    "Axian, would you like a glass of orange juice?"

    At Tulip Manor, Guan Zhilin asked Wang Zuxian with a smile on her face.

    "Thank you!" Wang Zuxian agreed with a smile, but in his heart he was scolding Guan Zhilin for her villainous face.

    Yesterday, Wang Zijun brought Wang Zuxian, Wuma and others to Los Angeles.  In addition to attending the U.S. premiere of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Zijun also brought some of the crew members of "The Legend of East Asian Heroes 2" to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of East Asian Heroes 2" in the United States.

    In order to facilitate things, the members of "Eastern Heroines 2" all stayed in the hotel in Los Angeles, while Wang Zuxian, Wu Ma and others stayed at the Tulip Manor together so that they could go together to the premiere.

    What makes Wang Zuxian unhappy is that as soon as they moved in, Guan Zhilin showed her identity as the hostess at all times and took good care of them.

    For some reason, Wang Zuxian felt uncomfortable as soon as he saw Guan Zhilin's proud look.

    When Guan Zhilin brought the orange juice, she walked over wearing a mandarin jacket and asked Wang Zuxian, "Zuxian, what do you think of me wearing this tomorrow?"

    Wang Zuxian said funnyly: "Didn't you make a suit specially made for you?"

    Wuma said: "Everyone wears suits, doesn't it have no characteristics at all?"

    "That's up to you." Wang Zuxian said.

    Wuma is also an old actor who is almost 50 years old. He was born in Shaw Brothers and dreams of coming to Hollywood.  This time he attended the premiere in Hollywood. He was more excited than anyone else. He brought several sets of clothes and thought about which one to wear to the premiere all day long.

    "Where is Mr. Jun?" Wu Ma adjusted his mantle and sat down and asked.

    Guan Zhilin answered helpfully: "Ms. Huang Yumei has just arrived. They should talk about business in the garden."

    Who is Huang Yumei?

    A legendary Chinese actress in Hollywood.

    This old lady is almost 60 this year. She danced on stage in nightclubs in the United States at the age of five. She acted in the circus in the 1950s. In the 1970s, she opened a management company to specifically serve Asian actors in the United States. Many Asian actors are famous in Hollywood.  Asian actors have all received her help.

    The reason why Wang Zijun found Huang Yumei is very simple, just because she is Zunlong's agent.  This time, there is an important role in "The Heroine of the East 2", and Zun Long needs to play the Chinese-American detective.

    "Mr. Wang's place is great." Huang Yumei drank black tea and commented on the garden she was in.

    "Thank you for the compliment," Wang Zijun smiled and asked, "I wonder when Mr. Zun Long's play will be completed?"

    Huang Yumei said: "I don't know very well. The filming of "The Last Emperor" started in August last year, and it may be filmed until June or July this year."

    Wang Zijun said: "That would be a bit late. My movie will start shooting in May at most."

    Zun Long is the leading actor in "The Last Emperor".  His experience is also exciting enough to be made into a movie.

    Zunlong is an orphan who was raised by a disabled woman. He has never met his biological parents. He started learning Peking Opera at the age of 7. He is still the junior brother of Xiao Fangfang and Chen Baozhu.

    Zunlong came to Hollywood more than ten years ago, just because he was too handsome and upright, and the Chinese characters in Hollywood movies were all bad guys, so he didn't have many roles.

    After struggling in Hollywood for several years, Zunlong went to the theater to act in a stage play by chance. As a result, he was spotted by the stage play director and starred in the stage play "F.O.B."  In one fell swoop, he won the highest Off-Broadway honor in the United States - the Obie Award for Best Actor in a Drama.

    Zunlong achieved success in the stage play, and gradually became a little famous.  Last year, he was nominated for Supporting Actor at the Golden Globe Awards, and was later invited to play Pu Yi in "The Last Emperor".

    When "The Last Emperor" is released in the second half of the year, Zunlong's reputation will soar.  There are not many Chinese people who are doing well outside, so Wang Zijun naturally has to recruit all of them to make good use of them, otherwise this person will slowly sink again - there is no soil for Asian actors to succeed in Hollywood.

    Huang Yumei has been in the United States for decades and naturally knows this clearly.  She has dozens of Asian actors, but they can only play bad guys.  Occasionally there is an opportunity to play a positive supporting role, and everyone can grab the lead.  To star in Wang Zijun's film is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Zunlong wants to continue to be popular in the United States.  It must be supported by a Chinese like Wang Zijun.

    "Mr. Wang, do you think this is a good idea? I will try my best to coordinate with the crew of "The Last Emperor" in China and rush back as soon as filming is completed." Huang Yumei said.

    Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just adjust the scene about him later."

    "That's great." Huang Yumei said.  An Asian actor from her management company can hook up with WangJun's line is a good thing for her and the company.  As for "The Last Emperor" starring John Lung, to be honest, not many people were optimistic about it, and no one expected that this film would win nine Oscars next year.

    Wang Zijun knew it, so he found Huang Yumei and invited Zunlong to star in "The Three Heroines of the East 2".

    In fact, it is normal for "The Last Emperor" to win awards. For this film, the director spent two years just inspecting China and getting familiar with Chinese culture and customs.  Nearly 20,000 extras were used during the filming. The lamas in the palace were all real lamas. Because they were not allowed to touch women, the director specially arranged more than a dozen Hollywood male costume assistants for these lamas.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a hard work, and the script and director are both good, so it¡¯s normal to win an award.

    Last year when Wang Zijun was in mainland China, "The Last Emperor" was already being shot in the palace.  It's just that the crew is very strict, and even their own main actors can't be let in without a pass, and Wang Zijun has no chance to go in and visit.

    After talking about Zunlong, Wang Zijun finally got to the main topic of the day: "Is the situation of Ms. Huang's actor agency okay now?"

    Huang Yumei smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Wang should know very well that he is just trying to make ends meet. I made a lot of money from the filming of "The Last Emperor" this time. 36 Chinese actors in the company were taken to China for filming." (  The male and female protagonists of this film are all actors from Huang Yumei Company.)

    Huang Yumei did not tell lies. For example, Bruce Lee basically made a kung fu movie every two years in recent years, but the Chinese actors in his films were all his own team, and the other actors were white. There was no need to use Huang Yumei's people.  And there are too few Asians in the films made by Western directors.

    Wang Zijun asked: "Are you interested in cooperating?"

    "Cooperation?" Huang Yumei said with a smile, "I am a small company, how can I cooperate with you, Mr. Wang?"

    Wang Zijun said: "In the future, as long as Asian actors appear in the films produced by Longhu Film Company, all of them will be made by your actors. And Chinese film companies such as Wang's Pictures, Jiahe Pictures, etc., will also use them if they are shot in the United States.  I will always cooperate with you. At the same time, if there are actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan who come to Hollywood, I will also recommend them to join your company. There are also American Chinese films that target Chinese people in Chinatown. I will help contact the directors I know.  They will cooperate with you in the future.¡±

    Although Huang Yumei has been living in the United States for decades, as a Chinese, her connections are very limited.  With Wang Zijun's help, her acting agency's ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

    "What does Mr. Wang want me to do for you?" Huang Yumei asked. She didn't believe that there was such a thing as getting something without giving.

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "I have a girlfriend who wants to get involved in the American entertainment industry. She runs around here and there for three days and makes friends with people in the industry. In fact, she has no order at all. I want Ms. Huang to help me take her with her.  Let her be the company's deputy and learn something from you. In addition, I will invest 500,000 US dollars in it, and you will give her 30% of the company's shares."

    Huang Yumei asked: "Who is your girlfriend?"

    "Guan Zhilin." Wang Zijun said.

    "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Guan." Huang Yumei naturally heard of Wang Zijun's reputation and immediately agreed to cooperate.  Not to mention the other conveniences Wang Zijun gave her, her acting agency was not worth US$1 million. Wang Zijun spent US$500,000 to buy only 30% of the shares, which was a generous deal.

    Wang Zijun picked up the mobile phone on the stone table and dialed the number in the living room. He found that it was Guan Zhilin who answered the phone and said directly: "Come to the garden."

    Within two minutes, Guan Zhilin hurried over. Wang Zijun introduced: "This is Ms. Huang Yumei."

    Chi-Lin Kwan has been hanging out in Hollywood for more than a year, so she naturally knows this senior who specializes in finding roles for Asian actors.  However, before, Guan Zhilin felt that Huang Yumei was just a petty person and didn't take much notice of her, so she didn't bother to contact her.  Now that Wang Zijun introduced her face to face, Guan Zhilin immediately acted like she had admired her for a long time, shook hands and said, "I am very familiar with Ms. Huang's name. I have heard it mentioned by many people, but I have never had the opportunity to meet"

    Wang Zijun said: "Don't you want to develop in Hollywood? From now on, don't be a strong person who throws a hammer here and there a stick, otherwise you will end up with nothing. From now on, work in Ms. Huang's company."

    Guan Zhilin was a little dazed, not understanding what Wang Zijun was talking about, but Wang Zijun had never mentioned this to her beforehand.

    Huang Yumei explained at the side. Guan Zhilin was a little hesitant after hearing this. She felt that Huang Yumei's company was too small, and only giving her 30% of the shares was too small.  But this was arranged by Wang Zijun for her. Guan Zhilin was afraid that Wang Zijun would be unhappy if she refused, so she had to pretend to be surprised and agree.

    We chatted for a while?, Wang Zijun sent someone to drive Huang Yumei away, then turned to Guan Zhilin and sneered: "What? Do you think the temple is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you?"

    "Where is that?" Guan Zhilin hugged Wang Zijun and said coquettishly.

    Wang Zijun scolded: "I don't have much ability, and I'm still picky. This Ms. Huang is almost a master in Hollywood. Asian actors have a hard time in Hollywood, but they can support an Asian family by their own abilities."  American actor agency. If you really want to develop in the United States, just follow her and learn from her, otherwise I won¡¯t bother to care about you."

    Guan Zhilin stuck out her tongue and said, "Even if I'm wrong, don't be so cruel to me."

    Wang Zijun pinched Guan Meiren's face in a funny way and said, "Am I going to harm you? Don't you want to think that in a few years, those who want to come to Hollywood and join the big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan will all depend on your face?"

    Guan Zhilin immediately understood. Thinking that all the actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan requested her, she suddenly felt hot all over. She threw herself into Wang Zijun's arms and said, "Husband, you are so kind."
