I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 519, "Fast & Furious 6," is finally here!

"OH!"

"Chan, you're so popular!"

Damien Chazelle, witnessing the grand spectacle before him, finally gained a clear understanding of Chen Jin's popularity.

They had long heard of Chen Jin's influence.

Unexpectedly, it became so popular that people would recognize it on the streets of Los Angeles.

Chen Jin smiled faintly and remained silent.

If he doesn't even have this much appeal, then haven't he been working for nothing all these years?

The group arrived at Bestia.

This small restaurant, brimming with industrial aesthetics and artistic flair, is characterized by its rugged concrete and exposed brick walls.

The overall environment is relatively relaxed and comfortable.

The main reason is that Damian Chazelle has limited funds.

Compared to the shops frequented by some celebrities, he definitely wants to find a place that is more affordable and has a great atmosphere.

"cheers!"

"May your startup bring good fortune."

Damian Chazelle appeared more excited than the others present.

After all, he put in more effort than anyone else present before filming began.

He needs to pay close attention to every step.

Chen Jin downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and the atmosphere around him made him feel cheerful.

Zhu Yanmanz sat next to Chen Jin.

My body moved rhythmically to the music.

No wonder foreigners like to relax in a small bar after a long day of work.

This feeling is truly wonderful.

Alcohol and music have dispelled all the fatigue of the day.

"Chan".

"I'll toast you."

Damian Chazelle raised his glass, his face flushed with excitement.

"Thank you for giving me a chance."

“These three words may not mean much to you, but they are the only thing I can do right now.”

"If it weren't for you, I might not have had the chance to start this project."

Again.

Chen Jin couldn't help but rub her forehead; Damien Chazelle had already said the words of thanks over and over again.

Compared to his reasoned arguments when he demanded a 400 million investment.

Now he seems knowledgeable and reasonable.

"OK."

"Damian, I'm saying this to you one last time."

"No need for thanks in the future. What we need to do now is to bring this work to its fullest potential."

"I believe—"

"Whiplash will definitely achieve great results."

Of course.

After all, Chen Jin already knew the results of "Whiplash" through the system, so winning it was something she was determined to achieve.

Damien Chazelle put his hands together and looked at Chen Jin.

"Yes! I believe you too."

Chen Jin shrugged, and then everyone else present raised their glasses again.

The atmosphere at this gathering was quite good; at least the relationships among everyone were much better than on the day of the reading session.

Precisely.

This talented Eastern filmmaker remained remarkably friendly throughout.

After three rounds of drinking.

Damian Chadley was noticeably more talkative.

He recounted in detail his unfulfilled potential and struggles against fate in the first half of his life.

Chen Jin can understand him.

Although I haven't experienced what he went through, scoring just over 200 points before the college entrance exam was enough to make him heartbroken for a long time.

As for now.

His life will only be smooth sailing.

As midnight approached, the group finally finished eating and drinking.

Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz returned to the hotel, still carrying the scent of everyday life.

"I'm so happy."

Seeing his girlfriend so excited, Chen Jin casually pulled her close.

What made you happy?

Perhaps because she had been drinking, Zhu Yanmanzi's eyes were filled with tears.

Just looking at them makes one feel pity for them.

"because of you."

"Because I can be by your side, because I've seen so many people working hard for their lives."

"because--"

"I love you."

Chen Jin paused, not expecting Zhu Yanmanzi to take this opportunity to confess her feelings to him.

"fool."

He never told Zhu Yanmanz that his days were exceptionally fulfilling because of her presence.

The two went into the bathroom.

The smell of alcohol was washed away.

Perhaps because she was too tired from filming today, Chen Jin fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

As for Zhu Yanmanzi...

On the contrary, they are very energetic.

Looking at the familiar eyes and brows beside her, Zhu Yanmanzi felt exceptionally happy.

The two of us have walked side by side to this point, and it all feels like a dream.

the next day.

Chen Jin's alarm clock interrupted their sweet dream.

To be honest, drinking really does lead to trouble.

Chen Jin was now suffering from a splitting headache. If it weren't for the fact that he had scenes to film today, he would have really wanted to lie in the hotel and sleep for the rest of his days.

"Honey, get up."

Zhu Yanmanzi has always been an extremely dedicated person to her work.

Before starting, you will also make sure you are in peak condition.

Forcing herself to sit up, Chen Jin walked toward the bathroom.

"Today you can choose to stay at the hotel, or Paula can take you for a walk around the area."

"You must be really bored always coming with me to the film set."

"No! I want to stay with you."

Zhu Yanmanz shook her head vigorously, and said again, "Wherever you go, I will go."

Being with other people or staying in the hotel would be boring; being able to accompany Chen Jin was a very happy thing for her.

The heartwarming moment has ended.

The two quickly packed up and then drove to the film set.

Damien Chazelle and others had already arrived at the film set.

Compared to yesterday's drinking spree, they showed absolutely no signs of discomfort.

Everyone is still full of energy.

Everyone greeted each other and then began the makeup process.

Efficiency is key for films like theirs; everything, from filming to every other aspect, must be done to the highest standard.

Today's scenes are definitely a highlight.

As a result, everyone quickly got into the zone.

"Everyone in his place."

"Whiplash, Day 2, Show 6."

"Action".

With Damien Chazelle's command, all staff members present had assembled.

Chen Jin pushed open the door in front of her.

His shrunken gaze fell straight down after he entered the classroom.

Inside the room, the students were each tuning their own instruments.

In reality, no one cared about Chen Jin's appearance.

Seeing this, Chen Jin began to scan his surroundings until his gaze fell on a man in red.

He was intimately entangled with his girlfriend.

His fingers gently stroked the woman's hair, and their eyes were already locked in an ambiguous gaze.

"Who is this, Ryan!"

A black man walked past Chen Jin without giving him any attention.

"How long has it been?"

"Chen's drumming was terrible—" Upon hearing the person in front of him complain, Chen Jin tried his best to hide his disappointment.

"Hey Chen, how's the weekend?"

"It's great, I'm very happy."

Austin Stowell is the man in red from earlier.

He is the drummer for Fletcher Jazz Band, the same band as Andrew, and is one of their rivals.

"Ignore Greg, he's just a foul-mouthed person."

Austin Stowe shrugged, instinctively offering comfort to Chen Jin.

"fine."

This clip is enough to show that Chen Jin is just an inconspicuous and possibly isolated presence in the entire trainer's band.

The other team members, in particular, did not treat him well, and some even treated him badly.

perhaps.

Everyone encounters setbacks on the road to success.

Only by ignoring these difficulties and obstacles can a true transformation be achieved.

boom--

Just as everyone was training, an uninvited guest suddenly barged into the classroom.

In the lens.

J.K. Simmons strode up to the students.

"you do not mind?"

Although his tone was questioning, it possessed an undeniable air of authority.

So much so that the training instructor quickly gave up his seat.

The other students present also became somewhat nervous because of this unexpected guest.

After all, J.K. Simmons was known throughout the college for his strictness.

A fleeting look of disdain crossed his face as he glanced at the training manual in front of him.

"How childish."

"The next line, small trumpet 78 measures."

"Three or four."

"Drummer, try double the swing."

Austin Stowe quickly picked up his drumsticks and struck the drumhead heavily in front of him.

Chen Jin looked down at the drumsticks in her hand.

At this moment, his eyes held so many emotions.

"stop!"

"The one in the back."

Suddenly called out by name, Chen Jin abruptly raised her head and then switched places with Austin Stowe.

The students present all knew what J.K. Simmons's appearance meant.

If they are selected, they can join the Fletcher Jazz Band.

That's right.

Fletcher was the mentor standing before him.

Terence Fletcher was the conductor of the band, and all the students flocked to his band.

This is the top student band in the entire Shaffer School of Music.

Chen Jin was striking the drumhead in front of her when J.K. Simmons gestured for her to stop.

The sudden action left Chen Jin somewhat puzzled.

"Drummer, come with me."

Austin Stowe smiled as soon as J.K. Simmons spoke.

This is the highest honor.

Each selected student will have a different fate from that of the next.

only--

As Austin Stowe got up to follow J.K. Simmons away, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"It wasn't you, it was him."

Chen Jin's eyes clearly showed shock!

He seemed unable to believe his ears, so much so that he sat still without making any movement.

After a while, he immediately got up and went over.

The trainees looked at each other, clearly having some differing opinions about the result.

Until Chen Jin walked up to J.K. Simmons.

"Room B126, 6 a.m. tomorrow."

Don't be late.

After saying that, J.K. Simmons turned and left the training room.

The music started playing again in the training room, and Chen Jin wore a joyful smile.

He looked up at Austin Stowe in front of him, his expression clearly filled with a subtle sense of victory.

As for the latter's face, the expression had frozen.

"OK."

"Everyone, let's take a break."

Damien Chazelle snapped his fingers, admitting that the filming over the past two days had given him a deeper understanding of Chen Jin.

He was completely convinced.

Given Chen Jin's abilities, their film is sure to achieve great success.

Everyone was now sitting together.

Compared to the morning's filming, everyone is still full of fighting spirit.

buzzing-

Just then, Chen Jin's phone rang.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it. Only when Chen Jin took out the phone did they notice the note flashing on it.

It's Vin Diesel.

When the phone rang at this time, Chen Jin could roughly guess what it was about.

With "Fast & Furious 6" about to be released, it might be time for this group of people to reunite.

"Hello, Diesel."

As soon as Chen Jin spoke, everyone present looked towards where he was.

Vin Diesel?

He is arguably one of the top and most commercially valuable stars in Hollywood today.

Especially in the "Fast & Furious" series, he is undoubtedly the soul of the franchise.

Just as everyone was wondering how the two knew each other, Damien Chazelle suddenly realized.

The two collaborated on "Fast & Furious 6," and when the news was first released, it drew a lot of backlash.

but--

Vin Diesel was a strong supporter at the time.

This led to Chen Jin's collaboration with the "Fast & Furious" series.

It has to be said that a person's circle of friends is enough to show their strength.

Someone like Vin Diesel is someone that none of the people present would have the chance to meet even if they wanted to.

However, Chen Jin was able to receive a call from him personally.

"boy!"

"You came to Los Angeles to film a movie and didn't even think to hang out with me!"

Faced with Vin Diesel's words, Chen Jin couldn't help but facepalm.

Don’t say anything else.

He has been spending all his time on the film set ever since he arrived in Los Angeles.

Where would I find the leisure time to go out and catch up with old friends?

"My mistake, but I think we should be able to meet soon."

Upon hearing Chen Jin's words, everyone present perked up their ears, naturally curious about what these two superstars would talk about when they got together.

"Hahaha, as expected."

You guessed it.

"You, the main villain, absolutely must be there for the premiere of 'Fast & Furious 6' on May 21st."

It should have been communicated with Chen Jin's agent.

However, Vin Diesel doesn't follow those rules, and besides, the two are already on good terms in private, so they wouldn't bother with any formalities.

In this regard.

Chen Jin naturally had no objections.

In comparison, he would naturally be happy to participate in such activities.

Increased exposure in Hollywood comes from these kinds of events every day.

"of course."

"I will be there on time."

Vin Diesel was clearly satisfied after receiving a definite answer from Chen Jin.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they both hung up the phone.

As Chen Jin put her phone back in her pocket, it aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

Are you going to the premiere of "Fast & Furious 6"?

Zhu Yanmanz's question immediately drew everyone's attention—
