My teacher is Bruce Lee, who dominated Hollywood.

Chapter 46 Santa Monica Arena

Seeing his master become interested, Qin Han frowned.

Something's not right, something's really not right.

The Japanese man on the radio didn't sound like a formidable challenger at all.

On the contrary, the host fully demonstrated what it means to be "a journalism student".

But if Ishii wasn't there to cause trouble, why did the system provide information related to him three times in a row?

How could a karate expert get involved with Hollywood if he wasn't looking for them?

"Master." Qin Han raised his head and looked at the man whose eyes were burning with fighting spirit: "Did you hear that? This Japanese man has been 'kidnapped' by that host."

"I can tell." Bruce Lee shook his head helplessly: "That guy's English is terrible, he can't possibly out-argue the host."

"However, that's not important."

"Whether it was initiated or not, the challenge has been issued, and I can't pretend I didn't hear it. If I don't respond, soon the tabloids will be saying, 'Bruce Lee is a spineless coward who can only act.'"

After saying that, he walked straight to the telephone and reached out to grab the receiver.

"Wait! Master, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?" Qin Han reacted quickly and pressed the microphone.

"For a mere disciple of the Kyokushin Kaikan to call and accept the challenge would be beneath him. Don't forget, we still have many movies in our hands!"

After he finished speaking, Bruce Lee immediately understood the implications.

He was a smart man, but he was just itching to show off his skills and, coupled with his pride as a martial artist, overlooked the intricacies of business.

"You're right." He leaned back on the sofa, somewhat dejected. "But if I don't fight back, this feeling of suffocation is unbearable."

"That's easy," Qin Han laughed. "Since he's Mas Oyama's disciple, isn't it perfect for him to face off against Bruce Lee's disciple?"

Bruce Lee sized up Qin Han; he had indeed been training very hard during this period.

Coupled with his already solid foundation and calm mind, his actual combat ability is indeed not weak.

"Alright, you can go! Let me see how much you've improved lately!"

"Master, don't worry." Qin Han picked up the receiver and dialed the hotline number that had been repeated countless times on the radio.

However, after several attempts, the line remained busy.

The two were still wondering when the "GG" on the radio ended.

The host, as if on drugs, roared excitedly, "My God! This is absolutely insane! Just now during the 'GG' moment, our hotline platform was completely overwhelmed!"

"Countless angry listeners wanted to teach this arrogant Japanese a lesson! Bruce Lee hasn't responded yet, but Ishii has already angered half of America!"

In the background noise, you could still faintly hear the unfortunate Japanese man's weak explanation, but it was instantly drowned out.

"Given everyone's incredible enthusiasm!" the host announced a clearly pre-planned proposal: "Our radio station has decided to partner with several sponsors to build a public arena on Santa Monica Beach!"

"Whether it's karate, boxing, or Chinese kung fu, as long as you have the guts, you can sign up!"

"This..." Qin Han held the microphone that was still emitting a busy tone, feeling somewhat helpless and amused.

So this is the real script!

What challenge to Bruce Lee? It's just a gimmick.

What the radio station really wants is a fighting reality show that can generate sustained buzz and involve the entire population.

Bruce Lee's face showed a hint of disdain: "These media people have no shame when it comes to clicks. Let them make a scene, we'll just wait and see."

Qin Han put down the phone and nodded, saying, "Never mind him. We still have to go to Warner's studio for casting tomorrow; that's our main battleground."

The following day, Burbank.

Studio 16 at Warner Bros. Studios was transformed into the audition center for "Enter the Dragon".

Qin Han sat in the center of the judges' panel, with Bruce Lee on his left and Fred holding a coffee cup on his right.

"Did the director you invited really let us choose the actors ourselves?" he asked while sipping his coffee.

Qin Han replied with a smile, "Yes, he still has a few days before he gets to Hollywood, and he knows nothing about kung fu, so he left this job entirely to my master."

"Next!"

With a shout from the script supervisor, the door was pushed open.

A black man with an afro and wearing a floral shirt walked in.

He chewed gum, his steps carrying a unique rhythm, as if he could break into a soulful dance at any moment.

Jim Kelly has arrived.

"Hey, Bruce!" The black man, completely unlike the auditionee, greeted Bruce Lee.

"I heard you're going to hire someone to kick your ass? I even turned down two karate matches specifically for that."

Bruce Lee laughed and scolded, "Jim, if your legwork were as good as your mouth, I wouldn't have to worry about the action quality of the movies."

"Give it a try?" Without any further ado, Jim Kelly suddenly kicked out with a high roundhouse kick at the sandbag in the center of the audition room.

"Bang!" The movement was fluid and sharp, carrying a unique explosive power characteristic of Black people.

"Great!" Fred couldn't help but applaud. Although he didn't understand fighting, the visual impact was undeniable.

Next in came Johann Saxon.

This familiar face in Hollywood appeared much more composed, dressed in a sharp suit, making him look more like a business elite.

He and Bruce Lee were old acquaintances. The two shook hands briefly, but Qin Han noticed that the muscles in their arms bulged slightly at the moment of shaking hands.

Then they smiled at each other and patted each other on the back.

The casting of the two main supporting roles went exceptionally smoothly, as they are both highly skilled professionals in the industry and the most suitable candidates "certified" by Qin Han.

When it was Renée Russell's turn, she seemed a little nervous, her long hair simply tied in a ponytail, and her face bare.

However, even without makeup, her tall figure and delicate features are still very eye-catching under the spotlight.

"Don't be nervous," Qin Han whispered reassuringly. "Just think of this as the lawn in your backyard, or... in front of that thug you kicked in the balls."

Hearing this teasing remark, her tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's begin. Show us the results of our intensive training these past few days." Bruce Lee clapped his hands.

Renee assumed a stance—a standard Jeet Kune Do warning post.

"Drink!" A crisp shout rang out, followed by a straight punch, a side kick, and a spinning back kick.

Although still somewhat immature, those incredibly long legs made the kicks extremely beautiful.

It was originally just a formality, but it opened Qin Han's eyes: this girl's talent for action stars is truly amazing. In just a few days, she has already become quite respectable.

"It's approved."

Those three simple words made Renee feel as if a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

At this moment, the female factory workers who had wasted their youth on the eyeglasses factory assembly line completely disappeared, and in their place was the future action queen of Hollywood.

The interviews continued until 7 p.m. before all the foreign roles in the movie were finalized.

Qin Han closed the folder and rubbed his slightly sore neck: "The rest are all roles with Asian faces. We'll fly directly to Hong Kong and finalize the details after Ridley arrives."

Back at his villa in West Hollywood, Qin Han had just thrown himself onto the soft sofa when the phone rang.

"Feed?" He picked up the receiver somewhat lazily.

"Big producer, you sound exhausted?" came Lorna Barrett's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Just finished casting, I feel more exhausted than after a fight. Calling at this hour, are you trying to buy me a late-night snack?"

"Late-night snack? Hmph, I don't have time for that."

"If you still have the energy to get up, come to my radio station right away. There's a great opportunity to promote your movie!"
