From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 55

This is an anti-theft badge.

I hope everyone supports the original version.

"I don't know if you're interested in acting in a movie.

I have a role here that I think suits you very well.

If you join, I believe the movie will be even more perfect. "Peter Jackson took a sip of coffee.

He asked Xie Yi straightforwardly.

When he heard Peter Jackson's words,

Xie Yi, who already knew that the people here were more direct, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He looked at Peter Jackson in surprise.

Was he really that lucky today?

Not only did he meet the director of "The Lord of the Rings", but he also invited him to act in "The Lord of the Rings".

Peter Jackson didn't know that Xie Yi already knew that he was the director of "The Lord of the Rings".

Seeing Xie Yi's surprise, Peter Jackson explained to Xie Yi, "I'm a director.

When I first saw you, I felt that you'd be very suitable for a role in my new movie.

And we're neighbors. This is too much of a coincidence. Maybe this is God's arrangement! "

"I don't know if you've read the book" The Lord of the Rings "?" Peter Jackson paused and asked.

"It's a great work. I like it very much." Xie Yi knew what Peter Jackson meant.

Naturally, he followed his words and replied.

I just don't know which role he wants me to play.

Xie Yi lowered his eyes and thought to himself.

"That's great!" Peter Jackson heard Xie Yi's words and said with a look of surprise.

In his opinion, no one who liked "The Lord of the Rings" would be indifferent when they heard this news.

After all, for a fan of "The Lord of the Rings", being able to act in "The Lord of the Rings" was definitely a very lucky thing.

"Legolas.

If you're willing and your acting isn't too bad, this role is yours. "Peter Jackson looked at Xie Yi and said.

If the first time he saw Xie Yi, he was stunned.

After interacting with him for a while, Peter Jackson really wanted Xie Yi to play the role of Legolas.

It could be said that...

Just as he had said,

As long as Xie Yi's acting wasn't too bad, his looks could definitely cover up any of his shortcomings.

"Thank you, it's definitely my honor to participate in such a big production, I'm very willing." Hearing what he wanted to hear, Xie Yi replied with a smile.

He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but he was also very happy.

Seeing Xie Yi's smile, Peter Jackson was stunned for a moment. This smile was really breathtaking.

Previously, when Xie Yi didn't smile, it was already very stunning. If this sincere smile was added, he believed that there was really no one in the world who could resist Xie Yi's smile.

But the more stunning Xie Yi was, the happier he was. After all, no matter what, they were on the same boat. He believed that this was definitely a good thing for "The Lord of the Rings".

"Believe me, you won't regret it!" Peter Jackson got the result he wanted and smiled with satisfaction.

"However, tomorrow is the audition for" The Lord of the Rings ". Although I favor you to play the role of Legolas, after all, this audition has been decided before. It's not good to cancel it at the last minute, so I still hope that you can participate in the audition for" The Lord of the Rings ".

And I have to say in advance, if your acting is really bad, then even if I like you to play this role, I won't risk my movie. "

"Of course, you don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't talk in front of the camera, or if you're nervous to the point that it's unbearable, then this role will most likely be yours. After all, in my heart, your appearance is the most suitable person for Legolas." Peter Jackson promised.

"Thank you director, I will prepare well." Xie Yi replied seriously.

Before he met Peter Jackson, he was confident that he could participate in the audition. Now that he had the director's approval, although it was only his image, if he could mess up this audition under such circumstances, then he shouldn't waste his time and energy on this.

"You can call me Peter." Hearing Xie Yi call him director, Peter Jackson said with a smile.

"By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name?" Peter Jackson suddenly thought.

He was so excited just now that he didn't even know the other person's name and wanted to invite him to act in his movie. That was really rude.

"Alan Rodriguez, you can call me Allen."

Xie Yi said his name in this life. As for Xie Yi, he was afraid that only he would know this name.

The next day, Xie Yi arrived at New Line Film Company on time for the audition.

The main actors for "The Lord of the Rings" had already been confirmed in advance, such as Ilha Wood, who played the male lead, The Hobbit, Ian McClane, who played Gandalf, and Viggo Mortensen, who played Aragon.

Today's audition at New Line was mainly for the supporting roles and some small roles that didn't have many scenes.

After all, "The Lord of the Rings" was going to be three movies in a row, and the number of actors needed would be more than expected.

When Xie Yi arrived at New Line Film Company, it was 9: 40, 20 minutes before the audition began.

But even so, the venue was already full of people who came for the audition.

This time, "The Lord of the Rings" audition was open to all actors in Hollywood. There were more than a dozen roles to audition today, which was a good opportunity for the newcomers in Hollywood. Even for the actors who already had a lot of fame, being able to act in a big production like "The Lord of the Rings" could be considered a good qualification. Successfully acting in "The Lord of the Rings" would definitely increase the success rate of the next audition.

The total investment for "The Lord of the Rings" was nearly 300 million USD. Even if it was divided into three movies, it could still be considered a big production.

However, although it was a lot of money, "The Lord of the Rings" was a fantasy film. Most of the nearly 300 million USD would probably be spent on special effects.

This was also the reason why Peter chose so many new actors in the film. After all, there was only so much investment. If he didn't want to save money on the film's special effects, he could only save money on the actors' salaries. And new actors who were struggling to find opportunities and had low salaries were undoubtedly suitable. This was also the reason why today's audition site was in an uproar.

However, all of this went silent for a moment after Xie Yi came in. This person must be a very strong opponent. Everyone present at the audition had the same thought in their minds.

Hollywood had always been a place where handsome men and beautiful women gathered. Perhaps there were more handsome men and beautiful women in the world than in Hollywood.

After all, as the world's largest film and television base, Hollywood was the place that all stars yearned for the most. Perhaps you could casually meet a world-famous Hollywood superstar on the streets.

And to be able to enter the vanity fair of Hollywood, other than those clowns, appearance was definitely the first choice for an actor or star.

It could even be said that in Hollywood, you could have no acting skills, but you couldn't not have a good appearance.

If you don't have any acting skills, you can still rely on your appearance to win. But if you don't have a face that makes people feel good about you, then entering this circle is definitely harder than ascending to the heavens.

Therefore, the people present only saw Xie Yi once and concluded that Xie Yi was definitely a strong opponent for this audition.

Some people even secretly complained that Xie Yi was so good-looking, why didn't he act in those teen idol movies?

However, no matter how much the people present complained about Xie Yi, their most unified thought at this moment was, "Please don't audition for the role I'm auditioning for!"

Xie Yi didn't know what the others thought after seeing him. After he entered the audition hall, although he was shocked by the dense crowd in front of him, he quickly calmed down.

Xie Yi calmly walked through the crowd and arrived at the audition team for Legolas.

Compared to other auditions for other roles, there were very few people in this audition team. Even including Xie Yi, who had just arrived, there were only five people in the audition team.

However, the five people in Xie Yi's team were already better than the others in terms of appearance.

Although the others had already guessed that Xie Yi might be here to audition for the role of The Elven Prince Legolas, no one knew the result until the end.

Seeing Xie Yi walk to the audition place for Legolas, they couldn't help but sigh in relief. Fortunately, he wasn't auditioning for the same role as them.

As for the four people sitting with Xie Yi who were also auditioning for the role of The Elven Prince, they could only pray for their own good fortune.

Although the moment Xie Yi walked in, they vaguely felt that this exceptionally handsome person with a cold temperament was very likely to be their competitor, when he actually stopped in front of the audition place, the four people who were auditioning for The Elven Prince felt their hearts skip a beat.

They really didn't want to stand next to someone with such a heaven-defying appearance!

Especially when they felt the gloating and sympathetic gazes around them, they felt even more depressed.

They could only secretly pray that Xie Yi was just a vase with bad acting skills. Only then could they feel better. After all, he was already so good-looking. If he also had acting skills, how could they live?

"Peter, didn't you say that you found the most suitable person to play Legolas?

I really want to see what kind of person you found the most suitable person for this role. After all, everyone knows how picky you are about this role! "A man beside Peter teased.

However, he was still very curious about the person who could make a picky person like Peter Jackson so satisfied.

"Yes, Peter. I'm sure there won't be any mistakes in this scene." Xie Yi looked at Peter Jackson in front of him and said.

He had already memorized everything that Ian had taught him about positioning. There definitely wouldn't be any mistakes because of positioning.

"That's good. Oh right, this is your mount in the movie. How is it?

Not bad, right? "

As Peter Jackson spoke to Xie Yi, he used his hand to touch the snow-white, tall, and sturdy horse beside him.

Peter was a horsemanship enthusiast, and the horse that the crew had prepared for Legolas was undoubtedly a very good one. It also looked very handsome.

"Yes, it's very good."

Even though Xie Yi didn't know how to specifically distinguish between the types of horses and whether they were good or bad, he could tell from the horse's sturdy body, shiny fur, and energetic expression that it was definitely a rare horse.

"Allen, your bow and quiver." The prop master handed over Legolas' bow and quiver.
