If Bruce Lee is only satisfied with starring in Hollywood films, then his life will not be more dazzling and dazzling, in Wang Xiaohu's memory, "Enter the Dragon" is the first time that Hong Kong and Hollywood try to co-produce a movie, the filming process is very difficult, the difference between Chinese and Western film and television systems, cultural surprise and imperfect conception of the script, make this film seem to be full of disasters, and there were once rumors of Bruce Lee's disobedience to the director, playing big names and other incidents. 【】

These are not Wang Xiaohu's concerns, for him, the start of filming of "Enter the Dragon" means that Bruce Lee's life will enter the final countdown stage, because Bruce Lee had at least seven headache attacks during the filming process, and even fainted to the ground once.

Bruce Lee's surname was also very unstable during the shooting, and he was extremely rude to the American staff, but he was relatively friendly to many Chinese personnel. made all the people who participated in the filming miserable, they couldn't face the moody Bruce Lee, causing Bruce Lee's capricious surname, the reason is very likely to be caused by his frequent outbreaks of headaches and mania in the later period, but it is also very likely that he hated Warner's repeated deception of him in the early years.

And the worst thing is that when this film was released in the United States on August 17, 73, Bruce Lee had already passed away! So Wang Xiaohu has a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart for this film! To put it bluntly, Wang Xiaohu would rather not shoot this film, but he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, he could not stop Bruce Lee's pace and determination to enter Hollywood, so he had to change his thinking in a very short period of time, so that Bruce Lee's image would expand and he would get more profits!

"Oh? Do you have a better way? I'm talking about how to get Warner to vomit blood. Bruce Lee rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm very interested in this." ”

"I want to know what Hollywood says?"

Bruce Lee thought for a moment and said, "It's Fred who called me. Winterdur, who you may not know him, worked as a manager at a nightclub in New York before joining Warners as vice president of creative and as a producer of such acclaimed films as "Concert Fausto" and "Detective Captures Criminals." ”

"Ugh." Wang Xiaohu pouted, he was really unfamiliar with this name, but there was such a very enthusiastic guy in "The Legend of Bruce Lee", he should be Fred. The prototype of Winterdur. "Go on."

"Winterdür has a personal relationship with me, yes, he said something after watching my TV series in Hollywood: I want all future thrillers to have hand-to-hand combat like martial arts fighting, which is much more exciting than a gun sweep." Bruce Lee said with some smugness: "Yes, he's a very interesting guy. ”

Wang Xiaohu nodded, these are all normal things, now Bruce Lee is already in a mess in Asia, if those Yankees don't wake up, they can jump off the building. "Brother Xiaolong, let's talk about the point, I want to know their specific requirements."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't calm down when I think of how many times Warner cheated on me. Okay, let's get to the point, Winterdur said there was a script that suited me well, certainly not Stephen's "Silent Flute" last time, and I hated the guy who teased me! Bruce Lee said angrily, but soon he saw Wang Xiaohu frowning, and laughed again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this time I promise to say the point!" ”

"Winterdur called twice today, and he told me that the president of Warner Bros. had approved his proposal and wanted to come up with $100,000 to invite me to star in a Chinese kung fu movie with American characteristics.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's all, right?" ”

"Yes, that's all."

Wang Xiaohu's face suddenly became serious when he heard this, he took a sip of coffee and said: "Brother Xiaolong, have you seriously thought about it, you are not only a professional actor now, you are also the boss of Concord Film Company, and now they have a request for you, why don't you cooperate with Warner Company in the name of Concord Company?" ”

Bruce Lee's brows tightened, but his heart began to get a little excited, and he said uncertainly: "You mean, we work with Warner?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Xiaohu put the coffee on the table and said: "In this way, when the film is successful, not only will you become famous in Hollywood, but our Concord Company will also be famous." What's more, your profit is not only $100,000, but you can also get a proportional share of the box office! Brother Xiaolong, what do you think of this suggestion? ”

"Hey! How could I not have thought of it! Linda was also a little excited, she spread her hands and said: "Bruce, I think Tiger is right, Concord is definitely qualified to be on an equal footing with Hollywood now!" ”

"Yes, I know, dear, I know very well, oh God, we've got a chance to negotiate with Hollywood, and it's so exciting!" Bruce Lee's voice trembled a little, and his whole person was immersed in great excitement: "Xiaohu, what do you say we are going to do?" ”

Wang Xiaohu muttered: "At present, we have dissociated ourselves from Golden Harvest, and our company needs to make a name for itself in the international arena, and at the same time replace Golden Harvest's previous distribution channels in Europe and the United States and other countries." I think the first thing to do is to take advantage of Warner Bros.'s status in the international film industry, and ask them to release our company's "Raptors Crossing the River", "Righteous Heroes on the Beach" and "Ip Man" in Europe and the United States and other countries first, so that our "Enter the Dragon" will also give European and American audiences a general impression of the company when it is released. ”

"Yes, our three films have not yet been shown in Europe and the United States, and this is definitely a good opportunity!" Bruce Lee clenched his fists and was excited for a while before asking, "And then?" And then how do we do it? ”

"Tell Winterdur that this is just our first request, and I'm sure that with your charm Brother Xiaolong, you will be moved to agree to it." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "The second one may be a little difficult, we will determine the script, and there must be Hong Kong actors to participate in the filming, and the filming location must be Hong Kong!" ”

"Huh? This seems difficult for Americans to accept. Bruce Lee realized what he meant, after all, Bruce Lee had worked hard in Hollywood for many years, and he deeply knew the style of the Americans "God is the boss, I am the second", so it is conceivable that it is difficult for a group of Americans to come to Hong Kong to shoot.

"Hehe, if they don't agree to the second one, I'm afraid the third one will be even more difficult to agree." Wang Xiaohu laughed, in his previous life, these negotiated projects were all implemented in black and white, and they have all become a reality, he knows that Warner Bros. will definitely agree.

In Bruce Lee's frowning brows, Wang Xiaohu said the third requirement: "We have to personally select the American actors, don't appear in the film, and before the film is released, all American actors must cooperate with us to promote and build momentum." ”

"Fourth, after editing the negatives, the post-production of the English version will be completed by Warner, and the Chinese version will be handled by our Concord Company, and the box office revenue will be divided according to two versions, the standard is: five or five accounts!"

"Oh hell! Brother, are you crazy, they won't agree! Bruce Lee grabbed his hair, he felt that his brother was going crazy, if the third one can still be discussed, then this fourth one is tantamount to a fantasy, a fool's dream!

How do you know that Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Why don't you agree, do you think that we, Concord, as one of the investors, can't enjoy these won benefits?" ”

"Huh? Winterdur said that all investments are in charge of Warners. ”

"Ha, then let him go to hell, Brother Xiaolong, you tell him that now Hollywood's big studios such as MGM, Columbia, United States, etc., are also contacting you about shooting new films, and the conditions offered are more lucrative than Warner, if you say so, I believe those guys from Warner will agree!" Wang Xiaohu added another fire: "You know, we have a script in our hands, a script!" Brother Xiaolong, if you throw the box office records of our company's three films to them, I believe that both Warner and MGM will agree! ”

"I feel like you're going crazy!" Bruce Lee spat out and got up from the couch and said, "Well, I'll tell Winterdur all these requests, but I don't promise he will agree." ”

"Brother Xiaolong, don't be so unconfident, now that we are famous, there are a lot of opportunities to enter Hollywood in front of us, what is a Warner, calm down and think about it, what I said is definitely a huge benefit to our company."

After Wang Xiaohu said this, he also got up from the sofa, stretched his waist and said, "Ah, it's so cool today, Brother Xiaolong, you think about it slowly, I need to go back to sleep, and I will go to Ah Zhi's house tomorrow night as a guest, hehe." ”

"Well, good luck!" Bruce Lee tilted his head and said.

Linda sent Wang Xiaohu out of the door, and when she passed the small red wooden bridge, she said, "Tiger, thank you for helping Bruce again." ”

"Linda, as I said, Brother Xiaolong and I are brothers on the same line, and while I help him, I am also helping me." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Linda, does Brother Xiaolong still have a headache recently?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be that often anymore."

"And does he still take a lot of drugs?"

"Take it, but in smaller quantities." After Linda finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Tiger, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm just asking." Wang Xiaohu smiled mysteriously after speaking, hummed a little song and left
