Gao Yuanyuan seemed to be in a very relaxed mood after entering the room. Like everyone else, she introduced herself first and always smiled.
Yang Jian asked the first question in Mandarin: "How is your English?"
In fact, he didn't need to ask him to know that Gao Yuanyuan's English was not good, and she was complained about in the parallel world. She worked very hard to speak English lines when she was acting in a drama. It is said that she practiced for a long time, but she was very stiff.
Gao Yuanyuan answered truthfully: "My English is not good. I learned it in school and have never spoken to anyone."
There was no way she could hide her poor English, and it would be revealed as soon as the other party tried.
Her mentality is very calm. She just wants to try her luck. It doesn't matter if she doesn't get selected. She just entered the entertainment industry last year. Before that, she only shot commercials. She recently accepted her first movie "Love Malatang" and is currently filming.
middle.
She only has one filming experience, she often has sex, and has no confidence in her acting skills. She came to the interview to train herself and meet the legendary "God of War".
Gao Yuanyuan does not watch NBA basketball games, but has only heard of Yang Jian's name. Last month she went to the theater to watch "Fifty First Dates" and liked the love story very much. She is more like a fan of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian asked: "If you are selected, would you be willing to go to the United States for half a year to a year of training? This character is of Chinese descent, and it is impossible to speak English poorly. She has a lot of dialogues, and she also interacts with the handsome blond male protagonist
There are many rivalries.”
Gao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment. She thought she was just interviewing an important supporting actress, but it turned out to be the heroine. If she was the heroine, she would have tried her best to practice English well.
She was full of questions and blurted out: "Aren't you the hero?"
After she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth. She was an actor who came for an interview. How could she ask the examiner a question?
Of course Yang Jian would not be angry, and patiently explained to her: "This is a movie with two male protagonists. You play my sister in a lot of roles, and you don't just play one part. If you play this role, you have to stay in the United States often.
The good thing is that you can potentially become an international movie star."
Gao Yuanyuan was stunned again and asked cautiously: "Did I understand it wrong? Or are you planning to choose me?"
"That's right, you will be chosen for this role." Yang Jian looked into her eyes and smiled.
"Why?" Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened, a little confused.
Is it so easy to audition for a leading role in a Hollywood movie? Didn't I just come in? I didn't perform at all.
"Because you are pretty, I think if I have a sister, she should look like you." Yang said simply. Casting is like this sometimes, the right temperament is the most important thing.
You can practice your acting skills, but you can't practice your looks. Is the actor Jack Nicholson good at acting? You asked him to act in "The Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix" and try to play opposite Julia Roberts? He will directly become extremely evil.
Already.
Gao Yuanyuan's breathing became rapid, and he suspected that he was dreaming. He was so excited that he could not speak.
Jennifer Aniston interjected: "Although I don't understand Chinese, I can guess that you chose her, and you just praised her beauty."
"I'm just stating a fact. Can you say she's not beautiful?" Yang Jian smiled.
"Yes, she is the most beautiful among all the actors today." Jennifer sighed, feeling that the person in front of her was a threat.
Gao Yuanyuan is a girl who dreams of becoming a star, but she has not yet been overwhelmed by joy. "Well...can I go back and discuss it with my parents?"
Yang Jian nodded. "Of course. What do you want to discuss with them? Don't say that if they don't let you go abroad, you will always stay in China and act."
Gao Yuanyuan smiled bitterly and said: "No, I am willing to go to the United States for training, but will it cost a lot of money?"
She didn't know the price of goods in the United States, but considering the exchange rate between US dollars and RMB, the training fees there must be astonishing.
Yang Jian directly gave her reassurance. "There is no training fee. Some important movie roles in Hollywood sometimes require actors to start preparing half a year in advance. There are people who have participated in special forces training. It is much easier for you. Learn how to do it in the United States."
Just live, be able to speak English, and look like you just arrived in the United States.”
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt that Hollywood actors were too happy. "I'm not afraid of hardship. Just tell me what I need to do."
She had a hunch that as long as she played this role well, her life would become very exciting.
"Apply for a visa first, and then contact my assistant to fly to Seattle. Someone will tell you what to do next." Yang Jian has already planned everything.
The environment makes a person. If Gao Yuanyuan practiced English in China, no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to speak it well because there was no English-speaking environment. Many Hong Kong celebrities speak English very well because they can use it in Hong Kong.
One year of living in the United States and speaking English is equivalent to ten years of practicing English in China, because if you want to live, you can't do it without speaking.
Gao Yuanyuan was so happy that she didn't know where to put her hands. "Aren't you going to test my acting skills?"
"You don't have to perform today. As long as you are willing to go to the United States, you will be qualified. You can practice your acting skills in the United States. I looked at your resume. Your current performance must be very stiff and you can't act like a Chinese American." Yang Jian stood up and stretched out.
After a while, today's interview is over.
After seeing Gao Yuanyuan out and leaving her contact information, Yang Jian felt very accomplished.
"Fast and Furious" is a series he is going to star in, so he pays special attention to it and vows to make it better than the original version. The role of Mia is a very key character, and Yang Jian doesn't want to find someone who is not good-looking and not well-known.
People make a living.
After confirming that he wanted to star, Yang Jian decided to return to China to choose an actress. He already had a wide network of contacts in the United States, but it was difficult for domestic actors to make it in Hollywood, so he wanted to give someone a try.
He can change a person's life with just one decision. It's an amazing feeling.
He doesn't consider male actors at all. If he wants to be admired, he must admire women. Gao Yuanyuan fully meets his selection criteria and can represent the beautiful image of Chinese people. She has exquisite facial features and can change the stereotypes of Chinese people in Europe and America.
In the parallel world, the most popular Chinese-American actor is Lucy Liu. She is only 1.5 meters tall and 1.8 meters aura, but she is self-deceiving. Yang Jian only knows that she is a woman with high cheekbones, hanging eyes, and a freckled face.
What's even more frightening is that many Chinese people later boasted that Lucy Liu was attractive, and anyone who said she was ugly would be criticized. However, she was indeed ugly, and anyone who thought she was beautiful had a distorted sense of aesthetics. This is the result that Europeans and Americans want to see.
You see, the Chinese themselves admit that the people in our country are this kind of careless people.
Yang Jian has now changed Americans' impression of Chinese people, thinking that Chinese men are tall and mighty. He wants to change even more, so that in 20 years, Europeans and Americans can distinguish Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans at a glance.
The next day, Yang Jian and his team left Beijing and began to do activities in many places in the country. He was not doing it to make money or sell sneakers, but purely to satisfy the desire of fans in many places to see him.
At every stop, he will guide some young players to play basketball and perform dunks, which is a regular program.
While doing activities on the outdoor court, because the basket was not of a standard height, Yang Jian completed a forward 720-degree dunk, which made the fans exclaim. Someone recorded the video, and reporters interviewed him. This incident immediately made the news.
It will be discussed for a long time.
Yang Jian stayed in China for a month, doing activities all the time and not participating in the training camp of the Chinese men's basketball team. In an interview, he bluntly stated that he did not need to participate in the training camp to play in Asian-level competitions.
None of the Chinese players have any objections to this. Is it a training camp if Yang Jian joins? Is it just a trick to torture them?
Jennifer had a great time in China. Everywhere she went, there were always people arranging for them to go to tourist attractions and taste special delicacies from various places. She was also very relaxed when Yang Jian was doing activities, and no one paid attention to her.
It is currently impossible to watch "Friends" in China. Fans and movie fans don't know Jennifer. When the Chinese media reported the news, they kept talking about Yang Jian and did not mention Jennifer.
Jennifer was happy and enjoyed a month's vacation like ordinary people. Yang Jian and she did not show affection in public places. Those who didn't know better thought she was an agent or an assistant.
There will be many "Friends" fans in China in the future, and they will definitely be surprised that Rachel came to China in the 1990s...
