More than 10,000 purchased a very good set of four treasures of the study, although it is a modern product, but the pen, ink, paper, inkstone are all good products, Yu Yuanqing old man has no love for cultural relics, so there is no need to spend a high price to ask for antiques, besides, if you let Yu Lao know that Zhang Wei spent too much money to buy gifts, it is estimated that the old man will not like it, that is not against the original intention of Zhang Wei to visit.

When Zhang Wei went to visit his master with a gift, his sister Yu Xiaomei was also there, but she was not polite to Zhang Wei, and criticized Zhang Wei in front of her father, mainly because she felt that Zhang Wei really didn't study hard, and she didn't want to study hard because her basic skills were not solid, but she wanted to get involved in the entertainment industry, and she had a lot of opinions about it. On the contrary, Yu Yuanqing was supportive of Zhang Wei's development in the entertainment industry, and just told Zhang Wei to learn the basic skills well and not bury his good voice.

Seeing that his senior sister was really thinking about herself, Zhang Wei was not angry, and assured his senior sister that he would definitely work hard to strengthen his studies to promote his own progress, and also asked Yu Xiaomei if he had any acquaintances at the Central Academy of Drama and Yenching Film and Television Academy, and he recently wanted to strengthen his shortcomings in acting. Yu Xiaomei did not object to this, but in front of Zhang Wei, she called a professor at Yenching Film and Television Academy and told Zhang Wei about it.

That's it, Zhang Wei recently added another study plan, when he went to the weekday, he went to the Yenching Film and Television Academy to audit, and maximized the systematic performance learning.

From Monday to Friday, Zhang Wei audited in the Film and Television Academy, and on weekends Zhang Wei went to the Academy of Chinese Opera to participate in the study, taking time to broadcast live at night, writing songs in his spare time, and the sculptures were not left behind.

At the beginning of May, Zhang Wei took a set of covers for "Grace" magazine in a professional photo studio in Yanjing, although there was no money for this job, but with the sales of "Style" magazine and the crowd faced, it was very helpful to enhance Zhang Wei's popularity, and it was a win-win situation for each other. A few days before Zhang Wei was about to go to Hollywood, he completed the filming of the "O bubble" mobile phone commercial, and after "The World II" and recent acting studies, it was still not a problem for him to shoot an advertisement. The female star who filmed this mobile phone advertisement with Zhang Wei is the popular "Hua Dan" Zhao Liying, who may be from a small place, and after this cooperation, the two have become good friends.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Wei learned two more skills during this time, one was the racial magic "camouflage" that he learned at the suggestion of the Elven Heart. According to Elf Heart, after learning the "camouflage" skill, the "dressing" in the artistic skills Zhang Wei learned has a complementary effect, and the "camouflage" skill also contains a profound imitation of characters, animals, plants and other creatures, which is of great help to Zhang Wei's work as an actor, so Zhang Wei followed the advice of the Elf Heart. Another skill that Zhang Wei learns is "architecture" in life skills, and learning "architecture" is mainly because this skill is somewhat related to the two skills of "painting" and "carving" in art skills, and Zhang Wei mainly considers that learning magic is completely random, with his current mental power, if he learns a fifth-level magic, it will cause a lot of burden on his mental power, and he doesn't want to live listlessly all day long.

There are still three days left before the audition of the cast of "Predatory City: Deadly Engine", Zhang Wei, Zhang Shilan, and Li Mo boarded the plane to the United States. After a long journey of more than ten hours, Zhang Wei set foot outside the country for the first time, which made him a little excited, LAX Airport is the busiest passenger airport in California, and the third largest airport in the United States, ranking fifth in the world, so this huge airport still shocked Zhang Wei. When I walked out of the airport, I saw an old black man holding a sign with a name written crookedly in Chinese characters - "Zhang Wei" in the distance.

This old black man named Jix, is Zhang Shilan's driver booked online, in the next week, Jix will become their full-time driver, this old man's son is a teacher at the "UCLA Confucius Institute", has studied in China for three years, influenced by his son, Jix can also a little simple Chinese, so he will be selected by Zhang Shilan to be the driver of this trip.

The three of them came to Jix, and Zhang Shilan asked in fluent English, "Are you Jix?"

"I'm, this gentleman is Mr. Zhang from Huaxia, right?" asked Gix.

"Yes, this is Mr. Zhang, and I am Ms. Zhang, and this is Ms. Li. Zhang Shilan simply introduced the three to Jix.

Gix helped load the luggage onto the cart and asked, "Ms. Zhang is Mr. Zhang's wife?"

"No, we just have the same last name, you can call me Lisa, this is my English name. "Zhang Shilan was an exchange student for a year, so it's not surprising that she has an English name.

The two of them used English between conversations, and Zhang Wei, an English novice, couldn't understand it at all, so he asked Li Mo in a low voice, "What are these two people muttering?"

"Sister Shilan is introducing us to Jix, he heard that you are all surnamed Zhang, thinking that Sister Lan is your wife, Sister Lan said that her English name is Lisa, not your wife. Although Li Mo has never gone abroad, she also passed the sixth level of English in college, so there is no problem with simple listening, writing, and speaking, but her oral expression is not as slippery as Zhang Shilan.

"Didn't you say that this old man could speak Chinese? Why do you keep talking in English?" Zhang Wei muttered dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Wei didn't speak loudly, but he didn't expect the old man Jix to turn around and say in strange-sounding Mandarin: "Mandarin, a little bit, I will too, Lisa in English, I am used to responding, deliberately not." ”

Don't look at Jix as an old man, but people are deaf and clear-sighted, and in such a noisy environment as the airport, they can also hear Zhang Wei's words, and understand Zhang Wei's words. This made Zhang Wei a little embarrassed, a little bit of a feeling of talking about right and wrong behind his back, so he said against his will: "You speak Mandarin well." ”

Gix grinned, "My son, the pronunciation is poor, the grammar is even worse, the Mandarin is difficult, and I don't want to." ”

Zhang Wei was also amused by what the old man said, and felt that the comment with worse grammar was appropriate.

The group was led out of the airport by Gix, put their luggage in the car, and Gix reminded them to fasten their seatbelts and set off. Gix is very talkative, and although he talks backwards, he is still very active in introducing Zhang Wei and the others to the buildings along the road in Los Angeles, and reminding them that there are some places that they should not go to at night, because it will be very dangerous. Hollywood is not far from LAX Airport, and Giggies is just over an hour's drive away.

Sent the three to the hotel, and confirmed with Zhang Shilan that there was nothing to do, Gix drove away, he will stay in a motel these days, on call 24 hours a day, as long as Zhang Shilan makes a phone call, he will arrive at the hotel where the three people are within fifteen minutes.

The room has been booked online a long time ago, Zhang Shilan and Li Mo live in one, Zhang Wei is alone, after registration, it is already more than four o'clock in local time, and it is four o'clock in the morning in Huaxia, the second daughter is a little tired because of the time difference, so she took a nap in the hotel, Zhang Wei was in good spirits, but he didn't know English, so he had to stay in the hotel to read.

In the evening, the three of them had an authentic Western meal in the hotel, but Zhang Wei felt that the steak in this star-rated hotel was not as delicious as Huaxia, although the meat was very tender, but the blood in it made Zhang Wei a little unappetizing. Zhang Shilan saw that Zhang Wei didn't seem to be used to eating, so she ordered another pasta for Zhang Wei, and barely ate a few bites.

In the evening, the second daughter rested early, and Zhang Wei also began to meditate in the room, and there was nothing to say all night.

The next day, Zhang Shilan called Jason, an assistant director of "Predatory City: Deadly Engine", indicating that Zhang Wei had arrived in Hollywood and asked about the location and time of the interview the day after tomorrow. After answering this question, Jason said that director Pete Jackson was by his side, and asked Zhang Wei if he had time now, and there was something he wanted to communicate with Zhang Wei.

The three of them thought that they would be fine today, and planned to go to famous attractions such as the Avenue of Stars, the Wax Museum and the Huaxia Grand Theater, but who knew that Pete couldn't wait to meet Zhang Wei, which made the plan to play fall through. However, the three of them are not here for tourism, they are here for work, and now the director wants to meet the actors, of course the three of them can't refuse, so they asked Pete's address on the phone, and then called the driver Gix, and sent the three to the headquarters of Universal Pictures where Pete is located.

After arriving, Zhang Shilan made a phone call to Jason, and soon Jason appeared in front of the building and took the three to Pete's office.

Pete's first impression of Zhang Wei reminded him of the dwarves in the Lord of the Rings, not because Pete is very short, but because the personal image of this Pete director is very rough, with unkempt hair, a slightly mouthy hairline, covered by a few handfuls of curly hair, and the beard that can't grow to the cheekbones makes Pete look very heroic.

The rice people are different from the Chinese, most of them are more direct, and the same is true for Pete, after a brief introduction by both sides, there was no much greeting, and Pete got to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you participated in the filming of a movie in Huaxia some time ago, and that film is Xu Ke, a famous kung fu director in Xiangjiang, are you making a kung fu movie?"

After Zhang Shilan's translation, Zhang Wei said: "The name of the movie I made is "Qimen II", and the form of the movie is similar to your "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", but it is more Chinese style, we call this kind of film Xianxian Movie. ”

"Xianxia movie?" Pete obviously didn't understand this term very well, but he didn't dwell on the matter, but asked again: "I want to ask you, in this movie, do you have a lot of action design, that is, Kong-fu, do you know kung fu?"

I went to the train station to pick up someone, but because there was a car accident in front of me, I was stuck in traffic for more than 40 minutes, so I came back late.
