Volume 2 The heart moves with the environment to settle down Chapter 132 The overlord of the hot search list
The matter of martial arts guidance has basically been settled, which is a big deal for Zhang Wei's development, with this position, even if Zhang Wei no longer appears in the movie, he can also use this matter as a propaganda point to build momentum for Zhang Wei in China. In the era of the overall atmosphere of the Chinese film and television industry, "admiring foreign and flattering foreigners", if Zhang Wei appears in a Hollywood blockbuster as an action director, this will play a huge role in enhancing Zhang Wei's status in the film and television industry, not to mention that there is a music production position waiting for him.
The three songs "I Wish to Be the Wind", "The Battle of the Deer" and "Moon Sacrifice" are the three pieces of music that Zhang Wei found from the elven inheritance, so it is not difficult for Zhang Wei to comment on the songs adapted by Williams. Zhang Wei listened to the three songs, found out the flaws in them, gave his own suggestions, modified some of the tunes, and rearranged them. After Zhang Wei's revisions, the three songs were more suitable for the symphony orchestra, and the songs were officially renamed "Homesickness", "Battle of Dawn" and "Artemis Under the Moon".
Seeing Zhang Wei's music creation skills, Pitt's royal music director Williams David appreciated, and Zhang Wei had a lot of discussions on the music creation of the new movie, Zhang Wei is too thin in music theory, but he has the music theory of the elf race as a support, in front of the music master is not the slightest lagging behind, on the contrary, when Williams and Zhang Wei communicate with each other, they will often be touched by some of Zhang Wei's music theories and concepts, broaden their ideas and understanding, the two chatted to the end, Williams can't wait to let Zhang Wei join his team, and swear to Zhang Wei to let him serve as the deputy director of music, but don't Zhang Wei politely refused.
After a day, Zhang Wei's talent has deeply touched Pitt and Williams, and when they parted in the evening, Pete asked Zhang Wei to take his lawyer to Universal Pictures headquarters tomorrow, and he will prepare the two contracts for action direction and music production, and the inconspicuous supporting role in the movie still needs Zhang Wei to get it through auditions in the past the day after tomorrow, many people in the United States do things like this, one yard is one yard, I will not give you the role because you have kung fu and musical talent, unless it is specifically requested by the producer. If the same thing is placed in Huaxia, it will not be a matter, as long as the director appreciates you, it is a matter of one sentence to give you a supporting role.
The next day, Pete did not contact Zhang Wei, which allowed the couple's tour plan to come true, and they had a good visit to the Hollywood World Movie Center and a taste of Hollywood.
On the third day, Zhang Wei went to an interior filming location of Universal Pictures in Hollywood early. Located on the east side of Hollywood, from the outside, this place looks like a Chinese storage center, the park is full of huge rectangular studios, each studio has more than 3,000 square meters, neatly arranged, divided into A, B, C, D four areas, and each district of buildings from 1 row to 10. For example, the ten studios in Area D are natural forest areas, and the No. 1 studio inside is a simulated tropical rainforest, the No. 2 studio is a primeval forest, and the No. 3 studio is a temperate forest, and so on, it is divided into ten different forest environments.
And Zhang Wei: The area they auditioned for today is the B8 studio, which simulates the interior of the house, and many family sitcoms need to be filmed in such a studio, such as "Family with Children" in China and "Friends" in the United States are all filmed in such studios, and there are many cross-sectional house buildings used to shoot indoor scenes.
In addition to the important main actors, all the supporting roles need to be auditioned, and the audition in Hollywood is different from Huaxia, the Huaxia audition is based on the importance of the role, and the difficulty of the audition is also different, while in Hollywood audition, everyone's standards are the same, emotions, lines, and body must be tested, but compared with actors with heavy roles, the audition requirements for dispensable small supporting roles like Zhang Wei are not so high, and you only need to basically complete the audition content.
After all, Zhang Wei is an actor who has participated in film shooting, and he has been constantly strengthening his own learning in the past month or two, so this level of audition is a piece of cake for him, and he passed the audition smoothly and signed a supporting role agreement with "Plundering the City".
The movie "Plundering the City" will not start filming until early August because of the relationship between some schedules of the protagonist and some preparation details, so when Zhang Wei's audition is over, he can return to Huaxia to wait for the crew's start time, but when he called Pete to say goodbye, Pete took Williams to find Zhang Wei's hotel and sincerely kept him, hoping that Zhang Wei could stay in the United States to develop, because both of them valued Zhang Wei's talent.
"Hey, man, I think you're going to limit your development in Huaxia, with your talent, if you stay in Hollywood, I believe that within five years, you'll be a hot martial arts instructor or music producer, I've seen your auditions, and you might even become a rising star in Hollywood, why do you have to leave? Pete was in Zhang Wei's room, chattering and persuading Zhang Wei.
Williams also helped: "Albert (Zhang Wei's English name after coming to China), I don't know about acting and kung fu, but I swear by the music I love, if you are willing to stay in Hollywood to develop, I think with your musical talent, you will definitely become a master of film music on a par with Horner and Rota, stay." ”
In the face of the retention of the two, Zhang Wei said: "Two, I am flattered that you appreciate me so much, but it is impossible for me to stay in Hollywood to develop, because my home is in China, and Chinese culture makes Chinese people do not understand their attachment to home, so it is difficult for you to understand my feelings. ”
Pete was still a little unrelenting, and said, "You shouldn't be so stubborn at your age, I'm just worried that you will wear out your talent in Huaxia, don't you really think about it anymore?"
Zhang Wei smiled: "No, there is a saying in our hometown, which is called 'gold shines wherever it is'." ”
"Well, it looks like we can't persuade you, man, you're really courageous, there aren't many actors in Hollywood who can turn down an invitation from the two of us. Pete is a little unhappy, but this kind of emotion will not affect the cooperation between each other, after all, the two sides have only known each other for two or three days, how deep can the friendship be in such a short period of time? The two are just purely appreciating Zhang Wei's talent, so they will take a lot of time, but since they see that Zhang Wei has made up his mind, they will not be reluctant, there are many talented young people in Hollywood, and they have seen a lot, and the two do not want to be strong.
The short trip to the United States ended in four days, and on the fifth day, Zhang Wei and his party booked a ticket to return to China, they didn't know that the domestic news about Zhang Wei was on the hot search again.
The reason for the matter is very simple, it is normal for Chinese singers to make movies across borders, but there are not many people like Zhang Wei who jumped to Hollywood at once. And being able to receive an invitation to audition for a well-known director like Pete Jackson is even more unprecedented, how could the news media not pay attention to Zhang Wei's movements, so from Zhang Wei to the United States, the news media have begun to collect Zhang Wei's whereabouts, but because of a foreign country, some reporters can't go, and the reporters stationed in the United States can't find the hotel where Zhang Wei stayed and the specific news of the audition.
However, with the success of Zhang Wei's audition, when a reporter from the United States interviewed Pete, Pete still revealed part of the information, which let the Chinese reporters know the news of Zhang Wei's successful audition, and in order to hype the upcoming movie "Plunder the City", Pitt also revealed that Zhang Wei is not only a supporting actor, but also serves as the action director and music production of the film, which makes the media a little explosive. The reporters who have been chasing the film and television industry all the year round are no strangers to action directors, and the famous Uncle Yuan Qi is very familiar with the entertainment notes of the rice country, because the classic fighting actions in movies such as "The Matrix" and "Kill Bill" that he participated in the production of are very influential even in the United States, so the entertainment reporters of the rice country do not feel any strange for Hollywood directors to use Chinese action directors, what surprises them is that this Zhang Wei is just an unknown person, why can he serve as the action director of Pitt's new movie?
Pete also responded to this, claiming that Zhang Wei may not be the best action director in Huaxia, but he has learned Zhang Wei's real kung fu, which is a master who can be compared to Bruce Lee, with real kung fu, and Zhang Wei's kung fu is suitable for the needs of the movie "Plundering the City". While answering this question, Pete also regretted that he had invited Zhang Wei to stay in Hollywood three times and twice, but Zhang Wei refused, because Zhang Wei is a family lover and does not have the temperament of an adult man at all.
Pitt's revelation is just a means of publicity, for Mi Guoyuji, this is just a slightly valuable news, but after this information is known to the Chinese media, you can imagine what kind of shock it will cause.
Zhang Wei auditioned successfully and is about to participate in a Hollywood blockbuster. "This is a news that can be searched for a hot search. "Zhang Wei served as the action director of the blockbuster directed by Pete Jackson" This is another news that can be searched. Pete Jackson claimed that Zhang Wei has real kung fu and is comparable to Bruce Lee" This is simply the news that climbed to the top of the hot search list. "Zhang Wei refused Pete Jackson's repeated invitations and insisted on returning to China for development" This is still the news on the hot search. In contrast, those reporters who like to quote out of context can use news points like ""The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" director Pete Jackson said that Zhang Wei is not manly" and then send Zhang Wei to the hot search.
Zhang Wei didn't know that when he was reading a book on the plane, he established his position as the hegemon on this year's hot search list.
