Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"I heard from Mr. Lu that there is a new movie to be made this time?" Bruce Lee asked.

When Chen Mubai was leaving, Lu Fang contacted Bruce Li, told him Chen Mubai's plan, asked him to prepare in advance, and must ensure his safety, and asked him to pay more attention to rest so as not to be too tired.

"Yes, there is an idea for a new movie."

Chen Mubai nodded and said: "This time is different from the past. You need to help me find a child actor and let him be my child. Find a child of Chinese mixed race."

"Looking for child actors?" Bruce Lee asked in surprise, "Are there many roles?"

He needs to know the number of roles. If there are many roles, there are more aspects to consider, especially the child's acting skills also need to have a certain foundation, otherwise there will be too many shots and poor acting skills, which will hinder the quality of the movie.

Being able to have better choices is naturally inclined to the good side, so why bother to embarrass yourself.

If there are not many roles, it will be much easier to handle. If there are only a few lines and occasional appearances, the selection of actors will not be so strict.

"Many." Chen Mubai nodded.

Bruce Lee asked again: "How old is the child?"

"About 3-4 years old."

"This condition is a bit harsh. I need to give me some time. I will slowly screen. If it is really not possible, a large-scale election may be called."

Bruce Lee said solemnly: "There are not many mixed-race child stars of Chinese descent, and there are still many roles. The requirements for acting skills are not low. You can't just find someone to replace you. I will try my best to find a child that meets your requirements."

"No problem, I'm not in a hurry to shoot right now. I'll shoot this movie when the second season of "Prison Break" is on track. Is it okay to find it for me before then?"

"No problem, I will look for it as soon as possible."

Bruce Lee agreed, and he asked curiously, "What kind of movie is this time?"

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" cut into the group has a great influence, and many people are still discussing it, and those common people are very enthusiastic about it, and this part of the people is also the biggest traffic for us, and many of them spontaneously promote us. "

Because the audience of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is the civilian class with the widest base, so the biggest contributor to the film's box office is also this group of people. Bruce Lee has to admire Chen Mubai's unique vision and let these people pay the bill.

He was very curious, what kind of movie would Chen Mubai choose to shoot this time?

"The type of biography of a warm family is to tell about the life of a father and son during the economic depression, so that everyone can work harder for a better life." Chen Mubai replied with a smile.

"Oh? Set in America?"

"right."

"So it seems that the audience is still the common people?" Bruce Lee was a little surprised.

Since we are working hard in the background of economic depression, we cannot be rich people, and we may even be rich people originally, but it is not certain that we are bankrupt, and the starting point is poor people.

This is a high degree of overlap with the group of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, film this type of movie again to consolidate the audience market?

It's not impossible, Bruce Lee nodded secretly, this is a very stable approach.

They have just established a firm foothold in the American film market. Once they take too big a step, they may suffer some crises. At least those opponents will not watch them grow in vain.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" met three new movies released at the same time. If it was a coincidence, who would believe it?

Bruce Lee knew that this was the opponent's strategy, but there was no other way. If it wasn't for this, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" might even get a box office of 300 to 400 million!

The film sniping, which was released at the same time, can indeed have a considerable impact on other works. This kind of conspiracy can only be accepted, and the two sides compete in front of the stage. There is no other way.

It is the safest way to continue to shoot movies of the same type, and then maintain this part of the audience. The audience will remain unchanged, and the box office data may not be much different.

If the quality is good, like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it's not impossible for the box office to be higher!

You must know that the background of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still in China, but the background of this movie is set in the United States. This is a localized American Chinese movie, and it gives the audience a different sense of expectation.

After all, the style and background of this movie are more in line with their aesthetics.

"I think it's very good. When I watched "I'm Not the God of Medicine", I thought it was great. I believe this movie can gain a group of fans for us again and further consolidate the market."

Although Bruce Lee was a little surprised, he was very happy.

For the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine", his emotions are very complicated, neither has a sense of substitution, nor does he lack a sense of identity, mainly because of his experience.

Bruce Lee's father came to work here in the early years, and he belonged to the people at the bottom. Later, he got married and had children here. When Bruce Lee was very young, his family conditions were not very good. It can only be said to be better than poor families, but far from It's not rich, just keep a look of food and clothing.

Since he was a child, he has seen his father working hard to make money to support his family. Even when he has a high fever, he has to continue to work, all for making money.

He saw all this in his eyes, and he asked his father distressedly why he didn't go to the hospital for treatment.

He still remembers that his father gave him a smile and said: "It's not a problem, it's going to pass, it's not a problem."

At that time, I was young and didn’t know much about it. I thought it was really not a problem, but later I found out that it was because seeing a doctor cost money, and he was discriminated against because of his Chinese identity. Basically, it was difficult to receive good treatment in the community. Optimistically, I can only go to the hospital, but the cost of going to the hospital is too high, so I can only choose to hold back at home.

The reason for everything is money. Chen Mubai has experienced the things described in the movie, so he agrees with this part of the plot and the strong sense of reality.

Fortunately, after his father got rich, they didn't have this trouble.

Even though the family was poor before his father made a fortune, his father would try his best to satisfy him whatever he wanted, which made him feel a strong fatherly love, but he didn't feel too much about poverty.

This is different from the parents in the United States. The love of Chinese parents for their children is more selfless and great. Even if they endure it or feel a little sad, it will make their children feel better.

In fact, it is too doting. American parents sometimes have a very rational attitude towards their children. This is the most essential difference in parental love between the two countries.

Until later when he went to college, some of Bruce Lee’s classmates used loans to go to school, and it would take a lot of time to repay the loans in the future. In contrast, he did not have this trouble, and he was very fortunate.

Even though medical care and education are different, they have one thing in common, that is, the poor have to pay far more than the rich, both in terms of medical treatment and education.

Although Bruce Lee didn't personally experience this incident, he understood the thoughts and feelings of these people better because of his experience. It was because of this that he understood the positive meaning and influence of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and he also According to this aspect of marketing and publicity, the purpose is to let more people empathize.

There is no better way to get the word out than to get people involved.

"Yes, because this is a work of father and son trying to survive, so there will be no shortage of shots of the son. This child star actor is very important, otherwise I won't let you find the right person with great fanfare."

"okay, I get it."

Bruce Lee kept these in mind, and said again: "All the preparations for the second season of "Prison Break" have been completed, just waiting for you to start filming."

"No problem, the filming will officially start tomorrow."

"Go and rest, you shouldn't be resting very well on the plane."

 …

Chen Mubai returned to his residence, contacted Tao Yaoyao, and then began to rest.

Long-distance travel is the most tiring, and even on the plane is not as comfortable as resting in bed.

When he woke up, it was already dark.

"I'm here, open the door!"

On the phone, Tao Yaoyao's sweet voice sounded.

"So soon, are you here?" Chen Mubai opened the door, looked at Tao Yaoyao standing at the door, and said happily.

Tao Yaoyao was wearing a pink shirt with a thin coat and jeans on her lower body. She was very youthful and sweet.

She was wearing a small hat and a mask on her face. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her bright eyes were full of smiles, which could make people feel her happy emotions.

"Come in, it's hot outside, come in and drink some cold water."

"Are you tired?" Chen Mubai poured a glass of cold water for Tao Yaoyao, who sat on the sofa.

"I came here just after the trip, and I'm really tired." Tao Yaoyao took off her hat and mask, took a big sip of water from the water glass.

The weather outside was hot, and in just a short while, my body already felt hot and dry, with sweat stains on my forehead.

"Thanks for your hard work." Chen Mubai saw that Tao Yaoyao's water was almost drunk, and filled a glass again.

"Go out to eat or order takeaway?" Chen Mubai asked.

"Don't go out, it's too hot~" Tao Yaoyao said coquettishly.

"I miss you, I couldn't go to the celebration banquet yesterday~"

"If you didn't go, you didn't go. It's just a group of people eating and chatting. It's the same everywhere. I will accompany you to go out for a day, so that you can eat well and have enough fun!" Chen Mubai said gently, stroking Tao Yaoyao's hair.

"Really!? Don't lie to me!" Tao Yaoyao said pleasantly.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I'm going to shoot the second season of "Prison Break" right away, and we'll have a day to play it."

"You are so kind~" Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai movedly, affection flickered in her big watery eyes, as if there was steam, and shyness flashed across her nimble pupils.

Tao Yaoyao stood up, took a sip of water, then looked at Chen Mubai affectionately, walked in front of him, straddled him, and kissed his lips.

"Hmm..." Chen Mubai's eyes widened, he never expected Tao Yaoyao to make such a sudden move.

A thread of water flowed out from the corner of Chen Mubai's mouth, and then across his neck, soaking his clothes.
