Chapter 1038 1138. Kung Fu Fan

It is impossible for Hollywood stars to come to China just to audition. Although this is the main purpose of their trip, the time they spend in China is undoubtedly a good opportunity for them to make money.

There is no time to discuss long-term contracts, but some short-term business activities are completely fine.

For example, Brad Pitt made a full two million US dollars in just two days, all of which were paid for attending business events. Countless domestic manufacturers waved checks, just begging these Hollywood big stars to help their products stand on the stage once.

The stars are also happy to do so. After all, who doesn't want to make money? It's even happier to make money easily.

In order to invite these Hollywood big names, these manufacturers not only wrote huge checks for remuneration, but also treated them to top-notch treatment, five-star hotels, various banquets, and they would definitely do whatever these stars asked for.

For a time, the headlines of the entire Chinese entertainment section were occupied by these Hollywood stars, and all day long was news of them running around the country for commercial performances.

Of course, there are also some clear streams among them.

Like Foy, Nie Wei kept his promise and really found a professional tour guide to take Foy around Kyoto. Foy's family has been playing around Kyoto in the past few days. When Nie Wei sees the little girl again, he always has the illusion that her face is rounder. During the chat with her, he also knows that she has been doing well in recent days.

"I found that I fell in love with Chinese cuisine. Note that it is authentic Chinese cuisine, not the sweet and greasy Chinese cuisine in the United States." Foy said to Nie Wei happily.

"Then you should come to China more often to film and travel around the mountains and rivers of our Chinese motherland. You should know that there are more than 60,000 kinds of Chinese cuisine. Even if you eat one dish a day, you can't finish it in your lifetime."

Foy opened her mouth wide, leaned back, and looked at Nie Wei in surprise, obviously frightened by the number of "60,000".

In fact, Nie Wei didn't know how many kinds of Chinese cuisine there were. This number appeared in a Korean program in his memory. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but Nie Wei was sure that Chinese cuisine must have the most varieties of cuisine in the world.

Of course, Nie Wei came to Foy today not to talk about food.

After a day of thinking, Nie Wei had made a decision. He wanted to choose Foy as the young actress of the heroine of his new movie.

Of course, Nie Wei would not give a clear result now, but in the conversation with Foy's mother, Nie Wei intentionally or unintentionally asked about Foy's schedule and asked how much the other party hoped to get. This hint was enough for Foy's mother to understand the approximate result.

When Foy's mother enthusiastically sent Nie Wei away, the other party obviously understood.

Nie Wei was not afraid of Foy's mother talking out loud, after all, he had not made any promises.

Nie Wei left the hotel where Foy stayed, and then came to the hotel where Keanu Reeves stayed. Unlike Foy, this big brother has been staying in the hotel since he came to Kyoto. He didn't take commercial performances like Pitt to make a quick buck, nor did he have fun like Foy.

He hid in the hotel room. It is said that even the meals were delivered to the hotel room. In the middle, except for his agent who would go in and out of his room, he even refused the cleaning lady who wanted to come to clean the room.

The advantage of this is that it eliminates the harassment of reporters. Among these Hollywood artists who come to China, Keanu Reeves is relatively famous. Many reporters want to take pictures of him, but after a few days, there is no result.

On the first day, dozens of reporters gathered downstairs of the hotel where Keanu stayed, but three days later, there was no one here. After all, they had already figured out Keanu's "homebody" attribute, and knew that waiting here was a pure waste of time.

The agent was both headache and helpless about Keanu's behavior.

He has been following Keanu for more than ten years, since Keanu was still a newcomer. He has witnessed Keanu's glory because of "The Matrix" and accompanied Keanu through many ups and downs in life. Since those tragic things happened, Keanu has also changed from a sunny and handsome boy to a more profound one.

Ten years ago, Keanu loved to play, was a frequent visitor to nightclubs, and was a master of picking up girls, but ten years later, he is a senior otaku, and the only normal hobby may be martial arts.

"Keanu, do you want to go to Songshan Big Buddha Temple?"

"Or let's go to Taihe Mountain. Don't you like martial arts? I heard from the staff of Huaxia that all their martial arts masters come from there."

Keanu, who was playing games, put down his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Why do you have to run so far? I have made an appointment with Nie Wei to go to Chengshi Martial Arts Hall together in the afternoon. He told me that he would let me see what real national martial arts are."

"Why don't I know!?" Michael exclaimed in surprise. He didn't know when Keanu had such an agreement with Nie Wei.

Keanu smiled and explained, "Just now."

"Did Nie Wei take the initiative to invite you?" Michael asked hurriedly, but Keanu's answer disappointed him. It turned out that Keanu took the initiative to ask Nie Wei about Kung Fu, and Nie Wei recommended him to Chengshi Kungfu Hall.

"But it's okay, Keanu, you may not like what I'm going to say next, but I still want to remind you to try to get closer to Nie Wei. Even if this cooperation is unsuccessful, as long as we maintain a good relationship with Nie Wei, our trip to China this time will not be in vain."

Michael said earnestly that he got a piece of news yesterday, but he had not told Keanu Reeves because he was afraid that he would be sad.

Because he knew that Keanu liked the role of this audition very much. He had clearly understood this point since he came back from the audition that day and talked to him for a long time, as excited as a child.

But what Michael couldn't bear to tell him was that Pitt and his damn agent had secretly gone to see Nie Wei.

Although Michael didn't know what the two sides talked about specifically, as a top agent of CAA before, Michael was very familiar with CAA's set.

But even if he was familiar with Michael, he couldn't stop it. After all, the benefits that CAA could promise to Nie Wei were beyond his reach. Although he had some power in Hollywood, he was far inferior to a behemoth like CAA. Although it was in a bit of a decline at present, a lean camel was bigger than a horse, not to mention that CAA was far from being lean.

Michael thought pessimistically that this role might not be available to Keanu.

After all, Keanu was inferior to Pitt in terms of fame and background.

"If it was The Matrix, our Keanu would definitely crush that pretty boy." Michael thought angrily, but thinking this way was probably just Ah Q spirit, seeking self-consolation.

But Michael also knew that Nie Wei, who even CAA had to use his connections to, was obviously valuable. Even if he couldn't cooperate this time, maintaining a good relationship with Nie Wei would be a gain, so he said this, which was also a comforting idea of ​​barely drinking soup after not being able to eat meat.

"Don't worry, Mr. Nie and I get along very well." Keanu didn't know what Michael was thinking, he just answered according to his feelings.

Although he was 20 years older than Nie Wei, the communication between the two was quite compatible, especially in martial arts.

It was a boring conversation. Keanu originally just wanted to find out more detailed information about the male protagonist, and undoubtedly mentioned the aspect of national martial arts. After all, since starring in The Matrix, he, who has one-eighth of Chinese blood, has developed a great interest in kung fu.

What he didn't expect was that Nie Wei really had a deep understanding of national martial arts.

Keanu still clearly remembered what Nie Wei said when he talked about Chinese martial arts. It was like opening the door to a new world for him, and gave him a deeper understanding of kung fu.

That's why Keanu asked Nie Wei to see the real Chinese martial arts.

Nie Wei's arrival made Keanu very happy, and he couldn't wait to drag Nie Wei to the Cheng's martial arts school he mentioned. Michael had a headache watching from the side. Keanu, who had been staying at home for too long, was obviously not good at socializing. How could he go to a martial arts school without even inviting someone in?

Not to mention that this was a matter in China, a country of etiquette, even in the more casual and direct United States, it was very rude.

When Michael was about to remind Keanu to be polite, Nie Wei agreed with a smile: "Of course no problem, how about we set off now?"

"Great, Nie, I can't wait to see the national martial arts you mentioned."

Keanu, who was so excited that he didn't even care about lunch, was soon taken to Cheng's martial arts hall by Nie Wei. As soon as he entered the door, Keanu was shocked by the scene of hundreds of teenagers practicing boxing together.

"There are about 2,600 students in Cheng's martial arts hall now. This is the main hall. There are branches in Mingzhu City and Jinmen. Let's go. I'll take you to the third floor, where the national martial arts are really taught."

The Cheng family, who had received Nie Wei's call a long time ago, waited on the third floor for a long time. When they saw Nie Wei and others coming up, they directly led a group of people to a small practice room.

Cheng Zimo's elder brother Cheng Zi pointed at Keanu and asked his younger brother quietly, is that the big star?

"That's him. He's very interested in Kung Fu and asked my master to bring him here to see it. I'll show him how to do it and shock him." Cheng Zimo replied with a smile.

"No problem." Cheng Zixiong patted his chest and answered confidently.

Just at this time, Nie Wei turned around and waved at the two of them. Cheng Zixiong immediately walked over.

"Zixiong, this is Keanu." Nie Wei first led the two to introduce themselves to each other, watched them shake hands, and then continued: "Keanu is very eager for Chinese Kung Fu, so I want to bring him here to see real Kung Fu. You can show him something casually later."

"No problem!" Cheng Zixiong replied, then walked aside and took out a set of protective gear and threw it to Keanu.

Keanu was at a loss with the protective gear, and Nie Wei explained to him that although Chinese martial arts also have routines, it is most convenient to see real Chinese martial arts through actual combat.

Michael, who was standing by, was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Although he didn't know if the man in front of him was just a show-off, just looking at Cheng Zixiong's 1.9-meter-tall body, he felt that being slapped by such a man would definitely be very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is that Keanu is almost 50 years old and is no longer a young man. If the other party accidentally fails to stop and breaks Keanu's bone, he will really cry.

Thinking of this, Michael hurried forward and wanted to stop Keanu from playing, but after listening to Nie Wei's words, Keanu was very excited and grabbed the protective gear to wear it. Even if Michael persuaded him, he would not listen.

"Don't worry, Michael, Zixiong knows his limits. I guarantee it with my reputation." Nie Wei stopped the worried Michael and assured him.

"Mr. Nie, I believe you, but I'm afraid of what might happen. You know, Keanu is already 48 years old, and his body can't stand a serious blow. Please tell that gentleman to be careful, Mr. Nie." Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Michael hurriedly asked Nie Wei.

Nie Wei nodded and agreed, and told Cheng Zixiong again in front of Michael.

Unlike when he first entered the city, Cheng Zixiong's momentum was full of confidence at this time, and the whole person seemed more oppressive. After all, as the head coach of the martial arts school in Kyoto, he managed thousands of students, and naturally he would breed extraordinary momentum.

Seeing Keanu put on the protective gear, Cheng Zixiong waved at him and motioned him to come over.

Keanu walked over excitedly, and before he asked Cheng Zixiong what he was going to do, Cheng Zixiong suddenly jumped forward and crashed directly into Keanu's arms. The next second, Michael widened his eyes in horror, watching Keanu fly back and fall to the floor.

"Oh my God, oh my god!!!" Michael ran to Keanu in a panic. He was going crazy. He looked angrily at the Chengzi bear that suddenly attacked him while checking Keanu's condition.

Keanu stared at the ceiling blankly, which scared Michael. He kept shaking him, thinking that he was paralyzed.

A few seconds later, Keanu sat up, and his beloved Michael sat on the ground, staring at Keanu blankly.

"Hahahahahaha." The scene burst into laughter, and the two brothers of the Cheng family laughed undisguisedly, because Michael had just glared at them several times.

"I'm fine, nothing happened." Keanu stood up, shook his shoulders and legs, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his body. The reason why he was in a daze just now was because he didn't understand why he fell.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stop Keanu, telling him to forget it and leave this dangerous place.

But before he could even open his mouth, he saw Keanu running towards Cheng Zixiong with excitement. His eyes were shining. Michael felt that even with a hot beauty in front of him, Keanu couldn't be so excited.

Michael patted his forehead helplessly, and his heart suddenly felt very tired. At this moment, I don't know what Cheng Zixiong said to Keanu over there, but Keanu turned his eyes to Nie Wei with fiery eyes.

Thank you for the generous reward from Fantasy Paradise.
