Winterdur's words have two meanings: from a personal point of view, he is more than happy to complete this grand occasion of a Sino-American co-production, and the other party is a kung fu superstar like Bruce Lee. But Americans are very different from Chinese, they like to treat public affairs and private affairs separately, so from the perspective of Warner Bros., he must complete the inspection of Concord and give a detailed report to the company as soon as possible to determine the ownership of the final contract.

In fact, at the beginning, Winterdur was spared into a strange circle by Wang Xiaohu, if it wasn't for Gao Luos's performance at that time that he couldn't react, he could have vetoed Wang Xiaohu's request if the contract between the two parties was not signed. Because now it is only a sign that both parties are showing signs of cooperation, and only after signing and drawing in black and white can Wang Xiaohu's identity as an investor be recognized by the law.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu does not think that American law will be binding on him. He just couldn't see Gao Luos's words, and felt disgusted with this second-rate director who had ruined Bruce Lee's works from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want his and Bruce Lee's hard work to be possessed by him.

Therefore, after listening to Winterdur's open and honest words, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee glanced at each other, and Wang Xiaohu proposed to look at the works of Concord Company first, and then make a comprehensive evaluation.

So the location of the negotiation between the two sides was transferred to a nearby screening hall, in this small screening hall belonging to Concord's cinema chain, Wang Xiaohu arranged for the staff to play the English version of "Ip Man" first, he believes that this is the most wonderful work since he directed alone, and it is a classic production that can represent the comprehensive strength of Concord.

With the wonderful martial arts action and the uplifting background music, Winterdur was greatly shocked in the depths of his heart! is different from "Jingwumen", which has been released in some theaters in Europe and the United States (Jingwumen still belongs to the copyright of Golden Harvest, uh! "Ip Man" made Winterdur finally experience the same beauty as the Chinese tea ceremony and martial arts, and the strong oriental art atmosphere made him devote himself to the film.

For one hundred and twenty minutes, Winterdur didn't know how many times he applauded, he didn't know how many times he cried, "Oh God, Bruce, tell me quickly, this is the work of your Concord?" I was so surprised! ”

"Yes! This is the film directed, written, and starred in Tiger himself, how do you feel? Bruce Lee said with a smile.

"I couldn't believe my eyes, was I seeing a Hong Kong movie? In my decades of professional film vision, this is a work that can be called first-class in Hollywood! Winterdur's old face flushed with excitement, and his right hand tightly held Bruce Lee's arm and said: "I dare to assure you that this movie called "IP-MAN" will cause a whirlwind in Hollywood, Bruce, don't be upset, what I said is true!" ”

"Thank God, I thought I only wanted to get Bruce on this trip, but God had mercy on me and let me discover a talent like Tiger who can perform miracles, God, you are so good to me!"

Old Winterdur was a little incoherent with excitement, and it could be seen from his true feelings at this time that he no longer had the slightest prejudice against Wang Xiaohu now. "Tiger, I want to solemnly apologize to you, I originally wanted to keep Gaulos in other ways, but it seems that there is no need now, because I feel that you are more qualified than him for the position of director!"

"Don't you have to report to Warner for instructions?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, did he know that the warm-hearted little old man in front of him would always do something that made people happy, otherwise Bruce Lee would not have been disappointed one after another.

"Oh, you're right." Winterdur patted his forehead and said, "I'm almost going to do the same thing again, yes, I have to ask the company for instructions first." But I would strongly recommend you to be the director, please believe in my sincerity! ”

"I can feel your sincerity." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "No matter whether this matter is successful or not, it will not affect my work and positive surname!" Thank you. ”

"Tiger, the mind of the Oriental makes me right, in your words, it is called self-esteem, I don't know if I am right to express this?"

Hearing Winterdur's cameo appearance in "China Expert" and speaking that lame and abnormal Chinese, both Long and Tiger laughed. Bruce Lee patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're right! Let's take a look at the remaining two films. ”

"Of course!" Winterdur laughed: "It's incredible that I want to continue to feel the shock you bring!" ”

Throughout the afternoon, Winterdur stayed in the screening room to watch "The Righteous Hero" and "The Raptors Across the River", and even watched the completed "Warrior", the little old man's heart can no longer be described as shocked, after a series of shocks, he has been a little numb. He shook his head, let out a long breath and said, "Oh, please allow me to call Warner now to report." ”

"I'm willing to serve you." With a bright smile on his face, Bruce Lee took Winterdur to make a phone call.

After a while, he returned to Wang Xiaohu's side, beat Wang Xiaohu's arm and said, "Brother, you did a great job!" ”

"This is just the beginning!" Wang Xiaohu sat on the chair and said in a very uneasy tone: "Brother Xiaolong, the time has come for me to be busy, but I hope you will let Warner's side delay it until after my engagement banquet anyway, otherwise I don't have the energy to do such a big project." ”

"Don't worry!" Bruce Lee patted his chest and said, "Although I am also very anxious, I can't delay your life's major events because of this!" ”

"If Warners are in a hurry to turn things on, I have a lot of ways to delay them." Wang Xiaohu thought about it and said: "I first went to the United States to select actors in Hollywood, and then pulled their actors to Hong Kong for intensive training, how can I toss for a month, and when my things are done, I will devote myself to filming." ”

"Your suggestion is good! Hollywood is indeed shooting in this way, and I'm glad that you've been sticking to this model, which will give our Concord a sense of superiority over other Hong Kong film companies. Bruce Lee nodded.

At that moment, Winterdur returned to the screening room, his face not as bright as it had been when he left, and he put his hands on his chest and gestured back and forth, "Gentlemen, I want to say that I have failed, and they do not agree to have Tiger as the director." ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head, this was something he expected, but Bruce Lee had to fight for his brother no matter what: "Hey, Winterdur, you can't do this, it's too unfair to us, no one is more suitable for the position of director than Tiger, he is a screenwriter, he knows Chinese kung fu, he knows a lot of Chinese customs and habits, I am an old partner with him, I don't want to see a stranger to point fingers!" ”

"Bruce, please calm down, I can feel your feelings." Winterdur hurriedly comforted: "Actually, I reported to them the same way, but you know that they are stubborn and stubborn in some things. ”

"What is this?" Bruce Lee looked at the old Winter with some anger and said, "Hey, I don't want to say that this is the first time, but their answer disappointed me again!" ”

Winterdur was embarrassed, yes, he took it for granted several times, giving Bruce Lee hope every time, but disappointing Bruce Lee every time.

"Brother Xiaolong, can you sit down first?" Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you think about it from another perspective, Warner's decision is not wrong, is it because of these so-called false names that I won't do my best?" You're wrong, think about what I just told you, as long as you come to Hong Kong, everything will be filmed the way we do! ”

"But what they do chills me!"

Wang Xiaohu said these words in Cantonese to Bruce Lee, so as not to prevent Winterdur from understanding the conversation between the two. In the eyes of old Winter, the two were having a fierce quarrel at this time.

"Gentlemen, can you wait first, I haven't had time to finish yet, although they didn't agree to Tiger as a director, but with my repeated efforts, they finally agreed to Tiger to be an assistant director." Winterdur put it this way.

"What? Assistant director? The expression on Bruce Lee's face was very strange, he touched his nose and said, "Is it just an assistant director?" ”

Winterdur sighed and said, "Yes, I have done my best. ”

"So Warner has agreed to five of our requests?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "Then can we sit down and sign the contract?" ”

"Yes, we can sign a contract!"

In Concord's office, Winterdur took out the contract that had been drawn up a long time ago, in fact, they had already determined their intention to sign, but some substantive terms needed to be revised again, such as the director candidate, such as the amount of money invested by both parties, such as the cast, etc.

The two sides sat in the office and had a heated discussion for two hours, and Wang Xiaohu took a strong attitude to fight for every inch of land, and finally added a clause at the end of the contract that Warner would be responsible for the publicity costs of the global distribution.

In the end, after Bruce Lee carefully checked the contract three times, he signed his name with a big stroke of the pen, and then Wang Xiaohu and Winterdur also signed their names respectively.

"Guys, are we going to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate?" Wang Xiaohu proposed.

"I agree!" Winterdur immediately raised his hand, the two hours just now were the most tiring time of his life, he was almost crushed by two Chinese, after the contract was signed, he was suddenly relieved, but his whole body was as wet as if he had been brought out of the water, he now needed something to drink and relax
