The national goddess of Korean entertainment

What a bumpkin who has never seen the world!

Hearing Li Meihua's exaggerated cry, Su Qi complained in her heart.

When I saw Xu Zhiyuan's neither humble nor overbearing greeting, and a sincere and enthusiastic but not flattering smile, I looked up to Xu Zhiyuan again.

Although the assistant was new to the world, the master was very generous, and only with such an attitude could he be worthy of his status as the actress of Berlin.

She didn't have much dealings with Asian artists before, and when she was sent to assist Xu Zhiyuan, Su Qi was not very willing.In her impression, even female stars who are very popular in Asia have not reached the status of real big-name stars in Hollywood.

Kong Li from China, with the prestige of the queen of the three major international film festivals, went to Hollywood alone, but he was never a big name in Hollywood.Even Liu Yuting's reputation in the United States is not as high as that of the native Chinese, and he doesn't get more money than her.

This is the current situation in Hollywood. Among the oriental stars in Hollywood, only Bruce Lee is the most famous. He has been dead for decades, and he will not divide the status and salary of the living. What's the big deal about being popular.

As for the living ones, even Li Jie, who also made his way to the world in Hollywood with his real skills, although he has also played a leading role, he can only condescend to make way for the real big names.

Cheng Long, another kung fu master, is well-known in Hollywood and has starred in all of them. However, most of his films are joint venture films, and the focus of his career is not entirely on Hollywood.

No matter where you are, there will be crowding out, especially in Hollywood.It's really not that easy for a person of yellow race to become popular here.

However, Xu Zhiyuan also has an advantage. Hollywood is far more tolerant of mixed-race people than purebred yellow people, such as Jessica Alba, Vanessa Hudgens in "High School Musical", "Superman" The Christian Kreuk in "The Prequel" are all successful precedents.

If Xu Zhiyuan can become popular with "Inception", she may gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, but it depends on her performance in this drama.

Not knowing that Su Qi was watching her all the time, Xu Zhiyuan didn't think too much about Leonardo at all.

Although Leonardo is a big name, Xu Zhiyuan's first thought was to learn something from him, just like those seniors in Korea.

Also born as a child star, Leonardo has participated in the filming of TV series since he was 5 years old. In 1990, he made his official debut with "Growing Pains". In 93, he was only 19 years old and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Two years later, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for "Basketball Diary" and became one of Hollywood's new movie stars. In 96, won the best actor in Berlin with "Romeo and Juliet".

The next year's "Titanic" made him "the box office bomb at the end of the century", which became popular all over the world and truly ranked among the big names.

"How to Get Away with Murder" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, "The Aviator" won the Golden Globe Award Best Actor, "The Infernal Affairs" and "Blood Diamond" brought double nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, as well as Oscar nominations, and the next year's "Revolution" The Road was also a Golden Globe nomination.

It can be said that since Leonardo's debut, he has received the most nominations among his peers, but unfortunately, his luck for winning awards is not good. In the 20 years since his debut, he has only won one Golden Globe Award winner and one A Berlin actor.

However, the lack of awards does not prevent him from being regarded as one of the best acting actors of this century.

For Xu Zhiyuan, Leonardo's acting skills are exactly what she wants to learn and possess.

In front of Leonardo, she smiled directly and said, "I want to be you!"

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Leonardo blinked, and after a while, he seemed to finally understand what she said.

"It's a real honor to be your target."

Because of the photographer's greeting, Leonardo stood up, greeted with a smile, and walked over to take pictures first.

Joseph came over and bumped Xu Zhiyuan with his shoulder naturally.

It can be regarded as cooperation before, and the two are really acquaintances.

"You really didn't say anything wrong? In my imagination, when seeing Leonardo's beauties, they would usually say—ah, I want to be your woman! Even if it's a rumored girlfriend, go immediately The rhythm of the headlines! You are really good, just become Leonardo?! I am afraid that if you really gain ten kilograms, you will cry..."

"Joseph!" Gritting her teeth and staring at Joseph, Xu Zhiyuan snorted twice: "I'm not an ordinary person, I'm an ordinary person!"

After she finished gritting her teeth, Joseph smiled.

Touching her affectionately, he smiled and said, "Seriously, Xu, what I like most about you is that you really come to work."

"I'm not here to work. What did Nolan ask me to do?" Pushing Joseph with a smile, Xu Zhiyuan actually knew exactly what Joseph meant.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. There are too many people who want to earn fame and fortune with their own capital. To them, work is only incidental, and personnel matters are more important.This is true in South Korea, and even more so in Hollywood.

Xu Zhiyuan understands these things and understands what those people do. To be honest, she doesn't care or hate it. It's just someone else's choice. She just needs to keep her heart and be herself.

Not only to Leonardo, but also to star directors like Nolan, she also has the same attitude.

When she met the big names of the same crew later, her attitude didn't change at all.

Willing to make friends, but not trying to please, willing to learn, but will not harass other people's normal work.

This kind of attitude, coupled with fluent oral English, made Xu Zhiyuan get along well with the colleagues in the crew very quickly.Especially Ken Watanabe, who is also from the East, the actor who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "The Last Samurai" has become another Song Kanghao.

But the person closest to Xu Zhiyuan is Joseph, who is similar in age, and then Emma Thomas, one of the producers, and Marion Cotillard, another heroine from France.

This French beauty just won the Golden Globe Award, Caesar Award, Oscar, and British Academy Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop last year with "La Vie en Rose".

Because the Caesar Award and the British Academy Award are also called the French Oscar and the British Oscar respectively, the media said that Marion was the first actress to win three "Little Golden Men" with one film.

For Xu Zhiyuan, the friendship with Marion is due to the fact that she can speak French. Although she is not absolutely proficient, she can still handle daily conversations. In addition, the two of them are the only actresses in the crew. It will naturally come together.Although there is a gap in age, Seo Ji Won's maturity made Marion laugh and say, "You can't think of her as a young girl."

This is the view of many people in the crew. Although occasionally she is playful like a teenage girl, but most of the time, this young girl who is only 20 years old really has a maturity that does not match her age.

However, this is not seen in Hollywood or in the entertainment industry. Basically, stars who are born as child stars are more precocious than their peers.

At the beginning of July, just as the crew members were still holding script seminars, making final adjustments, and preparing to start filming, the crew finally officially announced the final cast.

Most of the actors were not surprised by the media. As early as last year, there were rumors that Leonardo had taken over Nolan's new film.

But obviously, there is really an unexpected new face in the lineup this time.

Young, beautiful, and fresh, but for Hollywood, it is synonymous with not being famous.

Soon, some media dug out who this newcomer who did not belong to Hollywood was.

Oh, it turns out that this is the girl in the monster movie "Han River Monster" released in the United States a few years ago, and the queen of Berlin last year.

This title is indeed in line with the status of the luxurious lineup of this big production, but why did Nolan choose an Asian actor who has no box office appeal to play this role that should be a double heroine in terms of screen credits.

That's a risk for any commercial film.

Nolan was very calm, and when asked about this question by the familiar media, he just laughed: "I think Xu is worth the risk—not that she is the best actress among the auditioned actresses, but I think she is the most suitable ——that’s all…”

After the cast was announced, Allen called Xu Zhiyuan, congratulated her frankly for this opportunity, and laughed, "Really, you did a good job of keeping secrets. Since you are going to be based in Hollywood, you must find an opportunity to get together." , with Shailene."

Naturally, Xu Zhiyuan would not refuse such an invitation. For her, a group of like-minded friends is indispensable if she wants to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Compared with Hollywood's curiosity, such heavy news really caused a sensation when it was transmitted back to South Korea.

When Xu Zhiyuan left Korea and went to Hollywood, some media said that Xu Zhiyuan stayed away to avoid disaster.

Even if Kim Dae Jong once said that Seo Ji Won went to Hollywood to make a new movie, no one believed it.Most media reports tend to be forced to leave Korea for Seo Ji-won.

Such news made many intellectual fans feel depressed.Although Seo Ji Won left a message on her blog saying that it will surprise everyone soon.

But there are still fans who are not determined and start to switch to passerby fans.Fortunately, on the official website of Zhifan, after several incidents of resignation and membership, most of the remaining intellectual fans are firm Zhifans, and there is no commotion. On the contrary, many Zhifans are waiting for what Xu Zhiyuan said to be "surprised" .

And now, this "shout out" is finally here!

As soon as the breaking news was ignited, the Korean people were shocked. Everyone had a newspaper, and everyone was talking about it that day:

A Korean actress joins a big Hollywood production and takes on the leading role——Seo Ji-won, the best Korean star in Hollywood in recent years!
