After Drake watched Bruce Lee's kung fu movies when he was a child, he developed a strong interest in action movies and decided to join the entertainment industry. He wanted to be a screenwriter, director and even producer to make exciting action movies.
He never thought about becoming an actor. He felt that he had no talent for acting and became nervous as soon as he entered the camera.
He has indeed watched a lot of Hong Kong movies. The crew can easily get movie tapes, and several of them watch them together during breaks. He especially watches a lot of Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat movies, which are in Cantonese with English subtitles.
After watching too much, Drake can still say a few awkward Cantonese sentences. "I have been in decline for three years, just waiting for an opportunity. I want to take a breath, not to prove that I am more powerful than others, I want to tell others that I have lost
I must get the things back."
Yang Jian couldn't help but smile. "Although I don't know if what you said is right, your Cantonese is definitely better than mine."
Drake laughed and said: "I like Hong Kong actresses Rosamundkwan and Chingmyyau very much. Their eyes are big and sexy. It's a pity that they don't come to the United States. It would be great if I had the opportunity to meet them."
Yang Jian asked about the movie and found out that Drake was talking about Rosamund Kwan and Qiu Shuzhen. He only knew their English names and could not pronounce their Chinese names. In addition, he admired Jackie Chan's acting skills very much. It was not because Jackie Chan was risking his life in acting, but because he acted
Chun Li God restored.
Yang Jian couldn't help but agree with this, after all, there would be no more Chun-Li after Jackie Chan.
He likes Drake very much. He is a true fan and he likes Chinese people and Chinese culture.
The chef of this restaurant is Chinese, but the Chinese food he cooks is not that authentic.
The cold skin is not bad, the recipe is similar, the key is to use the best sesame sauce and chili oil.
When Naomi brought two large pancakes and fruit, Yang Jian refused in her heart. This was clearly a dead-faced egg pancake! And it was so big, it weighed more than a kilogram by visual inspection. Domestic pancakes with two eggs were not as good.
It will be so big.
He opened it and took a closer look, and found that there was no shortage of ingredients. Chopped green onion, ham and four "I am the legendary fruit" fried dough sticks, and the sauce was sweet noodle sauce and hot sauce.
He tasted it, and it tasted surprisingly good. The dough was tough, but it had a tough and slightly sweet taste, which made it very appetizing when paired with the sauce. This should be an improved version to suit American tastes.
.
While eating, Derek and Yang Jian chatted about entertainment again.
He worked on many crews and had good luck. The second movie he worked on was Michael Bay's "Bad Boys". Michael Bay was just a new director at this time. The investment in the movie was not high, and it was a box office hit. Explosive Bay showed
Astonishing potential.
Drake also worked as an oddball on a large-scale production crew and invested an estimated US$100 million in "Batman Forever." This bad movie has been released, and the only highlight is that Nicole Kidman is too beautiful.
Michael Bay's new movie "The Island" is about to start filming, and next week Drake will go to work on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. He is very far away from his dream, but joining a big crew can gain experience and learn things. He doesn't make much money.
It’s enough to support life, and the crew also takes care of the food.
The two talked about basketball again.
Drake is not only a kung fu fan, but also a senior basketball fan. Because his parents are both basketball fans, he has been watching NBA games since he was very young and has been to the games many times. He has feelings for the Sonics.
After coming to Los Angeles to develop, he also paid attention to the SuperSonics. After Yang Jian's first game, he bought the SuperSonics' new No. 21 jersey. Now that Yang Jian has signed the jersey, he will not wear it and is ready to collect it.
"After you join, I think the SuperSonics have a chance to win the championship this season. Can I be friends with you? I think you will be the most powerful Chinese in the future, more powerful than Bruce Lee." Drake's eyes and tone were both
Very sincere.
He admires strong people. "Although you don't know Chinese Kung Fu, you are the most handsome player in NBA history. I can't think of any reason why you are not popular. Everyone will vote for you in the All-Star Game."
"We are already friends, let's leave each other's phone numbers." Yang Jian said with a smile.
When he makes friends, he never cares about the other person's background or anything else, he only cares about whether he will show off his temper. Before his rebirth, he was extremely ordinary and could not be more ordinary, and he did not have the habit of classifying people.
He has never worried about making money in this life, and he has never thought about making friends for profit. The key is the good character of the other person.
He can see that Drake is a true fan of his and admires him very much, and that's enough. This guy can go to the hotel door and squat in front of the hotel, which is something ordinary fans can't do.
I just don’t know if he’s a gay. Did I agree too early? Lipes is a gay. He looks a bit like Lipes... No, I’m overthinking it. How can there be so many gays in the world?
While serving other customers, Naomi would look in Yang Jian's direction from time to time. Yang Jian left an indelible impression on her with just a few words, not because he was an NBA star, but because of his recognition.
Yang Jian was already well-known and still longed for recognition, but an actress like Naomi longed for recognition even more. Yang Jian recognized her at a glance, thought she was a star and praised her for her beauty. She was so moved that she wanted to cry.
After "Tank Girl" was released, she became a little afraid of auditions. This movie did not become her qualifications, but a dark history that she did not want to mention. People in the industry said it was a super bad movie, no
He is willing to use her to play an important role, as if casting her will cause the movie to fail.
She failed to audition for an important supporting role this year, and she didn't even get a chance to be a "flower vase." Her career is no different from before filming "Tank Girl". She can only play small roles in movies and TV series, without lines or close-ups.
Even her current situation is even worse, because she has played the second female lead in a "big-budget" movie worth 25 million, and she feels very uncomfortable when she plays a small role again. She feels like a failure and simply doesn't want to live anymore.
She also wanted to make friends with Yang Jian, but she didn't know how to ask, so she was a little envious of Derek.
She is now just a restaurant waiter for a salary-earning family. She has no medical insurance, can't afford good food, and can't even pay the rent if she doesn't work. Yang Jian is an NBA supernova, and her future is limitless.
Moreover, Yang Jian is 19 years old this year, and she is already 27 years old. They are not from the same world at all, and the gap is too big.
If I open my mouth, I will definitely be regarded as a frivolous woman by him and despised by him, right?
Naomi was thinking wildly and didn't talk to him again until Yang Jian finished her meal and was about to leave. Yang Jian paid the bill with a smile and paid a tip. She could only say "Welcome to visit next time" as usual.
Where could there be a next time? He was going back to Seattle after playing away games. She could only watch him leave, and then let out a long sigh.
Perhaps, my personality is destined to fail me in becoming famous. I don’t want to give up my self-esteem and ask for help even if I don’t have the ability. I don’t even have the guts to make friends with people. I’m really a failure.
In fact, if Naomi had been bolder, she wouldn't have been so bad. At this time, almost no one knew that Naomi and Nicole Kidman were high school classmates and were good friends when they attended North Sydney Girls' High School.
Naomi came to Hollywood alone and was too stubborn to contact Nicole. She felt that they couldn't be best friends if their careers were too different, so she was embarrassed to come to her.
After leaving the restaurant, Derek asked Yang Jian: "What kind of waitress do you like? I think you can go out and ask her out. I think she is also interested in you."
"How did you figure it out?" Yang Jian was stunned for a moment.
"You always look at her secretly, it's too obvious. She is indeed very beautiful and has a good temperament, but I'm afraid she won't be popular in Hollywood." Drake commented.
"Why?"
"Because of her unrelenting personality, many male and female stars in Hollywood sleep with her. She wants to talk to you but doesn't dare to speak. Most of the time, she goes to auditions for acting stupidly. She speaks with a British accent, and her English is not as good as yours. Why is she so popular?
?”Drake has a pair of piercing eyes.
He didn't go to college and has been in the industry for more than two years. He has no success in his career and knows a lot.
Yang Jian did not deny it, and said with a smile: "After hearing what you said, I am more interested in her. You are right, I want to get to know her, but I don't know what time she gets off work and whether she is free."
"About 9 o'clock in the evening. This shop mainly sells breakfast. There are not many people at night. You can treat her to dinner." Drake suggested.
