Full-time actor

Early the next morning.

The New Dong'an Cinema in Wangfujing, Beijing.

Film critic Guan Lin got up early to go to the cinema so he could be among the first to see "Bruce Lee".

He had planned to see the midnight showing, but the tickets sold out in the blink of an eye the moment they went on sale, meaning he couldn't get a ticket at all.

"It's so popular, I estimate the midnight showing has already broken records."

"It'll definitely be packed!"

Turning his head to speak to his girlfriend Xiao Mo, Guan Lin had already parked the car in the parking space.

"Hopefully, our trip wasn't in vain."

"It's so hard to get tickets for Brother Yu's movies."

Xiao Mo clasped her hands together in prayer, Chen Yu's current box office appeal was simply unmatched.

Xiao Mo has already witnessed his talent in his previous films.

But this Lunar New Year film season, everyone realized that they had underestimated him. He single-handedly outshone Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, Jay Chou, and others!

This is what it means to have a ticket that's hard to come by.

"After seeing the promotional posters, I really felt like Bruce Lee was alive today."

Guan Lin nodded after hearing what his girlfriend said.

"I heard that Brother Yu specially maintained his body fat percentage at around 5% for this role."

"This is a very extreme and difficult level to maintain."

"But Brother Yu did it."

Seeing Guan Lin's proud expression, Xiao Mo also felt a sense of anticipation.

It's unimaginable what kind of strict diet control and extremely intense training Chen Yu underwent before portraying Bruce Lee.

This is the professional quality an actor should have.

To go to such lengths for a role is rare even in the entire entertainment industry.

"The pre-sale box office has already exceeded 2 million yuan, this movie must be very good."

"Please, that's Chen Yu! I was already blown away by his martial arts scenes just from watching the promotional videos online."

"Bruce Lee is my idol, and I have to come and support him."

"..."

The two had just gotten off the car.

Then I heard people around me talking amongst themselves.

As a die-hard fan of Chen Yu, he felt proud when he heard others praising him.

The two arrived at the movie theater.

Upon seeing the scene before me, I was intimidated by the dense, dark crowd.

It's packed with people!

To borrow Teacher Benshan's words, it was a scene of deafening gongs and drums, crackling firecrackers, waving red flags, and a sea of ​​people.

Everyone was queuing up to buy "Bruce Lee".

"I can't believe how popular Brother Yu is!"

Xiao Mo's mouth was wide open, and it took her a long time to finally come to her senses.

"It seems that this time 'Bruce Lee' will break records again."

This result is beyond doubt.

The two chatted while queuing to buy tickets.

Most people are already quite excited about this movie.

Bruce Lee was originally an idol admired by many people.

"Of course."

"Better Days" grossed over 10 billion yuan in China without any existing intellectual property.

"As for Bruce Lee, a celebrity known worldwide, a biography would obviously be even more popular."

“A former fan of Bruce Lee and a kung fu movie enthusiast, as well as a supporter of Chen Yu.”

"The box office potential is far beyond what we imagined."

After hearing Guan Lin's words, Xiao Mo suddenly understood.

With the support of the Bruce Lee IP, plus Chen Yu's current popularity.

That's absolutely the level of explosive popularity.

"but--"

"I don't really care about the domestic box office; what I'm most curious about right now is how much 'Bruce Lee' will gross overseas!"

"I wonder if I can break Brother Yu's record in 'Operation Spy Shadow'!"

A full 10 billion US dollars.

It seems that Chen Yu's record can only be broken by himself.

"Hello, are you Guan Lin?"

Guan Lin paused for a moment, but then nodded seriously.

From the moment the two started chatting, the person buying tickets in front of them kept turning around to look at them. Only now, after hearing his question, did Guan Lin realize what was happening.

"Haha, I'm a fan of your film reviews."

"Your film review is really good!"

"I'm also a big fan of Brother Yu. Every time I read your film reviews, I can feel your sincerity."

Guan Lin smiled.

Chen Yu's personal charisma is evident to all.

Chen Yu truly deserves his large and devoted fanbase.

"Can I take a picture with you?"

The reason I like Guan Lin's film reviews is entirely because of the serious insight he conveys between the lines.

I never nitpick over words or use obscure technical terms.

Similarly, it will not pander to popularity by chasing trends or follow the crowd to suppress others.

In Guan Lin's film reviews, one can sense that they are not judgments.

Rather, it was an invitation for everyone to experience Chen Yu's passion.

Xiao Mo took the phone from the person in front of her.

I helped the two of them take a photo together.

After taking the phone, the person in front of me turned around again.

“I’ve been listening to you talk about Brother Yu the whole time. Now our fan group is also looking forward to the global box office of this Bruce Lee movie.”

"I believe it will be a very good result."

Guan Lin nodded.

It's not just him bragging, but anything produced by Chen Yu is guaranteed to be a masterpiece.

"must!"

After chatting for a while longer, it was finally their turn to buy tickets.

The group entered the cinema together, ready to enjoy this audiovisual feast.

Following the long queue, the two finally entered the screening room.

The entire space was already "overcrowded".

It's incomparable to mere popularity.

I've attended countless movie premieres with Guan Lin, but Chen Yu's premieres are always packed.

The venue was packed early in the morning.

In today's entertainment industry, who has that kind of talent?

Guan Lin took out his notebook and voice recorder. He was already used to this routine, and there could be no exceptions, even if the other party was his idol.

The crowd gradually entered.

The Spring Festival is a time of joy and celebration, and everyone's face is beaming with smiles.

Besides.

More than anything, there's a strong desire for the movie "Bruce Lee".

They are eager for it to be released so they can see it as soon as possible.

"When they said they were going to start filming 'Bruce Lee,' the image of Brother Yu immediately popped into my mind."

"He dared to sprint down from a 100-meter-high building; I admire his courage as a true man!"

Guan Lin was organizing the notebook in her hands.

After hearing what the person in front of me said, I had to agree.

This workaholic is truly a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry.

Hopefully, I won't let them down.

If Chen Yu can handle this big IP, his status in the entertainment industry will definitely rise ten levels.

Although his popularity is now unmatched.

As the distinctive sound of the film began, the movie started playing.

In the blink of an eye, the entire screening room fell completely silent.

Yahoo——

The entire screening room was pitch black, but the sound of fighting echoed in everyone's ears.

The image gradually became clear.

Chen Yuzheng leaped forward and kicked the foreigner in front of him.

The latter fell heavily to the ground, appearing almost unconscious.

"My God!" When Chen Yu's fierce moves appeared, the audience in the movie theater were speechless.

The momentum, the movements.

It's as if Bruce Lee has been reincarnated.

"So handsome! This image fits him perfectly."

"I heard that Brother Yu lowered his body fat percentage specifically for this movie."

"The muscles on his body look like steel."

Those around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, as all sorts of news had already been circulating during the film's promotional period.

However, seeing is believing.

That figure is absolutely amazing.

Guan Lin nodded. The reason he liked Chen Yu was precisely because Chen Yu always strived to do everything to the best of his ability.

However, dedicating oneself to art is a fundamental principle for every actor.

As a film critic, he didn't feel the need to give it special praise.

But as a fan of Chen Yu, I really have to give him a thumbs up.

Especially the filming and editing techniques used this time.

This is what Guan Lin is most concerned about.

I heard that the filming location of "Enter the Dragon" is used as a narrative point, and the philosophy of martial arts is presented to everyone through flashbacks and reality.

"Today I'm going to make this sick man from East Asia kiss my butt."

Angry roars rang in his ears, and the next second several foreigners lifted Chen Yu into the air, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks.

My face swelled up instantly.

This scene was so breathtaking that everyone who saw it covered their eyes.

"This looks like a real fight; the sound of fists hitting flesh is so realistic."

"In Brother Yu's movies, there's practically no fake fighting, okay?"

"But I really admire him. Other actors would definitely have to use a stunt double."

Guan Lin whispered in his girlfriend's ear.

But his eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of him.

Anyone who knows Bruce Lee is aware of the unfair treatment he suffered in his childhood.

Just by seeing this, Guan Lin knew what the movie wanted to express.

With this in mind, Guan Lin's eyes hardened.

These two clips alone made him feel as if Bruce Lee was right in front of him.

Then, several exciting fight scenes came into view.

At this point, Bruce Lee had already broken into Hollywood, but due to unfair treatment, he repeatedly suffered unexpected setbacks.

Even though his martial arts skills had already surpassed those of others.

At this point, Chen Yu's portrayal of Bruce Lee has become fully developed.

This man, who sought to shatter Western stereotypes about East Asian men, was a complete disruptor with top-tier combat capabilities.

He wasn't just an actor playing a master; he was a true martial artist.

Guan Lin quickly and quietly recorded the audio.

I already felt a deep admiration for Chen Yu.

"Use the formless as form, use the infinite as finite!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The entire film seemed to be elevated at this moment!

……

"Bruce, stop hitting him."

On the big screen, Chen Yu's speed was almost imperceptible.

Punch to the flesh.

The person in front of them had absolutely no chance to defend themselves.

He then delivered a spinning kick that knocked his opponent down.

This scene was filmed during the movie "Enter the Dragon" by Bruce Lee, where he needed his opponent to perform a realistic and rapid block.

At this moment, his opponent, actor Saxon, was already suffering terribly.

"Excuse me, Bruce."

"This is a movie shoot, not real fighting!"

Director Robert, with a helpless yet pleading expression, fixed the camera on Chen Yu's face.

His gaze was firm, yet he still maintained an extreme pursuit of perfection in this area.

The scene then flashes back.

It was Ip Man who appeared.

"The highest level of martial arts is to imagine oneself as water."

"Only by melting oneself into nothingness and becoming formless and without basis can one truly step into the path of martial arts."

Bruce Lee looked at his master.

At that moment, he still couldn't understand the meaning of those words.

Little did he know that Jeet Kune Do, which he later created by integrating various schools of thought, originated from Ip Man's theory of water.

As Chen Yu's figure grew smaller and smaller.

He seemed to be pondering some question, or perhaps he was caught up in a struggle with his own identity.

It must be said that this detail was handled very well.

By weaving together memories and reality, the story allows us to understand Bruce Lee's exploration and unwavering dedication to martial arts.

"So handsome!"

"Brother Yu truly deserves to be called a kung fu superstar with a global reputation."

"These moves are simply dazzling."

People around me have already started praising it lavishly.

Guan Lin had to give a thumbs up; the self-exploration in this part of the story truly made people feel Chen Yu's pursuit of excellence in martial arts.

Until the final scene abruptly ended.

The final ending is Bruce Lee's unfinished film.

The scene freezes on the unfinished script of "Game of Death," as if narrating Bruce Lee's life.

He ultimately failed to reach the level he sought.

pat!

The theater lights came on, and everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

The movie is over!
This scene left everyone speechless for a long time.

Chen Yu's fight scenes in "Bruce Lee" are no longer just simple action movies.

Chen Yu imbued every fight with a soul.

It has risen to the level of philosophy, art, and the idea of ​​global martial arts unity.

In particular, Chen Yu captured the charm of martial arts art in his film.

In that final moment, it was as if he were exploring the profound thoughts behind Bruce Lee's lifelong philosophy.

This greatly shocked Guan Lin.

"Is it over?"

"Brother Yu is really solid; he practically brought Bruce Lee to life."

“His superb acting skills can be seen in every martial arts move.”

Inside the cinema, people lingered for a long time before leaving.

Many people are captivated by Chen Yu's martial arts aesthetics.

Moments later, the entire theater erupted in thunderous applause.

At this moment, people were not just giving Chen Yu a thumbs up.

It's all for the legendary Bruce Lee!

Guan Lin gazed at Chen Yu's imposing face on the screen. In this movie, he had captured the essence and beauty of martial arts.

There's also the reflection on martial arts.

He truly became one with Bruce Lee.

So much so that in the final scene, when Chen Yu's gaze was fixed on the distance, his eyes piercing through the sky, he actually exuded a sense of grandmastery.

Unfortunately--

Everyone knows the fate of this master.

Bruce Lee's untimely death meant that his final achievements were never realized.

Isn't this a kind of regret?

It was precisely this point that made Guan Lin subconsciously applaud.

The regrets in life become the highlight of this film.

That's clearly the true intention of this film.

When Guan Lin came to his senses again, he had already left the movie theater.

The cold wind swept in, but it did not calm his passionate emotions.

Chen Yu and Bruce Lee seemed to appear before me.

The sharp kung fu moves intertwined with the deep background music, making his heart surge even more... (End of this chapter)
