"Firstly, I can't give you your box office bonus for the time being!”
"Secondly, I'm taking a huge risk this time. If you're not qualified to be a director, I won't give you any chance to be a director for the next three years!”
Although he said that he had a few requests, he actually had two requests.
Zou Wenhuai acknowledged Lin Li's ability as a screenwriter, but he obviously did not approve of Lin Li's ability as a director. It could be said that Lin Li was gifted to be able to make up stories, but it was a little ridiculous for him to be a director.
Of course, if Lin Li was really capable, Zou Wenhuai would naturally give Lin Li a chance.
To be arrogant, one must first have the talent to do so.
If it was really like Bruce Lee, Zou Wenhuai would definitely have to compromise.
"Alright, no problem!"
Lin Li nodded, and took a deep look at Zou Wenhuai. Zou Wenhuai would regret his decision sooner or later.
However, Lin Li did not show much at this stage.
Then, Lin Li followed Bruce Lee back to his residence.
Then, Lin Li began to calculate the role.
After becoming a director, Lin Li naturally had to start from the role. First of all, the role of Chen Zhen was definitely Bruce Lee's.
Next was Fujita Tsuyoshi.
This character had a lot of scenes, and it was easier to portray. Lin Li thought for a moment and took the role of this guy.
Amongst the Seigo Heroes, the fight between Fujita Gang and Chen Zhen was a classic.
Yamada Mitsuko was naturally Miao Kexiu.
Huo Ting 'en asked Tian Jun to play the role. This kid was still young. Previously, he was playing Big Brother Xu, but now, he had more scenes.
Then, there was Huo Tingen's brothel lover, Xiaohong. Lin Li thought of Yiyi.
Among the original Big Brother Tang Shan, Yi Yi was the first female lead. In " Big Brother Tang Shan," Zheng Chaoan's character fell in love with Qiao Mei, who was played by Yi Yi, at first sight. He did not dare to express his love to Qiao Mei, and his love for Qiao Mei ended up fruitless.
However, after Lin Li's drastic changes, she basically had no more scenes.
Now that she was given a relatively important supporting role, it was enough to compensate her.
As for Funakoshi Fumio, Lin Li couldn't help but think of Hong Jinbao.
In the original version, Funakoshi Fumio himself was played by a Japanese. Of course, there were also Japanese people in Bruce Lee's Jingwu Gate.
However, these people's expressions were too serious and did not suit this rather funny little old man.
Hong Jinbao could help him put on makeup.
Hashimoto Ryuichi was Akutagawa Ryuichi.
After deciding on the role, Lin Li began to ponder about combat. In fact, he had already settled the storyboard.
Lin Li felt that he still needed to make some changes to it.
The reason was very simple. Zhou Bili was 1.83 meters tall and his muscles were extremely strong. One look and one could tell that he was a muscular man. In addition, this guy had won the world light middleweight boxing championship in 1985.
He was tall and burly.
It was a pure strength type.
However, Lin Li could not. He was only 16 years old, and his body had yet to fully develop. He was only 1.75 meters tall now.
Therefore, the fighting style needed to be modified, but it also had to give people a sense of oppression.
In the final battle, the elite martial hero had to face the Japanese sword with his belt, and Lin Li had replaced it with nunchakus.
Just as Lin Li was thinking about the actors, Bruce Lee came up to him.
"Ah Li, our box office sales have increased quite a bit again. It's already 4.2 million!”Bruce Lee was a little excited.”
"Congratulations!" Lin Li did not look very excited.
"Lin, you don't look very happy!”Bruce Lee looked at Lin Li in surprise."We broke the record!"
"I know!" "But I don't think that's worth our happiness!" Lin Li shrugged. Wasn't it inevitable that it would break the box office sales? What we need to do now, isn't it, to keep setting new records?”
"Hey, you are really interesting. I like your attitude!”Bruce Lee gave him a thumbs up.”
"It's almost done. Look!”Lin Li passed the actor's information to Bruce Lee.
"Hong Jinbao is playing Funakoshi Fumio?”Bruce Lee frowned slightly. He naturally knew Hong Jinbao.
After all, he was an agile fatty.
However, even though they knew each other, they were not very familiar with each other.
"That's him!" Lin Li nodded, looked at Bruce Lee, and continued,"I think it's very suitable. As the saying goes, the beginning is clean and the end is ugly. Funakoshi Fumio is an existence similar to a clown!”
"And Hong Jinbao himself has a bit of a comedic character, a little like a clown, so I think he's very suitable!”said Lin Li.
"I have my reservations!" Bruce Lee frowned.
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, we'll try out the act first and see if he can perform well. If he can perform well, we'll make a decision!”Lin Li didn't mind. He was the boss now, and the others were his younger brothers.
"Alright then!" Bruce Lee nodded in agreement with Lin Li.
Then, Bruce Lee said,"By the way, Lin, what do you think about fighting?"“
Lin Li had set a rule that no one was allowed to modify his script, not even Bruce Lee.
Therefore, many things needed to be discussed between the two of them in advance.
Naturally, Bruce Lee would not interfere with the literary parts of the script. He had read the script and had 100% trust in Lin Li.
However, Bruce Lee had a lot of ideas for the martial arts part. He needed to completely confirm the script before filming.
Lin Li and Bruce Lee had similar views on fighting.
It displayed the spirit of martial arts in many ways.
In Lin Li's opinion, it was good martial arts to be able to kill someone. It was as exciting and hot-blooded as it could be.
Bruce Lee, on the other hand, raised it to a philosophical point of view, and said it in a more mysterious way. This was Lin Li. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to figure it out.
For example, if Luo Wei couldn't keep up with Bruce Lee's thinking, the two of them would have conflicts.
Lin Li could quickly follow Bruce Lee's words. The two of them designed the movements according to the character's personality.
For a moment, the two of them seemed to have forgotten themselves.
He knew that Bruce Lee's beloved wife, Lin, had returned with a newspaper.
When he saw the newspaper, Bruce Lee's expression suddenly became very embarrassed.
The script of the Fine Martial Sect had been exposed.
Not only was it exposed, but it was also published in the newspaper.
Bruce Lee was furious!
