From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 13

"Hmm?"

Xie Yi's curiosity was piqued by the system's words. To be honest, just by looking at the name, compared to Beauty at the Bar, Fast and Furious sounded much better. At least it sounded a lot more manly.

"Fast and Furious is a new project from Universal. The director is Rob Cohen, an unknown director.

As for the plot, it's about a rookie police officer who goes undercover. Not only does he fall in love with the sister of a gang leader, but he also becomes good friends with the gang leader. In the end, he spares the gang leader's life. "

The system gave Xie Yi all the basic information about Fast and Furious in one breath.

"Even though it sounds very melodramatic, it's rare to see an undercover police officer being turned into a traitor!" Xie Yi held his chin and complained.

"But no matter what, at least this looks more reliable than Beauty at the Bar. Let's go with this one!"

"Wait, let's keep these two for now."

Xie Yi decided. Even though the system said that these two movies were suitable for him, it was not up to him whether he was suitable for the movie or not. He had to pass the audition first.

"By the way, when are the auditions for 'The Fast and the Furious' and 'Legally Blonde'?"

"The audition for Fast and Furious is on the 13th of June. The audition for Beauty at the Bar will be later. It's in October, so there's no rush."

"Then let's focus on Fast and Furious and enter the script space first," Xie Yi said to the system.

Without the experience of the script space, Xie Yi believed that his acting skills would still be trash. Even though his acting skills had improved after filming The Lord of the Rings, it was still at a beginner's level.

However, as long as he was in the script space, he would fit the character perfectly. After all, there was nothing better than experiencing the character's life in person.

Perhaps the top actors in Hollywood, such as Anthony Hopkins, Denzel Washington, Kevin Spacey, and Daniel Lewis, could use their own acting skills to reach this level, but they would not be able to fit the character as well as Xie Yi.

Therefore, the system really gave Xie Yi a big cheat, so that Xie Yi did not have to worry about his acting skills anymore.

Even though this was not Xie Yi's real acting skills, so what? Xie Yi did not ask for his acting skills to be extraordinary. All he asked for was for the movie to be loved by the audience. That was enough.

After Xie Yi stayed at home to experience Fast and Furious for a week, Xie Yi finally welcomed the audition for Fast and Furious.

The audition was held at Universal. Xie Yi got up early in the morning and left. After all, Universal was located in the western suburbs of Hollywood, which was not very close to where he lived now.

Blaine was the rookie policeman's name. However, unlike the average rookie policeman, Blaine was very handsome. Otherwise, he would not have been able to win the heart of the gang leader's sister.

However, Blaine's good looks were different from Xie Yi's stunning looks. To be precise, Xie Yi's looks were not very suitable for an actor. After all, not all roles were like Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, which required an actor to have a good appearance. An actor's good looks could make the role more perfect.

More often than not, the main character of a script would be required to have a good appearance. After all, an overly good appearance would distract the audience, which would be detrimental to the movie. This was especially true for a literary film that relied on the plot to win the movie.

Xie Yi had mastered all the racing skills in the script space, so he did not have to worry about that. In fact, that would be one of Xie Yi's strengths in the audition. However, in terms of appearance, Xie Yi could only hide it. After all, his appearance did not fit a rookie policeman.

Therefore, if one knew Xie Yi personally, they would definitely be shocked when they saw Xie Yi today.

This was because Xie Yi wore a black T-shirt, which was rare, and he had a thin layer of stubble on his face. Even his exposed arms and face had been painted a honey-colored by Xie Yi under the system's suggestion. In any case, he tried his best to fit the image of Blaine in the script. One could say that he was a complete reversal from the fair and handsome man from before. Even though Xie Yi was still very handsome, it had to be said that this Xie Yi looked more masculine and mature compared to before. At least, he was closer to the image of Blaine.

The audition time was 9 am. When Xie Yi arrived, there were already quite a number of people waiting. Xie Yi went to register with the staff and received a number tag. It was number 11.

Compared to the audition for The Lord of the Rings, there were much fewer people at the audition this time. However, the number of people auditioning for the role of Blaine did not decrease.

Even though Universal had focused their investment this year on films like Jurassic Park 3, The Mummy 2, Hannibal, and A Beautiful Mind, The Fast and the Furious still attracted a lot of attention. After all, the audition was for the male lead.

In Hollywood, if an actor had the experience of being the male lead, it would definitely be a great bonus for the next audition.

Therefore, even though The Fast and the Furious only had a budget of 38 million USD, and the director and scriptwriter were unknown, it still attracted a lot of attention.

After Xie Yi received his number tag, he sat on a row of chairs outside the audition room and silently thought about the plot.

The most likely scene for the audition was undoubtedly the scene where Blaine sneaked into Johnny's workshop and was discovered by Vince and Dominic.

The scene where Blaine was having dinner with Dominic after being given the final order by his superiors to find the culprit within 36 hours, and the scene where Blaine told Mia that he was a police officer.

These three scenes were the most likely scenes for the audition according to Xie Yi's analysis. Xie Yi was not worried about the audition. He was worried about other factors other than the audition.

"Hey, are you here to audition for the role of Blaine too?" Someone suddenly sat down next to Xie Yi and greeted Xie Yi.

Xie Yi turned to look at the smiling man sitting next to him. He was very handsome with curly dark blonde hair and a pair of gray-blue eyes. He was smiling at Xie Yi.

"Yeah." Because they were not familiar with each other, Xie Yi just nodded slightly.

"My name is Paul Walker. What about you?"

Paul Walker looked curiously at the boy behind him. Let's call him a boy for the time being. Even though the man in front of him had stubble, for some reason, he felt that the boy in front of him was definitely not old. He was like a child secretly wearing adult clothes.

In short, even though he knew that the boy in front of him would be his competitor in the audition, Paul Walker could not bring himself to be hostile towards him.

Hearing the enthusiastic self-introduction of the person beside him, Xie Yi looked at Paul Walker in surprise. Weren't they competitors now?

Even if there was no need to be at each other's throats for an audition, wasn't it normal for them to ignore each other like before?

However, one would not slap a smiling face. Since the person beside him wanted to build a good relationship with him, he would not reject him.

"My name is Alan Rodriguez. You can call me Allen." Xie Yi said to Paul Walker.

"Allen. You can call me Paul." Paul Walker heard Xie Yi's reply and immediately continued.

"By the way, Allen, how old are you this year? Why do I feel that you are very young?" Paul Walker asked Xie Yi with a curious look.

"Am I very young?

I am already 20 this year. "

Xie Yi heard Paul Walker's words and unconsciously touched his beard that had grown a little prickly.

"Of course, I am already 27 this year. You are seven years younger than me.

Hey?

I didn't feel it when I was looking at you from afar. Up close, you don't even have a single pore! "Paul Walker could not help but whisper to Xie Yi's face.

"Huh?

Your neck? "Paul looked at Xie Yi with a surprised look.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yi heard the surprise in Paul's words and lowered his head to take a look. Nothing?

The clothes are fine. The dye is also fine. It didn't fall off!

Previously, in order to prevent it from being exposed, he deliberately painted the lower part of his neck.

"Hehe, that, it's nothing. My eyes were playing tricks on me just now." Paul smiled awkwardly.

Could he say that he was curious about how you didn't have any pores on your face, so he got too close and accidentally saw your snow-white chest under your clothes, which was completely different from the skin on your neck? It would be really embarrassing if he said that.

After this episode, Paul Walker finally quieted down and stopped chatting with Xie Yi. Xie Yi thought that Paul was nervous because the interview was approaching, so he didn't think much about it.

"Audition number ten." Hearing the staff's shout, Xie Yi quickly pushed Paul Walker next to him.

"It's your turn."

"En?" Paul Walker looked at Xie Yi with a confused look. What happened?

"It's your turn to audition!" Xie Yi repeated the words just now.

"Oh!

Okay, I got it. Thank you, Allen. "Paul Walker looked at Xie Yi with gratitude.

"It's nothing. You go in quickly!" Xie Yi shook his head and looked calm.

"Okay, I will go in now."

Paul Walker quickly shook off the thoughts in his head. When he felt that he had shaken them off, he strode into the audition room.
