"Blue Dragon Izuku Water Serial Gun."
"Block right and left and run to the middle hall."
"The lion turns his head and covers his lower part."
…
"The strange python turned back and ran up its throat."
"Stop, stop! What the hell is this 'strange python looking back and running towards its throat' trick of yours? How many times have I told you, you must turn around quickly, the tip of the gun is pointed upward at a ten-degree angle, you can only stab the chest. I'll do it again I’ll demonstrate it to you once, watch carefully, just once!”
Master Wu held the white wax pole in his hand, walked steadily, then turned around quickly, drew a semicircle in the air with the white wax pole in his hand, and stabbed diagonally upward.
The white wax rod trembled and buzzed, which showed the power of this shot.
Master Wu retracted his pole, then looked at Li Tang seriously: "Did you see clearly?"
Li Tang nodded honestly and said, "See clearly."
"Well, do it again!"
Li Tang remembered the essentials of the movements this time, turning around, drawing circles, and thrusting.
Master Wu finally nodded with satisfaction, "Well, not bad, let's continue."
"Oolong and swaying to defend left and right."
"The wild horse jumped into the stream and hit the gun."
…
After using a set of Tai Chi Thirteen Spears, Master Wu was not very satisfied and pointed out several minor flaws. Then he said that he would continue to work hard and practice for another two or three years before he can become a teacher.
Li Tang nodded in agreement, thanked Master Wu for his guidance, and said he would practice hard in the future.
Just when Master Wu was looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, showing off his master's demeanor, he saw a fat white head sticking out from the door of the east wing: "Man, the food is ready!"
"Hey, come on!"
When Master Wu heard this, he immediately stopped posing, threw the pewter pole in his hand towards Li Tang, and ran over.
Li Tang took a piece of dry cloth and wiped the two white wax poles carefully, mainly to wipe away the remaining sweat stains on them, and then put them away.
After washing my hands and wiping my face, I came to the east wing. The dishes were already on the table. Cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried mutton with green onions, mackerel stewed in soy sauce, etc. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they looked colorful and fragrant. All are excellent, and it is tempting to eat.
Master Wu, oh, Wu Jing must have been eager to eat it now. He stuffed a bite of fried mutton with green onions into his mouth, chewed it twice and nodded sharply: "Brother Qian, I haven't seen an improvement in my craftsmanship in half a year!"
As he said that, he shouted to the little girl who was no more than eighteen or nineteen years old and was making dumplings by the stove: "Sister-in-law, you have been trained well!"
The little girl rolled her eyes at him and said rudely: "I've made so many delicious things that I can't stop your mouth!"
Yu Qian turned on the Maotai in his hand and whispered to Li Tang who had just sat down: "Teacher Li, can you see, this guy is so annoying!"
Li Tang immediately nodded to him in sympathy.
Yu Qian seemed to have instantly opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. His momentum was high. He straightened his back and said to Wu Jing: "Man, let's continue Teacher Li's treasure land and fine wine today. We two brothers have to have a good chat."
Of course Wu Jing didn't give in. She slapped the table and said, "Let's just talk. Who is afraid of whom?"
But seeing Li Tang looking malicious, the guy hurriedly said: "Two versus one doesn't count!"
In fact, everyone is just joking for fun.
Last time in Suzhou, Li Tang happened to meet Yu Qian, who played the unscrupulous magistrate Wei Minzhong in "Li Wei Becomes an Official", and the two had a very good chat. If you don't chat, you won't know. After chatting, you will find that the two of them actually have a common friend, Wu Jing.
When I came to the capital this time, Wu Jing just happened to be on vacation after filming Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan". So I made an appointment with Yu Qian and his wife to come to the small courtyard as guests. Originally we were going out to eat, but Brother Qian felt that the kitchen equipment here was fully equipped and it would be more convenient and affordable to cook it by himself, so he took his wife to show his hand.
It is said that Fan Xiaopang no longer lives here. On the one hand, she was bored after living alone for a long time. On the other hand, as Xiaopang Fan grew older and cuter, she seemed to have got a new toy, so she decided to move. Go home.
Alas, she is indeed a scumbag.
And unfortunately, she just left Beijing a few days ago to film a movie. It is said to be a period emotional drama by Hai Run, and it is a guest appearance. After all, I just acted in someone else's play, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to go, and I won't be back for another week.
As for Li Tang, he has already met director Xiao Teng. Director Xiao Teng is now busy building a crew, and he is now the production director and executive director. As for the director himself, it was also unfortunate that he took the photographer to northern Shaanxi for location scouting, and Li Tang did not see him.
Because he was playing a policeman, Li Tang originally wanted to experience life, but director Xiao Teng quickly stopped him, saying that he was playing a dumb young trainee policeman, and he just wanted to act like he didn't understand anything.
As for the actor who plays the old policeman, it is Public Security Li from "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", which can be regarded as a tribute to director Zhang Yimou. The fraudster is played by director Feng Xiaogang's favorite actor, Fu Biao, an actor from the Railway Art Troupe who has performed outstandingly in "Endless" and "A Sigh".
Then Li Tang was added to form the trio in "The Escort Story".
If you just look at the quality of the actors, no one may believe that this is just a movie with an investment of over one million. So this is Power!
"The dumplings are here!"
Brother Qian’s daughter-in-law, Xiaobai, brought over a large plate full of dumplings.
"Sister-in-law, stop working so hard, sit down and eat together!" Li Tang greeted hurriedly.
"It's okay, there's another soup, it'll be ready soon. Hey, how do you guys taste this dumpling first?"
Although Brother Qian's daughter-in-law is young and has just turned 20 this year, she is elegant and graceful, without the pretentiousness or coquettishness of a little girl at all, which makes people feel good about her.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Jing immediately answered with a smile: "The dumplings made by my sister-in-law must be delicious."
As a result, without saying a word, Xiaobai directly picked up Brother Qian's wine glass and said to Wu Jing: "Brother Jing, come here, I'll pay you respects on behalf of our old man Yu. I wish your new movie will be a hit and your career will be taken to the next level!"
Look, Li Tang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "It's great!"
Xiao Bai took the cup and touched it lightly with Wu Jing, then Xiao Erliang drank all the white wine in one gulp. Wu Jing looked like she had a big head, but she had to do it. After drinking, she quickly took a sip of vegetable wine.
This guy is fine with slow drinking, but not fast drinking. If someone drinks two or three more drinks with him in a row, he will definitely fall down.
Fortunately, Brother Qian didn't add insult to injury, but said with a relieved look, "Yeah! There's nothing I can do about that fat little black guy trying to bully me on stage. If you try to bully me offstage, someone will take care of you."
Li Tang was delighted when he heard it. Although he had never heard the cross talk between Brother Qian and his partner Xiao Hei Fatty in person, he had heard Wu Jing talk about it and it was said to be very funny.
However, when it comes to the movie that Wu Jing just finished filming, Li Tang is inevitably a little curious. "The Legend of Shushan" directed by Xu Ke has been reported in the news for a long time. It is said that it has a huge investment, a large number of stars, and a large number of today's most advanced special effects technology.
Think about it, even Zhang Ziyi, who is currently the most popular in the mainland, can only play a supporting female role in it, and the character called Lian Xing played by Wu Jing is even more male. Despite this, Wu Jing is very happy to be involved in what is said to be the most heavily funded film in Hong Kong's history.
Although Hong Kong movies have begun to decline, at least currently mainland movies are far behind Hong Kong movies in terms of investment scale and technological elements. Although films like those directed by Zhang Yimou and Director Chen have repeatedly won awards internationally, they show more of their humanistic and artistic values rather than the so-called commercial blockbusters that are currently mainstream internationally.
The total investment of "The Legend of Shushan" directed by Xu Ke is said to be more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, while the total investment of a so-called big production currently being worked on by Director Teng Wenji, director Xiao Teng's father, is only 1,500 Hong Kong dollars. There is a big gap between the two. There are six or seven times as many.
"Is your movie about to be released during the Spring Festival this year?" Li Tang asked.
Wu Jing shook her head and said, "It's early. I heard from Director Xu that the stunt shots will take at least half a year to complete."
When Li Tang heard this, he was inevitably surprised and said: "How many stunt shots do you have in this movie?"
Wu Jing shook his head and said: "I'm not too sure, but it is said that there are more than a thousand."
"A thousand?"
To be honest, Li Tang couldn't believe it. The memory of his previous life told him that the so-called film industry in the 21st century refers to the large number of special effects used in movies.
To give the most intuitive example, the Hollywood science fiction action blockbuster "The Matrix", which was just released at the beginning of the year, has only more than 400 special effects shots in total. And Xu Ke's "The Legend of Shushan" actually has more than a thousand stunt shots. Think about it, what is the concept?
Li Tang couldn't help but look at Wu Jing, who was a little confused. He touched his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
He didn't know that what Li Tang was thinking about at this time was the science fiction blockbuster "The Wandering Earth" that he shot in 18 years and showed the capabilities of the Chinese film industry for the first time. The film only had more than a thousand stunt shots. There are about two thousand of them.
Second update, I had diarrhea last night and am in very bad condition today. But I still have the audacity to ask for a vote.
