Chapter 93: Veterans and Newcomers in the Film Crew

"Does Li Chang'an know anyone in the club?"

"We met by chance."

"Hey, Li Chang'an's life is full of surprises."

Under the moonlit night, Li Chang'an rode a mountain horse to take Wen Zhilan to Taiping Mountain.

Wen Zhilan sat in the back seat, her arms gently wrapped around Li Chang'an's waist. Looking at the tall and straight back of the young man in front of her, she felt a strong urge to ask him many questions.

But she knew that prying into other people's personal boundaries was an offense.

Just like when Su Xingning told him that there was a girl next door to Li Chang'an who could freely enter and leave his room, and that the two had an ambiguous relationship.

Wen Zhilan had always wanted to know who that person was.

The girl could do something that even I could never achieve.

Even though she had the advantage of being close to the source, it was enough to prove her superb skills and shrewdness, which made Wen Zhilan admire her.

Although Wen Zhilan regarded her as a major enemy, she still suppressed her desire to find out information about her.

Because the time is not yet right.

Wen Zhilan often heard her father say that in life and in business, one must learn to be patient.

The best strategy is to avoid making mistakes.

Quietly waiting for your competitors to stumble is the key to overtaking them.

She felt that she should have the same patience when facing Li Chang'an.

She has already obtained Xing Ning's "permission" to have an affair, so she no longer needs to feel too guilty towards Xing Ning. From now on, she can be with him legitimately.

Given this situation, Wen Zhilan felt she should adjust her strategy and start planning gradually.

Sai Wan, Shek Tong Tsui.

Wen Zhilan considers him a formidable enemy with deep cunning and superb skills, and he is currently teasing Peppa and George with foxtail grass.

Xiao Tang originally wanted to imitate the kids downstairs who teased kittens and puppies with dog tails, directing the animals to dance.

As a result, Peppa and George completely ignored the foxtail grass's teasing and gnawed it clean.

, "

Ruan Xiaotang looked at the two rabbits chewing on foxtail grass and helplessly poked their increasingly round bellies.

She somewhat regretted getting the rabbits; although they were very cute, they didn't interact with her, their little owner, at all.

I wonder who he learned this habit of only eating rice and sleeping in late from.

She tugged at Paige and George's ears, huffing and puffing, "Eat, eat, all you do is eat! If you get any rounder, Brother Chang'an will make you into dishes!"

"What should I eat with this?"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a door opening behind me.

When Ruan Xiaotang saw Li Chang'an return, she immediately abandoned Paige and George.

She circled around Li Chang'an like Papa and George did with a carrot.

"Brother Chang'an, you're finally back! Can you take me with you next time you go to a motorcycle race? I want to watch you compete too!"

Li Chang'an shook his head and said, "You have school tomorrow and homework to do and review tonight. What are you looking at, motorcycles?"

Li Chang'an suddenly stopped speaking, "Right, speaking of homework—why are you at my house now?"

Aunt Shen wouldn't let you come at this time!

Xiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "I did my homework beforehand today, and then my mom allowed me to come over and play!"

Li Chang'an, however, did not believe it.

"Then I'll have to suggest to Aunt Shen that you haven't been doing enough homework lately."

"9

Xiao Tang immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "How can you give people extra homework?!"

"You're not home, and Xiao Ning went to work at the blacksmith's shop. The air conditioner and TV are just sitting there unused, what a waste! — Right! I still need to feed Peppa and George!"

"Who told you not to take good care of our little bunnies?"

"Peppa and George are your little bunnies, not mine. My little bunnies were cooked long ago."

Li Chang'an corrected Xiao Tang's wording, and then ignored her as she continued to ramble on.

He believed that Xiao Tang must have sneaked into the house.

But even when Aunt Shen wasn't looking, she didn't have a key to her own house.

unless----

Seeing Xiaotang's ashen face, Li Chang'an went into his bedroom and found two footprints on the windowsill.

He opened the window and saw that his room's window was only an arm's length away from Xiaotang's room's window.

A rope made of two bed sheets was hanging between the two windows.

Li Chang'an said admiringly, "Xiao Tang, your skills are truly amazing; you can even scale walls and rooftops."

When Ruan Xiaotang saw that Li Chang'an was not as fierce as she had expected, but instead praised her generously, she felt that it was her bravery and wit that had won over Li Chang'an.

In high spirits, she laughed and said, "Many people at school praise my athletic ability. Climbing over a wall is nothing. When you're not home, I often climb over the wall like this to play."

Seeing that Xiao Tang was very pleased with herself after being praised, Li Chang'an knew that the ambitious Xiao Tang definitely wanted her deeds to be spread as much as possible, and the more people who knew about them, the happier she would be.

So Li Chang'an turned around and told Aunt Shen about Xiao Tang's heroic deeds.

Xiaotang:

The next morning, Li Chang'an met Xiao Tang at the breakfast table after finishing his morning exercise.

Unfortunately, Xiao Tang pouted and ignored him, no longer circling around him like before.

Later, when taking her to school, Xiao Tang declared on the way that Li Chang'an had let her down, and that she would ignore the "traitor" for a whole month as punishment.

Li Chang'an didn't believe her and challenged her to a bet: "You'll definitely be begging me to talk to you within three days. If I lose, you can watch TV at home whenever you want."

If you lose, you'll have to clean my house for a week.

Xiao Tang scoffed, confident of victory: "You underestimate me. How could I be so spineless?"

Do you think I'm Peppa Pig or George? You can bully me all you want and I won't hold a grudge, I'll wag my tail for a few scraps of cabbage!

"I am not a rabbit, I am a proud lone wolf!"

After saying that, Xiao Tang slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, leaving Li Chang'an with a solitary back view, and strode into the school gate with a fierce air.

Unfortunately, Li Chang'an did not take Ruan Xiaotang's carefully crafted, seemingly ruthless declaration to heart.

He drove to Castle Peak Road in Kowloon.

The class monitor was going to develop camera film today, so she didn't come.

Without the quirky and clever class monitor, Li Chang'an was really finding it hard to adjust.

Even if the class monitor came today, he wouldn't have time to fool around with her.

Today is the last day of filming on set, and also the most important day.

The crew will travel to the New Territories of Hong Kong to film two outdoor action scenes featuring Hwang Jang-lee as the main villain, one at the beginning and one at the end.

The number of people present also shows the importance of today.

Normally, Li Chang'an and Chen Yuanlong are among the first three to arrive.

But when Li Chang'an arrived at the film set today, he found that Director Yuan's crew had already gathered there.

Besides Director Yuan's earlier request for everyone to arrive early, the entire crew was also looking forward to filming the final, crucial scene and wrapping up the production successfully.

After half an hour.

A bus slowly drove up to the entrance of the Qingshan Road film set.

After Director Yuen called everyone on set to get into the car, they prepared to go to Hong Kong Island and the New Territories to shoot outdoor scenes.

Since Wen Zhilan didn't come, Li Chang'an, the only one who understood English and Korean, sat next to Huang Zhengli and Director Yuan.

Sitting next to Director Yuan was a man with sharp features and slightly sunken eyes.

Director Yuan introduced Li Chang'an: "Anzai, this is Master Ma, a senior martial arts master of the hard-hitting style, who also has real kung fu skills. He will play the Snake Style Sect leader who will fight against Master Huang in a moment."

"Hello, Master Ma."

Master Ma looked him up and down and said, "So you're Anzai. I've heard Director Yuan praise you for a long time, saying that it's lucky that Longzai picked up such a treasure as you."

"This young man is quite good; he's so young and his pay for this film is higher than mine, an old Shaw Brothers martial arts instructor."

Although Master Ma was polite on the surface, he actually acted with the superior attitude of a senior martial arts master, secretly finding fault with him.

Li Chang'an, on the other hand, didn't feel anything.

He didn't care about the pay for kung fu movies, and he certainly didn't care about the seniority system or the rigid hierarchy in the martial arts world.

Therefore, he didn't take Master Ma's dissatisfaction to heart at all.

Seeing that the narrator didn't react to Master Ma, he lost interest in continuing the conversation and went straight to sit down next to Huang Zhengli.

Huang Zhengli watched Li Chang'an walk over and sit down, and said with some surprise, "Anzai, your kung fu has improved again!"

Master Ma knew a few words of English, and he barely understood what Huang Zhengli was saying. He asked curiously, "Master Huang, how did you tell the depth of Anzai's kung fu from just his walking and sitting movements?"

Huang Zhengli explained, "In our country, there is a saying, 'A tiger's gait resembles illness.'"

It means that when a tiger walks, it looks sickly and not at all fierce.

But how could a tiger really be sick? This is called concealing one's strength; it's a symbol of a tiger reaching its peak of power, where its strength becomes invisible and intangible.

Master Ma raised an eyebrow.

"Is it really that mysterious? Master Wong means, could Anzai be a tiger? He's only eighteen years old, how high could his kung fu be?"

Huang Zhengli smiled. With his status, he didn't need to be polite to anyone. He said directly, "When Anzai walks, his steps seem light and slow, but in fact, his feet are firmly planted. His breath is contained and not superficial, like a tiger walking. This is a manifestation of a high level of stance training."

As for young people not being that good at kung fu? Heh.

To be honest, only mediocre people care about age and seniority.

True geniuses, even after only six months of training, are still admired by some self-important veterans for a lifetime.

Master Ma's face darkened instantly. He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and remained silent.
