Senior Superstar

Los Angeles Airport.

Accompanied by Zhang Shuo, Li Shixin boarded the commercial vehicle that Huaqi \u0026 Woods Film and Television Company specially came to pick up the airport.

Although he lived two lifetimes, it was the first time for Li Shixin to set foot in the United States. Looking at the bustling crowds, bustling streets and cities outside the car window, he was really in a daze for a while.

The person in charge of receiving Li Shixin and Zhang Shuo was a professional broker named Zhou Yi from Huaqi \u0026 Woods Company.

After being acquired by Huaqi, the company had just completed its reorganization. In order to contact Li Shixin's career development in the United States, he specially hired such a Chinese as Li Shixin's full-time manager.

The little girl is not very old, only twenty-four years old.

Both parents are from Macau, and they immigrated to the United States with the family when they were in college.

"I'm sorry Lei Laoshi, I'm not very good at Mandarin, if you don't understand something, I should ask me a few more times."

Driving the car, looking at Li Shixin from the rearview mirror, the little girl smiled embarrassedly.

Li Shixin smiled when he heard the little girl's mouthful of Macau Guangpu.

He can understand Cantonese, but as a northerner, it's too awkward to communicate like this all the time.

Turning his eyes away from the street view outside the car window, Li Shixin looked at Zhou Yi's eyes in the rearview mirror, and patted the front seat.

"Then you have to change it. With your Mandarin level, if you serve as an interpreter for me in the future, there may be a lot of inconvenience."

"Ah, but Xihou in Macau seldom went to the mainland. Cooking winter melon has never had that context."

"It's okay, am I here?"

Seeing Zhou Yi's embarrassing expression, Li Shixin chuckled.

Can't speak Mandarin?

This is not easy?

"Come on, straighten your tongue, let's learn from the simplest."

"hold head high"

"Come, come, talk with me."

"ah"

"Hmm! What the hell!"

"Forehead"

During Li Shixin's Putonghua teaching, the Chevrolet business car sped all the way, heading towards Hollywood.

After two hours.

"Ms. Li, this Gada belongs to Hollywood. Take a good look at it. Compared with the domestic department, is there a boss here?"

Standing on Hollywood's most prosperous Avenue of Stars, Li Shixin put his hands behind his back.

Hearing Zhou Yi's awkward accent after intensive training, he chuckled.

To say that Hollywood is different is indeed a lot more prosperous. There are many luxury stores everywhere, foreign tourists and people of different skin colors can be seen everywhere. It seems that the city is busy and trendy.

But if it is very different, in fact, in Li Shixin's opinion, it is the same.

Li Shixin spent most of his time in China in Rongdian, which is actually a place similar to Hollywood. They all rely on the film industry to exist in such a place.

After following Zhou Yi around a few scenic spots along the way, Li Shixin lost interest in visiting.

In Li Shixin's view, prosperity and everything are appearances. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than an international Rong shop.

What he cares about is not whether the city is prosperous or not, but whether the city can bring him opportunities.

In order to facilitate Li Shixin's development here, Huaqi specially rented an apartment for Li Shixin near Huaqi \u0026 Woodz Company.

The apartment is not big, just over 80 square meters. But in the center of Hollywood, where land is at a premium, an apartment of this class is not bad.

After settling down with Zhang Shuo, they had another lunch under the leadership of Zhou Yi. In the afternoon, Li Shixin came to Woodz Company to communicate about the audition.

Normally, the audition process in Hollywood is very cumbersome. The method of selecting actors here is different from that in China. Because of the existence of the actors' union, it is not like the domestic model of group actors standing in the square and waiting for the crew to come and select people.

Generally speaking, the roles of the eight classics are directly distributed by each crew to the various brokerage platforms that the actor union cooperates with, and then the agent or manager, that is, professional brokers and brokerage companies, arranges for their artists to audition.

Although Li Shixin is not a registered member of the labor union, as the first artist promoted after Huaqi took over Woods and completed the actual holding, he naturally does not need to go through those cumbersome procedures.

After connecting with the person in charge of Huaqi, Zhou Yi took two audition invitations and brought Li Shixin to her own office.

"Ms. Li, here are two audition invitations, you should take a look first. This one is the new Marvel film "Doctor Strange II" directed by Alan Wicks. They want to add an Asian face to the script , to open up Asia, especially the Chinese box office market. So there is a role audition. This one is the suspense film "Falsehood" directed by David Enke. The setting is a wise Japanese writer of mystery novels, which is more suitable for you."

Looking at the two audition forms in front of him, Li Shixin frowned.

Is it plausible that a good-looking Chinese who is not lacking in arms and morals will come to Hollywood to develop and play a ghost writer?

Without any hesitation, he directly put aside the second audition form, which seemed to have a lot of drama, and watched the first audition request for "Strange II".

As outlined on the form, there are no special requirements for roles. But judging from the content of the overview, the drama will definitely not be too heavy. The meaning of the existence of the character is basically to play a role in the opening or ending of the film, showing the face of no more than two minutes or four shots, and playing the role of setting off the atmosphere.

Just like in his previous life, Fan Bingbing participated in the filming of "X-Men", appeared for a while at the beginning of the credits, and then got a box lunch and was killed by the villain-it was completely done by the producer to show favor to the target market. such a role.

"That's it. When's the audition? What do I need to prepare?"

Seeing that Li Shixin chose the first audition without any hesitation, Zhou Yi frowned.

"Ms. Li, can you think about it? The audition for "Strange II" will definitely not get as many roles as "Falsehood."

Facing the reminder, Li Shixin smiled and nodded.

"Putting the general out of the box, it's the first role in Hollywood, and it's a familiar face in Marvel. I think it's not bad."

Seeing Li Shixin's firm attitude, Zhou Yi shrugged.

"Then I'll take you with me tomorrow morning. You don't need to make any special preparations. The Gada audition in Hollywood is very systematic. It's not a one-time or two-time thing. For example, I told you that there will be a round of auditions on Saturday, and it may be on Wednesday. I will give you four or five pages of paper for you to prepare. But maybe on Friday, a producer will send you a new one, which is completely different from what was sent on Wednesday. If you prepare carefully, it will be in vain. .”

No need to prepare?

Li Shixin frowned.

"Then how can I pass this audition?"

"Of course it's the agency's strength, and the director's likes and dislikes!"

Seeing Zhou Yi waving her palm and breaking the rules of Hollywood, Li Shixin nodded deeply.

Well, sure.

It's no different from Rongdian.
