Wang Xiaohu and his entourage first arrived in Los Angeles and found Winterdur, who was supervising the post-production of the English version of "Enter the Dragon", which was a plan he agreed with Bruce Lee before leaving Hong Kong. [Full text reading]

Winterdur had had enough of Wang Xiaohu's authoritarian hegemony when he was filming "Enter the Dragon" in Hong Kong, but after returning to the United States, when he handed the dailies to Warner Bros. executives for review, the shooting quality of the dailies was unanimously recognized by the company, and they thought it was a rare film.

So even if Winterdur has any prejudice against Stallone, for the sake of Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee's relationship, he is still willing to help Wang Xiaohu with this. As soon as they got off the plane, Winterdur and Paul Sele warmly embraced Wang Xiaohu. "Tiger, welcome to Los Angeles again." "Angie, you're so beautiful today!"

"Thank you." Zhao Yazhi responded with a shallow smile.

"Lao Wen, how did you handle the things entrusted to you a few days ago?" Wang Xiaohu had woken up from the effects of sleeping pills at this time, and what he entrusted Winterdur to do was to recruit actors for "Rocky", but the way to recruit actors this time was very different from the past, Wang Xiaohu directly named the actors.

Winterdur shrugged, showing a somewhat disappointed look, and glanced at Stallone behind Wang Xiaohu, who seemed a little speechless.

Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly and said, "Lao Wen, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry too much." ”

Stallone scratched his head a little embarrassed, it seemed that this matter must have something to do with him.

"Well, hopefully Mr. Sylvester won't be affected, Tiger, and it's because of your amazing behavior at the last time you auditioned for the cast of Enter the Dragon that the black actor you made on your list, Carl. Weathers refused to play the role of Apollo, the king of boxing. Winterdur was very cautious when he spoke, and the month-long cooperation made him know that Wang Xiaohu was definitely the master of everything, for fear that he would be irritable because of it.

Who knew that Wang Xiaohu just frowned, and asked lightly: "What about the other actors?" Boxing gym veteran coach Mickey plays the role of Bout. Jan, the cashier of the pet merchandise store, Talia. Charles, and slaughterhouse worker Bugess. What about Medis? ”

Paul Shearer is mainly responsible for the public relations tasks of the three actors, so he preemptively replied: "They have no problem, as long as the schedule and salary can be negotiated, they are very willing to play the role of Rocky." ”

Wang Xiaohu said as he walked: "OK! As long as the list of these three people is finalized, our drama can be filmed smoothly. ”

"If there is no boxing champion, how can we shoot the final duel between Rocky and Apollo?" Stallone is a little anxious at the moment, as the final perfecter of the script, he is very aware of the important role of the boxing champion Apollo in the film, and without the boxing champion, Rocky's tenacity cannot be brought out.

Wang Xiaohu stopped, looked at Stallone and smiled faintly: "Silvestre, your training volume in the future is going to increase. Weathers gave up a chance to become famous, then I'll find you a real boxer to fight! ”

"A real boxer?" Stallone's expression was still so wooden, and he couldn't catch Wang Xiaohu's words just now.

And Winterdur and Paul Sele are secretly speechless, this guy really dares to speak, what is it that people give up an opportunity to become famous without participating in the show! However, with the excellent performance of "Enter the Dragon", they are not easy to say anything, anyway, they think that this young man from the East sometimes speaks a little arrogant!

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I'm going to find you a real boxer, no one is more suitable than him!" Old Wen, I want to trouble you to help me find someone named Chuck. Wipner's boxer, he may still be nobody, but please help me find him! ”

No one knows the inspiration for "Rocky" better than Wang Xiaohu, when Stallone saw Mohammed in a motel in 1975. Ali & Chuck. After Wipna's famous boxing match, it took a week to create.

Chuck at the time. Before the fight, a reporter questioned whether Vipner could survive, and Wipner replied categorically: "I am a survivor in life, and if I can survive the Marine Corps, then Ali's fist is not to be feared." "Sylvester. Steer Stallone was so impressed by Wipner's bravery and tenacity that a week after the fight, he called Wipner to claim that the amazing fight would be made into a movie.

Chuck. Wipner is the prototype of Rocky! Just Chuck. The battle of the century between Wipner and Ali will take two years to take place, and with the prototype as the villain, I believe that Wipner will be happy with this opportunity to become famous.

"Alright! It's easy to do, you know, I'm a boxing fan! Winterdur patted his chest and said, "Tiger, to be honest, I'm curious about your script right now, and if, I said if I could, would I have a sneak peek?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said: "In fact, I still want you to be the producer for this filming, who made me the only friend in Hollywood!" ”

"Thank you for your trust! I'd love to help you. Winterdur showed great enthusiasm and opened the car door for Wang Xiaohu with a smile on his face.

Yes, although "Enter the Dragon" has not been released, he has great confidence in the film, and Wang Xiaohu has now begun to make films in Hollywood, which means that there is more room for their cooperation in the future, and he is now wishing for a more harmonious relationship with Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu and his entourage first went to Warner's editing room to check the post-processing work of the English version of "Enter the Dragon", after all, there is no one in Hollywood who knows how to make kung fu martial arts movements more beautiful and more attractive to the audience.

After all, how does the quality of the English version of "Enter the Dragon" affect the box office results, but he accounts for half of the box office revenue, how can he not be active.

After a busy afternoon, barely enjoying a Western meal, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi went to Los Angeles to play, you must know that Zhao Yazhi came this time purely to enjoy the fun of travel, under the guidance of Stallone himself, the two stopped at several major attractions in a hurry.

"Azhi, we're going to Philadelphia in a few days, and we'll have 20 days over there to take your time and fulfill your travel dreams." Wang Xiaohu hugged Zhao Yazhi a little apologetically and said softly.

Zhao Yazhi shook her head, looked at him with big empathetic eyes and said: "Actually, it's nothing, although it's only one afternoon, but I'm very happy, where to travel and how long to travel is not a problem, the key is whether to be with the person you like, I think it's enough!" ”

In contrast, she knows how to balance the weight of travel and her husband's career. Such a considerate wife made Wang Xiaohu cry out for happiness in his heart, where to find a good daughter-in-law like Azhi!

Wang Xiaohu was thinking about the progress of filming, and he had to take into account the release of "Enter the Dragon", so his stay in Los Angeles was not very long, and on December 12, he rushed to Philadelphia with Stallone, and the low-end boxer Chuck was also passed. Wipna.

Chuck. Wipner was very grateful to Wang Xiaohu for personally participating in the filming of the boxing genre, and on the plane to Philadelphia, he chattered: "Boss, where did you know my name, I just entered the boxing industry after retiring from the Marine Corps, and I am still in the training stage." ”

"It's simple, I feel like you have a decent potential." Wang Xiaohu took a small pill of sleeping pills, and said with a somewhat groggy brain: "I don't know how you were before, but you will become an excellent boxer in the future, you have to believe in your potential!" ”

"Chuck, believe the boss, you and I are both newcomers, if the boss doesn't appreciate it, I'm afraid I'm still worried about finding opportunities as actors!" The taciturn Syllegro said in vague words: "The boss is a very powerful kung fu master. ”

"Really? Is it even better than our instructors? Chuck asked suspiciously, the instructor he was talking about was naturally an instructor of the Marine Corps.

"If your instructor can knock someone two or three meters away with one punch."

"Of course he can! It's all a little trick for us. ”

Stallone sat across his seat and froze his fist on Chuck's chest: "What if I say so?" Bang, and you're flying two or three meters. ”

"Ugh!" Chuck's eyes widened, "Oh God, is the boss a monster, as far as I know, it's only Bruce. Lee can do that! ”

"In fact, the boss is Bruce. Lee's brother. Stallone replied nonchalantly.

"Damn, you didn't even tell me! I adore Bruce too much. Lee! ”

Philadelphia is the oldest and most historic city in the United States, the fourth-largest city in the United States, where the Declaration of Reading Power was drafted and signed, and where the First and Second Continental Congresses were held. The draft U.S. Constitution was also drafted and signed in Philadelphia, and it is also the birthplace of the American flag, with the passage of time and the development of industry, Philadelphia's important surname has gradually faded, when it does not stop it from becoming a tourist attraction, and countless tourists from all over the United States come to admire the birthplace of this country every year.

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, 1972, Wang Xiaohu rubbed his somewhat confused eyes and hugged Zhao Yazhi to step on this land, behind him were two newcomers who had no fame in Hollywood
