Chapter 706: Entering the "Thor" crew
On the second day of junior high school, Zhang Chengyuan still had a very dull life, and he still went to visit the door, but this time, in addition to going to the homes of individual sisters, he also went to visit Yuan Bin, Lee Joon-gi, Liu Zai-seok and other friends.
On the third day of junior high school, that is, on February 16, Zhang Chengyuan ushered in the call of the Hollywood "Thor" crew, and took a plane to the United States to meet the crew in the afternoon of the same day. And this time, I am afraid that it will not be a short time to return, for this reason, he will once again miss the two concerts that Girls' Generation is preparing to hold on the 27th and 28th of this month, which makes him and the girls regret it again.
At noon on February 17, he came to the crew of "Thor". Because the previous "Rush Hour 3" and "The King of Kung Fu" have long since passed the times, and "Inception" filmed last year has not yet been released, so he is still an inconspicuous figure for the crew members, and even for Hollywood as a whole, although he was fortunate to get the role of the second male lead in this play, but in fact, few people really take him seriously, but fortunately, out of professionalism, most people respect him on the surface, and there is no such bullshit as disgrace or racial discrimination - even if there isand will not be exposed to the outside.
He didn't care about this - he went to someone else's country, so that people from other countries would immediately recognize you and respect you, this kind of thing he had never fantasized, maybe after he became famous in Hollywood, it was possible, right? At the moment, he just wants to concentrate on doing his job well, and as for other people and things, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them for the time being.
Maybe. This may also be due to the fact that this shoot was different from when filming Inception. At that time, he was going to make movies. I have to go back to South Korea to shoot a TV series, and I am running around at both ends, and I urgently need the support of the director, producer, actors, and even the entire crew, so I will be sincere and use special means to make friends with them, and I almost maintain a very good relationship with the entire crew. And now he doesn't need to do this, so there is no need to make friends with a cadre of actors and crew members.
Speaking of which, deep down he is still quite arrogant, if it is not necessary. I don't want to make any friends on my own initiative, and I'm not very willing to use special means to make friends.
Besides, the entire "Thor" crew, except for the famous Natalie? Outside of Portman, there seemed to be no one who deserved his special attention, and he had a strong desire to get to know him.
But Natalie? After all, Portman is a high-profile and fan-favorite beauty, and his age is not much different from him, so if he ventures to make friends, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding. It's not afraid to cause scandals, but if it's considered a toad and wants to eat swan meat. That's a shame — in the eyes of many proud Americans, he's an Asian. No matter how handsome he looks and how famous he is in Asia, he is afraid that he is really just a toad at this time.
In this way, he doesn't want to make friends with anyone. However, although he doesn't want to associate with other people, other people may not be interested in him, no matter what, he still has some advantages that can attract the attention of others, no, Chris, the actor of the male number one Thor? Hemsworth took the initiative to talk to him.
"Hey, meet me, I'm Chris? Hemsworth, just call me Chris. He said generously.
"William? Zhang, just call me William. Zhang Chengyuan smiled slightly.
Although he didn't want to take the initiative to meet anyone, he didn't want to reject people thousands of miles away. Moreover, this person is going to play a pair of brothers with him in the play, so there is nothing wrong with getting so close, or it will help with emotional communication during filming. Perhaps it was with this purpose in mind that Hemsworth came to meet him.
Hemsworth said: "Oh, William, hello, I've seen you play "RushHour3" and "The ForbiddenKingdom", and it's really great, especially the action scenes, no worse than JackieChan (Cheng Long) and JetLi (Li Lianjie), or even more exciting, at least in my eyes." "Sometimes, the understanding between people often begins with compliments.
Zhang Chengyuan didn't care about Hemsworth's praise, but his friendly attitude made him feel a little good, so he replied: "I had guessed who would play the role of Thor, but after seeing you, I found that there was no more suitable person than you." ”
Zhang Chengyuan didn't know Hemsworth's past, and he didn't know what impressive horn cesium he had played, otherwise he would definitely praise it at this time. Because for many actors, there is nothing more pleasing than praising his acting skills and the horns he has played. However, Zhang Chengyuan's good words at this time still made Hemsworth, a blonde man, very happy.
Hemsworth is a tall muscular man, 191CM tall, although only a little taller than Zhang Chengyuan, but his body is much wider than Zhang Chengyuan, especially a strong muscle, exaggerated and convex, just like a bodybuilder, although Zhang Chengyuan's body shape is very strong among Asians, but compared to him is really far behind. It may be a racial difference. Of course, it's just a difference in size, and if it's really a big match, ten Hemsworth may not be Zhang Chengyuan's opponents.
And Hemsworth's appearance is also quite masculine and handsome, coupled with a full beard, which makes him a little heroic and domineering, which is definitely in line with the image of a hero in the eyes of Westerners, and at the same time has the unique violent savagery of Thor, no wonder the crew chose him to play Thor, although Zhang Chengyuan's praise for him is exaggerated, but I have to say that he is indeed very suitable for the role of Thor. Jang Sung-won is also known for being masculine and handsome in South Korea and even in Asia, but if he is compared to him, he is not masculine enough and too handsome, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a little white face.
Fortunately, in this movie, the role played by Zhang Chengyuan, the titular younger brother of Thor, the evil god Loki, was originally the opposite type of horn cesium to Thor, so Zhang Chengyuan played this role, which is quite suitable from the perspective of appearance. Of course, the premise is that Jang Sung-won has to put on a little makeup. Looks more like a little European talent line. After all, this is a movie for the mainstream of Europe and the United States.
Other than that. Zhang Chengyuan also has no envy of Hemsworth's appearance and size, because from the perspective of Orientals, this is really nothing to envy, if he also looks like Hemsworth, he would not have today's achievements and get the love of so many women. Moreover, although his appearance is certainly not as popular in Europe and the United States as in South Korea, it is definitely not much worse, not to mention that he can also win the recognition of the audience in the world with his excellent skills and outstanding acting skills. Therefore. He doesn't think his future will be worse than Hemsworth's, at most he thinks that his Hollywood acting career may be more tortuous.
When Zhang Chengyuan was thinking nonsense, Hemsworth said to him with a smile: "You have won the prize, in fact, at the beginning I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to get this horn cesium, at that time I was not as strong as I am now, this muscle is the result of my training for many months." His words were very frank, and when he laughed, in the roughness, there was some loyalty and humor, which made people feel even more favorable.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "This is obviously not because of the muscles. Muscles can be trained, but appearance and temperament are not easy to change. The crew can choose you, they have their own reasons, and I believe they must not have looked away. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him could really make friends, so he did not hesitate to praise him.
Then the two chatted more happily, and gradually talked more and more speculatively, in the conversation, Zhang Chengyuan learned that Hemsworth is also a foreign actor, born in Australia, and has played supporting roles in Hollywood movies before, this time he is only the first time to play the leading role, only to know that he has nothing to do with the arrogance that most American local actors may not appear on the outside, but from the bones, and at the same time has a greater sense of identity with him.
And Hemsworth was a little surprised that Zhang Chengyuan was about half a year older than him, he originally thought that Zhang Chengyuan should be several years younger than him, because in his eyes, Zhang Chengyuan looked too young, and his temperament was more majestic and mature, which made people dare not despise him.
In addition, because he had heard that Zhang Chengyuan was a real kung fu master before, Hemsworth was a little curious, so he asked Zhang Chengyuan for verification, and Zhang Chengyuan also showed it "friendly" at his request, which made him admire it greatly, and asked Zhang Chengyuan to teach him a few tricks in his free time during filming, because he found that Zhang Chengyuan's kung fu was far more powerful than the kung fu coach that the crew found for him.
Zhang Chengyuan agreed casually, after all, it was just a few tricks, and it wasn't a gift, so he didn't care. However, his cheerfulness made Hemsworth even happier, and he began to think that Jang Sung-won was his friend. Of course, it's just an ordinary friend, and if you want to be a good friend, it's still early.
In addition to Hemsworth, there are actually some people who are also interested in Zhang Chengyuan, such as the two supporting actresses in this play - Jamie? Alexander and Kate? Dai Linsi, it is rare to see such a handsome and temperamental Asian guy, they are all a little curious, so they took the initiative to come over to talk, of course, they don't necessarily want to have anything to do with Zhang Chengyuan, they just want to know more about him.
However, Jang Sung-won obviously disappointed them, he did not respond to them very enthusiastically, and seemed very cold, so they walked away with interest. Maybe they will complain about Zhang Chengyuan's arrogance and rudeness in their hearts, but Zhang Chengyuan will never care about this. And the reason why this is so may be because of his deep-rooted Eastern thoughts, which makes him look down on the vast majority of Western women, unless he is like Natalie? Portman is a woman who combines Eastern and Western aesthetics. And for people or things that he is not interested in, he always does not want to waste time.
In addition, there is also an Asian actor in this crew, named Tadanobu Asano, who plays one of the warriors under Thor in the play, and may also have an intersection with Jang Sung-won during filming, so he came over to say hello to Jang Sung-won. But it's a pity that he is a Japanese actor, and he doesn't look outstanding, so Zhang Chengyuan didn't pay much attention to him, and just politely dealt with him.
If he were a Chinese or Korean actor, Jang would probably be much more enthusiastic about him. This is because he has never had a good impression of the Japanese, and he is unlikely to befriend them unless he is particularly good and has a really good heart.
So, on the first day that Zhang Chengyuan joined the crew, he didn't gain anything except that he got along quite well with Hemsworth, either others didn't want to know him, or he didn't look down on others, which provoked his agent Jon? Brian thought that he had suddenly changed his temper, obviously he got along well with the crew of "Inception" last time, but this time it was a big disappointment, if this continues, where can he establish any connections in Hollywood? will inevitably affect his acting career. But Jon. Brian also knew about Jang Sung-won's character, and after several attempts to persuade him to no avail, he ignored it, he was just the type of agent in South Korea, and he had to take care of everything.
But Zhang Chengyuan is not worried about this, because as an Oriental, it is impossible to make many real friends in Hollywood, and it is already very good to make three or five, so why waste time on this. Moreover, if he really wants to get any important angle cesium, he can solve it in other ways, and he does not have to rely on the help of his friends. With this kind of confidence, he is naturally indispensable for establishing so-called connections, and all along, hasn't he come over like this? (To be continued......)
