395. Teahouse Battle(1/2)

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the filming of the movie had just ended. The whole crew suggested that Su Butong treat him to a late-night snack. Su Butong smiled and said that he would owe it now, and he would finish work tomorrow night and invite everyone to eat.

Liu Jialiang also dispersed the crowd who were making noises, explaining that he would be filming the highlight of the film early tomorrow morning.

On the first day of shooting, we moved to four locations and shot forty or fifty shots. This was a relatively easy day. We will probably speed up the process later on.

Liu Jialiang briefly told Su Budong what he was going to shoot tomorrow. The highlight of the morning was actually the group scene with the Ax Gang in a teahouse. The camera scheduling of this kind of scene, the extras and the martial arts masters all need to work together. So,

Work starts at 7 o'clock in the morning, and the lighting engineer may start work at 6 o'clock.

After returning to the apartment to rest, Lin Muyu got off work early today and found Su Butong applying safflower oil on his own. He said heartbrokenly: "Why do we make a kung fu movie when we have nothing to do? Isn't it good to be your big boss?"

Su Butong explained: "Every man has a knight's dream since childhood. This dream is about the world, about pleasure and grudges, and about the feelings of family and country."

Lin Muyu grabbed the safflower oil and gently rubbed away the bruises on Su Butong's body.

"I don't care whether you have a knight-errant dream or not. How long will it take for your movie to be finished? Our finance company will start preparing for that big event soon. What's wrong with you not showing up all the time?"

"Finance doesn't involve you?"

Lin Muyu laughed angrily and said, "You're used to being a shopkeeper, aren't you? You don't care about the mainland, but you're still hiding in Xiangjiang for a while?"

"Am I at ease? Are all my injuries okay?" Su Butong couldn't use his inner strength when he passed the fight today, and he suffered a lot for no reason.

"You deserve it." A slender jade finger poked Su Butong's forehead. "Seven days, I only give you seven days. This is your last rest time. I must see you get on the right track later. This is mine.

What a man should look like."

Su Butong held her hand and put his other hand around her waist, pressing her under him. He smiled and said, "Your man has many different looks. Shouldn't you be the one who knows best in this world?"

?”

Lin Muyu spat and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who has a smooth tongue."

After saying that, the two of them chatted for a while. Lin Muyu went to the kitchen to prepare a bowl of fish ball rice noodles for Su Butong. Su Butong ate it in a hurry and told Lin Muyu to help him book a place tomorrow and that he would invite the crew.

People eat.

Lin Muyu agreed. This seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them for many years. He had become accustomed to her presence around him.

Lin Muyu had some insomnia that night. She lay on her side and looked quietly at Su Butong, who was sleeping next to him like a child.

What kind of man is he? Arbitrary? Absolutely consistent? Amazingly talented? Visionary?

None of that seems to be enough to describe him.

This time his plan was too bold, but he spoke with certainty, as if he had already seen the era and future that belonged to him.

During the days when she came to Xiangjiang, she was not afraid. She always felt that the price of completing one battle was too high, and Zhan Long could actually develop less urgently. Of course, if she won this kind of gamble, Zhan Long would become the top one, but if she lost,

The end will definitely be extremely tragic.

But with him around, she would feel safe.

What's the harm in accompanying him in this bet?

If you lose, you have to start over again.

They are still young, what are they afraid of?

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Lin Muyu woke up Su Butong, who took a taxi to Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio.

This is the base camp of Shaw Brothers. The studio of Shaw Brothers occupies the entire hilltop and has built countless streets and cities. Like many film and television cities in mainland China later, many big-name stars live here all year round.

However, as Shaw Brothers has entered the television industry, it has gradually become less prosperous than in the past. Many old Shaw Brothers employees have also looked for other jobs, making the place look particularly bleak.

Yesterday, because it was Su Butong's first day in the group, he was not assigned a dormitory, so Su Butong went back to Lin Muyu's place to sleep.

At six o'clock, the makeup artist began to put makeup on Su Butong. Su Butong leaned on the chair and squinted for a while, and then chatted with the makeup artist.

The makeup artist was also a talkative, saying that he had worked with this star, done business with that star, that such and such a big star had a bad temper, and that such and such star had some quirks... Then Su Butong asked some questions about the inside of Shaw Brothers Studios

The makeup artist also answered the question in detail, even more than Su Butong wanted to know. For example, the movie theater in Clear Water Bay is the blessed place for the Shaw Brothers, where they started their movie dream.

For example, there are often rumors of hauntings in employee dormitories, and some timid people no longer live here because an actress and a director committed suicide in the dormitory.

After chatting for a while, the martial arts masters from the Liu family class came to Su Butong. They designed a teahouse fight scene overnight, and specially had martial artists to explain the scheduling and movements to Su Butong.

After the martial artist left, Su Butong, who had finished putting on makeup, found Wang Yue smoking.

Wang Yue had been following the group, and Su Butong told Wang Yue his findings.

"Now that Shaw Brothers is undergoing a transformation, people are panicking. Why don't we recruit some people and go to the mainland?"

Poaching some people from here to the mainland to expand the personnel strength of their own film and television bases will actually better promote the development of the mainland's own film and television industry.

Wang Yue was a little stupid. He didn't expect Su Butong to be poaching Shaw Brothers just one day after arriving. He couldn't help but worry: "Isn't it a little unkind?"

"A stone from a mountain can be used to attack jade. Now there are so many film and television companies in Hong Kong who are robbing their employees. We are not called unkind, but we are harvesting the wool of capitalism. We can't let people starve to death because they don't have enough to eat, right?"

What the hell are you picking up on the wool of capitalism?

"How much is appropriate?"

"I'll pay three times the salary, and the company will reimburse the round trip expenses, and I'll have 10 days off a year," Su Butong said.

"Don't you call for equal pay for equal work?" Wang Yue was dumbfounded. This was different from what Su Butong said before.

"Why are you so stupid all day long?" Su Butong laughed and scolded: "Equal pay for equal work is for actors. If you don't give more money to these technicians, who will be willing to leave their hometown and go to the capital to work for you?

Shooting officially started.

On the teahouse.

"Old senior, you chased me from the capital to Guangzhou and finally found this jade seal. Isn't it a worthwhile trip?"

"Not bad." Liu Jialiang played the role of a martial arts veteran who did not hesitate to risk his own life and fight with foreigners in order to recover the national treasure jade seal.

The scene in the teahouse is when Huang Feihong found the jade seal he had taken by mistake in Baozhilin and returned it to him.

"Senior, I have something unclear. China has had dozens of emperors throughout the ages. What's the big deal if the jade seal is taken away by foreigners?" Su looked at Huang Feihong played by Budong, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand.

Why would such a veteran with outstanding martial arts risk his life for a dead thing?

"Today he snatched your jade seal. If you don't stop him, he will demolish your Great Wall tomorrow. From now on, if our descendants want to see national treasures, they will have to go to foreign museums. Do you know about the Eight-Nation Allied Forces?

Why attack the capital? The weak are the strong, and if you don't cheer yourself up, why will others be polite to you? It is natural to have power but no justice. People will insult themselves and others will insult them. Do you understand? "

"I understand, thank you for your guidance, senior."

"Okay, let's drink." The two drank from the glasses together.

But halfway through drinking, Liu Jialiang put down the glass in his hand: "What's going on? Why is the restaurant so quiet?"

"Did the guests disappear quietly?"

Su Butong lay down at the window to take a look, but found that the people on the street were gone.

The murderous intention suddenly appeared.

The members of the Ax Gang who were ambushing outside the window suddenly slashed vertically with an axe, and Su Butong narrowly avoided it.

Pushing the window open, he pushed the ax downstairs.

Downstairs, dozens of Ax Gang members have already been ambushed. These people are all accomplices in selling national treasures.

"There are many people, Feihong, you go first." Liu Jialiang decided to stay behind.

Pushing the table, he blocked Huang Feihong behind him.

Hong Fist rushed out and knocked down the Ax Gang members who came upstairs one by one.

As a young man, seeing that the elders are like this, Huang Feihong, as a passionate young man, has no reason to stand by and watch.

"I'll open the way." He jumped down from the second floor.

"Bang!" Unexpectedly, he fell in the middle of the table and looked at each other in confusion with the Ax Gang members who surrounded them.

The members of the Ax Gang reacted and struck him with their axes.

Huang Feihong broke up the table with all his strength, picked up a stool and held the axes one by one, so that the ax gang could not get close to them for a while.

Upstairs, Liu Jialiang opened the way with his fists and came downstairs.

Downstairs, Huang Feihong danced like a tiger on two stools.

"How is it?" A foreigner who planned to sell jade seals came to the teahouse to watch.

The boss of the Ax Gang was looking at the scenery outside the teahouse, "My brothers from the Ax Gang have never missed a beat."

"That's good." He took out a wad of bills from his arms and handed it to the boss of the Ax Gang.

As the camera turned, more members of the Ax Gang came up to support them. The two of them gradually lost strength and were forced back to the second floor.

Liu Jialiang was accidentally hit in the back by a minion and lost most of his combat power.

Su Butong stepped forward to rescue him, but found that his hands were full of blood.

Liu Jialiang got wise in his desperation and tied a piece of bamboo with his clothes to turn it into a multi-pronged halberd, which became a sharp weapon in their hands.

"Follow me!" Huang Feihong pushed the window, and the two of them jumped from the window and were trapped.

The boss of the Ax Gang raised his ax and struck at the two of them. Huang Feihong held it, and he blocked thousands of troops by himself. "Senior, you go first."

Regardless of Huang Feihong, who was carrying a national treasure that was important, Liu Jialiang gritted his teeth and ran away.
