Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

When Lin Zhengying saw several horror comedy movie scripts called the Uncle Nine series.

He even doubted whether he was dreaming.

After repeated confirmation, he finally believed that it was true that Wang Jianjun asked him to star in the movie.

"Mr. Wang, can I really play this role well?"

Lin Zhengying asked somewhat unconfidently.

He just played a supporting role in The Big Boss.

He was suddenly asked to play the leading role, and he was a little unsure. What if he messed up?

"Relax, I believe you can do it."

Wang Jianjun thought to himself, if you can't play the role of Uncle Jiu well, then no one can play it well.

The only pity is that Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying are still young.

This master-disciple trio always feels like something is missing because they are missing two disciples.

But we can pick two from the Seven Little Fortunes to take over first.

After receiving the script, Lin Zhengying went back to study it.

He was not in a hurry to make this movie and expressed that he wanted to go back and work on his acting skills first.

1971 can be said to be the year of Li Xiaolong.

This year, Li Xiaolong's first movie after returning to Hong Kong, "Fist of Fury", grossed over 500 million in Hong Kong.

It far exceeded the original 320 million and directly broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies.

In addition to Hong Kong, "Fist of Fury" was also released in other countries.

The biggest response came from the United States.

After this movie was released in the United States, it set off Hollywood's explosion in the United States.

The box office of this movie in the United States exceeded 10 million US dollars.

For the first time, the Chinese people realized that not all Chinese people are suitable for playing squinty-eyed villains, but there can also be tough guys like Li Xiaolong.

There was even a Kung Fu craze in the United States.

There were even media outlets from Canada that flew specially to interview Li Xiaolong.

Many Hollywood directors who were once not optimistic about Li Xiaolong have begun to extend olive branches to him.

I hope to invite him back to film with a high salary.

However, Li Xiaolong rejected all these invitations.

One movie "Fist of Fury" cannot satisfy Li Xiaolong.

Bruce Lee was ambitious.

His dream is to make Chinese Kung Fu films gain a foothold and a place in Hollywood.

And prove to the American people that Hong Kong movies are no worse than those made in Hollywood.

In the future, Chinese people will be able to play positive roles in Hollywood instead of ugly ones.

To achieve this goal, just one movie "Fist of Fury" is not enough.

So after finishing filming The Big Boss, Li Xiaolong devoted himself to the preparation of Fist of Fury.

After learning about Li Xiaolong's idea, Wang Jianjun also expressed his support.

However, to realize this dream, you must have a good body.

So before the filming of Fist of Fury began, Wang Jianjun forcefully dragged him to his own medical institution for a full physical examination.

At first Li Xiaolong was reluctant.

He also said that he was in very strong health and did not need any examination.

But at Wang Jianjun's insistence, he still went.

The people in charge of the inspection were Ding Qiunan and his daughter.

When Ding Qiunan saw his idol appear in front of him, his hands were shaking.

Ever since she watched the movie The Big Boss, she immediately became a fan of Li Xiaolong.

When seeing his idol, Ding Qiunan didn't even bother to give him a physical examination.

He quickly took out the videotape he had kept as a souvenir and asked for an autograph.

After getting the signature, Ding Qiunan happily examined Li Xiaolong's body.

But after the examination, Ding Qiunan and his daughter were also shocked.

"Mr. Li, please forgive me for being frank. Your health condition is not optimistic."

Li Xiaolong was a little confused.

If I didn’t know that they were doctors at Wang Jianjun’s private medical institution.

He even suspected that the two were exaggerating.

"Mr. Li, have you been taking any medication?"

Father Ding looked at Li Xiaolong and asked seriously.

Li Xiaolong nodded. He had his own body aesthetics and took a lot of medicine to build muscle.

They are also using a special electric shock device to stimulate muscle growth.

After listening to Li Xiaolong's description, Father Ding said directly and seriously:

"Mr. Li, for the sake of your health, please stop taking your muscle stimulating medicine and stop using the electric shock device. You have a history of asthma, and this kind of muscle training medicine and method will only aggravate your disease.

In addition, your body fat percentage is too low, which puts a heavy burden on your organs. You should often feel stomach discomfort. This is caused by your low body fat percentage. In fact, your organs have been damaged to a considerable extent, which should be the hidden injuries left by your previous fighting with others. "

It turns out that Ding's father is a doctor of medicine who graduated from the United States.

What he said is still very authoritative.

Li Xiaolong didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to Ding's father describe some of his symptoms, Li Xiaolong panicked.

He didn't expect that his body had been overdrawn so badly.

You know, I still have so many dreams that have not come true.

If my body collapses, my dreams will be shattered.

At this moment, Li Xiaolong rarely acted like a good boy in front of Ding's father.

Listen carefully to the instructions given to him by Ding's father.

In fact, Li Xiaolong’s situation is easy to solve.

Go back and stop taking the medicine, stop exercising so hard, and rest for a while.

After all, he is still young and recovers quickly.

After hearing what Mr. Ding said, Li Xiaolong hesitated for a long time and then reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Li Xiaolong was willing to listen to advice, Wang Jianjun also breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that this guy would continue to exercise in the same way as before regardless of anything else.

If we continue like this, even gods will be unable to save us.

Wang Jianjun doesn't want China to lose such a kung fu superstar.

Bruce Lee really listened to Mr. Ding's advice.

A few days later on the set, everyone looked at Li Xiaolong curiously as he came to the set like an old man with a thermos cup in his hand filled with ginseng, wolfberry and other health-preserving medicines.

That was because Li Xiaolong asked his master Ip Man to find an old Chinese doctor in Hong Kong to prescribe some medicine for him to recuperate.

In his spare time, Li Xiaolong rarely practices boxing and just rests there with his thermos cup in his arms.

This scene left Lin Zhengying and others stunned.

I don’t know if the other person has changed his personality or what.

Fortunately, Li Xiaolong's changed personality did not affect the filming of Fist of Fury.

After three months of filming, Fist of Fury, starring Li Xiaolong again, was released in Hong Kong.

This time it’s the same as Tangshan Big Brother.

Fist of Fury once again set a box office record in Hong Kong.

The cumulative box office was over 900 million, and almost broke million.

Not to mention that in the United States, the box office directly exceeded 20 million US dollars.

Many people felt unsatisfied after watching the movie once in the cinema, so they went back to the cinema for a second or third viewing.

Li Xiaolong's second film is not only better produced than the first, but also has a more exciting plot.

The only thing that made the audience curious was that from the beginning to the end, Li Xiaolong had gained a lot of weight visibly.
