The big event that Wang Xiaohu said in his mouth is not a real big event in history, but a big event relative to Bruce Lee. 【Reading.com】

When Ip Man died, Bruce Lee did not participate in the funeral, so rumors arose, saying that Bruce Lee forgot his ancestors, and when he became famous, he would not recognize his master, and it was the founder of Jeet Kune Do who looked down on ......Wing Chun, in short, it was hard to hear, all of which pushed Bruce Lee to the forefront for a while, and the media and martial arts people regarded it as a great rebel and unfilial person, and it became the biggest public case in early 73.

Through Wang Xiaohu's multi-party statistics, it was found that this was not the case at all. The reason is that Bruce Lee hardly reads Chinese newspapers, so he cannot know the news of Ip Man's death and obituary. In Wing Chun Gate, there was only a one-line contact between Wong Chun Leung and Bruce Lee, but in that special period, Wong Chun Leung did not find Bruce Lee for three days and two nights, so he had to give up. It is said that Ye Zhun also has Bruce Lee's phone and wants to call Bruce Lee, but was stopped by others, which is very suspicious, why not notify it? No one knows the answer.

Since Wang Xiaohu understands the reason for this public case, he naturally will not let Bruce Lee be pointed at by thousands of people and spit on by thousands of people, and he will not let the idol have the slightest stain on him.

Just as the two were about to get into the car, Linda hurriedly ran out: "Bruce, Senior Brother Huang called and said Master him"

Bruce Lee nodded and said, "I know, I'll go now." ”

After the car started, Bruce Lee sighed heavily and said, "Thank you, Xiaohu, if it weren't for the embarrassing situation between me and Master half a year ago, I wouldn't have the face to participate in Master's funeral today." ”

"Ip Man" is an opportunity, not only to fulfill Ip Man's desire to devote himself to Wing Chun in his later years, but also to become an opportunity for the master and apprentice to resolve the knot, which is something that Wang Xiaohu thought of when he was preparing "Ip Man". For Wang Xiaohu's good intentions, Bruce Lee expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

The car stopped at the entrance of Lida Street, the wreath was placed from the street to the old house of the Ye family, and there were all kinds of people who came to mourn on the street, and there were more media reporters guarding the door to video, and when they saw the dragon and tiger walking in white, the reporters came around to interview, but they were stopped by the disciples of Wing Chun Sect that Huang Chunliang had already arranged.

"Come in, everyone is waiting for you." Liang Ting saw the two of them coming together, and his face showed a look of relief.

The hall is full of white striped cloth hanging, a dark gray coffin stopped in the middle of the hall, and the whole courtyard is not playing mournful music, it is the theme song "Little Thoughts" of "Ip Man" jointly created by Wang Xiaohu and Gu Jiahui, the low and uplifting tune seems so incompatible with the whole funeral.

"It's good to come, it's good to come!" Huang Chunliang saw that the two finally arrived, the boulder hanging in his heart finally fell, someone had already sent a white linen clothes, the two did not hesitate to quickly put on, Bruce Lee in front, Wang Xiaohu knelt neatly in front of the coffin, knocked three times, Huang Chunliang and Deng Sheng picked up the two respectively.

Huang Chunliang's eyes were red and swollen, and he said hoarsely: "When Master went, he was talking to a few of us about his past, saying that he was sorry for Yongcheng and Shaohua, and suddenly laughed when he talked about Xiaohu's "Ip Man", and then he walked very peacefully, and when he was dying, he said that he should not put some sadness and music after leaving, just put "Little Thoughts". Master liked this song very much, and I listened to it for the last few days. ”

Ip Man has two sorry people, one is his wife Zhang Yongcheng, Shaohua is his illegitimate son Ye Shaohua, who was born to a Shanghai woman when Ip Man was depressed, and that time was the darkest period of Ip Man's life.

"Why didn't you notify me in advance." Wang Xiaohu couldn't cry anymore after hearing this.

Huang Chunliang sighed and said, "Master knows that the two of you are busy with work, and there was no sign when he went. ”

Yes, I only knew that Ip Man died at the beginning of the month, but I didn't know when he would die, I wanted to come over to see the old man off for the last time, and I was worried that Wing Chun would not notify Bruce Lee

Wang Xiaohu walked to the coffin and looked at Ip Man who was lying quietly, a generation of grandmasters had a kind face and a faint smile, just as Huang Chunliang said: Walking very peacefully.

"Senior Brother Ye Zhun, mourn." After Wang Xiaohu comforted Ye Zhun, he stood aside.

Ip Man has been apprenticed to martial arts all his life, he is low-key and humble, and has made great contributions to the Hong Kong martial arts community, and there is an endless stream of people who come to mourn, Wang Xiaohu knelt in linen and filial piety among the Wing Chun disciples one by one to kowtow and answer, and after the hour, he and Bruce Lee, Huang Chunliang, Deng Sheng, Liang Ting and other six people reasonably lifted Ip Man's coffin and slowly walked out of the hall

The next day, Hong Kong newspapers rushed to report the news of Ip Man's death, and the most cited photo was the one in which the dragon and tiger carried the coffin, this time the media did not slander Bruce Lee like the previous life, but praised him, saying that he was famous and did not forget the teacher's kindness, etc., Jin Yong also published a commentary article in "Ming Pao" to speak highly of Ip Man's life.

"Brother Xiaolong, I want the theater below to play "Ip Man" for free for three consecutive days." After coming out of the deep pain, Wang Xiaohu said this to Bruce Lee.

"Broadcast it." Bruce Lee agreed to this suggestion without thinking: "It's always good to let everyone know more about Master's life." ”

So Wang Xiaohu stopped the editing of "Enter the Dragon" and repackaged "Ip Man", and on the basis of the original "Ip Man", added a lot of pictures of Ip Man's practice and life shot at the beginning, as well as a documentary about Ip Man interviewed Hong Kong martial arts colleagues, Wong Chun-leung and other Wing Chun disciples at that time.

After doing this, Wang Xiaohu found that as an enhanced version of the recombination, the whole film of "Ip Man" at this time was 150 minutes long, and after careful consideration, he stripped it from the feature film of "Ip Man" and re-edited the documentary into a reading monolith, so a 30-minute "The Grandmaster: The Life of Ip Man" was born.

A total of 12 theaters under Concord will push off all the film contracts within three days, and play these two films in a unified manner, because the film is completely free, the attendance rate is extremely high, most of the Hong Kong citizens are approaching the cinema to remember the legendary Ip Man, and the nostalgia of the two of them for Ip Man has also become a topic of conversation among the citizens after tea and dinner at that time.

It was mid-December when the finishing of "Enter the Dragon" ended, and Wang Xiaohu handed over all the work at hand to other employees of the company and began to prepare for the filming of "Rocky" in the United States.

Tomorrow is about to leave, Zhao Yazhi is excitedly packing her luggage, Wang Xiaohu sat in the living room of his home and said to Bruce Lee, who was a guest: "Senior Brother Yan, I'm afraid there are not many times left, you don't have any major events in the near future, just go and take a look, according to your relationship with Senior Brother Yan, you should carry his coffin." ”

"I already know about it." Bruce Lee didn't ask Wang Xiaohu how he knew the news this time, because he knew that even if he asked, Wang Xiaohu would answer with the absurd reason of Zhou Gongtuo's dream.

Among Bruce Lee's friends, Li Junjiu has the deepest relationship with him, and the next one should be Yan Jinghai. Yan Jinghai practiced weightlifting when he was young, and Bruce Lee was still thin and very row when he came to the United States, so Yan Jinghai improved the weightlifting method, which became a very important part of Bruce Lee's muscle fitness, plus Bruce Lee himself also read a lot of books on physiology, kinesiology, anatomy, nutrition, etc., including some practice methods in the bodybuilding industry at that time, and his body became stronger.

And Yan Jinghai also served as Bruce Lee's bodyguard in the United States, when Bruce Lee challenged everywhere and was not in the martial arts hall, there would be many hooligans and scoundrels who would come to the gym to make trouble, at this time, as long as Yan Jinghai was there, he would not hesitate to stand up and fight for the division.

In 1964, Bruce Lee got the opportunity to perform on the Long Beach, all thanks to Yan Jinghai running around. Bruce Lee's newlywed lived in Yan Jinghai's house. Yan Jinghai exhausted his family wealth for Bruce Lee's career, and in order to take care of Bruce Lee's wife and his seriously ill wife, he had to work as a boring welder again. When Bruce Lee was filming outside, Linda was going to give birth, and it was Yan Jinghai who received a call and drove Linda to the hospital. Bruce Lee moved to the United States to find a house, and Yan Jinghai also helped.

So Wang Xiaohu said that it was not an exaggeration to let Bruce Lee carry the coffin, and Bruce Lee nodded and acquiesced when he heard it, and then fell into a long silence.

Wang Xiaohu's mood was not very good, sitting on the sofa and frowning, December was not a good month for him, because the two elders closest to Bruce Lee were at the beginning of the month, and the other left at the end of the month.

Judging from the current observation, Bruce Lee's heart has been greatly stimulated, he has been sullen for a long time, rarely speaking, frowning and thinking about things, as for what he is thinking, no one knows, even Linda.

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and got up from the sofa and was about to go upstairs to rest, not wanting the doorbell to ring at this time, frowning and saying in his heart Who would come to visit him so late.

There was a black car parked in front of the door, Wang Xiaohu opened the door and saw a familiar person, it was Wang Hongxing who raised a knife to himself in the hospital, he saw Wang Xiaohu come out and stepped back for no reason, and said respectfully: "Master Hu, Uncle Zhong is waiting for you in the car." ”

Wang Xiaohu got into the car with a sigh, Shen Zhong waited for him to sit down, asked the driver to drive the car to a secluded place, and then asked the driver to get out of the car, and then said to Wang Xiaohu: "Old man Ye went ahead of me, I have seen everything you have done, I am very sorry to accept an apprentice like you." ”

"Uncle Zhong came over tonight and talked about it?" Wang Xiaohu felt very strange, these were all things he should do, and there was no intention of doing them for anyone to see.

"Of course not, I'm here to tell you a secret today." Shen Zhong looked at Wang Xiaohu and said word by word: "That brother of yours, Bruce Lee, has taken a few packets of marijuana from our hall in the past few days."
