It is relatively better here in the United States. 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 to make a living. He didn't shoot "Italian Stallion" like Stallone, and he didn't do his old job. He chose to join the real estate industry.

Picked up a shovel at the construction site.

As for Old John, he was a very old drunkard.

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

Vin Diesel's old profession is telemarketing... Well, he was doing well in New York, but when he came to Los Angeles, he suddenly discovered that this place...

There are too many phone sales.

As far as the current telemarketing in the United States is concerned, most of them are deceitful activities. The good ones are tricking people into buying stocks, which is often done on Wall Street, and the bad ones are simply cults.

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

It is said that our machine can cure any fucking disease!

Scientology is based in California, so...

Vin Diesel was tantamount to being rolled to the construction site.

It doesn't matter, if you don't mix well, there is another job option.

bodyguard.

He has done it a few times in New York before, and the client is very satisfied with him.

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

Moreover, he also gives people a mature feeling.

Don't lie to me, boy, you are not in your 20s, you are clearly 34!

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

Therefore, Vin Diesel has no worries about his future.

If Hollywood can't survive, then simply go back to his hometown in New York, where he can do telemarketing and bodyguards.

God can't starve a guy like him.

Wen Diesel is full of confidence in this.

But, for my own movie...

In fact, many people don't know that a guy with a vicious appearance like him has quite an artistic pursuit of movies.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a big ticket player, but was caught by the lady who managed the theater, and ended up educating him and showing him the script.

That kind lady was so kind.

Since then, Wen Diesel has become attached to drama. He has actually acted in some stage plays, and he has also played tricks in movies.

But after all, it's still a trick.

In fact, he wanted to be a director.

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

Although it is very little money, it is also all his savings, about 1 US dollars.

Will this short film be a success?

Will it become his famous Hollywood work?

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

This Japanese director... No matter what, I have to give it a try!

……

He changed his clothes and looked more decent.

With apprehension, Wen Diesel came to a Chinese gathering area in Los Angeles.

Walking into a small two-story building, there was a sign outside the building, which said a traditional Chinese word for 'Dang'.

Vin Diesel really doesn't understand what this word means, but just finds it interesting.

But when we arrived at a room, there was a sign outside the door.

"The Fast and the Furious" extras.

How does it feel like auditioning?

Regardless, he knocked on the door politely.

knock knock knock...

"Come in."

"Excuse me, is Director Iwata?"

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

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

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

Courtesy of Iwata: Are you a martial artist?

Fortunately, this guy himself knew it was impolite, so he didn't say anything, but simply handed over his short video.

"your works?"

"Correct."

"What do you want to express?"

"It can be regarded as a black comedy, the hesitation and loneliness of people in the metropolis."

"Is it that deep?"

"more or less."

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

Just looked it up.

To be honest, Vin Diesel was a little embarrassed.

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

However, no matter what, my 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 that……

"It's just rubbish."

Is that really the case? !

The bald guy had a twitch on his face.

You Japanese director!

You can call me ugly!

You can say that I look fierce!

You can even call me bald!

But you can't say my movies are rubbish!

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

Let him go for now.

But then.

"Do you know who I am?"

"A director from Japan named Takeshi Iwata."

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

"This……"

"Open your eyes wide and look, it's me!"

"what……"

"I know what you're thinking. You must think that I don't appreciate it. I'm an idiot. Your movies are crooked, right?"

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

"I can tell you clearly, this kind of thing can't be done, you are far from it!"

"That……"

Not to mention Wen Diesel, even Keanu Reeves on the side looked stupid.

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

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

But Takeshi Iwata didn't lie about the... of his work.

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

At least there is a huge difference from his appearance.

Wait a minute, is this Vin Diesel somewhat similar to Director Takeshi Iwata?

It's all... a matter of appearance, Keanu Reeves still chose to shut up.

It's a courtesy.

And Takeshi Iwata trained Wen Diesel so hard, the bald guy was about to turn into a good kitten.

"I have a movie now. I think you are very suitable for a very important role. This role is second only to the leading actor, and you may even become the leading actor in the future."

These words are no less than a holy light to Vin Diesel!

but!

The previous Japanese director's belittling of his works is unbearable!

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

"In terms of remuneration, I tentatively set it at 5 US dollars."

Takeshi Iwata simply said a number, and then...

"When will filming start?"

Wen Diesel has a big bald head, and his fierce face is full of flattering smiles.

what?

Insulting your own work?

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

He is a Palme d'Or winner!
