs were not wasted.

……

That night, during the regular internal meeting of the crew chiefs, they also quarreled over an important issue.

Fei Cha slammed his notebook in front of the producer, and before I went up to beat him up, I was already vomited by that idiot!There is no way to shoot, and it takes more than a dozen fucking shots to pass a shot, a waste of time, manpower, and film!The progress is out of control!

The producer and film agent sat at a small table, holding on to their cigars, and discussing with the director. It was no big deal. This is how popcorn blockbusters are shot these days. How many people have real skills?The chest muscles are painted after pasting, relying on special effects, post-production and editing effects.Otherwise, for a great director like you with profound skills and rich experience, where is your ability reflected?

The superb and fierce fighting scenes are all cut out after all; the handsome muscles and the bloody eyes are all drawn on the computer in the later stage!

So, boy Tony was beaten to pieces by professional martial artists on the set, and cut to a horrible extent. When the movie was released, after some post-processing, the male number one was still the most powerful and domineering, and all the fragmented shots could be edited into smooth and smooth Routine, enough to fool ordinary audiences in North America.

Can the audience see who will fight?

The heroine of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" played so beautifully and popular in the movie back then, would she know how to fight?

Fei Cha said at the time that the budget was going to be overrun, so don't blame me.

The producer said, fuck it, the budget should be controlled as much as possible.

Fei Cha said, let’s not talk about going out on location next week, going to the sea, and going to the island, but just say that in these key scenes, a double must be used, and the special effects will be cut out later to change the head, and it will cost money!

The producer thought, tsk, professional martial arts are not too expensive, right?These guys are cheap!

Fei Cha picked up the script, I think Ian Pei is quite suitable, the key is that the age and figure are similar, the face shape is the same, the shoulders are broad and the legs are about the same length, and it is easy to cut out pictures. I think he is very suitable for Tony!

Pei Yan didn't expect the quiet change of the production process.

When he joined the group again on the following day, the director directly called him and Zhuang Xiao together, and re-shot a series of shots of Tony and Zhuang Xiao fighting fiercely on the balance beam on the balcony yesterday.

In the crew, nothing is impossible. Pei Yan wore the costume of the leading actor, and wore a black wig that matched Tony's hair color.

The moment the director called ACTION, a series of boxing routines dazzled the onlookers. Pei Yan directly responded to Zhuang Xiao with a trick of "persuading him to change the drink", and his knuckles were pinched slightly by himself.

Finally found a chance, Zhuang Xiao was still unable to fight back according to the script, his chin took his hand, and quickly retreated and staggered to pretend to be defeated.Pei Yan made progress and fought again, his tossing steps seemed to be chaotic but not chaotic, he first raised his elbows and then swung his palms, firmly gaining the upper hand, quite arrogant...

After the last move, he didn't let Zhuang Xiao fly out, and grabbed the opponent by the chest!

And Zhuang Xiao also pinched his arm, and after a short lean back in the air, Zhuang Xiao slowly receded back with the strength of his waist, and the two looked at each other...

What was supposed to be a fragmented splicing actually allowed the two of them to make a one-minute long shot, step by step, without leaking, and the eyes of the director and the people around him were rounded.

When the old guy called to stop, he threw the script again, blasted a few vulgar FUCKs, and then came to bump fists with them: "Very good! This is what I want, I want this one."

To ask for this means that the broken shots taken by Tony yesterday will not be used, let the post-production prepare to burn money!

And that's just the beginning of today.

After another blockbuster shot, even Zhuang Xiao found it tricky. Sha Yunfei's team directly told the director that this shot couldn't be done by actors, and that we needed to use our martial arts doubles or professional stunt actors.

This action is the male number one lone hero fighting against the mob of the criminal group in the scrap car factory. With superhuman courage and stunts, he jumps high and low obstacles, dodges several cars in a row, does a backflip on the high wall, and makes a car A car speeds past me...

Wu Ti's skill is good, and the driver's speed and distance must be properly controlled.

The martial artists of the banker's class lined up in a line. According to the original design of the action, they have been tested many times, and the design measures the best running route and driving trajectory.

The people from the production side have been holding a small meeting with the director to discuss, it seems very serious, it is to decide a big matter.

Pei Yan lowered her head to wrap bandages on her forearm and calf, and squinted at those big guys. She couldn't tell if she had any expectations, although she felt that the possibility was very small...

Ha ha.

After all, the production team has been preparing for a long time. After nearly two weeks of filming, it would cost a huge amount of money to change the leading role and start over.

Zhuang Xiao stood opposite him, squinted at the director and producer from a distance, and then glanced at Pei Yan.

Zhuang Xiao's expression was not so optimistic and full of fantasy.Some expectations are actually unrealistic...
