From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 76

This is an anti-theft badge.

I hope everyone will support the original.

And he urgently needed to change his style. Martin Scorsese was undoubtedly one of the directors he needed to work with the most.

This was also why he chose this film.

Instead of conquering the world with his beauty, he preferred people to see his strength.

And if he wanted people to see his strength,

He had to win an award first, especially the highest award in the film industry, the Oscars.

"It seems that we'll meet again soon." Leonardo didn't know why he paid so much attention to this person.

Was it because he was more handsome than him?

That's why he paid so much attention to him when he noticed the news.

Leonardo was a little puzzled. Was it because he was too good-looking?

Xie Yi didn't know that there was a big star in Hollywood secretly paying attention to him. Now that "The Fast and the Furious" was about to stop airing,

Its final box office also stunned everyone in Hollywood. No one would have thought that at the beginning of the summer, before all kinds of blockbusters were released, "The Fast and the Furious" would stand out like an unstoppable dark horse and get off to a good start.

It had to be said that this brought a lot of pressure to other films.

Of course, the summer had just begun.

Everything had not been decided yet. Although Universal had a good start with "The Fast and the Furious",

It was all just the beginning. Who would have the last laugh was still unknown.

But this had nothing to do with Xie Yi.

After "The Fast and the Furious" stopped airing, Xie Yi began to follow the "Beauty at the Lawyer" crew's promotional activities.

In this film, he was also the male lead, although his screen time was pitiful.

But the "Beauty at the Lawyer" crew wouldn't let go of Xie Yi, who was now the hottest star in Hollywood.

That's right, at the same time that "The Fast and the Furious" exploded in the box office.

As the male lead of "The Fast and the Furious", Xie Yi could now be regarded as a rising star in Hollywood.

After all, there weren't many newcomers in Hollywood who could achieve such dazzling results after their first film was released.

Although a large part of this depended on luck.

But Xie Yi happened to be able to catch up, didn't that mean that he was lucky?

What's more, as a newcomer, his acting skills were so skillful, and his looks were good. He had all the qualifications to be popular.

Every year, no less than tens of millions of young men and women came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams, but how many newcomers could stand out?

Most of them were struggling at the bottom of Hollywood, playing minor roles in various films. Xie Yi was so lucky to have a name in Hollywood, which was really enviable.

Therefore, now that Xie Yi's popularity was at its peak, the production crew of "Beauty at the Lawyer" would not let go of such a good opportunity to promote their show.

"I can only say that Allen will attend the premiere as well as one or two additional interviews. After all, Allen's scenes in the movie are pitifully small. Compared to the extras, he only has the title of the male lead. If you want Allen to attend every single promotional event, it's simply a fantasy, isn't it?" Arthur calmly argued with the producer of "Legally Charming".

"But isn't Allen the male lead?"

The producer of "Legally Charming" still wanted to fight for a little more, in case Xie Yi agreed, although he also knew that this chance was very slim.

"But Allen's appearance in the movie is even less than that of the supporting male lead. This is also a fact." Arthur said rather coldly.

"Okay, that's it."

The producer of "Legally Charming" knew that there wouldn't be any other results, so he stopped arguing. If he argued too much, it would be bad if he angered Xie Yi's agent.

However, if he knew that Xie Yi would be so popular now, he would have asked the scriptwriter to give him more scenes.

But it was hard to buy things with money. If he knew earlier, things were already set in stone. Even if he regretted it, it would be useless.

After "Legally Charming" was released, it was quite popular. It wasn't inferior to a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters. After all, in a bunch of blockbusters with big productions and big scenes, "Legally Charming" was like a plate of porridge and side dishes. After people got tired of eating big meals, "Legally Charming" was even more popular.

Of course, this was also because "Legally Charming" was indeed a very good movie. The movie was funny but not vulgar. It could be said that this movie was a movie that everyone could watch regardless of age.

After all, no one would want to be depressed while watching a movie. "Legally Charming" perfectly fit the idea of people seeking happiness, especially when there was no lack of handsome men and beautiful women in the movie, especially the female lead, Reese Witherspoon. Because of her role in "Legally Charming", she became the new generation of America's sweetheart and was highly sought after by people.

Of course, Xie Yi also gained a new group of fans. After all, "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Charming" had different audiences. Xie Yi's appearance in "Legally Charming" was much better than Blaine in "The Fast and the Furious". Naturally, he also gained a large number of fans.

Of course, Xie Yi didn't care whether he was a fan or not. In his opinion, as long as they could provide him with spiritual energy, it was fine.

After the accumulation of these two movies, the system had already built a spiritual energy space for Xie Yi. After that, as long as Xie Yi's fans continued to increase, the spiritual energy in the system space would also increase. As early as a few days ago, Xie Yi's cultivation had already broken through the twelfth level of Qi Refining. He was just waiting to succeed in building his foundation.

And as long as he succeeded in building his foundation, his body's lifespan would increase by 200 years, leaving him more time to cultivate.

"Here, these are the scripts you wanted. I have already picked through them. These are the ones that are more suitable for your current situation. You can choose them yourself." Arthur said as he placed a stack of scripts in front of Xie Yi.

Xie Yi looked at the stack of scripts in front of him and reached out to flip through them.

The script placed at the top was "Vanilla Sky". It was mainly about a playboy rich second generation who met a girl he liked, got into a car accident, disfigured, and a series of strange things after that.

After Xie Yi finished reading, he put the script aside. He didn't really like the script, but of course, he didn't hate it either. He could only say that it was okay.

After that, Xie Yi looked at the second script, "James Dean"?

Xie Yi was puzzled. This seemed to be a person's name. Could it be a biography?

"This is a character biography script?" After Xie Yi picked up the second script, he looked at Arthur doubtfully.

"Yes, James Dean. He is one of the 25 greatest male screen legends in the past 100 years. He is also one of the top ten cultural icons in the United States. Coincidentally, next year is the 50th anniversary of his death. Launching this project at this time is undoubtedly an opportunity to remember him. The box office won't be very good, but it definitely won't be too bad." Arthur explained to Xie Yi lightly.

Even though he had been in this world for two years, Xie Yi still didn't understand these things that were common knowledge to others.

Xie Yi didn't know everything about the current entertainment industry, but it could be said that he knew a lot about it. However, he obviously wasn't familiar with the previous him to the point where he could speak about it.

After listening to Arthur's words, Xie Yi nodded and put the script together with the previous one. He planned to wait until he finished reading all the scripts before he understood the character of James Dean.

However, when Xie Yi saw the third script, Xie Yi's eyes were attracted to it.

"Crossing Time to Love You". Crossing Time and Space?

Seeing these four words, Xie Yi's heart was slightly shaken. Did his situation also belong to crossing time and space?

From the Tianyuan Continent, he crossed over to this world where spiritual energy was exhausted.

Xie Yi reached out and picked up the script, quickly flipping through it. Unfortunately, after reading the entire script, Xie Yi was slightly disappointed.

This was a romance movie. Although there were elements of crossing over, it was completely different from what he had imagined.

After reading all the scripts, Xie Yi frowned slightly. These scripts were no different to him. Anyway, what he wanted was different from the average actor. Other actors wanted fame or money, but he only wanted fame. It was just that this fame was different from other actors. He only wanted the audience to like him.

"Arthur, which one do you like more?" Xie Yi asked with some hesitation.

Regarding acting, he might be able to do it with the help of the system, but when it came to choosing scripts, he wasn't good at it. However, Arthur was different. This was his job, and he was definitely better than him.

"Then what do you really want?" Arthur asked with a slightly serious expression.

"I remember telling you before that I don't care about the salary or the Oscars. What I care about is the audience. I want the audience to like me," Xie Yi said with the same serious expression.

"I haven't forgotten. I remember what you said when we first met.

However, Allen, you are still young. If you are restricted to commercial films, then you can only be a vase, because the audience won't recognize your acting skills. They will only see your handsome face and model-like body. "

Arthur said with some sincerity. The ability of commercial films to attract fans was much stronger than literary films. However, if an actor acted too much, in the eyes of the audience, he or she would be fixed in the eyes of the audience.

This was because commercial films didn't pursue the embodiment of acting skills, but the use of special effects. The role of the actor in the film was not prominent. In other words, any actor could be competent.

However, literary films were different. The audience generally recognized the acting skills of the actors who came from literary films.

"But the appearance will age, and the figure will be out of shape. Even if the acting career of an actor is much longer than that of an actress, the audience is not so long-lasting. Moreover, you are in the entertainment industry, which changes so quickly and new people come out in large numbers. If you don't have the kind of works that can be circulated as a guarantee, then you can only disappear into the crowd."

"Therefore, I don't exclude you from doing commercial films. However, if you want the audience to remember you and like you forever, then you can't ignore literary films."
