This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

"We've basically finalized the action sequences," Li Qing said, as they were discussing it with the wire work team.

"Maybe I shouldn't use wires."

Action team: "??????"

"No wire work...are you serious?"

"I never use wires when performing light-body kung fu," Li Qing said with a strange expression. "Using wires would actually cause me to fall."

The stunt team was a bit confused.

Some people are naturally poor at balance and are not suited to wire work, so they need targeted training.

They heard that people who weren't used to being suspended by wires didn't use them in places where wires were required.

I've really never seen it with my own eyes!

I have heard of it.

But it's someone else's name.

It is called Chengshilong.

"are you sure?"

"Okay, just give me a safety rope, I'll do the light-footed movements myself."

"But the action you set up doesn't involve coming down from the roof like before; it's five meters high here." The action team was now using the formal "you" from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Qing waved his hand and said.

"Just step on the wall and you'll be down, don't worry. I do this all the time at the Taoist temple; the method is very scientific..."

So Li Qing began to explain the scientific aspects of this movement to the action team.

That's just what I said.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word "science" at all.

"Since Little Li doesn't need wires, then so be it. What's the big deal? Even Cheng Shilong doesn't need wires."

Deng Cheng waved his hand.

He had heard Zhang Dahuzi say that when filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, he didn't use wires to perform his light-body skills.

Deng Cheng is here too.

If we're going to pursue better moves, then let's see it through to the end.

"As for the movements, just do it your way."

"Thank you for your understanding, Director Deng."

"I believe you." Deng Cheng patted Li Qing on the shoulder.

Then he turned to the production assistant next to him and said.

Buy this old man some more insurance.

Trust is one thing, but you still need to do everything you're supposed to do regarding insurance.

I'm not going to talk about the Asia Pacific people anymore.

At least use a safety rope...

On the other side, Zhang Lin spoke directly.

"I need to keep a close eye on this scene."

Zhang Lin also wanted to see how this light-weight segment would look without wires.

.......

"Unit 1 is in position."

"Unit 2 is in position."

"Unit 3 is in position."

"start."

The next day, Ximen Chuixue's first action scene officially began filming.

This wasn't originally supposed to be a fight scene; we planned to just tweak it a bit with special effects and move on, but Li Qing, this "action star," managed to edit it all out.

The original special effects-driven battles have evolved into the action-packed confrontations we see today.

It seems... it seems the production team also got a top-notch martial arts choreographer for free.

Surprisingly, there are even some serious action elements in it.

Li Qing is also willing to act as a stunt double for some of Lu Xiaofeng's action scenes.

The requirements are not many.

Li Qing, a pragmatic young man, is willing to do anything as long as there's extra money involved.

We can talk about it.

Thus, this low-budget suspense stage play gained action scenes, adding even more highlights.

Li Qing, who was on the roof, stepped down the wall.

He jumped down from the roof, which was more than five meters high, using the air to his advantage.

One bump, one jump, one leap.

He landed lightly, brandished his sword, and rode the waves into the lake.

This scene was completed in one seamless motion...

The stunt team was convinced, and Zhang Lin and Zhang Yao... were totally convinced too.

No mistakes!

In fact, the action team members and Deng Cheng were all vaguely worried.

His performance without wires is indeed strong and natural.

But it's dangerous enough.

A failed take means a second or third take, which greatly increases the danger to the actors.

Fortunately, it was all over, and Li Qing was very satisfied with his performance.

On the other hand, Li Qingzhen really didn't care about this matter.

After all, we could play this every day when we were in the Taoist temple.

They would leap and bound among the mountains and forests. When they were tired, they would drink spring water, and when they were hungry, the old Taoist priest would prepare a bucket of rice.

Thinking about this suddenly made me miss the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest who raised him with great care and hardship had almost burned off his beard when he was a mischievous child...

Ok.

While wandering far from home, I was suddenly overcome with homesickness.

Since I'll be going back home for the Lunar New Year anyway, I'll bring him some local specialties.

"I've sent so much money back home these days, the Taoist temple must be beautifully renovated by now..."

Li Qing thought to himself.

...

The subsequent filming went smoothly.

Indeed, the footage shot more naturally and with more character than footage shot with wires.

Then, Yan Tieshan instructed one of his disciples to go up and try out Ximen Chuixue.

The disciple accepted the order, took his longsword, and leaped forward.

Meanwhile, Ximen Chuixue, who had just come down from the roof, was standing on the lake.

He had one hand behind his back and the other holding the sword hilt.

That look in his eyes was telling a story.

This time, you go first; I won't draw my sword.

"Come on!" Yan Tieshan's disciple drew his sword and made his move. The stunt double he had found was also very professional, wielding the sword like the wind.

After calmly deflecting his senior brother's attacks, Ximen Chuixue said indifferently.

"You've used up all your tricks, haven't you?"

How do you know?

"You've repeated your move."

"So what if you've used it all up? I can still make you pay."

Yan Tieshan's disciple felt insulted and said angrily, "Today I will test whether you, Ximen Chuixue, are as powerful as the rumors say."

This time, Ximen Chuixue didn't indulge Yan Tieshan's disciple.

Having tested the moves, he drew his sword forward.

He drew his sword and sheathed it.

Yan Tieshan couldn't even see how he made his move...

The disciple then died.

This is Ximen Chuixue.

Ximen Chuixue.

...

"Click."

This scene ends.

Both Deng Cheng and the action team were very satisfied.

I never knew drawing a sword could be so smooth.

It turns out that even an ordinary move can be incredibly cool.

That makes perfect sense; let professionals do what they're good at.

There were basically only a few scenes left, and the time passed very quickly.

To Deng Cheng's surprise, the previous scenes went smoothly, but the romantic scenes with Sun Xiuqing got stuck.

"Every fine sword has a suitable scabbard..."

Absolutely devoid of emotion!

He just stood there reciting his lines.

Even Liu Shishi couldn't get into character while listening to these lines.

"No, no, this scene just won't do." Even Deng Cheng, who liked Li Qing so much, couldn't help but criticize: "Put some emotion into it! Feel it! Didn't you act so well with Ye Xuan'er in 'The First Under Heaven'? Just bring out the same feeling you had for Shangguan Haitang. You don't need to play Ximen Chuixue anymore, just act like Guihai Yidao."

"Hey, but Guihai Yidao is no longer here..." Li Qing scratched his head and said innocently, "He wasn't here when filming wrapped up."

Zhang Lin, standing beside Li Qing, looked at him with deep agreement.

See, the way this is said already has a hint of the experiential learning approach!

This left Deng Cheng speechless.

At that moment, Li Qing suddenly thought of something.

"Let's do it one more time. I think I know how to act now."

"Every sword has a scabbard that suits it."

These words were spoken with the utmost gentleness.

Hearing these emotionally charged words, Liu Shishi became immersed in the role...

But looking at the 'Ximen Chuixue' in front of him, his eyes seemed to be looking elsewhere?
