From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 25

"I understand. That's great," Xie Yi said excitedly.

What did it mean that he could do whatever he wanted outside of the plot?

It meant that he could train inside the script space.

After all, the world inside the script space was not something that the modern world could compare to. Other than modern urban scripts like The Fast and the Furious and Legally Blonde, the world inside the script space that he had accepted, such as The Lord of the Rings or Another Life, which he was preparing to audition for, had a much higher level of spiritual energy than the modern world. This was especially true for Middle Earth in The Lord of the Rings, where the spiritual energy was even richer.

Unfortunately, he could only enter each scenario space once, and he had to audition for the scripts that he wanted to audition for. However, this situation was much better than his previous situation. At least he had another way to train.

In the next few days, Xie Yi stayed at home and played in the script space. As he experienced the plot and the emotions of the characters, he made use of the time outside of the plot to train hard.

Of course, the final result was to Xie Yi's satisfaction. He was only one step away from building his foundation.

When Xie Yi exited the script space, it was the day of the audition. However, there was still some time before the audition, so Xie Yi went to take a shower and changed into the clothes that he was prepared for the audition. Then, he sat on the sofa and waited for Arthur to come and fetch him.

Due to the increase in his training, even though Xie Yi had spent quite some time inside the script space, Xie Yi was still very energetic. After all, he was also training inside the script space. Furthermore, because the spiritual energy inside the script space was thicker than outside, Xie Yi felt even more energetic.

After Arthur received Xie Yi, he saw how relaxed Xie Yi looked and could not help but ask, "How are your preparations?"

"Not bad. I'm ready for the audition," Xie Yi replied calmly.

Xie Yi said calmly. He had not stayed in the script space for nothing. With the memory of the Duke Of Albany, he was confident about the audition.

As expected, Xie Yi used the style of his time in the script space, perfect etiquette, acting skills, and his recent popularity to successfully obtain the role of Leopold, the Duke Of Albany.

It had to be said that the release of "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Charming" really brought a lot of popularity to Xie Yi, and this was also reflected in his audition. He got the role without much challenge, and the director and producer treated him as if they were familiar with him.

Indeed, fame was the best pass in this circle.

Xie Yi was enlightened after the audition.

Just like the Xuanyuan Continent where he lived in his previous life, cultivation was the foundation of a cultivator, and fame in this circle was the biggest external reliance of an actor.

"Another Lifetime Love" was shot in Brooklyn, New York, and this meant that Xie Yi could return to his home in New York, the place where he lived when he first came to this world, the home where the original owner lived for more than ten years.

Xie Yi still remembered how he looked when he first came to this world. If it were not for his mental strength, he would have died with the original owner. After all, the original owner's vitality had been exhausted.

"Another Lifetime Love" was scheduled to start shooting on September 3rd, so Xie Yi returned to New York early.

However, this time he did not come alone. He also brought an assistant, Karl, that Arthur hired for him. According to Arthur, this assistant was versatile. Not only could he do the work of an assistant, but he could also work as a part-time driver and bodyguard. And to match, this assistant's salary was also much higher than that of an ordinary assistant.

However, when Xie Yi looked at Carl's tall and sturdy body, as well as his nimble and attentive hands, he felt that the salary was worth it. After all, Carl was really a very attentive and capable assistant.

Back home in New York, looking at the strange yet familiar scene in the yard, Xie Yi unconsciously felt that things were still the same, but people had changed.

Just two years ago, he was still a respected Dacheng Stage Taoist Lord in the Xuanyuan Continent. The path he planned for himself should be to accept a talented disciple like his master. When he could support the entire sect, he would cultivate in seclusion without any distractions. But this did not include coming to this world to become a mortal and experiencing cultivation again. It was just that the world was unpredictable. Even if he was already a Dacheng Stage cultivator, the person with the highest cultivation in the entire Xuanyuan Continent could not predict and stop it.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Karl looked at Xie Yi standing still in front of the yard door and could not help but ask with some worry.

In Karl's view, this gentleman was really a very good employer. Although he was a little quiet and might be regarded as difficult to get along with if he did not get along with him for a long time, Karl found that this gentleman was really unexpectedly easy to get along with. He never had any requirements, as long as he did his job well. He was completely different from the popular Hollywood stars with a bad temper.

"Nothing, just thinking of the past."

After hearing Karl's words, Xie Yi withdrew his thoughts, turned to look at Karl and said, "Let's go in."

"Oh, okay."

Karl obediently followed Xie Yi into the house. He could see that Xie Yi was not in a good mood. As an assistant, sometimes he needed to enlighten the artist, but sometimes he needed to give the artist a quiet space. Xie Yi was obviously the kind of person who did not need to be comforted, so he should not disturb him at this time.

Because Xie Yi cast a small maintenance spell on the house before going to Hollywood, the things in the house were as clean and tidy as before Xie Yi left. There was no dust at all. This saved him and Karl from cleaning.

"Karl, this is your room. There are daily necessities in the cupboard. You can look for them." Xie Yi handed a room key to Karl.

"Okay, sir." Karl thanked him and went into the room to tidy up.

Xie Yi also returned to his room after Karl went in. There was still a week before the shooting of "Another Lifetime Love", and Xie Yi could arrange it himself during this week.

Brooklyn was not far from Manhattan, where Xie Yi now lived. It was only a ten-minute drive, and they needed to pass through the Brooklyn Bridge described in the script.

The Brooklyn Bridge spanned the East River of New York, connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan Island. It was officially opened on May 24, 1883. At that time, it could be said to be the longest suspension bridge in the world. It was also the first bridge built with steel in the world. When it was completed, it was regarded as the eighth miracle after the Seven Wonders of the World. It was also known as one of the seven epoch-making engineering wonders of the world during the Industrial Revolution.

The first scene of the "Another Lifetime Love" crew was the speech at the Brooklyn Bridge building ceremony. It was during this speech that the Duke Of Albany, Leopold, discovered Stuart, which triggered the following series of stories.

Time, about time, someone once said that it was the fourth dimension of space. … What will happen in the future can only be guessed, and what will happen in the past can only be recalled …

The chief designer of the Brooklyn Bridge was giving a thought-provoking and passionate speech on the high platform. Everyone below was listening attentively, but not everyone could understand what the designer on the stage was talking about. Even if they could understand it, their eyes were still unconsciously attracted to the man, and they couldn't help but secretly look back at him.

That person was as dazzling as the light, as unreachable as the bright moon in the sky, but it attracted people to explore and discover him. That person was the Duke Of Albany, Leopold, the god-like man. He was handsome, tall, elegant, and talented. He was the dream lover of all the upper-class New York ladies, and they longed to be watched by him.

Leopold was holding a charcoal pencil and sketching something in a sketchbook. Upon closer inspection, it was a sketch of the Brooklyn Bridge. As if he had some inspiration for the speech, Leopold raised his head, smiled, and politely said to the equally elegant old man next to him, "It's very insightful, isn't it?"

"Very accurate." The old man nodded in agreement.

Leopold and the old man looked at each other and smiled, then turned back to pick up the charcoal pencil in his hand again. Just as he was about to add a few more strokes, he suddenly noticed a strange man not far from him.

The man's clothes were very strange, and Leopold had never seen that style before. The man was also holding a very strange thing in his hand, and his actions were very vulgar.

Leopold looked at the man for a while and then stopped paying attention to him. Maybe he was just a strange person!

He turned his head and continued to look at the speech in front of him. However, a very light but slightly mocking laughter attracted Leopold's attention again. It was still that strange man!

Leopold frowned slightly, handed the sketchbook in his hand to the attendant beside him, and walked toward the man.

"Cut, very good, Allen, you acted very well!"

James Mangaard praised Xie Yi with satisfaction. In the picture, Xie Yi was like a real Duke, handsome and elegant.

Just by looking at how many female staff members on the set were infatuated with Xie Yi, one could see how charming Xie Yi's outfit was.

James believed that when the movie was released, the box office of Xie Yi's movie would not be too low. After all, Xie Yi only played a small role in "Legally Charming" not long ago, and so many young girls watched the movie twice and thrice because of him. So the box office of this movie with Xie Yi as the main lead would not be too low!

James thought with confidence.

To be honest, before taking on this movie, James was a little nervous. After all, this was his first time directing a romantic movie. One had to know that not all directors were good at making romantic movies, and James was also worried that his first movie in this genre would be a flop. So before he saw Xie Yi's scene, he was still very worried.
