Early the next morning, Jun Hye-bin and Yoon Eun-hye left early after saying goodbye to Jang Sung-won, while Jang Sung-won drove to the company to talk to Park Byung-yeol about future arrangements. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, because I don't know how long Lu Dao will go to the United States this time, when he will be able to come back, and naturally he will not be able to contact and arrange work.

Originally, Park Byung-yeol wanted to accompany Zhang Chengyuan to the United States for a few days this time to discuss with Hollywood producers Zhang Chengyuan's remuneration for filming, but he was persuaded by Zhang Chengyuan, because Zhang Chengyuan is completely new in Hollywood, and he is not qualified to pay for the film at all, and Cheng Long once promised to ask the producer for at least $500,000 for him, which is already very remarkable for a newcomer, especially an Asian newcomer. In this way, his agent Park Byungyeol has no need to go out.

In addition, 500,000 US dollars, although it is almost negligible compared with Cheng Long's salary of 15 million to 20 million US dollars, but when converted to Korean won, it is almost 500 million, which is already the salary of South Korea's top film actors.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Park Byungyeol drove Jang Sung-won to the airport, and at about half past ten, Jang Sung-won boarded a plane, arrived in Los Angeles that night, found a hotel to stay for one night, and contacted Cheng Long early the next morning to meet him.

The place where Cheng Long met was Cheng Long's home in the United States, a mansion in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, a Hollywood star colony, where his wife often lived.

The two chatted for a while.

Cheng Long said: "Did you just arrive this morning?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I arrived last night." ”

Cheng Long said: "Then why didn't you come to me last night?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's too presumptuous to disturb late at night!" ”

Cheng Long said: "Every time I talk to you, there is always a feeling like talking to an ancient Chinese, your words and deeds are elegant and generous, sincere and courteous, confident and modest, this kind of demeanor is rare in today's Chinese, but I don't want to see it in you, a Korean."

In fact, Zhang Chengyuan has Cheng Long said so well, he just followed the customs, when he was in Korea, he followed the etiquette and behavior habits of Koreans, but in the face of Cheng Long, a Chinese, he naturally revealed some of his previous temperament, and after all, he was an ancient, and when speaking Chinese, he occasionally used some elegant words, which seemed ancient, but made Cheng Long feel like an ancient. In fact, today's Zhang Chengyuan is neither Chinese nor foreign, nor ancient nor modern.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother Cheng Long, you have an overreputation, I can't afford it!" ”

Cheng Long said: "My name is Cheng Long, your name is Cheng Yuan, the name is almost the same, I don't know what your name means?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan didn't know what Zhang Donghu wanted to name him "Chengyuan", his brain turned, and he said: "Yuan, which refers to 'beginning, beginning, and first', my father wants me to fight for the first place in my studies." In addition, "yuan" also has the meaning of "original, original", and my father also hopes that I can always maintain the original face of people's hearts, and the so-called "human nature is good" naturally wants me to be noble and not go astray. ”

Cheng Long said: "I can't imagine that your father is so proficient in Chinese and admirable. ”

Zhang Chengyuan knew that Cheng Long was too awarded, in fact, his current father Zhang Donghu only spoke some basic Chinese, and he couldn't even recognize hundreds of Chinese characters, how could he be said to be 'proficient', but the son didn't say anything about his father, he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to be modest for his father.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Long personally drove Zhang Chengyuan to the crew to meet the staff, today is the day when the main members of the crew meet. Zhang Chengyuan originally thought that as soon as he joined the crew today, he might start filming the movie, but he didn't want Cheng Long to tell him just now that because the selection of the scene has not been completely determined, the filming of this movie will be postponed for a while, but the crew meeting has not been canceled, but some actors are missing.

When I came to the meeting place agreed by the crew, a certain hall of a hotel, I saw that hundreds of people had come to the scene, men and women, young and old, with different skin colors, or sitting and chatting, or standing and dancing, each doing their own thing, very lively, like a party. Follow Cheng Long in, through the flow of people, many people greeted Cheng Long enthusiastically, Cheng Long also responded enthusiastically, some of them looked at Zhang Chengyuan curiously, especially some women had a strange light in their eyes, and seemed to be very shocked by Zhang Chengyuan's appearance and temperament, but they didn't take the liberty to come forward to talk.

Cheng Long came to the middle table at the back of the hall, greeted the four people sitting in English, and then introduced Zhang Chengyuan to them. Among the four people sitting here, three of them have been seen by Zhang Chengyuan, the director, producer, and photographer he saw at the last audition, and the remaining one is a dark-skinned strong man who is about 1.85 meters tall.

This is the first time Zhang Chengyuan has dealt with a black man, and he can't help but take a second look, only to see that this black man has thick and short hair, his face is like black charcoal, and his whole face is black except for the whites of his eyes and lips. Of course, the current Zhang Chengyuan will naturally not do this, at most he will only sigh: "All things are born different!" ”

In addition, the black man's lips and the beard under his chin are connected into a circle shape, which looks a little personality and a little funny, and when he laughs, it is even funnier, and Zhang Chengyuan guesses that this person should be the actor Chris Tucker who played Cheng Long's partner black cop in the "Rush Hour" series of movies

Without waiting for Zhang Chengyuan's greeting, this Chris Tucker had already called: "Hey, Asian, hello, I'm so happy to see you!" You must be a compatriot of Jackie, right? He kept telling us how handsome you were, how amazing you were at fighting, and now I finally see you. However, in my opinion, you don't seem to be very handsome, and my fellow chicks definitely don't look down on you! ”

Zhang Chengyuan said in his heart: "I can't look at the best, if I am entangled by a dark-skinned woman, I can't stand it." It was not that he discriminated against blacks, but in his opinion, except for the Chinese and the East Asians, who looked almost indistinguishable from the Chinese, the women everywhere were not in line with his aesthetics, no matter how beautiful they were.

Chris Tucker saw Zhang Chengyuan stunned, thinking that he didn't understand, so he said it again, and added at the end: "Brother, I'm joking, in fact, you do look pretty good, just a little worse than me, compared to Jackie, that's a hundred times more handsome, no, a thousand times." "He has a good relationship with Cheng Long, and there is no pressure to joke about Cheng Long.

And Cheng Long knew that this black guy had a rough and straightforward personality, and his way of speaking was always not very good, but in fact, there was no malice, so he didn't bother to bother with him, and even if he did, I was afraid that this black guy didn't think what he said was inappropriate.

Zhang Chengyuan said in English: "Xie Lu Xie praise, you are also very handsome!" ”

Chris Tucker was a little surprised: "You speak English very fluently, and you speak very crisply, unlike other Asians who are always going around and around, so that I can't understand it, I like it." Come, I'll toast you! As he spoke, he poured a glass of beer for himself and Zhang Chengyuan, took a cup and handed it to Zhang Chengyuan, and then immediately took one bite of his own cup first.

Cheng Long glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled and nodded slightly.

Zhang Chengyuan also smiled and nodded, then took the wine glass and drank the wine dry, then turned the wine glass upside down and put it on the table, and there was not a drop of wine flowing down the wine glass. After drinking, Zhang Chengyuan's face did not change, and his expression was still faint and full of confidence. Of course, he has a reason to be confident, with his current true qi cultivation, "a thousand cups without getting drunk" is easy for him, even if the whole audience takes turns to toast him, he can pour these people down.

Everyone clapped their hands, and Chris Tucker shouted, "Refreshing enough, brother!" Among them, the word "brother" is spoken in Chinese, and he doesn't need to guess to know that he learned this word from Cheng Long, but it was not clear enough to standardize, so that Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while before he understood.

In Zhang Chengyuan's opinion, this black actor is also refreshing enough and has a good personality, so he has a good impression of him.

Next, Cheng Long chatted with the director and others, Zhang Chengyuan listened to it, and knew that they were talking about the selection of movie scenes, so he stopped listening, anyway, he couldn't interfere with this kind of thing. Chris Tucker, who was also not interested in this, pulled Zhang Chengyuan to sit on the seat next to him, and said with great interest: "I heard the director and producer say that during the last audition, you performed the kung fu of climbing the wall and jumping off the building last time, can you show me other kung fu today, such as opening the cap of the bottle with your hand, or cutting the wine bottle, etc., just like in Chinese movies." With that, he pushed an unopened bottle of wine in front of Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan knew that he had found a strange place, if he didn't want to be looked down upon, he had to show his skills, so he didn't shirk, took the wine bottle with his left hand, and gently picked the bottle cap with his right fingers, and the cap fell off, and then Zhang Chengyuan picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Chris Tucker, and said: "Open the wine bottle with your hands, people who have practiced kung fu for a few years can easily do it, it's not too difficult, Chinese kung fu is broad and profound, it's not something that this little skill can represent, I'll perform a little more difficult for you." ”

Chris Tucker urged, "Then hurry up, I can't wait!" ”

Zhang Chengyuan will stretch out his left palm, palm facing the sky, then put the bottle cap in the palm of his hand, his right hand gently pressed it, and he didn't see his force, after about five seconds, he raised his right hand, only to see that the bottle cap has become a circular plane, as if he drew a circle on the paper and then cut it off.

Chris Tucker's eyes widened, and he picked up the bottle cap with two fingers in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "This is not true, is it?" You're doing magic tricks instead of performing kung fu, right? Jack, come and see, this brother actually made a bottle cap with his hand to make it look like this! ”

Cheng Long and the others looked at it, and after asking about the situation, they also felt incredible, if Zhang Chengyuan smashed it with his fist, they might be surprised, but they wouldn't feel unacceptable, but just two palms gently put together to press the wine bottle cap into a plane, how hard does it take, how much strength does it take? Therefore, except for Cheng Long, everyone else thinks that this is impossible, and Chris Tucker must have been deceived by this Asian.

When they said this, Chris Tucker also felt that he might have been deceived by Zhang Chengyuan, and asked, "Hey, man, can't you fool me?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "Actually, I'm doing magic, and the real wine bottle cap is here." Stretched out his right hand, empty, when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Chengyuan turned his right hand again, palm down, quickly shook it, and then flipped it again, spread out his palm, and a wine bottle cap immediately appeared on the palm.

After seeing this common scene in magic shows, Chris Tucker and others were convinced that the bottle cap had just changed into a flat shape, but Zhang Chengyuan used magic techniques to "steal beams and change pillars", not caused by Chinese kung fu.

Zhang Chengyuan felt very helpless about the shallowness of these foreigners, knowing that these people couldn't even understand the general internal kung fu, he might as well show them more superficial and easy-to-understand hard skills, so that in order not to shock the world, he had to use a trick of "magic". In fact, he didn't know any magic, he just used his true qi to suck a bottle cap from the ground and put it in his hand.

Only Cheng Long felt a little strange, he had been paying attention to Zhang Chengyuan's actions since Zhang Chengyuan first opened the bottle cap empty-handed, and knew that the surface of the original wine bottle cap was smooth and without a little wrinkle, but the bottle cap that Zhang Chengyuan later conjured out had obvious traces left by the corkscrew, and it was obviously not the same wine bottle cap. So there must be something strange about it.
