Chapter 225 Learning Zhao Wenzhuo's Mid-Air Kick with a Knife
Hengdian, the Qingming Riverside Scene Scenic Area.

Dragon King Temple.

Yang Tianbao wore an orange-red long dress underneath a beige outer garment.

Surrounded by a crowd of people and maids, he slowly walked up the steps.

The photographer's lens was aimed at Yang Tianbao's feet, capturing her small, white feet that were faintly visible beneath her skirt.

One foot was pure white, while the other was adorned with a fabric woven from red rope, creating a striking contrast of red and white that was truly beautiful.

But in reality, this was a last resort.

Yang Tianbao is really not a suitable actor.

Normal actors need training in lines, physical movements, and vocals, but she had none of those.

When dancing, their limbs are stiff, they often move in the same direction, and they use the same hand and foot.

The lines were read aloud like a textbook.

Moreover, his facial expression was very strange.

During the filming process, the entire crew truly witnessed what it means to be ignorant and incompetent.

Old Ling was shocked, saying that this was the first time he had ever seen acting of this caliber, and it was almost like a kindergarten child faking tears.

A child's fake crying can make other children cry too, but Yang Tianbao's acting skills only make everyone present feel embarrassed.

Finally, Lao Ling said with a look of relief that he was lucky he didn't have any scenes with her, otherwise he wouldn't know how to continue acting.

Qi Hui chuckled upon hearing this; it was quite a sarcastic comment.

It's like a panda eating takeout and then having bamboo shoots delivered right to its door.

Later, Qi Hui also went to observe the scene and saw Xu Ke teaching Yang Tianbao with sweat dripping down his face.

To teach Yang Tianbao, he even personally demonstrated, snuggling into men's arms in various ways with alluring postures and charming expressions.

You should know that Xu Ke is now over sixty years old, with gray hair, gray beard, and a face full of wrinkles.

It must have been really difficult for him to make those expressions and gestures.

Even so, the old man still managed to draw Kim Bum, who was playing the role of Young Master Yuan, into the role several times.

Kim Bum wanted to continue acting several times, but only realized what was happening after being stopped.

Qi Hui watched with a sigh, thinking that Xu Ke was quite talented as an actor even if he wasn't a director.

Yang Tianbao, on the other hand, laughed heartily, especially when he saw Xu Ke snuggling into Jin Fan's arms, he couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Ke was so angry that his blood pressure rose. You know, he used to work with actresses like Brigitte Lin, Joey Wong, and Maggie Cheung.

With just a few simple words, they can meet their requirements, and even do better.

And now... I wonder if Xu Ke is secretly taking blood pressure medication.

However, even after teaching him to this extent, Yang Tianbao still could not meet his requirements.

Therefore, Xu Ke rarely gave Yang Tianbao a chance to showcase his acting skills. Whenever Yang Tianbao recited his lines, the cameraman would shoot his back, his feet, or other parts of his body.

If it really came down to a situation where she couldn't avoid saying her lines, Xu Ke would have her put on a mask before speaking.

Xu Ke also decided that when it came time to edit and add special effects, he wouldn't give her a chance. Whenever she needed to act or recite lines, he would immediately switch scenes and add special effects.

In short, Yang Tianbao must not be allowed to demonstrate his professional abilities.

Because she simply lacks professional skills!

Under these circumstances, Yang Tianbao's screen time was naturally reduced again and again.

Xu Ke secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would never use this person again!

He's already sixty; he can't handle that kind of mental and physical strain.

Qi Hui looked at all of this and suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I always felt something was off when I watched this show before I traveled through time; now I understand.

Soon, under Xu Ke's meticulous control, Yang Tianbao's scenes were finished, and he fell into a coma under the influence of the sleeping gas.

For the next scene, she can simply remain unconscious throughout.

Yang Tianbao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

It's another show, and she gets paid for it. She couldn't wait for more shows like this.

"Ling Sheng, get ready, it's your turn," Xu Ke called out, his tone relaxed.

Ling Xiaosu stroked the short beard on his chin, nodded slightly, and waved to indicate that he was ready.

In this scene, the protagonist Di Renjie, played by Lao Ling, discovers that someone is trying to kidnap a courtesan and seizes a horse from the Dali Temple to rush to her rescue.

Then he fought with three thugs. While galloping on horseback, he was spotted by Yu Chi Zhenjin, played by Qi Hui, who then arrived with a large group of men.

To be honest, the original Zhao Youting's fight scene was really disappointing, with slow movements and weak punches.

To cover these up, Xu Ke used a rapid editing technique and added a few special effects, which barely managed to conceal the flaws.

"All unauthorized personnel, leave the set! Prepare for filming!" the assistant director shouted. "Attention, all departments!"

Soon, everyone on set got moving, the wires were in place, and the actors and cameramen were in position.

The executive director looked at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke took a sip of water and signaled the executive director to continue.

He's feeling a bit tired right now and doesn't really want to talk.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

At the command, filming began, and under the direction of the assistant director, each shot was executed in an orderly manner.

Xu Ke was initially feeling weak and listless, but as he watched the monitor, he gradually sat up straight.

Ling Xiaosu's martial arts were better than he had expected; his punches and kicks were powerful and solid.

This eased his depressed mood a little.

The main problem is that in those previous scenes, his bottom line was already being crossed, almost to the very core of the earth.

Seeing such crisp and clean footage now makes me feel really good.

"Qi Hui, it's your turn," the executive director called out.

"Here you are," Qi Hui replied in a deep voice. He was wearing an official hat, and underneath it was dark red hair.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his expression was sharp and his brilliance was fully revealed.

His face was clean-shaven; his beard had been removed.

Xu Ke wanted Yuchi Zhenjin, who was the number one expert in the Tang Dynasty, as sharp as a sword.

The beard somewhat obscured Qi Hui's refined appearance, so it was removed.

This fight scene is the first fight scene for Yuchi Zhenjin, played by Qi Hui, at least from the perspective of the movie's plot.

The opponent is the head of the human traffickers, the leader of the bandits, a character who overwhelms Di Renjie and forces him to flee everywhere.

The main purpose was to showcase Yuchi Zhenjin's powerful martial arts skills.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Qi Hui spun around, and with the help of the wires, he resembled a spinning, advancing spearhead.

The sharpest point is the protruding tip of the knife.

clang!
The bandit leader blocked it with his iron hand, and then thrust his fist blade toward Qi Hui's face.

Qi Hui pushed his long sword forward and dodged to the side.

At the same time, the blade was pressed down and spun, and the opponent's weapon was controlled with just one knife.

The camera focuses on the leader of the robbers, who is trying to break free and continues to struggle.

Qi Hui didn't give him a chance. He pulled back his right hand, which was gripping the knife, and suddenly slapped forward with his left hand, striking the side of the hilt of the knife.

Instantly, the Tang sword spun around the bandit leader's neck.

Qi Hui grabbed the hilt of the knife and slit his own throat.

The movements were clean, smooth, and incredibly efficient.

"Holy crap!" Xu Ke jumped up, his face full of shock: "What happened? How come they added special effects while we were still filming?"

The scene of the knife twirling around his neck was something he planned to achieve using special effects.

Not only Qi Hui, but also the executive director and cinematographer were all shocked.

Especially the photographer hanging up there.

He was the one who saw that scene most directly.

The shock was... quite overwhelming!
With a sword on his shoulder, Qi Hui stood with a casual step, striking a stylish pose to conclude the final shot.

As for the director and the others' shock... it's no big deal.
I'll find an opportunity later to learn Zhao Wenzhuo's aerial knife kick and show them what it's like.

"Very good, that's enough... never mind, just hit the clapperboard." The assistant director realized what was happening and managed to shout it out.

Xu Ke watched the monitor twice, and the more he watched, the more astonished he became.

"This handsome guy is amazing..." he muttered. His kung fu was incredible, unlike what he said about not knowing martial arts.
So it's true that Donnie Yen was beaten by him?
