Chapter 319 Preparations before the war
"What is the secret behind Bruce Lee's abandonment and death? If you want to know, then don't miss "Game of Death", which will be released in the United States in two days. This film is the last work of Bruce Lee before his death. Produced, you will once again appreciate Bruce Lee's heroic spirit in this film, and you can also find out the reason for Bruce Lee's death!"

This is the news report on the front page of the "Los Angeles Daily". When Wang Xiaohu saw this newspaper, it was already the second morning after he arrived in Los Angeles, after spending a decent night at his home in a foreign country. , He is full of energy now, watching various reports about "Game of Death", in fact he now admires Zou Wenhuai's mind a little bit.

It is definitely a very good gimmick to link "Game of Death" with the cause of Bruce Lee's death. If Wang Xiaohu hadn't known that this was a trick by Golden Harvest and Warner, he would have had the idea of ​​going to the cinema to see it first.

"I have been a human being for two lives. Even Bruce Lee's brothers don't know how he died. It would be strange if you knew!" Wang Xiaohu disdainfully threw the newspaper on the table, stretched himself and stood in front of the balcony doing what he had done for two years. Uninterrupted physical training.

Perhaps after Bruce Lee's death, the psychological pressure caused to him disappeared. Now he no longer has to worry about how to save Brother Xiaolong. Now he is playing Wing Chun very smoothly, slowly experiencing all kinds of comfort brought by Xiao Nian Tao, The state of mind is different, and the understanding of boxing is also different. Now he is more and more aware of the powerful effect of Xiao Nian Tou. After seven or eight minutes of fighting Xiao Nian Tou, the sweat pores all over his body exude refreshment.

Today's work is not very busy, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi went to the branch for a stroll, and by the way, read the script of "Rocky II" that Stallone has revised and perfected many times in the past six months. It can be said that "Rocky" was written by Stallone In itself, after filming "Rocky" with all his heart, this guy has further researched and developed the Rocky spirit. The script of "Rocky II" is to continue the style of "Rocky" and carry forward that inspirational spirit.

In the first part, Rocky wanted to prove himself wholeheartedly, so he trained hard, and finally broke through himself in the boxing match and won everyone's respect.In "Rocky II", due to the eye injury caused by the last boxing match, Rocky gave up boxing. Although the prize money of the boxing match made his life rich for a while, but because he bought a house, car, watch, etc., he gave up boxing. Splurging, Rocky soon finds himself in a difficult situation in life.Although Rocky is willing to be mediocre, because he knows nothing but boxing, he can only do primitive manual labor. To make matters worse, the economic downturn makes him unemployed soon.

Rocky was finally forced to return to boxing and decided to fight Apollo again, but because of his wife's opposition, he has been absent-minded.In the end, his wife fell into a coma due to premature blood loss, and Rocky stayed by her side until she woke up. The wife was so touched that she turned to support.Rocky, who corrected his attitude, finally got back on track. After some hard training, Rocky finally defeated Apollo in the boxing arena and ascended to the throne of boxing champion.

"It looks pretty good." Wang Xiaohu put down the script and said to Stallone: ​​"The script you wrote is very good, I can't find any problems. If you are well prepared, I will invest in shooting in the middle of this month."

"Boss, I" Stallone said, spreading his hands in front of his chest, "I want to direct the filming myself, I wonder if it's possible?"

Wang Xiaohu glanced at Stallone approvingly, nodded and said, "Of course. After all, I don't have much time to shoot. In fact, you should also exercise."

"Boss, are you sure?" Stallone asked with a surprised expression on his face.

"Hehe, of course I'm sure." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "This time you will not only be a screenwriter and starring role, but also a director, so in order to ensure that you can shoot smoothly, you must submit a detailed report before I leave Los Angeles. For the shooting plan, I request that actors, props, costumes, shooting locations, and cast and crew be added in detail. If you want to make it more detailed, it is best to include how many films you need to shoot for each scene and how many sets of lights you use. Add it!"

"Thank you boss!" Stallone stood up happily and said, "Boss, I will do it with my heart!"

"Looking forward to your good grades!" Wang Xiaohu sent Stallone away with a smile, and then asked Winterdur to book two air tickets to Seattle tomorrow.He was going to Seattle to visit Linda's family, and took Li Guohao to his side by the way, and he also wanted to visit the place where Bruce Lee was buried.

"Young boss, are you really sure you want Sylvester to direct alone? I feel like he doesn't have the slightest experience in this area!" Winterdur, who had booked a plane ticket, found Wang Xiaohu and said straight to the point: "Hi, Boss, making movies is not a child's trick, you can't ruin the reputation we have built so hard, I don't think you should take the risk."

Lao Wen is a competent producer, Wang Xiaohu had long expected that he would propose to himself in this way, he laughed and said: "Old Wen, do you still remember when we first met, you also summed me up as only writing Dongfang boy of the script, both you and Gao Luosi once questioned my directing level, but in fact, didn’t I prove it to you with my own actions?”

"That's different! You have a deep understanding of the director's work before, and you have accumulated experience in controlling big scenes and shooting classic works." Winterdur said very seriously: "Boss, this is very important I hope you can think about it carefully."

Seeing Winterdur's anxious look, Wang Xiaohu smiled slightly, but did not answer. He was like a mirror in his heart. The box office of "Rocky II" in North America was far inferior to that of "Rocky 1", mainly because "Rocky II" The script of "Rocky 1" is not as exciting as "Rocky 8000", but it also has an income of nearly 8000 million US dollars. Wang Xiaohu does not expect Stallone to have much director experience with this film, at least [-] million US dollars, which is enough!

Think about his purpose in entering Hollywood: he came to make money, and invested the money earned in Hollywood in Hong Kong to enhance his own strength and improve the overall environment of Hong Kong movies.So as long as there are movies that can make money, he doesn't mind making a few more movies.What's more, it can also hone Stallone and let him realize that success is not easy, and it can serve multiple purposes!
"Oh, God! Boss, don't you really think about it anymore?" Seeing Wang Xiaohu's indifference, Winterdur said anxiously, scratching his hair.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but sighed and said: "Old Wen, I can understand your feelings. You seem to be caught in a strange circle. No one will be lucky enough to break their own records one after another. I can't guarantee this. So, Why don't we sit down calmly and face reality, and think about the American spirit expressed in "Rocky". America is a country full of opportunities. As long as you work hard, you will achieve ultimate success, Silvester Tet has a lot of innate conditions at the moment, and I don't think he has a reason to fail."

"Of course, it depends on the criteria for failure. If he wants to break the box office record I created, the possibility is zero!" Wang Xiaohu looked like a mischievous child, and he said: "Give him a chance to grow up!" !"

"Okay!" Winterdur thought for a while, and finally lowered his posture and acquiesced in this matter: "You are the boss, I respect your decision, and I hope that guy won't screw up."

Wang Xiaohu shook his finger and said, "No, you are wrong again! It doesn't matter whether he screwed up or not, what matters is whether he can recognize himself clearly from the shooting of this film."

"Boss, if I continue to communicate with you, I will go crazy. I feel that you are rational now like a saint!" Winterdur shook his head in distress and said, "In front of you, I am like a person who speaks ill of others. Bad guy, you make me feel ashamed!"

"Haha!" Wang Xiaohu smiled happily, and couldn't find any other words to comfort this stubborn and cute old Wen.

In order to increase the promotion of "Game of Death" in the United States, Warner and Golden Harvest set up a huge stage in the Los Angeles Cultural Plaza. They all came to cheer for Bruce Lee. Although they all knew that Bruce Lee had passed away, in their hearts Bruce Lee would live forever.

This open-air party was very successful. It can be called the largest party with the largest number of participants and the most influential party this year. According to incomplete statistics, there were as many as 1 Bruce Lee fans present that night. From this data, you can see How great the appeal and influence of Bruce Lee in the United States, many fans even rushed to the scene from New York, Seattle, New Jersey, Florida and other places.

The program organized by Party is also very exciting. Four oriental actors who look similar to Bruce Lee wear yellow one-piece sweatshirts and perform the movements in Bruce Lee movies on the stage. The cudgel sticks were flying up and down, which really opened the eyes of these Americans. They shouted the name of "Bruce-Lee" loudly under the stage, and their expressions were extremely crazy!
Zou Wenhuai and Ted Eisley also came to the scene in person, and said a lot of sensational words, such as Zou Wenhuai recalled the little things with Bruce Lee as a friend, talked about how he trusted Bruce Lee, how he appreciated Bruce Lee, and how he helped him establish Concord etc.

When talking about Bruce Lee's death, Zou Wenhuai even burst into tears: "This "Game of Death" was co-produced by us when Bruce had not left Golden Harvest a year ago. Unfortunately, when the filming was about to end, he suddenly announced that he would leave Golden Harvest, which caused this film to die. The film has run aground, and as his friend, I am obliged to complete the reshoots of his last posthumous work and make it public!"

Zou Wenhuai's seemingly sincere expression really made more than 1 dragon fans present feel unhappy. They expressed their respect to Zou Wenhuai on the stage with warm applause.

Not far from the stage, a tall man was pushing a wheelchair. The man in the wheelchair was wearing a cowboy hat, and a pair of sunglasses blocked his face. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Hypocrisy!"
