new kung fu king

Chapter 241 The Incoherent Old Wen
Winterdur's words contained two meanings. From a personal point of view, he was very happy to complete this grand occasion of a Chinese-American co-production, and the other party was a kung fu superstar like Bruce Lee.But Americans are very different from the Chinese in handling affairs. They like to separate public affairs and private affairs. Therefore, from the perspective of Warner Bros., he must complete the inspection of Concorde Company and give the company detailed information as soon as possible. Reporting to determine the attribution of the final contract signing.

In fact, Winterdur was thrown into a vicious circle by Wang Xiaohu from the very beginning. If it wasn't for the extreme behavior of Goros that made him unable to react, he could have vetoed Wang Xiaohu's request by not signing the contract between the two parties.Because now it is just that both parties show signs of cooperation, and only after signing in black and white, can Wang Xiaohu's identity as an investor be recognized by law.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu would not think that American laws would have much binding force on him.He just didn't like Gao Luosi's words, and he hated this second-rate director who had spoiled Bruce Lee's works from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want his and Bruce Lee's hard work to be possessed by him.

So after listening to Winterdur's candid words, Wang Xiaohu and Bruce Lee looked at each other, and it was not too late for Wang Xiaohu to propose to read Concord's works before making a comprehensive evaluation.

So the place of negotiation between the two parties was transferred to a nearby screening hall. In this small screening hall belonging to the theater chain of Xiehe, Wang Xiaohu arranged for the staff to play the English version of "Ip Man" first. A wonderful work, it is a classic production that can represent the comprehensive strength of Xiehe Company.

With the wonderful martial arts action and the exciting background music, Winterdur was greatly shocked in his heart!Different from "Fist of Fury" which has been screened in some theaters in Europe and America (Fist of Fury is still copyrighted by Golden Harvest, uh!), "Ip Man" finally made Winterdur feel the same beauty as Chinese tea ceremony and martial arts. The strong oriental artistic atmosphere made him devote himself to the film.

During the 120 minutes, Winterdur didn't know how many times he applauded and shed tears, "Oh God, Bruce, please tell me, this is the work of your Concorde Company? I'm so surprised!"

"Yes! This is the film directed, written and starred by Tiger himself. How do you feel?" Bruce Lee said with a smile.

"I can't believe my eyes. Is what I saw a Hong Kong movie? From my decades of professional experience in film, this is a work that can be regarded as a first-class work in Hollywood!" Wen Te Dull's old face flushed with excitement, and he held Bruce Lee's arm tightly with his right hand and said, "I can assure you, this movie called "IP-MAN" will create a whirlwind in Hollywood, Bruce, don't be unhappy , what I said is absolutely true!"

"Thank God, I thought I only wanted to get you, Bruce, but God had mercy on me and let me discover a talent like Tiger who can perform miracles. God, you are so kind to me!"

Old Winterdur was a little incoherent with excitement, and it can be seen from his true feelings at this time that he no longer has the slightest prejudice against Wang Xiaohu. "Tiger, I want to sincerely apologize to you. I originally wanted to use other methods to keep Goros, but it seems that it is unnecessary now, because I feel that you are more qualified than him to be the director!"

"Don't you need to report to Warner Company?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a frown, did he know that this warm-hearted little old man would always do something that made people happy, otherwise Bruce Lee would not have been disappointed one after another back then.

"Oh, you're right." Winterdur patted his forehead and said, "I'm almost going to make the same old mistakes again. Yes, I have to ask the company for instructions first. But I will strongly recommend you as a director, please Believe in my sincerity!"

"I can feel your sincerity." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Whether this matter is successful or not, it will not affect my enthusiasm for work! Thank you."

"Tiger, the oriental mind makes me right. In your words, it's embarrassing. I don't know if I express it right?"

Hearing Winterdur's cameo as a "China Handy" speaking that bad and abnormal Chinese, both Long and Tiger laughed.Bruce Lee patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are right! Shall we watch the remaining two films next?"

"Of course I have to watch it!" Winterdur laughed loudly: "I want to continue to feel the shock you bring, it's really incredible!"

Throughout the afternoon, Winterdur stayed in the screening hall to finish watching "The Righteous Hero" and "Raptors Crossing the River", and even watched the unfinished "Warrior". Now the little old man's heart can no longer be shaken To describe it, he was a little numb after being shocked one after another.After shaking his head, he took a long breath and said, "Oh, please allow me to call Warner to report now."

"I am willing to help you." Bruce Lee smiled brightly on his face, and took Winterdur to make a call.

After a while, he returned to Wang Xiaohu's side, beat Wang Xiaohu's arm and said, "Brother, you did a great job!"

"This is just the beginning!" Sitting on a chair, Wang Xiaohu said in a very uncomfortable tone: "Brother Xiaolong, it's time for me to be busy, but I hope you will let Warner delay to my office no matter what." After the engagement banquet, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy for such a big project."

"Don't worry!" Bruce Lee patted his chest and said, "Although I'm also very anxious, I can't delay your lifelong event because of these things!"

"If Warner Bros. is in a hurry to start the game, I have many ways to delay them." Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "First go to the United States to choose actors in Hollywood, and then bring their actors to Hong Kong for intensive training. It's been a month, and when my work is settled, I will devote myself to filming."

"Your suggestion is good! Hollywood does shoot like this. I am very glad that you have always insisted on this mode of operation. This will give our Concorde company an incomparably superior sense of superiority over other Hong Kong film companies." Bruce Lee nodded.

At this moment, Winterdur returned to the auditorium, his face was not as bright as when he left, he put his hands on his chest and gestured back and forth: "Gentlemen, I want to say that I failed No, they didn't agree to let Tiger be the director."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head, this was what he expected, but Bruce Lee wanted to fight for his brother no matter what: "Hey, Winterdur, you can't do this, it's too unfair to us, no Ren is more suitable for the position of director than Tiger, he is a screenwriter, he also understands Chinese Kung Fu, he knows many Chinese customs and habits, I am an old partner with him, I don’t want to see a stranger pointing fingers!”

"Bruce, please calm down, I can understand your mood." Winterdur hurriedly comforted: "In fact, I also reported to them in this way, but you know that they are all stubborn and stubborn in certain things. Stick to your point of view."

"What is this?" Bruce Lee looked at Old Winter angrily and said, "Hey, I don't want to say this is the first time, but their answer disappointed me once again!"

Winterdur was very embarrassed, yes, he took it for granted a few times, and gave Bruce Lee hope every time, but let him down every time.

"Brother Xiaolong, can you sit down first?" Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you think about it in another way, Warner's decision is not wrong. Could it be that I will not do my best because of these so-called false names? You Wrong, think about what I told you just now, as long as you come to Hong Kong, everything will be filmed according to our way!"

"But what they did made me chill!"

Wang Xiaohu used Cantonese to speak to Bruce Lee. The purpose of doing this was to prevent Winterdur from understanding the content of the conversation between the two.In Old Winter's eyes, the two were having a fierce quarrel at this time.

"Gentlemen, can you wait first, I haven't had time to finish, although they didn't agree to Tiger as the director, but after my repeated efforts, they finally agreed to Tiger to be the assistant director." Wen Tedu Er said so.

"What? Assistant director?" Bruce Lee had a strange expression on his face. He touched his nose and said, "Is it just an assistant director?"

Winterdur sighed, "Yes, I did my best."

"That means Warner has agreed to our five requests?" Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "Then can we sit down and sign the contract?"

"Yes, we can sign the contract!"

In Xiehe's office, Winterdur took out the contract that had been drawn up long ago. In fact, they had already confirmed their intention to sign the contract, but some substantive terms needed to be revised again, such as the choice of director, the amount of funds invested by both parties, and actors. lineup and more.

The two parties sat in the office and discussed intensely for two hours. Wang Xiaohu had a strong attitude and fought for every inch of land. Finally, a clause was added at the end of the contract to let Warner be responsible for the promotional expenses of the global distribution.

In the end, Bruce Lee carefully checked the contract three times and signed his name with a swipe of a pen. Afterwards, Wang Xiaohu and Winterdur also signed their names.

"Guys, should we open a bottle of champagne to celebrate at this time?" Wang Xiaohu suggested.

"I agree!" Winterdur immediately raised his hand. The two hours just now were the most tiring time in his life. He was almost crushed by two Chinese people. After the contract was signed, he breathed a sigh of relief. , but his whole body is as wet as if he was lifted out of the water. He needs to drink something to relax now.
