Chapter 61 In the Name of Bruce Lee
In the 70s, the work of screenwriting in Hong Kong did not receive much attention. Naturally, the salary for writing a script for a film was not much. With the birth of "Fist of Fury", it was completely reversed.

Because the relationship between Li and Luo was tense when "Fist of Fury" started, Luo Wei exposed the original script to the media in a rage, so everyone knew what the original script looked like, but Wang Xiaohu was here. In such a very unfavorable situation, they immediately produced the second set of scripts, and the second set of scripts was also well-known at the premiere of "Fist of Fury". The plot of the script should be more compact, and the characters should be fuller, making many audiences fascinated and deeply involved.

An excellent script can add color to a film and increase box office revenue. This is an indisputable fact that "Fist of Fury" is placed in front of the executives of the film and television company. Only then did the executives of the film and television company suddenly realize that a good script has such box office guarantee.Invisibly, Wang Xiaohu's net worth doubled, and he became the most sought-after screenwriter under Ni Kuang and Gu Long.

The title of "screenwriter with a box office of 500 million yuan" really attracted the attention of many filmmakers in Hong Kong and Taiwan. After being stimulated, they sent representatives to discuss with Wang Xiaohu, and promised that as long as they wrote a popular script, they would not mind paying 10 yuan per episode. The price of 5 Hong Kong dollars, you must know that this is already the highest salary in the screenwriting industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Even the revenge of Ni Kuang, Gu Long and other seniors for each episode of the script is only 8-[-] Hong Kong dollars, but Wang Xiaohu did not immediately agree. There are contractual reasons to reject it.

Even so, it caused a great sensation. Invisibly, many down-and-out screenwriters saw the dawn, one by one holding back at home and racking their brains to write manuscripts, trying to write a script that was as popular as Wang Xiaohu, and became famous overnight. The dream of becoming "Wang Xiaohu Second".

Bruce Lee once laughed and called him a fool for not taking advantage of great opportunities and making money difficult.

Wang Xiaohu answered Bruce Lee in this way: "Aren't many film producers competing for you now? Their salary is much higher than this. Why are you still struggling with money?"

"I have my own ambitions, I don't want to work for anyone, I want to set up my own film and television company!" Bruce Lee said seriously.

Wang Xiaohu spread his hands and said: "Yes, you have your ideals, and I have mine. I don't want my script to be in the hands of a mediocre director or a hegemonic company. The script I wrote does not allow anyone to modify it, even if it is a Small conversations are not allowed!"

Bruce Lee invited with a very sincere tone: "Hey, Xiaohu, you really have a personality, why don't we join hands again and create the myth of Hong Kong movies."

Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose and said, "Of course, I think only you in Hong Kong can interpret my scripts and actions to the best effect. If I don't cooperate with you, I will cooperate with whom."

"Really, you agreed, haha, Xiaohu moved me so much." Bruce Lee yelled and gave Wang Xiaohu a bear hug, and then he went to Zou Wenhuai non-stop, and used his actual actions to report to his brother who loves him—— - Wang Xiaohu.

While negotiating with Golden Harvest, Bruce Lee also obtained considerable compensation for himself, so today he actively invited Wang Xiaohu to his home as a guest, and anxiously told him the good news.

"Hey, Xiaohu, I know you are the biggest hero in "Fist of Fury", but the dividends given by the Golden Harvest gang are not very large. After their agreement, they are only willing to pay you 30 Hong Kong dollars. If you feel that the amount is less, I can give you a part to compensate you." Li Xiaolong looked at Wang Xiaohu and said in a more cautious tone.

Wang Xiaohu just raised his eyebrows, 5% dividends, quite a lot, definitely beyond the scope of his imagination, you must know that if he is not a screenwriter, martial arts instructor, assistant director, and main actor, if it is not "Jing Fu Men" With such an impressive box office, he probably won't get a penny.After all, he still knows that after the box office statistics come out, it will be handed over to other theaters, and Golden Harvest will still have to take the lead, and the rest will be considered for the dividends of the director, assistant director, and starring gods.

"Oh no, Brother Xiaolong, 30 Hong Kong dollars is indeed a very large amount, at least for now, it is relatively large for me, how should I thank you, Brother Xiaolong!" Wang Xiaohu said excitedly : "It seems a bit too stingy to just treat your family to a meal."

He knew that Bruce Lee must have put in a lot of effort to get the 5% dividend, and Golden Harvest was able to agree to this amount, largely because of Bruce Lee. If he asked himself to discuss it with Zou Wenhuai, the amount might be small. Poor, even Zou Wenhuai didn't give any of it.

Bruce Lee tilted his head and laughed: "Haha, I said that this is the reward you should get. If you want to repay me, it's too easy. You continue to write me a script that is even better than "Fist of Fury" , to design actions that make the audience more obsessed, this is already the greatest reward for me, isn't it, my brother!"

"OK, as you wish, we will continue to work together to let Chinese Kung Fu set sail from Hong Kong, and then knock on the door of Hollywood!"

"My brother, you know me so well, let's do it!" Bruce Lee shouted excitedly, punching and kicking back and forth in the guest room, his whole body was full of passion, as if that moment had come.After he finished his excitement and sat back on the sofa, he said to Wang Xiaohu, "Have you thought about how to spend this huge sum of money?"

Wang Xiaohu stretched out his index finger: "The first thing to do is to get a house. I have to move out of the kennel in the slums."

Bruce Lee snapped his fingers and said, "That's a good idea, and then."

"Then, hehe." Wang Xiaohu smiled, and said to Bruce Lee: "Then I will start a small business, but I need your cooperation, Brother Xiaolong."

Bruce Lee frowned, and asked with puzzled eyes: "Hmm, small business? Is it related to making movies?"

"Of course, otherwise I would never have taken your idea, Brother Xiaolong." Wang Xiaohu smiled like a little fox. "I want to open a restaurant, the name is Bruce Lee's Restaurant, and then I will open a sports goods store. Of course, I will sell books published by you, Brother Xiaolong, and mainly nunchucks."

Bruce Lee was stunned, and after a while he shouted: "Damn it, you are doing such a boring thing in my name!"
