Thus, the two stood in the middle of the field, surrounded by a large group of people wanting to see what the legendary proper fighting scene was like.

Soon, the two started to fight.

Once they started, the people around immediately understood what was called an expert. This time, the two were purely performing. Don’t look at how Geezer Wang wasn’t huge in size and was as thin as a monkey. He was very flexible, his whole body fluttering around the Mu Zixiao. As for Mu Zixiao, his style was straightforward and more manly. He also knew that Geezer Wang, his new master, was very nimble, so he was not afraid of hurting him. His fists were ferocious like a tiger. If one didn’t know that they were performing, they would really think that he was practicing the real “Nine Suns Divine Fist”!

After several more exchanges, finally, Mu Zixiao smashed his fist against the old man’s palm, and it was if a wave of energy erupted from the collision. A few sharp-eyed ones could even see the leaves being blown away.

After they were done, the two men returned to Hong Dali’s side, and Mu Zixiao took over the sunshade and held it. Geezer Wang picked up a drink and drank it, his face wrinkled but not red, and not panting at all.

The crew was stunned. Even when the two finished, the crew still had not recovered from their amazement.

“Tip the two of them!” Hong Dali felt great. “Fifty thousand per person!” The lackey— PAPAPA —counted five stacks of money for each of them and then retreated.

Hong Dali pointed at everyone present and said, “Do you see that? That is called kungfu. This is our country’s kungfu!” As he said that, he was secretly feeling excited inside his heart. This old man was really powerful! It was worth it for the rearview mirror to be hit!

Hong Dali: “Look at yourselves now, what was it that you guys just showed me? Is it enough just for the special effects to be good? What meaning is there in that? If you want to make a movie, you have to film real kungfu! The real one!”

“Yes, yes, Young Master is right.” Director Lin Hao was completely convinced this time. “Then, according to Young Master…”

“Retake, retake!” Hong Dali directed. “Let Old Xiao replace the villain.” He explained his own theory as beautiful sounded as he could. Anyway, he had the money, they had to follow his orders on how to shoot the film. “The villain is the popular role, you see? In a film, the good guys generally do not clearly display their character, it’s the villains who give a memorable impression!” As he said so, he didn’t forget to secretly say to Mu Zixiao, “Old Xiao, I’m giving you this opportunity to showcase your abilities. I will ask Geezer Wang to act with you. How much you can learn through this opportunity is up to you!”

Mu Zixiao immediately rejoiced. “Thank you, brother. I will definitely return this favor in the future!”

Hong Dali instructed Old Wang, “Geezer Wang, you shall stay with them here these next two days. You have a wide range of kungfu at your disposal. You need to teach them how to perform the fighting scenes. Don’t let them make this film into something like a country bumpkin, their fighting scenes almost made me fall asleep.”

Geezer Wang: “OK, I shall do as what Young Master says!”

Then, Hong Dali began to arrange the plot. “When you’re making a movie, the plot can’t be so straightforward—it has to be tortuous, do you understand? Twists and turns!” He took a sip of the drink and then arranged the plot as if he were just messing around. “Wasn’t the man practicing his kungfu in this forest? At this time, ask the female lead… oh, who is that? The woman, what was her name?”

The girl who previously rescued the protagonist walked up. Looking at Hong Dali, she still felt a bit shy. “I’m here. My name is Bao Feng.”

Hong Dali arranged. “Well, you, first fight with that guy—the sparring kind, not the kind where you kill each other. After all, according to the story I laid out, you took a shower and was seen by him. Plus, the male lead looks not bad, and his character is also quite good. You then seemed to like him a little. You understand what I mean?”

“Ah?” It was just for the film, not the real thing. Bao Feng was a little embarrassed at first, but it quickly turned to relief. “Well, ok, I got it. You mean to pretend to fight with him in order to help him practice his kungfu, right?”

“Correct.” Hong Dali nodded and said, “Then, after you have finished practicing, you have to eat, right? You’re not only good at martial arts but also good at cooking. Have you heard of the beggar’s chicken before?”

“I have.” Bao Feng nodded.

Hong Dali continued, “This time, you cook the beggar’s chicken for the male lead to eat, and then, a martial arts master who was wandering around the world—ah, Geezer Wang—smelled the scent of the beggar’s chicken. Geezer Wang?”

Geezer Wang: “Young Master, I’m here.”

Hong Dali pointed to a big tree not far away, saying, “Are you able to climb up that tree?”

“That one?” Old Wang looked at it. “Should be no problem.”

“Up!” Hong Dali loudly ordered, and instantly, he saw the old man climb the tree like a monkey. Hong Dali’s eyebrows went up as he smiled and said, “Geezer Wang, you are really something. I shall reward you later!”

Geezer Wang, who was squatting on the tree like a monkey, smiled as well. “Thank you, Young Master!”

Hong Dali continued, “At this time, Geezer Wang, who was on the tree, smelled the scent. His opening words are ‘Little lass, divide the pheasant is into three and leave me the chicken butt!’”

Everyone “wow”-ed.

Lin Hao violently nodded. “Great! Great! This will really change their characteristics and entrance to the scene!”

Tang Muxin tightly pulled Hong Dali’s sleeves. “Dali, what’s after that? What’s next?”

Hong Dali continued, “At this time, someone was going to snatch their food. They would not agree, of course! Hey, that male lead actor, come over!”

Shen Guanghe hurried forward. “Young Master, I’m here.”

Hong Dali said, “At this time, you have to stand up to him. You can’t ask a woman to do that, right? You will say…” As he said up to this point, he suddenly paused and turned to ask Bao Feng, “What is your name in the film?”

Bao Feng: “Xiao Xian’er.”

“Well, this name is still normal.” Hong Dali sniffled and looked at Shen Guanghe. “You say, ‘Xianer took a hard time making this, why should we give it to you?’”

Shen Guanghe replied, “Well, OK!”

Hong Dali also arranged for Geezer Wang. “Geezer Wang, at this time, you say, ‘Why should you? I’m just about to snatch your food, and you’re still asking me why you should let me!?’. Then you jump from the tree, and you both start fighting, get it?”

Geezer Wang: “Understood!”

The surrounding people were all stunned as they listened.

Lin Hao was full of admiration. “Then, is it time for this Old Xiao to appear?”

“Why are you so anxious?” Hong Dali started blabbering again. “Geezer Wang went down and fought with the male lead, realized that his character was quite good, and hence, stopped fighting. At this point, he thinks that the male lead is a talent and wants to groom him. Then, he can’t eat people’s things in vain too. Besides, the beggar’s chicken was delicious, the old guy’s greed for food caused him to be reluctant to leave. What should he do then? Director Lin, you tell me!”

“Teach him martial arts!” Lin Hao slapped his thigh. “This old man passed a set of martial arts techniques to the male lead!”

“Do you think that martial arts are like some Chinese cabbage, easily found?” Hong Dali rolled his eyes. “Just one move, one move!” Saying so, he shouted towards Geezer Wang, “Geezer Wang, you then teach the actor one move of the ‘Dragon Taming Palm’!”

“Okay!” answered Geezer Wang.

At this time, Tang Muxin whispered, “Dali, didn’t the actor already learned the ‘Nine Suns Divine Art’?”

“It’s simple.” Hong Dali directly said, “The male lead is especially talented, he was able to cultivate and create the ‘Nine Suns Dragon Taming Palm!”
