From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 19

"How old are you this year?

Who else is in your family?

What is your education level?

In short, if possible, tell me everything about you as much as possible. This is very important! "Arthur took a sip of wine and looked at Xie Yi seriously.

Xie Yi put down the wine glass and saw the seriousness in Arthur's eyes. He knew that this might be the job of an agent, so he followed Arthur's words and replied, "I'm 21 years old this year. I was born in 1980 and lived in New York before that.

I came to Los Angeles more than a year ago and met Peter by accident. After that, I acted in "The Lord of the Rings". After that, I acted in "The Fast and the Furious" by Universal and "Legally Blonde" by MGM. "

"As for my family, I haven't seen my father since I was a child. My mother passed away when I was 13. After that, it was my mother's lawyer who took care of me until I was 18."

"As for my education level, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I've never been to school. I've always been taught by a tutor, so I might not have it."

In fact, Xie Yi still hid one thing, that was the fact that the original owner had autism.

However, only the original owner's mother, lawyer, and nanny knew about this. Even the original owner's tutor only thought that the original owner might be introverted and didn't like to talk. After all, the original owner was very good in all his subjects. Now that it was him, he naturally couldn't have autism.

"I'm sorry, I might have reminded you of something bad. It's just that it's the job of an agent to understand artists. I have to know everything about you. Only in this way can I solve problems quickly and accurately in the future."

Arthur listened to Xie Yi's calm statement with some guilt. After all, he didn't think that Xie Yi's previous experience would be so bad.

"It's okay, I'm not as miserable as you think. After all, my mother still left me a large inheritance. Even if I don't enter Hollywood, the money is enough for me to spend for the rest of my life." Xie Yi heard Arthur's apology and said faintly.

He wasn't the original owner, so he couldn't understand if the original owner was sad about his experience. But in the original owner's world, other than the desire for maternal love, there was only painting left, Xie Yi guessed, thinking of the scene he saw when he first came to this world.

Looking at Xie Yi's cold expression, Arthur couldn't help but imagine the little Xie Yi alone in his room after his parents passed away. He couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Afraid that it would trigger Xie Yi's bad memories, Arthur changed the topic.

"Why did you want to become an actress in Hollywood?"

"Because I want to be loved by people," Xie Yi replied calmly, making it hard for people to tell that this was his idea.

"Then what is your goal?" Arthur continued to ask.

"To become an international superstar," Xie Yi replied. However, after some thought, Xie Yi added, "The most popular kind!"

"What about the award?

Don't you want to be an Oscar winner? "Arthur asked with a teasing smile.

"The award doesn't matter to me, I just want to be the most popular star among the audience."

In fact, what Xie Yi wanted to say most was that he just wanted to get the power of faith. As for the award, what did it have to do with him?

If it weren't for the power of faith, he probably wouldn't even enter this circle, let alone whether he liked it or not and won an award.

Hearing Xie Yi's reply, Arthur widened his peach blossom eyes slightly. He had never seen anyone say so bluntly that the Oscar didn't matter to him.

After all, the Oscar for actors is just like the Nobel Prize for scientists.

The Oscar is a symbol of an actor's acting experience. Even actors who have been in the circle for decades can't be as indifferent as Xie Yi.

The artist he signed is really a maverick, Arthur thought silently.

"Then do you know that winning an award may make you more popular? You have to know that there are always some people who only talk about awards, especially people like you who are good-looking."

"Really?

If that's the case, then I'll work harder to win the Oscar! "

Xie Yi looked indifferent. He didn't know that if his words were heard by others, Xie Yi would be labeled as arrogant. Do you think that the Oscar is a cabbage that can be easily won?

Even those old actors in their forties and fifties dare not say that they can win the Oscar. You, a young rookie actor, are boasting shamelessly that you can win the Oscar if you work harder? Do you think the Oscar is yours?

However, Xie Yi didn't think so much in his heart. He thought that if winning the Oscar could make him popular with the audience, then he could get a little more power of faith. As for the process, Xie Yi, who didn't know the difficulty of winning the Oscar, naturally didn't know what modesty was. What's more, he had the system, so he didn't have to worry about his acting skills.

"Uh, all right."

Arthur suddenly felt that Xie Yi seemed to have the ability to choke people to death. He couldn't count how many times he was speechless in this short afternoon. The most important thing was that Xie Yi didn't know it. Even if he was angry, Xie Yi didn't know what he was angry about.

After dinner, Xie Yi drove Arthur's car back to his house with Arthur because Arthur didn't know the way.

"So, how do you know Peter?

It seems that he admires you very much. "

On the way, Arthur was bored, so he asked casually. However, he was really curious. After all, no matter how he looked at it, Peter and Xie Yi didn't seem to be the same kind of people.

"Peter is my neighbor," Xie Yi replied unhurriedly while driving.

"That day, I was sunbathing in the yard when Peter went out to take out the trash. Then, we met. After that, Peter was filming 'The Lord of the Rings'. It just so happened that there was a role suitable for me, so I went to film it. You know what happened after that."

"What a coincidence. You actually live in the same neighborhood as Peter." Arthur expressed his surprise after hearing Xie Yi's words.

Hearing Arthur's surprise, Xie Yi smiled. It was really quite a coincidence. At that time, he was still worried about the audition. In the end, the director fell from the sky and chose him to play the role of Legolas. It was really lucky.

"We're here." Xie Yi saw the villa in front of them and reminded Arthur.

"You actually live here. It seems that you're living a good life." Arthur got out of the car and looked around.

This was one of the most famous properties in Hollywood. It could be seen that Xie Yi really didn't lie to him. Although his parents were gone, his material life was still guaranteed.

"Of course. Do you still think that I'm a poor little guy who has nothing?" Xie Yi heard Arthur's words and teased him.

"Of course not!" Arthur quickly denied. However, he didn't need to say what he was thinking before.

After parking the car, Xie Yi led Arthur into the room.

To be honest, this was the first time someone stayed at his house after he came to this world. However, because he bought enough daily necessities before, he didn't have to worry that his agent didn't have anything to use.

"You bought all these paintings?"

As soon as Arthur entered the living room, he was attracted by the paintings hanging on the wall. Because of his father, he had a good understanding of Eastern things. Naturally, he knew how good the paintings hanging on Xie Yi's wall were.

"No, these are all painted by me." Xie Yi was preparing new toiletries for Arthur. He just happened to hear Arthur's words and replied faintly.

Because of his previous life, he was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. A few paintings were naturally not difficult for him. With just a few strokes, it was an ink landscape painting.

Originally, he didn't want to do it himself. However, the decorations he bought didn't suit the style of the decoration. Therefore, he had the idea of painting a few paintings and hanging them up.

"Then you are really versatile." Arthur listened to Xie Yi's words and praised sincerely. Sure enough, it was because they just met and weren't familiar with each other.

This was also the reason why Arthur insisted on staying here with Xie Yi. After all, there was nothing better than staying with a person for a period of time to understand a person.

"It's okay."

After listening to Arthur's words, Xie Yi was a little ashamed. His paintings were far from his senior brother's. His senior brother's paintings were amazing. It was a pity that he would never see them again. Thinking of this, Xie Yi's mood unconsciously became a little depressed. Even though he had been in this world for more than two years, he still preferred the life in his previous life.

"This is your room. It was just cleaned a few days ago. There is a bathroom and a balcony inside. You can do whatever you want. I will go get some toiletries for you." Xie Yi led Arthur to a guest room on the second floor and said.

"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you." Arthur looked at the decorations in the room with great interest and waved his hand at Xie Yi.

It wasn't until the next day when Arthur came back with a suitcase that Xie Yi knew that this person was staying at his house. Sure enough, he didn't want to be polite with me. Xie Yi secretly criticized in his heart.

"The movies you made before haven't been released yet, so for now, we actually don't have much choice. After all, you are still a newcomer with no fame in Hollywood." Arthur sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and said leisurely.

"So?" Xie Yi looked at Arthur, who had a sloppy look, and smiled.

"That's why I said you were really lucky before. You were always chosen by the director by coincidence."

Speaking of this, Arthur put down his legs, bent across the table and leaned his head in front of Xie Yi. "I really suspect that you have a lucky buff. That's why everything went so smoothly, and you even met me." In the end, Arthur sat back and pointed at himself with some narcissism.

Over the past few days, he had done a thorough check on Xie Yi's information. Naturally, he knew how Xie Yi, an unknown newcomer, had been chosen for the three films he was working on.

Needless to say, "The Lord of the Rings", Legolas was just a vase in the movie. He didn't need much acting skills, and because of the director, Peter, it was not surprising that Xie Yi was chosen.

However, it was really luck that Xie Yi was chosen for "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Blonde". After all, Xie Yi's competitors for these two movies were not weak. It was really a coincidence that Xie Yi was chosen.

During the audition for "The Fast and the Furious", Xie Yi was competing with Paul Walker, who had several movies under his belt. Logically speaking, Xie Yi had no chance of winning. After all, compared to Paul Walker, who had played the lead role in several movies, Xie Yi only had "The Lord of the Rings", which had not yet been released. Moreover, he was only a supporting role in the movie. Anyone who saw it would choose Paul Walker, who was safer. However, in the end, Paul Walker and the crew did not agree on the salary, which benefited Xie Yi.

As for "Legally Blonde," there was no doubt that Xie Yi would be chosen by Arthur. After all, this was a female lead movie, and the male lead had so few scenes. Xie Yi's acting skills were good, his appearance was good, and his salary was low. It was not surprising that he would be chosen.
