-[X]Prepare for The Fury (Script): You are going to look at the translated draft of the Script, and try your best to get something resembling practice in. The Problem is, most of the script is action-based with pictures, and that is not the best language to read a screenplay. DC: 65 Reward: You read the script and get familiar with a screen presence. Rolled: 65
When you first looked at the script you had thought it was going to be impossible to understand considering the very real possibility of... interpreting the script's contents. What dialogue that was there was written in Cantonese, but it was only short phrases and the passable Cantonese you did know was enough for you to get by.
But that still left you with the problem of understanding some of the more difficult action parts that were being prepared, not only for Bruce himself but for his entire stunt team he was working with.
After a few hours of just, not being able to read it, you decided to look for something to inspire you and get the boredom off of your mind, and the frustration that you have been seeing.
It led you to a comic book store. And then to a Superman comic, and an old one where he was boxing. Flipping through the pages, following your eyes to fight, then to the cover itself.
And then it hit you. When you looked back from back to front, going through the pages twice, you knew what to do.
Read the script as a comic book, but backward.
Everything was entirely backward. When you ran home, and then it made sense.
Everything from Bruce's action scenes, to even... you in the potential role. It was amazing. You had wondered how such motion could be conveyed through just pictures, even crudely drawn pictures, but that was just following the eye to the detail.
It was amazing, and you understood everything.
All you had to do was just keep it up.
Reward: You have read through the "Script" and are prepared for its very action-heavy setpieces, and movements.
Will suffer no malus to filming.

-[X]Prepare for the Fury (Training): While Bruce's Exercise regime was certainly intense, he asked that you do something far more demanding, both to keep up with him in the event that you may fight, and not get your ass kicked, but also to get you prepared for Hong Kong's demanding action cinema stunt work. DC: 60 Reward: You get into shape for the film. Rolled: 93
You began training with Bruce and a few of his other students on a more frequent basis a few days after you fully understood the script and what he and his production crew were going to put you through. Even if you didn't get more than a minute of screentime, he wanted you to be prepared for the very demanding work.
He put you through a very intense training regime. One that he had informed you was based on his own, both to prepare you, and to make you stronger.
It was... needless to say, the hardest you had ever worked out in your life. Ten miles run every day, with very strict dietary restrictions to build muscle.
And then there was the weight lifting. Something that confused you greatly.
"Uh, Bruce? I thought weightlifting was something that martial artists avoided doing to prevent their muscles from growing too large?" You asked as he showed you both the pullup bar, the weightlifting bench, and the dumbbells he had prepared. "And why are you letting me use them?"
"First, the weightlifting program you are doing is lighter than mine, and one that will help you with one thing, power, and mind-muscle connection. you build the muscles in the body and the connection to it. This helps with that." Bruce stated.
"Yeah, but why the Weights?" You asked.
"Simple, Power!" Bruce cheerfully said with a smile. "And there is a simple fact that you are focusing far too hard on seeing this role as just a job." There was a pause. "This is far more than that. It is becoming one's self, as you are doing right now."
"Why are you so worried about what I want?" You asked.
"Simple, I was young once, and foolish, making many mistakes that I regretted once I grew up to not see the world only through my own arrogance and self. I became a better person. I merely wish to help others strive to become better." He was focused now. "Yet you did very well in training, but you just want to be an actor? Or something more?"
You frowned. "I want to be an actor, not just for the fame and fortune, but because in the end, I'll be something more. Hopefully a legend."
Bruce, for all his humbleness, seemed to smile at that. "At least your arrogance is far less self-destructive than others."
"I hope that's a compliment?" You asked.
"it is." He said. "I'm just happy you aren't going around beating up kids."
You and Bruce then laughed, before Bruce finally stopped. "Very well... Tell me, are you ready?"
You smiled and got into your stance. "Oh hell yeah!"
And you both went all out.
Bruce won. But he was very impressed that you lasted longer than three minutes.
Reward: You are fully ready for the role and its very physical demands. You can now write in your own stunts during production and it will have only a dc of 30.
Changing the Script now has a lower DC.
Chemistry Roll with Bruce increases by 15.
Please note that Bruce has not given you permission to beat him on film and will not accept such a proposal.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Learn Chinese: You are going to make a movie in China. You are going to need to be a gracious guest, and try and learn the language. To not be an asshole like the Brits are. DC: 40 Reward: You learn Chinese. Rolled: 53
It took a few weeks, but you managed to get very conversationally fluent with Cantonese.
It was quite funny that when you spoke to Bruce, he was completely surprised by you speaking it.
Then criticized you for butchering a few words, and sought to assist you with handling the proper pronunciation.
Reward: You are now conversationally fluent in Cantonese. There will be a far less hostile atmosphere on set when filming begins.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Take a walk: Dad always said that the best ways to get inspiration are by walking, talking, and being open-minded. So you'll try that. DC 10 (You are just going for a walk, what could be really said. Rolled: 88
You took a deep breath as you continued walking down the street, wondering what the hell you were doing. You were just trying to clear your head but now you were just walking.
Trying to sort your sorry head out.
Instead, you found yourself walking into another part of town where another person was walking. And you just sat down on a park bench.
Soon you found yourself joined by the same person, sitting down and sighing. "You in town for business or family?" He asked.
"Come again?" You asked, as you looked at the man, and scooted away, feeling unsafe and uncomfortable as the man relaxed on the bench.
"Am I scaring you kid?" He asked as you felt concern in his voice. "I don't look like a scary guy?"
"Yeah well, so was the last guy." You frowned, before looking to stand up.
The man relaxed, he had confidence and was cool as a cat, and obviously knew that he was making you uncomfortable. "Robert." He said, offering a handshake. "Names Robert."
You returned it. "Bruce."
"Well kid, I'm here for work, and you're all dressed up, meaning you either ran away from home to sweet on a girl or your working in the city? And I don't think you're a businessman. So what are you working for the bright lights in the big city?" He asked.
"Maybe not in Hollywood, but soon, I'm going to carve my name into this city." You replied.
"Good luck kid." He said. "I'm sure you'll make it." he then stood up.
You took a good look at his face. "Do I know you from somewhere?" You asked.
The man smiled. "God, I hope not. Not yet at least."
Reward: You met a man named Robert, who really likes the gumption you have.
