Chapter 1131 - Becoming a World Superstar Without Paying Attention?
"I didn't expect that my next work would be it!"
In the United States, Menjie, who had just gotten off the plane, took a car to the base camp of Universal Pictures, and couldn't help but mutter.
After receiving the finale reward of the movie "Casting a Name", Menjie directly used the lottery ticket for the audition of the top film and television works, and finally had good luck and won the second best option.
The position of the male protagonist of a classic of medium quality.
Now, Menjie is in the United States to audition.
"I didn't expect that it was just a skill that I randomly chose to exchange some time ago, and it will be able to come in handy today!"
Sitting in the car, Menjie couldn't help but think slightly.
The name of the movie that I got the opportunity to audition for is "Wanted", of course, in Huaxia, there is also a name like "League of Assassins", and the role that Menjie came to audition for today is the actor in it.
A character who was very ordinary at the beginning, even a little 'cowardly', but then grew into an excellent killer.
Even if it is a righteous killer, it is indispensable to have a 'killing aura' that only a killer has, and at the same time, as a top killer, a feeling of indifference is also indispensable.
Coincidentally, these two temperaments, Menjie already has A-level application ability, and under the fusion of two by two, he definitely surpasses all people!
Even if he is at the level of an Oscar-winning actor and stands at the pinnacle of the world, he can only slightly suppress Men Jie in terms of comprehensive strength, but there is no Men Jie suitable for this role.
In addition, the charm value has reached a full 94 points, and the handsomeness has long surpassed the constraints of the race. There is no such thing as a yellow race, a white race, or anything like that.
Naturally, the audition is very simple and calm.
After a while. Menjie came to the base camp of Universal Pictures, under the leadership of specialized personnel. Menjie came to the audition room.
The director is 'Timobek Manbetov', a Russian director who himself directed the films "Gladiator Woman", "The Night Watch" and other famous films, and is the leader of the casting of the film "Wanted" today.
And before coming over, Wan Tongtong used the little energy distributed by the celebrity entertainment company that had been established in the United States to investigate, and it is said that after taking a fancy to the indifferent temperament exuded by Menjie from the movie "Lust and Caution", as well as his incomparably strong strength, it aroused Director Timo's love for talent, and he took the initiative to contact Menjie. Invitation to audition.
Obviously, Timo is very optimistic about Menjie!
In fact, this is also something that Menjie expected, after all, the audition opportunity obtained through the 'film and television work lottery ticket' can easily increase Menjie's chances of getting the role by nearly half, and this success rate is converted into the director's favorability, which is also a reasonable thing.
But what Menjie didn't expect was the next audition work. It's so simple, and even in the past few years of debut, there has never been such a simple audition!
"Good!"
Seeing Menjie's extremely flexible presentation of a clip from the movie "Wanted", I saw that Director Teemo's eyes were full of joy. "That's it, that's how I want to feel!"
Just now, Menjie perfectly integrated the A-level killing temperament and the A-level indifferent temperament. It's like a real, the most prominent man in the killer world. Sharp.
excellent, even made Director Teemo think. Menjie was a killer, and at that moment, a fear rose in his heart.
But then, Director Timo also knew that this was the effect of using his temperament ability to the extreme, and he had a high look at Menjie's strength.
In the whole world, I am afraid that there are few people who can show such a strong temperament and ability, and I am afraid that there is only one person who can integrate temperament and ability, right?
The use of this temperament and ability alone is enough to make Menjie one of the top actors in the world!
And although he is young, Menjie's acting skills have also reached the S-level level, which also surprised Director Timo.
With such a strong strength, as well as such a role that is very suitable for the actor of the movie "Wanted", coupled with the fact that he is very optimistic about Menjie, after various reasons are superimposed, Director Timo announced directly on the spot that the actor of the movie "Wanted" is Menjie!
This shocked Menjie.
In the past, which audition was not a painstaking exercise for Menjie, in order to be able to defeat the original protagonist of the movie, he kept trying to find a way, and even some darker methods were used, just to get one or two roles.
For a long time, it has been so difficult for Menjie to be able to star in any work.
But now, Menjie is so simple and calm, and he got such a role as the actor from the original protagonist of the movie "Wanted".
Just when he heard Director Timo announce that the role belonged to him, and everyone around him, even the original protagonist of the movie, cast admiring glances at him, Menjie was shocked in his heart, but he understood a lot.
For a long time, even with a huge popularity, when facing many old-timers in the circle, Menjie's own posture is very low, and when facing the original protagonist of the movie, there will be a feeling of 'I must find a way to defeat the other party'.
All along, Menjie has been constantly overcoming difficulties and overcoming obstacles.
But now I suddenly found that I had reached such a point unconsciously.
Even the original actor of "Wanted", a high-budget movie that is destined to be a hit and has an investment of 75 million US dollars, said that "it is not comparable to Menjie at all".
This role is completely hand-to-hand, even if he doesn't get a bonus of nearly half of the success rate, Menjie can calmly take it away.
At this time, Menjie realized that he had really relied on his extraordinary popularity and the super strength shown in the movie "Lust and Caution" to be included in the ranks of the pinnacle of the world's film industry.
Although there are still some people who can beat themselves and can be in their twenties. At least has been ranked first among all movie stars under the age of 40, such an achievement. Absolutely terrifying.
Naturally, when competing for the vast majority of roles. At least a little bit of fit, you can easily take away the character with your huge popularity and unmatched strength.
At this time, the general trend has been achieved!
"Menjie, welcome to join the crew, probably at the beginning of February 08, our movie "Wanted" will officially start filming, and the time will be about four months, you adjust the schedule. I know that you are the top big star in China, one of the most dazzling superstars in Asia in the past two years, Ha Luha! ”
Eventually, after completing the audition for the leading actor, Director Timo patted Menjie on the shoulder and said with a smile.
The other party also knew that in addition to the identity of an actor, Menjie also had the identity of the chairman of an entertainment company and a wealthy man. deliberately narrowed the relationship between the two, and maybe it will be useful one day in the future.
"Don't worry, Director, in February? There's still a long way to go, and I promise I'll get all my schedule issues sorted out by then. All the work in Asia was taken care of, and when we officially started filming, we definitely didn't take too many time off. Delay the filming progress of the movie! ”
There is still a long time to go, and Menjie agreed without hesitation.
So long. Not to mention the movie "Lust and Caution" and the new album "Gentleness" that are currently on the air, even the movies "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" are almost underlined. There's still a very long time, which is definitely enough for Menjie to handle all his work.
However, it is a pity that before the filming of the movie "Wanted" started, there was still a very long period of time, and during this time, it seems that Menjie has no way to shoot any film and television works.
If you add a film and television work in the middle, it will lead to a very rush in terms of time, which is indeed a little helpless.
"Director Timo, in that case, let my agent negotiate with Universal Pictures here about the salary, you continue to audition, and I'll go back to read the script first!"
After chatting for a while, seeing that the audition was still going on, Menjie didn't continue to bother, and glanced at his agent in the United States behind him, and left him here to negotiate the salary, Menjie said hello to Director Timo and said goodbye in advance.
Originally, Director Timo also wanted Menjie to receive professional training in related aspects, but in the end, after audition, Director Timo knew very well that Menjie himself was very strong in terms of action scenes, even much stronger than those training teachers.
As for his own temperament, he is even more like a killer, and even if a real killer comes, he may not be able to have the momentum of Menjie.
In this way, Menjie does not need any training at all!
It was only at this time that Director Timo believed that when the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" was popular, director Zack Snyder said that Menjie did not need to train for any film at all, which is really a wise saying!
"I didn't expect that I would be such a big name now? The role of the leading actor in a movie with an investment of 75 million US dollars was so easily obtained! ”
After leaving the base camp of Universal Pictures, Menjie was still a little incredulous, he really didn't expect that he had reached such a level.
I'm afraid that no one in the whole of China can have such treatment when he is abroad, right? After a little audition, I got a big-budget movie with an investment of 75 million US dollars.
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so easy, it seems that with the two movies "Spartan 300 Warriors" and "Lust and Caution", as well as your strength, you have gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, and the future development is bright!"
Seeing that everything is going so smoothly today, Zhao Quan, the number one agent next to Menjie, is also quite excited, as if he has seen the birth of a world-class star, and even has a feeling of disbelief.
But at this moment, Zhao Quan's hand suddenly rang, and without waiting for Menjie to speak, he picked up the phone.
It seemed to be a call from the company's headquarters, and there was any good news to inform him, but Menjie didn't hear it clearly, so he only waited until the call was made to inquire in detail.
"Ha Luha, thank you!"
After a while, Zhao Quan finished the call. His face was full of joy.
"What's wrong?"
Frowning slightly, Menjie couldn't think of it. There is something worthy of such joy as the agent of his big star, and he can't help but be curious.
"Ha Lu Ha. We don't have to go back to the hotel first, just go to Universal Pictures, let's go back! ”
patted the driver's shoulder directly, Zhao Quan said happily, until the driver transferred back and rushed towards Universal Pictures, where Menjie had just left, Zhao Quan eased his mood, but it made Menjie even more confused.
If you just got a reply like 'I'm sorry' and you suddenly get a phone call. Menjie can still feel that his role has taken a turn for the better, but now that he has got the role of the leading actor in the movie "Wanted", and he asked himself to go back, what else can he do?
And it was Zhao Quan who was so surprised.
"Ha Luha, Menjie, we have made a lot of money, we have made a lot of money, I didn't expect to be so lucky, there are so many good opportunities when we first arrived in the United States. You're definitely a world-class star now! ”
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhao Quan said to Menjie, "I got a notice from the company just now that Rob Cohen found you. I want to invite you to audition for an upcoming film! ”
Robbie Cohen!
His heart moved, and Menjie was equally surprised.
This is a top Hollywood director, who has directed famous movies such as "Extreme Agent" and "Fast and Furious". Some time ago, it was even reported that he would direct the movie "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". Definitely Hollywood's top blockbusters.
Now, suddenly invite yourself to come over and audition. Could it be the movie "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"?
In an instant, Menjie was also excited, you must know that this is a Hollywood blockbuster that has been filmed into a series, which is a level higher than the movie "Wanted", and it is definitely a pretty good work.
The male protagonist will inevitably not succeed, but as a very important role of the "Dragon Emperor" in the movie "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", if you can get it, it is also a pretty good choice.
"I must work hard and strive to get this role, when the time comes, I will have my role in these two Hollywood blockbusters, and after it spreads all over the world, my popularity will reach a higher level, and I will be able to have the popularity and strength comparable to the peak actor of the world!"
With a thought, Menjie made a decision in an instant, and a touch of perseverance flashed in his eyes.
"After reading the script in a while, even if it is simply to participate in this movie, let me spend hundreds of thousands of store points to exchange for skills, I am willing, the role of 'Dragon Emperor' in this movie, I will decide!"
may also be from the simple and calm audition of the movie "Wanted" just now, which made Menjie even more confident, and he also felt that the role of the "Dragon Emperor" belonged to him.
In this way, Menjie also led the driver and quickly returned to Universal Pictures, which had just left.
However, this time, instead of going to Director Timo's location, he went to another floor.
Of course, before this, Menjie also met with Director Timo, said hello and explained the purpose of his coming again, and then went to Rob Cohen's location under Director Timo's surprised gaze.
The other roles in the movie "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" have all completed all the auditions and selected actors, leaving only the role of "Dragon Emperor", which is too demanding.
The requirements are best to be Chinese, to have a certain foundation in action dramas, and to be able to have the temperament of a king, and it is best to be handsome.
After thinking about it for a long time, Rob Cohen didn't expect that he happened to hear that the Chinese actor Menjie had just appeared in Universal Pictures, so he had a whim and asked Menjie to come over and give it a try.
Naturally, there were no other auditioners, and they sent a thick script to Menjie.
Because of the limited time, Menjie didn't have time to watch the movie in the Tianwang system, so he could only rely on the information on the script to understand it a little.
This look surprised Menjie.
It's not the difficulty, it's not the need to spend high points for the role, but the ......
What a coincidence!
Coincidentally, the requirements for the 'Dragon Emperor' in the movie "The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" are majestic, powerful, and have the ability to fight and kill, just like a warrior on the battlefield.
Among the two temperament abilities, the 'Iron Temperament' Men Jie seems to have upgraded it to A-level, and then although he also feels that the 'Majestic Temperament' will be of great use in the future, he doesn't do anything, gritted his teeth, and once again spent a full 400,000 points to raise his majestic temperament to A-level.
However, in order to come to the United States this time, in order to get two roles, Menjie upgraded his indifferent temperament and majestic temperament to A-level respectively, and used up the remaining 580,000 points on his body, as well as the points obtained by countless works over the years, but did not receive them, all of which were consumed, and he barely succeeded in redeeming them.
Although Menjie became penniless and didn't have many points, he also raised all his innate temperaments to A-level.
After that, everything seems to be incredibly simple.
has already reached the S-level acting skills in itself, as well as the fusion of the two A-level temperaments of majesty and iron and blood that are most suitable for the role of "Dragon Emperor", excellent action scenes and perfect appearance, which directly made director Rob Cohen also directly agree to give the role of "Dragon Emperor" to Menjie.
The whole process took less than an hour, and Menjie once again easily grasped an extremely important role in this Hollywood blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million dollars and countless fans.
Even the whole process, without the slightest wave, must be calm, and purely by virtue of strength, it really makes Menjie feel unbelievable.
Sure enough, are you already strong enough to be this point?
If you don't pay attention, you will become a world-class superstar? (To be continued......)
