Chapter 7 Do you have a script for a kung fu movie?
"Walter, to be honest, your Tang costume is really bad! This is not what our descendants of the Tang Dynasty should wear, I believe you rarely watch Hong Kong movies, and if you want to wear Tang costumes in the future, you will follow those in Hong Kong movies." ”
As rumored, Bruce Lee doesn't drink alcohol, and he rarely drinks alcohol, and his alcohol consumption is very low, and he drinks red after half a glass of Japanese sake, and there is a tendency to get drunk after two more glasses. Wine is a cup of poison, and when men drink too much, they will not be as drunk as before, and they will be drunk frequently, which is the case with Bruce Lee, which also caused Bruce Lee, who was originally a little wary of Walter, to completely let go of telling his story to Walter.
"Brother Long, it's your mistake, I think you're talking about the kind of horse coat 'full clothes' in Hong Kong movies, that's not our Tang people's clothing, it's Manchu clothes, not Han clothes. After listening to this, Walter replied with a straight face, correcting Bruce Lee's mistake very harshly.
"Is this true? Won't you be mistaken?" Walter said this point made Bruce Lee stunned, he was born in the United States, although he later lived in Hong Kong, but he always thought that Manfu was Hanfu, and now when he heard Walter's convincing remarks, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, of course, he was still mostly suspicious, after all, this is just the perception of their overseas Chinese.
"Really, I have some books about our ancient China, and I can show them to you next time. ”
“ok!”
Seeing that Bruce Lee still had a skeptical look, Walter couldn't help but shake his head, at this moment he thought in his heart, even if he couldn't take Bruce Lee to shoot "Enter the Dragon" this time, he would have to correct the views of Bruce Lee, these overseas Chinese, thinking that in his previous life, many Hong Kong movies used Manchu clothes as Han costumes, Walter felt sick to his stomach, if their respected ancestors saw this scene, they couldn't say that the coffin board buried in the ground for thousands of years couldn't be suppressed.
Of course, these are not to blame Bruce Lee's generations of non-mainland Chinese, because after all, there are some well-known reasons, even if some Chinese at home and abroad, including Jackie Chan, mistakenly thought that the "full costume" of the horse coat was the "Tang costume" in that special period of time, in fact, the real "Tang costume" refers to the Hanfu, after all, in the eyes of those overseas Chinese, they are all Han people, not the Manchu barbarians they fled from, naturally their clothes are not Manchu clothes!
As for why it is called Tang costume, there is also a reason, not like many people in later generations thought that it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, I believe that these are purely the obscenity of many people in China, it is true that the Tang Dynasty is extremely brilliant, but in the current era of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and the faint invasion of capitalism all over the world, who still has much worship for your past history?
The reason why Han clothes are called Tang costumes, and China is called Tangshan, is because the first generation went to Nanyang earlier, and most of the immigrants were Fujian and Cantonese people from Fujian and Guangdong, and in local languages such as Hokkien and Teochew, China was called Tangshan, and naturally, Chinese clothes were called Tang costumes.
It's useless to say, Walter also knows so, probably these histories can only be explored slowly by future generations. Of course, thinking that some of the old and young in later generations want to tamper with history, Walter can't help but think that if he had made Hong Kong movies fully become serious Hanfu at this moment in advance, and informed this part of the history of the Han people in advance, there would not be so many things in the mainland in later generations, right?
The more I think about it, the more excited I become, after all, for him in his previous life, there is a pimple in his heart after all, although he is no longer in his previous life, but it is not bad to be able to correct some regrets in his previous life. After all, this was the humiliation left by the Manchu rulers on the Han nation! When the Manchu rulers forcibly promulgated the "shaving of hair and changing clothes" in 1645 A.D., the three massacres in Jiading, and the 10th day in Yangzhou, the backbone and bloody Han people dropped their noble heads in order to safeguard the dignity of the nation, but unfortunately they still failed to keep their clothes.
However, this cannot be blamed on the ignorance of future generations, after all, it is a tragedy caused by history, only to understand that period of history, in order to regain the dignity of the Han people! And if the descendants do not even know the culture of their ancestors, it is also extremely sad, and for Walter, it is also necessary to lay out the Hong Kong market in advance, after all, no one knows better than him what kind of market the frozen continent has.
The meal ended quickly, although Walter and Bruce Lee seemed to talk a lot, but after all, it was just this meal, even in the end, Walter did not open his mouth to explain his intentions, but simply maintained a friendship similar to compatriots.
Because Walter is testing Bruce Lee, after all, he also received news that MGM and Columbia, the two giants of live-action movies, have already sent people to contact Bruce Lee, and I'm afraid I believe that he will not be the third person to contact Bruce Lee.
From this point of view, Walter's hope is not great, so Walter has a unique way to invite Bruce Lee to dinner, and even wears Hanfu and speaks Chinese, in order to make up for his own shortcomings, and now for Walter, it is to elevate his position in the eyes of Bruce Lee to the same position as Warner, so that he can have a chance.
Otherwise, under the premise that Disney is obviously not as good as several other Hollywood giants in terms of live-action movies, and has suffered serious losses in live-action movies in recent years, Walter believes that normal people will not choose him. Therefore, only by doing something and quickly improving his position in Bruce Lee's heart can he intercept Bruce Lee.
After checking out the meal in front of Bruce Lee, Walter gave enough tips to the Chinese female service, and soon didn't say a word and wanted to send Bruce Lee out.
The footsteps of leather shoes beside him sounded, and Walter was beside him, but there was a feeling in his heart that seconds were like years, because of this brief conversation, he didn't know what the situation was. However, the only thing he knows is that even if he fails, he must calm down, in the words of his previous life, it is the hole he dug himself, and he will fill it even if he cries.
Even if he really misses Bruce Lee this time, he has to maintain his demeanor, after all, there is a next chance...... Hey, wait, no, I think too much, in my memory, Bruce Lee died suddenly in Ding Pei's boudoir just before the release of "Enter the Dragon", and still think about next time?
No, you can't let Bruce Lee die like this, you have to stop it, but can he really stop it?
……
The wandering thoughts suddenly made Walter distracted, and when he woke up, the two of them had gone outside the restaurant, and it was time to separate.
"Goodbye, Bruce, it's nice to have such a good chat with you. ”
"Oh, ok!ok!" Bruce Lee next to him seems to be at odds with Walter, I really don't know what he's thinking, and when Walter complained in his heart about whether Bruce Lee could be a little polite, Bruce Lee's next sentence made him stunned, "Do you have a script for a kung fu movie?"
