Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 585 Open your eyes to see the world
The next morning, Zhang Yuan, who had spent a night on an international flight, finally landed in New York.

Fortunately, we were in first class, which was quiet and spacious enough.

I read the script until midnight, then asked the flight attendant to make my bed and had a good night's rest.

Know that this audition is very important.

How many people want to follow Chen Long these days.

How many people want to follow him into Hollywood.

In order to have a cameo role, countless beautiful actresses are willing to stand in line with their legs apart.

What's more, this time Chen Long gave him an "upgrade".

The character Kenji in the film is set to be a brother that Officer Li, played by Uncle Long, has known in an orphanage since childhood.

However, the two have opposite positions in the film, and Kenji becomes the top thug of the triad.

The two will eventually have a showdown on the Eiffel Tower.

He is obviously much younger than Chen Long, but this is not a big problem.

Uncle Long can be made to look younger, grow a beard, and the original person of the same age in the script can be changed to a younger brother.

Anyway, the logic of the script of this movie is not very strong. American action movies are mainly about the scenes, and the plot and character settings are all for visual impact and laughs, and they are not too rigorous.

Especially after coming from the serious crew of "The Disciples", the script of "Rush Hour 3" seemed like a joke...

But no matter what, this character is the real third male lead in the film.

The third male lead in a Hollywood blockbuster!
If I can get it, star in it, and have it released, it will definitely be of great benefit to my acting career.

So he didn’t bother with the diet plan for the filming of “The Disciples”.

After sitting down on the plane, I kept asking the flight attendant for meals.

Cake, ice cream, steak, rice bowl, pasta, fruit, milk, cola...

He ate five sets of airplane meals alone!

The flight attendants were terrified, fearing that he had died in the sky.

The guy sitting next to me was also stunned.

He poked his head across the aisle.

This person also brought a copy of the original novel of "Drawing Sword" and planned to read it on the plane.

After all, the TV series was so popular that the original novel sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

But after seeing Zhang Yuan's appetite, he only read the cover along the way...

How can novels be as interesting as food shows!

"Are you going abroad on public funds?" he asked.

Looking at the way he looks like, you would think it's his first time flying first class.

After a bout of binge eating, he clearly felt more energetic and his physical strength had recovered a little.

After getting off the plane, I got in the car and headed to New Line Cinema.

Halfway through the journey, I rolled down the window and took a deep breath.

Sniff...

Haha!

Zhang Yuan blew his nose.

Who the hell said that the air in the Lighthouse Country is sweet?

It clearly smells like garbage and exhaust, it stinks to death!

If it wasn't for making money, I wouldn't have come to this crappy place.

He led his assistant into the office building and took the elevator all the way up.

"Hey, you're here!"

The eldest brother has arrived and is waiting outside the meeting room.

"Are you confident?"

"Of course I have confidence, but I don't know if these foreigners know what they are talking about."

"Hahahaha...Okay!" Uncle Long felt relieved when he saw that he spoke so confidently.

"Hello, Zhang!"

At this time, a fat white American also came up and greeted Zhang Yuan.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

This person is the New Line project manager who had previously visited the "Curse of the Golden Flower" crew and recognized him at a meeting a few days ago.

Fortunately, when he was in China, he had a good communication with Commissioner Smith and they had formed a good relationship.

If the opposite had happened, and we had accidentally offended someone, there would be no gathering in the open sea today.

After a brief chat, they entered the conference room together.

Uncle Long enthusiastically introduced him to all the senior executives of the crew, from producers to directors.

After greeting everyone one by one, we got down to business.

Zhang Yuan distributed a booklet of information he had prepared in advance to each participant.

The foreigners were all shocked.

Wasn't he called here at short notice?

So well prepared?

Uncle Long smiled brightly when he saw that he was fully prepared and not at all nervous in this unfamiliar environment.

Because he knew very well that white people and Chinese people were different.

For white people, it is better to say well than to do well.

This is one of the reasons why Indians are doing better than Chinese in North America.

I can blow it!
A brief resume introduction is essential.

Those TV dramas were briefly mentioned, and Zhang Yuan mainly introduced his film acting experience.

“I’ve starred in films that won awards at the Cannes Film Festival.”

Zhang Yuan took out the information about "Qinghong".

“The filming of a kung fu comedy.”

Under his command, everyone turned to the last few pages, where a general introduction to "Kung Fu" appeared.

The box office in mainland China was 1.7 million yuan, and the box office in Hong Kong exceeded 6000 million Hong Kong dollars.

More importantly, "Kung Fu" was the Chinese box office champion in 2004!

When the foreigners saw this, they all nodded.

And several people know this film.

After "Kung Fu" was released in North America, it earned 1700 million US dollars at the box office, which is pretty good.

However, these foreigners took a look at the accompanying stills.

The Axe Gang boss's retro slicked-back suit and paranoid and evil appearance.

The contrast with the yellow-skinned young man in front of him is too great.

"This year I also starred in two Chinese costume palace dramas."

“The Banquet and Curse of the Golden Flower.”

“Directed by two of China’s most renowned directors.”

The foreigners flipped back and saw Zhang Yuan's looks in the two films.

These people are all familiar with the names of Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, after all, they are the most representative directors in China.

I saw the stills from these two movies again.

Zhang Yuan in "Night Banquet" is dressed in white, looking elegant and graceful.

In "Curse of the Golden Flower", he was dressed in golden clothes, looking elegant and luxurious.

Plus the Axe Gang boss from before.

The styling in these three dramas is extremely different. Although it is the same person, they do not look like the same person.

The producer and director were whispering to each other, and the other white people present were also talking in low voices.

Seeing that they were obviously interested in him, Zhang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

My goal has been achieved.

He wants to tell foreigners through this information.

He is very famous in China, and the works he starred in either won major awards, had extremely high box office, or he collaborated with top directors.

I have very high demands on myself and my works!
I am not an unknown person.

Moreover, the characters and styles in each play are different, and I am very adaptable.

Foreigners feel this.

They say that seeing something is worth hearing a hundred times.

Well, you will see it today!

As far as "PPT" is concerned, foreigners are quite satisfied with his situation.

Even stronger than what Uncle Long described.

"Well, Zhang." After discussing for a while, producer Roger spoke.

"Can you come over there for a minute?"

"what?"

"Is that it?" Roger said, pointing to a bottle of mineral water on the table with the cap unscrewed.

"The one who opens the bottle cap with his foot."

"Oh..." Zhang Yuan understood: "Of course."

After watching the short film, the foreigners were particularly impressed by the scene where the bottle cap was opened with a roundhouse kick.

"But I need a bigger space."

"Please follow us." The producer became excited.

He led everyone and Zhang Yuan to a warehouse on the ground floor of the company.

After opening the rolling door, there are some sundries piled inside, such as unused props and equipment.

Overall, there are several hundred square meters of vacant space, which is indeed large enough.

Uncle Long also came along and watched from the side with a smile on his face, not looking worried at all.

He knew that Zhang Yuan could handle these foreigners.

Zhang Yuan brought down the bottle of mineral water that the producer had pointed out from the conference room. He unscrewed it first, then tightened the cap slightly.

Normally you can go straight up, but now we do this to prevent rollover.

"Mr. Roger, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

"Take this bottle of water."

Zhang Yuan certainly knew that Hollywood followed the producer responsibility system.

Therefore, the producer of the crew has the greatest power.

But, I am fighting against the elite!

Just because you have great power and a lot of say, I want you to feel it!

Roger was a little hesitant, but the white master also had to save his face.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

I was the one who asked them to perform, so I can't be scared now.

The man had no choice but to hold the plastic bottle full of water in his hand, stretch his arms as far as possible, and keep his body, especially his head, away from the bottle.

He looked like a middle-aged man who, in order to show off during the Chinese New Year, would light firecrackers with a cigarette in his mouth and then release them in his hands. He was both frivolous and cowardly.

"Mr. Roger, please don't move." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"If you move around, you might get kicked in the head, and something serious might happen."

"Ah...oh oh oh." I was scared by this foreigner.

"Don't move. Don't move at all."

"understood."

"How about you close your eyes?"

"Okay." Roger turned his head and narrowed his eyes.

This feeling of wanting to watch but not daring to watch is exactly the same as the state of those junior high school girls when watching horror movies.

"Okay, I'll be ready soon..." Zhang Yuan said, and then a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wait, Mr. Roger, there's a little problem."

"What's wrong?" After hearing this, the producer opened his eyes and turned around.

But right now!
He only felt a gust of wind passing in front of him!
A black shadow flew past his eyes quickly, and the sound of air friction even made his cheeks feel dry.

There was a "swoosh" sound, and the bottle cap spun in front of him and flew into the air.

Zhang Yuan deliberately caught him off guard in order to leave the producer with an unforgettable impression!
When the man turned around, Zhang Yuan just kicked the bottle cap.

This person was in the "front row, front seat" and saw everything clearly!

This kind of "JUMP SCARE"-like jump-on-the-face attack gave this guy a big scare!

When I get scared, all the muscles in my body tighten, including my arm.

He was stunned and flattened the mineral water bottle that had lost the protection of the bottle cap.

For a moment, water splashed everywhere.

clap clap clap...

There was constant applause.

Producer Roger's heart was pounding.

"OH MY FXXKING GOD..."

It took me a while to come back to my senses and join the applause.

"NEW BEE!"

All the foreigners in the audience exclaimed in unison.

The Chinese national curse has been spread from person to person at New Line Cinema in New York, more than 1 kilometers away.

Uncle Long was the one who clapped the loudest in the crowd.

Especially the way Zhang Yuan teased the producer just now was very much to his liking!
When we Chinese go abroad, we cannot be timid and cowardly!
That's what he thinks.

He felt that Zhang Yuan's relaxed and confident attitude, which not only treated him neither arrogantly nor servilely but also made him dare to joke with others, was bringing glory to the country.

"Bravo!" producer Roger exclaimed.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

Why should I feel relieved?

When Uncle Long brought this short film before, the bottle cap kicking move was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

However, after the meeting, Roger found a Hollywood martial arts director to experiment.

The action director has practiced karate and his skills are quite good.

But after trying several times, I still couldn't kick the bottle cap away accurately.

This caused suspicion among the producers and other senior executives of the crew.

“It can’t be a special effect.”

This is called habitual thinking and path dependence.

Because they in Hollywood are not good at fighting scenes, but they are extremely good at special effects.

When I can’t do something, my first reaction is that others have used special effects.

Because if they do it themselves, they will definitely have to do animation to complete it.

But after asking people from the company's post-production department to watch the short film repeatedly, no traces of special effects were found.

This puts them in a cycle of suspicion.

That's why the producer suggested that he perform this move just now.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is confirmed that there is really no special effect!

These Chinese young people have such skills!
Seeing these white gentlemen looking like they had never seen the world, Zhang Yuan smiled brightly.

But it's not over yet!

He came prepared today.

"Thank you all for your encouragement." Zhang Yuan said in English with a slight Chinese accent.

"I still have something to show for it."

"What?" Roger asked.

"Do you have any basins here? I mean, large basins, plastic or wooden will do."

Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Roger still took care of his subordinates to find it.

This just happened to be a warehouse, and within a few minutes, a large stainless steel basin with a very North American style was found.

This basin must be as big as the bathtub for children.

However, the thin skin and large filling make the bowl itself not heavy.

Zhang Yuan stepped on it roughly, confirmed the weight, and then spoke.

"Is there water?"

"Pour about one-fifth of water into this basin."

Roger was stunned by his kick just now. He was extremely curious and naturally followed the instructions.

This is called the shadow of a tree.

If it hadn't been for that kick just now, the old white man wouldn't have waited for him so obediently.

Soon someone brought a bucket of water and poured it into the big basin.

After pouring the water, Zhang Yuan took a look and found it was a little more than 1/5, which was about right.

He stepped on the edge of the basin again and felt that it was about right.

Then I started warming up on the spot.

Not only do they stretch their legs, they also swing their arms and twist their waists to warm up their whole bodies.

When foreigners saw him like this, they all murmured.

"Is this little brother going to do aerobics?"

Not to mention them, even Uncle Long couldn't figure out what he was planning to do.

I want to ask but I don't dare to ask because I'm afraid to disturb him.

But then I thought, this kid has never let me down, and his performance is always better than I expected.

So he patiently watched quietly from the side.

After five or six minutes, Zhang Yuan twisted his neck and finished warming up.

"OK!" He gestured.

Just when everyone's curious eyes were focused on him.

Zhang Yuan relaxed his knees, bent his legs slightly, and relaxed his arms at both sides of his body, making the starting position.

Then he took a deep breath.

rub!
I saw my leg muscles tense instantly.

His bent legs instantly straightened, like two springs, lifting his body into the air.

In less than a second, he flew into the air and landed steadily.

However, his foothold was not on the ground.

If it were the edge of that big basin!

Zhang Yuan's feet stood firmly on the edge of the stainless steel basin filled with water.

Stand upright in an incredible posture.

This is a metal basin, and the edge of the basin is only half a centimeter wide.

Ordinary people don't even think about standing firm.

What's more, this is the edge of a basin, not a stretched steel cable!
The center of gravity of the basin is in the middle, not on the edge.

"Ah!" The foreigners all opened their mouths wide when they saw this.

When the mouth is open, it is easy for people to have bold ideas.

Not to mention them, even Uncle Long was shocked.

But that’s not all!
After Zhang Yuan stabilized his body, he bent his legs again.

At the same time, the waist is relaxed and dropped, with the hands making alternating forward and backward movements in front of the body.

Then... he walked slowly back and forth along the edge of the basin!
