Chapter 40: A Challenge from Bruce Lee

  Kai Tak International Airport, airport hall, a man about 1.75 meters tall wearing black sunglasses and a plaid shirt pulled out a small suitcase from the crowd. As soon as Zou Wenhuai saw this man in a plaid shirt, he whispered to Wang Wei beside him: "This is Bruce Lee." Then, with a smile on his face, he walked towards the man.

  The day before yesterday, when Wang Wei sent the script of Tangshan Big Brother to Jiahe, Bruce Lee happened to call and agreed to cooperate with Jiahe. So Wang Wei immediately proposed to go to the airport with Zou Wenhuai to pick up his idol whom he had admired for a long time. Zou Wenhuai agreed to Wang Wei's request without hesitation.

  Now Wang Wei sees Zou Wen Hua walking towards the man wearing a plaid shirt, Wang Wei feels his emotions stirring, if not for his rationality constantly reminding himself to calm down, Wang Wei might have already run up to ask Li Xiao Long for an autograph.

  Wang Wei calmed down and followed Zou Wenhuai towards Li Xiaolong.

  "Little Dragon, this Hollywood star is really hard to invite." Zhou Wenhuai said with a smile from afar. In fact, when he was still at Shaw Brothers, Zhou Wenhuai had dealings with Bruce Lee and could be considered quite familiar, but at that time Zhou Wenhuai was just an employee of Shaw Brothers, whereas now he was the boss.

  Bruce Lee took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Chor Yuen: "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Brother Chor would leave Shaw Brothers to become his own boss."

  "Ah, never mind, my newly established company has been forced into a dead end by Shaw Brothers, so I still have to rely on Little Dragon to pull me through." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

  In response to Zou Wenhuai's compliment, Bruce Lee only slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything polite, because he was a very confident person at heart. And Zou Wenhuai obviously understood Bruce Lee's temperament, so he also didn't say anything.

  On the other side, Wang Wei began to quietly observe Lee Small Dragon when he took off his sunglasses. Wang Wei found that the temperament emitted by Lee Small Dragon's body was completely different from that of his master Li Yuanzhi. Li Yuanzhi was introverted and had aged, giving people a first impression of being an ordinary old man. When Lee Small Dragon took off his sunglasses, Wang Wei could feel the uninhibited and bold temperament emanating from his body. Especially in Lee Small Dragon's eyes, which occasionally emitted a fierce aura.

  Li Xiaolong nodded to Zou Wenhuai, then glanced at Wang Wei before turning back to Zou and saying, "I don't know if Brother Zou's script is ready yet." Li Xiaolong was an impatient person; otherwise he wouldn't have rushed back from the US as soon as he agreed with Jiahe.

  Zou Wenhuai apparently knew Li Xiaolong's style like the back of his hand, and smiled as he pulled out a script from his pocket and said to Li Xiaolong: "Xiaolong is indeed swift and decisive, the script is here. Let's get in the car first."

  Li Xiaolong took over Zou Wenhuai's script, then handed the suitcase in his hand to Wang Wei standing behind Zou Wenhuai, and began to read the script.

  All the way, Bruce Lee didn't say a word, just lowering his head to look at the script. It wasn't until they arrived at the Jiawu Gate that he closed the script in his hand. However, a hint of excitement was clearly visible on his face.

  Zou Wenhuai led Bruce Lee into Jiahe, while Wang Wei played the role of a follower, pulling Bruce Lee's luggage behind Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee.

  After entering Zou Wenhuai's office, Bruce Lee excitedly said to Zou Wenhuai: "Brother Zou, I think this play is tailor-made for me. The fight scenes in the play are designed very wonderfully and perfectly match my idea of what a fight scene should be like. I believe that after filming, it will definitely sell well. Also, I really want to meet the creator of this script now. I feel that the author of the script knows me too well."

  Wang Wei smiled secretly in his heart after hearing Lee's words: "Lee is notorious for changing scripts, sometimes when filming is only halfway through, Lee suddenly comes up with a brilliant idea and asks the director to modify the script. This often causes conflicts between Lee and the director. Now this script has been revised by Lee during filming, how can he be dissatisfied? If he's not satisfied, that's the problem."

  Zou Wenhuai listened to Bruce Lee's words and pointed to Wang Wei standing behind Bruce Lee, smiling and saying: "Isn't the author of the script right behind you?"

  Zou Wenhuai mentioned it, and Li Xiaolong only then noticed Wang Wei's existence. This made Wang Wei secretly think to himself: "Dragon Brother, you really are focused when doing things."

  When Lee Small Dragon saw Wang Wei at the airport, Wang Wei was standing behind Zou Wenhuai all the time. As a seasoned martial artist, Lee Small Dragon could see that Wang Wei was a practitioner's son at a glance. And from start to finish, Zou Wenhuai never introduced Wang Wei. This led Lee Small Dragon to mistakenly take Wang Wei as Zou Wenhuai's bodyguard.

  At this time, Zou Wenhuai mentioned it, and Bruce Lee realized how the bodyguard could appear in Zou Wenhuai's office.

  Zou Wen smiled and introduced Wang Wei to Bruce Lee

  "This is the screenplay of Tangshan Big Brother, Wang Wei."

  "Hello, Dragon Brother, I'm a big fan of yours. If you don't mind, you can call me Wei," Wang Wei said with a smile as he greeted Bruce Lee. Wang Wei's proactive greeting immediately reduced Bruce Lee's awkwardness, and Zou Wenhuai, who was standing beside him, flashed a look of appreciation in her eyes for Wang Wei's behavior.

  "Ah Wei, I was a bit out of line just now. You know the situation, so I treated you as my bodyguard." Li Xiaolong smiled and shook hands with Wang Wei.

  "No big deal, actually I also want to ask Long Ge about martial arts." Wang Wei shrugged, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.

  When Bruce Lee heard that Wang Wei wanted to spar with him, his eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light. For Bruce Lee, martial arts was the most important part of his life, and movies were just a medium to make martial arts known to everyone. At this moment, hearing that Wang Wei wanted to spar with him, Bruce Lee was naturally very excited.

  Bruce Lee smiled and asked Wang Wei, "I don't know what kind of fist you're learning, Ah Wei." Seeing Bruce Lee ask about his own style, Wang Wei smiled and replied, "I'm studying Yanqingquan, Bajiquan, and Baguazhang Taiji with Mr. Li Yuanzhi." As soon as Bruce Lee heard Wang Wei mention Li Yuanzhi, his eyes lit up and he said, "Ah Wei, you're talking about the Mr. Li Yuanzhi who teaches at the National Arts Academy and has written about the Bajiquan forms?"

  Wang Wei smiled and nodded: "Not bad, Mr. Li Yuanzhi is indeed my Shifu." Li Xiaolong saw Wang Wei's affirmation, the brightness in his eyes increased: "Awei, do you have time now? If so, let's find a place to spar right away."

  Bruce Lee was so excited because most of the boxing techniques he learned before were Southern Fist. Because Bruce Lee had little chance to contact Northern Fist, most of the masters or outstanding figures of Northern Fist were either in mainland China or Taiwan. From learning martial arts in Hong Kong to going to the United States to make a living, Bruce Lee had no opportunity to come into contact with these outstanding figures of Northern Fist.

  While Northern Fists are mostly refined from combat, they are more practical and have a great help to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. It is worth noting that Jeet Kune Do means the way of intercepting fist, so it also emphasizes practical combat. Therefore, when Bruce Lee heard that Wang Wei was a successor of Li Yuan, he had the idea of discussing martial arts with Wang Wei.

  In response to Bruce Lee's invitation, Wang Wei readily agreed: "I dare not ask for it, it is what I have always wished for."
