Huayu97: Starting with Wu Song Fighting the Tiger

Yuan Bin then pointed to the hook on the steel cable, "The hook will be hoisted now, and we'll use a machine to lift you up immediately! All you have to do is perform various movements in mid-air! Remember, you must maintain your balance, and don't panic!"

Looking at the tall wire rig, Liu Xiang felt no nervousness!

He had tried it a few times on the set of Water Margin and found it very cool.

Yuan Bin continued, "Kid, the safety measures for the wire work are very thorough, nothing will happen! Try it out and see how it feels!"

Liu Xiang nodded and, following Yuan Bin's instructions, hooked the safety rope around his waist. The hook was sturdy and fastened tightly to his waist, giving him a sense of security.

Yuan Bin directed the staff to slowly start the machine.

At this moment, Liu Xiang's body slowly rose up.

When he was two meters above the ground, Won Bin shouted, "Stop!"

The machine stopped, and Liu Xiang, suspended in mid-air, looked down at the ground.

Yuan Bin shouted from below, "Liu Xiang, relax your body now! Try doing a flip in the air!"

Soon, Liu Xiang twisted her body forcefully and did a 360-degree flip in the air.

He had practiced this move countless times on the ground and was already very skilled at it.

When he turned over, Yuan Bin and Lin Dian couldn't help but applaud.

"Good! Good lad! You've really got it!" Won Bin shouted.

Liu Xiang felt a surge of excitement; receiving affirmation was the greatest joy.

Then, Yuan Bin had Liu Xiang perform some basic maneuvers in the air, such as jumping, spinning, and diving.

Liu Xiang studied very diligently, practicing again and again, but he didn't feel tired at all.

He knew that only by mastering these fundamental skills could he perform those difficult actions during filming.

Just as Liu Xiang was practicing with great enthusiasm, Cheng Xiaodong rushed over, holding a shooting schedule in his hand, his face filled with anxiety. "Liu Xiang, stop practicing! There's an emergency!"

Liu Xiang quickly climbed down from the wire scaffold and asked curiously, "What happened to Coach Cheng?"

Ching Siu-tung frowned and said, "Duan Yu has a scene where he jumps off a cliff, but the stunt double suddenly got acute gastroenteritis today and had to be hospitalized! This scene is very important and must be filmed today! I want you to replace him, are you willing?"

At this moment, Liu Xiang felt a surge of excitement.

Duan Yu's stunt double! This is a rare opportunity!

He quickly replied, "I dare! Coach Cheng, don't worry! I definitely won't let you down!"

Ching Siu-tung nodded. "Good! I'm relieved to hear that! This scene is very difficult. You have to jump off a cliff that's over ten meters high, then do a somersault in mid-air, and finally land on the air cushion below! Are you confident?"

Liu Xiang patted his chest, "I'm confident!"

Ching Siu-tung nodded in satisfaction. "Alright! Let's head to the filming location now!"

Immediately, everyone headed towards the cliff.

Reaching the edge of the cliff, Liu Xiang looked up and saw a towering precipice overlooking a dense, lush forest that looked somewhat intimidating. The staff had already laid out a thick air cushion below the cliff; the cushion was a vibrant red, standing out starkly against the green forest.

At this time, Li Tiansheng, Chen Haoming, Li Ruotong and others were already waiting there.

Seeing Liu Xiang approach, Chen Haoming quickly came over and patted him on the shoulder. "Liu Xiang, don't be nervous! Just do it like you usually do in training! If you're scared, just shout it out!"

Liu Xiang nodded. "Thank you, Brother Haoming. I'm not scared!"

Li Ruotong also came over, a hint of worry on her face. Looking at Liu Xiang, she said, "Liu Xiang, you must be careful! Don't hurt yourself!"

Feeling Li Ruotong's concerned gaze, Liu Xiang felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "Sister Ruotong, don't worry! I'm fine!"

Cheng Xiaodong looked at them and shouted, "Attention all departments! Scene 35 of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,' Scene 1, Duan Yu falls off the cliff. Silence, prepare, action!"

Liu Xiang took a deep breath, glanced at the air cushion below the cliff, then closed his eyes and leaped forward.

At that moment, he instantly lost his balance and plummeted down the cliff.

The wind whistled past his ears; he relaxed his body and tried to maintain his balance.

Moreover, during her descent, Liu Xiang performed a 360-degree flip in the air.

This flip was executed beautifully, with the body drawing a graceful arc in the air.

When he flipped over, he saw the air cushion below the cliff.

He adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the air cushion.

"Perfect!" Cheng Xiaodong couldn't help but shout.

Li Tiansheng clapped his hands excitedly, "Good! Good lad! That's a real stunt double! One take!"

Huang Rihua and Chen Haoming applauded, saying, "Liu Xiang, you're amazing!"

Li Ruotong was even more excited, a joyful smile on her face: "You scared me to death!"

At that moment, Liu Xiang felt a surge of emotion and said, "Sister Ruotong, I'm fine!"

Cheng Xiaodong walked over, patted Liu Xiang on the shoulder, and said, "Kid, well done! You nailed this scene in one take! You're a genius!"

Liu Xiang scratched her head sheepishly, "Thank you for the compliment, Coach Cheng! It's all thanks to you, Coach Yuan, and Coach Lin for their excellent teaching!"

Li Tiansheng nodded in satisfaction. "Liu Xiang, from today onwards, you'll be our crew's main stunt double! I'll give you a raise of two thousand, making it five thousand per scene!"

"Five thousand yuan?" Liu Xiang's eyes widened like saucers.

In the 1990s, that was an astronomical figure!

He quickly said, "Thank you, Director Li! I will definitely do my best!"

Li Tiansheng laughed heartily, "Good! That's ambitious!"

At lunchtime, a staff member ran over with a boxed lunch in his hand. "Liu Xiang, this is your lunch! You did a great job today, so the crew gave you an extra chicken leg!"

Liu Xiang accepted the boxed lunch, feeling a surge of emotion.

When he opened the lunchbox, he saw fragrant rice, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and a large chicken leg on top.

When Liu Xiang picked up the chicken leg and took a big bite, it tasted really delicious!

Seeing him wolfing down his food, Li Ruotong couldn't help but laugh. "Liu Xiang, eat slowly! Don't choke!"

Liu Xiang nodded, her mouth full of food, and mumbled, "It's so delicious!"

Everyone burst into laughter at his appearance.

Liu Xiang did not become arrogant or complacent because of this; he still arrived at the training ground early every day.

Then, he began another scene as a stunt double.

Liu Xiang followed Cheng Xiaodong to the dressing room.

The dressing room was filled with the faint scent of cosmetics, and several makeup artists were busy at work. Seeing Liu Xiang approach, one of the older makeup artists' eyes lit up, and she quickly put down what she was doing. "Wow! This young man is really handsome!"

Ching Siu-tung laughed and said, "Yes! Otherwise, why would Director Lee have let him be Chan Ho-ming's stunt double?"
