The Straight Man in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 548 Martial Arts Boy

In order to have enough time to deal with the follow-up of the drama "Young You".

Lin Li had a video connection with Zhang Dasong that night. He told Zhang Dasong that he hoped to leave a month or two to deal with the follow-up matters of the film, and hoped that the training time would be shortened.

Zhang Dasong also looked a little embarrassed after hearing Lin Li's words, but before he could speak, someone suddenly broke into the camera on his side.

Lin Li took a look and immediately shouted respectfully: "Hello, Director Yuan."

The person who came was Yuan Ping, who was also an excellent director of martial arts films. Even though he was not the director of this film, everyone still used to call him Director Yuan.

Now the two of them are preparing to work together on a new movie. It is normal for them to come together to discuss before the shooting starts.

Yuan Ping looked at Lin Li and said, "Lin Li, I have heard many people say something about you, including Director Zhang. I know you are very popular now, but you have to know that you don't have time for Director Zhang's plays." , but there are a lot of people more popular than you who have time."

Yuan Ping has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is famous in the circle for his explosive temper. Apparently he was a little annoyed when he heard Lin Li say that he didn't have time to train. He even wanted to interrupt Zhang Dasong's video.

Although Zhang Dasong didn't say it explicitly, he allowed Yuan Ping to intervene in his conversation with Lin Li. It was somewhat out of favor and he couldn't refuse Lin Li, so he wanted Yuan Ping to say something harsh for him.

Lin Li said: "I know."

"I know you still talk like this?" Yuan Ping was very unhappy. "When the filming starts, you can't keep up. Is it your responsibility or mine!?"

Lin Li was silent for a while and said, "If I can keep up and it doesn't affect the crew's filming, is that okay?"

"You can keep up? People have been training for three months and they don't dare to say that they can keep up. How dare you say that you can keep up without training?!"

Facing Yuan Ping's questioning, most people would be scared to death if they didn't say anything, but at least they wouldn't dare to speak, but Lin Li had no intention of shutting up.

"The purpose of the training is not to let us actors without martial arts skills become familiar with the fighting scenes in the film, and let us learn some martial arts moves. But if I have some skills and I really can't get away here, as long as I It doesn’t affect the filming of the film, and I don’t think it’s necessary to go to the training camp.”

Yuan Ping didn't expect Lin Li to dare to talk to him like this. He had seen a lot of newcomers like this, and he had never seen any newcomer act so neither humble nor overbearing when talking to him, especially when facing his own criticism.

Zhang Dasong knew that both Lin Li and Yuan Ping had bad tempers, but he didn't want Lin Li to fall out with Yuan Ping before he joined the group, so he smoothed things over and said to Yuan Ping: "Lin Li learns things faster than the average person. I can testify to this." .”

Zhang Dasong only said that Lin Li learned quickly, but he still had to learn.

Yuan Ping said dissatisfied: "Director Zhang, martial arts is not some dead knowledge. Without more than ten years of basic skills, it is very difficult to practice. Our three months are already very short. No matter how short it is, I can't guarantee this group of people." We can achieve the effects we want in the future.”

After Yuan Ping spoke earnestly to Zhang Dashong, he turned to Lin Li and asked, "What did you just say? You said you have the foundation?"

Lin Li nodded and said, "In the university club, I signed up for the martial arts club and learned a little bit."

In order to recruit new members, the school club specially recruited Lin Li to be their front man. Although Lin Li had never been to a martial arts club, it seemed reasonable to use this reason to explain that he knew martial arts.

When Yuan Ping heard this, he said disdainfully: "The university club, in our opinion, is just children playing house! Do you expect this to help you in filming?!"

Lin Li silently upgraded the martial arts moves he had drawn in the system during this period to the master level, and then said: "I think my current level is still enough for this movie."

Yuan Ping didn't expect Lin Li to dare to talk back, so he sneered: "Okay, that's enough. Let me ask you, what martial arts did you learn in the club?"

"I have practiced swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, and Sanda."

After hearing Lin Li's words, Zhang Dasong also frowned. If Lin Li had mentioned a weapon or boxing technique, Zhang Dasong might have felt that Lin Li was extremely talented and would be able to achieve a good level after practicing in the university club.

But Lin Li reported so many categories at once, and Zhang Dasong also felt that Lin Li had only learned a little bit, and it was far from the level of martial arts that they required actors to master for filming.

Yuan Ping shook his head after hearing this and said mockingly: "Wow, you guys in the Yanda Martial Arts Club have learned a lot. Let's do this. Don't say anything else. You give me a set of Tai Chi and I'll see how good you are. How about, if you can't pass my test and you don't want to take time to come to training, then I suggest Director Zhang change actors."

Yuan Ping spoke very straightforwardly, and his qualifications and status allowed him to speak like this. Zhang Dasong listened to Yuan Ping's words and looked at Lin Li in silence.

Tai Chi is currently the most successfully promoted martial art in China. In the park in the early morning and evening, it is inevitable to see some elderly people practicing Tai Chi.

But at this time, Tai Chi had become a sport similar to aerobics, and its relationship with martial arts was no longer in name only.

But it has to be said that Yuan Ping asked Lin Li to perform Tai Chi, which is indeed the simplest martial arts event.

If Tai Chi can't satisfy Yuan Ping, there's no need to look at other techniques.

However, what they didn't know was that Tai Chi was the first martial arts event that Lin Li won in the system. At this time, Lin Li's Tai Chi level had already risen to the master level.

When Lin Li heard what Yuan Ping said, he knew that Yuan Ping would not let go unless he showed some skills, and Zhang Dasong would not agree to not go to the training camp.

This is not just a matter of giving face to the director, but also a matter of whether future filming can proceed smoothly.

So Lin Li set up his cell phone, took a few steps back, and showed Zhang Dasong and Yuan Ping a set of Tai Chi in the living room.

The Tai Chi drawn in Lin Li's system is not a performance Tai Chi, but a Tai Chi with strong practical ability and simplicity. Therefore, when Lin Li fights, he is not slow and leisurely. Instead, he opens and closes in a smooth and smooth manner. , the intensity was so fierce that even through the screen, Zhang Dasong and Yuan Ping could hear the sound of piercing the air caused by Lin Li's movements.

Although Lin Li's set of movements is clean and neat, with both strength and defense, if an inexperienced person sees Lin Li's set of boxing techniques, it will be difficult to connect it with Tai Chi.

Because the shape is not similar.

But after all, Zhang Dasong had been trained, and Yuan Ping was a top boss in the industry. After watching Lin Li's boxing technique, they fell into silence at the same time.

Because they are similar!

After Lin Li finished playing, he hugged his hands, then walked forward, picked up his phone, and looked at Zhang Dasong and Yuan Ping.

"Both directors, can I... do this?"

Yuan Ping came to his senses and asked: "Are you talking about Tai Chi?"

Lin Li nodded and said vaguely: "My... Tai Chi is not limited to routine moves, but focuses on the inner martial arts concepts."

"Who taught you this?"

Yuan Ping asked sharply.

Lin Lidao: "In the club, everyone did it together..."

Yuan Ping looked at Zhang Dashong, who said: "I read the paragraph just now and thought it was very good. Since our movie is going to promote Chinese martial arts, it must be convincing. If it is shot according to the current routine that everyone is familiar with, It seems that it would be difficult to convince the crowd when fighting a powerful enemy, but Lin Li's method seems to be better."

The reason why Zhang Dasong has not filmed this movie is actually because of this problem.

Since we want to promote martial arts and tell everyone that martial arts has practical combat capabilities that are as good as any kind of fighting sport, and to do this, the first problem that must be solved is to make everyone believe everything in the movie.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the fighting part of martial arts has been eliminated, and only the performance part has been retained. In the past hundred years, the actual combat ability of martial arts has been almost non-existent.

It is actually very difficult to expect to use today's routines in movies to defeat the enemy and make the audience believe it.

So after seeing Lin Li doing this set of Tai Chi, although he was not sure about Lin Li's actual combat ability, Zhang Dasong felt that slightly improving the martial arts routines in the movie might make people believe in his actual martial arts ability.

Lin Li's set of improvements is very good, at least it looks more powerful.

Even Zhang Dasong didn't know that Lin Li's style was Tai Chi in the true sense!

Zhang Dashong said this, and Yuan Ping naturally couldn't refute it. The key was that he was also shocked deep in his heart. Lin Li's Tai Chi method simply overturned his understanding of Tai Chi.

Moreover, he is more knowledgeable in martial arts than Zhang Dashong, so he is more certain that Lin Li's boxing method is not weak in actual combat, or even very strong.

After being so quarrelsome with Lin Li before, Yuan Ping couldn't bear to praise him even though he thought Lin Li's boxing skills were good. However, Zhang Dasong had already praised him, so he could just give up.

"Hmm... Look at it this way... It seems okay, but the male protagonist of our movie has more than ten fighting scenes, and Tai Chi is only one of them. You don't need to train for this one, but what about the other ones?" Yuan Ping said.

Lin Lidao: "I also have some skills in other things, so it won't delay the filming progress."

Yuan Ping was silent for a while, but still seemed uneasy, and said, "Then you can show us another sword technique."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, wondering: "I don't even have a knife at home..."

"It's easy, use chopsticks instead." Yuan Ping was experienced and blurted out the solution.

Lin Li saw Zhang Dasong looking at him expectantly. Apparently he agreed with Yuan Ping's intention.

Although they were satisfied with their Tai Chi skills, out of responsibility for the movie, they still had to confirm that Lin Li could complete the filming of the martial arts scene even without training.

Lin Li then put up his cell phone again, went to the kitchen, picked up a chopstick, and returned to the living room.

After bowing to the camera, Lin Li took a deep breath, started to pick up his chopsticks, and danced around the living room.

Just now Tai Chi warmed up his body, and now Lin Li's movements became more stretched and faster. He also made several flips in the air, which were clean and neat, full of power and beauty.

Lin Li's actions of stabbing the cell phone camera several times made Zhang Dasong and Yuan Ping's breath stagnant over there.

After Zhang Dasong finished reading, he couldn't help but applaud and said: "Very good, oh, Lin Li, you are such a surprise to me. I never knew you had this ability before. If I had known, I would have chosen you right away." Got it!"

Lin Li smiled and said, "It's not too late..."

After saying that, Lin Li looked at Yuan Ping and said, "Director Yuan, is my swordsmanship... OK?"

Although Lin Li was holding chopsticks, Yuan Ping was such a person. Yuan Ping knew his level almost as soon as Lin Li started "sword dancing".

Yuan Ping has a Yuan Family Class, which is full of his disciples. They are also well-known in the entertainment industry. Many martial arts instructors in movies are from the Yuan Family Class.

In the film industry, whenever there is a difficult action that ordinary people cannot complete, everyone will go to Yuanjiaban to hire someone to do it.

It can be said that Yuan Jiaban is an expert in action scenes in the film industry, and is the palace in the minds of all film and martial arts people.

However, after Yuan Ping saw Lin Li's sword skills, he couldn't think of anyone among his apprentices who could dance better than Lin Li.

Yuan Ping heard Lin Li ask him what he thought of his swordsmanship. He was silent for a while and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he turned to Zhang Dasong and said, "Director Zhang, let him decide. I have no objection. I only have one suggestion. If Director Zhang promised that you don’t have to come to the training camp, but your role is very important, so I have to send an apprentice to follow you and rehearse the scenes in the movie with you."

Obviously, Yuan Ping has relented.

Lin Li looked at Zhang Dasong a little nervously. Zhang Dasong thought for a while and said, "Director Yuan's suggestion is very good. I think that's it. But Lin Li, you have to take the time to work with Director Yuan's apprentice to edit the scenes in the movie." The play is well rehearsed, but I have to check it frequently."

Lin Li was very happy when he heard that Zhang Dashong finally relented. He nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, I will never let you down!"

Later, Yuan Ping said: "Later, I will ask my apprentice to contact you, and we will have him find you as soon as possible to help you become familiar with the fighting scenes in our movies."

Lin Li said: "Okay, Director Zhang, just give him my contact information."

"Okay, let's just say that."

After hanging up the video, Zhang Dasong said to Yuan Ping: "Director Yuan, how do you like the male protagonist I'm looking for?"

Yuan Ping didn't think much of Lin Li at first, but after Lin Li defeated him with Tai Chi and sword skills, Yuan Ping also became very interested in him and said with a smile: "This guy has a bit of a personality and is quite interesting. I really like him." I kind of want to meet him as soon as possible."

"Unfortunately, he is very busy and has no time to come to the training camp." Zhang Dasong said with some regret.

Yuan Ping looked at Zhang Dasong and said, "In so many years, Director Zhang, is this the first time he has encountered such a disobedient actor?"

Zhang Dashong gave a wry smile and said, "He and I met on a show. In that show, he was no longer obedient or disobedient. He was simply a time bomb, so that's okay."

"Oh?" Yuan Ping became more interested now, "Then why did you choose him?"

"Because..." Zhang Dasong thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because he is Lin Li. Just like this time, we called an actor training camp. We just hope that the actors can give a perfect performance during the filming of our movie, but he can't do it now. He came to the training camp, but he directly gave us an answer of 120 points, so I had no reason to reject him."

Yuan Ping smiled and said: "You have no reason to refuse. You are just reluctant to refuse."

Zhang Dasong laughed. He really liked Lin Li. If Lin Li was chosen as the leading actor before, it was because Zhang Dasong could not find a more suitable candidate than Lin Li.

After Lin Li showed his martial arts skills just now, Zhang Dashong felt that the role of Song Shi was Lin Li!

The kind that has to be him.

And because Lin Li demonstrated kung fu, he also provided some inspiration to Zhang Dashong. For example, you don't have to stick to ready-made martial arts routines. You can improve them yourself, break and then stand again, which can make martial arts more lethal and more enjoyable to watch!

This was difficult, but after Zhang Dasong watched Lin Li's performance, he felt that it might not be that difficult for Lin Li to do it!

After Zhang Dasong and Yuan Ping finished chatting, Yuan Ping also picked up his mobile phone, found a person named Yuan Xiaodong, and called him.

"Come to my room, I need to tell you something."
