Chapter 376 Fighting between Dragon and Tiger
"Bruce Lee."

The young man stretched out his hand proudly.

Sure enough, everyone has a unique temperament, but Bruce Lee is definitely one of those people who can still be remembered for decades after his death.

His real name is Li Zhenfan. He was born in San Francisco, the United States. Later, he followed his parents back to Hong Kong to live and study. After high school, he went to the United States to attend college and became an actor.

But at that time, the United States had the Chinese Exclusion Act. How could a Chinese person get ahead?

Although he was skilled in kung fu, he had no place to use his skills. The only influence he had in Hollywood was a supporting role in "The Green Hornet", so he returned to Hong Kong at the invitation of Shaw Brothers.

It's just that Mr. Shaw thought the price he asked was too high, $1 for a movie, and the shooting time of a movie could not exceed 60 days, and he had to be satisfied with the script, etc., and he would not accept any bargaining.

From the first moment he saw him, Wang Deming knew that he was a very proud and confident person.

However, he is also someone who deserves Wang Deming's respect.

"I am a few years older than you, so can I call you Xiaolong?" Wang Deming was very gentle and shook hands with Bruce Lee with a smile on his face. It was not a perfunctory touch, but the handshake lasted for a while.

Bruce Lee was not tall, only about 1 meters, while Wang Deming was 7 meters tall. Although he was wearing a fitted suit, one could still feel the explosive power from the latissimus dorsi muscles on his shoulders.

Wang Deming noticed that Bruce Lee's palms and fists had thick calluses, and he was undoubtedly a martial arts fanatic. However, although he was an excellent martial artist, he did not know how to take care of his body.

Bruce Lee was also observing Wang Deming at the same time. He was very tall, with bright eyes. Although his suit was slim, from the exposed part of his neck and the shape of the suit, it could be seen that his latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major were particularly well-developed.

"Mr. Wang is also a martial artist?" Bruce Lee said bluntly.

"Haha, I've practiced some traditional Chinese martial arts before, but I can't compare to you, Xiaolong." Wang Deming let go of his hand and said with a smile, "It's just to keep fit. I heard that you were a judge at the American Karate Conference?"

"They also showed some Chinese Kung Fu afterwards, which really brought glory to us Chinese!"

Bruce Lee was very pleased with Wang Deming's exaggeration, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips were bent into a bowstring.

"Come on, let's go in and talk while we walk. I'll also show you how martial arts films are made in Hong Kong nowadays."

The few people naturally split into two groups, one group consisting of Wang Deming, Bruce Lee, Li Hanxiang and others, and the other group consisting of Zhang Shouchun and Lin Yanni, and they walked into the Han and Tang Film and Television City one after the other.

Because of the rise of martial arts films from the late 60s to the present, not only Chunqiu Films itself, but also Shaw Brothers and the previous Cathay, and because the filming of Cantonese opera films in Hong Kong requires ancient backgrounds, there are many crews coming to Han Tang Film and Television City to shoot movies.

Soon after I came in, I saw a Cantonese opera movie being filmed and a group of people were watching around.

This attraction is a replica of the Empress's residence in the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty, the Pepper Room Hall. Inside, two Cantonese opera performers in bright red dragon-style robes are singing a duet, and a camera is slowly rotating around them on a track.

The lighting technician also adjusted the lighting position according to the positions of the two actors.

The stagehand, wearing a shirt with many pockets, was holding a notebook and pointing at the people around him.

As for the director, he was eating noodles with a bowl and nodding as he ate.

"Uh, is this how movies are made in Hong Kong now?" Bruce Lee was stunned when he saw this scene. He was not a newcomer in the film industry. He had starred in a movie in Hong Kong when he was only 6 years old.

Li Hanxiang glanced into the palace and laughed, "Xiaolong, are you looking for work? Cantonese opera is like this, basically one play every seven days. Being able to shoot a movie in the Han Palace is already a big production."

"As for the director, we have a name for the Cantonese opera director in our industry, which is called a bowl of noodles."

"A bowl of noodles?"

"That's right, after arranging a shot, you can eat noodles with peace of mind. After the Cantonese opera actors finish singing and dancing, there is just enough time to eat a bowl of noodles. Look, this shot has been filmed." Just as he finished speaking, the director took the last bite of noodles, handed the bowl of noodles to the stagehand beside him, took the script from the stagehand, flipped through it casually, and then explained the play to the Cantonese opera actors. The photographer, along with the laborers and lighting technicians, hurried to the next venue in advance.

There was nothing exciting to watch, so the crowd dispersed.

"Sister Hongwei, this way." Li Hanxiang had sharp eyes and saw Hongwei jogging towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Shouchun." Hong Wei ran over, still a little out of breath. "I'm sorry, something happened at the film and television city just now and I need to go take care of it."

"Sister Hongwei, why are you being so polite?"

Zhang Shouchun held her arm affectionately, "We brought some friends here to hang out. I didn't plan to tell you, but then I thought I wouldn't let you worry, so I called. Yuqing said that the Sunny Sky Company you're managing is thriving."

"It has little to do with me. Mr. Wang has planned everything in advance. I just make sure there are no problems and the accounts are in order." Although Sunny Sky Advertising Company is not under Zhang Shouchun's name, she knows Wang Deming's three wives too well.

She and Zhang Cuiying often went to Wang Deming's house to play mahjong, and they had also been to the luxury mansion on the Peak. These three wives really had no tendency to engage in infighting within the wealthy family, at least none had been discovered so far.

"You are so polite. What happened?"

Hong Wei glanced at Wang Deming and said a little embarrassedly: "The movie that Changnian and Weinian are filming has had some conflicts with the martial arts masters."

"Hey, is there anyone who dares to bully our company's actors?" Zhang Shouchun turned around and asked Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan: "What kind of movies are Changnian and Weinian making now?"

"It seems to be a martial arts film directed by Jiang Nan's second brother. It's about the best sword in the world, and he has two swords."

"That's great, let's go and take a look together." Wang Deming smiled and said nothing.

No matter how old they are, in the eyes of their mother, children are children. After graduating from Wah Yan College in Hong Kong, Hong Wei's two sons, Yan Changnian and Yan Weinian, did not continue their studies at university, but went straight into the film and television industry.

Currently working as an actor at Chunqiu Film Company.

By the way, Li Hanxiang gave Yan Changnian his stage name: Qin Pei. Yan Weinian's stage name is: Jiang David.

The two brothers were filming at the Tang Palace, and they were in no hurry. Wang Deming had a close relationship with Master Chen Zhanxiang and often asked for advice, so he was particularly familiar with the various palaces and streets in the Han and Tang Film and Television City.

Along the way, I explained to them the characteristics and styles of the Han and Tang Dynasty palaces, interspersed with historical references and so on.

Let the group of people worship it specially.

Bruce Lee had a completely American mindset and said directly, "Wow, Mr. Wang, you know a lot! When I was a child, there weren't so many magnificent buildings in Hong Kong."

"Haha, I also had some ideas behind building the ancient buildings from the Han and Tang dynasties first." Wang Deming looked at Bruce Lee and his group. Bruce Lee's family actually represented the current situation of middle-class families in Hong Kong at that time. They had been highly westernized.

"No matter what? No matter where we are, we should never forget our roots, the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties!"

"Mr. Wang, you are this!" Bruce Lee gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Mr. Wang, it's just in front." Hongwei pointed forward.

Everyone followed her finger and saw from afar that two film crews were competing to see who was less afraid of death, constantly performing dangerous actions similar to parkour. They jumped directly down from a palace pillar that was over ten meters high, with a few old cardboard boxes underneath.

King Hu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up, "Is that the crew from Lo Wei's group over there?"

"I know that flexible fat guy. He was my martial arts instructor when I was filming 'Drunken Master'."
