Exciting 1979!

Chapter 200: The Real Man and the Young Wife (asking for a monthly ticket!)

Director Wang’s face is still very useful. Shichahai Sports School is very cooperative, and Coach Wei Ming and Coach Wu Bin are old acquaintances.

Both Xu Xiaoming and Yuan Xiangren noticed that Wei Ming, a scholar, was actually chatting and laughing with Coach Wu. He was a real character.

Next they tried a group of boys under the age of 10 to identify men who were suitable for the role.

A real man does not need to have superb martial arts skills. After all, he is just a talker and there are no fighting scenes. It is enough to have a flexible body. But he must be photogenic, not stage-frightened, and it is best if he has a sense of humor.

If Xizi wasn't too young, Wei Ming would have wanted to recommend him.

However, these kids practicing martial arts in front of me seem to be very stupid and lack smartness.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t find one in a martial arts school, because this role requires very low martial arts skills, so the choices are wider, and the Beijing Film Studio should also have some child star resources.

And these children who have just performed can choose those with good martial arts skills to play other main characters in the film, such as Wang Ermao, Little Leopard, etc.

Yuan Xiangren and Yang Qitian were also taking notes, recording the children they liked, and then choosing the best ones.

Next it was time for the performances by female students in their 20s.

Huang Qiuyan had already seen Wei Ming, but Wei Ming pretended not to know her and did not make any eye contact with her. This is called avoiding suspicion.

But she has an advantage over other students. Others don’t know what kind of drama to film, and they only perform the things they are good at or the things that look good in fighting.

Huang Qiuyan knew that Wei Ming was Wei Kuangren, so she chose the actor from the novel "Heroes Always Emerge Young". In the novel, the heroine is good at snake fist and double swords, which happen to be what she is best at.

So when she went on stage to perform, both Xu Xiaoming and Yuan Xiangren's eyes lit up.

Yan Zi not only has an eye-catching performance, but is also very beautiful. She stands out among the girls who practice martial arts.

They all regarded Huang Qiuyan as the first choice, and Wei Ming then winked at Yan Zi, meaning that she had great hope.

However, there was another girl who performed well later. Although she was not as pretty as Yan Zi, she was not ugly either and had the temperament of a tigress. The key point was that she also practiced snake boxing.

Yuan Xiangren also felt that compared to this girl, Huang Qiuyan seemed too gentle and her temperament was not fierce enough.

His opinions even influenced directors Xu Xiaoming and Yang Qitian.

Wei Ming saw that things were going to go wrong, so he quickly pulled Yuan Xiangren aside and told her in a low voice.

"This Huang Qiuyan is A Biao's girlfriend."

"What? A Biao, with his looks, can have such a beautiful girlfriend?!" Yuan Xiangren felt it was unbelievable. When he saw Wei Ming nod, he exclaimed that the boy was lucky.

Then he looked at Wei Ming. When it comes to handsome guys, Wei Ming is still the best, but when it comes to finding girls, you are not as good as A Biao.

Yuan Xiangren was very considerate. He turned around and overturned what he had just said.

"After a closer look, I feel that Huang Qiuyan actually has a heroic side, and is quite suitable."

At this time, Wei Ming also added: "And Huang Qiuyan is more beautiful, which will be more attractive to the audience."

No matter what era, appearance is productivity. Imagine if the male lead of "Shaolin Temple" was Ji Chunhua instead of Li Lianjie, and everything else remained unchanged, could it still attract audiences across the country to continue to go to the cinema to watch it again?

Obviously it is impossible. I guess watching it once would cause psychological trauma, not to mention that countless boys and women still remember it after decades.

"What do you think, Danny?" Wei Ming glanced at Zhen Zidan who was standing beside them and helping them.

Zhen Zidan said hurriedly: "Senior Sister Huang is good at martial arts and a nice person. Everyone in the sports school likes her."

You see, there is no choice in personality, choose her! Choose her!

With their encouragement, Huang Qiuyan was almost chosen on the spot, but with the idea of "what if there is someone better", they also wanted to take a look at the masters of other martial arts teams. Now Yan Zi could only be the first candidate.

But this is enough. She has good conditions and it is difficult to find a female athlete who can surpass her in all aspects. The screenwriters and martial arts directors are on her side, so she is almost invincible.

Then they started to select older kids. These guys fought beautifully and powerfully. Xu Xiaoming had an idea and decided to join the sparring event.

They were watching the excitement when suddenly a little bald man squeezed in from the crowd and asked the female team members next to him who were a head taller than him: "What are you doing?"

The little bald head is very delicate, with small eyes. If it weren’t for this hairstyle, he would probably be mistaken for a girl.

Huang Qiuyan knew him. He was the child of Coach Wu’s friend. He used to come to school often to play. It seemed that he would officially go to Shichahai to study next semester, but in fact, his family had some family traditions and he started practicing martial arts very early.

"We're selecting actors for the competition," Huang Qiuyan held him back to prevent this naughty boy from causing trouble. She asked, "Why did you shave your head?"

“It’s cool.”

As the two were talking, Wei Ming noticed the little boy and thought, Wow, you came to Shichahai so early!

So Wei Ming pointed at the little boy and asked director Xu Xiaoming what he thought of the role of the real man.

Director Xu's eyes lit up. This child looked quite clever, but he was not very tall and looked too small.

Xu Xiaoming pointed at Zhen Zidan and asked him to bring the child over.

Wu Bin saw them and introduced them: "This is my friend's child, his name is Wu Jing, he is only six years old this year."

"Uncle, I'm already seven years old!" Wu Jing quickly corrected, saying that he was seven years old in terms of age.

In fact, he is only one and a half years older than Xizi, but he looks a lot older. However, he is still a little bit away from the age of the male protagonist in the script, he is too young.

In the novel, the husband is 10 years old and the young wife is 20 years old. If we were to cast them, they would have to be at least eight or nine years old. We were afraid that this child, who hasn't even entered primary school yet, wouldn't be able to perform such a complex performance.

Wei Mingze looked at his thumbs. Well, his thumbs had not been cut off because of playing too much.

Because he was playing with a tricycle when he was a child, Wu Jing had a section of his left thumb cut off, which greatly affected his future career as a martial arts athlete. Now his fingers are still intact.

The director first asked him to perform some martial arts moves. He performed them quite well, but he was a bit shorter than the other kids. However, he was not afraid to speak.

Xu Xiaoming simply asked him to perform a section of the manly lines in the script, and asked Huang Qiuyan to act with him, which was the part where "My mother? She is my wife!"

Huang Qiuyan was still a little embarrassed, but Wu Jing said it without any shame, but he was a little emotional, so it was too peaceful.

"Be more proud and arrogant." Xu Xiaoming guided. Although dubbing would basically be used at that time, the expression had to be on point.

Wu Jing was a little confused. He didn't know what arrogance meant, and he had trouble understanding this person's Mandarin.

So Wei Ming squatted down and guided him: "Just imagine that you are fighting with other children and you can't beat them. At this time, sister Qiuyan comes to help. She can beat the opponent by herself. Think about the feeling of being proud, and do it again."

Oh, fighting with other kids, Wu Jing often does this. He has been a naughty kid since he was young.

After hearing what Wei Ming said, he acted it out again. This time Xu Xiaoming was quite satisfied. This kid is still very smart.

The only thing missing is age. It would be better if he was two years older. So I can only consider him as a backup and I have to look for someone more suitable.

Wei Ming didn't say anything. His recommendation for Wu Jing was not as strong as Huang Qiuyan's. It was up to fate whether Wu Jing could get on board or not. After all, the quality of the movie was the most important.

As for this kid, now that we know each other, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to cooperate in the future.

Afterwards they went to Yenching Institute of Physical Education, where there were also a large number of students learning martial arts. Zhao Wenzhuo later graduated from there.

Later, Xu Xiaoming asked again: "Is there anyone practicing martial arts in Tianjin?"

So they made another trip to Tianjin and brought Zhen Zidan with them. He was now the only confirmed actor, and Yuan Xiangren directly called him up to help, and his intention to cultivate him was obvious.

On the train to Tianjin, everyone talked about the same topic - Huo Yuanjia.

Huo Yuanjia, a famous martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty, was born in Cangzhou. He became famous in Tianjin and later founded the "Jingwu Gymnastics Association" in Shanghai.

Xu Xiaoming will shoot a TV series "Heroes of Huo Yuanjia" next year which will be popular all over the country and will also establish his status as a director.

Yuen Cheung Yan's brother Yuen Woo-ping will also shoot a movie version of "Huo Yuanjia" two years later.

Zhen Zidan, who was accompanying him, would also become famous for the first time ten years later with the TV series "Fist of Fury", which was a spin-off of Huo Yuanjia.

When Wei Ming was creating "The Right Path in the World is Vicissitudes", he also borrowed from Huo Yuanjia to a certain extent in the creation of the old man "Jiang Chixia".

Therefore, the connection between them and Huo Yuanjia can be said to be very deep.

However, there were not many film and television works related to Huo Yuanjia at that time, and its influence was not enough. Except for people in the north and the martial arts circle, Xu Xiaoming said that people in Hong Kong were more familiar with Huang Feihong.

Speaking of Huo Yuanjia, in the eyes of Hong Kong people he mainly exists as a background board in "Fist of Fury", and the one who really became famous is his apprentice Chen Zhen created by Bruce Lee.

In fact, no one knows what the historical Chen Zhen was like. When the screenwriter Ni Kuang was creating the script of "Fist of Fury" that year, he saw these two words among the names of many disciples of Fist of Fury in Huo Yuanjia's obituary. He thought the name was very good, so he used it for the male protagonist, and then this classic character was born.

Wei Ming said: "In fact, the character Huo Yuanjia is also very worthy of writing a film or TV series with him as the protagonist."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoming nodded secretly. When he arrived in Tianjin, he visited local martial arts masters and heard more legends about Huo Yuanjia. Xu Xiaoming became even more attracted to Wei Ming's proposal.

Wei Ming wanted to help Xu Xiaoming write a TV script for Huo Yuanjia, but then he remembered that he hadn't started writing his own novel yet, so he decided to give it up.

The key is that when writing about Huo Yuanjia, you can't avoid Chen Zhen. He doesn't mind plagiarizing others, but he is unhappy about plagiarizing Ni Kuang.

After three days of hard work, the main roles were basically confirmed, except for the male lead. Xu Xiaoming planned to take a look on his own, and Yuan Xiangren was about to return to Hong Kong. He had to go back to organize the martial arts troupe and then bring them to the mainland to film, which required the consent of his father and brother.

Before Yuen Cheung Yan left, they had decided that Huang Qiuyan would play the leading female role.

"cheers!"

In the Changzheng Canteen at the gate of Peking University, Wei Ming, Biaozi, Yanzi, Xiaomei, A Long and several other young people gathered together to celebrate Yanzi's first leading role in her life.

Also, congratulations to Liu Rulong on the publication of his first comic book!

The first volume of the comic book "Heroes Have Always Been Young" was sent to Aaron in Shanghai, and the manuscript fee invoice also arrived.

There are 60 pages in total, and each page is 600 yuan, which is 500 yuan in total. After deducting the salary of the three classmates, there is still yuan left, which A-Long will split with A-Ming. Although this way of making money is not as fast as drawing illustrations, the feeling of holding a comic book in your hand is so wonderful. It is a romance that belongs only to the creator. From now on, they can be considered to have a masterpiece.

Wei Ming understands Aaron very well. He was also very excited when he first got "Animal Fierceness".

Now part of the second volume of the comic book "Heroes Have Always Been Young" has been drawn. Aaron's team of assistants has expanded from two to three, and the efficiency will be improved.

Biaozi took the comic book and took a look. He turned directly to the back page where the heroine "Young Wife" made her first appearance. He looked left and right, comparing her with Huang Qiuyan.

Then he concluded: "Your painting is not as beautiful as our swallow."

Yan Zi gave him an elbow directly on the heart, letting you talk nonsense.

Mei Wenhua: Damn, this is so infuriating, I even want to elbow him!

A-Long spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. I didn't know Sister Yan when I was painting. Who told you not to introduce her to us earlier?"

Wei Ming took a bite of food and said, "Don't show off. The director almost didn't cast Yan Zi because she was too pretty. This role doesn't need to be too pretty. What's important is to be heroic."

Huang Qiuyan filled her glass with wine: "I can get this role, the first credit must go to Brother Ming, I toast to you."

Wei Ming didn't want to drink too much, but the heroine had already finished her drink, so Wei Ming didn't want to take a sip, so he had to toast her. The wine was a bit strong.

After a glass of wine, Wei Ming began to instruct Huang Qiuyan again: "Before the official start of the filming, you need to cultivate your fierce temperament. I suggest you use a slingshot to practice, and pull your ears more often."

Huang Qiuyan agreed with a smile.

Biaozi: "Brother Ming, am I still your brother?"

Mei Wenhua: "What do you know? Beating is love and scolding is care. Yanzi, you should use some strength when the time comes."

Afterwards, Wei Ming said to Biaozi: "Axiang is going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. Come with me to see him off and we can talk about letting you join the group."

"Okay," he asked Mei Wenhua, "Will it delay our trip south?"

Mei Wenhua: "Our car tonight."

"That's good. By the way, what is Xiang taking? Will it be a bus?"

Wei Ming: "Don't think about it, they're taking a plane."

However, Mei Wenhua felt a little depressed while drinking. It was easier for them to take leave during the summer vacation, which was the best time to make money. But Biaozi wanted to join the crew to accompany his wife. Wouldn't he have to run business by himself in the future?

Aaron, who didn't drink much after dinner, took Wei Ming, who had drunk a lot, back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

Wei Ming wanted to show him "The Battle of Ancient and Modern Times and the Love of Qin Terracotta Warriors" and draw a few illustrations for the storytelling club.

However, when Liu Rulong opened the door of Wei Ming's house, he saw a beautiful sister wearing an apron and holding a broom, cleaning the house.

Liu Rulong was sure that this was not Wei Ming's mother.

And he was sure that he did not open the wrong door, because he remembered the two paintings in the living room.

When Zhu Lin saw Wei Ming coming back with another boy, he was also frightened. He wanted to hide but didn't know where to hide, so he just stood there awkwardly.

Fortunately, A-Long was shocked: "Well, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Ming, you should have a good rest."

After saying that, he threw Wei Ming aside and left. After going downstairs, he was still muttering, no wonder A Ming could write a couple combination like a grown man and a young wife, it turns out he just likes older people!

Haha, the real man is you~
Wei Ming wasn't actually drunk enough to pass out. He staggered forward and threw himself into Zhu Lin's arms. He smelled so good and was so soft.

"Xiao Wei, you, you are so heavy."

After A'long left, Zhu Lin could only help Wei Ming into the room with difficulty, and then put his slippers on and covered him with a quilt.

Wei Ming: "It's hot, I haven't taken off my clothes yet~"

Zhu Lin curled his lips, reached into the quilt with both hands, and took off his coat first.

Wei Ming moved his legs: "Pants, pants."

Zhu Lin was angry. He thought he shouldn't have come here on a whim today. In fact, she hadn't been here for several days. If she hadn't come, he wouldn't have come to look for her.

In the end, the eldest sister was not reserved enough and came to help Wei Ming's house with cleaning, and then was blocked by others.

"It's my turn!" Sister Lin gritted her teeth and touched Wei Ming's belt.

The first time a woman unties a man's belt is just like the first time a man unties a woman's camisole. It's a simple thing, but because of nervousness, they just can't do it well, and then they are so flustered that they touch places they shouldn't touch.

Zhu Lin hypnotized himself: I am a medical worker, this is nothing.

As a result, she exerted force suddenly and pulled down Wei Ming's briefs.

Fortunately, there was a blanket covering him, otherwise Zhu Lin would have been able to conduct some physiological research at close range.

Wei Ming felt cool down there, so comfortable, that’s how he liked sleeping!
"Sister Lin, thank you." Wei Ming held her hand.

Zhu Lin: "You're welcome. I'm just repaying you for teaching me acting."

"So how are you doing with your studies? Are you still sticking with your oral exercises?"

Zhu Lin stuck out her tongue flexibly, and suddenly her arm was grabbed, and she fell on Wei Ming. Wei Ming held her waist and covered her with his mouth. He wanted to check her homework!
However, Zhu Lin pushed Wei Ming away as soon as they kissed, and covered her mouth with her hands with watery eyes. Although she was curious about the feeling of kissing, your mouth was full of the smell of alcohol, which didn't feel good at all!
Besides, Wei Ming was drunk and had sex with someone who was drunk. He would probably have forgotten about it when he woke up. I couldn't let this happen in silence.

Wei Ming was so angry. Why did he drink? Is it too late to brush his teeth now?

It was too late, Zhu Lin left the room and said at the door: "I'll go get you some hangover soup."

However, when she brought in the soup, Wei Ming had already fallen asleep, and he was not sleeping soundly. His quilt was messy and half of his butt was exposed.

Zhu Lin held her forehead and retreated. If this continued, there would be nothing on Wei Ming that she had not seen before.

The next day, when Wei Ming woke up from his hangover, Zhu Lin had already left. He left a note telling him that he was going to work and made him a new hangover soup that he could drink after he woke up.

While drinking the hangover soup, Wei Ming recalled whether something happened between him and Sister Lin last night. He vaguely remembered that Sister Lin took off his pants and tried to kiss him forcefully.

Wei Ming patted his head: Did she succeed? Why can't I remember?

There is no time to think about it, I have to go and see it off.

Then when Wei Ming came downstairs, he was shocked. Where is my motorcycle? !

Oh, by the way, it seemed that Aaron took me back last night on a motorcycle. Because he drank a little too much and was determined not to drink and drive, he probably rode away again.

Wei Ming had no choice but to take the bus to the south gate of Peking University. As soon as he arrived at the station, he saw Biaozi waiting for him on a motorcycle.

"You're finally here, get in the car and go!"

They rushed all the way to the Yanjing Hotel and found Axiang. In addition to Xu Xiaoming, Zhen Zidan was standing behind him.

Xu Xiaoming was sending someone off, while Zhen Zidan was going back to Hong Kong with A Xiang, who wanted to introduce him to his brother Yuan Heping.

All the members of the Yuan family are ugly, so they are basically behind-the-scenes staff and never come to the stage. Although Zhen Zidan is not that good-looking, he is definitely better than the others, and he is young, so he may become a new generation of kung fu star.

"Handsome Ming, A Biao, I am leaving soon. Although I will be back, I want to tell you my real name. My name is Yuen Cheung Yan. I don't know if you have heard of "Drunken Master". The director of this movie is my brother Yuen Woo-ping, and the Su Qi'er in the movie is my father Yuen Siu-tin."

Wei Ming immediately said “Oh oh oh”, as if he had heard of your great name for a long time.

The same is true for Biaozi. Although he was not reborn, he has been in Shenzhen, Guangzhou for a long time. He has actually watched the video tape of "Drunken Master". When he heard that A Xiang was actually the son of Su Qier, he immediately felt that Su Qier was just like that.

Yuan Xiangren said to Biaozi again: "A Biao, can you take off your shirt?"

"what?"

"Take it off and see."

Wei Ming: "Just take it off if I tell you to."

Biaozi felt a little shy, but finally took it off, and heard a bunch of "wows".

He has huge muscles. If Wei Ming is a thin-muscled boy, then Biaozi is The Rock. Of course, he is not in perfect form, but with his height, he still looks very oppressive to everyone present.

Yuan Xiangren and Xu Xiaoming smiled at each other, meaning it's not bad.

Xu Xiaoming said: "We plan to let you, A Biao, play the biggest villain in the movie."

Wei Ming originally just wanted Biaozi to go in as a martial artist or a stuntman, but he didn't expect that these two guys would actually want him to be the villain.

Wei Ming looked at Biaozi again. Although he looked a little younger, with makeup and a new look, he really looked a bit like that.

Biaozi panicked: "I, I can't do it, I can't act?"

Xu Xiaoming said: "Don't worry, this big boss has very few scenes. In the early stage, he is mainly shown from the back and side to maintain a sense of mystery. In the end, he will have a fight with the protagonists."

Wei Ming laughed and said, "And in the script, you, the villain, were stabbed to death by the heroine in the end."

"What, he was stabbed to death by the heroine?!"

Biaozi immediately became interested. This was not quite the same as in the novel, but he found the thought of being stabbed to death by Yan Zi exciting.

"Okay, I'll take this job!"
