Chapter 608: Audition for a New Hollywood Film; The same kind of people
After Zhang Chengyuan returned to the apartment, he immediately fell asleep with Xiao Jing in his arms. And the next day, after he sent Xiao Jing to school again, he continued his trip to visit his sisters, and successively visited Lee Hyo-ri, Ok Joo-hyun, Han Chae-young, Lee Da-hae and others who were working.
And in the evening, he went to Yin Enhui's villa and got together with Yin Enhui and Jun Huibin for a while, but in the early hours of the morning, he quietly left to go back to his apartment to accompany Xiao Jing. Although this is quite inconvenient, it is worth a little effort for the sake of the little crystal. And his sisters didn't mind him leaving in the middle of the night, lest he should come back to them after he got up in the morning.
In this way, the two-day vacation passed, and he returned to the crew of "IRIS" on the morning of April 11 to continue filming, and at the same time took time to accompany Kim Tae-hee every night, play against her and instruct her on acting. However, since the filming location is now in China, and most of them are in Seoul, he is not isolated from the world, so he does not only accompany Kim Tae-hee every night.
In fact, after he finished playing against Kim Tae-hee every day and took advantage of her, he almost always went home to rest. Because this is Xiao Crystal's request, he can't bear to refuse, and the fire he provoked on Kim Tae-hee has to be relieved by his sisters.
Time passed, on the evening of April 23, after Zhang Chengyuan and Lin Jisoo finished their affairs, Lin Jixiu told him a news from Hollywood, USA. Brian called and said that he had been connected with a very suitable and brilliant corner cesium for him to fly to the United States tomorrow to audition.
This may be the time he has since joined the WMA William. Morris Brokerage Company since. The most decent message received. There had been almost no news before.
But. Zhang Chengyuan didn't care much about this matter, let alone blame Lin Jixiu for why he didn't sue him earlier, he didn't even have the idea of going to audition, after all, he is filming "IRIS" now, and it will be filmed until the end of the year, so by that time, the movie is estimated to have started filming. Although it is not impossible to make time for filming during this period. But he didn't want to toss himself back and forth, because he felt that with his position at this moment, there was no need to do this.
So, he said lightly: "You can help me push it, just say that I really can't leave." ”
Lin Jixiu glanced at him and stopped talking.
Zhang Chengyuan saw it, and said: "If you have anything to say, what can't you say between us today?" ”
Lin Zhixiu nodded slightly and said, "Boss." I think the reason why you can reach almost the same status as superstars such as Zhang Dongjian and Lee Byung-hun in the film and television industry at a young age is that you have indeed made many popular film and television works. Being able to play important roles in two Hollywood blockbusters is also a very important reason. So I think you should pay attention to Hollywood invitations, and whether you can follow up on this invitation or not, you should go there, so as not to regret missing out on a good work in the future.
Moreover, you haven't made a Hollywood movie for nearly two years, and if you continue like this, the aura of 'Hollywood actor' on your body will fade, which will inevitably affect your status in the Korean film and television industry, and you may not be able to find a script that satisfies you from a large number of invitations in the future. ”
Jang Sung-won thought for a while and said, "Although I'm not worried that I won't be able to maintain my status in South Korea after losing the halo of a Hollywood actor, I will definitely have to work harder, so why should I be so easy?" Okay, I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow to go to the United States. ”
Lin Jixiu smiled, and seemed to be very relieved that Jang Sung-won could listen to her advice.
At noon on April 24, Zhang Chengyuan took a flight to Los Angeles and arrived in Los Angeles that night. The hotel that Brian booked for him. After a night's rest, at around 9 a.m., he attended a separate audition that his agent had already arranged and was attended only by him, the director, the producer and others.
Speaking of which, he is now a little famous in the United States, and the strength of the agency is good, so this interview was not taken lightly, and the atmosphere of the interview process was quite good.
In this regard, Zhang Chengyuan was very happy, and it was no longer the indifferent attitude of the night before. Because he just read the script last night and was fascinated by it, and the director of this movie is still the famous Christopher? Nolan, so he has already made up his mind that he has to participate in this movie, and even thinks that if the audition process is not smooth, he will try his best to impress the director and others. Fortunately, the interview process this morning was quite smooth, so he didn't have to.
It's just that he is a little unhappy that the film started in mid-July, so its shooting time must overlap with the filming date of "IRIS". But fortunately, he is not the male lead actor of this movie, and there should not be too many scenes, so he should be able to do both. Just want to get director Christopher? Nolan promised him to shoot two films at the same time, which may not be an easy task.
And at this time, it was time to use his agent, and he immediately talked to his agent Jon. Brian explained his difficulties and asked him to do some work with the director and others, asking them to promise him that he could take time to shoot his TV series in South Korea while filming this film, and also asked them to try to make his film scenes as dense as possible so that he could have more time to return to China to shoot the TV series.
Faced with this kind of thing, Jon Zhang's agent. Brian was reluctant in his heart, after all, filming two films at the same time, whether in South Korea, the United States or other countries, is a very taboo thing, if Christopher? When Nolan and the others heard Zhang Chengyuan's request, they were afraid that they would want to replace Zhang Chengyuan on the spot, after all, Zhang Chengyuan is not an indispensable actor in this movie.
However, the agent's vocation is to serve the employer, so although he is not very reluctant, he does not feel that there is a possibility of success. But the next day, I still made an appointment with the directors. Euphemistically conveyed Jang Sung-won's request. To his surprise and bewilderment. After the director and others casually discussed a few words, they actually agreed lightly.
He immediately told the good news to Zhang Chengyuan, who had already taken a plane back to China on the day of the interview. However, Zhang Chengyuan was not surprised, because within half an hour after the interview, when he realized his difficulty, he had already secretly resorted to the special means of the original god. Nolan and the others subconsciously gave instructions in his favor. And he asked the agent to do the work, just to elicit this instruction and play a cover.
He did this, it can be said that he was a little forced to do so, because if he didn't do this, Christopher, who had no friendship with him? How could Nolan and others agree to his request, then he could only give up this movie that made him so excited when he absolutely couldn't give up "IRIS". And this was really not what he wanted, so he had to resort to special means.
As for why he absolutely can't give up "IRIS", it's because the Korean show business is where his foundation lies, and before he has the ability to jump out of the Korean show business. If he leaves the "IRIS" crew in the middle of a Hollywood movie, it doesn't matter how much liquidated damages he pays. will also be criticized by the Korean people, saying that it is light for him to forget his righteousness and treachery, and it is even possible to angrily accuse him of betraying the country, so he is afraid that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Korean entertainment industry. In addition, the drama "IRIS" is also related to Kim Tae-hee's acting future, if he leaves the "IRIS" crew, he will inevitably hurt her, so he can't leave the "IRIS" crew.
Of course, if Zhang Chengyuan didn't want to have both fish and bear's paws, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but now that he is angry, and he has always been unwilling to give up what he sees, so he will eventually do it. Fortunately, his ambition is not very big, and there are not many eyes that can be seen by him, otherwise this already chaotic world will definitely be even more chaotic.
…………
In the early morning of April 26, Zhang Chengyuan returned home, and Xiao Jing did not sleep on his bed and waited for him that night, because she didn't know that he would come back, so he went to Lin Zhixiu's room next door. first shook her awake, asked her a few times, and then hugged her and talked about his trip to the United States.
Lin Zhixiu pressed his face to his chest and asked, "Boss, are you going to audition in the United States this time?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said lightly: "It's quite smooth." ”
Lin Zhixiu was a little puzzled and said: "Since you are smooth, then why are you not very happy." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's been a long time since this happened, and I'm already happy, so there's nothing to be happy about now, and besides, I have done something that is not very good." ”
Lin Zhixiu glanced up at him and said, "Boss, are you forced to use any special means?" ”
"Well, in order to be able to shoot this film and "IRIS" at the same time, I used special means to secretly hypnotize the director and producer so that they would agree to my request." Zhang Chengyuan sighed lightly and said.
Lin Zhixiu thought about it for a moment, and said: "Is it because the shooting time of this movie conflicts with "IRIS"? ”
"Hmm." Zhang Chengyuan responded lightly. After a pause, he said, "Jisoo, do you think I'm born a dark person?" Every time you encounter trouble, you must always use shady means to solve it. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Maybe it's a little disgraceful, but I don't think the boss did anything wrong, at least you didn't hurt them this time." And when you used special means in the past, you didn't hurt the really innocent people. After thinking about it, he said: "Boss, in fact, I think you are a very righteous and principled person, although you have monstrous skills, but you have never done anything wrong." And if another person has such a special ability as you, I am afraid that he will already do whatever he wants, and even the whole of Korea will be under his control. ”
With Jang Sung-won's current ability, as long as he is careful, he may not be unable to control the whole of South Korea, but he has no interest in this kind of thing.
Zhang Chengyuan sighed lightly: "I can't say that there is no misconduct, at least when I left you by my side, I used special means to coerce and control you!" ”
"I deserved it, and I don't blame you at all now, and I'm glad you kept me with you." Lin Zhixiu immediately comforted again.
Zhang Chengyuan lowered his head and kissed the hair on the top of her head, and said with some emotion: "Jisoo, maybe only when facing you, I can reveal the dark side of my heart without any scruples, which makes me feel a lot better, in addition, thank you for supporting me unconditionally all the time, otherwise, the darkness in my heart may be deeper." ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled: "This is what I should do and I am willing to do." Also, boss, don't you think I'm the same kind of person as you? I'm not really upright in my heart. ”
Zhang Chengyuan also laughed: "No wonder we are so deed, it turns out that we are the same kind of people, and it is really my luck to meet you." He bowed his head and kissed Lin Jixiu.
"I'm also lucky. Oh, by the way, boss, you haven't told me what this movie is called? ”
"Oh, it's called Inception. A story about a dreamer, a story that is shocking and bizarre, and when it is released in the future, you will definitely like it. ”
"So good? Then I'll take the time to look at it. (To be continued......)
