The entire set of "The Lion of Heaven" has become a busy factory.

Jackie Chan is worthy of the title of "big brother". He is always "unable" on the set and he is everywhere. He not only patiently directs the actors' martial arts movements and performance details, but also cares about everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation in person.

Among them, Wang Xu was quite moved when he saw a detail. When Jackie Chan saw that there were melons, tissues and other garbage on the ground, he would pick it up one by one and throw it into the trash can. Therefore, although the set was covered with yellow sand, he could not see the garbage that was discarded at will, and many crews could not do this.

Wang Xu had been staying with his wife and was practicing scripts with her. Seeing Jackie Chan being busy alone, he took the initiative to help him share some work.

The most complicated job is actually to guide extras. Not only are there many people, but they also come from all over the world. When Wang Xu walked over, he heard more than ten languages ​​including Chinese, Cantonese, Turkish, English, French, etc. It was quite difficult for the staff to communicate with them, communicate and manage them, so Wang Xu went to serve as a translator for several martial arts coaches in the family class and translated their words to foreign actors.

Sometimes Wang Xu doesn't forget his funny nature and tells a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Jackie Chan also came over and said, "What are everyone laughing at?"

Wang Xu joked: "These foreign friends want to see Chinese Kung Fu. Brother, you can show off two tricks!"

"Okay!" Jackie Chan was also a humorous person, and he took a wooden stick and played with a set of "drunk guns". He saw the big brother's archer agile, and an ordinary wooden stick danced in his hand to make a fortune.

"Okay, wonderful!" Everyone applauded. But soon the elder brother changed his routine, his movements became like a drunk person, staggering, and his expression became charming. The last finishing move was naughty and sticking out his butt to everyone.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Xu clapped and said, "I'm also itchy when I see my brother's wonderful drunken gun. I will also perform a magical skill that can resist wind and sand. Do you want to see it or learn it?"

Even Jackie Chan was curious about what kind of powerful magic skill that could resist wind and sand was. When everyone saw Wang Xu dancing and doing his best, he covered a turban on his face and couldn't help laughing.

In this kind of set of a scene where there is no shop in front and no village behind, and there is a barren desert around it. I can only relieve myself of my boredom.

As time goes by, the temperature is getting higher and higher. What's even more terrible is that the weather is completely out of control when filming in the desert. Sometimes it is morning, sometimes it is afternoon, when the wind and sand come, I hear the tent waving, and I can't even catch it, and I run away in the blink of an eye. Every day, everyone is tortured to the point of exhaustion.

The entire crew of seven or eight hundred people were fully armed, and when there was no wind, they only showed their eyes outside, because the crew had more than 100 war horses. Once they ran, even if there was no wind, it would be enough for everyone to drink a pot.

On the third day of filming, four or five extras were suffering from heatstroke, which interrupted the filming process. However, no one complained, because Jackie Chan, Wang Xu and other stars were all enduring. They didn't complain.

During the day, the crew is a "incinerator", and the temperature drops sharply at night. They have to cover themselves with quilts when they sleep. After a day of tiredness, the actors stay in their own tents at night, and they don't want to go anywhere, and there is no place to go outside.

Wang Xu made two cups of milk tea, one for his wife, and one for him. These days he really did the job of an assistant, taking care of his wife meticulously, fanned her when she was hot, and had water at any time when she was thirsty, and he could massage her when she was tired. So with his company, although the weather was bad, it did not affect Zhuang Xiaodie's happy mood.

The wind and sand that was raging at night finally stopped, and the tent wail finally stopped. After drinking milk tea, Wang Xu lay in the quilt and called Chen Ruan in the company.

"Ruan Ruan, have you rested?"

"Not yet, is Jackie Chan's crew fun?"

"The set is in the desert, what do you think?"

After a few greetings, Wang Xu talked about the serious matter and said, "Ruan Ruan, tell you something. You will still remember the few novels I mentioned to you last time. One of them is called "Romance of Dragon and Snake", and the author is Meng Rushen Ji. Your task is to buy the film and television copyright of this work."

These days, Wang Xu has been thinking about his new films, listing several novels such as "Fighting Break the Sky", "Devouring the Starry Sky", "Romance of Dragons and Snakes", "Buddha is the Tao", "Panlong", "Douluo Continent", "Crossing the Sky", etc.

After weighing the pros and cons, he preferred "Romance of Dragon and Snake". This novel shows a brilliant world of national martial arts.

National martial arts refers to traditional Chinese martial arts. It is also a respectful title for martial arts, highlighting its importance of strengthening one's own self-defense. There is another saying about national martial arts: martial arts that only kill enemies but do not perform are called national martial arts.

In 1927, National Political and Legal Committee Member Zhang Zhijiang initiated the establishment of Feng Yuxiang, Yu Youren, Cai Yuanpei and others called for the establishment of the National Martial Arts Research Museum with Nanjing, saying that "the National Martial Arts Museum was established, and it was originally dedicated to saving the country, in order to strengthen the country, and follow the people's equalization of national martial arts." In 1928, it was renamed the Nanjing Central Martial Arts Museum, and the word "national martial arts" appeared for the first time, and it was used by the backstage *wan.

"Martial Arts that only kill enemies but not perform" The so-called killing enemies here refers to killing Japanese devils. During the period of national crisis, a large number of heroic martial artists emerged. Among them, the top ten martial arts masters of the Republic of China recorded in history are: Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, Li Shuwen, Shang Yunxiang, Zhang Ce, Du Xinwu, Liu Baichuan, Li Yaochen, Han Muxia, and Wang Ziping.

Most people have never heard of the characters on this list, and Wang Xu didn't know them before. He was interested in checking some information after watching "Romance of Dragon and Snake".

Among the Chinese martial arts masters, many viewers know about Huo Yuanjia, Ip Man, Guangdong Shihu, Huang Feihong and others through film and television works, and there are very few people on this list.

For example, the audience who knows Sun Lutang knows not much. However, among the people in the martial arts circle, almost everyone knows Sun Lutang's name. Compared with the martial arts of Ip Man, Huo Yuanjia and others, they are almost considered to be fancy moves.

It is said that Chinese Kung Fu cannot leave the word "Martial Saint". Guan Yu was later called "Martial Saint" by later generations. Guan Yu was brave and good at killing immediately. The Blue Dragon Sword and Red Rabbit Horse were almost unrivaled at that time! Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's martial arts were not inferior to Guan Yu. Guan Yu's title of "Martial Saint" was not only due to his courage, but also his loyalty and righteousness! Guan Yu's life was a failed life. However, after Guan Yu's death, he was presented to the position of "Martial Saint" by his descendants.

There is another person in modern China who is called the "Martial Saint" by the Japanese. This person is Sun Lutang, a legendary figure in the modern Chinese martial arts world.

Such a martial arts first person is not seen in film and television dramas. It is a pity that Wang Xu has been with Jackie Chan and his family class these days. Seeing them practicing martial arts and scheming, he felt something and wanted to bring this novel "Romance of Dragons and Snakes" that talks about national skills to the screen.

His purpose is not to transform into a kung fu superstar, but to make an excellent movie for the audience to watch, and to let audiences across the country know that in our long history, there are also a group of national martial arts masters who "only kill enemies, not perform" who should not be forgotten by people.
