Chapter 338: A New Hollywood Opportunity
Li Xuan's dual work now is really getting busier, and he has no private rest time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Fortunately, Li Xuan enjoys such a full and busy life very much, and can constantly adjust his personal state very smoothly, and can always let himself have full and vigorous energy and enthusiasm.
For example, just after the filming of the first episode of Huaxia Blue TV's variety show was finished, and some time before the second episode of the show officially started, Li Xuan even had to rush to the United States to participate in a new job for himself.
In fact, Li Xuan is now in the United States, even if he already has a sense of existence, unlike the vast majority of Chinese actors, he can be regarded as debuting in Hollywood at the same time.
The jobs he had received in the United States, especially the filming situation, had now yielded some small results for him.
In particular, the Oriental martial arts kung fu film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which caused a sensation in Hollywood and Western society, cast a magical aura similar to that of Bruce Lee, Jack Cheng and Jett Lee, as if he was the successor of a young oriental action actor. In the eyes of some filmmakers and audiences in Europe and the United States, he is even more expected and malleable than Chow Yunfa, the protagonist of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Even though Li Xuan is not from an action class, he does have the posture of an oriental action star, coupled with a little artistic rendering of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" movie, it is clearly very much like an action star, and the characteristics of the times of the new generation of young people in China, which still makes some European and American audiences curious.
In addition, he has also worked with top Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio, and the release of "Inception" directed by Nolan is even more surprising to Li Xuan, an authentic Chinese, but he can also perform pure Hollywood films that have nothing to do with traditional Oriental films, and can continue to be easily accepted by many European and American audiences.
Of course, during this period, in addition to his comfortable appearance conditions, action routines and appropriate acting talents, as well as the special magical image color of the new era of the ancient Chinese country, what makes European and American audiences care more is that he has always been the top referee of English football, which is even more curious and eye-catching!
Therefore, compared with the vast majority of people in the Chinese entertainment industry, Li Xuan still has a little bit of attention in the United States and Hollywood, but he is not exactly a bare board artist who goes to rub the heat and the topic and the opportunity.
This time, Rob Pelinka, Li Xuan's extremely ambitious agent in Europe and the United States, who also wants to develop across the industry, has successfully provided Li Xuan with several new role audition opportunities.
One of the most striking opportunities is said to be a new-age sci-fi blockbuster prepared by the Wachowski brothers, who are now quite famous in Hollywood, tentatively titled "The Matrix" series.
Before, when he first heard the name of such a movie, Li Xuan's magical ability seemed to flash a similar familiar picture in his mind, so Li Xuan almost immediately accepted his foreign agent's proposal, and decisively flew to the United States to fight for this excellent opportunity, as well as other audition opportunities.
Li Xuan has long been unswerving about his magical abilities, and he will not be surprised at all by his various magical degrees, so he naturally believes that the new series of films in the "Matrix" series is very likely to become a hit.
When Li Xuan successfully arrived in Los Angeles, his American agent explained the specific situation of this role to Li Xuan as soon as possible.
Then, Li Xuan suddenly understood that in this ambitious series of movies, there will be an image of an oriental martial arts master in the middle and late stages of the future, which was originally tailored for Jet Lee. Unfortunately, Jett Lee seems to have some personal matters on the one hand, and on the other hand, the asking price is too high, which leads to the breakdown of negotiations.
Since this film needs to train the actors' oriental routines and physical fitness half a year in advance, it is natural to find all the characters in the series in advance and train together.
So, the director, who is still known as the Wachowski brothers, couldn't help but find a way to find a similar replacement, and naturally, they took the initiative to ask for help and found Yuan Heping, the action director of this film from the East.
Yuan Heping almost didn't think about it, knowing that for the Wachowski brothers, Jett Lee couldn't play it, and Jack Cheng Na wouldn't play a minor role that didn't play too many roles, and Chow Yunfa didn't seem to have a kung fu foundation, and he didn't have the temperament of a real oriental kung fu action actor. And the rest of the famous action actors, whether they are Xiangjiang or Huaxia, have no sense of existence in the United States at all. Therefore, under the balance of Yuan Heping, he simply recommended his beloved disciple Zheng Dan and Ni Xin, one of the members of the Yuan family's class, to the nearest place.
Seeing this, the Wachowski director brother tentatively decided to let these two people audition.
But at this moment, when their director brother met and chatted with Leonardo DiCaprio once, he invited him to be the absolute actor of the film. Although Xiao Lizi did not agree to participate in this series of movies, he learned that Director Wachowski's brother lacked kung fu actors during the chat, so he casually said that Li Xuan, a Chinese football referee who also starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Inception", and is also an actor, thinks that Li Xuan is quite able to perform oriental action routines, and seems to be a suitable action actor, and he is also very interesting.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, the Wachowski director brother already admires the action scenes of the East, and then briefly learned about Li Xuan's situation, knowing that he also worked with Jack Cheng to make movies, and simply watched his performance in films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Inception", and soon notified the casting director and sent Li Xuan an invitation to audition.
According to agent Rob Pelinka, Li Xuan's ability to get an audition invitation for a role in the "Matrix" series of movies can be regarded as a recommendation from Leonardo DiCaprio, even if the other party just said casually during chatting.
In this situation, Li Xuan had a feeling of luck. This is indeed a bonus, I didn't expect that meeting a big Hollywood star as a friend would have such benefits.
Of course, Li Xuan won't really tell Xiao Li Zi that he is actually not a kung fu routine action actor. Not all Chinese people know Chinese kung fu routines.
He mainly relied on his young body, as well as the on-site action interpretation teaching from the playback of magical abilities, as well as the help of the crew's martial arts instructors. But he doesn't know much about the real oriental kung fu action routines.
However, while it's only an opportunity to audition for a minor role, it's also an important one. After all, he is a foreigner, still a yellow race, and if he wants to develop well in Hollywood, he does not have the status of Jett Lee and Jack Cheng, so it is better to move forward step by step.
Therefore, even if Li Xuan didn't start with kung fu routines, he still worked hard for this audition, and he would not give up, but still had the idea of wanting to win.
He is an actor, as long as he shows the kung fu posture that the director needs and conquers the director, even if he really doesn't know all kinds of traditional oriental kung fu routines, there is no problem. Anyway, with his body, it's not that he can't show it, at most, it will cost a little more.
