Chapter 156 I Thought Lao Kuang Was Bragging, but He Was Actually Being Modest?

Soon, the time came to the 20th.

The core members of the crew and the actors with more roles arrived in Shanghai.

From November 21st to December 10th, these 20 days were still the preparation period.

In the first 10 days, the director and the director of photography rehearsed the play in Shanghai Film and Television City, looking at the scenery and finding the shooting angle. At the same time, the art team continued to arrange the pig cage village.

In the last 10 days, the arrangement of the pig cage village was completed.

The crew went to the pig cage village to rehearse the play and look at the scenery, determine the shooting angle and lighting, etc.

Time passed day by day, and it was December 5th in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Chen Xiao came to the pig cage village and changed into a white shirt and black pants.

Today, we have to try the fight scene with the Fire Cloud Evil God and the Axe Gang.

During the official shooting, this scene will use hundreds of extras. But only a dozen came today. A dozen extras from the martial arts hall came to gesture with him, so that the photography team could determine the shooting angle and the general effect.

Ten minutes later, the parking lot.

Kuang Shaoyi got off the bus with his bag on his back, and as soon as he got off, he saw two familiar faces walking towards the exit.

One was Fang Rong.

The other was Zou Zhen, a teacher from the Magic City Martial Arts School. He had met him several times at martial arts exchange meetings. He had just gotten off the bus and was walking towards the exit, followed by a dozen young people.

He met the other two groups on the road, greeted each other, and walked towards the Pig Cage Village together.

Just after leaving the parking lot, Zou Zhen looked at Zhulong City and sighed, saying:

"Brother Kuang, I communicated with the casting director Sun a week ago, and he said that I could use some real kung fu. But I'm still worried."

As he said that, he looked at the strong students behind him, and then looked at Kuang Shaoyi, "Although these students have only been in school for two or three months, they also have some skills. If they hurt Director Chen, we... Hey, I'm really worried."

Kuang Shaoyi patted his shoulder, "It's okay. Under my guidance, Director Chen has made rapid progress, no problem!"

Listening to Kuang Shaoyi's voice with a hint of praise, Zou Zhen couldn't help but frown.

Sighed secretly in his heart.

Oh my God, it's true that money can make the devil push the mill, and without money, you can be a devil pushing the mill.

People like Kuang Shaoyi can flatter in order to return to the screen.

He laughed awkwardly: "Brother, you are... a lot more smooth."

Kuang Shaoyi had a blank expression, "Smooth? I'm telling the truth."

"Heh, shallow, shallow." Fang Rong snorted.

Kuang Shaoyi looked down on him to begin with, and he immediately felt provoked when he heard this, "What do you mean? Do you think my apprentice can't beat them?"

"I think Director Chen can definitely knock them down directly!"

Hearing this answer, Kuang Shaoyi snorted coldly.

This answer surprised him, but it also felt expected. After all, Fang Rong is a flatterer.

Zou Zhen on the side shuddered, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth down, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the two with disdain.

Ah~too fucking corny.

What a flatterer.

He heard that Chen Xiao had strict management of the crew, and thought it would be clear.

Now it seems that this is still the norm in the entertainment industry. Everyone coaxes and flatters the boss of the crew, and flatters crazily.

After being taught by Kuang Shaoyi for a few days, he can knock down more than a dozen people? Why don't you say that he can represent the country in the World Wushu Championships?

I can't stand it, a bunch of flatterers.

...

Soon, the time came to nine o'clock.

In the courtyard of Pig Cage Village.

Sixteen martial arts school students dressed in the black suits of the Axe Gang and transformed into the Axe Gang's younger brothers.

Chen Xiao was no longer himself, but a martial arts genius who opened up the Ren and Du meridians, the nameless "he".

The camera was turned on.

Fang Rong shouted: "Action!"

Fang Rong, Kuang Shaoyi, and Zou Zhen sat in front of the monitor, watching the picture.

His eyes were clear and firm.

The Axe Gang's younger brother swung his axe at him, and he leaned back slightly, his feet moving lightly, as smooth as water. Then he punched the black-clothed younger brother in the abdomen.

The Axe Gang's younger brothers followed one after another and launched a series of fierce attacks.

He always defended and counterattacked at the shortest distance at the last moment. The movements were simple and effective, and every interception just interrupted the opponent's offensive.

The front hand straight punch was as fast as lightning, and each blow was aimed at the opponent's vitals.

The Axe Gang's younger brothers surrounded him, and a serious look gradually emerged in their eyes.

Two seconds later, everyone rushed forward.

He dodged back and accurately hit the left brother's leg with a low side kick, making the opponent lose balance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he moved to the side and launched more than a dozen consecutive attacks, each punch and kick was full of explosive power.

...

In front of the monitor, the three people were dumbfounded.

Especially Zou Zhen, he had given up the monitor and stared straight at the center of the yard.

He was very worried now, more worried than before.

Not worried about Chen Xiao getting hurt, but Chen Xiao should hurt the students!

He sighed and looked at the expressionless Kuang Shaoyi with worry.

He was wrong, Kuang Shaoyi was still the arrogant Kuang Shaoyi.

He actually called this level "no problem"? This is simply the level of a professional martial arts coach, right?

I thought he was bragging, but he was actually being modest.

How could he know that Kuang Shaoyi was also confused.

When rehearsing a month ago, Chen Xiao was not at this level.

How come after going to Cannes and coming to Shanghai for ten days, his skills have improved so much?

Kuang Shaoyi frowned and thought for a while.

He remembered that Sun Li said that Chen Xiao had a good physique.

Could he really be a martial arts genius?

Fang Rong heard him slowly take a breath, crossed his legs proudly, and raised his mouth slightly.

"Did you see that? Am I right? It's absolutely amazing!"

Kuang Shaoyi frowned and asked, "How do you know?"

"The trust of my companions!"

"Come on, you're just talking nonsense. Not a word of truth."

After hearing what he said, Fang Rong curled his lips, and analysis proved that he was not talking nonsense.

"This is my experience summary, not nonsense. I guess he should have lived with his grandparents since he was a child. There should be people in the arts among his grandparents, who often took him for a stroll. He has a foundation of learning from them, so he can learn from them and make rapid progress."

Kuang Shaoyi nodded, not quite understanding, "Is that so."

Fang Rong nodded confidently, "If you ask him about the trends of young people, he won't know. For example, if there is an e-sports competition, he probably can't beat the young actors."

"That's good. Wait, you are not going to cheat him by organizing an e-sports competition, are you?"

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Fang Rong spread his hands.

...

"Pass!" Chen Xiao said loudly, looking in the direction of the monitor.

What are these three people doing?

Fang Rong smiled like a flower, staring at the monitor without saying "cut".

Hearing his voice, Fang Rong came back to his senses, "Sorry, Director Chen, sorry, we are amazed at your rapid progress."

"Thanks to Senior Kuang for teaching well." Chen Xiao said politely.

But Kuang Shaoyi didn't think he was being polite, after all, he was the only one who had guided him during this period.

Kuang Shaoyi put his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Zou Zhen praised a few words, and hurried to the student, and helped the student who fell to the ground, "Are you okay?"

Why is this child pale and has cold sweat on his forehead.

Is he really injured?

"It's okay, teacher, don't worry, Director Chen stopped just enough, and he stopped before he touched us." A student got up from the ground, saying with lingering fear.

"Your face is a little pale, just say it if you feel uncomfortable."

The student scratched his head awkwardly, "Director Chen's punch was too fast, I thought I had to go to the hospital, so I... I was scared and sweated. But it didn't hurt at all."

Zou Zhen was slightly stunned.

From the perspective of filming, this is indeed the most ideal situation. While maintaining the filming effect, it does not hurt the extras.

But can such a fast speed really be stopped? Then what level of muscle control must be achieved?

Zou Zhen quickly helped the other students up, and everyone said that it really didn't hurt much, and it was not as painful as when they were sparring with their senior brothers.

Zou Zhen was even more surprised.

This martial arts genius!

While he was surprised, Chen Xiao had already walked to the monitor and was ready to replay the previous clip.

This clip was a famous scene, and he wanted to check the composition and discuss it with the camera crew.
