new kung fu king

Chapter 240 I fire you as an investor!

"Winterdur, did you hear that, this oriental kid is going to replace me, haha, who does he think he is?" Goros' self-esteem suddenly swelled at that moment, and after he laughed, he said to Wang Xiaohu with sympathetic eyes: "Boy Dongfang, you made a big joke just now. Although your script is well written, you are just a screenwriter. You have no right to pick and choose directors!"

Gao Luosi shrugged his shoulders after finishing speaking, as if he was waiting for Wang Xiaohu's crazy counterattack like a victorious king, but he didn't think that this young man could organize a decent counterattack, at best it would only make him more embarrassing.

Wang Xiaohu squinted his eyes, and his eyes were extremely bright. He ignored Gao Luosi's sarcasm, but asked Bruce Lee with a smile: "Brother Xiaolong, if I want to change him, what kind of identity do I need?"

Although Bruce Lee didn't understand his sudden proposal to replace Goros, he was also annoyed by what Goros said just now, so he smiled and said, "Warner's senior leaders or major investors."

"OK!" Wang Xiaohu snapped his fingers, met Gao Luosi's proud eyes, and said coldly: "Mr. Gao Luosi, I am now formally requesting you to withdraw from the crew as an investor of "Enter the Dragon." Grandson, are you Do you want rights? OK, I have met your request. Now I will use my identity as an investor to slap you in the face!hum.

"Boy Dongfang, I admit that if you want to scare me, your goal has been achieved, but your behavior makes me feel even more ridiculous, hahaha, investor, is this the United States? Regal!" Gao Luosi still kept a smile on his face, and didn't take Wang Xiaohu's words to heart.

As he said, this is Hong Kong. In his eyes, Hong Kong is still relatively backward like mainland China. It doesn’t matter if you can write scripts. Talents like you are everywhere in Hollywood, and you are also an investor. Pooh!
But gradually, Goros found that Winterdur and Paul Shearer were not smiling, and they were looking at him with worried expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Gao Luosi thumped in his heart, and his laughter stopped abruptly, thinking that this oriental boy is really an investor? "Oh God, this is not true, you must be joking with me, right?" Goros began to sweat finely on his forehead, praying in his heart.

"Mr. Winterdur." Goros's voice was a little trembling. He just called Winterdur's name, and he got the answer from the other party's eyes, the answer he least wanted to get.

Winterdur sighed and closed his eyes, Paul Shearer turned his head away, not sure if he was admiring the posters on the wall or thinking about something.

Wang Xiaohu still folded his arms and looked at Gao Luosi with a smile, while Li Xiaolong was frowning and thinking about things.

Quiet, the office was quiet, and I don't know how long it took. Finally, Gao Luosi couldn't bear the suffocating atmosphere. He yelled, grabbed his hair like crazy, and looked at Wang Xiaohu like Seeing the monster, the anger, unwillingness, and humiliation in his eyes slipped away in an instant. "NO, NO, you have no right, you have no such right!"

"Shut up!" Winterdur was also fed up, and said to Paul Shearer: "Gorros needs to rest." Paul Shearer nodded and dragged Goros, who was still trying to defend himself, out of the office.

Winterdur threw his hands up to his chest and sighed, "Bruce, I'm so sorry, we didn't want this to happen" He wanted to say something about it, but in the end he still found it powerless, yeah , Goros's performance just now made him feel very passive. If Bruce Lee lost interest in Warner because of Goros, then he himself would not be able to go back to do business. "Two, why don't we talk about this matter in another place, I'm in a bad mood right now."

It's not just bad, it's terrible!Winterdur is now full of anger, because the plan to cooperate with Bruce Lee was facilitated by him alone. Originally, his suggestion was to let Warner Company send the best director, but the company felt that Bruce Lee's reputation was only in Southeast Asia and Asia. How the situation in Hollywood remains to be seen further, so the appointment of an outdated director, Goros, to direct, has explained the attitude of Warner's top management to a certain extent.

Since Winterdur was the ghostwriter for Warner to negotiate, he must know that Wang Xiaohu was the one who put forward the investment proposal, but these are still secrets among Warner's top management, and even Goros has no level to know about them.Now that Goros has caused such a thing from the beginning, he feels very passive!

Winterdur expressed considerable sympathy for Goros. This poor guy originally wanted to use his fame in Hollywood to frighten Bruce Lee or the Orientals, but he stumbled. I believe that Warner executives will not Consider enabling him.

"Mr. Winterdur, your request is very reasonable. I also feel that this is not a place to talk about things. How about we go to the Han Palace Tea House and try authentic Chinese tea." Wang Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and did not show any complacency On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic about Winterdur.

Because Wang Xiaohu knows that this guy is much better than Goros, at least when he was filming "Enter the Dragon" in his previous life, he helped Bruce Lee in many ways, and he also fully contributed to Bruce Lee's entry into Hollywood. little old man.

"Little Tiger, why don't you want to see Gao Luosi so much?" Bruce Lee asked in a low voice on the way to the Han Palace Tea House.

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said: "There is no reason, I just don't like the arrogant and domineering look of that guy, this film is your first work in Hollywood, I don't want a mediocre person to lower the quality of the film. And I also believe that as the film's A screenwriter, a director who has worked with you on several films would be perfectly qualified for the job, wouldn't he?"

"Yes, you are the best candidate for the director." Bruce Lee was very grateful after hearing the words, but then said in a worried tone: "I'm afraid that Warner will not agree, and I don't want to embarrass Winterdur. You know I'm fine with my personal relationship with him."

"Well, no matter what kind of director Warner will recommend, as long as they come to Hong Kong to shoot, I will have a way to make all Yankees film in our way!" Wang Xiaohu said with confidence, even Bruce Lee was surprised His source of confidence.

Wang Xiaohu just raised the corners of his mouth mysteriously. He would not tell the truth about Bruce Lee's past life. He clearly remembered that when "Enter the Dragon" was filmed, the director Gao Luosi existed in name only, and was led by the nose like a puppet by Bruce Lee and other Hong Kong actors. .At that time, Bruce Lee was very tempered. He said that he had to shoot as he said, and he said that he would stop the film. In short, the filming was originally planned to be completed in four weeks, but it was delayed until eight weeks, which made people complain.Bruce Lee is the king, he is the soul of the entire crew, if Warner does not cooperate, he will leave - anyway, Hollywood is not just Warner!
This is Bruce Lee's self-confidence and confidence, and now it is completely Wang Xiaohu's self-confidence and confidence!The experience in his previous life told him that as long as Warner's personnel enter Hong Kong to shoot films, they will be in a completely passive situation as a whole.

Maybe it was a change of environment, maybe there was no such annoying guy as Goros, but after Winterdur drank a cup of tea, he began to relax. "Bruce, Tiger, I want to say that Warner Bros. cherishes this opportunity very much, because this is also a rare event in the world film industry. Through our cooperation, the exchanges between Hollywood and Hong Kong film industry will be even better in the future. Frequent and more widespread."

"You are right. So we also cherish this opportunity." Bruce Lee took a sip of tea and said with a signature smile on his face: "But I don't want what happened just now to happen again in future cooperation .”

"I promise!" Winterdur said with a smile.In fact, he really wants to fly back to the United States and said to Warner Bros.: "We were wrong. We thought it would be OK to deal with Bruce Lee, but now he has Tiger King by his side, which is also difficult to deal with!"

Winterdur kept a smile on his face, and said to Wang Xiaohu with an attitude of listening carefully, "I don't know Tiger, do you have any comments to add?"

"As long as you can represent Warner and agree to our five requests." Wang Xiaohu said, "I don't think I will have any more objections."

"Oh, Tiger, I have to tell you that the fifth request to change the director is very important. I have to report to the company before I can give you an answer. Give me some time?"

Wang Xiaohu laughed and said, "Of course, I have to think about you."

"Thank you." Winterdur nodded and said: "Well, gentlemen, in fact, the main purpose of my visit this time is not only to negotiate, my more important task is to comprehensively inspect the comprehensive level of Concorde, you must know There are co-investments in the four requirements you have made, and we at Warner believe that we must be cautious."

As soon as he entered the field that Winterdur is good at, the little old man was very calm. He crossed his hands and leaned on the chair and said: "It seems that the company structure of Concorde is not as perfect as Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers, but with Bruce's There is absolutely no problem with box office appeal."

"So we think it's a bit unfair to split the bill [-]-[-]."

"Isn't it fair?" Wang Xiaohu smiled. He picked up his teacup and said, "Hehe, maybe Mr. Winterdur has to watch the three films produced by our Xiehe company before making a decision. Of course, it is we who want to ask your company Propose films for release in Europe and America."
