I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 207 It's Not Easy Being an Actor

A luxurious dinner party.

In the party, countless beauties gathered in the two conditions of "big wave" twisted on the dance floor.

At the door of the party, Qin Muchu, Stan Lee and the main creators of "Iron Man" were toasting and drinking.

Just finished filming Qin Muchu and Stan Lee's cameo scenes, and the crew took advantage of this venue to have fun and relax.

"Mr. Demolition, I'm sorry, I mean Chin..."

Qin Muchu looked at Tang Ni who was struggling to pronounce the pronunciation of "Qin", smiled and waved:

"You can also call me Mu Chu. This is my name. The name of the people from the Celestial Dynasty is in the back, which is the exact opposite of yours."

You can't pronounce the sound "Qin" in English, and Donnie was so anxious that he was about to sweat.

Hearing what Qin Muchu said, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously:
"I promise that I will work hard to learn Chinese from today, and I will communicate with you in fluent Chinese dialect next time I meet."

Qin Muchu was stunned.

Looking at Downey's serious eyes, I wanted to ask, "Old man, are you really serious?"

You just can't say your last name, so you need to learn a language?

Fortunately, at this moment, Qiao En explained Qin Muchu's confusion. He patted Downey on the back:
"Easy man, your enthusiasm is scaring the sir."

Then he looked at Qin Muchu again:
"Sir, do you remember when I asked you about the Iron Man role?"

Qin Muchu recalled that after investing in "Iron Man", he did receive an email asking if he supported Robert Downey Jr. to play Iron Man.

Qin Muchu didn't know who Downey was at the time, and foreigners' names were always extremely hard to remember.

However, a photo of Downey was attached to the email.

Qin Muchu took a look, is it Iron Man himself?

I replied to the email right away, I can't remember the specific answer, but the general meaning is...

If it's not him acting, Geneva will refund the money!
"So, you mean, the reason why Donnie treated me this way was because I supported him playing Iron Man?" Qin Muchu was uncertain.

No way, according to Downey's resume sent by Jon, this uncle is not unknown. He has acted in many movies and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.

He can be considered a coffee in Hollywood, and he is completely worthy of the role of Iron Man.

At this time, Jon and Downey looked at each other with some anxiety in their eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Jon was about to speak when Downey stopped him:

"Let me tell you, you've helped me enough, Jon."

Jon opened his mouth, and finally patted Downey on the shoulder without saying a word.

Qin Muchu looked at these two people and felt something was wrong.

Co-author, there is something hidden here?

"Sir, did you read my resume that Jon sent you?"

"Look. Is the resume fake?" Qin Muchu guessed.

"No, no, the resume is completely authentic, and you can find it online anytime." Downey quickly shook his hand in denial.

Then he added:

"However, that resume is incomplete."

Qin Muchu thought for a while, and Downey's resume was indeed only up to nomination for the Oscar for Best Actor, and there was nothing after that.

But he didn't think too much about it at the time. Now, it seems that Donnie's later experience was not very good?

Downey was a little embarrassed to speak. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath:

"After being nominated for an Oscar, I fell and I ... went to jail for it."

Qin Muchu looked at Downey in surprise, he didn't expect Downey to have such a past.

"After that, I often went to the prison drug rehabilitation center because of drug problems. For a long time, I almost spent time in prison."

After Donnie finished speaking, he was very frank and explained his problems completely.

Then he anxiously waited for Qin Muchu's reaction.

He is a model of becoming famous at a young age, with a superior family. He was nominated for an Oscar winner at the age of 27, and then fell at the peak.

Contaminated with every possible vice.

and tarnish his own reputation.

Downey has been abandoned by Hollywood and has become a rat in the stinky gutter, without filming for more than ten years.

This time, Jon insisted that Downey play Iron Man, which was strongly opposed by everyone.

That's why he sent an email to ask Qin Muchu's opinion, the largest investor in "Iron Man", hoping to get Qin Muchu's support.

Everyone is more inclined to let Nicolas Cage play, and Cage also expressed his interest in Iron Man.

In fact, it was Qin Muchu's support that overwhelmed the opposition of the others, otherwise Downey's role would be very dangerous.

That's why Downey was so grateful to Qin Muchu.

……

Qin Muchu was silent for a while, and under Tang Ni's nervous gaze, he suddenly asked:
"What was that like?"

"Forehead……"

Donnie didn't expect Qin Muchu to ask such a question. He frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked into Qin Muchu's eyes:

"It's like having a loaded gun in your mouth, with your finger on the trigger, but still falling in love with the metallic taste."

Isn't this suicide?
Qin Muchu thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Are you still like that?"

"No!"

This time Downey answered decisively,

"Absolutely not! I can guarantee everything of mine!"

"If you are from the Celestial Dynasty, then you will be sentenced to death. I will definitely not use you. Even if the filming is basically completed, I will replace you, even if it will cause huge losses."

Qin Muchu's tone was flat, but what he said made Downey and Qiao En's hearts tremble.

They could tell that Qin Muchu was not joking.

"But you are an American. Since you don't take this seriously, I will do as the Romans do. But if you really want to communicate with me in Chinese next time, don't touch those again."

Qin Muchu patted Downey on the shoulder.

"Sure, sir, I will never disappoint the opportunity you gave me."

Downey smiled, and reassured Qin Muchu as if he was relieved.

……

"I love that kid Downey, even though I didn't approve of him playing Iron Man in the first place.

But now it seems that he has many similarities with Tony Stark, and he has gradually changed from a jerk to a responsible person. "

Stan Lee talked to Qin Muchu while walking.

During the filming of "Iron Man", he watched Downey play Tony, and felt that the characters in the comics came to life.

"Yes, he is indeed very suitable for Iron Man." Qin Muchu also said with emotion.

When he reached the door, he stopped and said to Stan Lee:

"Grandpa, don't send it off, let's go back."

Stan Lee stopped when he heard the words, and waved:

"Then I look forward to seeing you next time."

Qin Muchu smiled, he has been in the United States for more than a week, and it is time for him to return home.

After filming today's cameo scene, I will leave, and I have booked a plane ticket for tonight.

Just when I got back to the hotel to clean up, I happened to meet Liu Xiqian, mother and daughter, who came back from outside the hotel.

They live next door to Qin Muchu's room.

Liu Xiaoli was obviously not in high spirits, with an angry look on her face, but Liu Xiqian was quite happy, with a smile all over her face, jumping around as she walked.

Qin Muchu was a little strange.

The mother and daughter left after filming Liu Xiqian's cameo in the morning. At that time, they were quite happy to see Liu Xiaoli, but Liu Xiqian seemed very reluctant.

Unexpectedly, when they came back in the afternoon, the two of them exchanged emotions, and they didn't know what happened.

"Hi, you're back too?" Liu Xiqian smiled and waved to Qin Muchu.

I didn't come back, is it a ghost standing here now?

Qin Muchu glanced at Liu Xiqian, and chose not to talk to the fool.

But thinking that he was going back to China at night, he still said hello to the mother and daughter.

They will not leave today, Liu Xiaoli said that she has to stay here for a few more days.

"Aunt Liu, I'm going back to China on the flight tonight, so I'll let you know." Qin Muchu looked at Liu Xiaoli.

"Oh, good."

Liu Xiaoli forced a smile,
"Then you should be careful all the way, Sissy and I have to wait for a few more days."

Looking at Liu Xiaoli's expression, Qin Muchu became more and more sure that something happened to her.

But since Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask too much.

His surname is not Chen, and he doesn't want to be Liu Xiqian's stepfather.

Just about to go back to the room, I heard Liu Xiqian say:
"Mom, we have nothing to do now, why do we have to stay for a few more days, why don't we go back with Qin Muchu tonight."

"you!"

Liu Xiaoli glared at Liu Xiqian, and wanted to get angry when she saw her heartless appearance, but Qin Muchu stood beside her and couldn't get angry directly, so she could only say:

"You enter the room for me!"

……

"Sir, that lady wants to change seats with you, is that okay?"

On the plane, the flight attendant politely asked a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man followed the flight attendant's finger, saw a young and beautiful little oriental beauty, and then looked at the handsome oriental man sitting next to him.

understand what.

"I'd be happy to make it happen."

He stood up with a smile, and changed seats with the little oriental beauty under the leadership of the stewardess.

"Three grams of oil."

Liu Xiqian clasped her hands together and expressed her sincere thanks.

Then he walked to the seat next to Qin Muchu.

Seeing that Qin Muchu was wearing a blindfold as if sleeping, she pushed Qin Muchu's shoulder:

"Wake up, wake up."

Hearing Liu Xiqian's call, Qin Muchu took off the blindfold and looked at Liu Xiqian with a dazed look.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you sitting with your mother?"

Yes.

In the end, Liu Xiqian and her daughter chose to return to China with Qin Muchu.

But the next seat must not be able to buy it. Those who bought the same flight are all first class.

"My mother is asleep, I have something to tell you." Liu Xiqian whispered.

"No, I'm going to bed to beat the jet lag."

Qin Muchu resolutely refused, and was about to put on the blindfold again.

jet lag?
Liu Xiqian counted with her fingers, they were on a flight at ten o'clock in the evening, and it would take twelve hours to fly to Yanjing, that is, to arrive in Yanjing at ten o'clock in the morning US time.

There is a twelve-hour gap between the United States and China.

Then it should be ten o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Yanjing.

I got off the plane and went home to sleep.

So he patted Qin Muchu:

"You're jet-lagged, you can't sleep now, and now it's night when you arrive in Yanjing, you won't be able to sleep."

"It's okay. I'm taking a nap now. I sleep for six hours and wake up for six hours. When it's night in Yanjing, it's just a night's sleep."

Qin Muchu waved his hands and turned sideways, signaling Liu Xiqian not to disturb him.

But Liu Xiqian pulled him over again.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Qin Muchu took off the blindfold.

very annoying.

"I have something to tell you."

Liu Xiqian frowned lightly, with a goofy expression on her face.

That's the face that saved you...

Qin Muchu shook his head, put on the blindfold again:

"Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

"Guess what my mother took me to do these days?"

"..."

"Going to audition, it's really outrageous, she took me to some Hollywood crews and companies to submit my resume, and also wrote about my heroine in "The King of Kung Fu" and my participation in "Iron Man".

"I applied for a lot of production crews, but when people saw that I have an oriental appearance, they didn't even consider it."

"Later, my mother lowered the requirements and went to audition for some female second, female third, and even some roles with very few roles, but they were all rejected. Guess why?"

"You are ugly." Qin Muchu said this time.

Liu Xiqian slapped Qin Muchu angrily, then clicked her tongue again:

"When I tried the last crew, the producer said that the conditions were not suitable, but I just came out. Guess who I met?"

"..."

"Zhang Ziyi! She also went to audition for that role, but she also came out after a while and was rejected.

I was quite relieved that such a big guy couldn’t be selected, but I was surprised that another black girl went in to audition, because the requirement for that role was Asian.

After a while, the producer came out to inform the Asian girls in the back that they don’t need to audition, the script was changed, and the original role became black..."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiqian's tone was a little lost:
"Later, Sister Ziyi invited me to dinner with my mother and said that Hollywood is like this. They would rather give blacks than Asians for many roles, and the salaries for Asians are also very low, oh, except for Fang Loon and Li Lianjie."

"Isn't this normal? White looks down on black, and black looks down on yellow. You grew up in the United States, don't you know this?" Qin Muchu said.

"I didn't feel it much when I was a child. I seem to have it. I don't remember clearly." Liu Xiqian scratched her head.

"Your brain...well, reasonable."

Qin Muchu lowered the back of the seat to make it more comfortable.

"So what are you trying to say? Are you being discriminated against?"

"Ah."

Liu Xiqian nodded,

"More than that, I think Hollywood is really not for me."

After a pause, she added:
"My mother also felt it. These days she took me everywhere to find the crew. It was very hard and tiring, but the results were not as expected."

As she spoke, she looked in Mother Liu's direction.

Liu Xiaoli fell asleep not long after boarding the plane, probably due to exhaustion.

"Can your mother give up Hollywood?"

Qin Muchu couldn't believe it.

This news is as amazing as the "relocation" of Meng Mu's third relocation was not a relocation, but a demolition.

Mother Meng demolished three times and got rich...

"It should be, otherwise she wouldn't agree to go back to China tonight. I saw it with my own eyes, and heard from sister Ziyi, so I should have given up." Liu Xiqian said.

Qin Muchu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If Liu Xiqian really went to Hollywood, it would be easy for Hua Yi to talk about it, and she could handle it with a meal at most.

Huayi is busy with the listing operation, so it will not be overwhelmed at this time and have conflicts with itself.

Xiao Wang may always blow his hair, but with the king always suppressing him, there will be no problems.

The main reason is that Liu Xiqian did not develop much after going to Hollywood. Qin Muchu really has never heard of any Chinese star who came out in Hollywood after beating Van Loon and Li Lianjie.

"Choose wisely, expand your advantages in China, and then appear on variety shows and reality shows. Being a star can also make you a lot of money."

Qin Muchu yawned, covered his body with the blanket of the plane, and was about to fall asleep.

But the blanket was pulled down again.

"I want to be an actor, a real actor."

Liu Xiqian's serious voice came from beside her ear.

"Oh, okay, come on." Qin Muchu said perfunctorily.

She was about to pull up the blanket, but Liu Xiqian held the blanket tightly in her hand.

"Let go, Liu Xiqian, I'll throw the arm of the airplane on you." Qin Muchu threatened.

However, in a blink of an eye, the blindfold was taken off.

The sudden light made Qin Muchu subconsciously close his eyes.

"Liu Xiqian! You..."

Qin Muchu turned his head, and just about to cure this stupid goose, he saw Liu Xiqian frowning, and said word by word:

"I said, I want to be an actor! A real actor!"

Qin Muchu understood somewhat, paused, shook his head and said:
"You have no talent, and you can't do much as an actor. Be a star."

Liu Xiqian was a little unconvinced:

"I'm going to be an actor, where is my talent?"

"There are many, and there is almost no place where there is talent as an actor."

Liu Xiqian wants to be an actor rather than a star, and as a friend, Qin Muchu doesn't mind telling her that this path is not suitable.

"You lack a sense of spirituality and a lack of perception of emotional things.

The appearance and temperament are quite fairy, and it's okay to play some vases, but you can't play deeper roles. "

Seeing Liu Xiqian staring at him without saying a word, Qin Muchu touched his nose.

It seems to be a bit straightforward.

So he gave an example:

"If you are flying now, it is because you have been informed that one of your relatives is critically ill, and this time you are called to catch up with him for the last time.

How will you act? "

Liu Xiqian withdrew her gaze from staring at Qin Muchu, frowned and thought for a while, then said:
"I would be in a hurry, panicked, flustered, worried on the plane."

Qin Muchu nodded:

"All right, what else?"

Liu Xiqian was at a loss:

"Is there any more? Are these not enough?"

"Enough, but too ordinary. Nothing special, the audience can't remember."

After a pause, Qin Muchu said:
"I have another answer here.

You will be very anxious, staring straight ahead, and suddenly at a certain moment, you will not feel like crying. You keep wiping your tears and telling yourself not to cry, but the tears just can’t be stopped.

The people next to you are very strange. There may be a kind aunt handing you a tissue. You take it and wipe your tears. You open your mouth to say thank you, but you can’t say it.

It’s just the kind of tears that keep shedding, without making a sound, you just wipe it with a paper towel, and you won’t throw it away when the paper towel is soaked. "

Liu Xiqian stopped talking, and seemed to be immersed in the picture constructed by Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu didn't speak, and put on the blindfold silently.

Real actors, how can it be so easy to do...
