Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 215 Nine-Stone Great Bow
Shocking statement!

After Gao Xixi's voice faded, the once lively scene instantly fell silent.

Yu Hewei and his colleagues were stunned by Gao Xixi's amazing idea.

It took a long time to react.

Chen Jianbin's lips twitched, revealing a somewhat unnatural smile: "Director Gao is being humorous. Is he worried that Teacher Jiang might not be used to things yet, and is he telling a lame joke?"

"To be honest, Director Gao's jokes are getting better and better. Just now, I even thought he was serious. But how could that be? The story of shooting the halberd at the gate is a rare occurrence throughout history, with only one example being Lü Bu. Asking Teacher Jiang to imitate that is asking the impossible."

Yu Hewei chimed in, trying to smooth things over.

But neither Jiang Nian nor Gao Xixi paid any attention to this.

They just looked at each other.

Gao Xixi's face was full of anticipation and nervousness.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "So that's why you suddenly insisted on having me play Lü Bu the other day. Were you waiting for me here?"

Gao Xixi gave an awkward smile: "That's only part of the reason."

"Aren't you worried that I'll mess up the performance, or that I won't be able to do it?"

Jiang Nian asked.

In response, Gao Xixi stated objectively: "Of course I'm worried, but if even you, Teacher Jiang, can't do it, I think no one in this world can."

Hearing this, which was half flattery and half sincerity...

Jiang Nian smiled in surprise: "Alright, since you've put it this way, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to refuse again. Is the bow ready?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xixi understood that Jiang Nian had relented, and was overjoyed: "It's all ready! Props, quick, bring over the bow I asked you to order a while ago!"

The prop master next to him nodded quickly, then called someone to fetch a bow from the side.

Upon seeing this, both Yu Hewei and Chen Jianbin were stunned.

Dude, are you guys serious?
Isn't this just a joke?

"Teacher Jiang, you're not really going to draw your bow and shoot an arrow, are you?"

Yu Hewei, holding Jiang Nian's hand, asked in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "That's right, what else can we do?"

"But...this is the 'shooting the halberd at the gate'!"

Yu Hewei's face was full of "Holy crap".

Just like he said before.

In the entire five-thousand-year history of their Great Xia Dynasty, this is the only instance of such a thing.

This shows just how difficult it is.

What were you thinking, Jiang Nian, that made you want to replicate it?
Jiang Nian responded nonchalantly, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"."

Upon hearing this, He Wei fell silent.

He turned to look at Chen Jianbin beside him, signaling him to say a few words as well.

But Chen Jianbin shook his head.

It wasn't that he believed Jiang Nian could do it.

On the contrary, his attitude was the same as Yu Hewei's; they both felt that Jiang Nian was talking nonsense.

The reason he is not speaking now is very simple.

No need!
If they want to do it this way, then let them do it this way.

Once they realize that this approach won't work, they will naturally choose to give up.

Why waste your breath here?

A short while later, the props team arrived.

They were carrying a bow.

This bow is so heavy that it would take two people to lift it.

Gao Xixi looked at Jiang Nian: "Teacher Jiang, this is a nine-stone bow that I had specially made."

"Nine stones?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian's eyes lit up.

Wow, that's really meticulous.

They even replicated how much force Lu Bu used to draw his bow.

However, he likes it!

The old saying goes.

If you don't practice archery before going into battle, you'll have nothing to show for it when you're old!

All the top experts.

Whether it's the world's number one swordsman or the world's number one palm striker.

They all had to be skilled with a bow to be worthy of their reputation!
This might seem incredible to modern people.

In modern people's perception, archers are weak and fragile, only able to hide in the back and shoot arrows from the shadows.

In reality, all the archers in history who could be named were, without exception, burly men!
If you get close to him, he can swing his bow and slap you to death!

After all, drawing a bow is never an easy task.

One stone is equivalent to 120 jin of force!

The Nine Stones Technique that Gao Xixi has prepared for Jiang Nian requires at least 1,080 jin of force to fully extend it!

"Let me try?"

Looking at the large bow, Jiang Nian felt an irresistible urge to touch it and asked a question.

Although he has not yet mastered any archery techniques, let alone studied them systematically.

However, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, and others had many memories of practicing archery.

However, I had been struggling to find the right conditions, which was why it had been delayed.

Unexpectedly, these conditions have been offered to us today.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xixi smiled slightly: "Of course, no problem, please go ahead."

"it is good!"

Jiang Nian didn't stand on ceremony with him. He stepped forward and grabbed the nine-stone bow that required two people to lift.

Perhaps it's because Jiang Nian's current strength is just too terrifying.

My first impression upon holding this bow was that it was a bit light.

Holding it in your hand is almost like holding a stick.

It wasn't as substantial as Jiang Nian had imagined.

Place your hand on the string.

Give it a gentle tug.

"Buzz—"

Without any hindrance, Jiang Nian unfurled the nine-stone bow, causing it to tremble!

Feeling the force coming from my hands.

Jiang Nian frowned.

"What's wrong, Teacher Jiang? Is the bow too heavy?"

Sensing the change in Jiang Nian's expression, Gao Xi asked playfully.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian slowly lowered the drawn bowstring and shook his head: "It's not heavy, it's just light!"

"light?"

Gao Xixi was taken aback.

"That's right, this bow isn't as good as I initially imagined, but it's still usable, albeit barely."

Jiang Niandao.

Gao Xixi was visibly embarrassed by this.

He bought such a large bow after seeing Jiang Nian lift six people with one hand that day.

I thought it would be enough, but in Jiang Nian's opinion, it was only barely usable.

Seeing Gao Xixi acting like this, Chen Jianbin, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Just now, he clearly saw how much effort those two people had to put in to move the bow over, and how ferocious their expressions were.

When it fell into Jiang Nian's hands, it became lighter.

"What's going on here?"

Chen Jianbin said he couldn't understand it.

So after thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and asked:

"Teacher Jiang, can I try it too?"

"you?"

Jiang Nian let out a sound of surprise. He looked at Chen Jianbin's frame, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Are you sure? Although I said it's very light, it's still quite heavy for you."

Seeing Jiang Nian's impolite manner, Chen Jianbin's lips twitched.

I thought to myself, "You really aren't being polite at all."

However, this also ignited his competitive spirit as a man.

Why can you, Jiang Nian, lift it, but he can't? So he said, "How will I know if I don't try?"

"Okay, then you can take it."

Jiang Nian didn't say much, but simply handed over the nine-stone bow.

Seeing this, Chen Jianbin took a deep breath, then solemnly stretched out his hands, grasped the bow, and pulled hard.

He lifted the bowed body.

"It's not that heavy."

The thought flashed through Chen Jianbin's mind, and he was just about to show off.

But what happened next?

As Jiang Nian completely let go of his hand.

"Fuck!"

I felt an unprecedented force of gravity suddenly come from my hands.

Caught off guard, Chen Jianbin was thrown off balance by the impact.

If Jiang Nian hadn't reached out in time...

I'm afraid that this time, both the man and the bow will fall flat on their faces!

"Why the hell is this so heavy?"

Coming to his senses, Chen Jianbin looked at the bow in his hand, swore, and looked completely astonished!
He felt that the bow must weigh at least three or four hundred pounds.

Upon seeing this, Yu Hewei raised an eyebrow: "Teacher Chen, that's an exaggeration. It's just a bow."

He now seriously suspects that this group is putting on a double act, no, a quadruple act.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianbin shook his hand, which had been pressed red: "Exaggeration? You can try it yourself and you'll know whether I'm exaggerating or not."

"I won't try it; I don't have any feelings about this thing."

Yu Hewei shook his head decisively.

"Then you're talking nonsense!"

Chen Jianbin said irritably.

Then he looked at Jiang Nian, his eyes now filled with awe!
He can lift this bow, which weighs three or four hundred pounds, with one hand and draw it with ease.

"Director, is this why you cast Teacher Jiang to play Lü Bu?"

Chen Jianbin seemed to suddenly understand something.

Gao Xi smiled slightly at this, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Afterwards, the group chatted for a while longer.

It was getting late, and Jiang Nian had arrived.

Gao Xixi then suggested that Jiang Nian change her clothes before filming.

Jiang Nian had no objection to doing this kind of thing that was within his duty.

So they went to the dressing room to prepare for the upcoming filming.

It didn't take much effort.

Because of the scene of shooting the halberd at the gate, whether in the old or new Three Kingdoms period, Lü Bu always appears in casual clothes.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that you need to wear a hood.

After all, in the eyes of the ancients, one's body and hair were given to one's parents, and the importance of hair was second only to that of the head.

This resulted in most of the characters in the new Three Kingdoms having long hair.

As for makeup.

"Teacher Jiang, you don't need to wear makeup!"

He watched as Jiang Nian changed into casual clothes and came to stand before him.

The makeup artist truthfully relayed the instructions Gao Xi had given her before filming.

Jiang Nian was already handsome.

Later, due to practicing martial arts, he gained a more heroic air about him.

As soon as he puts on a stern face, an aura of authority arises spontaneously.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian was somewhat surprised.

After tidying up her clothes, she left the dressing room.

"Squeak-"

With a soft sound, Jiang Nian pushed open the door.

Then they saw seven or eight people standing at the door, craning their necks in anticipation.

The cast includes Chen Hao as Diao Chan, Lin Xinru as Sun Shangxiang, Yu Rongguang as Guan Yu, Kang Kai as Zhang Fei, and Huo Jianhua from the neighboring drama.

"?"

"Old Huo, what are you doing here?"

Looking at Huo Jianhua, who was mixed in with the crowd, Jiang Nian frowned and asked.

Does this drama have anything to do with you?
Upon hearing this, Huo Jianhua chuckled and put his arm around Lin Xinru beside him, saying, "Of course I came to see my wife and you too."

"What?! You two are already married?"

Jiang Nian looked completely bewildered.

Because he remembered that in his previous life, Huo Jianhua and Lin Xinru's relationship was only revealed in 16, and they got married.

Unexpectedly, in this life, after only 12 years, they got together.

Huo Jianhua looked puzzled and said, "Of course! We got married in 09, right after I finished filming Chinese Paladin. It caused quite a stir in the industry back then, didn't you know?"

"I really don't know."

Jiang Niandao.

He barely survived the harsh winter of 09, so how could he care about such trivial matters?

"alright."

Huo Jianhua said no more.

The others also looked at Jiang Nian, and there was a lot of discussion.

Especially Kang Kai, who played Zhang Fei.

I don't know if it's because he's gotten used to playing Zhang Fei, or if this is just his true nature.

The moment he saw Jiang Nian, that loud voice started shouting.

"This is Lü Bu?"

"She's really pretty!"

"Old Lu, you used to boast that you were the most handsome guy in our group. How about it now? Feeling any pressure?"

The "Old Lu" he was referring to was naturally Lu Yi, who played Zhuge Liang.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi's lips twitched.

Feeling the curious stares from those around me.

He wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground: "Can you please keep your voice down? Why are you shouting like that?"

"Huh? I have a loud voice? This is already the quietest I can speak!"

Kang Kai looked surprised.

"You son of a bitch." Lu Yi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

I really don't know how to communicate with such a reckless person.

Fortunately, Jiang Nian didn't care about this.

After exchanging only a few words with Huo Jianhua, he looked at Gao Xixi in the crowd and asked, "Director Gao, shall we start filming now?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Xixi snapped out of his reverie about Jiang Nian's current appearance and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, no problem."

Then he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get ready, we're about to start filming. Those who are going to be on set, get ready. Everyone else, spread out and don't interfere with the filming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people dispersed.

Jiang Nian, under his guidance, arrived at the filming location.

The scene being filmed now was clearly stated beforehand: it's about shooting the halberd at the gate.

However, before the shooting of the halberd at the gate.

There is also a dramatic scene.

The content of the dialogue scenes is not very complicated.

Basically, Zhang Fei's drunkenness led to his mistakes, resulting in Xuzhou being occupied by Lü Bu's troops, leaving the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei with nowhere to stand.

Therefore, Liu Bei was forced to plead with Lü Bu to cede Xiaopei so that he could establish a foothold there and form a pincer movement with him to fight against Yuan Shu.

But just as Liu Bei had settled down in Xiaopei, Yuan Shu sent Lü Bu 200,000 units of grain and provisions, hoping to make Lü Bu ignore his army's attack on Liu Bei.

Lu Bu was shortsighted and blinded by greed, so he agreed.

Liu Bei was in deep crisis and had no choice but to ask Lü Bu for help again.

Lu Bu initially didn't care, but it was only after being persuaded by Chen Gong that he went to support Liu Bei.

But he didn't want to offend Yuan Shu, so he had to play both sides.

So they held a banquet and invited Liu Bei and Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's main general, in an attempt to mediate and make peace.

The story begins here!
