244 【Ambition to Win】

"Oh?!" Ye Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What kind of movie is it?"

"It's an action blockbuster with an investment of nearly one million dollars. They need a young, acting action actor." Zou Wenhuai explained with a smile, "I think this role must be suitable for you."

"It sounds suitable." Ye Jin nodded, "But I want to read the script first."

"There is no script for the time being." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand, "I think you have to pass the audition first before you can see the script."

Ye Jin was stunned and nodded.

This kind of thing happens often in the film and television industry.

Some of them have no complete scripts to watch before filming.

For example, Wang Jiawei's movies do not have a complete script, and he wasted a lot of money on it as he was thinking about filming them.

When filming "East Evil and Western Poison", it had been filmed for three or four months. However, Wang Jiawei suddenly asked Leslie Cheung and Liang Chaowei to change roles, and the film he had filmed before was basically invalid. When filming "The Legend of Ah Fei", Andy Lau made Andy Lau go to the Kowloon City and filmed with a group of mice. Andy Lau finally overcame psychological obstacles and filmed it, but in the end, Wang Jiawei deleted the scene completely, which made Andy Lau so angry that he refused to work with him anymore.

Some are for confidentiality and will not give a complete script.

For example, the famous American drama "Game of Thrones" is famous for killing people, and the protagonist can kill them as well. Therefore, [who will receive a lunch box next time] has become the most concerned thing for drama fans. In order to prevent spoilers, the scripts that the actors get are incomplete.

Some of them are because the actors are low in status and are not qualified to read the entire script.

Ye Jin firmly believes that he should be the second category.

...

"Then when will I leave for the audition?" Ye Jin asked.

"Tomorrow!" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"So urgent?" Ye Jin was stunned. He had just returned from the publicity in Taiwan, but he didn't expect to go on a long trip again. And he went to Asiatica, which was much further away than Taiwan.

"I only gave me one audition opportunity, and it's scheduled for tomorrow." Zou Wenhuai explained, and then reminded him, "Mr. Ye, we have finally won this opportunity. I hope you can seize it."

"Yes, Mr. Zou, I will definitely work hard." Ye Jin nodded.

After returning, Ye Jin told Zhao Yazhi the news.

"Wow, really?! Go to Warner for an audition?" Zhao Yazhi was also surprised when she heard this, "Brother Jin, you are so great!"

"Don't be so happy that early, I'm just going to audition." Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "I don't know if he will be selected."

"I believe you will definitely choose it." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile.

Ye Jin smiled slightly, and he also hoped that he would be selected.

He didn't even make any statement when he was cheated by Jiahe. He just wanted to do this opportunity today.

...

The next day, Ye Jin took Mai Jiashang and boarded the plane to America together.

The reason why he brought Mai Jiashang with him was because he had lived in Amerika for nearly ten years. Not only did he speak English, but he also had sex in Hollywood. He knew Amerika well.

Ye Jin's English skills are now only at the level of understanding twenty-six letters. With such poor language skills, I went to America. Not to mention finding Warner Pictures to audition successfully, I'm afraid I can't even get out of the airport.

"Old Mai, teach me some common sense about America. I will sharpen my guns in the face of battle, and I will be shining even if I don't feel good. Don't show my timidity at that time." Ye Jin asked Mai Jiashang on the way.

His understanding of America is entirely based on Hollywood blockbusters and American dramas. But art comes from life and is higher than life. Just like in reality, there are not so many bewitchers who cut people down on the street, and there is no arms group and police fighting each other.

Those Hollywood blockbusters and American dramas may not be the real Amerika. If he uses it and learns the same trick in movies and TV dramas, he may make a big joke.

"Well, Mr. Ye, what aspect do you want to know?" Mai Jiashang nodded and asked immediately.

"It's about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and dealing with people." Ye Jin said. It's useless to learn something else for the time being, just learn some basic things first.

"No problem." Mai Jiashang smiled, and then explained to Ye Jin. "In America, people of different classes have different dressing standards..."

...

After fifteen hours of flight, the plane finally arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.

Such a long journey made Ye Jin, who was different from ordinary people, couldn't feel it. Sitting all the way, the back and legs hurt, was even more tiring than shooting fifteen hours of fighting scenes.

"If the audition is not passed, then the crime will be in vain." He complained to Mai Jiashang.

"Mr. Ye, do your best and leave your fate." Mai Jiashang comforted, "It is not easy for Chinese people to get through in Hollywood. It is even more difficult to make a fortune. You must be mentally prepared for failure."

"Anyway, I will do my best." Ye Jin nodded.

He also knew that Chinese people were unable to survive in Hollywood.

Not to mention that the Hong Kong film market is only so big now, even in its previous life, the mainland has become the second largest film market in the world. Many Hollywood movies have achieved much more box office results in the mainland than in the local area of ​​America.

At that time, it was not easy for Chinese to get into Hollywood. Only a very small number of people could get tickets to Hollywood.

So this time he came to audition, there was a high chance of failure.

But he doesn't want to mention this matter now. Even if he has a one-in-a-thousand chance, he wants to give it a try.

...

After passing the customs and leaving the airport, the two met Xu Hongguang, the manager of Jiahe Company's Asia Meriga office.

Zou Wenhuai is more ambitious and more executable than Xiao Runze. In the first year after Jiahe founded, he added an office in Yameli, striving to release Jiahe's movies.

After several years of operation, the office has achieved great results, and many Jiahe movies have been introduced to America. However, they are only screened in Chinatown and Black People Community Cinemas. At present, they cannot enter the mainstream theaters of America.

Despite this, after several years of hard work, the influence of Hong Kong films is gradually expanding. Jackie Chan once said that before he went to America to film, America already had many fans. Those fans basically met him through non-mainstream theaters and videotapes.

"Mr. Ye, welcome to Yameica." Xu Hongguang said with a smile.

"Manager Xu is so polite. I am very happy to see you." Ye Jin smiled.

"Okay, let's go." Xu Hongguang said after the greetings.

Ye Jin nodded and took a bus to Burbank with Mai Jiashang.

The headquarters of Warner Bros. Pictures is located in Burbank, Los Angeles.

Burbank people call it [the world's media capital], the famous NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation), ABC (America Broadcasting Corporation), Disney Pictures, DC Comics, etc., have also set up their headquarters there, which can be said to be quite prosperous.

After an hour's drive, the three finally arrived at Warner headquarters.

Looking at the towering office building and thinking about the upcoming interview, Ye Jin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Chapter completed!
