Chapter 130 Heading to Hollywood
I bought a very good set of four treasures for more than 10,000 yuan. Although it is a modern product, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all of high quality. Mr. Yu Yuanqing has no love for things, so there is no need to spend high prices to buy antiques. Besides, He said that if Mr. Yu knew that Zhang Wei spent too much money to buy gifts, the old man would probably be unhappy. Wouldn't that violate the original intention of Zhang Wei's visit? please()
When Zhang Wei went to visit his master with gifts, his senior sister Yu Xiaomei was also there. However, she was not polite to Zhang Wei and criticized him in front of his father. The main reason was that she felt that Zhang Wei really did not study hard and clearly had basic skills. I'm still not solid enough and unwilling to study hard, but I want to get involved in some entertainment industry. I have a lot of objections to this. On the contrary, Yu Yuanqing supported Zhang Wei's development in the entertainment industry, but told Zhang Wei to learn basic skills well and not to bury his good voice.
Seeing that his senior sister was really thinking about himself, Zhang Wei was not angry, and assured his senior sister that he would work hard to strengthen his studies to promote his own progress. He also asked Yu Xiaomei if there were any opportunities at the Central Academy of Drama and Yanjing Film and Television Academy. An acquaintance, he recently wanted to improve his shortcomings in acting. Yu Xiaomei didn't object to this. Instead, she called a professor from Yanjing Film and Television Institute in front of Zhang Wei and told him about Zhang Wei. When the other party heard that Zhang Wei was Mr. Yu's apprentice, he immediately gave him face. He promised that Zhang Wei could go to the school to audit when he had nothing to do, and participate in the skit performances of the students he led.
In this way, Zhang Wei has recently added another study plan. When he goes to work, he will go to Yanjing Film and Television Academy to audit and maximize the systematic performance learning.
From Monday to Friday, Zhang Wei attends the Academy of Film and Television. On weekends, Zhang Wei goes to the Academy of Chinese Opera to study. He takes time to broadcast live in the evening. In his free time, he writes songs and sculptures. He is very busy every day, but his life is ordinary and peaceful. Enrichment.
In early May, Zhang Wei took a set of covers for "Fengdu" magazine in a professional photo studio in Yanjing. Although there was no money for this job, the sales volume of "Fengdu" magazine and the people he faced were very important for promoting Zhang Wei. The popularity is very helpful, and it is a win-win situation for both parties. A few days before Zhang Wei was about to leave for Hollywood, he completed the shooting of the "O Pao" mobile phone commercial. After "Tian Xia II" and recent acting studies, shooting a commercial is no problem for him. The female star who shot this mobile phone commercial with Zhang Wei is the popular "female actress" Zhao Liying. Perhaps they both came from a small place. After this cooperation, the two became good friends.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Wei learned two more skills during this period. One is the racial magic "disguise" learned at the suggestion of Elf Heart. According to Elf Heart, after learning the "camouflage" skill, it will complement the "dressing up" of the artistic skills Zhang Wei has learned, and the "camouflage" skill also includes profound imitation of characters, animals, plants and other creatures, which is very important for Zhang Wei. The work that Zhang Wei was doing as an actor was of great help, so Zhang Wei followed Elf Heart's advice. Another skill Zhang Wei learned is the life skill "Architecture". He learned "Architecture" mainly because this skill is somewhat related to the two skills "Painting" and "Sculpting" of the art skill, and Zhang Wei mainly considered Learning magic is completely random. With his current mental strength, if he learns a fifth-level magic, it will put a big burden on his mental strength. He doesn't want to live listlessly all day long.
There were still three days left before the cast auditions for the cast of "Prey City: Mortal Engines". Zhang Wei, Zhang Shilan, and Li Mo boarded a plane to the United States. After a long journey of more than ten hours, Zhang Wei set foot outside the country for the first time. This made X Airport the busiest passenger airport in California, the third largest airport in the United States, and the third largest airport in the world. Five, so this huge airport still shocked Zhang Wei. When I walked out of the airport, I saw an old black man holding a sign from a distance, with a name written in Chinese characters on his crooked face - "Zhang Wei".
This old black man’s name is Jix, and he is the driver Zhang Shilan has booked. In the next week, Jix will become their full-time driver. The old man’s son is a teacher at the Confucius Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles. He studied abroad in China for three years. Under the influence of his son, Jix knew how to be simple, so he was selected by Zhang Shilan to be the driver for this trip.
The three of them came to Jikes, and Zhang Shilan asked in fluent English: "Are you Jikes?"
"I am, is this man Mr. Zhang from China?" Jikes asked.
"Yes, this is Mr. Zhang, and I am Ms. Zhang, and this is Ms. Li." Zhang Shilan simply introduced the three of them to Jikes.
Jix helped put the luggage on the cart and asked, "Ms. Zhang is Mr. Zhang's wife?"
"No, we just have the same last name. You can call me Lisa. This is my English name." Zhang Shilan was an exchange student for a year, so it is not strange to have an English name.
The two of them were talking in English. Zhang Wei, a novice in English, couldn't understand it at all, so he asked Li Mo in a low voice, "What are these two muttering about?"
"Sister Shilan is introducing who we are to Jikes. He heard that your surname is Zhang and thought that Sister Lan was your wife. Sister Lan said that her British name was Lisa, not your wife." Although Li Mo has never been abroad , but I also passed CET-6 when I was in college, so there is no problem with simple listening, writing, and speaking, but my oral expression is not as smooth as Zhang Shilan's.
"Didn't you say that this old man knows it? Why do you keep talking in English?" Zhang Wei muttered dissatisfied.
Zhang Wei didn't speak loudly, but to his surprise, the old man Jikes turned around and said in strangely pronounced Mandarin: "I can speak Mandarin, a little bit. Lisa uses English. I'm used to responding. It's not intentional."
Although Jikes is an old man, he is very sharp and can hear Zhang Wei's words and understand the meaning of Zhang Wei's words in a noisy environment like the airport. This made Zhang Wei a little embarrassed, and he felt like he was talking about people behind their backs, so he said against his will: "Your Mandarin is pretty good."
Jix grinned, "My son, his pronunciation is bad and his grammar is even worse. Mandarin is difficult and I don't want to."
Zhang Wei was also amused by what the old man said, and felt that the comment about poor grammar was quite appropriate.
Led by Jikes, the group walked out of the airport and put their luggage in the car. Jikes reminded them to fasten their seat belts and set off. Jikes was very talkative. Although he spoke incoherently, he was still very active in introducing the buildings along Los Angeles to Zhang Wei and the others, and reminded them that there were some places that they should not go to late because they would be very dangerous. The hourly bus has arrived.
After sending the three of them to the hotel and confirming with Zhang Shilan that they had nothing to do, Jikes drove away. He will stay in a motel these days and be on call 24 hours a day. As long as Zhang Shilan calls, he will be there at ten He arrived at the hotel where the three of them were staying within five minutes.
The room was booked long ago. Zhang Shilan and Li Mo lived in one room, while Zhang Wei stayed alone. After checking in, it was already past four o'clock local time, which is four o'clock in the morning in China. The two girls were both in bed because of the time difference. A little tired, he took a nap in the hotel. Zhang Wei was in good spirits, but he couldn't speak English, so he had to stay in the hotel and read.
In the evening, the three of them had an authentic Western meal in the hotel, but Zhang Wei felt that the steak in this star hotel was not as delicious as the Chinese steak. Although the meat was very tender, the blood in it made Zhang Wei a little unappetizing. Zhang Shilan saw that Zhang Wei seemed not used to eating, so she ordered another pasta for Zhang Wei, and finally managed to eat a few mouthfuls. Zhang Wei felt that this thing was not as delicious as instant noodles. This was caused by the difference in diet. Not adaptable.
The second daughter went to bed early in the evening, and Zhang Wei also began to meditate in the room, saying nothing all night.
The next day, Zhang Shilan called Jason, an assistant director of "Prey City: Mortal Engines", indicating that Zhang Wei had arrived in Hollywood and asked about the location and time of the interview the day after tomorrow. After Jason answered this question, he said that director Peter Jackson was by his side and asked Zhang Wei if he had time now and wanted to communicate with Zhang Wei about something.
The three of them originally thought they would have nothing to do today, and planned to visit famous attractions such as the Avenue of Stars, the Wax Museum and the Chinese Grand Theatre. Who would have thought that Peter was so eager to meet Zhang Wei that the plan came to nothing. However, the three of them did not come here for tourism, they came here for work. Now the director wanted to meet the actors, and of course the three of them could not refuse, so they asked for Peter's address on the phone, and then called the driver Jikes and asked the three People were sent to the headquarters of Universal Pictures where Pitt was located.
After arriving, Zhang Shilan called Jason, and soon Jason appeared in front of the building and took the three of them to Peter's office.
The first impression of Pitt on Zhang Wei reminded him of the dwarves from The Lord of the Rings. This was not because Pitt was short, but because the director Pitt had a very rough personal image, with disheveled hair and a bit of a tongue-in-cheek appearance. His hairline is covered by a few curls, and his long beard that reaches to his cheekbones makes Pete look very heroic. If his twinkling eyes were a little wider, and his big nose, he would look like a dwarf. The shape of the clan's "Thorin".
Americans are different from Chinese people. Most of them are more direct, and so is Pete. After a brief introduction by both parties, without much greeting, Pete got down to business.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you participated in the filming of a movie in China some time ago, and that the movie was directed by Xu Ke, the famous kung fu director in Hong Kong. Is it a kung fu movie you shot?"
After being translated by Zhang Shilan, Zhang Weidao said: "The name of the movie I shot is "The Gate 2". The format of the movie is similar to the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hult" you shot, but it has a more Chinese style. We care about this kind of movie. The movie is called Xian Xianxia Movie.”
"Xianxia movie?" Peter obviously didn't understand this term very well, but he didn't dwell on it, but asked again: "I want to ask you, did you do any action in this movie?" Design is also kong-fu, do you know kung fu?"
--------------------------
I went to the train station to pick someone up, but the road was blocked for more than forty minutes because of a car accident ahead, so I came back late. Don't blame me, I'm sorry.
