Although Zhou Yunfa is not taken seriously by the new agency, he is not short of money, so he now lives in a high-end apartment near WMA. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt noon, Zhou Yunfa was having lunch with his agent Anna. Anna is a shrewd and capable beauty full of the charm of a mature woman, of course, there is no need to worry about some strange things happening, because it was Zhou Yanfa's wife's idea to invite her to dinner.

"Anna, didn't you find Ah Fa's script today?" The three of them chatted while eating, and Zhou Yunfa's wife, Chen Huilian, asked seemingly unintentionally.

Anna is proficient in many Chinese, and Chinese is one of them, otherwise she would not have been sent by the company to Zhou Yunfa as an agent. Hearing Chen Huilian's words, Anna first wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then said with a straight face: "It's a pity that I didn't find Zhou's script." ”

When Chen Huilian heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she was about to say something more, but was stopped by Zhou Yunfa with a look.

"It's not been long since the merger of Endeavor and WMA, and for the artists who have transferred from Endeavor Company, I'm afraid the situation will not be clear until the company completes a comprehensive evaluation of these artists, but Zhou, you can rest assured, with your strength, you will definitely be valued by the company." As if sensing something, Anna said something again.

"That's great." Zhou Yan laughed, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.

Waving goodbye to Anna, Chen Huilian closed the door, and finally couldn't hold back the words that were suppressed in her heart at the dinner table just now: "Why didn't you let me make it clear just now?" ”

"Tell me clearly, what do you want to say, please Anna, let her help me keep a snack and see if there is a script for me, or do you want to ask her to do me a favor and ask her to find a suitable script for me?" Zhou Yan said.

"Shouldn't you do this, if you don't take the initiative, will the opportunity fall from the sky, Ah Fa, this is Hollywood, not Xiangjiang, it's the United States, not the Great Xia Kingdom." Chen Huilian said.

Zhou Yunfa was silent, leaned back on the sofa, his eyes looked at the ceiling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah Fa, now you have just changed your brokerage company, WMA is one of the five major brokerage companies in the United States, and she is strong, and Anna is one of WMA's ace agents, she must have a lot of resources in her hands, since she is your agent, it is her duty to help you find the script." Chen Huilian said.

"Yes, Anna is indeed very capable, but she has the same number of artists under her hands, which one am I?" Zhou Yanfa laughed at himself.

In China, he is the emperor's superstar, and investors come to him with a notebook to beg him to act, but when he arrives in Hollywood, he can't even receive the script, and he has to ask the agent. In Zhou Yanfa's opinion, this is indeed quite ridiculous.

"It's okay, maybe when Pirates of the Caribbean 3 comes out, things will get better." Seeing his expression, Chen Huilian was also a little uncomfortable.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is the only major production that Zhou Yanfa has received since he came to Hollywood. Zhou Yunfa plays a pirate king in it, and he is a relatively important supporting role.

It's good that Chen Huilian didn't say this, but when she talked about this, Zhou Yanfa felt even more ridiculous: "Sister Lian, are you really laughing at me?" ”

"Ah, what are you talking about, am I not right?" Chen Huilian said.

"As far as the role I played in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", anyone can play it, and the reason why I can play it is only because the plot needs an Asian, and the agency helped me take over the play." Zhou Yan said.

Chen Huilian was also silent. After a long time, she spoke: "Why don't we go back to China, this new company doesn't pay attention to you anyway." ”

"Go back to China, just go back like this?" Zhou Yunfa shook his head unwillingly. When I came, I was full of pride, and if I went back like this, what was it?

"Hey, forget it, I'll go clean up the dishes and chopsticks first." Chen Huilian and Zhou Yanfa have been husband and wife for many years, so they naturally know what he is thinking at the moment. It was precisely because of this understanding that she didn't talk about returning to China anymore, and instead went to clean up the mess on the table.

This is not the first time Chen Huilian has mentioned the topic of returning to China, in the past, Zhou Yanfa was unmoved, but today he began to have ideas. The reason was a phone call from Cheng Long not long ago.

In the middle of the phone, Cheng Long told Zhou Yanfa about the beginning and end of the Academy Awards and invited him to return to China. To be honest, if Cheng Long hadn't called him, he wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened in China all the time in Hollywood. I am silent in Hollywood, and the country is already surging.

Originally, Zhou Yanfa's idea was to use his own strength and cooperate with the help of the brokerage company to make a name for himself in the United States first, and then return to China to attack the honorary directors of the Star Review Association. Don't doubt the correctness of this line, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are both successful in this way. And the only difference between him and these two is that they can do kung fu, while he can't. And the only thing that can make Hollywood look up to Xia Guo actors seems to be martial arts stars. Therefore, no matter how good Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are, it is useless, because Hollywood's acting skills are much better, why choose a Xia Guoren, wouldn't it be better to choose a Mi Guoren?

Don't doubt it, this is the attitude of Hollywood towards foreign actors. Of course, if you've become famous to the point where the whole world knows about it, these problems don't exist. Obviously, Zhou Yanfa is far from reaching this point.

"I'm going to go outside for a walk." After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't make up my mind. Zhou Yunfa decided to go outside. No one knows him abroad, just go.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Yanfa saw three people standing outside the door, two young Asians and a middle-aged white man, and the young man led by them was in a posture of knocking on the door.

"What are you?" Zhou Yan looked at the three people in front of him suspiciously, were they going to knock on the door of their house.

Gu Wenwu didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and just wanted to knock on the door when he saw Zhou Runfa open the door, so that he was stunned when he saw Zhou Runfa. But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and a natural smile immediately appeared on his face: "Brother Fa, hello, my name is Gu Wenwu, I am a director, I took the liberty to disturb this time, please don't be surprised." ”

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Although he didn't know what this group of people were here for, he heard Gu Wenwu introduce himself as a director, and Director Xia Guo personally came to the door, he had seen a lot of this situation, and he roughly guessed what the purpose was.

If it was in China, he would definitely close the door without thinking about it, and at most leave a sentence to find my company for cooperation. But now that he is in the United States, he has a sense of intimacy when he meets people in other places, and Zhou Yanfa's current situation is not good, so he also pulled the door and opened his body sideways: "It turned out to be Director Gu, please come in." ”

"Ah Fa, are there any guests here?" Chen Huilian had just finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, but when she saw three strangers coming in the house, she walked up to Zhou Yunfa and asked.

"It's said that it's a director in Xia Guo, I guess he came to me to act, you go and pour a few glasses of water for people first." Zhou Yan said. No matter what, you can't lose your courtesy.

"Okay." Chen Huilian nodded and poured water.

"You may be seated." Zhou Yanfa made a gesture of please, and the three of them sat down.

"What do you call the three?" Zhou Yan said.

"Brother Fa, my name is Gu Wenwu, this is my assistant Liu Xuan, this is Mars of Fox Searchlight Pictures, and he is my friend." Gu Wenwu hurriedly said. At this time, Chen Huilian brought the water over, and when she heard Gu Wenwu's introduction, she immediately felt that the name Gu Wenwu was very familiar.

"Gu Wenwu, director, oh, I remember, are you the director Gu Wenwu who filmed "The King of Detectives"?" Chen Huilian woke up suddenly.

"The King of Detectives" is the translation of the name of the United States, and its name in China is "The Great Detective". Gu Wenwu said. His words obviously acquiesced in Chen Huilian's words.

As soon as Chen Huilian interrupted like this, Zhou Yanfa immediately remembered. Before he discussed this movie with Chen Huilian at home, he was still a little envious of Cheng Daoming at that time, but he didn't expect the director of this movie to come to the door in a blink of an eye.

"Director Gu Wenwu, do you want to ask Ah Fa to play the third part of "The King of Detectives"?" Chen Huilian obviously thought more. Since Cheng Daoming's performance in "The King of Detectives 2" can be so popular in the United States, there is no reason why Ah Fa can't play the third part.

"This, my sister-in-law misunderstood, I came to ask Fa Ge to star in my new work, not the "King of Detectives" series." Gu Wenwu said.

"Oh, that's right." Chen Huilian's enthusiasm immediately dropped. Gu Wenwu could only smile bitterly when he saw it in his eyes.

"Did Director Gu bring the script?" Zhou Yunfa was not much disappointed, and asked instead.

"Oh, bring it." Gu Wenwu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he didn't say a few words and was about to read the script, so he hurriedly asked Liu Xuan to take out the script.

Zhou Yunfa took the script and saw the four big characters on the cover at a glance - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

……

"Ah Fa, you're finally willing to call me, how about it, have you thought about it?" Cheng Long still had that hearty laugh.

"No, I called to ask you about someone, Gu Wenwu, do you know?" Zhou Yan said.

Cheng Long on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, and he didn't know what Zhou Runfa asked Gu Wenwu for, but he still replied quickly: "I know, he is a director who has only risen in China in recent years, very talented, and has two box office awards. ”

"No, he came to the United States and came to me to ask me to be the leading actor of his new film." Zhou Yan said.

"The male lead?" Cheng Long's voice was obviously strange. "Is there a third part of "The Great Detective"?" Cheng Long asked.

"No, it's a new work." Zhou Yan said.

"Gu Wenwu has a good reputation in the circle, I have been in contact with him once, and I think this kid is quite humble, I think you might as well consider it." Cheng Longdao.

He knows Zhou Yanfa's situation in the United States, it can be said that he is stuck in a quagmire, struggling, he has no way forward, and he can't retreat. It's good to have a chance to jump out of the quagmire of Hollywood now. And with Gu Wenwu's current status in China, there is no need to worry that there will be public opinion that Zhou Runfa is leaving in disgrace.

"I see, I'll think about it." Zhou Yan said.

……

"Did you see Zhou Runfa?" At the dinner table, Cheng Daoming asked.

"See." Gu Wenwu nodded.

"Well, did he say yes?" Cheng Daoming asked again.

"I don't know, he said he needs time to think about it." Speaking of this, Gu Wenwu frowned, of course, another reason for frowning was that the food in his mouth was a little difficult to swallow.

"Consider, wouldn't it be nice to come back decently?" Cheng Daoming smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

……

Night. Zhou Yanfa was lying on the bed, thinking about today's events, and it was a little difficult to sleep. Zhou Yanfa put his hand on the back of his head and pillowed it, but unexpectedly, the action was a little loud and woke up Chen Huilian, who was already asleep.

"Ah Fa, haven't slept yet?" Chen Huilian rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhou Yanfa.

"Did you wake you up, it's okay, you go to sleep first, I want something." Zhou Yan said.

"Are you wondering if you want to agree to Gu Wenwu's invitation to return to China?" Chen Huilian really understood Zhou Yanfa's thoughts.

"yes." Zhou Yanfa let out a long breath and said.

"Ah Fa, I think you are in a dilemma now, I know you are hesitating to return to China, but this is not contradictory to whether you will accept Gu Wenwu's play, your taking his play does not mean that you will return to China to develop, just return to China to film, if you think your script is good, then agree, anyway, you don't have filming now." Chen Huilian said.

Lookers-on see most of the game. Chen Huilian's words woke up the dreamer, yes, whether you take this drama or not has nothing to do with whether you return to China or not, instead of waiting for filming in Hollywood every day, it is better to catch what is in front of you first.

Zhou Yanfa's eyes lit up, and he finally made a decision.
