"Mr. Cao, what I pay most attention to is the film market in Taipei, Britain and the United States, especially Hollywood. It is the target of our study in Hong Kong City, so I am quite familiar with it. As for the Bruce Lee you mentioned, I have never heard of it.
”
"Impossible? Maybe sir, you are not familiar with it, so you didn't think of it for a while?"
Cao Weidong retorted.
Bruce Lee, formerly known as Li Zhenfan, was born in San Francisco in 1940.
When he was young, Bruce Lee lived in Hong Kong and filmed more than 20 Hong Kong movies. During this period, he also became a disciple of Ip Man and learned Wing Chun.
This laid the foundation for the later creation of Jeet Kune Do.
Around 1959, Bruce Lee went to the United States to study.
In order to continue to improve his martial arts, he also opened the "Zhenfan Chinese Martial Arts Center" on campus, where he met his future wife Linda.
After graduation, Bruce Lee also made a name for himself in Hollywood, starring in works such as "The Green Hornet" and becoming a rare Chinese actor in Hollywood at the time.
However, due to racial discrimination and other reasons at the time, Bruce Lee's development in Hollywood was somewhat unsatisfactory.
It is absolutely impossible for Zou Wenhuai not to know such a person.
Cao Weidong felt that Zou Wenhuai had most likely heard of this person, but he had forgotten it for a while.
This is the most reasonable explanation.
Zou Wenhuai hesitated.
"Is that so? Maybe..."
He also wanted to elaborate.
Suddenly there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside.
"Mr. Zou was kidnapped just now. I saw him running in this direction..."
"Who is so bold and dares to kidnap Mr. Zou in our territory? Mr. Liu was alarmed and said that Mr. Zou must be brought back..."
"Master Liu said that no matter who the kidnapper is or what his background is, he will live or die."
Zou Wenhuai's expression changed and he lowered his voice and said.
"It's broken. Someone must have seen this guy kidnapping me just now. Now the employees of Shaw Brothers Studios are looking for me. You hide quickly and I'll go out and deal with it."
"Mr. Cao, please give me an address and I will find you in the evening. Let's talk in detail."
As the saying goes, this time and that time.
Zou Wenhuai was persuaded by Cao Weidong and decided to join the gang. Naturally, he could not let Cao Weidong be caught.
Under his guidance, Cao Weidong and Brother Huangniu hid.
Then Zou Wenhuai took the initiative to walk out.
"I'm here..."
Hearing Zou Wenhuai's voice, a group of burly men with sinister faces rushed in.
They were relieved to see that Zou Wenhuai was safe.
"Great, Mr. Zou is fine."
"Mr. Zou, did you see clearly who kidnapped you? Don't worry, we will definitely find that kid and cut him into pieces..."
Zou Wenhuai glanced secretly inside the room, then smiled kindly.
"It's nothing, it was just a misunderstanding. The person recognized the wrong person and ran away when he realized that the target was wrong. By the way, he just jumped over the wall and ran south. You can go and take a look."
.......
Brother Huang Niu looked out quietly through the crack in the door.
He was obviously frightened by this situation and was shaking.
"Boss, if you are caught by this group of people, you will have to give me more money."
Cao Weidong was so surprised that he was not laughed out of anger by Brother Scalper.
Are you still thinking of adding more money at this time?
Don’t worry if you have a life to make money, but not a life to spend.
He said angrily.
"It's not you, we won't be like this."
Brother, are you still thinking about money at this time?
He said angrily.
"If it weren't for you, how could we be in such a mess?"
Brother Huangniu touched his head and chuckled.
At this time, everyone outside had left, but for the sake of safety, Cao Weidong and Brother Huang Niu decided to stay here for a while longer.
Perhaps out of boredom, Cao Weidong took a serious look at Brother Huang Niu for the first time.
He suddenly discovered that this guy looked quite energetic.
And it’s very joyful.
Maybe not as good as the four kings of Hong Kong City.
But it’s not even close.
Especially because the other party has an extremely well-proportioned figure due to exercise and exercise, he is the type who looks thin when dressed and looks fat when undressed.
Cao Weidong couldn't help but ask: "Why do you become a scalper?"
The scalper brother asked: "Boss, you have been calling me a scalper just now. What exactly is a scalper?"
Cao Weidong was stunned and explained a few words to him.
Brother Huang Niu said nonchalantly.
"It's just to make money. This business makes money fast."
"Oh, then why do you want to make money?"
Brother scalper looked at Cao Weidong like a fool and said: "What's wrong with making money? I'm born to love money, and I don't steal or rob, nor do I join a gang, so I can make steady money." p>
The corners of Cao Weidong's mouth twitched.
I think you may not be very good at this job.
After a pause, Cao Weidong suddenly had an idea in his mind and said.
"Brother, what's your name?"
"Chen Wu, just call me Xiao Wu."
"Xiao Wu, you just heard that I plan to open a film company, why don't you come and make movies for me?"
Chen Wu was really surprised now.
"Boss, I don't know how to make movies either?"
Cao Weidong became more and more satisfied with Chen Wu.
He felt that if Chen Wu's strengths could be used, he might be able to form a unique comedy style.
Such as Jackie Chan's snake-shaped hands.
Or Jet Li’s Fang Shiyu.
"It's okay. In fact, there are no requirements for making a movie. As long as you dare to fight and work hard, the most important thing is that you can make money quickly from making movies."
Chen Wu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that the money was coming quickly.
"I did it."
.......
As autumn comes, night falls earlier and earlier. Although it is only six o'clock, it is already very dark.
"Get off work?"
"Yeah, let's have a drink together tonight?"
"No, it can't be helped. You know how my family is doing, and we must control it strictly."
A group of extras walked out of the movie theater frolicking.
Cao Weidong and Chen Wu mingled in the crowd and walked out openly.
After changing his clothes, Cao Weidong took Chen Wu to have a good meal.
Then I learned about Chen Wu’s family life.
Chen Wu is an orphan. When he grew up, he followed Ip Man to practice martial arts. Later, he left his mentor and went on his own. He is the type of person who can feed the whole family without worrying about it.
Cao Weidong put down his bowl and chopsticks in surprise.
"You actually learned martial arts from Mr. Ip Man?"
Chen Wu gnawed on the chicken leg and said casually: "Yes, I studied with my husband for three years and then left."
"Then you should know Bruce Lee, right? Oh, he should have been called Li Zhenfan at that time."
Chen Wu scratched his head.
"I don't know."
"Teacher has many disciples, but I don't know them all."
Mr. Ip Man left Foshan in 1949 to settle in Hong Kong and served as the colonel of the Southern District Patrol Team of the Garrison Headquarters. In the following more than 20 years, he successively served in the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Employees General Union, Ruzhou Street, Kowloon, and Lei Cheng Uk Estate.
Tung Choi Street and other places have set up schools to teach apprentices, and martial arts practitioners with them come from all walks of life, including many foreign students.
Seeing Cao Weidong's interest, Chen Wu told him interesting stories about his studies, and Cao Weidong listened with great interest.
It was not until eight or nine o'clock in the evening that Cao Weidong took Chen Wu away and went to the designated place to meet Zou Wenhuai.
