Eureka's unexpected intrusion: does everyone in Great Yan know martial arts? / Eureka joins the crew: Theresia's move on Chen Qi?
With Chen Qi's command, there was no need for him to appear in the fight scenes, so the director returned to his position.
Now, all the extras are under the control of the Axe Gang members. The scene is completely different from the sunny day when filming first started. Dark clouds have made the atmosphere on set extremely oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
The neighbors, who had initially been quite tough when beating Chen Qi, were completely overwhelmed and dared not resist when faced with real gangsters. The Landlord, played by Wei Yenwu, even buried his head in the ground, too afraid to utter a sound.
Lee, who plays Brother Sum, the Axe Gang the Axe Gang, immediately wanted to regain his authority after seeing Jie beaten up like this. He immediately ordered his men to drag a mother out of the crowd.
After one member skillfully chopped open the oil drum with an axe and poured diesel fuel onto the mother and the child she was trying to protect, Lee, in a dramatic display of emotion, maintained a cold expression and questioned everyone:
Who did it?
"I'll count to three. 1." When no one answered, Lee lit his lighter as a threat. Clearly, if no one stepped forward, he intended to burn the mother and child to death.
2.
Lee counted again, but still no one responded. With extreme disdain and regret, he casually tossed the lighter away.
At that moment, even knowing it was all an act, everyone present felt their hearts leap into their throats. Lee's disregard for human life and his contempt for ordinary people, which he seemed ready to crush under his feet at any moment, made even those who knew him feel a pang of resentment.
Just as Chen Huijie subconsciously wanted to use Chi Xiao, and Lin Yuxia was about to use Originium Arts to stop her, a hand suddenly reached out and caught the lighter.
The next second, Waai Fu, whose body wasn't particularly robust but now stood as straight as a pine tree, stepped forward. Without the slightest hesitation or fear, he stared directly at the Lee before him and said decisively:
"I did it."
Before Waai Fu stood a dark, imposing line of gangsters wielding axes, and with just her presence and a single sentence, she conveyed the true meaning of the word "hero."
What is a bandit? A bandit is one who bullies the weak and wields a knife against the even weaker. What is a hero? A hero is one who serves the country and its people, suppressing the strong and helping the weak.
The moment Waai Fu stepped forward, everyone could feel the chivalry emanating from Waai Fu, a quality that she couldn't conceal no matter how tattered her clothes were.
When Waai Fu stepped forward, Huai Tianpei, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile. In that smile, there was the recognition of a martial artist and the pride of a father.
"Brother Huai's daughter possesses a righteous spirit that emanates from the depths of her heart." At this moment, Chongyue couldn't help but nod in admiration, smiling with strong approval:
"Given time, she will certainly not be inferior to her father. Cultivating both martial arts skills and moral character is the true path of martial arts."
Waai Fu stepped forward, and there was a moment of silence. But then, with a loud shout from the first Axe Gang member, several Axe Gang members charged towards Waai Fu!
Facing these thugs wielding sharp axes, Waai Fu showed no mercy. She leaped up and put to the test the martial arts she had learned from the "Twelve-Routine Tan Kicks" manual given to her by Chen Qi!
The moment Waai Fu leaped up and kicked out, the sound of air being cut immediately rang out. With one kick, he delivered two blows, knocking out the two foremost Axe Gang members.
Facing the two attackers who were sneaking up on him, Waai Fu quickly leaped up, split his legs into a wide stance, and kicked the two extras in the head with such force that he knocked them unconscious on the spot.
Head, chest, abdomen, legs... Waai Fu's moves are designed to target these parts of the body that can instantly incapacitate a person. The force is so great that you can hear the sound of air being torn apart, and when a kick lands, you can even hear a clear whipping sound!
Waai Fu unleashed her full firepower, instantly making her the target of all attacks. Even before Lee gave the order, the gang members playing the Axe Gang immediately raised their axes and charged forward! It seemed they genuinely intended to kill Waai Fu.
But no one spoke up to stop what was happening, not even Huai Tianpei, because everyone knew that Waai Fu could handle it, and these people couldn't hurt Waai Fu.
Not far away, outside the film set, a pink figure suddenly peeked out from the alley. Since all the filming crew members and equipment were invisible, what the pink-clad girl saw was Chen Qi his group watching the show from the sidelines, while inside the village, a group of people were besieging the enemy.
"This... could this be a real gang fight?! My hunch was right! That axe-shaped firework just now... there really is big news here! I have to take a picture right away!"
"Wow, that girl in the middle is so cool! She took on so many people all by herself. Could this be the legendary Yan Kung Fu Hustle? Is the rumor that everyone in Yan knows Kung Fu Hustle true?"
At that moment, Eureka, who had been sent from Kazimierz to Lungmen as a part-time spy, immediately realized that he couldn't miss the situation. He quickly took out his phone, raised his selfie stick, and started a live stream.
"Hello everyone! This is your Eureka! I'm in Lungmen right now! Look, right behind me, there's a real brawl!"
"There's a girl who knows Yan Kung Fu Hustle, and she looks like she's fighting a bunch of Mafia! Who knew Lungmen had Mafia too—everyone, let's cheer for this girl together with Eureka!"
Chapter 211: Eureka's Unexpected Intrusion, Does Everyone in the Great Yan Know Kung Fu Hustle?
The moment Eureka opened her live stream, over a thousand people flooded into the room. Eureka had been in Lungmen for some time now, and most of her fans knew she was Lungmen. The environment she was filming quickly sparked a lively discussion among her fans in the chat.
"They're actually fighting! And there's no equipment around! This doesn't look like a movie shoot!"
"How dare the streamer stay there? Call the police!"
"Why are you calling the police? These guys are obviously Syracuse Mafia! Dare to call the police to arrest the Mafia? The Syracuse will tell you you won't live to see the next day!"
"But where did the Syracuse Mafia come from in Lungmen?"
It must be said that Chen Qi's film "The Godfather" not only changed the behavior of the Syracuse Mafia, but also brought about changes in the gang organizations in various Mobile City, and made the people of Terra acknowledge the Mafia "Chen Qi.
Originally a product of Syracuse, it has now suddenly swept across the land. Whether in Lungmen or elsewhere, any gang has changed its behavior since "The Godfather" aired. Everyone has changed from their previous rude and foul-mouthed ways to logical reasoning and acting like "gentlemen".
The extras playing Axe Gang members, dressed in suits and ties, certainly evoke images of the Syracuse Mafia. Eureka, having started her livestream, had no time to pay attention to the chat; her entire focus was on the battle.
"Look! That Ancients girl is about to collapse!"
Eureka was right. Now, inside the village, facing a group of enemies surrounding her and with her space restricted, Waai Fu was indeed finding it difficult to withstand such an offensive. At first, she could still manage to kick out a few times when there was an opening, but now, facing enemies from all sides, she really couldn't use her fists and feet properly.
Two fists can't beat four hands, and what's more, Tan Kicks's biggest weakness is that it can't be used effectively. Waai Fu was also caught in a stalemate for a while, constantly looking for an opportunity to attack while constantly dodging the attacks.
"... Your legwork is quite good, but unfortunately your internal strength is still lacking. You'll be helpless against group attacks."
Huai Tianpei, observing all of this from the side, commented on Waai Fu's performance from the perspective of a martial artist, saying calmly:
"Tan Kicks is a very basic Kung Fu Hustle, and it is also the 'catalyst' for many martial arts. The many skills required to learn Tan Kicks are all laying the foundation for the martial arts to be learned in the future."
"This Twelve-Routine Tan Kicks incorporates the essence of many Tan Kicks martial arts, making it both offensive and defensive. If combined with internal energy cultivation, even twice the number of people would not be able to withstand it."
"It's a pity Brother Huai left in such a hurry; it seems he didn't have time to teach his daughter her internal energy." Beside him, Chongyue also used his internal energy to pull away the extras who were about to be attacked, ensuring that while they were hit, their vital organs wouldn't be truly injured. He then said to Huai Tianpei:
"It is truly remarkable that your daughter has such martial arts skills at such a young age. If she could continue her training, she would surely achieve great things."
"... She's more talented than me; she might go even further than me in the future."
Huai Tianpei had to admit that when he was Waai Fu's age, he hadn't reached Waai Fu's level of martial arts. Now, Waai Fu's Kung Fu Hustle was up to par, and all he needed to do was supervise his internal energy cultivation to ensure that Huai Hu wouldn't develop any stray movements. Waai Fu would definitely be able to reach an even higher level.
But... Huai Tianpei felt that Waai Fu's attitude towards martial arts was different from his; she wasn't the kind of person who devoted herself entirely to martial arts. And... he was afraid that his daughter wouldn't be willing to let him, her father, teach her.
Meanwhile, Eureka's live stream was scrolling even faster because Waai Fu was losing ground. Among the viewers were members of Lungmen, but none of them dared to call the police or go to the scene, because they were all afraid of retaliation from these gangs.
"This girl is going to lose now, right?"
"So many people, they'd probably have to be chopped into mincemeat..."
"The streamer should run away quickly, lest they be targeted and implicated!"
Eureka was too preoccupied with the comments to pay attention to the situation, as she was focused on Waai Fu. She did notice the several onlookers in the distance, but she didn't criticize them for remaining calm and refraining from taking action, perhaps mistaking them for the people behind the Mafia.
"I... I remember I still have one tear gas canister left. If I throw it, could it help that girl?"
Eureka hesitated, instinctively reaching for the tear gas canisters she had obtained from the Kazimierz military before leaving. They were supposedly meant to protect her during her safe retreat. Eureka had heard they were made with Columbia technology, and she wondered if she should throw them out now to help the Ancients girl.
Just as Eureka hesitated, a dull thud suddenly rang out, and a row of Axe Gang members flew out as if hit by a car! Behind them, a Forte man with bare chest, bronze muscles all over his body, and several steel rings on each of his hands appeared!
The newcomer was Tai He, and he was using the second martial art given to him by Chen Qi: the Hung Gar Iron Wire Fist!
"Damn it! Is this yet another expert?!"
"What a fierce man!"
"What kind of punch was that?! It sent the person flying!"
Eureka and the audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed in surprise. At this moment, Tai He waved his fists and charged into the fray with so many axes. All the Axe Gang who dared to block his way were stunned and sent flying by his powerful punches. He was no match for them!
Soon, Tai He and Waai Fu stood together. Their eyes met briefly, and they both knew exactly what to do next.
"That's so cool!!"
Eureka almost immediately voiced everyone's thoughts. Even though her phone's camera wasn't high-resolution and the footage wasn't very clear, and she was quite far away, just watching the two heroes who were surrounded by a group of Mafia yet single-handedly fought off a hundred of them made her adrenaline surge wildly.
Who wouldn't love a hero who protects civilians? Especially a lone hero in such dire straits!
"Is this the hero of Yan?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. In Yan, this is called being a chivalrous hero!"
"The heroes in martial arts movies actually exist?!"
With Waai Fu and Tai He supporting each other, the situation began to balance out, and the two cooperated to repel one enemy after another.
But soon, Eureka saw several Axe Gang members go to a car and take out weapons—semi-automatic crossbows!
"Watch out!" Eureka couldn't help but shout out when she saw this! She knew the power of the semi-automatic crossbow. Terra's semi-automatic crossbow was even more powerful than some firearms. If an arrow hit, it would be guaranteed to pierce through flesh!
As soon as she finished speaking, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air, and the Axe Gang members who were holding semi-automatic crossbows did not even have time to react before their crossbows were sent flying!
"Bang!" A wooden stick slammed into the wall, and the two semi-automatic crossbows fell apart instantly.
"What just flew by?!"
A barrage of "?" comments immediately appeared in the chat. Before Eureka could even exclaim in surprise, she saw another strong but agile figure leaping over with a long staff in hand!
"* Bolívar swears*! It's flying?!" Eureka exclaimed almost reflexively, but everything she saw proved that what she was seeing was real.
The man who charged in with his staff was Shang Zhong, the last to appear in this fight scene and the most skilled of the three. The Fifth Brother's Eight Trigram Staff was greatly enhanced in the hands of Shang Zhong, a master of the staff.
With a single blow, Shang Zhong shattered the crossbow of one of the nearest Axe Gang. The ordinary wooden stick in his hand even showed a resilience as if it were a soft stick!
With Shang Zhong's addition and the support of his more group-fight-oriented staff techniques, Shang Zhong alone possessed the aura of sweeping away thousands of troops! One Axe Gang member after another was knocked away, and the number of people being knocked away increased rapidly, keeping Rat King and Lin Yuxia somewhat overwhelmed!
In an instant, under Shang Zhong's staff and the Originium Arts of the Rat King and Lin Yuxia, the entire scene was filled with flying sand and stones. Yellow soil and sand particles kept flying up, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening inside. All that could be heard were the sounds of blows, screams, and shouts!
"Are these people even human?!"
Now, Eureka and the chat in his live stream have both stopped. After an unknown amount of time, as the sand settled, everything at the scene gradually became clear.
All that could be seen were seventy or eighty once imposing Axe Gang members, all lying unconscious on the ground. Lee and several of his men quickly fled the scene.
Beneath that dust, standing there, are the three heroes who stepped forward this time!
They all appeared to be panting and drenched in sweat, as if they had won in a very difficult manner, but none of them were injured, and none of them questioned their victory.
Now that they stand here, everyone has come to realize the true appearance and spirit of the Great Yan's "heroes"!
At that moment, Eureka and everyone in the live stream were stunned. After what seemed like an eternity, Eureka swallowed hard, unable to find the words to describe the shock of what he was witnessing. He could only manage a limited vocabulary. "... Amazing!"
"Everyone, I... I don't know how to describe it, but this is just too much—wait, where's my phone?"
However, just as Eureka was about to express her feelings to the audience, she discovered that her phone had vanished from her selfie stick, and a beautiful figure of Drac girl with dragon horns had appeared in front of her.
"I think you should first explain to us how you got in, and what you were streaming about."
At that moment, Talulah stared coldly at Eureka before her. Black flames suddenly ignited in her hand, and Eureka watched helplessly as her phone burned in Talulah's grasp, instantly turning to ashes...
"No way! I bought this new phone with three months' salary!!"
At this moment, Eureka's cries of anguish could not change her fate of facing questioning. And facing the aggressive Talulah, Eureka felt that the greatest threat to her life that she had ever faced... might be today.
Chapter 212: Eureka's Joining the Group, Theresia's Actions Towards Chen Qi?
"Waaaaah... I'll never do it again, please forgive me! I really just wandered in by accident, I didn't know this was Director Chen Qi's film crew..."
At that moment, Eureka, who had rashly broadcast the filming of "Kung Fu Hustle" live, was brought back to the set by Talulah. When Eureka saw the transparent filming crew revealed, as well as the three masters he had just admired, and even the "gangster boss" (Lee) standing together, he knew what was going on.
Of course, these people weren't the ones that truly terrified Eureka. What really made her feel like her death was imminent was the appearance of Chen Qi, whom she had only seen on television, and Wei Yenwu, the ruler of Lungmen, whom she had only known from television after arriving in Lungmen.
When Eureka saw the two men, she knew she was in deep trouble.
Eureka naturally knew that Chen Qi's crew had come to Lungmen to film "Kung Fu Hustle." The fact that so many martial arts figures were gathered in Lungmen was largely due to her, but Eureka didn't dare to see Chen Qi at all.
The reason is simple: combining the live broadcast incident in Kazimierz with Chen Qi's assassination attempt in Columbia, Eureka immediately understood that Chen Qi would think it was her fault that she was assassinated!
Eureka wasn't stupid. The Grand Knight Commander of Kazimierz was willing to employ her for life after she had caused such a huge mess, but he casually sent her to Lungmen because he was afraid she would cause even more trouble for Kazimierz, but he couldn't let her die in Kazimierz.
Therefore, sending her to Lungmen and specifically instructing her to leak information about Chen Qi was a way to use Chen Qi to get rid of her!
But what could Eureka do? Even if she didn't come to Lungmen, she might not be able to protect herself in Kazimierz. Left with no other choice, she came to Lungmen, and she did so quite publicly, with all the news reports related to Chen Qi, but she never dared to actually approach him, fearing she might be caught one day...
This is why she always dares to join groups that nobody else dares to join! She has to maintain a high profile to ensure she doesn't get hurt! During her time in Lungmen, Eureka acted like a "war correspondent" to create buzz, afraid that if she didn't get enough attention, she would be "accidentally" exposed.
But to her surprise, she still couldn't escape this fate. Even though she wasn't being harassed and had snacks and tea to drink, Eureka still felt that she was not far from death.
"That's how it is. When I found her, her livestream had already been running for a while." Talulah explained to Chen Qi why she brought Eureka along, while Saria, looking at her phone, said with a serious expression:
"Director Chen Qi, the fight scene we just witnessed has been uploaded to the Lungmen channel in clip form, and in less than ten minutes, it has already reached ten thousand views."
"This is bad. The action scenes are the highlight of our movie. If all our action scenes have already been analyzed beforehand, how many people will still come to see our movie?"
For movies that primarily feature martial arts, leaked action sequences can be devastating. Once audiences have seen your action scenes on other platforms, their anticipation for your film will be significantly reduced.
Because the best thing about your movies is the action scenes! Plus, Great Yan's martial arts films usually save the most exciting fight scenes for the end. This is why most action and martial arts movies spend the first hour or so setting up the action, and everyone is there for the final fight.
The fight scene recorded by Eureka is so spectacular that it would be considered a masterpiece in any movie. The fight scenes involving Waai Fu, Tai He, and the Shang Zhong were all simulated to be the most realistic. Even if it were done again, the effect might not be as good.
Immediately, Talulah, Chen Huijie, FrostNova, and the others all glared at Eureka with hostility, and Chen Huijie immediately said:
"I'll contact the Lungmen Guard Department's cybersecurity department right now and have the relevant content removed before the impact becomes too great!"
