From Taoist Priest to Best Actor
Chapter 17
There wasn't much that Xie Yi had to reshoot. After all, he didn't have a lot of scenes in "The Lord of the Rings." Therefore, even though this part of the film was rather boring, Xie Yi still managed to complete his part in "The Lord of the Rings" within two weeks.
It could be said that Xie Yi's filming for "The Lord of the Rings" was finally complete. All that was left was the promotion work before and after the release of "The Lord of the Rings". However, it was still too early to talk about this. After all, there was still a whole year before "The Lord of the Rings" was expected to be released.
"What's this?"
Xie Yi asked curiously as he looked at the business card that Peter handed to him after shooting the last scene.
"You haven't found an agent yet, right?
I happen to know one here. This is his business card. He's in Los Angeles. You can look for him when you go back. At least he's one of the most reliable agents in Hollywood. He won't lie to you! "Peter said patiently, as if he was worried that Xie Yi would be cheated.
"Okay, I got it," Xie Yi put away the business card and looked at Peter seriously. He was touched and said, "Thank you!
Peter. "
"What are you thanking me for? I'm the one who brought you into this industry. Of course, I have to make sure that you won't be so stupid as to be cheated!" Peter said, patting Xie Yi's shoulder in embarrassment.
Xie Yi was speechless when he heard this. Did he look so gullible?
However, no matter what, he appreciated Peter's kindness.
After bidding farewell to the crew, Xie Yi didn't return to Los Angeles immediately. Now that Christmas had just passed, the whole of Wellington was still filled with the festive atmosphere. It was obvious that Los Angeles would be even livelier.
Now that he was alone, he felt a little lonely as he strolled along the noisy street. Xie Yi couldn't help but smile. He was really getting more and more melancholic. However, this feeling was surprisingly good.
Compared to the hundreds of years of tranquility in his previous life, he had changed so much in less than two years after coming to this world.
However, no matter how much he had changed, the only thing that remained unchanged about Xie Yi was his Dao heart. He could let go of everything that had happened in his previous life and treat this life as a form of training for himself. However, the system had better not disappoint him!
Otherwise … who knew what he would do?
[Don't worry, Host. The system will definitely not disappoint you. As long as you have the power of faith, the system will do its best to help you cultivate.]
Sensing Xie Yi's thoughts, the system shuddered. It would never harm its host.
Somehow, it felt that it could do anything, but it could not harm its host in the slightest. Otherwise, the consequences would be enough to turn it into ashes and cease to exist in this world.
Xie Yi originally wanted to warn the system. Now that it knew how to behave, he naturally didn't say anything more.
He didn't know the system's origin, nor did he know why the system wanted to bind him. He knew nothing about it, but it knew everything about him. However, his current cultivation still depended on the system. He couldn't do anything to it and could only live with it. However, he still had to warn it to prevent it from having any other thoughts.
[Host, are we going back to Los Angeles now?]
The system asked cautiously after being threatened by Xie Yi.
"No, we're not going back yet.
Anyway, we have nothing to do recently. Let's stay in New Zealand for a while!
The spiritual energy in Los Angeles is not as active as in New Zealand. Maybe we can break through another level here! "Xie Yi said to the system.
He wasn't talking nonsense. After half a year of accumulation, he wasn't far from breaking through to Qi Disciple Level 11. If he stayed here for a while, he might really be able to break through to Qi Disciple Level 11.
Just as Xie Yi expected, after they stayed in New Zealand for half a month, he finally broke through to Qi Disciple Level 11.
"Indeed, each level is more difficult than the previous one!" Xie Yi murmured to himself as he woke up from his meditative state.
"System, let's go back. Staying here won't be of much use to my cultivation!" Xie Yi got down from the bed and looked at the bright sunlight outside the window.
However, he didn't know when he would be able to successfully build his foundation. Qi Disciple Level was only to strengthen his body. Only when he reached the Foundation Level could he be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
On the second day after returning to Los Angeles, Xie Yi suddenly remembered the name card that Peter had given him before he left. It was a person called Arthur Ovitz.
"Ovitz?"
Xie Yi was no longer a rash kid who didn't know anything about Hollywood. Naturally, he knew what the name Ovitz represented in Hollywood. However, was it what he thought it was?
Xie Yi held onto the thin name card and fell into deep thought.
If his guess was correct, then Peter had really done him a huge favor!
Michael Ovitz was recognized as one of the most influential people in Hollywood. He was the one who created the current Hollywood creative entertainment agency — CAA.
He was a legend in Hollywood and was the leader of Hollywood's movie stars.
Although Ovitz had been on the decline for the past few years, and there were even rumors that Michael Ovitz was about to completely retire from the entertainment industry, the power of his connections was still not to be underestimated!
However, what was the relationship between this "Arthur Ovitz" and "Michael Ovitz"?
He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in this world that two people just happened to have the same surname.
However, no matter how Xie Yi guessed, he still stepped into the door of CAA.
Regardless of whether his guess was correct or not, he really did need to find himself an agent, and Peter's recommendation was definitely more reliable than his. After all, Peter had been in Hollywood for more than twenty years, and he had only been in Hollywood for a little more than a year.
"Hello, I'm looking for Arthur Ovitz," Xie Yi said as he walked to the front desk unhurriedly.
"Oh, okay!" The lady at the front desk heard Xie Yi's words and said in a daze.
However, just as she picked up the phone, she realized that she had made a mistake and awkwardly put the phone down.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The lady at the front desk adjusted her expression and smiled, revealing eight perfect teeth.
However, in her heart, she was thinking, This is bad!
She actually made a mistake in front of her idol. That's right, from the moment she saw Xie Yi, her idol had changed from Tom Cruise to Xie Yi. Who asked her to be a firm fan of his looks?
"Uh, do I need to make an appointment?" Xie Yi paused for a moment. He seemed to have forgotten about this.
"Can I give him a call now?" Xie Yi asked awkwardly.
"Of course!" The lady at the front desk suppressed the excitement in her heart and pretended to be normal.
Could this be a new artist signed by Mr. Ovitz?
If that's really the case, then it would be great. Then, she would be able to see such a handsome idol every day.
However, the lady at the front desk seemed to have forgotten that even if Mr. Ovitz really signed Xie Yi, she wouldn't be able to see Xie Yi every day. After all, artists wouldn't come to the company often if there wasn't anything important.
"Hello, Mr. Ovitz, I'm Alan Rodriguez!" Xie Yi walked to the side of the lounge and sat down.
"Alan Rodriguez?"
Arthur Ovitz repeated Xie Yi's name in confusion. Obviously, this name was unfamiliar to him.
In just a moment, Ovitz had already dug up information about this name from his memory.
"You're the actor Peter introduced to me," Ovitz said with certainty this time.
"Yes."
"Where are you now?"
Ovitz asked as he held the phone with one hand and rubbed his forehead with the other. Peter was an important client that he wanted to rope in. Their relationship was quite good, so he had no choice but to meet Xie Yi.
"I'm in CAA's lounge downstairs," Xie Yi replied.
"Then pass the phone to the front desk. I'll let her know and get someone to bring you to my office!" Arthur Ovitz said to Xie Yi after thinking for a while.
After Xie Yi hung up the phone, he was led upstairs by a staff member to Arthur Ovitz's office.
"Sir, this is Mr. Ovitz's office. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Okay, thank you for bringing me up!" Xie Yi thanked him.
"It's alright, sir. It's my duty. You don't have to thank me."
After the staff member who had brought him here left, Xie Yi tidied up his neat clothes, walked up to the door, and gently knocked on it.
"Come in."
A crisp male voice came from inside the room. Xie Yi could tell that it was the person who had spoken to him on the phone.
Xie Yi pushed the door open and entered. The person inside surprised Xie Yi.
Contrary to Xie Yi's expectations, the man in the room was dressed in a colorful flowery shirt. Even the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. His black hair was slightly curly, and his dark blue eyes revealed a hint of fatigue. Even so, it couldn't hide his handsome facial features. In short, this was a man comparable to most celebrities.
Xie Yi glanced at him and lowered his eyes to hide his surprise. Is this young and handsome man really an agent?
"Please have a seat," Arthur said to Xie Yi after waking up from the shock of seeing her for the first time.
He was a handsome man who had been praised since he was a child. Although he was stunned by Xie Yi's appearance, he quickly came to his senses.
However, what followed was a pleasant surprise. He was Arthur Ovitz. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he represented Michael Ovitz's son. He was the son of Michael Ovitz, who was recognized as a legend in the entertainment industry.
He admitted that the reason he was able to get to where he was today and even gain a foothold in CAA was because of his identity. After all, most agents of his age in CAA were still struggling at the bottom.
However, it was precisely because he was Michael Ovitz's son that he inherited Michael Ovitz's love and ambition for Hollywood. He looked forward to one day becoming one of the greatest agents in Hollywood like his father. Therefore, when Arthur saw Xie Yi, he smiled. Perhaps this person in front of him was his opportunity.
