new kung fu king

Chapter 277 Jean-Claude Van Damme
In the first few days, whenever Winterdur contacted a theater, he would call Wang Xiaohu to announce the good news. The little old man seemed extraordinarily motivated, and he seemed to exude the drive that only young people have. He said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile on the phone: : "Tiger, I never thought that decades later, I would repeat the feeling of entering the film industry at the beginning of the year. It is really memorable. You let me experience the hard work and joy of struggle."

Wang Xiaohu would care on the phone: "Old Wen, I'm glad to see that you have such ample energy. Don't get tired. You must know that you are an antique-level employee of our company." Winterdur happily enjoyed Wang Xiaohu's compliments.

But at the end of January, Winterdur's phone calls became less and less, and sometimes he would look very tired and say in an apologetic tone: "Tiger, I have signed a contract for 30 small theaters. Will launch an offensive against big companies like Danmei, MGM, and 20th Century Fox, please give me some time?"

Wang Xiaohu hadn't received a call from Winterdur for two days, and he could no longer accompany Zhao Yazhi to live a holiday life with God, so on February 2, Wang Xiaohu and his group rushed to the home of Winterdur in Los Angeles.

Winterdur's home is located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He himself likes a quiet and leisurely living environment, so there are no other buildings within a radius of one kilometer around his house. Under the guidance of Paul Shearer, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi knocked on Old Wen door.

It wasn't until he saw Winterdur lying on the bed on a drip that Wang Xiaohu realized that this old guy who worked so hard for him had fallen ill.

"Boss, I'm very sorry. I originally agreed to discuss the contract with Danmei's publishing manager yesterday, but who knew?" Winterdur's eyelids drooped, and his expression showed that he was very haggard now. This situation made Wang Xiaohu feel very ashamed. He stepped forward and said, "Hey, what you need to do now, Old Wen, is to take good care of your body. As for other things, let me handle them."

"Boss, I'm very worried." Winterdur tried to continue with a weak voice, but had to stop due to severe coughing. Finally, Wang Xiaohu comforted Winterdur and left.

"Tiger, I'm sorry, our theaters are fully booked from next weekend, and you know it will be Valentine's Day soon, so the films that our company distributes during this period are all literary and romantic films." Danmei's distribution manager Said in extremely tactful words.

"Okay, thank you for telling me this in your busy schedule." Wang Xiaohu stood up and said disappointedly.

"As far as we know, you and Bruce Lee are good friends. Now his "Enter the Dragon" is doing well at the box office in North America. Why don't you take the opportunity to make a kung fu movie? I think the box office is better than this "Rocky"." When the other party sent Wang Xiaohu to the gate of Danmei Company, he said this sentence.

In fact, Wang Xiaohu didn't understand what Winterdur meant by "I'm worried" until now. Yes, whether it's Warner Bros. or the current Danmei, what they value is Bruce Lee's box office appeal. Exclusive, thinking of these, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help sighing.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu sighed, the other party thought that his opinion had been adopted, so he continued: "Against our company's statistics, Tiger's "IP-MAN" has also exceeded 5000 million in the box office in North America. Now the audience is very interested in kung fu movies with oriental characteristics, I think, you know what I mean?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. If there is a chance, we will cooperate."

"I'm looking forward to your company's Kung Fu movies." The other party said with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu took a long breath after walking out of Danmei Company, raised his head to look at the blue sky, then sat on the steps with his chin in his hand, thinking about what the Danmei distribution manager said just now, could it be that after Brother Xiaolong passed away, he would never be able to break through that barrier again? Is it layer Lenga?
"Hey, look, isn't this our pretentious oriental director?"

Just when Wang Xiaohu was frowning and thinking, a familiar voice came from the front, and when he looked up, he saw three people walking down the steps, and it was Gao Luosi who spoke.

"Haha, look, after Bruce Lee's soul returned to heaven, our Oriental director was completely lost!" Gao Luosi laughed and said to the two people beside him: "Paul, what did I say before? It is a dream for Hollywood to gain a firm foothold, they managed to produce a Bruce Lee, but after filming the first major Hollywood film, they will go to God!"

Wang Xiaohu narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Goros who was talking loudly. He didn't show the slightest anger. In fact, he really wanted to beat Goros, but his reason told him that he couldn't do that. After glancing at Goros, he stood up and left.

"Hey, Dongfang boy, do you want to leave like this?" Gao Luosi grabbed Wang Xiaohu, tilted his head and said, "Are you guilty? Or the release of the American inspirational film you shot has been hindered?"

"Jimmy, an oriental guy actually made an inspirational film promoting the American spirit, hahaha, what a ridiculous joke!" Goros said pulling the buddy beside him, and the two partners immediately cooperated after hearing this, pretending He looked surprised and asked: "This is the oriental boy you mentioned a while ago? We Americans can't take pictures well, let alone Orientals!"

"Of course!" Goros nodded proudly, and sarcastically said, "It's him. He thinks he can do whatever he wants after mastering the skills of kung fu movies. Who would have thought that after Bruce Lee left, he would reveal his true colors, haha!"

"So what?" Wang Xiaohu said, "Golos, have you forgotten how you got out of the "Enter the Dragon" crew?"

This sentence greatly stimulated Gao Luosi's pain. This was his pain. Except for those who knew him, he never mentioned it to others, even his close friends.

After Gao Luosi was kicked out of the crew by Wang Xiaohu's investor, he was about to go crazy, especially after hearing that Wang Xiaohu came to Hollywood to shoot an inspirational film that embodies the American spirit, he used his influence in Hollywood to ridicule Wang Xiaohu. , But the good times didn't last long. "Enter the Dragon" was a hit at the box office in North America. The rumors he had caused about Wang Xiaohu earlier were self-defeating, so he said in an interview with reporters that Wang Xiaohu succeeded with Bruce Lee.

When news of Bruce Lee's death came from Hong Kong, Goros became even worse. This made Warner very annoyed, so after high-level discussions, Goros was exiled. Today he happened to be introduced by a friend to interview the director of Danmei. When it came to Wang Xiaohu, how could the resentful Gao Luosi give up this great opportunity for revenge.

Who knew that Wang Xiaohu would bring up this embarrassing incident in front of his friends, how could you calm down Gao Luosi, he blushed and stretched out his fist, shaking in front of Wang Xiaohu and said: "Boy Dongfang, this is America, you have to say for yourself If you pass, you will be responsible!"

Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said indifferently: "You are threatening me! According to American law, I can sue you!"

Gao Luosi sneered: "American law only protects American citizens, and Orientals like you are not within the scope of protection!" As he spoke, he swung his fist, not wanting to hit Wang Xiaohu, his nose immediately felt a sting, and then I felt hot at the tip of my nose, and hot and humid liquid flowed out from my nose.

"Golos, you are bleeding!" Paul and Jimmy shouted in horror.

"FUCK! Hit him together!" Gao Luosi lost his mind after being injured, and encouraged the two partners to beat Wang Xiaohu.

"Fighting is my favorite!" Wang Xiaohu smiled and put on the pose of Wing Chun asking his hand, not wanting this posture to make passers-by scream.

"Look, this is IP-MAN's sign action!"

"Kung-Fu! Chinese-Kung-Fu!" A white man ran over excitedly and said, "Hey, are you a Chinese Kung Fu master? Please accept me as an apprentice!"

"Oh God, he turned out to be IP-MAN, Bruce Lee's brother!"

More people gathered around, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that the white-haired young man in front of them turned out to be the leading actor in "Ip Man", the IP-MAN who faced the Japanese imperialist guns in the film, the one who once The hero Bruce Lee who set off a kung fu craze in the world. The brother he often talks about!

Everyone was excited. After Bruce Lee's sudden death, they were all immersed in grief. Now they saw Wang Xiaohu fighting with others on the street. Just the pose they put on had already made their hearts throb.

The three of Gao Luosi immediately felt guilty when they saw this, and they didn't even follow the rule that the villain must say a few harsh words before leaving, so they fled in embarrassment.

"Hey, you're Tiger King. I've seen your movie. Can you sign it for me?" The white guy took out a pen, but couldn't find a place to sign it. He finally rolled up his arm and said, " Sign it here, I admire you very much." When Wang Xiaohu signed his name, he chattered endlessly: "Will you open a shop to teach apprentices like Bruce Lee? If so, let me know as soon as possible, please remember me My name is Jean-Claude Van Damme, I admire Chinese Kung Fu very much, so I gave myself a very good Chinese name: Jean-Claude Van Damme, how do you feel?"

"What? Your name is Jean-Claude Van Damme?" Wang Xiaohu looked at him in surprise after signing, and was speechless for a while. This is a fucking coincidence. He is the one who won the European Professional Karate Association The heavyweight champion, the Hollywood action superstar who has won many competitions, and Jean-Claude Van Damme, known as the "Brussels Muscle Man"?

I don't know if Jean-Claude Van Damme really has a relationship with China. Since 1993, he has starred in the debut films of several major Hong Kong action film directors entering Hollywood.He has successively starred in Woo Yusen's "Ultimate Target", Tsui Hark's "Counter Attack" and "Head Attack", Lin Lingdong's "Hard Break into 100% Danger", "Copy Murderer" and "Hell Awakens the Dragon".His legendary and realistic performances made these action films legends, and Jean-Claude Van Damme became an important actor in action films.As an outstanding action movie actor, he has a very important position in the hearts of action movie fans all over the world.

Judging from his age, Jean-Claude Van Damme seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. It stands to reason that he should be in Brussels, Belgium. How could he meet him in Los Angeles?Wang Xiaohu frowned and asked, "Why did you appear here?"

"Oh, God." Jean-Claude Van Damme said with a sad expression: "I heard that Bruce Lee was buried in Seattle a week ago, and I begged my father for a long time before being allowed to come to the United States to pay homage to him. At the same time, I also had a feeling for Hollywood. interested, so"
