Chapter 2 Invitations
Zhou Zhen's home is surrounded by mountains and seas, sitting west and facing east, and is the style of a courtyard house.
The main building is a two-story Mediterranean-style building, with a two-story ceiling design and a large living room, where he and his parents live on the south side.
The south side is designed in an arc of 270 degrees, and you can see the sea in several different directions and the Dading Mountain not far to the south.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main house on the south side, until the roof of the south wing, there are hundreds of square meters of large balconies, which are planted with flowers and plants on both sides, and the easternmost end is a viewing pavilion.
Even with some facilities, the open space of the balcony is still nearly 300 square meters, half of which is covered and half is unroofed, and this is also the practice ground for him and his mother.
The sun came out, and Zhou Zhen, who ran to the beach a few times back and forth, came back and saw that his mother was still boring practicing leg presses.
Leg press is when the upper body lies flat on the ground, the legs are raised at a 90-degree angle, and the grip arm of a tension machine is pushed in turn. Behind the tensioner, a wire rope hangs two hundred kilograms of barbell plates.
Now she is forty-eight years old and no longer trains strength. Two hundred kilograms, just the weight of her stay in shape.
In terms of leg strength, Zhou Zhen didn't find a woman more powerful than anyway.
"I heard your phone ringing just now......"
After an hour of training, Xu Gui'e still didn't blush or panting, but was slightly sweating.
Zhou Zhen nodded. "Mom, did my dad call last night?"
"Well, the money is settled, and if it goes well, you can go back today."
"He's okay, right?"
"I can't die anyway, I can't get better."
Zhou Zhen gave her a vaccination and said, "I got a miracle medicine, and when he comes back, I will see if it works." ”
Xu Gui'e got up from the ground, patted her body, and pursed her lips disdainfully. "Bullshit, it's all a lie. The country is not well cured everywhere, the United States, Britain has also gone, and it is not like that now...... It's just that people have suffered a little bit......"
After Zhou Zhen entered the house, he opened the curtains in the room with the remote control and picked up the mobile phone placed on the bedside.
At first glance, it turned out to be Xiaoliang calling.
Xu Gui'e also walked in, helped Zhou Zhen pick up the socks that were thrown on the ground, and drove him up. "Go to the side, I'll clean up your bed for you."
Zhou Zhen walked to the sofa on the east side and dialed Xiaoliang's phone.
The phone rang and it rang. "Xiao Zhen, I'm Xiao Liang."
"Brother Xiaoliang is good."
"Are you home in the morning? I wanted to talk to you about something. ”
You're a big star looking for me to talk about something? Don't tie it!
When Xu Gui'e heard Zhou Zhen call Brother Xiaoliang, she also shook her head, although she and Xiaoliang's mother also knew each other, but they were not in a circle, and the relationship between the two families was not so close.
The communication between their middle-aged women does not affect the children.
What's more, who is Xiao Liang? Big stars!
She came over, and Zhou Zhen said, "Brother Xiaoliang, you have no head or tail, which makes me feel unsure." You can say anything, and you can help me. ”
"I took a movie, your kung fu is good, are you interested in being my action director?"
If it had been last night, Zhou Zhen would have refused without thinking. Just kidding, I'm a big guy in the dark, I'll be your action guide, so you have nothing to do!
However, thinking of the fate of his predecessor, Zhou Zhen hesitated.
Xu Gui'e heard it next to her, and immediately asked with great interest: "Xiaoliang, is this what you mean, or is this what the crew means?" Is there any pay? ”
Xiao Liang's tone over there immediately became much more intimate. "Hello, I have also communicated with the United States, which can be regarded as my personal action guide. The crew is willing to give 30,000 US dollars, I know that the money is not much, and you are not bad for this money, I will make up Xiaozhen 200,000 yuan here, so you should do me a favor, do you think it will work? ”
Xu Gui'e didn't care about money, but Xiaoliang's attitude made her very satisfied. "Look at what you said, I don't have any opinions, it depends on whether Xiao Zhen is willing or not. How long will it take? ”
"For two months at most, I have covered all the food, housing and transportation. It is...... The U.S. side wants to see what Xiao Zhen is capable of. But don't worry, if Xiao Zhen makes them satisfied, they will add money, and if they are not satisfied, a share from my side is indispensable. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoliang, let's do it, you tell me in advance before you leave, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I should go with you to meet the world." ”
Xiao Liang smiled over there: "Okay, I'll ask my mother to take me to your house, and we'll talk in person, a lot of things, it's more troublesome." ”
Hanging up the phone, Xu Gui'e said: "Anyway, I won't let you get on the boat, it's good for you to see the world, if you have the opportunity to be a star, your mother and I will follow behind."
Look at Xiaoliang's parents, they were originally ordinary workers, but now in Green Island, the district mayor has to greet him with a smile when he sees it. ”
Zhou Zhen said disdainfully: "Comparison psychology." ”
Xu Gui'e's iron sand palm slapped him on the head. "That is to say, your appearance was popular decades ago, and now girls like that kind of little white face, you can't be a star if you want to! Hurry up and wash up, and then go down to eat later. ”
The nanny hired by his brother-in-law is a widow aunt in his hometown, who takes care of Zhou Zhen's grandparents for three meals a day on weekdays, and guards the door by the way.
Basically, Zhou Zhen's parents only eat breakfast at home on weekdays, and they spend noon and evening at the farmhouse or socializing outside.
went downstairs for breakfast, and after a while, Xiaoliang came over with his family, assistants and a large group of people in two cars.
Xiao Liang came over for the first time and arranged for others to drink tea and watch the scenery at the viewing pavilion, Zhou Zhen took the couple to visit and came to the big balcony outside Zhou Zhen's room.
In terms of houses, his house is not as good as the billionaire mansion bought by Xiaoliang, but in terms of geographical advantages, there are few in the country that can compare to the location of Zhou Zhen's family occupying a mountain col and a bay.
The two sides praised each other, although Xiaoliang is a big star with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but he is a man and a man who does things exquisitely.
Many people in the media said that his acting skills were poor, but almost no one said that he was a poor person, which is also a skill.
After blowing each other, they sat down by the flower stand on the balcony and began a formal conversation.
"As for the action director, it's easy to say, isn't it just to design a set of fighting moves! But it's hard to do well. Because not only do I have to think about whether I can do it, but also coordinate with the overall style, and the most important thing is that the action should be beautiful in front of the camera, or sharp. ”
Zhou Zhen smiled: "Brother Xiaoliang, I also know some of this when you say this." I learned a lot of things, in addition to the north leg, I also know a little about Western martial arts. Since your movie was made in the United States, it must be an American action director. If I can convince them, I will stay, and if I can't win, I won't let them go. ”
Xiao Liang smiled: "The shock you gave me yesterday was not small, I really want to learn a few tricks from you, if it doesn't work, I will also worship you, the little master." ”
Zhou Zhen shook his head and said: "The movie is a shot based on the upper body, and our northern legs are not as good as Nanquan." Moreover, it is more difficult to train legs than boxing, and basic skills are very important. Since you want to enter Hollywood as your goal, let's practice boxing and martial arts more! ”
"What is entering Hollywood, playing soy sauce, our roots are still here......"
The two chatted for a while, and they were still more agreeable.
The main thing is that Xiaoliang can speak, he doesn't put on a show, the two sides of the family are not far away, and his mother knows each other, so he naturally gets a lot closer.
Zhou Zhen didn't expect that he would have an adventure in the movie world, and the real world could still have a relationship with the movie, and while chatting with Xiaoliang, he couldn't help but think about it.
The existence of the system indicates that every novel, every TV series, every movie, and even every rumor is a non-stop world.
Although there is a feeling of fantasy shining into reality, it is real.
If this is the case, if you invest in making movies and TV series, is it possible to travel into the movies you act?
It's really possible!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen felt very interesting.
He entered the secret door, and the system was still playing dead, and he could only wait for it to evade the will of the world.
Since the system can instill skills and memories, it should also be able to adjust the appearance.
Zhou Zhen's foundation is actually very good, with a height of 1.85 meters and a weight of 85 kilograms, but his appearance is a little rough, which is very different from the current aesthetics.
In the era of Ken Takakura, he could still play a male lead with this appearance, but now he can only play a second male or villain at most.
If any director is nervous, it is also possible to find him to play a male lead in an anti-Japanese drama.
In the past, Zhou Zhen didn't know how to act, but now he has the memory of four people, and if he wants to play a role, it's easy.
Just by adjusting himself to different characters, he can play the sentimental Wenqing, the vicious villain, the righteous and awe-inspiring lawyer, and a reckless and heroic self.
If you really want to have such a role, it is easy to win a Best Supporting Actor.
Because everyone else is acting, he is acting in his true colors.
The more I thought about him, the more energetic I became, and said to Xiao Liang: "Brother Xiao Liang, if there is a suitable role this time, talk to the crew, I think I can also participate in a role, I don't need to be paid, I just have a good time." ”
Xiao Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee this now, I'll go back and help you ask." ”
This is a deep exchange.
He spent some money and asked Zhou Zhen to be his guide, and arranged the role, Zhou Zhen's face was not so big.
Of course, this may also be that the crew does not return to Xiaoliangguan and dare not pack tickets.
Zhou Zhen doesn't care, if it is successful, forget it if it doesn't work.
Xiaoliang's sister-in-law turned her head to look at Zhou Zhen and said, "You are also very manly, you have a good figure, and you seem to have an audience." If you have a chance, you might be able to make a small fire. ”
Zhou Zhen knew that this was his demagogic charm, and before he had this ability, he was a reckless man.
After chatting about business, his current fitness coach and assistant also got together, and under the influence of everyone, his fitness coach also wanted to test Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Zhen shook his head with a smile, spread a soft cushion in the middle of the balcony, and took the lead in taking off his shoes and standing up. "I don't use my legs, I stand still, I will fight you with boxing, as long as you can hit me effectively, even if I lose."
An effective hit is when an attacking team's fist hits the opponent, not counting contact against defense.
If Zhou Zhen resisted with his arms, it would not be considered an effective hit.
The other party obviously has a little bit of real kung fu, otherwise he would not have been selected to become Xiaoliang's fitness coach.
But there is a huge difference between the two people, and Zhou Zhen is now in the boxing ring and fighting ring, which is also the most professional and powerful group.
His offense couldn't break through Zhou Zhen's defense at all, and Zhou Zhen's punch could make him lose his combat effectiveness.
Zhou Zhen didn't move his feet, and easily won the competition, making the other party almost depressed.
And this also let everyone see that Zhou Zhen does have real kung fu, not a showmanship.
