Early the next morning, Quan Huibin and Yoon Eunhye said goodbye to Zhang Chengyuan and left early, while Zhang Chengyuan drove to the company to discuss future business arrangements with Park Byungyeol. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, because I don¡¯t know how long it will take to go to the United States this time, and when I will be able to come back. Naturally, I can¡¯t contact and arrange work. I have to wait for Zhang Chengyuan to find out the specific filming process and time after arriving in the United States, so that I can find out the details. Arrange some announcements. Originally, Park Byung-yeol wanted to accompany Jang Sung-won to the United States for a few days to discuss Jang Sung-won's remuneration for filming with Hollywood producers, but Jang Sung-won persuaded him not to do so because Jang Sung-won was a complete newcomer in Hollywood and was not qualified to comment on the remuneration. Long once promised to ask for at least 500,000 US dollars in remuneration from the producers on his behalf, which is already very impressive for a newcomer, especially an Asian newcomer. In this way, his agent Park Byung-yeol has no need to take action. In addition, 500,000 U.S. dollars is almost negligible compared with Cheng Long¡¯s salary of 15 million to 20 million U.S. dollars, but when converted into Korean won, it is almost 500 million U.S. dollars. This is already the salary of South Korea¡¯s top film actors. In comparison, Zhang Chengyuan is more calm. At nine o'clock in the morning, Park Byung-yeol drove Zhang Chengyuan to the airport. Around 10:30, Zhang Chengyuan got on the plane and arrived in Los Angeles that night. He found a hotel and stayed for one night. He contacted Cheng Long early the next morning and told him Met once. The place where I met Cheng Long was Cheng Long¡¯s home in the United States, a mansion located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, where Hollywood stars gather, and his wife often lives here. The two chatted for a while. Cheng Long said: "Did you just arrive this morning?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "You arrived last night." Cheng Long said: "Then why didn't you come to me last night?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "It would be too presumptuous to disturb you late at night!" Cheng Long said : "Every time I talk to you, I always feel like talking to an ancient Chinese. Your words and deeds are elegant, sincere and polite, confident and humble. This kind of demeanor is rare even among Chinese people today, but it is I don¡¯t want you, a Korean, to see this. In fact, Zhang Chengyuan is not as good as Cheng Long said. As a person, he naturally showed some temperament from his previous life, and after all, he was an ancient person. When he spoke Chinese, he would occasionally use some elegant words unnaturally, which made Cheng Long feel that he was ancient. He looks like an ancient person. In fact, Zhang Chengyuan today is neither foreign nor ancient, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother Cheng Long, you are too praised, I can't afford it! " Cheng Long said: "My name is Cheng Long, and your name is Cheng Yuan. Their names are almost the same. I wonder what your name means? " Zhang Chengyuan didn't know why Zhang Donghu named him "Chengyuan". He thought about it and said: "Yuan means 'beginning, beginning, first'. My father wanted me to be the first in my studies. In addition, "Yuan" also means "original, original". My father also hopes that I can always maintain the original face of the human heart. The so-called "human nature is inherently good" naturally means that I have high moral character and will not go astray. "Cheng Long said: "I didn't expect that your father is so proficient in Chinese, which is admirable. ¡± Zhang Chengyuan knew that Cheng Long was too honored. In fact, his current father, Zhang Donghu, only spoke some basic Chinese. He couldn¡¯t even recognize a few hundred Chinese characters. How could he be said to be ¡®proficient¡¯? However, a son never blames his father. He He didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to say a few more words of humility on behalf of his father. After chatting for a while, Cheng Long personally drove Zhang Chengyuan to the crew to meet the crew. Today was the day for the main members of the crew to meet. Zhang Chengyuan originally thought that as soon as he entered the crew today, he might start filming, but Cheng Long just told him that because the location selection has not been completely determined, the filming will be postponed for a while, but the crew The meeting was not cancelled, but some actors were missing. When we arrived at the meeting place agreed by the crew, a certain lobby of a hotel, we saw hundreds of people, men, women, old and young, with different skin colors, sitting and chatting. , or standing and dancing, everyone doing their own thing, it was very lively, like a party. I followed Cheng Long in and passed through the crowd. Many people greeted Cheng Long enthusiastically, and Cheng Long responded enthusiastically. Some of them looked at Zhang Chengyuan curiously, especially the eyes of some women, who seemed to be shocked by Zhang Chengyuan's appearance and temperament. However, they did not take the liberty to come forward and talk to Cheng Long. English greeted the four people sitting there, and then introduced Zhang Chengyuan to them. Three of the four people sitting there were the directors and producers whom Zhang Chengyuan had met during the last audition.There are three photographers, and the remaining one is unknown. He is a dark-skinned man about 1.85 meters tall. This was Zhang Chengyuan's first time dealing with a black man. He couldn't help but take a second look. He saw that this black man had thick and short hair and a face as black as coal. Except for the whites of his eyes and lips, his entire face was completely black. In ancient China, He would definitely be treated as an evil ghost by Taoist priests like him in his previous life. Of course, Zhang Chengyuan will not do this now. At most, he will sigh: "Everything is born with different characteristics!" In addition, the black man's beard on his lips and under his chin formed a circle shape, which looked a bit individual and a bit funny. , when he laughed, it became even more funny. Zhang Chengyuan guessed that this person was the actor Chris Tucker who played Cheng Long¡¯s partner, the black policeman, in the "Rush Hour" series of movies. Without waiting for Zhang Chengyuan to greet him, this Chris Tucker Tucker had already called out: "Hey, Asian, hello, I'm so happy to see you! You must be Jackie (Cheng Long)'s compatriot, right? He keeps telling us how handsome you are and how amazing your fighting ability is. , Now I finally see you. However, in my opinion, you don¡¯t seem to be very handsome. My compatriots will definitely look down on you!¡± Zhang Chengyuan thought to himself: ¡°It¡¯s best if you have dark skin. I can't stand it when a woman gets involved with me." It's not that he is discriminating against black people, it's just that in his opinion, except for Chinese and East Asians who look almost the same as Chinese, no matter how beautiful women from other places are, It doesn't fit his aesthetics either. Seeing Zhang Chengyuan in a daze, Chris Tucker thought he didn't understand, so he said it again, and finally added: "Brother, I'm joking. In fact, you are indeed pretty good-looking, just one step behind me." "Dian Dian, he is a hundred times more handsome than Jackie, no, a thousand times." He has a good relationship with Cheng Long, and there is no pressure to make fun of Cheng Long. Cheng Long knew that this black guy had a rough personality and his way of speaking was always out of tune. In fact, he didn't have any malice, so he didn't bother to argue with him, and even if he did, the black guy didn't think what he said was inappropriate. Zhang Chengyuan said in English: "Thank you for the compliment, you are quite handsome!" Chris Tucker was a little surprised and said: "Your English is very fluent and you speak very clearly, unlike other Asians who always go around. , I can¡¯t understand it, I like it. Come on, let me toast you!" He poured a glass of beer for himself and Zhang Chengyuan, handed one to Zhang Chengyuan, and then drank his own glass first. . Cheng Long looked at Zhang Chengyuan, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled and nodded gently. Zhang Chengyuan also smiled and nodded in greeting, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then turned the glass upside down and placed it on the table. Not a drop of wine was seen in the glass. After drinking, Zhang Chengyuan's expression remained calm and confident. Of course he has reasons to be confident. With his current level of Qi cultivation, it is easy for him to "not get drunk after a thousand cups". Even if everyone in the audience takes turns toasting to him, he can still win these people down. Everyone clapped their hands and praised, and Chris Tucker said loudly: "That's cool, brother!" He said the word "brother" in Chinese. You don't need to guess to know that he learned this word from Cheng Long. He just said It was not clear and standard enough, so Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while before he understood. In Zhang Chengyuan¡¯s opinion, this black actor is also very cheerful and has a good temperament, so he has a good impression of him. Next, Cheng Long chatted with the director and others. Zhang Chengyuan listened for a while and realized that they were talking about movie location selection, so he stopped listening. He couldn't get involved in this kind of thing anyway. Also uninterested in this matter was Chris Tucker. He pulled Zhang Chengyuan to sit on the seat next to him and said enthusiastically: "I heard from the director and producer that during the last audition, you performed a crawling performance." The kung fu of jumping off walls and buildings, can you show me other kung fu today, such as opening bottle caps with your hands, or cutting wine bottles in half, just like what is shown in Chinese movies?" He said and took a bottle. The unopened wine bottle was pushed in front of Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan knew that he was in a strange place. If he didn't want to be looked down upon, he had to show his ability, so he didn't refuse. He took the wine bottle with his left hand and lightly dug the bottle cap with his right finger, and the bottle cap fell off. After coming down, Zhang Chengyuan picked up the wine bottle and filled a glass of wine for Chris Tucker, and said: "Open the wine bottle with your hands. Anyone who has practiced hand skills for several years can easily do it. It is not that difficult. Chinese Kung Fu is profound and profound, which cannot be represented by this small skill. I will perform another difficult one for you." Chris Tucker urged: "Hurry up, I can't wait!" Zhang Chengyuan will stretch out his left hand. With his palm facing up, he placed the bottle cap in his palm and pressed it gently with his right hand, but no force was seen. After about five seconds, he raised his right hand and saw that the bottle cap had turned into a circle. The shape is flat, as if it were on paper.?Draw a circle and cut it out. Chris Tucker's eyes widened, and in disbelief, he picked up the wine bottle cap that had turned into a flat surface with two fingers, and said with a trembling voice: "Isn't this true? You are doing magic rather than performing kung fu, right? ? Jack, come and see, this brother actually made a wine bottle cap into this flat shape with his hands!" Cheng Long and others looked over and found out what happened. If Zhang Chengyuan is If you smash it with your fist, they may be surprised, but they won't find it unacceptable. But just by gently bringing your two palms together, you can press the bottle cap into a flat surface. How hard your hands and strength are required to do this? ? Therefore, except Cheng Long, everyone else thought this was impossible. Chris Tucker must have been deceived by this Asian. When they said this, Chris Tucker felt that he might have been deceived by Zhang Chengyuan, and asked: "Hey, brother, can't you fool me?" Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "Actually, I was Magic, the real wine bottle cap is here." He stretched out his right hand, but it was empty. When everyone was puzzled, Zhang Chengyuan turned his right hand over again, palm down, and held it quickly, then turned it over again and spread it out. Opening the palm, a wine bottle cap immediately appeared on the palm. After seeing this scene, which is a common scene in magic performances, Chris Tucker and others were convinced that the flat shape of the wine bottle cap just now was caused by Zhang Chengyuan's magic technique and was not caused by Chinese Kung Fu. . Zhang Chengyuan felt helpless at the shallowness of these foreigners. If he had known that these people could not even understand ordinary internal martial arts, he might as well show them more simple and easy-to-understand hard skills, causing himself to not shock the world. , had to use a "magic" trick. In fact, he didn't know any magic. He just used his energy to suck a bottle cap from the ground and put it in his hand. Only Cheng Long felt a little strange. He had been paying attention to Zhang Chengyuan's actions since he first opened the bottle cap with bare hands. He knew that the original wine bottle cap had a smooth surface without any wrinkles, but the bottle cap that Zhang Chengyuan later created was There were obvious traces of a bottle opener, so it was obviously not the same wine bottle cap. So there is something strange about it.
