From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 12

"Uncle William, I've been busy for the past two days, so I wasn't in town," Xie Yi explained after hearing William's words.

"No wonder I only saw Ilha and not you," William said in realization.

"Syrup again this time.

Muffins and Sachertorte? "William pointed at the various cakes in the shop and looked at Xie Yi with a smile.

"Yes, take more this time."

Xie Yi recalled Viggo Mortensen, Ilya, and Billy Boyd, who had a sweet tooth in the cast, and said to Uncle William.

"Okay."

William took a pair of tweezers that were specially used to hold cakes and waved them up and down. In a short while, two big bags were filled.

"How is it?

Is this enough? "William waved the cake in his hand and asked Xie Yi.

"It's enough, Uncle William," Xie Yi said after estimating that everyone had eaten enough.

In fact, the only ones in the crew who loved sweets were him, Viggo Mortensen, Ilha, and Billy Boyd.

The others like Ian didn't like sweets because he was old, Peter didn't like sweets, and Liv didn't dare to eat sweets because she was worried that she would get fat. Therefore, only the few of them who loved sweets ate a little more. Xie Yi wasn't worried about getting fat and ate sweets the most because they had the highest energy content. Therefore, after estimating the number of sweets, Xie Yi said with certainty.

After buying William's sweets, Xie Yi carried two bags of sweets to the hotel where the crew was staying.

"Allen," Viggo Mortensen had always woken up early and called out when he saw Xie Yi coming in from outside.

"Vigor, you went for a morning run again."

After being together for more than half a year, Xie Yi naturally knew Vigor's habits, not to mention that Vigor was wearing sportswear and was panting slightly as he spoke.

"Yeah, tell me, where have you been these two days? You didn't even call us!" Vigor put his hand on Xie Yi's shoulder and said with a smile.

Xie Yi nonchalantly glanced at Vigor's hand on his shoulder and resisted the urge to slap him away. If someone had dared to touch him so casually when he had just arrived in this world, he would definitely not tolerate it. However, it had been nearly a year since he had arrived in this world. Naturally, Xie Yi would not be so unreasonable.

What's more, Vigor was the one who had the most scenes with him in "The Lord of the Rings". Xie Yi spent most of his time with Vigor on set, so their relationship was relatively good. Therefore, even though Xie Yi was not used to being so close to others, he endured it.

"I didn't go anywhere. I just walked around New Zealand."

Xie Yi said calmly. He couldn't tell them that he had gone to Mount Cook, so he had to find an excuse.

However, this excuse was too lousy. Vigor knew that Xie Yi had said it casually. Vigor curled his lips and sneered, "Don't you have enough of New Zealand?

Peter took us around New Zealand. Although the scenery here is beautiful, I still miss the atmosphere of New York more. "

Hearing Vigor's words, Xie Yi looked at Vigor with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it. Please don't look at me like that. It makes me feel like I've done something terrible." Vigor couldn't stand Xie Yi's gaze, so he quickly took a step away from Xie Yi and waved his hand.

Xie Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Vigor's actions. He naturally knew that the crew couldn't stand his gaze. He did it on purpose just now. After all, Vigor had just mocked him.

[Host, don't you think you've changed a lot? It feels like the host is becoming more and more humane,] the system suddenly said in Xie Yi's ear.

"Is that so?"

Xie Yi replied casually, but in his heart, he had already agreed with the system's words. Humans were indeed social animals. With such a group of enthusiastic people around him, how could he not change?

After all, he was just a mortal who understood the seven emotions and six desires. Besides, even if he was an immortal, would he not change?

Xie Yi asked in his heart.

Xie Yi didn't understand, but there was no one in this world who could give him an explanation. Xie Yi put this matter to the back of his mind. The most important thing for him now was to focus on filming, earn the power of faith, and work hard to improve his cultivation!

Putting these useless thoughts to the back of his mind, Xie Yi lifted the dessert bag in his hand and said with a smile, "I brought desserts for everyone. Do you want to have a taste?"

"Of course," Vigor took the dessert bag from Xie Yi and smiled when he saw the cake inside.

The filming of "The Lord of the Rings" had been going on for seven or eight months. Even though the three-part filming of "The Lord of the Rings" was a huge project, more than half of it had been filmed in seven or eight months. In addition, although Xie Yi's scenes were almost all over the film, he didn't appear in many scenes. Therefore, after Peter announced that they would start filming for another month, and after Liv Taylor wrapped up her scenes, Xie Yi welcomed his last scene in "The Lord of the Rings".

This scene was almost the final battle scene with Sauron in "The Lord of the Rings". Xie Yi only needed to ride his horse and appear in front of the crowd. He didn't even need to say any lines. For the current Xie Yi, it was a simple task.

In less than half a day, Xie Yi had finished filming this last scene and ushered in the completion of his filming for "The Lord of the Rings".

The crew specially held a small banquet for Xie Yi. Of course, there were dishes but no alcohol. After all, Xie Yi had announced that he was free, but they still had to continue working hard for "The Lord of the Rings" tomorrow.

The next day, after bidding farewell to the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", Xie Yi didn't immediately return to Los Angeles from New Zealand. After all, not every place had such lively spiritual energy as New Zealand.

Xie Yi's current cultivation was at Qi Disciple Level 9. He planned to stay in New Zealand until his cultivation reached Qi Disciple Level 10 before returning to Los Angeles.

At this time, New Zealand had already ushered in winter. In addition to the heavy snow in the past two days, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white.

The temperature had dropped below zero degrees, and the cold air was threatening. However, all this was just right for Xie Yi.

Xie Yi, who had the Ice Spirit Root, was naturally not afraid of this little bit of cold. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In order not to look strange, Xie Yi still wore a down jacket.

After staying in New Zealand for more than a month, Xie Yi's cultivation finally reached Qi Disciple Level 10. There were a total of 12 levels in the Qi Disciple Level. After the Qi Disciple Level was completed, one would enter the Foundation Establishment stage. However, all of this was still a little far away for Xie Yi.

Therefore, after Xie Yi's cultivation reached Qi Disciple Level 10, without waiting for the system to urge him, Xie Yi decided to return to Los Angeles to continue filming.

"The Lord of the Rings" would only be released during the Christmas period of 2001. Only after the release of "The Lord of the Rings" would he be loved by the audience would he then gain the trust of the audience and obtain the spiritual energy needed for his cultivation. It was only June 2000, and there was still more than a year before "The Lord of the Rings" would be released. He could stay in New Zealand for more than a year to cultivate, but this kind of cultivation speed was too slow for Xie Yi. Therefore, he could only place his hopes on the system's method of obtaining the power of faith to cultivate. However, "The Lord of the Rings" alone was far from enough. He had to find a way to accept a few more shows.

Since he had already made up his mind, Xie Yi didn't stay in New Zealand any longer. He directly booked a flight to Los Angeles and returned to Los Angeles.

"Are there any movies suitable for me recently?" Xie Yi leaned against the sofa and asked the system, feeling rather bored.

It had been nearly a week since he returned to Los Angeles from New Zealand. However, none of the movie projects that the major film companies were preparing to launch recently were suitable for Xie Yi. In other words, even if the character was suitable, Xie Yi was not famous at the moment. Moreover, his only movie had not been released yet. Even if he had a beautiful face, the profit-oriented Hollywood producers wouldn't give in just because of Xie Yi's good-looking face. Therefore, Xie Yi was now so bored that he was about to go moldy.

[No, it would be great if the host was more famous. Now, the protagonists of these movies are all at the level of Tom Hanks. Even if the host were to compete, the host would have no chance of winning,] the system said somewhat regretfully.

"What about the supporting roles? It's not like they have to be the protagonists." Xie Yi asked.

[That's even less likely. The supporting roles in these movies are either old, ugly, or black actors. With the host's past, I'm afraid they won't even let you through the door.]

"Is it my fault that I'm good-looking?" Xie Yi raised his eyebrows.

However, even if it was wrong, he still liked it. After all, he liked beautiful women. He liked good-looking people too.

[Of course it's not the host's fault. Is it wrong to be good-looking?

It's just that the host's body is too good-looking. Hollywood movies are either indie movies that you can't understand or superhero movies. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't suit the host. It seems that we should take more roles that are just for show. It's easy to act and easy to be liked by the audience.]

The System sighed with a heavy heart.

[Eh?

MGM has just established a movie project. There is a role that the host is quite suitable for.]

"What?

Send the script to me. I'll take a look. "Xie Yi sat up straight after hearing the system's words.

"'Pretty Woman at the Bar'?"

Xie Yi looked at the name of the script and frowned. Based on the name, it seemed to be a female lead movie?

[That's right, host. This is a female lead movie. It's mainly about a blonde beauty named Elle who was dumped by her boyfriend who got into Harvard because of social prejudice. She worked hard and got into Harvard Law School. In the end, not only did she dump her scumbag boyfriend, but she also started her own career. In the end, she even got a heartwarming senior who helped her in both her career and love.

Although it sounds cliché, such a relaxed and funny style will be loved by the audience. Therefore, the host can try out for the role of Essen, the gentle senior who helped the female lead a lot. This character is very likable. Although he doesn't have many scenes, he can be considered an invisible male lead!]

[Moreover, this movie doesn't have a lot of investment. A good and cheap actor like the host has a high chance of being chosen.]

[Eh?

Universal has another movie project, 'The Fast and the Furious'?

Sounds very hot-blooded.]

When the System was checking the information, it suddenly noticed that Worldwide had released a new movie and was surprised.

In order to get timely information, the system connected itself to the internal networks of the six major Hollywood movie companies. That was why the system could get information about the major movie companies so quickly.
