Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?
Chapter 719 Farewell
Chapter 719 Farewell
At 7 o'clock in the evening, when the lights are on, Musashinokan in Shinjuku is a landmark movie theater in Tokyo. It is small in size but very stylish. It seems to be called avant-garde art.
At this moment, at the entrance of the cinema, there are two huge posters hanging on one left and one on the right. The pictures show a middle-aged white man wearing a top hat and a mask and a young Asian man wearing a blindfold.
On the poster, it was marked in both English and Japanese, the latest Hollywood action blockbuster Green Hornet.
This "Green Hornet" is Bruce Lee's first film of pure Hollywood blood in the true sense. In the movie, he played the second male lead, the assistant of the Green Hornet, Kato from Japan.
This movie is also the beginning of Bruce Lee becoming an international superstar. This movie hit the street, but Bruce Lee's chic skills are remembered by many movie fans.
After that, he hibernated for a few years, and then he soared to the sky with "Big Brother Tangshan".
The movie "The Green Hornet" has already been released in the United States, and the response is mediocre, but it is not well-received, but Bruce Lee in the supporting role is very brilliant.
Because Bruce Lee played a Japanese kung fu master in the movie, the film company specially arranged for him to come to Tokyo to promote it this time.
Two days ago, when Du Weiguo and Momoyo went out to purchase supplies together, they accidentally saw the promotional poster of the movie.
As soon as Du Weiguo, who is rich and powerful, saw Brother Xiaolong, he became temperamental at that time, and spent a lot of money, directly entrusting the manager of the Musashinokan Cinema to book special shows for 13 nearby cinemas for a full two weeks.
There are 13 movie theaters with a total of 34 screens, 6 shows a day, and a total of 2856 shows. One person contributed more than 600 million yen, which is about more than 5 US dollars in the box office.
The tyrannical Du Daguan spends real money and asks for only one, and each game must attract no less than 70% of the audience.
Damn, free movie tickets, and it's a Hollywood blockbuster, so there's no reason why no one will watch it.
So today, Brother Xiaolong's premiere in Tokyo turned into a meeting between him and the sponsor's father.
Du Weiguo also thought of a very interesting idea, "Brother Tangshan", which Xiaolong became famous in the first battle, but it took 4 years before it was successfully filmed.
Now with the random entry of his big moth, next year or even this year, the filming can be started directly.
Du Weiguo really has no shortage of money now. Yesterday morning, Chihuo Tsukamoto came to his door specially and sent him a financial report of the flour business made by the actuary of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
The income from the flour business of the Yamaguchi-gumi is estimated to be about US$8000 million in the first year, and Du Weiguo accounts for 2400%, which is about US$ million.
This is only the first year, and it will increase year by year in the future. It is expected to reach the first peak in 3 years, when the profit is expected to be no less than 2 million US dollars.
To be clear, it is now 1966, and this amount of money is really considered gold and silver.
How much was the box office of Bruce Lee's famous work "Big Brother Tangshan" in 1971? 319 million Hong Kong dollars, just over 40 U.S. dollars, Du Weiguo didn't care about this amount at all.
The key is that he can make Brother Xiaolong become an international superstar at least 4 years in advance, and at the same time, he can find an errand for Zhao Yingnan.
A film company, filming, this is a very good choice. In Hong Kong Island, who dares to move a film company under the shadow of God?
Du Weiguo also dressed very flamboyantly today, with a custom-made navy blue double-breasted suit and a waistcoat with a lapel collar of the same color.
Inside is a snow-white shirt, no tie, shiny leather boots, and a Vacheron Constantin mechanical men's watch on his wrist.
The extravagance is compelling, coupled with Du Weiguo's good looks, it is much more dazzling than any male movie star.
Du Weiguo's female partner today is naturally Momoyo Sakurai who has been well-dressed and dressed up to attend. She specially wore a black one-piece dress today.
She also styled her hair to look a little more mature, and matched it with a pair of high heels, her temperament immediately came up, bright and charming, and extremely beautiful.
Du Weiguo's bodyguard was wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses. Du Nan was a tall man with a stern face.
Before leaving, Du Weiguo asked him not to say a word during the whole process. His main role today is the humanoid transporter.
The black leather travel bag in his hand contained a big and plump fox.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the cinema, the manager of the Musashinokan greeted him at the entrance, with a respectful and obsequious attitude.
A hero like Du Weiguo spent 5 US dollars just to watch a movie. Who would dare to belittle such a father of the God of Wealth?The manager didn't kneel down to greet him, so he has some backbone.
"Mr. Wesley, you are here. We have already discussed with Mr. Bruce Lee. For today's movie, only you and your companions will be accepted in the theater. The public premiere will be held tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo frowned: "Uh~ Has Mr. Bruce Li arrived yet?"
To be honest, Du Weiguo was actually somewhat scratching his head when it came to meeting Bruce Lee alone.
Besides, Bruce Lee is just a movie actor after all. I have even seen the old man who walks like a dragon and a tiger in person, and his level is different.
The theater manager replied very respectfully:
"Yes, sir, he has arrived and is waiting for you in the theater with Warner's producer, Mr. Kurt."
Du Weiguo secretly sighed, his tone somewhat impatient:
"Okay, Manager Fujishima, you go and dismiss that producer named Kurt, I want to have a private chat with Mr. Bruce Lee."
"Er, yes, sir, as you wish."
Manager Fujishima hesitated for a moment, and immediately made a decision. He is just a low-level producer of Warner Corporation. In front of the real funder, he is no bullshit!
In 10 minutes, in the empty theater, Du Weiguo saw Bruce Lee who was as tough as steel.
"Hello, Brother Long, my name is Wesley, and I like your movies very much."
Du Weiguo strode towards him, stretched out his hand actively, and spoke a bit jerky Cantonese.
Bruce Lee's original face was a bit cold and hard, but Du Weiguo deliberately dismissed Kurt, which inevitably reminded him of some very dirty rules in the circle.
But seeing Du Weiguo with his female companion and bodyguards, he immediately felt relieved, especially after hearing the familiar accent, his brows and eyes immediately relaxed.
There was a smile on Li Xiaolong's face, and he stretched out his hand, and shook Du Weiguo tightly. Just about to say something polite, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and snorted unconsciously:
"Ok?"
The moment he shook hands, he felt that Du Weiguo's hand seemed to contain endless surging power. Although there was no force, it was already touching.
Li Xiaolong is a martial idiot, seeing Lie Xinxi, he twisted his waist and swung his hips almost without thinking, and immediately increased the strength in his hands.
Bruce Lee was born in Wing Chun boxing. He emphasized that power starts from the ground, sends out from the heels, passes to the legs, dominates from the waist, and travels through the fingers.
Even though he created Jeet Kune Do later on, he still respected the principle of exerting force from the whole body. With a slight swing of his waist, the veins on his palms suddenly burst, and a huge force was immediately transmitted to Du Weiguo's hands.
Yo, is Brother Xiaolong wanting to practice with me?Du Weiguo couldn't help but smile. His current strength attribute is indeed the most hip-boggling attribute among measurements, only three times that of ordinary people.
However, the attribute of strength has never been a single attribute. It is combined with Du Weiguo's super physique, and Zhuo Yuan's reaction ability and force-exerting skills.
Within the scope of normal people, he can definitely shout invincible!
Brother Xiaolong was indeed a top martial artist, but he was just an ordinary human being. He wanted to break through the limit, so he died suddenly at the age of 33.
The human threshold is not so easy to break through.
Brother Xiaolong's big hand instantly became like cast iron, like a vice, biting Du Weiguo's hand fiercely.
However, Du Weiguo's expression was light and calm, and he didn't really use his hand, but just pushed it out slightly.
Bruce Lee felt that the big hand he was holding was like a rock, no matter how hard he exerted it, it would still remain motionless.
Although Bruce Lee is a martial idiot, he is not a fool, and he also knows the truth of the point. He quickly retracted his strength and let go of his hand, and his tone became more warm:
"Mr. Wesley, I didn't expect that you are still a practitioner. What kind of kung fu do you practice? Eagle Claw Kung Fu? Or Iron Sand Palm?"
Du Weiguo spread out his palms, his fingers were slender and fair, although they were strong and powerful, there was no trace of external kung fu practice.
Du Weiguo's tone was very gentle:
"Brother Long laughed at me. I'm not a trainer, but I'm born with rough skin and thick flesh. I've only practiced country style for two days."
Bruce Lee laughed happily:
"Hahaha! Mr. Wesley, you are too modest. If you play in the country, then I will become a clown!"
Du Weiguo's tone was steady:
"Brother Long, let's sit down and watch the movie first, and chat while watching. I can't wait to appreciate your masterpiece."
"Okay, by the way, Mr. Wesley, thank you for your strong support, otherwise my trip to Japan will definitely have a bad box office result."
Brother Xiaolong's tone was a little lonely. At present, Westerners' impression of Huaxia people is still that of a man with a sallow complexion, dull eyes, and a pig's tail behind his head.
He performed exceptionally well in this movie, even overwhelming the protagonist, but in the white supremacist Hollywood, no one cares about him.
Even Dongying, who is also of Asian descent, heard that the starring Kato was a Chinese, and the audience in Dongying felt conflicted and lost all interest.
Huaxia has been weak for a hundred years, and it is indeed not a matter of overnight to change the inherent impression.
Du Weiguo patted Brother Xiaolong on the shoulder, his tone full of pride:
"Brother Xiaolong, there is an old saying in China, don't bully young people and be poor, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I can guarantee that you will become the most famous action star in the world in less than 3 years!"
"Oh? You have so much confidence in me?" Bruce Lee raised his brows, his tone was a bit puzzled, Du Weiguo smiled and nodded, his tone was firm:
"That's right, Brother Long, I have 100% confidence in you. Not only do I have confidence, but I also plan to tailor an action movie for you this year with a Chinese as the leading protagonist!"
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
Hearing this, Bruce Lee jumped up, his tone of surprise was inexplicable. His biggest dream all along was not to make money and become famous, but to change the weak image of the Chinese.
Du Weiguo nodded calmly, with a calm tone:
"It's true, Brother Long, isn't my sincerity not enough?"
At this moment, just as the movie was starting to show, Du Weiguo turned towards the screen and pouted lightly. Bruce Lee sat down slowly, his eyes full of surprises.
That's right, if you don't really appreciate him, who would spend 5 dollars to name and support a movie in which he starred in a supporting role? This sincerity is absolutely full!
"Okay, I believe you."
Brother Xiaolong's tone was solemn, and the corners of Du Weiguo's mouth turned up. Instead of continuing to speak, he turned his attention to the big screen.
To be honest, the movie "The Green Hornet" is really mediocre, the plot lines are very vulgar, and the service is also very rubbish. The only bright spot is the action scenes of Brother Xiaolong.
However, Du Weiguo has been traveling for more than two years, and this is the first time he has watched a Hollywood colored action movie. Although it is crudely made, he still enjoys watching it.
Momoyo, who was leaning on Du Weiguo's side, was concentrating on watching a movie, a strange dark red light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she was caught by the big fox.
This movie has an English soundtrack with Japanese subtitles, and Miss Hu doesn't know these two languages, so she was extremely depressed watching it.
Du Weiguo felt Momoyo's arm vibrate slightly, glanced at her indistinctly, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
At this moment, Momoyo's gorgeous dark red pupils are staring at the screen without blinking for a moment, with no distractions.
This is a color movie. The characters are highly restored and lifelike. The big fox has lived for more than 200 years. It really has never seen this Western scene. It is so fresh.
After watching the movie, Du Weiguo chatted with Brother Xiaolong for a while before bidding farewell. On the way back, Momoyo pouted, his face full of dissatisfaction and resentment.
She had only watched this movie for less than a minute, and just after entering the feature film, she was completely obsessed with her "Master Shangxian", and she didn't know anything about the next plot.
When she regained consciousness again, it was already subtitles. Du Weiguo, who was driving, glanced at Momoyo with a sad face, and joked with a smile:
"What's the matter? Momoyo, did you not understand? How about, why don't you let Xiaolan accompany you to watch it again tomorrow?"
"I'm not that stupid, I, I~"
Tao Dai hesitated to speak, his eye circles were red with anger, Du Weiguo teased:
"Momoyo, isn't it your mission and honor to serve your family's god?"
Before Momoyo could speak, the big fox said in a low tone:
"Du Da, you are so yin and yang that you are fighting over there, Momoyo, tomorrow I will go to Xiaolan's half orifice, and I will accompany you to see it again."
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows, and teased in a teasing tone:
"Hu Da, you are so arrogant, you have to make it clear that Xiaolan is my apostle, not your younger brother Ma."
"Du Da, you, you are being respectful and condescending. Use time to move forward instead of backward. You are despicable! Shameless!"
The big fox is particularly willing to quarrel with Du Weiguo recently, and enjoys it after repeated defeats and battles. Just when he met the signal light, Du Weiguo stopped the car.
Rolling down the car window and lighting a cigarette, looking at the bustling road, his tone suddenly became serious:
"Hu Da, it's time, we should leave Dongpu almost."
"Well, are you leaving?"
