Elf plug-in

The matter of martial arts coaching has basically been settled, which is a big deal for Zhang Wei's development. With this position, even if Zhang Wei no longer appears in movies, he can still use this matter as a publicity point to spread the word domestically. Build momentum for Zhang Wei. m.. In an era where the overall trend in the Chinese film and television industry is "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners", if Zhang Wei appears as an action director in a Hollywood blockbuster, this will have a huge effect on improving Zhang Wei's status in the film and television industry. , not to mention there is a music production position waiting for him.

The three songs "I Will Become the Wind", "The Battle of the Deer" and "Moon Festival" are originally three pieces of music that Zhang Wei found from the elf inheritance, so it is not difficult for Zhang Wei to comment on the songs adapted by Williams. Zhang Wei listened to the three songs, found out the flaws and gave his own suggestions, modified some of the tunes and rearranged them. After Zhang Wei's revision, the three songs were more suitable for symphony orchestra performance, and the songs were officially renamed "Nostalgia", "Battle of Dawn" and "Artemis Under the Moon".

Seeing Zhang Wei's music creation skills, Pitt's royal music director Williams David praised him and started many discussions with Zhang Wei on the music creation of his new film. Zhang Wei is really weak in music theory, but he has the music of the elves. Theory as a support, he did not fall behind in front of music masters. On the contrary, during the communication process between Williams and Zhang Wei, he was often touched by some of Zhang Wei's music theories and concepts, which broadened his own ideas and understanding. By the end of the conversation, Williams was eager to let Zhang Wei join his team, and vowed to let Zhang Wei serve as deputy music director, but Zhang Wei declined the offer.

At the end of the day, Zhang Wei's talent had deeply impressed Pitt and Williams. When they parted in the evening, Pitt asked Zhang Wei to bring his lawyer to the Universal Pictures headquarters tomorrow. He would provide action guidance and music production. The two contracts are ready, and the inconspicuous supporting role in the movie still needs Zhang Wei to get it through an audition the day after tomorrow. Many people in the United States do things like this, one code is the same, and I won't do it just because you have kung fu and music. Your talent will give you the role, unless the producer specifically requests it. If the same thing happened in China, it wouldn't be a big deal. As long as the director appreciates you, giving you a supporting role is a matter of one sentence.

The next day, Peter did not contact Zhang Wei, which allowed the three of them to go ahead with their travel plan. They had a good tour of the world of Hollywood and a taste of its style.

On the third day, Zhang Wei went to an interior shooting location of Universal Pictures in Hollywood early. This place is located on the east side of Hollywood. From the outside, this place looks like a Chinese warehouse. The park is filled with huge rectangular studios, each of which is more than 1 square meters in size. Arranged, it is divided into four areas a\b\c\d, and the buildings in each area are arranged from 10 to 1. Entering these studios, you will find that they are unique. Different areas correspond to different environments, and different numbers correspond to subtle differences in the environment. For example, the ten studios in Area D are natural forest areas, and No. 2 inside The shed is a simulated tropical rain forest, shed 3 is a virgin forest, shed is a temperate forest, and so on, divided into ten different forest environments in total.

The area where Zhang Wei and the others auditioned today was the b8 studio. This studio simulates the interior of a house. Many family sitcoms need to be filmed in such a studio. In China, "With Children" and in the United States, "Friends" are both filmed in this studio. Shot in such a studio, there are many cross-sections of houses and buildings used to shoot indoor scenes.

In addition to the important main actors, all supporting actors need to audition for this audition, and the auditions in Hollywood are different from those in China. The auditions in China are based on the importance of the role, and the difficulty of the audition is also different, while in Hollywood Everyone has the same standards for auditions. Emotions, lines, and body must all be tested. However, compared to actors with heavy roles, the audition requirements for dispensable supporting actors like Zhang Wei are not that high. They only need basic skills. It’s time to complete the audition content.

After all, Zhang Wei is an actor who has participated in film shootings. He has been continuously strengthening his studies in the past month or two, so an audition of this level is a piece of cake for him. He passed the audition smoothly and worked with "Plunder" has signed a supporting role deal.

Due to the schedule of the protagonist and some preparation details, the movie "Plunder the City" cannot start shooting until early August. So after Zhang Wei's audition is over, he can return to China and wait for the crew to start filming. But when he When he called Pete to say goodbye, Pete took Williams to the hotel where Zhang Wei was staying and sincerely tried to persuade him to stay, hoping that Zhang Wei could stay in the United States and develop because both of them valued Zhang Wei's talent.

"Hey, man, I think your development in China will be limited. With your talent, if you stay in Hollywood, I believe that within five years, you will become a hot martial arts instructor or music producer. I will give you your audition." I've seen it too, you might even become a rising star in Hollywood, why do you have to leave? This decision is really not smart." Pitt persuaded Zhang Wei endlessly in Zhang Wei's room.

Williams also supported: "Albert (the famous name given by Zhang Wei after coming to the United States), I don't understand acting and kung fu, but I swear by the music I love, if you are willing to stay in Hollywood and develop, I think with your music With your talent, you will definitely become a film music master alongside Horner and Lotta, so stay."

Faced with the two's attempts to stay, Zhang Wei said: "You two, I'm flattered that you appreciate me so much, but it's impossible for me to stay in Hollywood and develop, because my home is in China, and Chinese culture has made Chinese people feel attached to your home. I don’t understand, so it’s hard for you to understand how I feel. There is a saying in my hometown that ‘a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one’s own doghouse’, which explains the problem very well.”

Peter still refused to give up and said, "You shouldn't be so stubborn at your age. I'm just worried that your talent will be wiped out in China. Do you really not think about it anymore?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said: "No, there is a saying in our hometown, which is 'gold will shine wherever it is'."

"Well, it seems that we can't persuade you anymore. Man, you are really brave. There are not many actors in Hollywood who can refuse our invitation." Pete seemed a little unhappy, but this emotion would not affect him. Regarding the cooperation between them, after all, the two parties have only known each other for only two or three days. How deep can the friendship be in such a short period of time? The two of them were just purely appreciating Zhang Wei's talent, so they wanted to waste some words. However, since they saw that Zhang Wei had already made up his mind, they would not force it. There are many talented young people in Hollywood, and they have never seen one. Quite a few, and the two of them didn't want to force others into trouble.

The short four-day trip to the United States ended. On the fifth day, Zhang Wei and his party booked air tickets to return to China. Little did they know that domestic news about Zhang Wei had once again become a hot topic.

The cause of the matter is very simple. It is normal for Chinese singers to make cross-border movies, but not many make the leap to Hollywood like Zhang Wei. It is unprecedented for someone to receive an audition invitation from a well-known director like Peter Jackson. How could the news media not pay attention to Zhang Wei's movements? So after Zhang Wei flew to the United States, the news media had already begun to collect Zhang Wei's whereabouts, but because he was in a foreign country Because of the foreign country, some reporters could not go, and reporters based in the United States could not find specific information about Zhang Wei's hotel and audition.

However, with Zhang Wei's successful audition, when an American reporter interviewed Pitt, Pitt still revealed some information. This allowed Chinese reporters to learn about Zhang Wei's successful audition, and this guy Pitt was trying to hype "Plunder the City" "This upcoming movie also revealed that Zhang Wei will not only be a supporting actor, but will also serve as the film's action director and music producer, which caused a bit of an explosion in the media. Reporters who follow the film and television industry in the United States all year round are no strangers to action directors. The famous Yuan Qishu is very familiar to American entertainment reporters because of his classic fighting moves in movies such as "The Matrix" and "Kill" that he participated in the production of. It is also very influential in the United States, so American entertainment reporters don’t find it strange that Hollywood directors use Chinese action directors. What surprises them is that this Zhang Wei is just an unknown person. How can he be able to serve as a director? Action director for Pitt's new movie?

Pete also responded to this. He claimed that Zhang Wei may not be the best action instructor in China, but he has learned Zhang Wei's real kung fu. He is a master who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Bruce Lee. He has real kung fu, and The kung fu shown by Zhang Wei suits the needs of the movie "Plunder the City". While answering this question, Pitt also regretfully said that he had repeatedly invited Zhang Wei to stay in Hollywood, but Zhang Wei always refused because Zhang Wei is a family-loving guy and has nothing like an adult man. spirit.

Pitt's revelations are just a means of publicity. For American entertainment reporters, this is just a piece of news of some value. But once this information is known to the Chinese media, you can imagine the shock it will cause.

"Zhang Wei successfully auditioned and will soon join a major Hollywood production." This is a hotly searched news item. "Zhang Wei serves as action director for Peter Jackson's blockbuster film" is another hotly searched news item. "Pete Jackson claims that Zhang Wei has real skills and can rival Bruce Lee." This is simply the news that climbed to the top of the hot search list. "Zhang Wei rejected Peter Jackson's repeated invitations and insisted on returning to China for development." This is still a hotly searched news. In comparison, those reporters who like to take quotes out of context can use news points like "Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hult", said Zhang Wei has no manliness" to send Zhang Wei a hot search.

Zhang Wei didn't know that while he was reading a book on the plane, he had established his position as the top of this year's hot search list.
