In the first few days, whenever Winterdur contacted a theater, he would call Wang Xiaohu to report the good news, the little old man seemed to be particularly positive, and he seemed to exude the momentum of a young man, he said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile on the phone: "Tiger, I never thought that today, decades later, I would repeat the feeling of entering the film industry at the beginning of the year, it is really memorable, you made me experience the hard work and joy of struggle." [Full text reading]"

Wang Xiaohu would care on the phone: "Lao Wen, I'm glad to see that you have such a sufficient mental head, don't be tired, you must know that you are an antique-level employee of our company." Winterdur happily enjoyed Wang Xiaohu's praise.

But as we entered the end of January, Winterdur had fewer and fewer phone calls, and sometimes he would look very tired and say in an apologetic tone: "Tiger, I've signed contracts for 30 small theaters, and tomorrow I'm going to launch an offensive against big companies like [***], MGM, 20th Century Fox, give me some time, okay?" ”

Wang Xiaohu has not received a call from Winterdur for two days, and he can no longer accompany Zhao Yazhi on vacation, so on February 3, Wang Xiaohu and his party rushed to Winterdur's home in Los Angeles.

Winterdur's home is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles, he himself likes a quiet and leisurely living environment, so there are no other buildings within a kilometer radius of his house, under the leadership of Paul Shearer, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi knocked on the door of Lao Wen's house.

It wasn't until he saw Winterdur lying on the bed hanging a drip that Wang Xiaohu realized that this old guy who worked hard for himself was sick.

"Boss, I feel very sorry, I agreed to negotiate a contract with the distribution manager of [***] yesterday, who knows" Winterdur's eyelids drooped, and the expression on his face showed that he was very haggard now, this situation made Wang Xiaohu feel very ashamed, he stepped forward and said: "Hey, Lao Wen, what you have to do now is to take care of your body, as for the rest of the things to be handled by me." ”

"Boss, I'm worried." Winterdur wanted to continue to say something in a weak voice, but had to stop because of a violent cough, and finally Wang Xiaohu comforted Winterdur a few words before leaving.

"Tiger, I'm sorry, our theater will be full from next weekend, and you know it's Valentine's Day soon, so the films distributed by our company during this time are all literary romance films." The release manager of [***] said in extremely tactful words.

"Well, thank you for telling me this in your busy schedule." Wang Xiaohu stood up with some disappointment and said.

"As far as we know, you're talking to Bruce. Lee is a good friend, and now his "Enter the Dragon" is doing well at the North American box office, why don't you take the opportunity to shoot a kung fu movie, I think the box office is better than this "Rocky". When the other party sent Wang Xiaohu to the door of the [***] company, he said such a sentence.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu only now understands what Winterdur means when he says "I'm worried", yes, whether it's Warner or the current [***], what they value is Bruce Lee's box office appeal, which is still xenophobic from the bottom of his bones, thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but sigh.

The other party sighed when he saw Wang Xiaohu, and thought that his opinion had been adopted, so he continued: "According to our company's statistics, Tiger's "IP-MAN" has also exceeded 50 million at the box office in North America, but you are trying to shoot a sequel, and now the audience is very interested in kung fu films with oriental characteristics, I think, you can understand what I mean, right?" ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Thank you for reminding us, if you have the opportunity, we will cooperate." ”

"I'm looking forward to your company's kung fu films." The other party said with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu took a long breath after walking out of the [***] company, raised his head to look at the blue sky, and then sat on the steps with his chin in his hand, thinking back to what the [***] distribution manager said just now, could it be that after Brother Xiaolong died, he would never be able to break through that layer of lenga?

"Hey, look, isn't this our pretentious Oriental director?"

Just when Wang Xiaohu frowned and pondered, a familiar voice came from in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw three people walking down the steps, and it was Gao Luos who spoke.

"Haha, take a look, Bruce. After Li Soul returned to heaven, our Oriental director was completely down! Gaulos laughed and said to the two people beside him, "Paul, what did I say before?" Orientals trying to gain a foothold in Hollywood were completely dreaming, and they finally came up with a blues. Lee, but after filming the first Hollywood blockbuster, I went to see God! ”

Wang Xiaohu narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Gao Luos, who was talking, he didn't show the slightest anger, in fact, he wanted to beat Gao Luos now, but reason told him that he couldn't do this, and after the corners of his mouth curled up and glanced at Gao Luos with disdain, he stood up and left.

"Hey, Oriental Boy, do you want to go like this?" Gao Luosi grabbed Wang Xiaohu, tilted his head and said, "Are you weak-hearted?" Or maybe the distribution of your American inspirational film has been blocked? ”

"Jimmy, an Oriental actually made an inspirational film that promotes the American spirit, hahaha, what a ridiculous joke!" Gao Luos pulled the guy next to him and said, the two partners immediately cooperated when they heard this, and pretended to be surprised and asked, "This is the Oriental kid you said some time ago?" We Americans can't shoot well, let alone the Orientals! ”

"Of course!" Gao Luos nodded very proudly and said sarcastically: "It's him, he thinks that he will do whatever he wants after mastering the skills of kung fu films, who would have thought that Bruce. After Lee left, he was completely revealed, haha! ”

"So what?" Wang Xiaohu said: "Gao Luosi, have you forgotten how you got out of the crew of "Enter the Dragon" in the first place? ”

This sentence greatly irritated Gao Luos's sore spot, which he had ever suffered, and he had never mentioned it to anyone except those in the know, not even a few of his close friends.

After Gao Luos was kicked out of the crew by Wang Xiaohu as an investor, he was going crazy, especially after hearing that Wang Xiaohu came to Hollywood to shoot an inspirational film that embodies the American spirit, he used his influence in Hollywood to ridicule Wang Xiaohu, but the good times did not last long, "Enter the Dragon" was a hit at the North American box office, and the rumors he caused to Wang Xiaohu earlier were self-defeating, so he said in an interview with reporters that Wang Xiaohu succeeded by relying on Bruce Lee.

When the bad news of Bruce Lee came from Hong Kong, Gao Luo became even more violent, which made Warner very bored, so after high-level deliberation, he exiled Gao Luos, and today he happened to be introduced by a friend [***] to interview the director, and happened to meet Wang Xiaohu, how could the resentful Gao Luo give up this great opportunity for revenge.

How do you know that Wang Xiaohu actually mentioned this mess in front of his friends, how can you let Gao Luos calm down, he blushed and stretched out his fist and shook it in front of Wang Xiaohu and said: "Oriental boy, this is the United States, you have to be responsible for what you said!" ”

Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "You are intimidating me!" I can sue you under U.S. law! ”

Gao Los sneered: "American law only protects American citizens, and Orientals like you are not protected!" As he spoke, he swung his fist out, not wanting to hit Wang Xiaohu yet, the bridge of his nose immediately stabbed, and then he felt the tip of his nose hot, and the hot and humid liquid flowed out of his nose.

"Golos, you're bleeding!" Paul and Jimmy's partners cried out in horror.

“**！ Let's beat him up! Gao Luos lost his mind after hanging the lottery and encouraged his two partners to fight Wang Xiaohu.

"I like to fight or something!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and posed for Wing Chun to ask his hands, not wanting this posture to make passers-by scream.

"Look, it's IP-MAN's signage move!"

“kung-fu！ ese-kung-fu！ A white man ran over excitedly and said, "Hey, are you a Chinese kung fu master, please accept me as an apprentice!" ”

"Oh my god, he's an ip-man, Bruce. Lee's brother! ”

More people gathered around, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that the white-haired young man in front of them turned out to be the starring actor in "Ip Man", the IP-man who faced the awe-inspiring righteousness under the guns of imperialism in the film, and the hero Bruce who once set off a kung fu boom in the world. Brother that Li often talks about!

Everyone became excited, after Bruce Lee's sudden death, they were all immersed in grief, and now they saw Wang Xiaohu doing it with others on the street, and the posture alone made their hearts pound.

Seeing this, the three of Gao Luos immediately felt weak, and they didn't even follow the rule that the villains had to leave a few cruel words before leaving, and fled in embarrassment.

"Hey, you're Tiger. Wang, I've seen your movie, can you sign it for me? The white lad took out a pen, but could not find a place to sign it, and finally threw up his arm and said, "Sign it here, I adore you." When Wang Xiaohu signed the autograph, he also chattered: "You will talk to Bruce. Li is the same as opening the museum to teach apprentices, if there is one, notify me as soon as possible, please remember my name, my name is Shang. Claude. Fan. Dame, I admire Chinese kung fu very much, so I gave myself a very good Chinese name: Shange Yunton, how do you feel? ”

"What? Your name is Shange Winton? Wang Xiaohu looked at him with some surprise after signing the name, and was speechless for a while, this is too a fucking coincidence, he is the Hollywood action superstar who has won the European Professional Karate Association middleweight championship and won many competitions, known as the "Brussels Muscle Man"?

I don't know if Shange Winton really has a relationship with China, since 1993, he starred in the debut of several Hong Kong action film directors who entered Hollywood. He has starred in John Woo's "The Ultimate Target", Tsui Hark's "Counterattack King" and "Head Attack", and Lin Lingdong's "Hard Attack 100% Dangerous". "Copy Killer" and "Hell Awakening Dragon". His legendary and realistic performances made these action films legendary, and Shange Winton became an important actor in action films. As an excellent action movie actor, he has a very important place in the hearts of action movie fans around the world.

Judging from his age, Shange Winton seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it stands to reason that he should be in Brussels, Belgium, so how could he meet him in Los Angeles? Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "Why did you appear here?" ”

"Oh God." Shange Winton said with a sad expression, "I heard about Bruce a week ago. Lee was buried in Seattle, begged my father for a long time to be allowed to come to the United States to pay his respects, and I also became interested in Hollywood, so "
