Rebirth of Hong Kong Island: The Kung Fu Movie King's Extra Practice

Chapter 5 I am more like Bruce Lee than you are
It turns out that in this era, Wu Siyuan's film career had just started, and most viewers only heard of his name but didn't know who he was.

He made a kung fu movie "The Snake-shaped Hand" which was released not long ago. Even the leading actor Cheng Long was borrowed from the action movie director Luo Wei. Fortunately, "The Snake-shaped Hand" had a good reputation and made a small fortune. .

Wu Siyuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your support of Kung Fu movies!"

Chen Fei's heart moved. His previous life graduated from a film school and read countless films. He still had a certain understanding of Xiangjiang filmmakers.

No wonder he felt so familiar with this gentleman in front of him. It turned out to be the great director Wu Siyuan when he was young.

Just as he was about to reply to Wu Siyuan, Chen Fei suddenly turned his head and shouted.

"stop!"

Everyone followed the sound and realized that it was the robber who had fallen on the ground and got up secretly and ran away.

"Forget it, let him go!" Wu Siyuan shook his head.

"Anyway, it's just a false alarm, nothing to lose."

Uncle Bo patted Chen Fei on the shoulder with his chubby hand.

He encouraged: "It's a rare opportunity to work with Director Wu. It's a rare opportunity. Go for it!"

Chen Fei also had a deep affection for Wu Siyuan's movies, so he nodded and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"Thank you, Director Wu. Then we will see you tomorrow."

Wu Siyuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, then it's settled, see you there or not!"

He looked at his watch again and said, "I'm in a hurry to go to a meeting. Let's meet tomorrow and talk in detail."

He said goodbye to everyone politely and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the incident was over, the onlookers dispersed one after another.

Chen Fei said goodbye to two enthusiastic elders, Lao Ye and Uncle Bo.

Go back to get back your own pole and vegetable basket, and set foot on the way home.

……

Wu Siyuan walked not far away and saw a phone booth on the side of the road, so he couldn't wait to go in and make a call.

As soon as the call was connected, Wu Siyuan said excitedly:
"Master Ba, it's done. I've found the ideal candidate for the lead role in the new movie."

The call was made to his partner Yuan Heping.

Yuan Heping comes from a martial arts family. His father Yuan Xiaotian is a well-known veteran martial arts instructor. He has filmed many Huang Feihong martial arts movies and is quite influential in the Hong Kong film industry.

Ba Ye is Yuan Heping's nickname, firstly because he is the eighth among brothers.

Second, he has looked old since he was a child. His brothers and friends joked that he looked like a slow grandpa, so they all nicknamed him Ba Ye.

Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping have just collaborated on a kung fu film "The Snake", starring Cheng Long, a newcomer to kung fu films. After its release, it sold well at the box office and the market response was quite good.

So the two decided to pursue their victory and make the Kung Fu movie "Drunken Master", using a comedy style to reinterpret the legendary story of Wong Fei Hung.

Wu Siyuan is responsible for producing and writing the script, while Yuan Heping is responsible for directing and action guidance.

In order to ensure the success of the battle, Yuan Heping's father Yuan Xiaotian was specially invited to join the crew again.

Unexpectedly, everything was ready and filming was about to start, but the progress was stuck on the issue of starring.

Wu Siyuan and Yuan Heping originally wanted Cheng Long to continue playing the leading role in the new movie.

Cheng Long's acting contract is in the hands of the veteran director Luo Wei. He signed an eight-year contract when he debuted. He also borrowed it from Luo Wei when he made "Snake".

Unexpectedly, this time, Luo Wei flatly refused!
This Luo Wei is also the famous director who discovered Bruce Lee. He has always had a great temper. There is no room for negotiation on anything he disagrees with.

This made Wu Siyuan and Wu Siyuan so anxious that their eyes were filled with smoke.

"Haha, Si Yuan, why did you suddenly speak so fast?" Yuan Heping was a little curious on the other end of the phone.

What happened to make this usually gentle and calm man so excited?
……

Time is as hurried as footsteps, and an afternoon passed quickly.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Fei returned to his home in Yuen Long District, New Territories.

Two gray-white huts are half-hidden between the shade of trees and banana leaves.

Every time he saw the outline of this home from a distance, his heart was filled with warmth.

Chen Fei put the vegetable basket and pole outside the house and dusted himself off.

When he gently opened the door and entered, he saw his mother sitting on a wicker chair near the door of the living room, half-squinting her eyes, and carefully mending clothes.

As soon as she saw her son coming home, the mother's thin face also bloomed with warmth.

"Mom, I bought you a red bean cake on the way."

Chen Fei handed the packaged bowl of cake to his mother.He knew that his mother loved desserts, so he packed them back from a time-honored dessert shop.

Mom looked at Chen Fei sweating profusely, her eyes full of love.

"Okay, okay, Fei, drink some water and take a rest."

Chen Fei was walking to the bathroom to fetch water and wash his face when he suddenly heard several familiar coughs outside the house.

It turned out that Chen's father was back, and he immediately hurried out to greet him.

The old man couldn't sit still and used to walk to the vegetable garden every day to inspect.

When I came back, I walked to the big tree in front of the door, sat down, lit a cigarette and smoked it.

While frowning, he gently hit his knees with his hands.

"Dad, are your legs okay?" Chen Fei asked with concern.

"Oh, Ah Fei is back?" Chen's father raised his head and his brows relaxed.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's an old habit."

He comforted his son repeatedly, as if nothing happened as soon as he saw his son.

Chen Fei helped his father up and when they walked into the house together, he saw that the old man's steps were slightly staggering.

He thought to himself secretly.

"It seems like we should make some money as soon as possible and give dad's leg some good treatment."

……

Before dinner, Chen Fei used to take a walk around the house.

As we walked, we walked up the hillside of the back mountain.

"Yes, go and chat with Wu Siyuan on time tomorrow."

He sat down on a leisure chair on the roadside and made up his mind secretly.

On the way home in the afternoon, he thought about it all the way.

From Wu Siyuan to the script of "Drunken Master", Chen Fei had a premonition that there should be an opportunity to participate in the performance of this movie.

Perhaps it was his skill that impressed Wu Siyuan, and he was willing to arrange a small role for himself.

In the memory of his previous life, he was well aware of the influence of "Drunken Master", which was Cheng Long's take-off work and the pioneering work of kung fu comedy.

As a result, Chenglong's career has been bright and prosperous, and he has gained both fame and fortune.

Later he became an international superstar in action movies and even won an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

It is also a joy in life to be able to cooperate with Chenglong when he was young.

At the same time, it can also solve the problem of making money to treat elderly parents.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Reborn in this era, there may be many paths to choose, but there are also many uncertain variables.

Then take the clearest path at the moment.

Chen Fei thought to himself.

Gradually, the sunset has set, and the clouds in the distance seem to be burned red by fire.

The moon also showed its gray-white outline unconsciously.

The hillside was quiet.

Chen Fei stretched and prepared to go down the mountain and go home for dinner.

Suddenly I heard the noisy voices of two boys on the other side of the hillside.

He walked slowly that way curiously.

I saw two teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old arguing.

The boy in the white shirt drooped his eyebrows, pouted with grievance, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Why do you always play Bruce Lee, but you want me to play the bad guy, Xingzi?"

Standing opposite him was a young man with a tough head and a strong brain.

Wearing a yellow tights, she outlines her voluptuous lines.

He stared a pair of black eyes: "Oh, Wei Zi, I am more like Bruce Lee than you."
