Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

The decision to travel to China alone was one of the best decisions he has ever made in his life, and the fact that he didn't have to worry about other people's feelings gave him relief, which also helped him relax and make travel easier.

As a millionaire, he doesn't have to worry about money, which allows him to enjoy his travels, and he disguises himself well enough to avoid the dangers of the paparazzi.

Despite their rarity here and relative disinterest in him, he feels free in disguise than he does at home.

He can walk freely on the street without having to be on the lookout for anyone trying to take pictures of him, and there's nothing more relaxing than walking on an empty street with no paparazzi.

During his travels abroad, he was always careful to check the TV news or read the newspaper every day so as not to miss anything big happening in Los Angeles and Hollywood.

But after reading the morning newspaper yesterday, he realized that nothing major had happened since last week.

Even the media outside his studio headquarters in Los Angeles didn't have any significant newspaper coverage, and he decided to have a good time.

He wants to use this holiday to reinvent himself, he wants to leave his old image, he wants to show the world a whole new version of himself.

He knew the media would go after his stories again, but he didn't care about them anymore.

He just wants to live like he did before the paparazzi chased him everywhere, and that's what he really needs right now.

He felt he had a lot to explore, and he thought it was time to start doing so.

He's had enough of people who want to manipulate him and profit from him, and now it's his chance to start over.

He must rediscover his voice, be uninfluenced by others, and speak his truth.

After confirming that everything was correct at the hotel, he checked into his room, stored his luggage in the hotel room, and walked around Beijing.

As he walked down the street, he noticed that the city where his grandmother was born was very different from the American city, it was quiet and peaceful, no one bothered each other, there was no yelling or fighting, the people were friendly, everything was a feeling... Calm and pleasant.

It was as if everyone was having a good time and having a good time here, and he also felt calm and peaceful, and although he had never been to Beijing before, he seemed to be in the most comfortable place.

That's when he realized that maybe this was exactly what he needed right now.

This feeling of comfort and tranquility....

"Ahh "I've finally found my safe haven!"

he suddenly remembered what he had come here for: to escape the madness of Hollywood. He came here in the hope of starting a new beginning... Or maybe it's reinventing yourself. But now he wondered, can I even do that here?

He looked up at the sky and smiled at himself. "Well, no matter what happens, I'm going to have fun," he said, putting his hand on his cheek and rubbing it slowly as he walked.

"Let me see where this path will lead me today. Auditions

for the lead role in Ferris Buhler were underway, and Reileen had to sit in the casting director's chair to evaluate each performance individually, which gave her a headache.

While RedHub TV sent some standout actors to audition for the role, the people they sent were clearly leaning more towards a rougher, action-packed film than a fun-filled romantic comedy.

"Oh, and none of the auditions really stood out, except for Jason Wells. The rest are better suited to action movies than romantic comedies. Raeline complains to her friend Nick, who is happily sipping a caramel Frappuccino, enjoying his friend's plight. He's just here to support his friends. He didn't know what the casting of the film would entail. However, he is enjoying the slow torture of Reireen as she tries to politely turn down at least 50 actors from RedHub.

Jason Wells is an up-and-coming actor who made his debut a few years ago in a TV series about a high school play.

The show was broadcast on television and later moved to Goofy's streaming service.

Considering that he is still young in the industry, he is of the right age and has experience in playing teenagers.

"Well, on the bright side. This is the end of the list from RedHub. How many free agents did you call to audition?" Nick asked, looking over her shoulder and looking at her list.

"Just one, Keanu Reeves. She replied: "Looking at his file, he seems too old for the character." However, his facial structure and range of emotions, from the few clips he sent us at least showed that he was talented. "

Okay, I'll let Murphy send him in," Nick said and went out.

In less than a minute, the aforementioned man was standing in the center of his seat, looking at ease. However, Reelin could tell that there was a hint of nervousness hidden beneath his comfortable exterior.

"Well, Mr. Reeves, you've already read the script. Tell me what you think of the role you auditioned for and why you think you'd be a good fit for the role?" asked Raelin, as she also adopted a professional tone for the final audition.

"Well, my understanding of the character of Ferris Buller is a smug, charming, charismatic teenage hero and a master of the truant art. Ferris is also very attractive as he is disobedient and breaks the rules, but it is never really a problem. He was extremely innovative, as evidenced by the devices he designed to prevent people from being caught skipping school when they came to his house. He is the epitome of each of us who wants to skip school, go out into the world, and do something crazier than sitting in school counting down the clock until graduation and the last bell rings. I admit that he is older than the actor auditioning today, but I am confident that I will be able to portray him perfectly. Keanu Reeves said after a moment of contemplation.

Lei Lin nodded, her analysis of this character was still very accurate.

"At least he's in the right role," she thought, and she could tell that he was dressed to that effect. He has short hair that gives him an older-looking beard and a clean shave. He wears a plaid jacket and jeans. His shoes are casual sneakers. He looks a lot younger than his actual age.

"Yes, Mr. Reeves. You have a good understanding of the role. I want you to act out the scenes marked in the script. You have five minutes. She said, nodding at Nick and telling him to keep an eye on the clock.

Keanu spent a minute analyzing the script again, and all the promising actors were given a scene from the script, as well as a heavily edited version.

He turned to the extras on the set and sat down among them.

They sit in a booth in a fancy and almost empty open-air bar. Cameron's mouth opened wide in surprise, and Sloan was embarrassed and disgusted.

"How did she do it? One went one way, one went the other. Additional depictions Cameron said.

"She probably has schizophrenia," Keanu replied, acting as if he was looking at something amazing.

"Ferris, this makes me sick. It's true. I'm losing respect for you.

Keanu turned to her in surprise and asked, "Don't you think it's great that we came

in?" The extras twisted their faces in disgust and replied, "Who wants to go in?" "

For God's sake, Cameron looks like a toddler." I'm talking about a major achievement in false identification. He explained to her.

"I'm not interested in watching people shake their mammals. The extra reply was sarcastic.

"The point of view was good. But think about why she did it. Why she does it and you don't. Keanu replied.

"I'm not a bum. She replied in disgust.

"Maybe her life is falling apart. Maybe she's lost someone. A lover. Boyfriend. Parents. A child—" he explained to her, getting up from his seat.

"Stop. Railin's voice rang out.

After eating soy milk fritters at the hotel in the morning, Ian wanted to see the city that his grandmother often missed when he was a child, and walk the streets of her dreams for her.

Eating those soy milk fritters and pancake fruits every day has become a wonderful experience and a common habit for him, because—"Why not?"

he planned something that seemed to him to be a little enthusiasm that would make him feel excited and wanted since he came here.

Seeing men, women, children, and the elderly walk past him, the need to do what he wants to do is increasing, and if he is alone, Ian will scream at how he feels.

A fresh feeling of no judgment, people keep walking without even looking back at who he is, especially the little voice in his head shouting that he can do whatever he wants.

When he walked into the small theater, he met the receptionist, who looked at him with the same eyes.

Ian sat in the third row at the back, everyone was full, laughter, conversation, giggles, and excitement filled the theater.

The production is carried out by one of the best upcoming companies based in the United States, and just like every other production company, they have been striving to be the best production company in the industry.

The screen lights up to indicate that it hasn't started yet, and the crowd cheers with excitement.

Ian felt the hairs on his hands stand on end, and he wanted to take a look at it and know what was good or bad.

And so, the movie began.

"It's a man... Someone who just emerged from the cemetery?"

The initial instinct of a great movie becomes different as soon as the movie begins.

-

By the end of the film, the little girl trapped in a haunted house must get out, but not without any struggles.

In just an hour and a half, everyone saw how she went through hell and heaven.

"Ah, fuck," Ian thought as he got up from his chair and walked out of the theater.

He walked out of the theater step by step, listening to everyone's conversation and whispering as he went... He couldn't help but wonder what other scenes could be better, and which scenes could be added to make the movie better.

In his mind, he was planning scenes that could have been done better, he analyzed the film to himself and he smiled, he planned to just appreciate the film as it was.

"The scream in the middle damn it, I feel like my instincts are about to run away from me!"

"It could have done better," Ian muttered to himself, taking the exact opposite path of the girls.

On his way to his next destination, he kept thinking about those scenes and the actors who played their roles. His mind automatically lists how well they can do it.

[Los Angeles, California]

"... I feel like I can change things up a little bit and incorporate Keanu a little bit apart," Reelin said to Nick, who didn't seem to sleep in days.

"Railin, your specialty lies in how you perceive these scenes and characters. I've worked with Ian many times, not that I have any bad opinions about him. Hell, I shouldn't even be making comparisons, but you're trying to keep the characters alive in the characters. With Ian

, he knew what to add, what to add," "What do you want to say?" Reelin laughed at him, even though she knew what he meant.

"Exactly," Nick said, getting off the table he was sitting on.

Nick walked out of the office without looking back, leaving the young director alone.

Raereen scrutinized the script, and then she observed the scenes with the actors in her mind.

"Keanu can't possibly fit the main character, but with this scene... He's going to be fine—"

..........

【Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China】

In the crowd, there is a writer with a pen and notebook in hand, and when people are looking at the sky and scenery, she is looking at people and their expressions.

It's easy for anyone to recognize her as a writer because she looks like a writer.

The notebook, the vintage coat she wears, the glasses on the bridge of her nose, the way her eyes move from one person to another.

It ends up focusing on a tall man who wears the same coat as hers, but who has distinct features that make him stand out from the general crowd.

It's Ian – but she doesn't know.

The wind hit Ian's face violently, and he panted as he patrolled the city. He glanced at the blue sky again, his gaze locked on the people who were enjoying it, and for a moment, he felt that everything froze, and he looked at himself from afar.

Standing a few steps away, the girl noticed a change in his mood.

"Rebellious, open-minded, happy, adventurous...," she wrote in her small notebook.

Finally, she added, "* An interesting character".

[Los Angeles, California]

"... Break the rules, enjoy the day, live in the moment, feel good, and be confident. That's exactly what I'm looking for," Reelin was still talking to Nick after he left the office to "sleep."

Nick couldn't help but giggle and walked back to the office, he shouted, "Let's end this today!"

and just like that, the two friends talked from the head again - the character's character. Raelyn personally looks forward to the person she wants to be with one day - which is why she loves the whole movie. The pleasure in the movie, the hidden beauty of living in the moment, self-confidence is the key, and she loves the concept.

"So, the character should be open, rebellious, happy, adventurous... I think we can bring that in. As we said, James is a good fit to be the main character, and Keanu's character could play the role of the principal if that makes sense. As

Nick said, Raelin's mouth turned into an "O"

"It actually makes sense. Thanks, Nick. I think things have been settled.

"yes, that's it. But I hope you don't take the character too seriously, especially everything you explain..."

"I'll try not to" she rolled her eyes.

"That's cute," Nick said, summing up what they had just discussed.

A few minutes passed in pure silence as they all went about their own thing.

"I was thinking that maybe we could start these three scenarios and then decide what we could do at the same time. Since we only have a month to finish shooting, I'm not sure if that's possible. I mean, we all know I'm not Ian," Rearin said, pushing the file to Nick to read.

"Oh, the kitchen scene, in the school, oh and the dining room scene," Nick said, pointing to his chin. "That should work. "

I don't know how he did it!" Leylin sighed loudly.

"Hey, hey—" Nick saw her miserable look and stood up close to her. "Trust me, Railin... Look at me,

" "I'm pretty sure you're going to make this movie even if I'm not here today." No, don't think about what Ian would do, or how talented he was, or how he got started... Comparing yourself to someone who has been a director in the industry for more than two years is the worst thing you've ever done to yourself.

Raereen looked up, her eyes fixed on Nick as he explained to her what she had to know.

"You're the director here. I thought - I really thought we had built this. I know what you think, I know what you think. But hey, you're the best cinematographer I've ever met. So you got this!" The

smile on his face filled Nick's heart with pride, and in his opinion Raelyn and Ian were so similar, but in many ways very different.

Both of them have a lot of similar ideas at the same time, but they are different on many levels.

For the sake of his career and work ethic, he kept all these thoughts to himself.

"I see," she said confidently, and Nick nodded with her.

"You get the idea. "
