Chapter 66 Daheng Zou's New Plan

On February 1972, 2, the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was fine and the sun shone on both sides of the Xiangjiang River, making this winter extraordinarily warm.

Wang Xiaohu got up early in the morning and took Yuen Biao to the largest vegetable store in Kowloon to raid. Since he had promised to cook a table of Lu cuisine for Li Guohao's seventh birthday, he would definitely buy the vegetables himself. He would not count on Bruce Lee and Linda. I know that Bruce Lee knows nothing about cooking, but Linda is good at Western food and cooking a few Cantonese dishes.

In Hong Kong, it is somewhat difficult to buy the vegetables and fish needed for Shandong cuisine, especially in Kowloon, a place that lacks fresh water in the eyes. Wang Xiaohu walked around the whole business three times but did not find a single carp. Depressed, he stood there for a long time. Roll your eyes.

"Hey, it seems that the best sweet and sour carp can't be made!" Wang Xiaohu sighed and grabbed a few mackerel and put them in the vegetable basket. After purchasing some accessories, he took a taxi with Yuen Biao and rushed to Mingde Garden.

Today's Mingde Garden is extremely lively. When Wang Xiaohu and Yuen Biao walked into the courtyard, they found many people sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Lin Zhengying, Xiao Qilin and others were serving as guest waiters, serving tea and water for the guests, and they were extremely busy.

Li Xiaolong saw Wang Xiaohu and Yuen Biao walking into the courtyard with a lot of things, and hurriedly stood up and said hello jokingly: "Xiaohu, why are you here now? You must know that you are the chef today. If you don't show up, we will These people are going to starve to death!"

Wang Xiaohu didn't pay attention to Bruce Lee's ridicule, but handed the things in his hand to Sammo Hung who came over, and then politely greeted Zou Wenhuai: "Hi Boss Zou, Mrs. Zou."

Zou Wenhuai nodded with a smile, while Yuan Xihua looked at Wang Xiaohu with great interest, and then she smiled and said: "Wenhuai, this is the Wang Xiaohu you often talk about, he really is a good-looking talent, I don't know if Xiaohu has a girlfriend, If not, I can introduce you to a few."

Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, wondering why the wives of these bigwigs always like to be a guest matchmaker. Linda is like this, and Yuan Xihua is like this now. Could it be that Yuelao recently came to have a rest with his aunt?
Naturally, Wang Xiaohu didn't dare to say these words, and said politely at once: "Thank you Mrs. Zou for your concern. Xiaohu is a little younger now, and he should focus on his career. As for the personal relationship between children, it still depends on fate."

"Hehe, career is the most important thing. Xiaohu will have a bright future in the future." Yuan Xihua covered her mouth and said with a smile, then shook her head at her husband to exchange something.

Many of the people present today were unknown to Wang Xiaohu. They should be new friends that Bruce Lee had met through contact in the past few days. However, he still saw a few vaguely familiar figures. It was only after he recalled that he realized that those people were indeed Wang Yu. , Cao Dahua, Ti Lung, Chen Guantai and others are all martial arts superstars who dominated Hong Kong in the 70s. It seems that Bruce Lee's reputation is really not small.

"Uncle Xiaohu, you're finally here. Shannon and I are almost starving." Xiao Guohao ran over with his two-and-a-half-year-old sister Li Xiangning in his arms, and complained in a pitiful tone, "Uncle Xiaohu has to do it to be late." Shannon and I didn’t eat anything last night.” (Comrades are really helpful, thank you to everyone who told me the name of Li Xiangning’s quotation in the book review area and book friend group.)
"Hehe, then bear with it for a while, Uncle Xiaohu will go to the kitchen to cook something delicious for you." Wang Xiaohu said dotingly, stroking the heads of Li Guohao and Li Xiangning.

"That's great." Little Shou Xing was wearing a maroon Tang suit, smiling brightly.

After Wang Xiaohu greeted Bruce Lee, he entered the kitchen and started cooking, while Zou Wenhuai in the yard continued to talk with Bruce Lee to complete the topic.

"Xiaolong, I heard that Xiaohu has written a new script?"

Bruce Lee nodded and said: "Yes, I like this script very much, Wen Huai, you don't know how much I like the name of this script, Raptors Crossing the River, haha, absolutely cool name, isn't it?"

The corner of Zou Wenhuai's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly covered it up. He smiled and said, "It does sound good. I wonder if you have any plans?"

"Wen Huai, do you still remember what I said last year? I want to start my own film and television company to film "Way of the Dragon"." Bruce Lee said after pondering for a while.

The smile on Zou Wenhuai's face faltered, and he frowned and thought for a while. He knew that Bruce Lee had great ambitions and would not be controlled by others, but he was not talented in management, and he had no idea how to prepare and operate the film.He knew very well that "Fist of Fury" would not have achieved such a great success if Wang Xiaohu, an all-rounder, suddenly appeared to help Bruce Lee.

Zou Wenhuai said earnestly: "This matter must be cautious. I have been in the film industry at this age, and I have done a lot of film production. I am [-]% sure that I will leave Run Run Shaw and take this step. It is better now You are young and high-spirited, and act rashly. You set up a production company and smashed the cards before the production. You are now a Hong Kong superstar, and your every move is watched by all Hong Kong citizens. If a film goes wrong, your reputation will be ruined. Lost!"

"Well, maybe you're right, I should think about it again." Bruce Lee felt that Zou Wenhuai's words were reasonable, and the impulsive energy at the moment calmed down.

In fact, Zou Wenhuai said this because he was very afraid of Bruce Lee's job-hopping.At that time, an expert commented on "Shao Zou Zhengli", accusing Shao of short-sightedness, self-esteem, and rejecting Bruce Lee. As a result, Bruce Lee joined the "enemy camp" Golden Harvest, bringing Golden Harvest back to life.It's like a fool grabbing something and hitting a drowning enemy, only to throw a lifebuoy.

Zou Wenhuai is very clear that Bruce Lee is also very, very important to the increasingly powerful Golden Harvest who has "resurrected from the dead".Bruce Lee set up his own family, which is not good for Jiahe.But Zou Wenhuai is familiar with Bruce Lee's temper, so he can't stop it forcibly, he can only persuade him tactfully.Zou Wenhuai's persuasion is quite artistic, without revealing the slightest trace.What's more, Zou Wenhuai treated him a lot. In addition to the film salary, Bruce Lee could also get a considerable dividend from Boss Zou.

Moreover, when Bruce Lee approached Zou Wenhuai to discuss giving Wang Xiaohu a part of the dividend, Zou Wenhuai had a serious conversation with He Guanchang and others for more than an hour, and finally agreed to Bruce Lee's conditions, but the dividend was only 5% of the box office. It can be seen that Zou Wenhuai did not want Bruce Lee to leave. , and I don't want Wang Xiaohu, who has a good relationship with Bruce Lee, to leave.

Seeing that the persuasion was effective, Zou Wenhuai immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Please tell me the general content of the script first, and I will help you with advice."

After Bruce Lee briefly talked about the content of the script of "The Way of the Dragon", Zou Wenhuai nodded again: "Well, the screenwriter's vision for a box office of 500 million is still good. This book is very good. If it can work well, the box office will surely It's impressive."

After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, seeing Bruce Lee's frowning look, his heart immediately blossomed. The more Bruce Lee worried, the more confident he was in carrying out his plan.

"Xiaolong, how about this, why don't you set up your own film and television company and cooperate with Golden Harvest to shoot this film?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Zou Wenhuai hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"Cooperation? What kind of model?" Bruce Lee asked.
