In the film crew's studio, a lot of people had noticed the commotion over there.
"Eh?"
"They've already started practicing?"
"The martial arts movements have already been designed? They've already finished learning? "
"It can't be that fast, right? This requires the two of them to slowly get used to it over and over again."
"Let's go over and have a look. I wonder how Teacher Zhang is doing. Learning the movements and actually practicing sparring with each other are two completely different concepts. For the sake of the filming effect, they really have to fight and wear protective pads to make sure their fists hit the flesh. Otherwise, they would have to use the 'flash shot' method to deal with it, but that wouldn't be realistic. How fast Teacher Zhang learns is directly linked to the progress of the afternoon's filming. If he's slow or doesn't learn well, he might not even be able to finish shooting the afternoon's set of scenes, let alone the next scene."
Quite a few of the staff went over to watch.
When the director and assistant director saw this, they also went over to watch.
Liu Chengpeng asked the martial arts director, "Have they all been taught?"
"More or less. Let the two of them try it out first to get a feel for it," the martial arts director answered.
In a short while, more than 20 people had gathered around. They basically had nothing else to do and were just waiting for Zhang Ye to finish practicing before they could start filming. Since they had nothing better to do, they decided to come over and have a look at the situation. They formed a large circle outside and pointed at each other as they talked.
On set.
Zhang Ye and the stunt double were already in position.
When the stunt double saw that so many people were paying attention to him, including the director and assistant director, he became more motivated. Coupled with the fact that he had just learned the legendary and invincible Taiji Fist that he had admired for a long time, his desire to perform immediately swelled. "Teacher Zhang, thank you for going easy on me. Please be careful, I'm going to make the first move!"
Zhang Ye said calmly, "Bring it on."
The martial arts director even reminded him, "Pay attention to your movements. It has to be standard."
When the stunt double heard that, he got into a horse stance and followed the martial arts director's instructions in a very "standard" way. His body also slanted at an angle and his hand movements were even more "standard." He raised one hand and got into the starting stance of Taiji Fist, looking very valiant and heroic.
On the other hand, what about Zhang Ye?
Zhang Ye also got into a stance that looked like it was also a starting stance. It was the same stance that he had done in the studio earlier, so no one could recognize it. There wasn't much distance between his feet and his hands were floating in the air to form a stance, but there wasn't any strength behind it. It was the kind of stance that could be pushed away with a touch. His shoulders were also lowered and he looked a little listless and soft. It was too frustrating!
"What kind of stance is that?"
"Did the martial arts director teach it?"
"Why does it look so weak?"
"One straight and one reverse, the difference is too great."
"Don't have such high expectations. That stunt double is a professional in this and he even has the foundation of an external style of kung fu. Zhang Ye is just an artist, so how can he compete with him?"
"That's true."
When the stunt double saw this, he was dumbfounded. What the hell was this?
The martial arts director was also very speechless. This Teacher Zhang, he had already demonstrated Taiji Fist several times, so why couldn't he remember it? He even forgot the two starting stances? What kind of starting stance is this? It's so soft and full of loopholes. Whether it's an internal style of kung fu or an external style of kung fu, none of them have a stance like this. Just one move and you'll be knocked down!
"Teacher Zhang, it's not like that!" The martial arts director thought to himself that a layman was indeed a layman. It was really difficult to teach. "What about your horse stance? The angle of the tilt! "
But Zhang Ye did not move an inch.
The stunt double looked at him and said, "You can't do that. You can't even take a single move from me. This stance is full of loopholes, so we can't spar like this."
The assistant director quickly reminded, "Everyone, be careful. Don't get hurt, especially Teacher Zhang. If you get hurt, there won't be any actors to replace you!"
Zhang Ye casually said, "It's fine. Come on."
"I'm afraid I'll hurt you." The stunt double was very hesitant.
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That might not necessarily be the case."
When the stunt double heard him say that, he simply said, "Alright, then I'm coming!" After saying that, he took a step forward. Following the moves that the martial arts director had taught him, he threw out a palm strike. The arc of the palm strike was very strange and looked like it was a diversion move. It was a very beautiful move. He knew that Zhang Ye would definitely not be able to take it, so he deliberately held back his strength by 60-70% and only used 30-40% of his strength!
The martial arts director praised, "Good punch! That's the kung fu of Taiji! "
Kung fu?
Zhang Ye shook his head in his mind. He had already flipped one of his hands up. The stance that looked full of loopholes suddenly changed shape as Zhang Ye's hand met the stunt double's arm!
Bam!
The two of them collided!
Everyone was watching with widened eyes. However, the scene that they had expected did not happen. Many of them were dumbfounded to see that after exchanging blows, Zhang Ye did not move an inch from his original position. Instead, it was the stunt double who had executed a beautiful move and lost his center of gravity. He took a step to the side and lost his momentum. There was no way for him to make another move and he could only retreat!
The stunt double was a little stunned. "This …"
Zhang Ye smiled and thought to himself that what you did was not a prank, but what I did was a prank.
When the martial arts director saw this, he was taken aback for a moment. Then he smiled and said to the stunt double, "Teacher Zhang's strength is still quite good. You don't have to hold back and deliberately did not use your full strength."
Only then did everyone realize. Oh, so he was not being serious.
The stunt double replied, "Alright, Teacher Zhang, again!"
He closed in on Zhang Ye once again, but this time, he used his leg. It was a different move from before and the strength of his leg had increased by quite a bit. It felt like a thunderbolt!
Kick again!
Zhang Ye blocked again!
Bam. The fist and leg collided. However, no one noticed that in just a few tenths of a second, Zhang Ye had lightly flicked his wrist and bent it again. The stunt double's center of gravity, which had been charging forward with all his might, suddenly shifted again. As the stunt double had exerted a lot of force this time, it caused him to nearly lose his center of gravity and fall. He stumbled a little and hurriedly steadied himself. He was sweating profusely!
What was going on?
What was going on?
The stunt double was stunned. Why didn't my Taiji Fist work? And what kind of kung fu did Teacher Zhang Ye use? How is it that my great strength was inexplicably reduced by half by him? Not only did it get diverted, it even felt like the force that was diverted had returned to me? Otherwise, why would my center of gravity suddenly shift? Only those who had experienced it firsthand would be able to understand what he was feeling. The stunt double was already feeling dizzy. Zhang Ye's move looked like kung fu, but at the same time, it did not feel like kung fu. He had never seen anything like that before!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Again?"
"Again!" The stunt double was a little angered by Zhang Ye's words. He was still a little unconvinced. If Zhang Ye were any other martial artist, he would definitely be convinced. But Zhang Ye was just an artist, so it was impossible for him to know such profound Chinese martial arts. He felt that Teacher Zhang must have just stumbled across a dead mouse. It was just a technique, and as the saying goes, a random punch can even kill an experienced master. This saying was really true. If a person who knew a little bit of kung fu were to fight a person who had a lot of strength but did not know any kung fu, it would really be hard to say who would win. Perhaps your strength was too weak, or your reaction was too slow, or the ground was not flat, or even the wind was strong and you happened to be against it. All of these things could lead to the winner changing hands, so nothing was absolute.
Phew!
The stunt double came forward for the third time!
Zhang Ye stood there calmly and unhurriedly took on his attack again. As the stunt double was already prepared for this, he dodged the first attack and ended up getting close to Zhang Ye. When Zhang Ye saw this, he did not dodge and instead used the momentum to stick close to him!
His shoulder leaned in slightly.
The stunt double stumbled back four or five steps with a startled look on his face!
"Again!" He was getting anxious!
But Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Alright, please go ahead."
Hur hur, again? It won't work no matter how many times you try.
The stunt double rushed forward again and used the Taiji Fist that the martial arts director had taught him to fight with Zhang Ye. But he did not know that what he had learned was not Taiji Fist at all. It was not even close to the words Taiji Fist. Meanwhile, the Zhang Ye in front of him was a true Taiji Fist expert. As for how he compared to the Taiji Fist experts from Zhang Ye's previous world, that was hard to say. But at least in this world, Zhang Ye was the only person alive who knew Taiji Fist!
A knockoff of a knockoff Taiji Fist and an authentic Taiji Fist of the authentic Taiji Fist. The difference was like heaven and earth. They could not be compared at all!
The stunt double attacked again and again!
Zhang Ye tried to deflect his attacks time and time again. He could not use his full strength, so he probably only used 10% or 20% of his strength to play with him. He did not want to hurt anyone, nor did he want to expose his martial arts foundation. After all, he did not understand the current situation of the Chinese martial arts world, so he did not want to get into any more trouble because of this. The reason why he was trying it out this time was because, as the only remaining successor of Taiji Fist in this world, Zhang Ye wanted to let the martial arts director and stunt double know that Taiji Fist was not as simple as they thought it was. What they were practicing was nothing!
Erect!
Slanting!
Up!
Down!
The stunt double felt like he was stuck in a quagmire. It was like there was a huge mountain or a huge river in front of him. No matter how he tried, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. He could not exert any strength at all!
Wang Chengpeng: "…"
The martial arts director: "…"
The assistant director: "…"
The surrounding film crew members were already dumbfounded by what they were seeing!
