Chapter 94 Who is stronger, Master Huang or Master Li?

The New Territories is the largest area in Hong Kong, accounting for nearly 90% of the land area, but it is mostly barren mountains and villages with a very low level of urbanization.

This reason can be traced back to when the Qing Dynasty signed an unequal treaty, leasing the New Territories to Britain.

After the Qing government humiliatingly leased the land to Britain, the local clans in the New Territories resolutely refused to surrender.

Led by the Tang family, five major clans in the New Territories launched an armed resistance against the British. The six-day war, known as the "Six-Day War," was the only large-scale local war fought on Hong Kong Island during the British colonial period.

Although the clan system in the New Territories was ultimately defeated, it forced the British government to make many compromises, such as recognizing clan autonomy and protecting the land ownership rights of locals.

This also made it difficult for subsequent capital to develop the New Territories. To develop the New Territories, they had to negotiate with locals door-to-door and pay exorbitant compensation.

In the end, it turned out to be cheaper than reclaiming land in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.

As a result, large-scale development in the New Territories has been shelved until now, and the New Territories have always retained their rural character.

Young man, this is your first time in Unyielding Village. Here, village rules are more important than the law. Facing the invasion of foreign demons, you dare to draw your sword against them. Though it is a remote place, it is full of hidden talents and heroes.

As the bus stopped, a group of people got off, carrying cameras, lighting equipment, and protective gear.

As the crew got out of the car, Director Yuan discussed with his team which scene should be performed first and which should be performed later.

Some people say that we should flatter Master Ma first, because he is a higher-ranking and more senior figure than Lung-jai.

Some people say that the film should focus on the young actor, Lung-jai, first, because he is the lead actor and has a more important role in the film.

However, despite the fact that many people claimed they wanted to film Master Ma's scenes first, Director Yuen ultimately decided to film Chen Yuanlong's scenes first.

Master Ma didn't say anything about it.

But while everyone else got off the bus, he stayed on it, using "rest" as an excuse not to get off, saying that he would have someone come and call him when it was time to film his scene.

Li Chang'an didn't get involved in these seniority-based issues; he got off the car early.

Looking around, he found himself on a desolate mountain ridge overgrown with thatch.

There was the sea in front of them, and standing on the hilltop, they could feel the sea breeze. After finishing his work, Director Yuan came over and told him that this was Wong Chuk Yeung Hill in Sai Kung, New Territories.

Because of its open view, nestled between mountains and the sea, and the lack of management, many film sets have filmed their outdoor scenes here.

Bruce Lee filmed scenes in this area for "Enter the Dragon" and "Fist of Fury".

"Anzai, your kung fu is so good, you will definitely become a leading figure in the industry in the future."

Who knows, next time we come back here to film, you might be the lead!

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an shook his head and said, "Director Yuan, I'm used to a leisurely life. Teaching boxing behind the scenes suits me better."

"Haha, that's hard to say. People who stay behind the scenes for too long will inevitably develop the desire to step into the spotlight."

"That's why I couldn't stand being alone; that's why I became a director and made this film. I just wanted to know what it felt like to be in the spotlight."

"Director Yuan, do you know how it feels now?"

"I understand. Standing on stage is ten times more tiring than before—but it's a worthwhile kind of tiredness because I know I'm living for myself."

Director Yuan said magnanimously, "A person who can become a leading actor will not be content to be a nobody for the rest of his life."

While Li Chang'an was chatting with Director Yuan, Huang Zhengli, Chen Yuanlong, and Yuan Xiaotian had already changed their clothes in the makeshift dressing room on the other side.

Director Yuan knew he was about to get busy again. He turned around and called all the crew members to get ready. Then he adjusted his baseball cap and shouted, "Scene supervisor, clap your clapperboard!"

The script supervisor holds a clapperboard, striking it crisply, signifying that the first take of the first shot of the first scene is being recorded.

"Photographers, lighting technicians, sound engineers, get to your positions!"

"start!"

Following Director Yuan's commands.

Yuan Xiaotian, who plays Bai Changtian, the senior disciple of the Snake-Shaped Sect, runs frantically and disheveled along the mountain path.

He burst into the frame, looking tense as if he were being chased by something.

The next moment, as Yuan Xiaotian looked up in surprise, the photographer on the other side focused on the figure slowly emerging from the distant mountain peak.

Huang Zhengli, with a slender, eagle-like figure, walked into the camera wearing a wine-red Chinese-style long vest with a stand-up collar.

After makeup, his face appeared even more sinister and cold, his triangular eyes scanning the entire room, exuding a murderous aura.

"Bai Changtian, you don't need to leave anymore. This time, you can't escape."

"Shangguan Yiyun, don't think you can run rampant just because you have Eagle Claw Kung Fu!"

Hwang Jang-lee gave a forced, insincere smile, his eyes cold.

"The century-old feud between the Eagle and Snake factions should be settled. From now on, there will be no more Snake Fist in the world."

"Then I'll fight you to the death today, and I won't let you succeed!"

After the polite dialogue, the two men adopted the starting stances of snake hands and eagle claws, and began to confront each other.

Three breaths later, Huang Zhengli made the first move.

Standing outside the set, Li Chang'an also began to pay close attention.

He also wanted to see what kind of spectacle Huang Zhengli, a modern martial arts expert, could achieve with his Eagle Claw Kung Fu and how much inspiration it could bring him.

In the arena, Huang Zhengli's claw-like movements changed several times in a few seconds. Even Yuan Xiaotian, a veteran martial arts practitioner with decades of experience, had to concentrate to keep up with the movements.

Unfortunately, Li Chang'an did not enjoy watching this first encounter.

Because Director Yuan considered that Master Huang would use a lot of grappling and striking techniques in this scene, including grabbing and striking vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and spleen.

However, his father, Yuan Xiaotian, was too old to withstand any more hardship.

Therefore, Director Yuan dared not let the two fight for too long.

The only option was for the photographer to film the fight between the two from behind.

This way, they don't need to film Yuan Xiaotian's face directly; they can use a stunt double to fill in during fight scenes and when he's being thrown around.

Yuan Xiaotian will only be allowed to appear again when filming his face.

Fortunately, this scene is just a transitional scene that leads to the protagonist's final appearance to save people and kill enemies.

The camera work and action choreography were not complicated, and Director Yuan's direction was superb.

Therefore, the entire scene didn't take too long to finish.

Just as Huang Zhengli approached Yuan Xiaotian menacingly, brandishing his Eagle Claw Skull-Crushing Hand, ready to finish him off...

call-

Suddenly, a hand blocked his way, shoving a fist-sized rock into Huang Zhengli's fierce claws.

The camera zooms in on Chen Yuanlong, who delivers a flying kick that sends the careless Huang Zhengli flying, before assuming the starting stance of a snake-style fist.

"Fortunately, this rock is hard enough."

As Chen Yuanlong read his lines, he wondered why Director Yuan wanted him to give Master Huang a stone.

Then, in the next moment, Hwang Jang-lee adopted an angry expression, like a demon, as if he had been tricked, and then suddenly exerted force with his five fingers like hooks—

Click, click!

The stone cracked and turned into dust under Huang Zhengli's exaggerated force.

I'm awesome!

Chen Yuanlong was startled.

The stone he just handed to Hwang Jung-lee was something he casually picked up from the roadside; it was definitely not a prop prepared by the film crew.

Hwang Jang-lee actually crushed it with his bare hands!

The others in the crew were also shocked by Hwang Jung-ri's power and subconsciously looked at Li Chang'an, who had a calm expression.

As two people in the crew with real kung fu skills, everyone used to think that Li Chang'an and Master Huang's skills were roughly equal.

Although it is said that Hwang Jang-lee served on the Vietnam battlefield and could kill enemies with his bare hands, and has always been very famous, Li Chang'an also demonstrated his ability to fight large, fierce dogs with his bare hands in front of everyone.

Therefore, many people believe that Li Chang'an is actually more capable than Master Huang.

But now Master Huang's ability to crush stones with his bare hands is too powerful; this force could easily tear a human body apart!

"As expected, Master Huang is still the better one."

"Master Huang is still too modest."

"Breaking stones with bare hands—even though Master Li is very strong, he definitely can't do that."

"I heard that Master Huang has arranged a practice match with Master Li before filming wraps up today. Shall we take a gamble and see who wins?"

"At this point, everyone will definitely bet on Master Huang."
