Chapter 1770 1772 [Tolerance gets more and more angry for a while]
A few days later, Xiang Nan and Cai Yongchang went to the hotel to meet Heathrow—Wood Heathrow.
After arriving there, they were not arranged to see someone immediately, but waited in the next room for nearly two hours.
When Xiang Nan was about to fall asleep, the staff came over and took him to see Heathrow.
Xiang Nan washed his face, cheered himself up, and then walked over with the staff.
Wood Heathrow looked Xiang Nan up and down, asked him to turn around a few times, and asked noncommittally, "How do you speak English?"
"I speak English fluently." Xiang Nan replied in English, "I am an English major at Yenching University."
Heathrow nodded, then pointed to the coffee table in front of him and said, "How is your skill, can you kick this coffee table?"
Xiang Nan blinked, feeling that there was something wrong with this person.
It wasn't hard for him to kick the coffee table. The point is why is he kicking this coffee table? !
Tobey Maguire auditioned for Spider-Man, would he be asked to spit spider silk; Benedict auditioned for Doctor Strange, would he be asked to perform a magic trick first...
Why did he have to perform the act of hacking a coffee table when he auditioned for the role of Kung Fu Kid? There is no such reason.
He is playing a kung fu boy, which does not mean that he must know kung fu, let alone that he can kick a coffee table.
In the final analysis, Heathrow didn't respect him and deliberately made him difficult.
"My kung fu is average..." Xiang Nan said immediately, he didn't want to audition anymore.
With his ability, he can live a rich and comfortable life, and he doesn't deserve to be played around here.
"His kung fu is very good, and it is absolutely no problem to kick the coffee table." Cai Yongchang immediately opened his mouth when Xiang Nan spoke halfway.
He also knew that Heathrow was deliberately making things difficult. To make a kung fu movie, you don't have to have practiced kung fu.
The majestic martial arts queen Zheng Peipei, the best chivalrous female spokesperson Xu Feng, and even Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Jackie Chan and others are not from martial arts background, but this does not prevent them from making wonderful and beautiful martial arts movies and kung fu movies.
Heathloti's request is simply unreasonable, it's just a joke.
But the situation is stronger than people. Cai Yongchang still hopes that Xiang Nan can be patient, after all, this is related to his personal future and Jiahe's grand plan.
"Ning Wei, just be patient. If you quit now, it won't do him any harm. On the contrary, it's following his wish. He wished you didn't act." Cai Yongchang persuaded, "On the contrary, if you use this movie to become popular If so, then you will be a big star. At that time, he will ask you in turn."
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Cai Yongchang is right. Going now is following his wish. On the contrary, I want to stay and become popular with "Longwei Boy".
When the time comes to make a sequel, let him see if he doesn’t repair this Heathrow severely, and let him know what Feng Shui turns, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi.
…
Thinking of this, Xiang Nan stepped forward, looked at Heathrow and said with a smile, "If you want to see my kung fu, then I will demonstrate it to you. In fact, it is not difficult to break the coffee table. Now I will show you. How to break it by hand."
As he spoke, he slapped it down with a palm.
There was a loud bang, and he punched a hole in the middle of the coffee table, surrounded by cobweb-like cracks.
Heathrow was taken aback. Then he looked at the coffee table in front of him in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.
This coffee table is IKEA's solid wood series, and the board is made of pine wood with a thickness of two centimeters. It is really unimaginable that such a material, such a thickness, could be snapped off with a single palm.
"Mr. Heathrow, Ning's kung fu is definitely the best, even better than Bruce Lee. You can't go wrong with him." Cai Yongchang said aside.
"I will consider it." Heathrow nodded and said, "Okay, you can go back."
Xiang Nan blinked.
They walked on the road for two days and stayed in the United States for more than a week. However, the audition took only two minutes, and they were sent away. It was really not serious.
At any rate, he is also a screenwriter and a candidate for the leading actor. Shouldn't we talk to him about character design, story arrangement, scene scheduling, etc.?
However, Cai Yongchang knew that this is the kind of treatment that Xiangjiang artists come to Hollywood to make a living.
When Golden Harvest and Warner collaborated on "Enter the Dragon", Bruce Lee was called around in the same way, without any preferential treatment from a kung fu superstar.
So Bruce Lee also broke up with Warner after that, and took advantage of the large number of Chinese and Hong Kong people in the crew to evade the producer and director.
"Made, one day, I will have those Hollywood filmmakers come to ask me to cooperate." Xiang Nan said fragrantly.
"Okay, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry." Cai Yongchang smiled and comforted, "I hope you will take this movie, and then it will be a hit and prove your strength. At that time, it will You can’t even think about it.”
Xiang Nan nodded.
This trip to Hollywood was a lesson for him.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It is really timeless no matter when and where.
…
Xiang Nan then returned to Xiangjiang with Cai Yongchang to wait for the news.
At the same time, "Scary People" starring Jackie Chan has been completed and officially released.
The plot of "Scary Man" is more terrifying and bizarre, the fighting is more exciting, and the jokes are more and fuller. Therefore, after its release, the box office results are even better than "Ghost Fighting Ghost".
The final box office received nearly 6 million box office, which is quite a good result.
Xiang Nan originally wanted to make persistent efforts and ask Jackie Chan to make a film "Man Scares Ghosts".
However, Luo Wei has seen Jackie Chan's box office appeal at this time, and he is unwilling to borrow any more. He recruited Jackie Chan back, and arranged for him a new film - "Ghost Horse Tianshi Recruits Ghosts", which is a follow-up film just by looking at the name.
Jackie Chan doesn't want to go back. He ate, drank and entertained in Real Kung Fu Films, and all the films he made were box office hits. Now I'm going back to Luo Wei's place to make bad movies again, I don't know when it will be the boss.
"It's okay, when your contract with him expires, you come to my place, and I will definitely want you." Xiang Nan comforted him.
Jackie Chan nodded. At this point, he had no choice but to go back.
After all, with his ability, he is not good against Luo Wei. No matter how poor Luo Wei is now, there are still three thousand nails in the rotten ship.
…
Xiang Nan's guest-starred "Snake, Cat and Crane Mixed Palm" has also been released at this time.
What surprised Xiang Nan was that even though he only filmed for four days, there were not many scenes.
But under Zhu Mu's editing, he even has more roles than the protagonist, and this movie is still tagged with [starring Ning Wei], so that it attracted a large number of fans who don't know the truth to watch.
In the end, relying on Xiang Nan's name, the movie won nearly 2 million box office, which is quite good. It's just that Xiang Nan doesn't agree with Zhu Mu's actions.
Obviously promised to be a guest star, but turned out to be the lead star, who can bear this? !
