760 [Hollywood's Earliest Chinese Actress]

"Ah Xian, would you like a glass of orange juice?"

Tulip Manor, Guan Zhilin asked Wang Guxian with a smile on her face.

"Thank you!" Wang Guxian agreed with a smile, but in his heart he scolded Guan Zhilin's villain.

Yesterday, Wang Zijun took Wang Guxian, Wu Ma and others to Los Angeles. In addition to attending the US premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zijun also brought some crew members of "Three Heroines of the East 2" to prepare for the filming of "Three Heroines of the East 2" in the United States.

For convenience, the members of "Three Heroines of the East 2" all stayed in a hotel in Los Angeles, while Wang Zuxian and Wu Ma lived together in Tulip Manor so that they could go together when they attended the premiere.

What made Wang Guxian unhappy was that as soon as they moved in, Guan Zhilin showed her identity as her hostess all the time and took good care of them.

For some reason, Wang Guxian felt uncomfortable when he saw Guan Zhilin's smug appearance.

When Guan Zhilin brought the orange juice, she walked over in a horse coat and asked Wang Guxian, "Zuxian, what do you think I will wear tomorrow?" ”

Wang Guxian said with a smile: "Didn't you make a suit specially ordered?" ”

Afternoon code said: "Everyone wears suits, isn't there no feature at all? ”

"So be it." Wang Group Xiandao.

Wu Ma is also a 50-year-old old actor, he was born in Shaw Brothers, and he dreams of coming to Hollywood. This time he was more excited than anyone else to attend the premiere in Hollywood, brought several sets of clothes, and thought about wearing them to the premiere all day long.

"Where's Jun Ye?" Wu Ma tidied up his horse coat and sat down and asked.

Guan Zhilin replied helpfully, "Ms. Huang Yumei has just arrived, they should be talking about business in the garden." ”

Who is Topaz Mei?

A legendary Chinese actress in Hollywood.

This old lady is almost 60 years old, she danced in nightclubs in the United States at the age of five, acted in the circus in the 50s, and opened a manager company in the 70s to serve Asian actors in the United States, and many famous Asian actors in Hollywood have been helped by her.

The reason why Wang Zijun looked for Huang Yumei is very simple, just because she is Zunlong's agent, and this time there is an important role in "Three Heroines of the East 2", which requires Zunlong to play the Chinese-American detective.

"Mr. Wang, it's great here." Huang Yumei drank black tea and commented on the garden she was in.

"Thank you for the compliment," Wang Zijun smiled and asked, "I wonder when Mr. Zunlong's play will be completed?" ”

Huang Yumei said: "I don't know very well. "The Last Emperor" started filming in August last year, and it may be filmed in June or July this year. ”

Wang Zijun said: "That's a little late, my drama will start filming in May at most." ”

Zunlong is the actor who played the lead role in "The Last Emperor", and his experience was so wonderful that it could be made into a movie.

Zunlong is an orphan raised by a disabled woman, who has never met his biological parents, and began to learn Peking Opera at the age of 7, and is still the younger brother of Xiao Fangfang and Chen Baozhu.

Zunlong came to Hollywood more than ten years ago, just because he was too handsome and upright, and the Chinese characters in Hollywood movies were all bad guys, so there were not many scenes to take.

After struggling in Hollywood for several years, Zunlong went to the theater to perform a stage play by chance, and was favored by the stage play director to play the leading role in the stage play ", and won the highest honor on Off-Broadway in the United States - the Drama Obi Award for Best Actor.

Zunlong was successful in stage plays, and slowly became a little famous, and was nominated for supporting actor at the Golden Globe Awards last year, and then was invited to play Pu Yi in "The Last Emperor".

After the release of "The Last Emperor" in the second half of the year, Zunlong will become famous. There are not many Chinese who mix well outside, so Wang Zijun naturally wants to use all of them for a good life, otherwise this person will slowly sink again - there is no soil for Asian actors to succeed in Hollywood.

Huang Yumei has been in the United States for decades, so she naturally knows this clearly. There are dozens of Asian actors under her, but they can only play bad guys, and occasionally there is an opportunity to play a positive supporting role, and everyone can grab the head. And starring in Wang Zijun's movie, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Zunlong wants to continue to be popular in the United States, it must have the support of Chinese people like Wang Zijun.

"Mr. Wang, do you think this is good. I tried my best to coordinate with the crew of "The Last Emperor" in China, and rushed back as soon as it was finished. Topaz said.

Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Yes, I can just tune his play later." ”

"That's great." Topaz said. Her manager's Asian actor in the company can catch up with Wang Zijun, which is a good thing for her and the company. As for the "Last Emperor" starring Zunlong, to be honest, not many people are optimistic, and no one guessed that this film will win nine Oscars next year.

Wang Zijun knew, so he found Huang Yumei and invited Zunlong to star in "The Three Heroines of the East 2".

In fact, it is normal for "The Last Emperor" to win awards, and it took the director two years to investigate in China and become familiar with Chinese culture and customs for this play. Nearly 20,000 extras were used during the filming, and the lamas in the palace were all real lamas, because they couldn't touch women, so the director also arranged more than a dozen Hollywood male costume assistants for these lamas.

With such a lot of effort and effort, plus the script and director are good, it is normal to win awards.

When Wang Zijun was in the mainland last year, "The Last Emperor" was already filmed in the palace. It's just that the crew is very strict, and even their own main actors can't be put in without a pass, and Wang Zijun didn't have a chance to go in to visit.

After talking about Zunlong, Wang Zijun finally got into today's topic: "How is Ms. Huang's actor agency doing now?" ”

Huang Yumei smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wang should know very well, just barely eating a mouthful." I made a lot of money this time filming "The Last Emperor", and 36 Chinese actors in the company were taken to China for filming. (The heroes and heroines of this film are all actors from Huang Yumei's company.) Huang Yumei didn't tell a lie, like Bruce Lee, he basically made a kung fu movie every two years over the years, but the Chinese actors in his films are all his own team, and the other actors are white, so there is no need to use Huang Yumei's people at all. And there are too few scenes made by Western directors with Asians.

Wang Zijun asked, "Are you interested in cooperating?" ”

"Cooperation?" Huang Yumei smiled beautifully, "I'm a small company, how can I cooperate with you, Mr. Wang?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "In the future, as long as there are Asian actors in the films produced by Dragon and Tiger Film Company, all the actors under your command will be used. And Chinese film companies such as Wang's Pictures and Golden Harvest Pictures, if they shoot in the United States, they will also cooperate with you regularly. At the same time, if there are Hong Kong and Taiwan actors who come to Hollywood, I will also recommend them to join your company. There are also those American Chinese films that are marketed for Chinese in Chinatown, and I will help contact the directors I know, and they will cooperate with you in the future. ”

Although Huang Yumei has been mixed in the United States for decades, as a Chinese, her connections are very limited. With Wang Zijun's help, her actor agency will greatly enhance its viability.

"What does Mr. Wang want me to do for you?" Huang Yumei asked, she didn't believe that there was a good thing that only got but didn't pay.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "I have a girlfriend who wants to mix in the American entertainment industry, running around for three days, making friends everywhere, but in fact, there is no organization at all." I want you to help Ms. Huang take her down for me, let her be the company's deputy, and learn something from you. In addition, I put $500,000 into it, and you give her 30% of the company's shares. ”

Huang Yumei asked, "Who is that girlfriend of yours?" ”

"Guan Zhilin." Wang Zijun said.

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Guan." Huang Yumei naturally heard Wang Zijun's romantic reputation and immediately agreed to cooperate. Not to mention Wang Zijun's other conveniences for her, her actor agency is not worth $1 million, and Wang Zijun only buys 30% of the shares with $500,000, which is generous enough.

Wang Zijun picked up the mobile phone on the stone table, and after dialing the phone in the living room, he found that it happened to be Guan Zhilin who answered it, so he said directly: "Come to the garden." ”

Within two minutes, Guan Zhilin hurried over, and Wang Zijun introduced: "This is Ms. Huang Yumei." ”

Guan Zhilin has been in Hollywood for more than a year, so she naturally knows this senior who specializes in finding filming for Asian actors. However, Guan Zhilin felt that Huang Yumei was a petty fight, so she didn't think much of it, so she didn't bother to contact her. Now that Wang Zijun introduced it in person, Guan Zhilin immediately put on a look of long-term admiration, shook hands and said: "I have heard Ms. Huang's name like thunder, I have heard many people mention it, but I have never had the opportunity to meet......

Wang Zijun said: "Don't you want to develop in Hollywood? In the future, don't be a sturdy man with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, otherwise in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty. Let's work in Ms. Huang's company in the future. ”

Guan Zhilin was a little stunned, she didn't understand what Wang Zijun was talking about, Wang Zijun hadn't mentioned this to her beforehand.

Huang Yumei explained on the side, Guan Zhilin was a little hesitant when she heard it, she felt that Huang Yumei's company was too small, and it was too small to give her only 30% of the shares. It's just that Wang Zijun arranged it for her, and Guan Zhilin was afraid that refusing would make Wang Zijun unhappy, so she had to pretend to be surprised and agree.

After chatting for a while, Wang Zijun sent someone to drive Huang Yumei away, and turned to Guan Zhilin and sneered: "What? Think the temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha? ”

"Where?" Guan Zhilin hugged Wang Zijun and said coquettishly.

Wang Zijun said: "I don't have much ability, and I still pick and choose." This Ms. Huang is about to become a good mixer in Hollywood, Asian actors are already having a hard time in Hollywood, but they can support an Asian actor agency on their own. If you really want to develop in the United States, follow her and study hard, otherwise I won't bother to care about you. ”

Guan Zhilin stuck out her tongue and said, "Even if people are wrong, don't be so fierce to me." ”

Wang Zijun teased Guan Meiren's face and said, "Will I hurt you?" Don't you want to be a few years later, those who want to come to Hollywood to mix with big stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan will all depend on your face? ”

Guan Zhilin immediately understood, thinking that all the actors who came from Hong Kong and Taiwan asked her, she suddenly felt hot all over, threw herself into Wang Zijun's arms and said, "Husband, you are so good." ”
