"What do you think?" Unique Durr came to the hotel where Bruce Lee was staying with a large pile of newspapers and asked: "Tiger, you made such a thing to make us very passive, the company's senior management is now very angry with the fancy news we made yesterday, which not only affects the cooperation between us, but also brings a lot of confusion to the company!" ”

"Confused?" Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly and said: "Lao Wen, as a producer, you can't lose confidence in our cooperation in the first place, you are a person who has read the script, you should know the situation of the script, if it is said that Warner Bros. is confused because of my appreciation of Stallone, I can only apologize and say that I am more disappointed than you!" ”

"But you're always going to have to come up with some counter-talk to restore our reputation!" Winterdur said excitedly. [Full text reading]

"I'm not interested in fighting back or anything." Wang Xiaohu waved his hand and said: "It's a serious matter to get the actors done quickly, I think there is nothing more convincing than the box office data for the film to be filmed and released!" "Wang Xiaohu is definitely a doer, and he prefers to speak with facts when faced with everyone's doubts.

"God, you made it impossible for me to explain to the outside world, that damn Italian stallion, I hate him now!" Winterdur sat down on the couch and muttered sullenly.

Bruce Lee also began to support his brother at this time, he clenched his fists, stared at Winterdur and said: "I think Xiaohu is right, he just expressed appreciation for an actor but attracted criticism, what does this mean, it shows that there is no real national equality in the United States, most Americans still have prejudice against us Chinese, only through the filmed film can all doubts be broken!" ”

"Forget it, let's leave these bad things to someone else, I'll supervise the actor audition now." Winterdur was now unable to answer the questions of the two brothers, so he had to find a reason for himself to leave.

"If nothing else, I'm going to New York for a walk these days." Wang Xiaohu said to Bruce Lee: "Go and visit my mentor Yu Zhanyuan."

"Okay, I'll ask Winterdur to get the cast list done as soon as possible and join you in New York, but will you be monotonous in the past, I really want to remember that you are a road idiot." Bruce Lee smiled and said, "Do you want Paul Shearer to accompany you, he has been a lecturer in New York." ”

"Of course, with Paul with you, the journey won't be too monotonous." Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "And don't forget to go to the hospital to test those drugs." ”

Wang Xiaohu said that a drug is naturally the thing called "nutritional products" recommended by Walt to Bruce Lee, and in addition to completing several major things in the United States this time, another thing is to test the main components of the drug.

"In fact, I had already arranged for someone to send the test yesterday, but the test results will have to wait a few days, and they will mail them to Hong Kong by letter." Bruce Lee sighed after speaking, although he knew the result very well in his heart, but he didn't want it to be true.

With the help of Paul Shearer, Wang Xiaohu found the place where his master Yu Zhanyuan lived, and the master and apprentice were naturally very cordial after they met.

With tears in his eyes, Yu Zhanyuan grabbed Wang Xiaohu's hand and said: "Good job, good job, several of your senior brothers have informed me about you, I am very happy and relieved that you can lead your senior brothers to achieve such results." ”

"Master, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to get married, you and your sister will settle in Hong Kong, now that our seven little blessings have grown up, we should be filial to your old man." Wang Xiaohu begged Yu Zhanyuan in an extremely sincere tone, Yu Zhanyuan was not very good when he left New York last year, this time he came to visit the master and found that his old life was still very bleak, although Americans are interested in Peking Opera, but because of the difference in language, their appreciation level is also limited, and now the master is old and can not continue to beg in a few theaters in Chinatown.

Yu Zhanyuan smiled slightly, patted Wang Xiaohu's head and said: "It's enough for you to have this heart, child, Hong Kong is now the world of movies, and drama has declined, hey, if I am served by you guys every day, I can't help it." ”

"Master's words?" Wang Xiaohu also sighed and said: "It's true that Hong Kong is the world of movies now, but after all, it is your home, Master, and when you are older, you have to return home to enjoy the blessings, and you have educated us for a few years, and we have to do our filial piety." ”

Wang Xiaohu knew that Yu Zhanyuan was afraid of dragging down Qixiaofu, and he knew that Yu Zhanyuan was also eager to return to Hong Kong, after all, who wanted to wander outside in his later years, so he rubbed hard and soft for a long time, and asked Yu Suhua to help persuade him, Yu Zhanyuan agreed, "Okay, okay, Master has agreed, you better hurry up, now is not the situation of the past, if you are found by outsiders, you still think that I am corporal punishment again." ”

"Hehe, if Master agrees, I'll get up." Wang Xiaohu got up from the ground with a smile, Yu Zhanyuan is his closest person in this era, if it were not for Yu Zhanyuan's strict education back then, Seven Little Blessings would not have been born, and the future of Hong Kong films would be lonely.

Wang Xiaohu stayed with the master in New York for a few days, told the old man about the changes that have taken place in Hong Kong in the past year or so, and showed him Zhao Yazhi's photos.

After hearing the news, Wang Xiaohu accompanied Yu Zhanyuan and Yu Suhua to watch the theaters in the Chinese area "Ip Man" and "Raptors Crossing the River" and "Righteous Heroes".

"Sanmao, Ah Long, Ah Biao, Ah Hua's stinky boys' performances are not bad, I can see that they are very taken care of by you, I remember that Sanmao also called me to cry about how hard it was on the set." Yu Zhanyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, telling Wang Xiaohu about Sammo Hung's troubles back then.

Wang Xiaohu said: "These are all good education, Master, you have suffered hardships in the past, and you are a master, and our apprentices naturally keep it in mind." ”

After watching "Ip Man", Yu Suhua, the senior sister of Seven Little Blessings, said with great emotion: "Ah Hu, the film you made is not bad, much better than what we shot at that time, the action is also good, and the story is good." ”

"Now the filming conditions are better than before, if my sister wants to film, when I return to Hong Kong, I will find someone to write a book to let my sister have a good time."

"People are old, they don't be!" Yu Suhua said with a smile: "Besides, it is not a long-term way for actresses to work hard in the film industry after all. When she said this, she couldn't help but shake her head self-deprecatingly, probably remembering the bitter past when she made films.

"Sooner or later, the status of actresses will be valued!" Wang Xiaohu knows what Yu Suhua wants to express, actresses are not very valued in the film industry, but at the beginning of Hong Kong movies, it was a time when actresses were dominant, Yu Suhua, Ren Jianhui, and Zheng Peipei used to be the leaders of that era, and in the future, actresses such as Hui Yinghong, Hu Huizhong, and Michelle Yeoh will support half of the sky in Hong Kong films, not to mention that under the leadership of new wave directors such as Tsui Hark, Anita Mui, Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung and other "martial arts" stars have been discovered.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohu tried to ask: "Senior sister, what I said is serious, why don't you return to the film industry after returning to Hong Kong this time and revive the sassy and heroic appearance of the actress!" ”

"Ah Hu, you really know how to laugh, I remember that the Shaw Brothers still have Zheng Peipei, her performance is not bad, why don't you go to her."

"Well, Zheng Peipei got married last year and quit the film industry." Wang Xiaohu sighed: "Our Concord Company doesn't have female artists yet, it's always good for my senior sister to go back and help me support the façade." ”

"I'll give you an answer when I get back and think about it." Yu Suhua was really a little moved

In the afternoon of the same day, Bruce Lee came to New York with the three main actors of "Enter the Dragon", accompanied by Stallone. There were two people when they came, seven or eight people when they went back, and when the group returned to Hong Kong, it caused a strong sensation.

Reporters from major media in Hong Kong rushed to the airport long after hearing the news and rushed to interview Bruce Lee about his feelings about his trip to the United States. Bruce Lee was interviewed here, and Wang Xiaohu supported Yu Zhanyuan, and secretly walked out of the airport surrounded by Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuan Biao. The master and apprentice have not seen each other for more than a year, so naturally they have a lot to say.

"Sylvester, you get used to the environment of Hong Kong these days, and if you get bored, go sightseeing at my school, of course, I hope you can read the script I gave you." Wang Xiaohu arranged for Stallone to live near the company, and then said: "There are still the rest of the scripts for you to improve, I believe in your ability." ”

The script framework of "Rocky" has been completed, and some details still need to be perfected by Stallone. Stallone, who is also a screenwriter, has shown considerable interest, and he has now become the first foreign artist signed by Concord, and he is particularly excited.

"Director, don't worry, I will like this oriental atmosphere, it turns out that Hong Kong is very different from what I imagined. I enjoy a cinematic atmosphere here that is even stronger than Hollywood, and I feel intoxicated. Stallone said with a smirk.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and began to call a meeting of the company's personnel, he wanted to check the results of these guys in the week after leaving Hong Kong.

"Brother Tiger, all the sets have been set up, the training of 200 dragon and tiger martial artists is almost complete, and all kinds of shooting, lighting and props have been transported to Lantau Island, we are waiting for you to watch and start filming!" Yuan Heping brought over with a pile of documents, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Not bad." After reading the documents, Wang Xiaohu said: "When I start filming as soon as my engagement is over, I can't wait more than you, because we are going to shoot a two-step film at the same time this time!" ”

"Two?" Yuan Heping stretched out two fingers and asked in surprise.
