When this man and Zhang Chengyuan exchanged words, Li Zhen and Cheng Youli were confused, and they didn't know why, because the two of them spoke Chinese, but Xiao Jing, who had learned some Chinese from Zhang Chengyuan, vaguely understood something. After seeing Zhang Chengyuan's expression, he stood aside and waited quietly.

The three girls saw the rear door open, Zhang Chengyuan glanced in, obviously stunned for a moment, and then sat on the seat next to the door, face inward, nodded slightly, and shook his head slightly, probably talking to someone, after a while, Zhang Chengyuan got out of the car, politely saluted, and then closed the car door, turned around and walked towards them.

Before approaching, Li Zhen asked, "Cheng Yuan, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "There is an unexpected big man who invited us to dinner. ”

Cheng Youli said: "What person? ”

"Old-timers in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and Hollywood kung fu superstar Cheng Long, Jackie Chan."

Li Zhen said: "Jackie Chan, that's really a big man, I can't imagine that I can meet him when I come to Hong Kong, but why does he want to invite you to dinner?" She didn't think that Cheng Long would invite them to dinner, her main purpose was definitely for Zhang Chengyuan, and inviting the three of them was just incidental.

Cheng Youli said: "Did you agree?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't know why he wants to invite me, but I see that he is very sincere, so I agreed to him." Although he didn't know Cheng Long's true purpose, his Yuan Shen could feel his kindness, so he didn't refuse, and being able to meet a Chinese superstar may help him enter China in the future.

Xiao Jing suddenly shouted, "Brother, that Cheng Long's car drove away." ”

The four of them looked over and saw that the Bentley had already driven away, leaving only the middle-aged man behind.

The middle-aged man walked up to them and said, "Mr. Zhang, my eldest brother asked me to take you to the restaurant where I eat, please come with me." ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Trouble!" ”

After following the middle-aged man around a few streets, he came to an inconspicuous building, followed the stairs to the third floor, and entered a very elegantly decorated private room, where Cheng Long was sitting, talking to a person who looked like a hotel manager next to him, smiling very kindly.

After seeing Zhang Chengyuan and the others, Cheng Long apologized to the manager, and then greeted Zhang Chengyuan and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are here, come, please sit here!" ”

The four of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Zhang Chengyuan said: "Mr. Cheng Long, you are polite, we are just juniors, please feel free!" ”

Cheng Long said: "Since that's the case, I'll call you Cheng Yuan, and you can also call me eldest brother." Oh, by the way, what do you call these guys? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "This is Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, my sister, this is Xiao Jing, my sister." We are from South Korea. ”

Seeing Zhang Chengyuan introduce himself to Cheng Long, the three girls hurriedly bowed again and greeted in Chinese: "Hello! Li Zhen and Cheng Youli's pronunciation is not very standard, with an exotic accent, but Xiao Jing speaks very smoothly, and her voice is almost no different from that of the Chinese, of course, she will also speak a few simple daily words for the time being, but her Chinese listening is good, thanks to Zhang Chengyuan's usual teaching.

After Cheng Long heard Zhang Chengyuan's words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him who spoke and behaved like a Chinese was actually a Korean, and he was very surprised, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately replied: "Welcome, welcome, welcome Korean friends to come to our Hong Kong to play." He said this in Korean, and he has been to Korea many times and can speak a lot of Korean.

Zhang Chengyuan and the others replied: "Xie Lu, thank you! He clearly felt that Cheng Long's original enthusiasm was immediately diminished after learning that he was Korean, but he could understand this very well, and if he met a foreigner, he would definitely do the same. It's not so easy for people from different countries to become friends.

After settling down, Cheng Long asked, "Mr. Zhang, oh, Cheng Yuan, are you really Korean?" I've never met a Korean who speaks Chinese better than most Chinese! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "My master is Chinese, and I also have Chinese ancestry, so I have been very interested in Han culture since I was a child, so I learned some Chinese culture. ”

His words are true and false, his master is Chinese, this is absolutely true, it is just a past life.

He has Chinese blood, this is not nonsense, the ancestors of the Korean Zhang family were originally the attendants of the princess who married to Goryeo in the Yuan Dynasty of China, 100% Han blood, although after hundreds of years of dilution, in modern times, the Chinese blood is extremely thin, but it cannot be said that there is no, in addition, Zhang Chengyuan just read the diary left by his grandfather a few days ago, and learned that his great-grandfather had lived in Northeast China and married a local woman, that is to say, his great-grandmother was Chinese, so he now has at least one-eighth of Chinese blood.

If he is interested in Han culture, it is even more true, which of the exercises he practiced, the Taoist culture he learned, the tea ceremony techniques he newly mastered, the modern Chinese language, etc., which is not Han culture? It's just that except for the modern Chinese language, which is learned after reincarnation, most of the others are learned in previous lives.

When Cheng Long heard this, his eyes lit up obviously, and he said, "No wonder you are proficient in Chinese, it turns out that there are these reasons!" Oh, please sit down, don't stand any more. "The attitude is much more kind and welcoming.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Let's sit down first, Brother Cheng Long, otherwise how dare we sit down?" ”

Cheng Long smiled and sat down first, and then Zhang Chengyuan and others also sat down, Zhang Chengyuan sat next to Cheng Long, next to him was Xiao Jing, and next to him were Cheng Youli and Li Zhen.

Then began to order, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Guests are as you like, please ask Brother Cheng Long to order some authentic Hong Kong dishes for us!" ”

Cheng Long didn't shirk, called the waiter who had been waiting at the door for a long time, picked up the menu and ordered more than a dozen dishes, asked him to prepare quickly, and then talked with Zhang Chengyuan, and for Li Zhen, Cheng Youli, etc., because of the different relationships between men and women, he just politely greeted a few words, and then stopped paying attention. In this way, Li Zhen and Cheng Youli felt relieved, they were not good at communicating, and they didn't want to get closer to Cheng Long, so they sat quietly and listened, whether they were interested in listening or not, whether they understood or not, they listened very carefully, so as not to make Cheng Long feel that they were rude, and then look down on Zhang Chengyuan.

Cheng Long asked again: "Your martial arts are good, who did you learn from?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan muttered: "It was taught by my Chinese master. No, how does Brother Long know that I will do martial arts? ”

Cheng Long said with a smile: "I happened to drive by there before, and I was fortunate to see the scene where you saved people, you are really a good young man, chivalrous, and you will go out of your way to save people, and you are still saving people from foreign countries who have nothing to do with you." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said modestly: "I don't dare to be, I just abide by the teachings of the ancestors." If Brother Cheng Long saw this situation, he would definitely rush to save people. ”

In fact, his master in his previous life was a monk who almost didn't care about the world, and he was extremely indifferent to the world, and only taught him all kinds of cultivation methods such as meditation and qi training, how could he have taught him the principles of chivalry and righteousness, helping the world and saving people, so this sentence is just Zhang Chengyuan's excuse.

Cheng Long said: "Ancestor? Ah, it's a pity that your master has passed away! Don't talk about that, Sung Won, what do you do in Korea? Seeing that Zhang Chengyuan's expression was a little strange, he thought that he remembered the dead master and felt sad, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I am an actor! ”

Cheng Long was slightly surprised: "Such a coincidence! I was about to ask if you're interested in making movies. ”

"Making a movie?" Zhang Chengyuan felt a little inexplicable.

Cheng Long explained: "I have a drama to start filming this year, which is the third part of "Rush Hour", which is invested and filmed by Hollywood, you should have heard of it, there is a role in it, originally I wanted to invite Tony Jia of Thailand to play, that is, the one who played "Boxer", but he refused, the producer and director hoped that I could recommend one, originally I didn't want to care about this matter, but after seeing your appearance and skills, I think you are very suitable, so I want to get to know you, and by the way, ask if you are willing to take this drama." Of course, I'm not sure the crew will choose you, but it's a great opportunity and it's worth a try. Regardless of the outcome, it will be a rare experience for you. ”

Zhang Chengyuan feels like pie in the sky, all along, his luck in his career is very average, and most of his current achievements are based on his ability and hard work that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, I don't want to be a righteous man on the street by chance today, and he happened to be seen by the international superstar Cheng Long, and also provided an opportunity to break into Hollywood, how could such a good thing befell him? Is this what the world often says about good people with good rewards? Jang Sung-won was a little incredulous.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he said: "Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity, I am willing to give it a try, but I don't know if the final result will disappoint you." ”

The role that the crew can invite action superstar Tony Jia to play will never be a role like Passerby A, otherwise, Cheng Long would not have to invite him to dinner and ask him about it, so Zhang Chengyuan agreed without asking carefully.

However, what he didn't know was that even if he didn't have this character in "Rush Hour 3", Cheng Long would still want to know him.

In Cheng Long's opinion at the time, Zhang Chengyuan was handsome, had an excellent temperament, and his skills were amazing, that kind of calm and elegant way to save people, he asked himself that he would never be able to do it, such a talent is definitely the best candidate to save Hong Kong kung fu movies, how could he miss it?

Of course, if Cheng Long had known that Zhang Chengyuan was Korean at that time, he would definitely not deign to invite him, and he would not be so bored as to invite a strange Korean to dinner. In addition, when he learned Zhang Chengyuan's nationality, his attitude immediately cooled down, if he hadn't immediately learned that Zhang Chengyuan was of Chinese descent and had a great favor for China in his speech and demeanor, he probably wouldn't have asked Zhang Chengyuan for a role invitation.

Not long after, several waiters brought exquisite dishes to the table, Cheng Long paused to ask, and beckoned Zhang Chengyuan and others to eat, these dishes are full of color, fragrance and taste, compared to the delicious snacks that Zhang Chengyuan and the four of them had eaten on the street, Li Zhen and others were addicted to eating.

Cheng Long ate a few bites casually, then stopped his chopsticks and continued to ask Zhang Chengyuan about various details, and Zhang Chengyuan answered them one by one. When he learned that Zhang Chengyuan had starred in several TV series and had run countless tricks, he was even more satisfied with Zhang Chengyuan, and felt that Zhang Chengyuan was quite likely to get the role in "Rush Hour 3", and promised that even if Zhang Chengyuan could not succeed this time, he would definitely come to Zhang Chengyuan again if there was a suitable role in the future.

Zhang Chengyuan didn't know if this was Cheng Long's polite words, but he still thanked him sincerely, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was generous. For him, although the olive branch extended by Cheng Long made him very grateful, it was not enough to make him grovel, except for a limited number of people such as Li Xiaoli, there was no one in this world who could make him flatter in a low voice.

After talking with Cheng Long for more than an hour and leaving his contact number, Zhang Chengyuan and others said goodbye to Cheng Long. Cheng Long is also a busy man, and he didn't keep it when he saw this, but just said: "Remember tonight's agreement!" Then he sent them out of the door.
