Chapter 129 Big Foot Opens to the Movie Emperor's Butt
Zhou Le had only one thought: stop pretending in front of someone like Jiang Wen.

After all, people have seen everything.

Yu Shuxin didn't get any useful information, but she thought it was normal after thinking about it, after all, the man was indeed a veteran.

So she simply stopped thinking about it.

Do as much as you are able to do.

If you are not selected, it means you are not capable enough.

Zhou Le was calculating the time. He could only stay on "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" for more than a month before he had to go back to Shanghai. After all, only the final scenes in the city were left in "Speeding Life". Although his shots were not many, it would take some time to shoot.

The schedule should be adjustable.

"Can't this system reward me with a clone? If that doesn't work, then just stop time."

Zhou Le was lost in thought.

After Yu Shuxin finished writing her film review for today, she saw Zhou Le sitting on the bed in a daze, so she woke Zhou Le up and talked about her plans for the second half of the year.

The first is "Speeding Life" which has not been completed yet and "Hidden Man" which is about to start shooting.

Jiang Wen was originally planning to release the film at the end of this year, but looking at the release schedule now, it will definitely not be released until then.

But the next one is "My People, My Country". Now Xu Zheng, Wen Muye and Ning Hao all have ideas, and Zhou Le estimates that he should be able to be on at least one of them.

"Joy of Life" will not start filming until the beginning of next year. From now until the end of the year, we will select actors, arrange scenes, customize costumes and props, etc.

Although there will be a certain overlap in time with "My People, My Country", the beginning stages of "Joy of Life" will be performed by children, so I don't need to be present.

In addition, there are various film festivals, activities on major Internet platforms and various dinners.

Although Zhou Le did not endorse those luxury brands, considering Zhou Le's image, he still received some invitations.

Thinking about getting free clothes and free meals, Zhou Le finally decided to go.

After all, the dinners hosted by these luxury goods and fashion magazines are definitely of very high standards, at least much better than what you usually eat.

However, the next day, Yu Shuxin still went to find Jiang Wen, but considering the impact and the fact that Yu Shuxin was Zhou Le's assistant, he also specially brought Zhou Le and Liao Fan over.

As expected, Yu Shuxin was only asked a few questions and then performed a short scene before the audition ended.

Throughout the entire process, Yu Shuxin spoke in her own natural accent.

Because she also knew who was sitting in front of her.

Jiang Wen, a representative of male chauvinism.

If you keep speaking in a low voice, the other person will inevitably think you are too frivolous. It is best to just reflect your personality in your daily life.

At the same time, she also studied some of Jiang Wen's previous films last night, most of which were of a certain period.

In addition, "Hidden Man" was set during the war years, so she also specially wore a floral dress from that period.

She looks like a pretty little country girl.

(It’s simpler than this one, I put this one here because it looks good)
Sure enough, after seeing this outfit, Jiang Wen immediately asked Yu Shuxin to play the bullied young wife, and asked Zhou Le to play the bully.

Fortunately, Yu Shuxin usually finds clips to practice and has played many roles like this. Especially when taking a shower, she always subconsciously hugs her chest in front of the mirror and practices for a short while.

That's when it comes in handy.

Although Zhou Le was very handsome, it was difficult for her to associate him with the perverted ugly man in the village. However, when she thought about how she was suppressed by Zhou Le all night, all kinds of aggrieved and fearful emotions surged up uncontrollably.

After the performance, Jiang Wen nodded and said, "Okay, girl, go out first. I'll talk to them."

Yu Shuxin nodded obediently, then bowed to the three of them.

"Thank you Brother Le, thank you Director Jiang, thank you Teacher Liao."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After Yu Shuxin left, Jiang Wen turned around and asked, "Le'er, how do you feel?"

Zhou Le smiled and said, "Director Jiang, I'm just here to serve as a foil today, and since Yu Shuxin is my person, it's not appropriate for me to express my opinions. But Director Jiang and Teacher Liao are welcome to comment on her performance."

"It's okay, just talk about it. We are all family, and everyone is willing to bend their elbows. If I were worried about this, she wouldn't even have the chance to come."

"Well, I personally think her acting is still a little lacking. For example, the fear in her eyes just now wasn't that strong, and her lines were a little lacking in meaning. Some parts were too exaggerated, and some were too bland."

Zhou Le said this on purpose, so that he would have a way out no matter whether Jiang Wen and Liao Fan said good or bad things.

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "You are quite cunning, but Lao Liao also wants to give some comments."

Liao Fan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I think her looks are quite suitable for the role of Xu Qing. There's a sense of contrast. As for her acting skills, I think they're more than adequate.

Although Le Er could have played the role of the young wife better than she did, people can be trained, but this requires Le Er to teach by example. She can give roles that don't have that many scenes but are more contrasting.

Jiang Wen nodded. What Liao Fan said was relatively reasonable, but he could understand what Zhou Le said. After all, it was the art of language.

"Actually, after watching her performance just now, I had an idea. Wasn't she said to be practicing martial arts recently? And I happen to have an interesting character here, that is Lan Lan."

Zhou Le just got the script last night. Although he read it roughly, he was not very impressed by Lan Lan.

But Liao Fan had already got the script, and when he heard Lan Lan's words, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Hahaha, this role is interesting. If she plays it, it will definitely be a stark contrast."

"Then let her play this role. We haven't found an actor for this role yet, and there's a martial arts role. We can ask the martial arts actors to teach her. She should be able to do it in a few months."

So Yu Shuxin's role was decided.

Zhou Le never thought that Yu Shuxin would get any important role from the beginning, and now it is quite OK that she has martial arts scenes.

Sure enough, after Zhou Le went out, he found Yu Shuxin and told her about this. Yu Shuxin was as happy as if it was New Year's Day.

Not only are there lines, there is even a martial arts scene.

So he kept pestering Zhou Le all day long, wanting to see what his script looked like.

"Wait a moment, you can only get your notebook after the computer is turned on."

This is also Jiang Wen’s request.

During the period before filming started, the main actors in the crew had to hold script meetings every day, but those who had martial arts scenes like Zhou Le and Liao Fan also had to practice physical fitness and martial arts moves.

This was also Zhou Le’s first official experience in action scenes. His previous roles in Wolf Warrior were just minor fights.

After the script meeting ended that afternoon, Jiang Wen brought Liao Fan, Zhou Le and the martial artists from the crew to a relatively open place in Gubei Water Town.

Both the martial artist and Liao Fan need to understand Zhou Le's martial arts skills first.

"I heard you practice modern fighting. Coincidentally, Lao Liao has done the movie 'Master' before and has some martial arts background. Why don't you two have a fight first?"

Zhou Le looked at Liao Fan who was eager to try, and he was not afraid of him. Although Liao Fan had practiced, he had not been learning martial arts since childhood after all.

He had also crammed the movie "Master" before coming here. The moves in the movie were all aimed at either death or injury, but who wouldn't do that?
In my mind, all the moves that involve physical violence will either result in death or injury, and each move will target the vital points.

"Le'er, I'm really teaching you this from a professional. If you can't stand it, just stop."

Hearing this, Zhou Lele was happy: "Okay, but Brother Liao, you better be smart later, because I might not be very careful."

However, Liao Fan didn't believe it at all. He thought that an actor who majored in civil engineering would just have some stamina at best.

Soon the competition began.

Although Liao Fan only practiced for a few months, he practiced day and night. Just by looking at him, he could see that Zhou Le was full of flaws.

But after all, Zhou Le was young, so he was still cautious.

"Come."

Liao Fan hooked his finger.

Zhou Le instantly imagined Shen Teng shouting, "Come here!"

"coming."

Street fights between thugs are all about taking the initiative.

As Zhou Le moved, he reached into his pocket, took it out and immediately made a finger-snapping motion.

This trick is a pre-fight sleight of hand to blind people with cigarette butts.

But Liao Fan didn't see clearly, and thought that Zhou Le really threw something at him, so he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was too slow. Zhou Le took two or three steps with his long legs and came in front of Liao Fan, then raised his leg and kicked him in the crotch!

"Fuck!"

When Liao Fan saw that Zhou Le's moves were so despicable, she immediately put her legs together, and her posture was like the maids or princesses in Qing Dynasty palace dramas who would slightly bend their knees and bow their heads to greet people of higher status than themselves.

It's just that Liao Fan's movement was a bit bigger. Liao Fan's greetings helped him avoid the vital parts, but because he leaned sideways in a hurry, Zhou Le's kick landed directly on Liao Fan's butt.

"Oh, shit!"

The next moment, Liao Fan limped to the side, holding his butt.

"Why do you come up and kick me in the groin?"

The martial artist stood aside, wanting to laugh but not daring to. After all, he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him, but Jiang Wen was almost laughing to the point of falling down.

Zhou Le explained innocently, "Isn't this a life-and-death struggle? This kick from me will definitely make my opponent lose his fighting ability."

Liao Fan was still rubbing his butt: "Then you played something for me at the beginning."

"Cigarette butt? It's just that I'm performing without props. Of course, even if I really had a cigarette butt in my hand, I wouldn't flick it at your face, Brother Liao. After all, this is just a sparring match between us."

Liao Fan: “.”

What a great performance without props. I really believed it.

Jiang Wen high-fived and said, "I think it's fine. This martial arts concept is very traditional and efficient."

Liao Fan rubbed his butt for a long time before he recovered.

"Start over, you can't use the crotch kick."

"alright."

After that, the two continued to fight, but just when Zhou Le carried Liao Fan, grabbed Liao Fan's arm, threw Liao Fan to the ground, and then turned over and rode on him to strangle Liao Fan to death, the martial artist hurriedly called for a stop.

He could see that Zhou Le's playing style was completely non-mainstream.

If the fight continues like this, Liao Fan will probably die here.

Liao Fan was confused. Zhou Le usually looked funny, but he also spoke properly. Why did he act like a desperado when he started fighting?
This isn't a fight in an octagonal cage, but even if it were, it wouldn't necessarily mean someone would die on the spot!
The martial artist volunteered to go into battle himself.

Zhou Le looked at the other person's body shape. He was not too strong, about 1.75 meters tall, about half a head shorter than himself.

Therefore, I have an idea that the martial artist will definitely not dare to use harsh means on me.

Jiang Wen had originally planned to watch the real kung fu on Sunday, but now he was watching the fight just for fun.

In the subsequent competition, it was discovered that Zhou Le actually only had a few tricks, making full use of all the opponent's weaknesses and all parts of the body that could be used as weapons.

Coupled with the size advantage and status difference, the martial artist was beaten back repeatedly for a while.

The first time Zhou Le put his hand on the martial artist's head, the martial artist quickly shouted to stop.

Because he saw Zhou Le was about to pull his hair.

The second time Zhou Le stretched out his hand to poke his eyes, the martial artist quickly turned his head and shouted to stop, indicating that moves such as poking eyes and poking throats could not be used during sparring.

"Well, stabbing the throat doesn't work anymore. That's my trump card."

The third time they fought, they became entangled with each other, but Zhou Le had the weight advantage, and he pressed the opponent under him while rolling. Seeing that the opponent was wide open, and he had to hold the opponent tightly with both hands, he opened his mouth and was about to bite the opponent's neck.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Jiang Wen now understood that Zhou Le was indeed powerful, but his moves were extremely despicable.

If he were thrown into ancient times, he would be a villain, but among hooligans, he would definitely be the big brother.

"Hey, Le, don't bite him to death. This is the only martial artist we have hired for our crew. If you bite him to death, we won't have anyone else to use."

"No, no, it's just a sparring match, so we have to stop at a certain point. I was just trying to scare him."

At this time, the martial artists who were pinned to the ground were speechless.

You open your mouth so wide that I can even see your throat clearly.

Okay, you did scare me.

At the same time, he was also thinking that if Zhou Le was thrown into Young and Dangerous, he would at least be at the level of Crow.

But considering the environment at that time, if he didn't die, there was no guarantee that he would not become the next Hongxing God of War.

After Zhou Le got up from the other person, he kindly extended his hand and pulled the martial artist up as well.

"Accepted."

The martial artist screamed in his heart, "You're crazy! Why are you giving in?"

But he didn't dare show it on his face, after all, he was the second male lead in the movie.

"Teacher Zhou has a very good foundation and strong combat skills, but the expressiveness of his moves isn't quite suitable for movies. Audiences want to see a back-and-forth. Teacher Zhou's moves are like a men's volleyball match—very passionate, but a little less entertaining."

The martial artist himself didn't receive much education. Apart from basic literacy and arithmetic, he spent the rest of his life dealing with martial arts.

In order to evaluate Zhou Le with high emotional intelligence, he racked his brains and used all his life's knowledge.

But Jiang Wen understood.

"What he meant was that it was too vulgar and would be inappropriate for a movie. You should learn some proper moves."

"Hey, okay."

Zhou Le was also a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do, after all, this was all he knew.

Although I can learn if I don’t know how, I don’t have the time on Saturday.

Therefore, for the next period of time, Zhou Le and Liao Fan spent the whole day learning martial arts moves from the martial artists.

Every time we learned a section, we would start practicing it that afternoon.

But before each sparring session, Liao Fan repeatedly stressed that absolutely no moves other than those taught by the martial arts instructor should be used.

After all, he was scared by Zhou Le's kick at that time.

He is an actor after all. Where can he put his face if he gets kicked in the butt all day long?

I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do. I always behave myself when acting with others.

However, after friendly negotiations and consultations, Zhou Le finally released the impulse that had been suppressed for several days.

He posted a Weibo post: "I can be considered someone who has kicked the best actor's ass."

Just after Zhou Le said this, fans became curious again.

Ice Demon: "Did Zhou Le offend some movie star? Why isn't his post on trending searches?"

Huanshi Meng Xiaoyao: "I haven't seen any trending searches for any artist, and a person as mercenary as Zhou Le wouldn't think of offending others."

William Hohenzollern: "Hahaha, I haven't offended anyone yet. I offended everyone I could at Weibo Night."

Ah W: "Why don't you kick the actor's butt? If you have that much strength, why not ravage me? Can you kick my butt? If you don't want to use your feet, you can use a whip. If that doesn't work, I can accept a data cable."

Fans are all guessing whose butt Zhou Le kicked.

But it is impossible for anyone in Jiang Wen's crew to leak this information. Everyone who comes in has to sign a confidentiality agreement, from the leading actors to the extras.

Even the food delivery person had to sign to be eligible to bid.

The entire crew filmed in a fully enclosed environment.

So this topic only lasted for two or three days and then lost its popularity, and even the marketing accounts didn't show much interest.

Unless the actor in question comes out and makes a tearful accusation.

Yu Shuxin was getting a little impatient waiting. After all, she couldn't get the script before filming started, so she couldn't officially start practicing her moves.

After all, there is only one martial artist, and now he has to teach the leading actor.

Although Zhou Le only knew some cheap moves, his physical fitness was there, and he had a foundation in pole dancing, so he was flexible enough and could practice those moves very quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen continued to add practice plans for Zhou Le, requiring him to practice parkour after reviewing the script and the movements every day.

Because there are several shots in the play where Zhou Le is climbing on rooftops.

Just two days before the filming started, Zhou Le continued to familiarize himself with the route of climbing walls and flying over rooftops.

Jiang Wen was watching from below. His original idea was to do normal parkour as required by the plot, but as he watched Zhou Le's agile movements, he thought about the physique Zhou Le had shown when they went out to take a bath together a few days ago.

Suddenly an idea came to my mind.

He decided to add some extra material to Zhou Le when filming that key scene.
