Chapter 681: A New Audition in Hollywood; regret

After leaving Kim Tae-hee's house, Jang Sung-won drove back to the apartment, bathed and changed, had breakfast, and then prepared to go out to find some free sisters to party, and suddenly remembered that when he was doing business with Kim Tae-hee last night, Lin Ji-so seemed to have called him to find him, but he refused to answer without knowing at the time, but now that he is back, he should always ask, so he went downstairs to Lin Ji-so's office.

After entering, he found that there was an employee in the office reporting to Lin Zhixiu, so he sat on the sofa next to him and prepared to wait for a while. But Lin Zhixiu dared to let him wait, after seeing him, he immediately quickly explained a few words to the employee and asked her to quit, and then walked quickly to Zhang Chengyuan and sat down, and said softly: "Boss, are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "When you called me last night, I happened to have something to do, so I didn't answer, so now I want to ask you if you have anything important to tell me." ”

"Oh, there's something important to report to you. Last night your Hollywood agent Jon. Brian called and said he had given you another movie corner for you, and asked you to go to the United States tomorrow for the audition the day after tomorrow. Lin Jixiu replied.

"Tomorrow? The morning after tomorrow? Zhang Chengyuan frowned, "Isn't it time for Xiuyan to hold a concert tomorrow and the night after tomorrow?" If I go to the United States tomorrow and audition the day after tomorrow, won't I miss the girls' concerts, and I will miss both? Well, you call Jon now and see if he can bring the audition forward or postpone it by a day. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "I asked about this last night, but he said that this is a large-scale interview meeting, and he can't change it." And also said. If you can't get there in time. This horn cesium probably has nothing to do with you. After all, Zhang Chengyuan is only an Asian actor, and he is not very famous in Hollywood, so American investors and crews will naturally not give him any convenience.

Zhang Chengyuan said disapprerovingly: "It's okay, it's okay, Jisoo, you can help me push it." "I have to say, he can be quite pushy at times, especially when it comes to his sisters.

Lin Zhixiu said with some hesitation: "Boss, do you think about it carefully." "If it's something else. Whatever Zhang Chengyuan said, she would do it, but this matter was related to his career prospects, and she had to be bold enough to persuade him, after all, this matter was much more important than watching the girls' concerts.

Zhang Chengyuan hesitated slightly, and said, "You mean I should go?" Lin Zhixiu's words, he listened more and more.

Lin Zhixiu didn't answer directly, but said euphemistically: "Boss, do you remember the scene when you took over the filming of "Inception"? ”

Zhang Chengyuan thought about it and understood what she meant. said: "At the beginning, I wanted to refuse to participate in the audition for "Inception" because I thought it was too tiring to film at both ends. So much so that I almost missed this wonderful movie. Jisoo, do you think I might miss a great movie this time? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Although it can't be said for sure, it is indeed possible, boss, I think Jon. Brian doesn't let you just go to audition for a movie with little promise. "Through the drama "Inception", Jang Sung-won and Lim Ji-so have recognized Jon. Brian's ability to select films.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Maybe you are right. But how do I explain to Xiuyeon, they must have wanted me to go and watch their first solo performance. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "I think if they know your current situation, they will definitely support you to audition for Hollywood movies." In their minds, you are the best actor in Korea, and they definitely want you to go further and further in Hollywood. And if you miss out on a great movie because of them, then they will definitely blame themselves when they know it. Also, didn't you promise to go and watch them live? So it's not a breach of trust with them. ”

Going to watch the girls' concert was just Zhang Chengyuan's idea, of course, the girls did hope that he could attend, but they didn't ask him to appear, because they knew that Lu Dao was a busy person, and there might be something important at any time.

Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go to the United States, well, I hope they really won't complain about me." He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't have a private jet, otherwise, I should be able to catch up this time, and I don't have to be so embarrassed." ”

Lin Zhixiu's heart moved, and said: "Boss, when you become a star in the world in the future, it may really be necessary to buy a private jet." Moreover, the purchase and maintenance of a private jet is nothing to us. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Is it too ostentatious?" Domestic stars don't seem to have anyone owning a private jet yet? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "That's because there is no need for this, and most of them don't have the financial resources." As for whether it will cause public dissatisfaction, it depends on the situation, if it is now, naturally it will not work, they will definitely accuse you of showing off your wealth, but if you become a real world-class star, they may turn around and support you. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said a little unconcernedly: "When I become a star in the world, it is estimated that it will take several years, so this matter is not in a hurry, of course, you can learn about this aspect of the matter first, so as to prepare as soon as possible." Okay, that's all for now, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

Lin Jixiu nodded and waited for him to speak.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "In another four or five months, Sister Taixi's brokerage contract with Namooactors will expire, you can help me persuade Sister Taixi to let her sign a contract with our company." ”

Lin Zhixiu said suspiciously: "Boss, is it better for you to tell Sister Taixi about this?" ”

"Me? I can't! Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Two years ago, when I went to persuade Sister Taixi to join our company, she refused. So this time I can't persuade her directly, but you should go first, so that even if she refuses, there is still some room for manoeuvre. ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Sister Taixi is not very ...... with you How could she refuse this request from you last time? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't know about this, I asked her last time, but she didn't pay attention to me at all." Maybe you can help me ask. ”

Lin Zhixiu said again: "What if I can't persuade her." So what to do? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then let the other sisters help persuade you." If they can't persuade them, I'll make the last attempt. ”

Lin Zhixiu said with some hesitation: "But boss, among your sisters, there seems to be no one who has a good relationship with Sister Taixi." ”

"Won't it?" Zhang Chengyuan was surprised.

Lin Zhixiu said: "Although there are a few people who can talk to her, it is true that I don't have a very good relationship with her." ”

"Sister Taixi is so unsociable? But she's not a proud person, is she? In addition to being surprised, Zhang Chengyuan was also puzzled.

"A person's misfit is not always due to pride. It could also be that it's because she doesn't like to socialize very much, and I think this is the case with Sister Taehee. Lin Jixiu thought for a while.

Zhang Chengyuan groaned: "Also, in addition to work, Sister Taixi used to be almost an otaku, which is slightly better than the previous Sister Hailin." ”

In fact, not only Kim Tae-hee, many celebrities are otaku, this is because they may receive too hot attention as soon as they go out, making it almost difficult for them to move an inch, so they are reluctant to go out over time.

Zhang Chengyuan said again: "It seems that she will have to get along with her sisters more in the future, so that she can get rid of her habit of not going out." Well. And if you want her to get along with her sisters more, you have to sign her into our company. So I have to sign her this time! ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss." I'll do my best. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "You can do your best in this matter, if you can't persuade her, you don't need to be too reluctant, I will take over this matter then." After that, whether it is a sincere request or a stubborn fight, I will ask Sister Taixi to sign a contract with our company. In this matter, he didn't want to force Kim Tae-hee, but for her sake, he decided that he must do it.

……

After talking to Lim Ji-so, Jang Sung-won went out to visit his sisters, and by the way, he also went to visit Girls' Generation to watch their concert rehearsals - since he couldn't go to their concerts live, it would be a compromise to see how they rehearsed. In addition, he explained to them that he would not be able to attend their concert tomorrow because he had to audition in the United States, and explained and apologized.

After hearing this, the girls were a little disappointed and regretful, but they didn't complain about him, after all, they also knew the importance of Taoism, compared to letting Zhang Chengyuan stay to watch their concert, Zhang Chengyuan's career in Hollywood was naturally much more important, so they all supported his decision and wished him a successful audition.

Zhang Chengyuan was greatly pleased, and immediately promised to invite them to dinner to celebrate their achievements after returning to China, as a reparation. Although this is not new, the girls are still happy to hear it. For them, it is already a good thing to be able to get together with the busy man Zhang Chengyuan.

At noon the next day, Zhang Chengyuan left for the United States, arriving in Los Angeles that night, and then on the morning of the third day, under the supervision of his agent Jon. Accompanied by Brian, he auditioned for the film Thor and was successful.

It's just a pity that the caesium he got this time is still a supporting role, although it is a supporting role with a heavy role, almost the second male lead, but it is still a supporting role, and it is also the villain caesium, which makes him a little unhappy. Because he has played the villain Horn Cesium in two Hollywood movies before, he has begun to get tired of it, and the last one just got out of bad luck and just turned into the same camp as the protagonist, and I don't want this one to become a villain again.

Looking at Zhang Chengyuan's somewhat sullen appearance, Jon. Brian said: "Yuan, you must know that many Asian actors want to act in Hollywood movies, but they can't act, you easily won the male number two caesium, what is there to be dissatisfied with?" And this horn cesium will appear in several other works of Marvel movies in the future, you are equivalent to getting several movie contracts in one audition, and you are making a lot of money. ”

Because Zhang Chengyuan's name is a bit awkward for him, he simply calls Zhang Chengyuan "Yuan", although this syllable is not easy to pronounce, but it is easier than "Zhang Chengyuan". In addition, in fact, Zhang Chengyuan has an English name, called "William? Zhang", but he didn't think the English name was kind enough, because he knew that Zhang Chengyuan didn't like others to call him by his English name.

Zhang Chengyuan said in English: "It stands to reason that I really shouldn't be dissatisfied, but I've always been unwilling to be subservient. ”

Jon. Brian said: "Everybody's heart thinks like this, but if you want to be the main character, you have to take it one step at a time, and besides, you're still Asian." Although I hate to say this, I have to admit that Hollywood is still very discriminatory against Asian actors, so it is very difficult for you to become a Hollywood superstar.

Unless there are film giants who appreciate you and are willing to tailor a film specifically for you, it is absolutely impossible for you to succeed in Hollywood in a short period of time. Although you have the skills of Li Xiaolong, or even stronger, it doesn't work very well, because today's stunts are enough to transform ordinary actors into superheroes who are more powerful than Li Xiaolong, so it is almost impossible to have a second Li Xiaolong in this world. ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "You are right, there is only one Li Xiaolong in this world, and there can be no second one." However, I am sure that I will not lose to him in my future achievements. Because I definitely outlive him, I'll have more time to conquer Hollywood. Just wait and see. ”

"Okay, I'll see." Although I think Zhang Chengyuan is too arrogant, it is a good thing that his artists can be ambitious. Brian didn't want to hit Zhang Chengyuan, and although he felt that Zhang Chengyuan couldn't reach the height of Li Xiaolong, it was absolutely no problem to become a Hollywood star, it just took a certain amount of time.

Because he has a toned body, charming eyes that fascinate all women, actor-like acting skills, and outstanding skills...... Almost everything is lacking, the only thing is skin color, but this is not insurmountable. Just like today's caesium, the casting director was reluctant to choose him because of his skin color, but after seeing his excellent performance in all aspects and putting on a little makeup similar to that of a European, he immediately decided to let him play the role of "Thor's brother", the first antagonist in the film.

In fact, with a little makeup, he looks quite like a Westerner, at least like an Asian-European half-breed. In this regard, Zhang Chengyuan was quite unhappy, but after all, it was just filming, and it was not easy to say anything, after all, some actors can even play zombies, werewolves, ghosts and other aliens in order to act, and he is nothing.
