director of the millennium

"Hey, kids grow up fast!"

Holding his little princess, Wu Yuan happily walked back and forth in the living room.

Next to him, Liu Yifei was following the yoga instruction on the TV screen, performing yoga moves methodically.

Hearing his words, she rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan in anger and said, "Ever since our daughter was born, you've been like a daughter slave, wishing you could hold her 24 hours a day."

"Hehehe." Wu Yuan was not ashamed, but proud. He kissed his daughter's smooth face, looked at her smiling face, and said lovingly: "My daughter, I should spoil her!"

"What a jerk!" Liu Yifei glanced at him, too lazy to say anything else, picked up the remote control, changed the disc, and started watching the Pilates video.

She is the one who works the hardest at home during this period. Although there is a confinement nanny to take care of the child, and there are professional nutritionists and postpartum nurses to help develop a physical recovery plan, the specific implementation must be done by herself.

Although she was in confinement after childbirth, apart from eating more exquisite food, she spent more time on shaping her body.

I won’t say that I sweat profusely during exercise every day, but it is indeed quite tiring.

In comparison, Wu Yuan was more relaxed.

Money can solve 99% of the worries. For ordinary families, the problems encountered by the baby, such as crying, waking up at night, changing diapers, etc., are all taken care of by the confinement nanny, while Wu Yuan only needs to enjoy the intimate time with his daughter, which makes him so happy that he doesn't know what to do.

Children do grow fast, and they change every day.

When it was just born, its skin was wrinkled and purple-red all over, like purple garlic. After a few days, it turned yellow all over, as if it was covered with a layer of yellow paint.

But after these two times, the little princess became pink and tender, her skin became smooth and shiny, soft and full of milky fragrance, which made Wu Yuan love her so much that he couldn't let her go.

Not to mention that the daughter inherited the excellent genes of both of them. Her little face is delicate and cute, which makes Wu Yuan's heart almost melt.

"How long do you plan to stay at home with us, mother and daughter?"

"Don't you have a new movie to start shooting, and try to finish it within this year?"

“It’s almost September!”

Facing his wife's complaints, Wu Yuan was indifferent. He was still acting as a human rocking car, holding his daughter and rocking non-stop. He casually said, "No hurry, the preparatory work in Los Angeles has been completed, and the actors are almost gathered."

"Now the assistant director is helping them get familiar with the scenes and study the script."

"It will be in time for me to start the machine next week."

"Hey, Sissi, do you think we should have another child?"

"The house is so big, it's still a bit too empty with only one child."

Grass!
That's not what you said before!

The veins on Liu Yifei's forehead were throbbing, and she had the urge to punch Wu Yuan in the face!

"Give birth to shit!"

"Mitsuo already took half my life with this one, and you want to do it again?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Liu Yifei, who had received quality education from her mother since she was a child, naturally could not say any dirty words. "Give birth to a fart" was already the dirtiest swear word to her, but when Wu Yuan heard it, it didn't hurt at all.

He shrugged his shoulders, not daring to provoke his angry wife. After letting the confinement nanny hold his daughter, he obediently walked into the study.

There is nothing wrong with his wife's concern. In the past month, he has been focusing on his wife and children, and he really hasn't paid much attention to the Bruce Lee crew on the other side of the ocean.

Family is important, but you can’t slack off on your career either.

"Bruce Lee" can be said to be his most important movie in recent years. After all, he probably won't make any more movies in the next two or three years. This movie can be regarded as his "final work" in the short term.

No matter what, there must be a satisfactory result and no mistakes can be made.

Wu Yuan returned to his study and made a phone call to North America. It was morning in Los Angeles.

"John, how is the crew, is everything going well..."

"We need to get in touch with the martial arts school..."

A week later.

With reluctance to leave, Wu Yuan said goodbye to his wife and children who came to see him off, gave his daughter's smooth and elastic face a big kiss, and boarded the flight to Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles.

The crew of "Bruce Lee" was already in place a week ago.

Chen Guokun even arrived in Los Angeles half a month ago to prepare.

As early as when he got the script, he was trying to figure out the content of the role.

Unlike his previous film "The Legend of Bruce Lee", Wu Yuan's film version focuses more on Bruce Lee's experience in Hollywood.

From the very beginning, when he arrived at 20th Century Fox Film Studio in Hollywood, Los Angeles, auditioned for "Charlie Chan's Eldest Son", and officially signed an actor contract with 20th Century Fox Film Studio in Hollywood, he faced all kinds of discrimination and difficulties.

Later, he made his mark in Hollywood as a kung fu star, with many of his scenes taking place in Los Angeles.

Chen Guokun is both familiar and unfamiliar with Los Angeles.

The reason why it is familiar is that this is the world's film capital and there is no actor who doesn't know it.

He felt unfamiliar because he had never been to Los Angeles. To be more precise, he had never been to Hollywood to film a movie. Everything here was new to him.

The main reason is that Bruce Lee’s own experience is also legendary.

Although when people talk about him, everyone says that he is the first famous kung fu superstar in Hollywood.

But being famous in Hollywood doesn't mean he has acted in many Hollywood movies.

In fact, he only starred in a Hollywood blockbuster once, and this time it became his last work, the famous "Enter the Dragon".

Although his films "Fist of Fury" and "Enter the Dragon" and "Game of Death", which he wrote, directed and acted in, performed well at the Hollywood box office and are even well-known around the world, these four films were not produced in Hollywood but by Hong Kong's Golden Harvest Films.

This is why it is said that the reason why Hong Kong Island was able to compete with Hollywood in the world in the last century was all thanks to Bruce Lee!
He and Warner had only collaborated on Enter the Dragon, and this movie was the first and last Hollywood blockbuster in which he starred.

Therefore, most of the Bruce Lee played by Chen Guokun before were in Hong Kong Island, and he had never performed in Los Angeles.

It took Chen Guokun nearly half a month to visit all the places where Bruce Lee once lived and filmed in Los Angeles. Although things and people have changed a lot, it still touched him a lot and made him understand the script more deeply.

Just as he was preparing, the chief director Wu Yuan, who had been waiting for Bruce Lee for a month, finally arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. (End of this chapter)
