Chapter 79: Punching Xie Thunderpeak

  "Hey, don't touch!" Shi Shi stopped He Mu's mischievous hand.

  "Heh, I'll try it out." He Mu let out a sly laugh and then released Shi Shi's "tail".

  Shi Shi's portrayal of Xin Shisiang is a simple and kind white fox, Tang Ren's styling team specially made a white fox tail for her, He Mu, who had tried on several sets of clothes, thought it was fun to grab her tail, making Shi Shi both angry and amused.

  On the same day, He Muxi completed the first stage of filming for "Air Stewardess", Ruan Jing left a letter and bid farewell to Lu Fei, going to Canada to study. They would meet again three years later. He Muxi would also set off to Canada soon to film on location.

  ——————

  The next day, He Mu and Da Tang Fei went to Hong Kong. The frequent sideways glances from the flight attendants on the plane once again confirmed He Mu's surging popularity. With the hot broadcast of "The Young Yang Family Generals", the lively, lovely and handsome image of Yang Qilang left a deep impression on people. At least in the Shanghai area, He Mu had already gained some fame.

  He Mu is visiting Hong Kong for the first time, but Da Tang is a regular here and speaks Cantonese more fluently than him.

  "I used to interact with Hong Kong stars a lot, and I was even the agent for many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. Speaking Cantonese is not difficult for me at all, but it's surprising that you can speak Cantonese too, which makes me look at you in a new light." Da Tang said calmly, without showing any sign of surprise.

  "If I didn't know Cantonese, I probably wouldn't have come to Hong Kong to film. When I was filming in Hengdian, the kid next door was from Guangzhou, and after listening for a while, I picked it up." He Mu explained that he has a high language talent and can basically speak several common dialects in China.

  He Mu came to the Hong Kong office of Silver River Institution, explained his intention, which had been entrusted to Dong beforehand. He recommended a mainland male actor to Director Chen Mousheng to play the role of Tian Yangyi, the second villain in the film. Since he had agreed, he didn't want to be ambiguous, and clearly stated He Mu's potential in the mainland. If using his words, it was possible that by the time the movie was released in the mainland, he would already have some fame, which would be beneficial for the promotion of the movie. If his physical condition allowed, they could make some adjustments accordingly.

  The person in charge of Yindu Institution took them to the Wan Yu Entertainment Company, where Director Chen Muxin was. Whether or not they would be hired now depended on him.

  Chen Mou is a renowned Hong Kong action film director, with many outstanding works. His earlier films include "A Better Tomorrow" and "Rumble in the Bronx", while his more recent films include "Infernal Affairs" and "New Police Story". The latter, which starred Jackie Chan, broke multiple box office records and also helped to revive Jackie Chan's popularity in Asia after his Hollywood ventures.

  This time, he carefully prepared "A Better Tomorrow" is also an action movie full of ambition. The three male protagonists of the play were found by him, Tse Ting-fung, Yu Wenle and Long Taizi Fang Zuming, can be said to be the strongest lineup among Hong Kong young people. The big villain Tian Yangsheng was played by Wu Jing, a mainland kung fu idol.

  In his mind, this is a super action movie that looks exciting and shoots just as excitingly. The fight scenes and explosions are indispensable. To ensure safety and effectiveness during filming, the three male leads who have been confirmed early on have already started training in martial arts and physical fitness. With Ng Siu-hong, who has been struggling in the Hong Kong film circle for many years, his strength is well-known to all, and with him, it's like setting up a benchmark. Chen Mu-sheng believes that the three leads will not slack off either.

  Chen Mu Sheng has already received Yu Dong's recommendation, he originally planned to have newcomer action star An Zhi Jie play the role of Tian Yang Yi, An Zhi Jie had played a small role in his directorial work "New Police Story", he still has a good impression of this young man.

  However, he couldn't ignore He Mu's face either, so he met with him and Da Tang. He didn't care about He Mu's appearance or his acting skills, but instead asked directly: "Can you do martial arts?" This play can compromise on everything except for the fight scenes, even the pampered Long Taizi was forced to build muscle by him, let alone others who thought they could easily get away with just posing.

  "I've learned Bajiquan." He Mu replied in Cantonese.

  "Have you studied for too long?" Chen Mushi asked again.

  "Learn from an early age."

  Chen Muxing put away his disdainful heart. An Zhijie, although known as the action little fresh meat, has a good physical quality, but those two moves of his were actually created by Xu Ke when he sent him to Shaolin Temple's crash course for filming "Black Knight 2". In fact, he didn't learn martial arts for long, and compared to Wu Jing who had been practicing since childhood, he was far behind. When He Mu said that he started learning martial arts from elementary school, Chen Muxing became interested.

  "I'll find you an opponent, how about that? I need to test your kung fu skills." Chen Mùshèng said after making a phone call.

  "Two of you wait a moment, he is in the nearby gym, will arrive immediately."

  "Is it just this fight?" He Mu asked.

  "This is still quite spacious for me, just a little bit will do."

  Before long, Chen Mushi's appointed person arrived, "Feng, in the script, did you have a fight with Tian Lao Er?"

  Xie Tongfeng smiled and said: "I don't have it, but Xiaofang's house does."

  "This is a rare opportunity for you, aren't you always wanting to test your progress? There's a master here, let's compare."

  Although the person in front of him is dark and has a messy beard, but looking closely can also see that he is Xie Tingfeng, the Asian idol who was once known for his rebelliousness. He Mu was slightly surprised, and all he knew about this play was that the number one villain was Wu Jing, and nothing else.

  He Mu had not experienced actual combat for a long time. Although he felt that his state over the past half year had recovered quite well, before this, he hadn't exchanged blows with anyone, and in his heart, he wasn't sure what degree of recovery he had achieved. Looking at Xie Tingfeng's fierce and powerful appearance, it was clear that recently he had been practicing bitterly, possessing a certain amount of lethality.

  Two men shook hands and then quickly separated to a certain distance. Chen Mu Sheng made a guest appearance as the referee, "No hitting on the head or lower body, everything else is fine! One, two, three, start!"

  Xie Tingfeng took the road of free punching, that is, there was no way to punch, his right fist hit He Mu's chest, and the attack was fierce. He Mu used his arm to protect his vital parts and borrowed force to push him away. Xie Tingfeng seemed to have been bounced back like he was hitting an iron plate. Then Xie Tingfeng increased his strength again, using a side kick to try and break through He Mu's defense. He Mu saw that Xie Tingfeng's foundation was unstable at this time, so he wrapped his arms around Xie Tingfeng's leg in mid-air, used force with his waist and hips, and threw him backwards. All that could be heard was a "thud" as Xie Tingfeng flew out in a beautiful arc, followed by another "thud" as he landed safely.

  "My leg... it's broken!" Xie Tongfeng said in agony.

  Chen Mùshèng was anxious, if Xiē Tīnfēng had an accident, the filming would definitely be postponed and it would be very troublesome. Dà Táng was also anxious, in his heart he blamed Hé Mù for not being gentle enough, but there was one thing that Chen Mùshèng and Dà Táng agreed on, which was that they now had an accurate understanding of Hé Mù's fighting strength. This little guy was far from harmless as his appearance suggested.

  He Mu was closest to Xie Tingfeng, and when he realized his hand had gone too far, he immediately bent down to check on Xie Tingfeng's injuries. Unexpectedly, Xie Tingfeng, who had just been crying out in pain, suddenly wrapped his arms around He Mu's neck and locked his legs around He Mu's waist.

  "Cheater! I knew you were cheating!"

  "Hasn't the soldier ever heard of deception?"

  "Have you ever heard a saying: In the face of absolute strength, all plots and schemes are just paper tigers!" He Mu suddenly exerted his strength, forcibly pried open Xie Cengfeng's chokehold, then flipped over and threw Xie Cengfeng out.

  He Mu was about to take advantage of his victory and counterattack, but Chen Mushi hurriedly called a halt. "He Mu has won," he said. "You can't beat him, Lei Feng."

  Xie Tingfeng was also tired, lying on the ground panting heavily, and gave He Mu a thumbs up, which was a recognition of his strength.

  "Welcome to join the crew of 'The Man's True Colors'." Chen Mùshèng solemnly shook hands with He Mù.

  Xie Tongfeng also stood up and shook hands with He Mu: "I am Xie Tongfeng, nice to meet you."

  "Haomiao, Shuimu's miao."

  "You're really amazing." Xie Tongfeng praised.

  "You're not bad either."

  "Are you from inland?"

  "Hmm." He Mu nodded.

  "Inland is indeed hidden dragon and crouching tiger, Wu Xing is also very formidable. Do you have time? I'd like to invite you for afternoon tea and introduce a few friends to you." Xie Tingfeng likes people with skills, He Mu defeated him, but he instead looks up to him even more.

  He Mu looked at Da Tang and asked if he could go.

  Datang nodded, "Trouble Tongfeng to send him back here later, he is not very familiar with Hong Kong."

  "No problem, we're friends from now on."

  After He Mu left, Da Tang began to discuss the contract with Chen Muxin and the people from Yindu Agency. "Air Stewardess" still had about a month of filming left, while "Manhood" would start shooting in half a month. Although He Mu's role was not big, both parties needed to coordinate well.

  ——————

  Riding in Nicholas Tse's luxurious sports car, speeding through the international metropolis of Hong Kong, Ho Miu's mind flashed back to many classic scenes from Hong Kong movies. Due to Hong Kong's limited geographical space, many architectural landmarks have appeared multiple times in these films, which accompanied a generation's growth. However, as the Hong Kong film industry declined, both well-known and unknown directors began to seek opportunities in the north, leaving fewer filmmakers loyal to this city. It has been a long time since Hong Kong cinema produced a work that left people amazed.

  Xie Tingfeng introduced his friends, the main actors of "Men's Nature", Yu Wenle, Fang Zumming and Wu Jing, who have been working out and practicing together recently to prepare for their upcoming movie.

  Xie Tongfeng is not very familiar with He Mu, he just simply introduced his name and mainland background to Wu Jing and others, of course, also mentioning his good skills. This meeting was also for everyone to get familiar with each other, after all, the five of them will be the soul of the entire movie.

  As they were all from the mainland, He Mu first became familiar with Ng Chiu, and then Ng Chiu played a bridging role to break down cultural barriers for actors from both the mainland and Hong Kong, and soon the five of them were chatting and laughing together.

  Long Taizi Fang Zumu suddenly suggested: "You guys think if He Mu and Wu Jing were to fight, who would be a bit more fierce?"

  At this time, Wu Jing also scolded with a small voice: Xiao Fangzi, you will die if you don't shut up! He has been practicing Bajiquan since he was young, and that thing hurts when it hits the body!
