Invested with a budget of 50 million yuan, the TV series "The Legend of Bruce Lee" is currently being filmed in Shunde, Guangdong - Bruce Lee's hometown. When the reporter went to visit the set, they happened to catch a martial arts competition being filmed at the Shunde Stadium. As the main actor Guo-Kun Chen appeared dressed in martial arts attire, hundreds of extras sitting in the stands burst into applause. From his appearance and demeanor to even his small actions, this actor playing Bruce Lee showed a higher level of resemblance than previous versions.
Actor Resemblance Reaches 90%
A scene from that day involved filming Bruce Lee participating in a civilian martial arts competition in Los Angeles, USA. Dressed in blue martial arts attire, Guo-Kun Chen walked onto the competition ground, made a bow with clasped hands, and revealed Bruce Lee's signature confident smile, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the audience. Regarding Guo-Kun Chen's appearance, everyone unanimously stated that the resemblance reached 90%. Most importantly, he also received recognition from Bruce Lee's daughter. Guo-Kun Chen himself was quite confident, saying, "Since I was a teenager, wherever I went, people said I looked like Bruce Lee, so I have a kind of invisible responsibility." Guo-Kun Chen mentioned that many people had previously approached him to play Bruce Lee, but all were stopped by Stephen Chow, who said, "Without a good script, you absolutely must not act, and this time the timing has come, so I hope you don't embarrass me or Brother Dragon." There were also rumors about director Guan Jinpeng's movie intending to invite Stephen Chow to play Bruce Lee. In response, Guo-Kun Chen said that because Stephen Chow greatly respected Bruce Lee, he would absolutely not take on the role. When asked if he was worried about being typecast as a special character actor after playing Bruce Lee and thus unable to perform other roles in the future, Guo-Kun Chen said that he might then switch to behind-the-scenes work, "Anyway, I've always been doing behind-the-scenes production, so if I don't act anymore in the future, it's fine."
Details of the Plot Are Somewhat Fictional
Hong Kong director Guan Jinpeng will soon begin shooting a biographical film about Bruce Lee. In response to this, producer Yu Shengli said that Guan Jinpeng's film would definitely not be able to compete with this TV series, "The capacity of a movie cannot compare with a 50-episode TV series. Besides the indispensable kung fu, we will also focus on Bruce Lee's growth process and the martial philosophy he advocated; one could say this is an inspirational piece." Yu Shengli also revealed that while the major turning points in Bruce Lee's life will be shot according to historical facts, some details will also be fictionalized, and these details have already been approved through discussions with Bruce Lee's family. For example, details such as being chased by the mafia when going to America and picking up garbage in the hospital, Bruce Lee's daughter proposed nearly 20 modifications, but we believe this is more in line with artistic reasonableness, ultimately reaching consensus. Regarding Bruce Lee's cause of death, we will operate according to the scenario of overwork leading to death.
Revealing Bruce Lee's Fear of Cockroaches
In addition to resembling Bruce Lee in appearance and demeanor, Guo-Kun Chen also learned Wing Chun under SAM, a disciple of Bruce Lee, rewatched all of Bruce Lee's works and related writings, and chatted with everyone who had collaborated with him. Guo-Kun Chen has practiced Wing Chun for a year, and his martial arts skills have been recognized by the director, eliminating the need for a body double in basic fight scenes. Moreover, the super "Bruce Lee fan" Guo-Kun Chen also revealed that Bruce Lee was afraid of cockroaches, and this interesting plot point will also be adopted in the TV series. "Bruce Lee's sister told me, to overcome his fear of cockroaches, Bruce Lee caught many cockroaches, strung them together with a thread, hung them around his neck, and walked naked on the street shouting 'I am not afraid of cockroaches.'"
