Chapter 226: Wen Diesel

Chapter 226 Vin Diesel

Some people were born in Rome, while others were born as cattle and horses.

Hollywood, the dream land of young Americans, seems to never lack young people.

Therefore, it is impossible for so many young people to successfully realize their dreams.

So, in the process of chasing their dreams, how can they maintain their own lives?

Some people are lucky and can make a little money by playing tricks. Some people are more lucky and are attracted by rich women or rich people.

It may seem a bit humiliating to be seen like this, but it is better than making some more humiliating films.

Like Stallone, who made a small movie for $200 before he became famous.

Later, his "Rocky" became famous in one fell swoop, and the small company of that year also saw a business opportunity and changed the name of the film directly, simply called "Italian Stallion".

This is indeed an indelible stain on him, but it is not a stain either.

Man, when he desperately needs to live, when he needs that $200, there is nothing wrong with him.

Besides, it's not because he has the strength of his arms, in other respects...cough...

There are people who are really different.

…

The sun in California is really unbearable.

It is winter now, but in California, it seems that there is no winter at all.

The sun is still so blazing, just shining in the sky.

This made the man from New York very uncomfortable.

But right now, I have to do it if I don’t feel comfortable.

Yellow work shoes, vest, jeans, and a yellow hard hat.

Compared with the previous work, at least this one is much more stable now.

"Hey! Rookie, are you being lazy?"

"Fuck you!"

"Hahaha... You guy, with the face of going to prison, what do you want to do in Hollywood?"

"What? What can't you do?"

"I bet you'll go to jail."

"Fake U!"

"Haha... just kidding. However, you should really think about it, there are some small movies, you are really suitable."

"roll!"

"Why waste your energy on a construction site like ours with your physique, shoulders, arms, and pectoral muscles?"

“…”

"The girls in those movies, hey...enough! They all seem to be overcooked, I'm even worried that my hands are hard to grasp, but some of them are so **** fake, I bet, that kind of roundness It must be harder than a stone."

"Fake! Don't bet, you **** must have touched it before, that's why you understand it."

"Hahaha... well, seriously, does that short video of your kid really work?"

"I don't know, but there was news yesterday."

"Really? Fuck, you can still make movies like this? God is so unfair."

"Old John, you old bastard, if it wasn't for you who introduced me to this job, I would have done it a long time ago, do you know?"

"Haha... well, good luck, lad."

"Don't wish me to go to jail?"

"If you go to prison, it's really convenient, you don't need to shave your head."

"Fake!"

Shaved head and solid muscles, this is the hallmark of Wen Diesel.

And on the construction site, he was a good hand.

No matter what kind of construction site, no matter how highly mechanized it is, it still requires labor.

The United States is relatively better here. After all, houses are mainly made of wood, and wood is relatively light, but not so light.

Wen Diesel came to Los Angeles from New York. He didn't shoot "Italian Stallion" like Stallone, nor did he do his old job. He chose to join the real estate industry.

picked up the shovel at the construction site.

As for Old John, he was an old alcoholic.

That guy's eyes are cloudy, but he's not bad. Although he likes to joke, he's really helping him in this job.

Wen Diesel's old business is telemarketing... Well, it's okay to work in New York, but when he came to Los Angeles, he suddenly discovered that this place...

There are too many telephone sales.

As far as the current telephone sales in the United States are concerned, most of them are deceptive activities. The better is to fool people into buying stocks, which is often done by Wall Street.

The well-known Scientology, their main revenue is selling a so-called disease treatment device.

claims that our machines can cure any **** disease!

Scientology’s home base is in California, so…

Wen Diesel was tantamount to being dragged to the construction site.

It’s okay, if you don’t mix well, there is another job option.

Bodyguard.

He has done it a few times in New York before, and clients are very satisfied with him.

With his face, this big bald head, and this shoulder, he doesn't look easy to mess with.

Moreover, he also gives a mature feeling.

Don't lie, kid, you are in your twenties, you are clearly in your 30s and 40s!

This face makes it difficult for him to get a good role in Hollywood, but he can have an advantage in other industries.

Therefore, Wen Diesel is not worried about his future.

If Hollywood can't make it, then just go back to his hometown of New York, where he can do telemarketing, and he can also do bodyguards.

God can't starve a guy like him.

Vin Diesel is confident.

But, for my own movie…

In fact, many people don't know that a guy who looks as vicious as him has quite an artistic pursuit of movies.

When I was a child, I wanted to get a big ticket, but was caught by the lady who managed the theater. In the end, I taught him and showed him the script.

That kind lady is so kind.

Since then, Wen Diesel has become attached to drama. In fact, he has already appeared in some stage plays, and he has also played tricks in movies.

In the final analysis, it is still a trick.

In fact, he wanted to be a director.

This is not to say, he spent a very small amount of money to shoot a small short film.

Although is a very small amount of money, it is also his entire savings, about $10,000.

Will this short film be a success?

Will be your own Hollywood masterpiece?

I don’t know, but there was a director from Japan who wanted to chat with him.

This Japanese director... Anyway, I have to try it!

…

changed clothes and looked a little more decent.

With an uneasy mood, Wen Diesel came to a Chinese gathering area in Los Angeles.

walked into a small two-story building, and there was a sign outside the building, which wrote a traditional Chinese word 'dang'.

Vin Diesel really doesn't know what the word means, but I just find it interesting.

And when I got to a room, there was a sign outside the door.

"The Fast and the Furious" Extras Recruitment Office.

How does it feel like an audition?

Never mind, he politely knocked on the door.

Knock Knock Knock…

"Come in."

"Is it Director Iwata?"

There were two people sitting in the room, one was Takeshi Iwata and the other was a handsome guy.

Wen Diesel immediately recognized Takeshi Iwata because he knew that he was looking for a director from Japan.

I just didn't expect... This director looks more like a criminal than himself?

Iwata Courtesy: Are you martial?

Fortunately, this guy knows that it's rude, so he didn't say anything, but simply handed over his short video.

"your works?"

"right."

"What do you want to express?"

"It's a black comedy, the hesitation and loneliness of people in a big city."

"So profound?"

"more or less."

Iwata Takeshi was also very straightforward, and didn't talk too much nonsense with this bald muscular man.

looked straight at it.

Honestly, Wen Diesel is a little embarrassed.

It's like the composition written when I was a child was seen by others.

However, no matter what, your work must be seen by others.

What will be the result?

Ha... That handsome guy couldn't help laughing.

"…" Wen Diesel was a little embarrassed.

after

"This is rubbish."

Is that true? !

The bald villain had a twitch on his face.

You Japanese director!

You can call me ugly!

You can say that I look fierce!

You can even scold my bald head!

But you can't call my movies rubbish!

Originally wanted to scold him like this, but as soon as he saw the face of the other party that was more ferocious than himself, Wen Diesel scolded him.

Leave him alone for now.

But next.

"Do you know who I am?"

"A director from Japan named Takeshi Iwata."

"Don't you know who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival last year?"

"This…"

"Open your eyes and see, it's me!"

"what…"

"I know what you're thinking, but you must think I don't know how to appreciate it. I'm an idiot, and your film is crooked, right?"

"This... you, how did you know?"

"I can tell you clearly, this kind of thing can't be done, you want to be far behind!"

"That…"

Not to mention Wen Diesel, even Keanu Reeves on the side was dumbfounded.

Before, Iwata Takeshi told him that he would find him a powerful opponent.

And the villain in front of him, let alone, if the opponent is him... It seems that he can't beat him, but if he plays the opponent, it will probably be very interesting.

But Takeshi Iwata didn't tell any lies about his works...

But in fact, it can be seen that the villain in front of him is somewhat of a level.

At least there is a huge difference from his appearance.

Wait a minute, isn't this Wen Diesel somewhat similar to Director Takeshi Iwata?

It's all about the appearance, Keanu Reeves chose to shut up.

This is a courtesy.

And Takeshi Iwata taught Wen Diesel not to, the bald villain is about to become a good little cat.

"I have a movie now, I think you are very suitable for a very important role, this role is second only to the male lead, and even, it is very likely to become the male lead in the future."

These words are no less than a holy light to Wendysel!

but!

The Japanese director's devaluation of his work before is unbearable!

Although he is the director of the Palme d'Or, although he is famous, he can't insult his work like this.

"In terms of remuneration, I temporarily set $50,000."

Iwata Takeshi simply said a number, and then

"When will filming start?"

Vin Diesel, this big bald head, his vicious face is full of flattering smiles.

What?

Insulting your own work?

No, no, this is clearly Director Iwata's spur on himself!

He is a Palme d'Or winner!
