Chapter 199 Mid-Autumn Festival, where is your weakness?

On January 1, the Knicks defeated the Bulls at home, and then on the 2th they defeated the Nets at home.

This is the second time the Knicks have defeated the Nets this season. In this game, the Nets were no longer able to take advantage of Nash's loophole.

After defeating the Cavaliers on the road on the 6th, the Knicks faced the Mavericks back-to-back at home on the 7th.

In this game, the Mavericks' back line defeated Nash and Wells, and Yao Ming played well, scoring 31 points and winning the game.

Soon, on the 9th, the Knicks lost again at home, losing to the Spurs who came from afar, 94:90, and ushered in two consecutive losses.

This time the Spurs had a complete lineup, with three defensive stalwarts, Tony Parker, Ginobili and Bowen, taking turns to double-team Nash, disrupting the Knicks' outside offense and to a certain extent cutting off the connection between Nash and He Zhongqiu.

At the same time, Duncan played well in the interior, scoring 28 points and 18 rebounds over He Zhongqiu, and blocked He Zhongqiu three times.

The regular season continues, and so does the All-Star voting.

He Zhongqiu's votes were better than last year's All-Star voting. He was leading in all positions in the league and had a gap with others from the very beginning, including Yao Ming, who also has Chinese votes. He is likely to become the All-Star vote king.

But unfortunately, there was a game on the day of the Golden Globe Awards, so he didn't have the chance to walk the red carpet. It was a bit regrettable because he hasn't walked the red carpet yet.

On the 12th, at Jiuzhaigou, one of the filming locations for The Return of the Condor Heroes, a group of shots were to be shot in a waterfall, where Liu Yifei was hanging on a wire and crossing the waterfall to chase Li Mochou.

Raymond Lam has filmed many martial arts dramas, including Fong Sai-yuk, Water Margin, The Book and the Sword, Swordsman, The Adventurers, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, etc.

Raymond Lam is most annoyed by action scenes, because some actors have no basic skills in fighting scenes, and one action scene takes several days to shoot, which delays the progress.

He thinks it is the same this time, because the heroine Liu Yifei is only 16 years old, and she has only filmed "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" before, and she does not have much experience in filming action scenes.

Today's scene is very important. It is Liu Yifei's first fighting scene. He has to cross a waterfall, and there is a deep pool and rapids below. It is very dangerous, and he is a little worried.

Before the shot of crossing the waterfall, there was a shot of the two of them fighting with swords, and the poses had been arranged according to his request.

"Not bad, Yifei. Your sword-holding technique and sword moves are both good. Have you learned them?" he asked in surprise.

"Well, Director Lin, I have studied martial arts, and this time I specifically learned swordsmanship from the monk." Liu Yifei said confidently.

"Big monk? Liu Yifei, you want to take a monk as your master, a monk from Shaolin Temple?"

Lin Feng was correcting Meng Guangmei's sword-holding posture, but Meng Guangmei was distracted when she heard Liu Yifei's words and asked in surprise.

"He Zhongqiu is Wolverine. He is not a monk, but he always shaves his head. I just call him the big monk." Liu Yifei explained.

"he?"

Everyone who heard it, including Raymond Lam, was very surprised.

"Liu Yifei, is it true that Wolverine is going to shoot a Hollywood blockbuster worth tens of millions of dollars?" Meng Guangmei asked hurriedly.

"Yes, it's true." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Wolverine taught you swordsmanship, so they must have a good relationship. Didn't he give you a role?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Liu Yifei shook his head and said, "No."

"Then your relationship is not very good." Meng Guangmei said.

When Liu Xiaoli, who was not far away, heard this, she knew that Meng Guangmei was criticizing her daughter.

But he is a big star in Hong Kong, and his pay for playing a supporting role is two or three times higher than that of his daughter, the leading actress. Although she is dissatisfied, she can do nothing about it.

Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that it was not very good. They had no contact information before. They exchanged mobile phone numbers when they practiced sword last time, and they rarely contacted each other. She was the one who called to make an appointment. The monk had never contacted her.

"Yeah, just ordinary friends." She nodded.

Meng Guangmei was speechless. Girl, I was trying to taunt you with my words, and this is your reaction?
"Okay, let's get ready to shoot." Lin Feng shouted at this time.

"Action."

Two minutes later, Lin Feng shouted.

According to the sword moves designed by the martial arts director, Liu Yi insisted on performing the move "White Crane Spreads Wings".

She moved her feet, unfolded the Seven Stars Flower Step, and in two steps she flashed to the left side of Meng Guangmei. Following the momentum of her body movements, she took advantage of the opportunity to perform a move called White Crane Spreads Wings.

Meng Guangmei didn't react at all and was still posing there.

The next moment, when the White Crane Spreads Its Wings sword move was fully launched, Liu Yifei flicked his wrist and the sword blade accelerated to hit Meng Guangmei's sword.

Swoosh! With a slight sword whistle, Meng Guangmei's sword was knocked away.

"what!"

Meng Guangmei screamed and was startled.

"Card."

Lin Feng quickly called a halt.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Liu Yifei apologized quickly.

Liu Xiaoli also hurried forward and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Meng, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

"It's okay."

Meng Guangmei, who had made a fool of herself, said unhappily.

"Not bad, Yifei, you have really practiced it." Lin Feng said in surprise.

"I've only practiced for a few months, but I'm not good enough yet." Liu Yifei said hurriedly.

Lin Feng imitated Liu Yifei's movements just now and asked, "Your body movements and footwork are pretty good, especially the wrist force movement when you drew your sword at the end. Was that taught to you by Wolverine?"

"Ah."

Liu Yifei nodded and said, “He asked Sister Xue and I to practice the basic sword skills, body movements and footwork, and finally the routines.

In particular, he said that we need to train our wrist strength. Without wrist strength, the sword will feel soft and powerless in our hands, and our sword moves will feel light and fluttery, without accuracy, power, or beauty.

"Not bad, not bad, Yifei, you have the potential to be a martial arts actress."

Lin Feng nodded approvingly and added, “I’ll learn a few more moves from Wolverine if I get a chance. I heard he’s a real kung fu guy.

He collaborated with Yuan Ba ​​Ye and Director Lin Dian on that film. Yuan Ba ​​Ye and Director Lin praised his kung fu highly, and their evaluation was no less than that of Li Lianjie. "

Hearing this, Meng Guangmei couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

Huang Xiaoming said enviously, "Yifei, tell Zhongqiu about it later. Let's practice a few moves with him, too?"

"Brother Xiaoming, you might as well talk to Sister Xue. Only the great monk listens to her words. He ignores me when I talk to him." Liu Yifei said in embarrassment.

Huang Xiaoming thought so too. When Liu Yi insisted on finding He Zhongqiu to learn sword, He Zhongqiu seemed reluctant.

Liu Xiaoli was a little depressed. Her daughter was getting close to He Zhongqiu, and she was worried that He Zhongqiu would eat her daughter until not even a bone was left. Now that He Zhongqiu disliked his own baby, she felt uncomfortable again.

Far away in Yanjing, Yang Xue had finished filming her scenes in The Sky of History and had joined another crew. After this drama was finished, she would film Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque in June.

She had already received the script of The Iron Eagle King sent to her by He Zhongqiu, but only her part.

Her character is customized, from the character's personality to the weapon she uses. Her personality is set to be innocent, romantic, and passionate, and her weapon is a sword.

Agent Lin Xue has already talked to the crew. She will be the first to shoot the scenes with Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque. It will take a month to finish filming, which will be completed in mid-July, and then she will go to the United States.

In Jiuzhaigou, Liu Yifei and Meng Guangmei had already tied the wires, ready to shoot the most dangerous scene of the aerial chase over the waterfall.

After taking two shots, Raymond Lam felt unsatisfied and prepared to take another one.

Liu Yifei and Meng Guangmei were shivering from the cold, and their hands and feet were a little clumsy, but the director requested that they only do one more take.

"Action!"

At Lin Feng's command, the two girls flew up and started chasing again in the waterfall.

"collapse!"

When Liu Yifei was crossing the waterfall, the wire suddenly broke.

"oops!"

In panic, she fell into the pool of water under the waterfall, and was then washed away by the rushing water. In the distance was a cliff with a drop of one hundred meters.

"Sissi! Sissi..."

When Liu Xiaoli saw this, she suddenly felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. Her vision went dark, her legs and feet went weak, and she staggered towards the pool of water.

"Hurry up and save them!" Lin Feng shouted as he saw it, and then a group of people rushed towards the pool.

Liu Yifei could swim. She struggled in the water and tried to swim to the shore, but the current was too fast. She was entangled in her ancient costume and her hands and feet were bound. The water was snow and very cold. Her body was almost stiff. She was washed to the middle of the shore, about seven or eight meters away. She could not swim out and began to choke on water. She was often swept into the rapids.

Fortunately, an assistant director was quick and ran to a shallow water area downstream in advance to stop the situation. He grabbed a long belt on Liu Yifei's body and dragged her. Then Huang Xiaoming also ran down and together they pulled her ashore.

After being rescued, Liu Yifei thanked everyone for their help, comforted his frightened mother Liu Xiaoli, and then continued filming after resting for a while.

January 1th, Yanjing.

Wang Baoqiang came to Huayi Company and prepared to sign the contract.

Da Wang and Feng Xiaogang were both there, as well as the female lead Li Bing.

He was so nervous that his hands were shaking when he signed the contract.

The king was a little worried. The investment in Tian Xia Wu Ze was not small, so he had to make sure it didn’t go wrong. He whispered, “Xiao Gang, can he do it?”

"Don't worry, he's the right character. This is the character we need for the role of Sha Gen," said Feng Xiaogang.

After signing the contract, he reminded him, "Wang Baoqiang, although the filming will start in April, you have to do your homework in advance, study the script, and think carefully about your role. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Wang Baoqiang nodded heavily, but immediately thought of going to the United States and said hurriedly, "Director, I have to go to the United States this month and will be back next month. Is that okay?"

"Why are you going to America?" The king frowned.

"That's it..."

Wang Baoqiang hurriedly explained it stammeringly.

"Wang Baoqiang, you said you have a good relationship with Wolverine?"

The king was very surprised and asked, "So good that he spent $200,000 to invite you to perform martial arts at the NBA All-Star Game?"

"Yes, it's true. After Wu Jing finishes filming his drama, we will leave for the United States. My passport and visa are ready." Wang Baoqiang said hurriedly.

The king, Feng Xiaogang and Li Bing looked at each other.
I spent over 10,000 yuan to find a young actor to act in the play, but he turned out to be Wolverine's friend. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had this connection?
The king took a look at the contract in Wang Baoqiang's hand and wanted to snatch it and tear it up.

"Well, Li Bing, take Baoqiang to visit our company while I talk to Director Xiaogang." said the King.

"Ok."

Li Bing stood up quickly.

"King, do you think that by using Wang Baoqiang, we have a chance to get a role from Wolverine?" asked the King.

Feng Xiaogang took a puff of his cigarette and then said, "It's hard to say, but if you want to use the character of Shagen to threaten Wolverine, you're probably overthinking it.

This is a multi-million dollar production, more than ten times the cost of A World Without Thieves. There has never been a domestic film with a bigger investment than this. Their company will not mess around.”

The king said unwillingly: "But this is indeed an opportunity! Besides, it's just an exchange. If we can't reach an agreement, forget it. How can it be a threat?

By the way, Huang Xiaoming from our company also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, so he must be familiar with Wolverine, Yang Xue, and Liu Yifei.

In exchange, let Huang Xiaoming play a role in his movie, what do you think? I think Wolverine would not object, right? "

Feng Xiaogang frowned and advised: "My lord, you can try to find a middleman."

The king nodded and decided to find Yang Xue and let Huang Xiaoming fight for it himself.

After talking to Da Wang on the phone, Huang Xiaoming, who was filming at the moment, was excited but also a little confused.

But after calming down, he felt that this was not something that could be done.

Because he knew very well that the relationship between He Zhongqiu and Wang Baoqiang was far inferior to that between Yang Xue, or even Wu Jing.

Yang Xue and Wu Jing both helped He Zhongqiu, but Wang Baoqiang was helped by He Zhongqiu. The meaning is different. He Zhongqiu does not owe Wang Baoqiang any favor.

Especially in the past few months, this group of people from the Beijing Film Academy helped Wang Baoqiang find some small roles, all because of He Zhongqiu's face. Wang Baoqiang owed He Zhongqiu a huge favor.

It would be a bit ridiculous to ask him to ask He Zhongqiu for the role now and make an exchange with Wang Baoqiang.

He Zhongqiu can help Wang Baoqiang with small things, but he doesn't think He Zhongqiu would exchange a role in a movie worth tens of millions of dollars for a role in a movie with an investment of only 30 million RMB for Wang Baoqiang.

Isn't this blackmail? He felt that the king was a little confused.

Besides, after the news of Wolverine's movie came out, all the people from Beijing Film Academy probably looked for Yang Xue, including him, but there was no chance at all.

Liu Yifei has a good relationship with Yang Xue and Wolverine, and also learns sword from He Zhongqiu. There is no role for her in this movie, let alone him?

He made up his mind not to discuss this matter with Yang Xue.

The little friendship he had with Yang Xue and He Zhongqiu had to be accumulated slowly and saved for use at the critical moment. This opportunity with such a small probability could not be wasted.

……

On January 1, Wu Jing and Wang Baoqiang arrived in Los Angeles, then met up with Zhang Jin and flew to New York the next day.

He Zhongqiu drove an SUV to the airport to pick people up. Several people got in the car and Wu Jing sat in the passenger seat.

He said, "Brother Jing, you and Brother Zhang should discuss what weapons to use and how to fight. Figure it out as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Wu Jing patted his chest, but then asked, "Who are the other two people?"

"Johnson, the superstar Johnson. Another Jason Statham, the guy who played the human trafficker." He Zhongqiu said.

"Wow, two top Hollywood action stars, you are so honored, Zhongqiu." Zhang Jin exclaimed.

Wu Jing was also surprised. He knew that in this sparring match, He Zhongqiu was fighting one against five people, and he was the absolute protagonist.

It is a great honor for Zhongqiu to have Hollywood's top action stars like Johnson and Statham as supporting actors. I'm afraid that Chenglong and Li Lianjie don't have such an honor in Hollywood, right?

He Zhongqiu glanced at Wu Jing and knew what he was thinking, and explained: "These two guys are very curious about our martial arts, otherwise they would not agree."

Wu Jing shook his head and said, "They are probably not curious about our martial arts, but about your Kung Fu, Wolverine."

He Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Jushi is big, he can be your meat shield, and he can use a shield and a single sword as weapons."

Zhang Jin said hurriedly: "This is a good idea."

Wu Jing said excitedly: "Mid-Autumn Festival, so this time we really need to design it carefully."

He Zhongqiu said: "In addition, we have to design wrestling moves for Jushi. He is a former wrestler. He is 195 cm tall and weighs about the same as me, 118 kg. He is muscular and very strong."

"it is good."

Wu Jing and Zhang Jin nodded.

He Zhongqiu said: "For Jason Statham, let's arrange for him to use a stick. It's simple and practical. If it's too complicated, I'm afraid he won't be able to practice well."

At this point, he added: "Everyone's weapons should be different, and the moves they use should be unique."

Wang Baoqiang said excitedly: "I use a knife, two knives on the ground, and specialize in the lower three routes."

Wu Jing said: "Then I will use a gun."

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Brother Jing won the national championship in spearmanship, so he should use a spear. As for me, I will use a sword. I like swordmanship."

Wu Jing smiled and said, "You are a Wuying level, what kind of weapon are you not good at?"

Wang Baoqiang asked curiously: "Zhongqiu, what weapon do you use?"

He Zhongqiu said: "I will start with my bare hands, using Eagle Claw and Iron Shirt to fight you, and then I will snatch your weapons and kill you."

"Empty-handed? Zhongqiu, don't get hurt?" Wang Baoqiang was a little worried.

Wu Jing said, "Bao Qiang, you still don't know much about Zhong Qiu. His iron shirt is too powerful. He can withstand sticks. Unsharpened swords and guns can do little harm to him unless they hit his weak spot."

"Zhongqiu, what's your weakness?" Wang Baoqiang asked curiously.

He Zhongqiu said unhappily, "Baoqiang, what the hell do you want to do by asking about my weakness? Do you want to go after my weakness when you hit me?"

"Haha..." Several people laughed.

"No, Zhongqiu, I just want to ask clearly, otherwise what if I hit your weak spot?" Wang Baoqiang said with a grunt.

"Just don't hit the vital points. The vital points are the weak points." Wu Jing said with a smile.
