From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 60

This is an anti-theft badge,

I hope everyone supports the original version.

"So you mean... you want me to take on more literary films?" Xie Yi understood the worry in Arthur's words and said.

"Of course I'm not asking you to take on literary films in the future,

After all, I remember that you've always emphasized on making the audience like you. "Arthur couldn't help but laugh and tease after hearing Xie Yi's words.

To be honest, he had never seen someone as strange as Xie Yi,

As an actor, he didn't care about the highest award in the film industry, the Oscars,

As a young man, he preferred to stay at home all day and live like an old man.

However, compared to those actors who caused trouble all day long outside,

Should he be glad that Xie Yi was such a homebody? After all, he never caused trouble for himself.

It was just that he was really not used to such an obedient actor,

After all, no Hollywood actor was as well-behaved as Xie Yi, especially those who had just become popular.

So all his abilities were useless now?

But he still preferred such a quiet artist, what should he do?

Arthur was at a loss as he thought to himself.

"What I mean is that you can take on commercial films. After all, you're still a rising star now,

Although "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Blonde" have made you popular during this period of time, you still haven't made a name for yourself.

But this kind of popularity has a time limit,

So you should take on more roles that can attract fans and let the audience really know you, know Alan Rodriguez, and not the characters in your movies. "

"Only at this time can you take on some better and more meaningful scripts,

Let the audience know that you're not just a vase with an empty appearance,

Let them know that you also have acting skills,

Then the audience can really like you.

After all, even if those fans say that they love you for a lifetime,

But how can you retain these fans for a lifetime with an empty appearance? "

"So,

What do you think? "Xie Yi looked at Arthur and asked,

He had always thought that commercial films were the easiest movies to attract fans,

That was why he was more inclined to act in commercial films,

Because this could help him accumulate the power of faith faster,

Improve his cultivation.

But now, after listening to Arthur's analysis,

He suddenly felt that it was a good choice to take on a literary film. After all, what he wanted was to be liked by the audience for a long time. If he could shoot a literary film that was liked by the audience, it might not only be liked by the audience but also prove his acting skills.

Although he wouldn't age like Arthur was worried about, he didn't dare to bet on whether the audience would fall in love with him. So, as Arthur just said, choosing a few literary films might be a good choice for him.

Arthur picked out one of the scripts that Xie Yi had read and waved it in front of Xie Yi, "Actually, any one of these scripts can be used for your audition, but I still prefer this one."

"It's this one, why?" Xie Yi looked at Arthur in surprise. That's right, the book that Arthur picked up was the one that Xie Yi had read before, "Falling in Love with You Through Time", or it could also be called "Love Another Lifetime".

"Because the theme of this book is novel, and the male lead's character is also relatively good. If you act well, then you may be more liked by the audience, especially those female fans.

But this is not the most important reason why I suggest you choose this movie. The reason why I suggest you choose this movie is because the producer of this movie is the Weinstein brothers. "

"The Weinstein brothers?"

Xie Yi was a little surprised, but it was really no wonder that Xie Yi was surprised. It was because the Weinstein brothers had been really popular in recent years.

In particular, two years ago, she pushed for "Shakespeare's Love" to be nominated for thirteen Oscars. In the end, she was nominated for six awards, including Best Film and Best Actress, which was really eye-catching.

After all, there were countless good films in the Oscars that "Shakespeare's Love" won. Just the films that could be compared to "Shakespeare's Love" were "Life is Beautiful," "Saving Private Ryan," "The Truman Show," and so on.

Although "Shakespeare's Love" was also excellent, compared to the authentic American film "Saving Private Ryan," it still lost in terms of nationality.

After all, "Shakespeare's Love" was only a British film, but the Oscars were not really an international film festival. It was basically a domestic award for annual outstanding works in the American film industry, and at most, some films from English-speaking countries would be included.

Except for the Foreign Language Film Award, films from other countries rarely knocked on the door of the Oscars.

Therefore, "Shakespeare's Love", a British film, could compete with "Saving Private Ryan," which showed the spirit of the American film, in the Oscars, Weinstein's role could not be ignored.

"Yes, it's that Weinstein."

Arthur nodded and said, "Weinstein has been in the limelight in recent years. Although they are a bit unscrupulous, none of the six major Hollywood companies are like that. That's why I suggest you choose this film, because they are the producers of this film."

"Use this film to build a relationship with them, and you will have more choices on the road to Oscars in the future. After all, they are the experts in this field, and there is no harm in building a good relationship with them," Arthur calmly analyzed to Xie Yi.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xie Yi nodded and said. Arthur had already planned the best path for him, so he should also believe in Arthur's ability.

"When is the audition for this film?"

"August 19th, the internal audition will be held at Miramax Pictures," Arthur said without hesitation.

As an agent, it was a compulsory homework to be familiar with various scripts and related matters.

"Okay, I'll prepare well."

Xie Yi said seriously. Ever since he had tasted the convenience of cultivation during this period, he did not reject the career of being an actor at all. In his opinion, it was a special way of cultivation. It could cultivate his mind and improve his cultivation, which was the best thing to do.

The audition was on August 19th, and now it was already August 13th. Xie Yi only had six days left, but Xie Yi was not in a hurry because he had the system, which was a cheat.

As his cultivation increased, his mental strength gradually recovered. Entering the script space built by the system for him could be said to have little effect on him.

Just like the name of the script, Another Lifetime Love was about a man and a woman who met and fell in love through time and space. In the end, the lovers were married.

Xie Yi closed the script in his hand and put it aside. Previously, he had only skimmed through it once. Now that he had read it carefully, he had to admit that the theme of this script was indeed novel. The male lead was noble, elegant, talented, and sincere, while the female lead was strong, independent, and never willing to admit defeat. These two people from different worlds met and fell in love in the end. Coupled with the elements of time travel, it was really fascinating.

"System, enter the script space," Xie Yi said to the system in his heart.

With the system's "okay", Xie Yi entered the world of Another Lifetime Love.

New York in the 18th century was different from the skyscrapers and bustling lights of the 21st century. It was filled with a simple historical atmosphere. This was something that Xie Yi could not see in the 21st century America.

New York had not been fully baptized by the Industrial Revolution. The hard stone streets were mostly filled with people driving carriages and unhurried gentlemen.

When Xie Yi entered this world, it was during the first act of the script. The Brooklyn Bridge had just been completed, and the person in charge was giving a speech to celebrate the perfect completion of the project.

However, this feeling was different from the previous few times he had entered the script space. This time, when Xie Yi entered the body of the Duke Of Albany, he could clearly feel the difference. This time, he could move freely!

Yes, this time, he could move freely and not be trapped in the body of the characters like before, watching them walk toward their predetermined lives.

"System, what is going on?"

Xie Yi was confused. He looked at the people around him who kept glancing at him. Xie Yi tried his best to pretend that he was the Duke Of Albany. Once he entered this body, he would possess this character's previous memory. Combined with his improved acting skills, no one would be able to tell that the Duke Of Albany before him had changed into a different person.

"It's like this, Host. Since the movie you acted in was released, you received quite a lot of Divine Energy, so the System used that to recover some of its power. It has gained some resistance against the rules of this world, so the Host can move freely in the script space without being restricted by the characters in the script. However, the System's power is limited, so there is a time limit to this kind of free movement. The plot will have to follow the original plot, but the time outside the plot will be controlled by the Host," the System explained patiently when it saw Xie Yi's question.

"You mean, the time outside the plot will be controlled by me?"

Xie Yi asked again. He could not be blamed for being so anxious. If it was really possible, then he would have more time to train.

"Yes, Host.

However, the Host has to take note that the time inside the plot is still not under the Host's control. Only the time outside the plot can be controlled by the Host, "the System emphasized again.

"Okay." Xie Yi did not dawdle and gave a simple answer.

"What did you say?" Arthur asked with disbelief. It was that simple?

He had not even used his argument to convince Xie Yi, and Xie Yi had already agreed to it so easily?

This was such a lack of accomplishment!

"I said yes, I can make you my manager." Xie Yi really thought that Arthur had not heard him clearly earlier, so he repeated himself.
