Chapter 162 [New Kung Fu Superstar] (Part 1)
That night, after returning home.
I stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right at myself in the mirror, and looked at me for a full ten minutes. Then I smiled bitterly: "Why do I feel like I am not as good as a movie star as I can be?"
"Actually, if I was in normal times, I thought you could accept the invitation from the director to star in this movie, and with your current popularity, then your status in Hollywood in the future will probably be unparalleled... But unfortunately, we didn't come here to do our business. We always make money." Yang Wei sighed.
“How to say it?”
"Your identity." Yang Wei pointed out without hesitation: "Dear, your identity is your fatal injury! You are the protector of the largest smuggling industry on the West Coast of Canada. The largest gang leader on the West Coast. The infamous circle of North America's number one figure. At the same time, you have maintained a friendly cooperative relationship with the Hell Angels... You must understand that the American media is not a vegetarian! You have not really seen their power! They can even dig out whether the president smoked marijuana when he was young, and whether the president used condoms when he had sex when he was young! What else in the world is something that those media can't dig out? Once the media announces your identity, a gang leader, a smuggling giant... Do you think the people will still admire you so much? At that time, all the foundation you lay now will be in vain!"
I listened to Yang Wei's words very carefully, and then thought carefully.
Yang Wei continued: "Now, the media ignores your identity... But don't think they don't know anything! I bet that the media has long mastered all your information! They don't say it now, but they are almost always praising you in unison. That's because the entertainment industry in the United States now owe you a big favor! If it weren't for you, the film industry in the United States would collapse, and the entertainment industry would have to retreat for 30 years! And now, the media's praise for you is completely repaying your favor. Do you understand? It is completely giving you preferential treatment, an unprecedented preferential treatment! This kind of preferential treatment can't even be enjoyed by the US president!"
Indeed, since this incident, no media has ever said anything bad about me!
"On the other hand, you have saved too many people. Many of them are representatives of the media industry. If these people owe you a life, of course they will order their newspapers and magazines not to say bad things about you, but to praise you together. Similarly, this is also a favor to repay you." Yang Wei showed a hint of worry: "But you have to understand that there will always be a day to repay favors! When one day, those media feel that they have done enough and no longer owe you anything, they will report everything in your area according to normal standards! And then, don't say that you are a super red star! Even if you are the number one giant in Hollywood, you can still discredit your reputation! At that time, all your achievements will be gone."
I nodded and said, "You mean, I don't have to star in this movie?"
Yang smiled helplessly: "Actually, I think it's a pity. This opportunity is so good. If you are a pure businessman without a background and without a gangster background, then you can make this movie, which can make you a Hollywood giant! This movie will definitely succeed... But the problem is that you are a gangster background with too thick background! Even if you want to wash the bottom, it will not be able to wash it clean! Your foundation will definitely become your fatal injury in the future... So, you can't become a great superstar. Moreover, too swagger will also cause dissatisfaction from others. Now, you should be appropriately low-key. So, I don't think you should star in this movie."
"Okay." I smiled happily: "Then I'll reject James. Anyway, I'm not a material for being an actor."
"Although you can't do this, I have another idea." Yang Wei suddenly laughed: "This movie will definitely succeed. Instead of choosing another person to star in it and finally giving it a discount to outsiders, it is better to create a superstar by yourself. In this way, creating a superstar will also be a huge wealth in our hands!"
"..." I looked at Yang Wei and sighed: "You really don't want to give up any opportunity. OK, tell me. Who are you planning to let?"
Yang Wei didn't say anything. He pulled me out of the living room directly, and we walked into the gym in the mansion from a corridor next to us.
In the gym, Lei Xiaohu was punching a set of fists, and his waist had basically recovered. He had some traditional Chinese medicine massage and massage, and his original physical foundation was extremely good! Now he has basically recovered 90%.
Lei Xiaohu made Huhu angry with his punches, his steps were vigorous, his fist style was rapid, and his body was stretched. After all, he started practicing martial arts since he was young!
"Look, this is our future kung fu superstar!" Yang Wei stood beside me, holding his arms.
I was silent for a while, then shouted loudly: "Xiaohu, come here."
Lei Xiaohu had already seen us standing at the gym door. When he heard me calling him, he immediately stopped and walked in front of us.
"How is it?" I asked him: "Does your waist still hurt?"
Lei Xiaohu twisted his stride and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore. I just have been recuperating for too long and feel that my body is stiff. I have to move more in the next few days."
I squinted my eyes and looked up and down at the kid for a while.
Lei Xiaohu is only nineteen years old this year. In China, he can only be considered a young man at this age. However, this guy practices martial arts freely and suffers a lot, and looks a little more mature than he is actually old. His face is clear and angular. Although he occasionally has a little childishness, it would be enough if he just has a calm face to scare people. This kid was originally very handsome and inherited many of the advantages of the senior brother... As for his temperament, he is still a little impetuous now, but it is also a normal manifestation of a young man.
Fortunately, after experiencing major events this time, he has improved much better.
I said instantly that I didn't tell the elder brother about his injury. I didn't have much problem with Xiaohu's words, but just a slight minor injury. These are what this kid himself demanded to say.
The reason is... this incident was a huge change for him!
This kid killed someone for the first time in his life! Although it was at a critical moment, he could not choose and the person he killed was a terrorist. However, for Lei Xiaohu, who has been obedient since childhood and lived under the protection and restrictions of his senior brother, this experience also made it difficult for him to change.
Although he seemed relaxed at that time, he couldn't sleep all night in the hospital!
Later, he was even more afraid to see his father, so this time he asked me to hide his injuries because he was still afraid to face his father for the time being.
In fact, even if the eldest brother knew that he killed someone this time, he would not blame him. It’s just that this kid has been afraid of his father since he was a child.
Now Lei Xiaohu is standing in front of me, his emotions have basically stabilized over the past few days. The impact of murder on him has gradually transitioned under my step-by-step guidance and the passage of time.
After practicing martial arts, Lei Xiaohu was sweating heavily, his hair was wet, his upper body was a tight vest, and his lower body was a loose training pants.
After looking at him for a while, I suddenly said, "Take off your vest."
"Ah?" Lei Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, grew up his mouth, and couldn't help but look at Yang Wei standing beside me.
However, this kid still listened to me very much. Although his face was a little flushed, he quickly took off his vest and threw it on the ground. He just looked a little disgusted and didn't dare to look at Yang Wei.
After all, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and this kid's muscles are like a calf! Two chest muscles, eight abdominal muscles, arms, back, and muscle lines are very obvious, but they look very soft and are not as rigid as those who practice bodybuilding.
Lei Xiaohu looked like a young tiger, his whole body was filled with young, explosive power!
"Well, it looks a bit like this." I smiled: "Such a good figure, a good face, and a lot of kung fu, that's enough. Anyway, being a kung fu superstar doesn't require any acting skills."
"That's it." Yang Wei pursed her lips and smiled.
"The director of "The Great Robbery" was initially decided, and the 'tyrant' James Cameron was preparing to burn money..." - The New York Times.
"The Tyrant claimed that this will be a great attempt and will be a great movie!" - Luoshanji Daily.
"Cameron revealed shocking news: Chen will likely play 'Chan' himself!!" - "USA Today".
In the following days, the media almost all fell into a hot discussion and even debate about whether I was suitable to act, whether I should act, etc. Basically, the argument was half to half. Some said it was good, thinking that with my current popularity, if a great movie was added, it would undoubtedly create a new superstar. As for the bad ones, it was more about the professionalism of the movie. Although the newspaper was still very polite to me and did not sarcastically sarcastic to me, it still kindly reminded me, "Compared to the profession of film actors, Chen should still continue to work as a film company boss. Because film actors are still too professional for a boss."
