Chapter 335 The Lord of the Rings Director Invites You!
Zhou Yang gave a helpless, bitter smile, realizing that Hollywood was full of shrewd businessmen.

However, Zhou Yang does not want his acting career to be limited, so he can only keep choosing scripts to see if there are any suitable roles.

If no suitable opportunity arises, he would rather temporarily put aside his career in Hollywood.

An hour passed, and only one script remained.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the big words on the script cover.

The script cover has only three words: The Lord of the Rings!

After quickly finishing reading the script, Zhou Yang put it down, feeling incredibly excited, just like he remembered The Lord of the Rings!
Furthermore, the script includes special annotations for Legolas's lines, suggesting that the director intends for him to play the role.

The Elf Prince, elegant and powerful.

Zhou Yang is extremely confident in his appearance, even though he doesn't like being called a "little fresh meat" (young, handsome male celebrity).

but no matter.

His looks could easily outshine any of today's young heartthrobs.

Moreover, he was endowed with an extremely high charm value by the system, and Zhou Yang was full of confidence in playing the role of the Elf Prince.

Moreover, playing the role of the Elf Prince can quickly attract a large number of fans, which will help Zhou Yang become popular internationally.

Most importantly, Zhou Yang himself really liked this movie, which is truly commendable!

Zhou Yang immediately looked up, his face full of eager anticipation as he gazed at Chen Tianzhen: "Sister Tianzhen, is this 'The Lord of the Rings' movie? I'm interested in starring in it!"

"Are you sure?"

Chen Tianzhen frowned when she saw the script in Zhou Yang's hand and said, "They gave you a supporting role after the third male lead, with a salary of only 20 million US dollars, which is much lower than the salary given for 'The Dark Knight'!"

This means that this role is not as good as Zhou Yang's Joker in "The Dark Knight".

At least the Joker is the second male lead, and his salary is higher. Taking on a role like this is a sign of declining career prospects.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Sister Tianzhen, that's not important. I don't lack money or status. As long as I perform well in the role, I will get a reward far exceeding my salary."

“Okay, then I’ll contact the director.” Chen Tianzhen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

after all.

Zhou Yang is the real boss.

She then handed Zhou Yang a list of expenses: "This is the company's expenditure details for last month. Please sign it."

Zhou Yang picked up the expense list, glanced at it, and was shocked by the number: "So much?!"

Thirty-two million, that's astonishing! More than thirty million a month, that's over four hundred million a year, that's terrifying!

"Besides you, our company's total revenue is 27 million." Chen Tianzhen noticed Zhou Yang's unusual expression and quickly added, "But don't worry, after the newly signed artists start generating revenue, in another two months, the income will steadily exceed the expenses."

Call ~
Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Chen Tianzhen immediately contacted Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings," to express Zhou Yang's interest in collaborating and to schedule an audition.

In Hollywood movies, whether they are established stars or unknown actors, most of them need to audition.

However, to Chen Tianzhen's surprise, Peter Jackson refused to let Zhou Yang audition.

“No audition is necessary. Zhou is a genius actor, and I have full confidence in his acting skills. Nolan also recommended him to me, and I will send the contract tomorrow.” Hearing this, Zhou Yang laughed and said, “Looks like I have to thank Director Nolan, haha.”

Zhou Yang was overjoyed after the collaboration was finalized.

He immediately posted this exciting news on Weibo.

"#Actor Zhou Yang announces: I want to share some exciting news with everyone. I will soon be participating in the filming of 'The Lord of the Rings.' This is a thrilling fantasy epic that will take audiences on a grand and magnificent journey to Middle-earth. Please look forward to my new work!#"

This news immediately sparked a strong reaction from fans.

"Brother Yang, how are you so resilient? You've only had half a month of rest, and you're already throwing yourself into filming a new movie?!"

"Is The Lord of the Rings based on The Lord of the Rings? I remember the original novel was amazing! I'm really looking forward to it!!"

"Legolas is the Elf Prince, right? I remember he wasn't a minor character in the original work! Yang, the role you chose this time is really unexpected!"

"Brother Yang, why don't you take on lead roles?!"

“Brother Yang, if you take this role, you might end up with a supporting role in the next one…”

"..."

Many fans advised Zhou Yang not to accept jobs that lower his status, because it would be very difficult to climb back up.

However, Zhou Yang does not agree with this view. He believes that the most important thing is to make the character stand out, and the number of male leads does not matter.

Just like in the movie "The Dark Knight", although Zhou Yang was only a supporting character, he successfully stole the spotlight from the protagonist Bale.

Two days later, after receiving and signing the contract, Zhou Yang confirmed the filming plan with the crew. He was scheduled to fly to New Zealand to film in two weeks.

When Fat Di learned that Zhou Yang was going abroad to film again, she hurriedly asked for leave from the film set to return, otherwise she would not see him for several months.

Zhang Jingyi also took leave from school and went home.

When Zhou Yang returned, the two girls nestled tightly in his arms, one on each side, as if they were holding precious treasures.

Unable to move, Zhou Yang could only smile wryly and say, "Are you planning to hold me like this for two weeks?"

"Hmph!" Fatty D wrinkled her nose and pouted, saying, "Who told you to spend most of your time filming outside? You don't have time to spend with us."

Zhou Yang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "After I finish filming 'The Lord of the Rings,' I plan to take a few months off to spend with you all and enjoy the pleasures of nature. What do you think?"

"That's great!" Fatty Di replied excitedly.

Zhang Jingyi frowned and said in disbelief, "How could a workaholic like you not work for months to play? I can't believe it."

Zhou Yang smiled mysteriously: "If I invite you to film 'The Deer and the Cauldron' together, then you can have fun and work at the same time. What do you think? Hahaha."

"Don't joke around! Do you also want to marry seven wives like Wei Xiaobao?"

"..."

Two weeks later, Zhou Yang finally left China and began his journey to New Zealand.

Meanwhile, exciting news arrived: after a month in theaters, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" finally achieved an astonishing box office revenue of 42.3 billion RMB!
It successfully broke the box office record for domestic comedy films set by "Hello Mr. Billionaire"!
At the same time, Zhou Yang also received a share of the box office revenue from the cinemas.
