Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

Chapter 8: A Stunning Performance, Returning to the Film Crew

"You want to be a stuntman?"

Zhang Qiming stared wide-eyed, looking Wu Wei up and down with a look of astonishment.

"We are indeed short of people for martial arts right now, but do you know martial arts? Not just anyone can do martial arts. Although you are physically strong and have some strength, that alone is not enough."

Zhang Qiming said to him earnestly, "I know you like that girl Liu Yifei, but I advise you to give up on that idea. A beauty like her isn't for ordinary people like us, and besides, her mother is always on guard against you..."

Wu Wei found it both funny and exasperating.

The key issue now isn't whether he likes Liu Yifei or not, but whether he can get the system's reward!

"Brother Zhang, I do know martial arts."

As Wu Wei spoke, he did a backflip on the spot, landed steadily, and struck a pose: "I've been training since I was a kid, otherwise how could I be in such good physical condition?"

Wu Wei made it up on the spot, but Zhang Qiming believed it without a doubt.

"You're really something, kid! I knew it, how do you have such strength!"

He looked at him excitedly: "Okay, I'll help you with this!"

……

A moment later, Wu Wei followed Zhang Qiming to the martial arts troupe's rest area.

The martial arts performers sat or squatted casually, chatting and laughing heartily.

Upon seeing Zhang Qiming approach, Shu Jian, a core member of the Yuan Family Martial Arts Team and head of the martial arts group, said, "Old Zhang, why isn't dinner served yet? The brothers are all starving!"

"What's the rush? The food's already been delivered!"

Zhang Qiming laughed and said, "Isn't your martial arts industry short-handed these days? I've brought some people for you!"

Who is it?

As Shu Jian spoke, he glanced at Wu Wei beside him and asked, "Him?"

"Yes! This kid has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he's incredibly skilled! Before, in our production crew, things that were difficult for both of us to move, he did all by himself with ease! I just checked his skills, and they're excellent. He'd definitely be a stuntman; you can try him if you don't believe me!"

Listening to Zhang Qiming's words, Shu Jian carefully looked Wu Wei up and down.

Although dressed as a food deliveryman, he had an upright posture, was full of energy, and had sharp eyes, exuding the aura of someone who had trained in martial arts.

He immediately became interested.

He said to Wu Wei, "Then why don't you show us a little something?"

"Okay, Team Leader Shu."

As Wu Wei spoke, he walked to an open space in front of him and gave him a fist and palm salute.

The stuntmen around them all looked over curiously.

With a low shout, Wu Wei began.

His movements weren't particularly flashy; they were all basic lunge punches, spring kicks, and side kicks, but they were all incredibly powerful.

His strength was immense; every punch he threw seemed to pierce through the air!

What's most surprising is his jumping ability.

With a simple flying kick, he jumped much higher than others.

It felt like I was flying!

……

Shu Jian's eyes lit up.

The young man's movements were all quite basic; any martial arts practitioner who had trained for a few years could have done them.

But his strength was astonishing.

So much so that he made these ordinary, basic movements sound like an overwhelming force.

The viewing experience has been elevated to several levels!

He turned to a stuntman next to him and said, "Haifeng, go teach him a set of moves, then you two try it out and see how he performs."

To become a stuntman, it's not enough to just be good at kung fu; you also need to be able to perform.

This is how you can achieve the effect the director wants on camera.

"OK."

Ni Haifeng walked over to Wu Wei and whispered a set of fighting moves to him, demonstrating them a few times.

As Wu Wei listened, he nodded, his eyes following Ni Haifeng's movements, and he quickly figured out the routine.

"Got it?" Ni Haifeng asked.

"I've got it."

"Here you go."

The two distanced themselves and began to fight.

Ni Haifeng struck first, throwing a punch straight at Wu Wei's face.

Wu Wei turned his head to dodge, simultaneously raising his hand to block and counterattack.

The two fought back and forth, their battle raging fiercely.

Wu Wei made no mistakes; every block, every dodge, and every counterattack was perfectly timed.

Especially the final finishing move.

Ni Haifeng kicked him in the chest, his toes barely touching his clothes.

He felt as if he had been struck by a tremendous force, his body flying backward for two or three meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

"pretty!"

One of the stuntmen next to him couldn't help but shout it out.

Ni Haifeng smiled and stepped forward, helping Wu Wei up from the ground, and then was the first to applaud.

Immediately afterwards, Shu Jian and the other stuntmen also applauded.

"good!"

Shu Jian walked up to Wu Wei, patted him on the shoulder, and said with admiration in his eyes, "From today onwards, you are a member of our martial arts team. After dinner, you can go and sign the contract."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Shu!"

Wu Wei's anxiety finally subsided.

"You have a very solid foundation, especially your excellent physical condition. As long as you're willing to work hard in this field, you'll definitely make a name for yourself!"

Shu Jian said to Wu Wei, "However, you don't have much experience performing in front of the camera, so it's not suitable for you to go to Group A. I'm currently in charge of the martial arts instruction for Group B, so you'll be working with me in Group B for the time being."

"Okay! I'll listen to Brother Shu!"

Wu Wei, of course, had no objections.

Moreover, he is indeed more suited to stay in Group B now.

The martial arts instructor for Group A is Yuan Heping, also known as "Eighth Master." They'll be fighting against Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Li Bingbing, and Liu Yifei.

He has no experience, and going there would be a complete embarrassment.

Group B mainly filmed minor fight scenes, transitional battles, and group battles, making it the perfect place to practice and level up.

It's not too late to go see Liu Yifei in Group A after you've leveled up and gained more experience.

……

The next day, Wu Wei officially began his martial arts career in Group B.

He has a strong learning ability, high comprehension, and likes to ask others for advice.

Everyone saw him as a promising talent and was willing to teach him some experience and skills.

Wu Wei absorbed knowledge like crazy, and in just a few days, he transformed from a complete novice into a true martial arts expert.

The assistant director in charge of filming for Group B was Sun Lin, who came from Jackie Chan's stunt team. She was initially very pessimistic about Wu Wei.

But after a few days, she successfully changed her mind and began to praise him highly.

In this way, Wu Wei firmly established himself in the martial arts group.

The system had been silent for many days, which made his desire to go to Group A to see Liu Yifei reach its peak.

Just then, he received some good news: Liu Yifei's filming in Group A had temporarily come to an end, and her scenes for the next few days would be filmed in Group B.

Wu Wei's eyes instantly lit up with a fiery light.

Finally, I can take advantage of the goddess's generosity again!
