Lin Xi's "wild words" released at the press conference reached the ears of Bruce Lee, who was filming in the United States, the next day.

Over the years, Bruce Lee's status in the Hong Kong film industry has been unshakeable, and even he himself is accustomed to this feeling of "invincible in the world".

"Is that really the case?"

He asked the reporter repeatedly, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, he not only did not get angry, but laughed happily.

"That little guy named Lin Xi is a little interesting, he is really only sixteen years old this year?"

"He was sixteen years old last year, and he should be seventeen this year, right?" The reporter was a little puzzled by Bruce Lee's reaction, and even the tone of his answer became uncertain.

"Seventeen years old, what a nostalgic time!"

Bruce Lee was a little emotional, because he remembered his seventeen-year-old self, who was also as young and frivolous as Lin Xi, and always thought that he was the best in the world, and only after experiencing a lot of setbacks later did he realize that he was so naïve.

If it is also Lin Xi's luck, if Bruce Lee heard this five or six years earlier, it is estimated that he would really be annoyed with his temper, and the situation has been different in recent years, as his status is getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer opponents, Bruce Lee's former competitiveness has gradually turned into a loneliness of being alone and seeking defeat.

What's more, in Bruce Lee's eyes, it is impossible for Lin Xi at this time to pose any threat to him at all, it is like a tiger being provoked by a lion, it will be very angry, but if it is provoked by an ant, it may not even have the idea of taking care of it.

"In ten years' time, I hope that he will be able to stand in front of me and say such things with real strength, instead of just saying it with his mouth like now." This is Bruce Lee's final answer, not only is there no malice in his words, but there is even some taste of expectation.

It's a pity that after these words were transmitted back to Hong Kong, they were taken out of context by the media, and they also evolved into multiple versions.

Such as "Bruce Lee proudly said that no one can surpass him in ten years!" "Bruce Lee completely ignored the challenge, and the reporter interviewed him and laughed that he didn't know Lin Xi" and other reports appeared in the newspapers one after another, and for a while, all kinds of infamy such as arrogance and ignorance, deliberate hype, and ignorance of the sky and the height of the earth were all thrown at Lin Xi.

Bruce Lee, who was far away in the United States, did not know that his words were "misunderstood" by the Hong Kong media, and of course even if he knew, he would not come back to explain the matter.

For Bruce Lee, these are all inconsequential things that don't deserve his distraction at all.

But this incident caused Lin Xi a lot of trouble, he felt that his speech at the press conference was respectful enough for Bruce Lee, and he had made the problem very clear, and he did not intend to target the other party, but Bruce Lee's reaction made him a little disappointed - this is not at all an international kung fu superstar, a person who is idolized by many young people should have.

But no matter what, these words were always said by Bruce Lee "personally", although the words in the newspaper could not be fully believed, but Lin Xi believed that they still did not dare to make it up.

Because of such a misunderstanding, Lin Xi's attitude towards Bruce Lee has also quietly undergone some changes.

In the past, Lin Xi only saw Bruce Lee as a target that he wanted to surpass, but now he has really regarded Bruce Lee as an opponent to be defeated.

Lin Xi didn't tell anyone about this, because now except for himself, it is estimated that no one will believe that he can really defeat Bruce Lee, just like everyone is no longer optimistic about the ratings prospects of the TV series "Chu Liuxiang" after it is broadcast.

Even Qiu Degen, who had always firmly supported Lin Xi before, couldn't help but shake at this time.

In Qiu Degen's opinion, Lin Xi is indeed talented, but he is also too capable of causing trouble.

Before Lin Xi used Zheng Shaoqiu as the leading actor of the TV series, Qiu Degen could still convince himself that this was a strategy for Lin Xi to find another way to promote the TV series, but this turmoil has not subsided, and then he said at the press conference that he wants to surpass Bruce Lee.

What is Bruce Lee's status, what is your Lin Xi's status, what are you doing when you take the initiative to provoke this great god?

Now that he has been criticized by the media, he has not said anything, and even everyone's impression of "Chu Liuxiang" has become bad, Lin Xi's various practices are completely young and ignorant in Qiu Degen's opinion, and he loves to be in the limelight.

In addition, some people on Li's TV constantly made suggestions to Qiu Degen, so that Qiu Degen had to start to carefully consider whether to continue to broadcast "Chu Liuxiang" as ATV's opening drama.

"Although my approach has caused some controversy, it has not violated the previous agreement, and now Mr. Qiu has asked you to tell me this, which means that he wants to repent?" Lin Xi looked coldly at Xu Xiaoming, who was sent by Qiu Degen to negotiate with him, although he was annoyed in his heart, he could only hold back.

Xu Xiaoming actually didn't want to take on this errand, because he knew that Lin Xi had put too much effort into the TV series "Chu Liuxiang", and it was absolutely impossible to accept the result of the TV series being replaced, but Qiu Degen asked him to talk to Lin Xi by name, so he could only come hard.

"Uncle Gen just meant that I would discuss it with you, and he didn't say that "Chu Liuxiang" must be removed, but judging from the current form, it is true that public opinion from the outside world is very unfavorable to us."

"Mr. Xu, you have been watching this TV series since the beginning of filming, and you have also watched the last few edited episodes, there should be a judgment whether it is good or bad, such a TV series is broadcast, and the audience will never dislike it, and now withdraw this drama, it is you who will really lose!" Although Lin Xi's words were a reminder, anyone could hear that there was a fire in his heart.

Xu Xiaoming sighed helplessly.

"If I can call the shots, of course I will support the TV station to broadcast your drama, but you also know the current situation, I am just a person in charge of communication, and what you just mentioned, I told Uncle Gen before, and I can't help it if he can't listen to him."

Lin Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this.

"That's it, you help me sue Mr. Qiu, originally according to the contract, he should have bought the whole drama first and then took it to ATV for broadcast, but now that he has so many concerns, then we might as well change the way of cooperation, this drama will be broadcast to ATV first, if the ratings are really low, I don't want a penny, which means that this TV series will be directly given to ATV for nothing!"

Xu Xiaoming was stunned by Lin Xi's decision, and it took a long time before he reacted and said, "This ...... This isn't quite right, right? ”

Without waiting for Xu Xiaoming to finish speaking, Lin Xi directly interrupted and said, "There's nothing bad, aren't those people waiting to see my jokes?" Even if I don't make a penny, I'm going to give them a resounding slap in the face with this TV series! ”
