new kung fu king

Chapter 11 Hello, Brother Xiaolong!

"Brother Tangshan" is the first movie of the famous superstar Bruce Lee after he returned to Hong Kong from the United States. The story is based on the life story of Zheng Chaoan, an overseas Chinese worker in Thailand, and then adapted.

Wang Xiaohu has watched this movie dozens of times. The plot is surprisingly simple and entertaining. It is enough to appreciate real kung fu movies. I don’t know how many Hong Kong martial arts movies have been made, but it can make people enjoy watching. Not many are remembered and praised.

Wang Xiaohu still remembers that before Bruce Lee left the United States and returned to Hong Kong to attend the premiere, he once told the American "Martial Arts Star" magazine: ""Big Brother Tangshan" is a very important movie to me, because it is my first movie. (except for the childhood movies). I think I did a better job than I did in The Green Hornet, and since I just did Blind Dog for Paramount, I'm even better. I have full confidence. I don't expect "Big Brother Tangshan" to break any records, but I do hope it will be well received and sold well."

In the hearts of many Americans at the time, Bruce Lee's remarks were definitely very arrogant, and even had a taste of self-deception. Some media once responded by saying: Even if you hold American nationality, you are still Chinese in your bones. This is the United States. The Chinese only have the status of gamblers and drug addicts in Hollywood, so go back to your China and develop.Bruce Lee didn't make any more useless counterattacks, but responded to the reporter more forcefully with practical actions.

"Ah Hu, don't be dazed. The audience has already entered the set. We will not only protect Boss Zou, but also be a cameo to maintain the order of the set." Sammo Hung brought Wang Xiaohu, who was in memory, back to reality.

It was only then that Wang Xiaohu realized the era he was in now. After shrugging his shoulders with some self-deprecation, he acquiesced to this identity. He had long heard that the dragon and tiger warriors not only acted as a part-timer, but also sometimes asked for protection money when encountering gangsters on the set. , but also act as a security guard, or even a thug.

The audience arrived one after another, and the film began to play. The first half hour of "Big Brother Tangshan" was very depressing. Wang Xiaohu could vaguely hear the voices of the audience discussing the plot in their seats. The protagonist is a wimp or something.Wang Xiaohu smiled inwardly. If such a plot were replaced by a novel and published on the site, this novel would definitely be scolded by readers.However, in Hong Kong in the 70s when there was a lack of entertainment items, movies were the most popular entertainment consumption item, not to mention that the reason why Zheng Chaoan did not make a move was because he promised his family and it was related to the jade pendant on his chest, so the audience continued to endure And look forward to watching it.

From the perspective of future generations, although Bruce Lee's performance cannot be compared with many dramas of later generations, and we can't even expect him to perform with such delicate emotions, but as long as he faces the enemy, he will show convincing confidence from the bottom of his heart to his expression. On this point, it is not seen in many kung fu movies. Wang Xiaohu knows that this is because of Bruce Lee's many years of actual combat experience. , because the actual combat concentration needs to be increased tenfold and a hundredfold, so the eyes are particularly sharp.

Sure enough, when the jade pendant representing his mother was shattered, Zheng Chaoan began to erupt. He eliminated an opponent with three punches and two kicks, and then knocked down one opponent with more than one enemy. The applause of the audience, and "Li Sanjiao" made the audience mesmerized.

"it is good!"

"Amazing, the best movie I've seen this year!"

"Brother Tangshan finally broke out. I had expected a big move. I never thought it would be so exciting and realistic!"

From time to time, the audience talked a lot, and Wang Xiaohu was also attracted by this fighting scene. Although he had watched it many times, this was the first time he watched it in a movie theater, and it was the premiere. This excitement made him clenched his fists. Brother Xiaolong's The charm is really extraordinary!

"It seems that there will be no scenes of the audience shouting and beating people today." A voice suddenly sounded behind Wang Xiaohu, which made him, who had been paying attention to the actions in the back row, turn around immediately.

A group of people came from the back row at some point, most of them were standing, their eyes focused on the audience, the lights in the cinema were dim, but Wang Xiaohu could still see that familiar yet unfamiliar figure immediately!
It's him!Yes, it really is him!The living Bruce Lee was standing behind him, only half a meter away from him!

Wang Xiaohu's heart began to beat faster, and then he gradually came to the back row. When he was about to approach Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Xiaohu with very vigilant eyes. The eyes were full of strong hostility and doubts. The darkness, but like a real light, instantly hit Wang Xiaohu's heart, causing him to tremble and stop in his tracks.

"Hi, Brother Xiaolong, hello! I'm Wang Xiaohu. I really like your Jeet Kune Do and the movies you made. Can you sign me?" It is said by a subconscious instinct without going through the brain.

Bruce Lee, who was wearing a plaid shirt, heard the words, the hostility in his eyes disappeared instantly, and the expression on his face immediately changed into a smile, then he looked at Wang Xiaohu and said: "Of course, why not, but I like your name more , because I had heard about it two hours ago."

Wang Xiaohu blinked, pinched the flesh of his thigh fiercely with his hands, until he felt the pain, he realized that this was not a dream, everything happened for real, he swallowed fiercely to calm himself down, he had There are a lot of things to say to the idol, but when the words come to the lips, they are: "Well, where have you heard my name?"

Bruce Lee raised his eyebrows and said with great personality: "Two hours ago, I saw a script. The plot was very good. It was tailor-made for me, so I was very curious who could write such a wonderful script." Boss Zou told me that it was a dragon and tiger martial artist named Wang Xiaohu."

Wang Xiaohu was as excited as that, rubbing his hands a little at a loss, mother, the idol has heard my name, grandma, why am I crying, I should be happy.

Wang Xiaohu wiped his tears and grinned stupidly. This cute look immediately caused a woman next to Bruce Lee to speak: "Oh, my dear Bruce, congratulations on gaining another fan. I'm so happy for you."

"NO, Linda, what I have gained is not only a movie fan, but also a very talented screenwriter. This is indeed something that should be celebrated. Is Wang Xiaohu right? Do you mind talking about it alone?" Bruce Lee put his arms around the His wife, Linda, extended an invitation to Wang Xiaohu with a smile in her eyes.
