When he recently returned to his alma mater, New York University, to participate in an event, Ang Lee revealed that he is preparing a new work and conducting preparatory work for a Bruce Lee biopic, hoping to start filming as soon as possible. "It took me many years to figure out how to interpret this work. In terms of personality, Bruce Lee and I have many differences, but there are also some similarities. For example, he has an identity crisis and has always longed for a sense of belonging. The desire to find one's own place really touched me deeply. "This movie was brought to Ang Lee by Bruce Lee's wife and daughter a few years ago, and Ang Lee planned to let his son Li Chun play Bruce Lee himself," after all. We, father and son, are no longer young. I hope I can make this movie as soon as possible."
