Chapter 173 That’s great!

Looking at the "young-wang" displayed on the phone screen, Rachel's eyebrows moved. She stood up from the sofa and walked to the balcony while connecting the phone, smiling and said, "Hi, Yang?"

"Hi, Rachel!" Wang Yang smiled and said hello, stroked Danny who refused to walk away, and asked to his phone: "Good evening, didn't disturb you, right?" Hearing Rachel say nothing, he went straight to the topic and said: "That's right, you know I already have a plan for a new movie called "mit-21-team". There is a character in it that suits you very well, one of the three protagonists, so I want to ask if you are interested in auditioning?"

As he said that, some Rachel with different temperaments flashed in his mind. She can change a lot on the big screen, suitable for playing the evil and bad girl on campus, and also suitable for playing the sweet and kind girl; can play the crazy vulgar woman, and can play the elegant and intellectual beauty; and the clever and cunning image in "Detective Sherlock Holmes", which is very suitable for the talented female detective.

Of course, Zoe Descher, who has an elf temperament, and Anne Hathaway who is elegant and scholarly, is also very good, but he tends to be the cunning Rachel because he misses "The Legend of the Ghost".

"Oh!" Rachel responded softly, without any surprise.

If the other dream-seeking girls received this invitation now, they would have been so happy that they would have fainted. What does the heroine of Fanqi Yang's movie represent? There are so many. Anyway, Fanqi Yang has created one Hollywood star after another, a popular youth idol in the United States, and even Natalie, who has long been famous, has become more popular.

These girls are now the main players of the younger generation of Hollywood female stars. They have extremely high popularity among movie fans and naturally have extremely high commercial value among film companies. There is no shortage of film contracts, and others are rushing to invite them to film. In addition to the heroines, some big supporting roles are the same. After the obscure Anne Darren also received a new big supporting role film contract after performing "Sweetheart", and her acting career embarked on a bright road.

"What role?" Rachel's tone was very calm, but it seemed a bit abnormal. Even if an ordinary director gave an invitation, as an actor would smile and say thank you. She seemed to realize this, looked at the prosperous and dazzling night street scene outside, and laughed, "What role?"

"Well, a smart, stubborn and calm genius female detective." Wang Yang casually flipped the script and briefly told some situations: "This is a real story. Her name is Bevli Gliffen. She is a relatively old and I have changed it to a younger place. She is a detective hired by the Las Vegas Casino, who is specifically here to deal with a group of genius gamblers, namely the mit Black Jack group..."

After listening to his rough introduction, Rachel was full of interest. Where did he find this cool and fun story? Although it is not the cooler mittress leading the team, the female detective is also full of charm... But she turned around and leaned against the railing, looked up at the night sky, and smiled and said, "Yang, Bevli Greyfin is very interesting and challenging. I like it very much. But can I think about it?"

"Of course, as you wish!" Wang Yang nodded and rubbed Danny's neck hard, and asked, "Where are you now, Toronto? Or Los Angeles, New York?" Rachel said over there, "Now in Los Angeles, the balcony of the hotel, I'll participate in a charity and charity event." Wang Yang said, thinking of his own activities, and said, "There are also many activities that invite me, and there are charity businesses, but I'm busy like a top all day, just walking around..."

He doesn't care about commercial activities, and refuses to leave without thinking. If it's for money, wasting time on commercial activities is just the stupidest; and for public welfare activities, he will try his best to participate in organizing with himself occasionally, such as a meeting with a child fan a few days ago and had a lot of fun. But he has been busy these days because he wants to ensure that the schedules are not conflicting during the filming period, he must first finalize the candidate for the starring of "mit-21-team".

Then we will start the post-production work of "Hangover". There are only three months left before Christmas and only two months before entering the promotional stage of the event interview. The time is not easier than "Zone 9". At the same time, we also need to supervise the production of "Prison Break". "mit-21-team" will not start filming until the beginning of next year. Fortunately, there is no need to wait for Natalie to take a vacation this time. She said, "I am already familiar with college life, it doesn't matter how many days I have to go away; and my academic performance is not a problem. Is skipping classes done by bad girls? I like it the most."

Thinking of this, Wang Yang added with a smile: "Rachel, the movie will start at the beginning of next year, how about it?" Rachel suddenly laughed crisply and said, "Director, you are really impatient." Wang Yang grabbed Danny's ear and stirred it up funly. Hearing this, he immediately laughed and said, "No, no, I'm not. Have you ever thought that if I were impatient, you would have been scolded by me on the set, and you would have cried."

"Wow, it's even more terrifying than shrimp insects!" Rachel's face showed two sweet dimples, kicking her feet gently, and said proudly: "But why? My performance is so good." Wang Yang's serious voice came from the phone: "McAdams, I need to remind you that it is because I, a director, do well. If I were impatient, I wouldn't do well, and then you wouldn't do well without my guidance, so you would be scolded."

"I understand, it seems that this is indeed the logic." Rachel laughed softly, and suddenly made a decision in her heart. She missed the "young set". She used to spend "Singing and Dance" in "Youth", but now she won't. She smiled at her phone and said, "Yang, I will attend Bevli's audition."

Wang Yang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Um? Have you considered it so soon?" Her cheerful laughter came from her phone: "I'm impatient!" Wang Yang happily slapped Danny's head and laughed: "Very good!" In fact, her audition can be said to be just a formality. This is not the first time she has worked together. He knows very well what kind of temperament she has, and Rachel has also made rapid progress in acting. Although she is not as talented as Natalie, she is not a Muggle.

"Then what's the specific story? Well, I'm going to play against Natalie Portman! It's exciting!" Rachel narrowed her eyes, and she really felt excited. Playing against someone with superb acting skills was like a boxer meeting a boxer, and... she looked at the brightly lit high-rise building in the distance and said jokingly: "I've heard enough of Young + Natalie. The combination of Young + Rachel is not bad, right? We scared so many people at that time, but now everyone only talks about Juno."

"Annie, you may not necessarily get this role." Hearing Wang Yang's joking "reminder" over there, Rachel smiled and frowned, and smiled helplessly. The dimples on both sides were very deep, and she smiled: "Okay! Yang, you are always so mean, so now I'm going to have a role? Well, obey the order, Mr. Magic!" Both of them laughed.

After chatting for a while, they finished the call. Rachel's hand holding the phone dropped and took a breath. Did the female detective audition? She looked at the stars in the night sky and slowly became enchanted.

"Wait! I'm here to participate in your movie interview. Can I still have an interview now?", "In principle, it's OK."...

"What!? Shenqiyang invited me to participate in the male lead audition?" On the sofa in the living room, Daniel Wu opened his mouth with surprise, unable to believe the news that the agent on the other end of the phone said, and asked: "Are you talking about that young-wang? Shenqiyang? Oh my god, I understand..." He clamped the microphone with his neck crookedly, picked up a paper and pen to record Shenqiyang's contact number.

Shenqiyang, 22 years old, the largest Chinese director, the most amazing director of Hollywood, the boss of the newcomer of Flame Movie in an independent film company... He is the pride of all Chinese in the United States, the pride of Asians, and is also very popular in white society. Although he is not seen in Hong Kong, he is also a famous idol. Many celebrities in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are not as popular as him.

During the last World Cup, Wang Yang went to Hong Kong, which made the whole Hong Kong excited. It was rumored that Jackie Chan couldn't invite him to dinner many times, so there were some criticisms in the circle, saying that this Hollywood director was arrogant and had no one, full of style, and looked down on Hong Kong movies. However, Daniel Wu did not agree with these voices. Everyone has their own favorite lifestyle and had the right to go there like that. You can't say that others are arrogant just because others like to be quiet.

When he was in his teens and twenties, he liked complicated play, enthusiastic and lively; but now at the age of 28, he has found that he has gradually become aspiring to a quiet, ordinary and simple life. He no longer likes noisy parties and socializing, and just wants to live a happy ordinary life with his girlfriend Lisa and good friends.

He has seen some interviews by Wang Yang, and the magic director said: "Actually, I am not as 'sunny' as everyone thinks. The days when I first started studying in USBC were crazy. You can imagine that I did everything except drugs. So I had a bad reputation at the school. I think this is also a reason why they didn't believe me later. But I quickly got tired of it. I realized that such a life was not what I wanted, so I said to it, 'By bye, never see you again!'"

He understood what Shen Qiyang said very well, which is similar to the "enlightenment" in Buddhism. Shen Qiyang is matured early, which is normal for an unprecedented great director. Anyway, he has a great impression and respect for this Chinese-born and proud magic director Wang Yang. He also likes to watch Shen Qiyang's movies. If "The Ninth District" can help science fiction films return to the Oscars, it would be so cool.

But what movie does Shenqi Yang ask him to audition for? Daniel Wu frowned his rough eyebrows, and his first reaction was a kung fu movie. Then he couldn't think of anything else. What image does the Chinese male protagonist have in Hollywood? Shenqi Yang is also said to be a martial arts person who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. But he doesn't want to be a kung fu movie. He doesn't want to become an action star who can only shoot kung fu movies. This is also the reason why he doesn't take kung fu movies in Hong Kong. This is a deliberate avoidance.

But the male protagonist of Fanqi Yang's movie? Daniel Wu took a deep breath and watched the number on the paper dial, his heart beat a little faster. This was definitely an exciting and irresistible invitation. He also longed to act in a Hollywood blockbuster! He just watched this grow up. But he would never take on any messy Chinese-American screen image; but this was Fanqi Yang, and he thought he didn't need to worry about it.

"Hello, Mr. Wang? I am Daniel Wu." As soon as the phone was answered, Daniel Wu took the initiative to greet him, and then he heard Wang Yang's warm voice over there: "You are Daniel? Hey guy! Hey guy!" He said in a broken Cantonese smile again: "Long long, long time! We children in the world, don't be polite!" Daniel Wu laughed and said in impure Cantonese: "No problem, Yang, are you asking me to audition?"

Wang Yang really didn't expect that Caa's agent was so efficient, but Daniel Wu is a Caa contract artist. I think it was just a few phone calls. He picked up the remote control and turned the volume down the TV, and smiled in English, "Well, yes, how are you interested?" Hearing Daniel Wu ask if it was a kung fu movie, he shook his head and smiled, "It's not a kung fu movie, I won't make a live-action kung fu movie for the time being."

He doesn't want to shoot kung fu martial arts films, so it's not that he doesn't love kung fu or has no idea about martial arts scenes. It's just that he doesn't want to be stereotyped as a kung fu movie director. Maybe this idea is strange, but he feels that he can't make a special kung fu movie.

"This is a high IQ crime movie, there is no crime, do you know Jeff Ma? He is the prototype of the male protagonist, a college student at MIT, smart, smart, smart, social Chinese, very proud and competitive, full of challenge for everything, cynical, and likes to use legal means to break the rules and make those who are arrogant unlucky; cunning, cool..."

Listening to these character descriptions, Daniel Wu's interest and confidence increased rapidly. He thought he was a social Chinese. He founded the Chinese Martial Arts Society in college. Does it count? And he knew very well what cynical people are like, because he was such a person after years of his youth, cynical, selfish, rebellious, and sarcastic... As for high IQ and coolness? This can be performed.

He looked energetic and was very confident that he could take over this Chinese character. After Wang Yang finished speaking, he smiled happily and said, "Then I can audition at any time, I am in San Francisco now." The flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles only takes more than an hour to fly.

"That's great!" Wang Yang was also very happy. He solved the candidate earlier, and he edited "Hangover" earlier, and... he clenched his fists and waved his lips and smiled, "That--so-good--haha! Brother, I'm waiting for you!"

Until the conversation ended after a while, Daniel Wu felt a little confused. Why did Shenqi Yang's laughter seem a little weird? He smiled incomprehensible and immediately called his girlfriend excitedly, widened his eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Lisa, my God, let me tell you something unbelievable! Shenqi Yang asked me to audition for the movie, the male lead! Well, it's Wang Yang!"

Lisa over there was also excited for him: "Daniel, baby, congratulations! Wow, you must seize this opportunity! Oh, just don't do your best, I support you..."

The two of them said excitedly for a while before slowly calming down. Daniel Wu suddenly remembered a question that he forgot to ask Shenqiyang just now and asked: "By the way, do you know who Jeff Ma is? The original character I auditioned for is him."

"Jeff-Ma? He is!" Lisa felt a light of inspiration flashing in her mind, but she was about to say it but was stuck. She thought, "Well, I have some impression, it seems... my father said it." Her father is the president of the Caesar Palace Hotel in Casino. At the beginning of the year, Shenqiyang was filming "The Hangover" there. She wanted to ask for an autograph, but she was busy with the work of Hong Kong models and did not finish her career.

"I'll check it online." Daniel Wu stood up and walked over, laughing and said, "It's so exciting. It's not a kung fu movie, it's really incredible..."

The audition location was arranged in the audition room of the Flame Film headquarters. Jeff Ma and Bevli Greeffen's single auditions will be held today, but Rachel has not arrived yet.

At this time, in the spacious and bright audition room, Wang Yang was wearing a T-shirt and loose mid-trousers, and Daniel Wu, in a shirt and jeans, sat on the comfortable sofa, laughing and talking to each other. Joshua stood behind the sofa, punching Wang Yang's shoulders with both hands like a servant.

He has been hired as a producer assistant for "mit-21-team". After the last time he worked as an assistant in "Hangover", he officially followed Yang to learn how to be a producer. Naturally, he had to start with a little assistant who poured tea and handed water. He would learn all the auditions and other work.

Joshua pounded these two broad shoulders hard. He was 20 years old and it was time to do things seriously. But he felt that his talent for actors was indeed a bit lacking, so he shifted his goal and changed from winning the Oscar to the Oscar for Best Actor, which seemed cooler! He didn't want to start a real estate business with his father. He would chat with customers all day long with some houses.

And there is no suitable position in Flame Movie; he wanted to be a director, but obviously he was not "magical Joshua", so he could only take it slowly like this. His goal is to completely remove the annoying word "assistant" at the age of 25, or 26 or 27...

"Joshua, I don't need it." Wang Yang turned around and glanced at Joshua, then looked at Daniel Wu, continued to talk about martial arts when he was a child, and smiled: "When you first wanted to learn kung fu, it seemed that I was not born yet, right?"

Daniel Wu spread his hands, recalling the mood more than 20 years ago, sat up straight, and smiled and said, "I was 6 years old at that time. My grandfather took me to Chinatown to watch "Shaolin Temple". You know Jet Li's first movie. My grandfather told me, 'Azu, this is the real Chinese Kung Fu!' Wow!" He sighed and said, "So amazing! I was shocked all of a sudden, and I felt that 'I am Chinese, I should learn Kung Fu!'"

"What a familiar scene!" Wang Yang excitedly punched his hands, and a few loud shouts suddenly sounded in the air. He laughed and said, "I am 6 years old, but I am not watching the big screen. That day, my grandfather took me to meet Old Man Wu. He was the chef of my restaurant in the past and a partner. Since I was a child, I thought he was just an ordinary old man. Who knew... Wow, he could punch so hard at such a young age. What is it, Chinese Kung Fu?! He looked very powerful, so I said I want to learn, I want to learn!"

"Then you learn from Master Wu?" Daniel Wu had an envious expression, and he was really envious. How eager he was to learn kung fu at that time! But... he shook his head and said, "I decided to practice martial arts after watching that movie, but my mother didn't let her. She was afraid that I would fight and fight hard after learning kung fu, so she wouldn't let me learn." He shrugged with a frown and said, "Later, I was 11 years old and officially became a disciple of the Northern School Changquan."

"Um, the Northern School Changquan..." Wang Yang's eyes lit up and down, looking up at Daniel Wu's strong figure, with a hungry light in his black eyes, and his strong Northern School Changquan, his 17-year martial arts foundation, and his height and weight of the same level... Thinking of his idea, he couldn't help laughing: "My mother also has this worry. I didn't disappoint her. Since I learned kung fu, I have indeed started fighting."

Joshua continued to beat his hard and strong shoulders, and said in confusion: "I want to ask why there is no Mexican Kung Fu? If my grandfather had said to me 'Ask for a book, this is a kung Fu'." He said in a rough voice, and then said: "Then I will learn and I can beat those bitches to death." Wang Yang patted the hand on his shoulder and smiled: "Hey, brother, everything is over, you are safe."

Amid the laughter of the three of them, Wang Yang asked with interest: "Daniel, do you still practice boxing?" Daniel Wu nodded, made a starting position of punching, and said: "Even if I can't even take time to breathe, I will take time to do boxing. You must understand that this has become a habit. If you don't practice for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over." He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "And my figure is maintained by practicing boxing."

"I understand 100%." ​​Wang Yang leaned against the sofa and wrapped his hands around his chest, slightly raised the corners of his mouth. In addition to not practicing boxing, he also felt uncomfortable not fighting... Today he was wearing loose pants just to facilitate the discussion. He asked seriously: "Do you have practical skills? Or is it just a martial arts performance?" After all, some long fists only practice modified performance routines. In that case, even if you practice for 17 years, you will only be better than ordinary people and will not be able to fight.

"No, I think I have practical skills." Daniel Wu's front teeth bit his lower lip slightly, and nodded with a bit of evil smile. He didn't only know how to perform martial arts! He actually felt a little strange in his heart. This is not a kung fu movie. Why is Shenqiyang so interested in his kung fu? But he vaguely felt Shenqiyang's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little excited, saying, "I'm like you, I grew up fighting since I was a child, beating those bitches who call us chink and racist. I also practice mantis boxing, drunk boxing, Taekwondo, boxing..."

When he was working as a bar security guard at university, his other colleagues were big men who played rugby with more than 90 kilograms, but the one customers didn't dare to mess with was him. The consequences of being provoked were to lie on the ground, and he defeated three big men at the same time at most at one time.
Chapter completed!
