084 Set up Brother Long
On the first day of the New Year, the two Yuan Heping brothers took the initiative to find Wang Xiaohu, and Mao Sui recommended himself to send it to the door, Wang Xiaohu of course was unceremoniously accepted under the account, don't be deceived by the embarrassed expression he just shown, in fact, he is secretly happy in his heart.
With Yuan Heping's brothers joining, Wang Xiaohu's behind-the-scenes team has been strengthened, he stood on the second floor and leaned on the stairs to look at the happy brothers and sisters who were making trouble in the living room, thinking that half of this group of people would dominate the Hong Kong film industry in the future, he snickered for no reason, who would have thought that these people were trained by themselves?
Hong Kong's New Year is not much different from that of the mainland, at least that's what Wang Xiaohu thinks. From the first to the fifth day of the new year, they are reunited at their own homes, and on the sixth day of the new year, it is the day of "sending gods", and each family burns the paper horses sent by the God of Wealth on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the shops are also open.
In the past few days, Wang Xiaohu has spent most of his time at home perfecting the script and action design of "Raptors Crossing the River" and "Righteous Heroes Bravely Entering the Beach" at home, and when he is tired of writing, he will practice Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do, or he will directly meditate cross-legged for meditation, which he learned from Bruce Lee, although Bruce Lee is very repulsive to internal strength, but he uses another scientific method to stimulate the potential in the body, so he created a method called "biological cultivation system" Inner Strength Mental Method".
At first, Wang Xiaohu didn't take this simple gadget in his eyes, but after training according to the requirements recently, he found that although this set of things seems simple, it can effectively relax his mental system and allow him to have better control over the muscles in various parts of his body. As Bruce Lee has said many times: "This system can effectively increase your spiritual strength, and it will make you create miracles." ”
After a week of practice, Wang Xiaohu finally understood what this cultivation system was about, to put it bluntly, this was the leftover stuff played by the Chinese ancestors, and he wanted to tell Bruce Lee that there are more esoteric cultivation methods in Chinese Qigong or Neijiaquan. However, this idea was quickly nipped in the bud by him, because he knew that Bruce Lee was a surreal person, and if any kung fu could not see the effect immediately, he would simply abandon it and never study it again, but the kind of kung fu that can be practiced in a short period of time will be like a treasure to him, for example, when he learned Wing Chun, didn't he see the actual combat of this kung fu?
Doesn't Wing Chun have internal strength? In fact, this is not the case, Wang Xiaohu once heard Bruce Lee personally say that he also devoted himself to cultivation in Hong Kong in the early days, but he couldn't see the effect after practicing for a few weeks, but it was not as simple as the outer kung fu. Especially when he was studying in the United States, after seeing the miraculous effect of equipment training on body shaping, he was no longer interested in this slow internal boxing method, and began to rely excessively on equipment to improve physical fitness.
However, it does not mean that this "biological cultivation system" is useless, at least it can allow a beginner to quickly relax his body, cultivate the ability of nervous tissue and muscle integration, and improve his sense of superiority and self-confidence.
"Hey, it's a bit of a reversal!" Wang Xiaohu sighed with emotion.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Bruce Lee's family finally returned, Linda invited Wang Xiaohu to her home as a guest, and unexpectedly received a red envelope from Bruce Lee. Wang Xiaohu opened it and looked, okay, there were 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. That's not all, Bruce Lee took out a lot of food from the car, what rice cakes, golden oil horns, fried piles, egg scatters and the like, there are a lot of bags.
Bruce Lee put the things on the table and laughed, patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "Hey Xiaohu, this is what I am currently asking me to give you, her old man knows that you are alone, so she specially asked me to bring it to share the New Year's celebration with you." ”
Wang Xiaohu was slightly moved after being silent, if it was an ordinary festival, it would be just a matter of being able to mix with his brothers and sisters, and he would be alone during the Spring Festival, and he didn't even know who his parents were in this life, what a fucking pitiful!
Wang Xiaohu's mood was a little complicated, but he said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, say hello to her old man for me." ”
Wang Xiaohu gave Li Guohao and Li Xiangning two more red envelopes, and in the children's thanks, he was invited into the study by Bruce Lee.
"Show me your finished script." Bruce Lee picked up the pair of old-fashioned myopic glasses from the desk and put them on, and through the thick lenses, he showed an impatient expression and said: "During the Chinese New Year in my hometown, I have been thinking about whether you have completed the script, and I said to myself, if you have not completed the script creation, I don't mind increasing the daily combat training to seven!" ”
"Seven times?" Wang Xiaohu listened on the side, his mouth was a little bitter, he hadn't forgotten how he survived that week, not to mention the pain all over his body, and he had to accept Bruce Lee's mental stimulation, it was simply a nightmare.
"I'm glad I'm done." Wang Xiaohu muttered in a low voice, handed the script to Bruce Lee and said, "I only finished one copy, and you need to translate the English version yourself." ”
"OK, no problem." After Bruce Lee finished speaking, he buried his head in reading the script, and after a long time, he took off his glasses, rubbed his somewhat sore eyes and said, "Xiaohu, how did you come up with the idea of letting that guy from Loris make a cameo appearance?" ”
How did you think of it, hehe, it's not what you thought of yourself, not to mention that the two of you are still teachers and friends. Wang Xiaohu was stunned, and said in his heart, aren't you forcing me to lie, so he said: "I heard you talk about the character of Loris a while ago, I heard that he is a seven-time karate champion in the United States, and he was selected for the Black Belt Hall in 1968 and won the trophy of the ring, so I think if you let this kind of person with a lot of background make a cameo in the opposite role, and then you have a good fight in the Roman arena, and if you win in the end, it will definitely make the audience addicted!" ”
Bruce Lee clapped his hands and praised when he heard this: "Good idea." Then he couldn't wait to pick up the phone and call, and after a minute or so, he answered the phone at Lorres's house: "Hi old Chuck friend, are you okay, I'm Bruce. Lee's thing, I'm going to shoot a film, and I feel like only you can play one of the characters, so I want to invite you to fly from the United States to Hong Kong, please rest assured, this role is absolutely amazing, just like you in reality, you will like this role, oh, great, just like that, I'm waiting in Hong Kong! ”
Bruce Lee hung up the phone and looked at Wang Xiaohu with a smile and said, "Okay, it's done, Chuck promised to come back to Hong Kong in two weeks." Let's break down some more scripts and see which famous actors need to be invited. ”
Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he did not revise the script of "Raptors Crossing the River" too much, basically maintaining the original flavor in his memory in his previous life, this is the first movie written, directed and acted by Bruce Lee, and it is also his favorite one, so if you like it, respect it, except for a few waiters in the hotel who have been replaced by Yuan Biao and Yuan Hua, the other actors have not changed.
And Wang Xiaohu did not play any role in this film, he knew that as long as the script of this film was released, he only needed to design the most classic scene of the ending between Bruce Lee and Luo Lishi, and the rest would be handled by Bruce Lee.
It's not that Wang Xiaohu wants to be lazy, but he doesn't want to waste too much time, he needs to take the opportunity to shoot another film, a film starring himself and A Zhi as the female lead.
This was Wang Xiaohu's little abacus, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Bruce, I need to talk to you about something important." ”
"Well, you say."
Wang Xiaohu paused and said: "Our Concord will be established in a few days, as a new film production company, we should come up with more films as soon as possible to occupy the market, win the audience and the box office." ”
Bruce Lee looked at him and said, "You're right, that's the case, we need to make a name for ourselves." ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded and rubbed his hands and said, "I have a plan, I want to start filming two films at the same time from the end of the month, how do you feel?" ”
Bruce Lee glanced at Wang Xiaohu with some surprise, thought about it and said: "Xiaohu, I understand what you mean, but doing so will cause the company a lot of financial difficulties, and I don't have much energy to deal with the two dramas, which will greatly reduce the quality of my films." ”
Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood. I mean you're going to direct and star in Raptors, and I'm going to take another cast to shoot another film. ”
The expression on Bruce Lee's face instantly became richer, first surprised, then puzzled, and then frowned, "Xiaohu, you're not joking, are you?" You mean, you're going to make a movie too? ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded vigorously, and said leisurely: "Yes, I suddenly felt very unhappy that you stole the limelight alone, so I came up with this idea, why don't we have a game and see who has good results." ”
Bruce Lee asked curiously: "Are you sure you're not joking?" ”
"Of course." Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and said, "I am fully prepared. ”
"Very good, since you are so confident, I can't beat your confidence, but I want to remind you that the company's investment in this drama will not exceed 100,000 Hong Kong dollars." Bruce Lee said very seriously.
"Ugh!" Before you become a CEO, put on the posture of a CEO, despise you!
Wang Xiaohu hummed and said: "Don't worry, compared to your "Raptors Crossing the River", my drama is definitely super low-cost!" ”
"What is the criterion for winning or losing?" Bruce Lee suddenly asked curiously.
"Hehe, the number of our investments and the fame of the actors are not on the same starting line, so we can't take the box office as the standard."
"So what's going on!"
The corners of Wang Xiaohu's mouth curled slightly, and he said a little insidiously: "It's very simple, based on the ratio of investment and income, if I invest less, the cost is low, and the proportion of box office revenue is higher than yours, then I win, and vice versa, you win." ”
