Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

"Karl is the actor who played Master Mai, the American in the TV series 'My Chief and My Regiment'! I got along quite well with him on set, after all, we fought together at Nantianmen."

Zhang Ze continued, "I just posted some photos of target practice on my WeChat Moments! Old Mai saw them, and since his ranch is not far south of Los Angeles, he called to invite me over."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Lai nodded in understanding.

I used to watch the TV series "My Chief and My Regiment" seriously, and I even secretly shed tears when Doubing, played by Zhang Ze, died.

I have a strong impression of the actor who played Master Mak!

"My Chief and My Regiment" is an ensemble drama, and even a supporting character can leave a deep impression on the audience.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze is quite capable, even managing to become friends with foreign actors.

While the three were heading to the hotel, Carl, far away in southern Los Angeles, happily boarded a Raptor pickup truck.

Kar'er's family asked her where she was going.

Carl laughed and called out, "My Chinese friends are coming to visit..."

After returning to their hotel in downtown Los Angeles from the gun club, Zhang Ze and his two companions began packing their luggage and waited for nearly two hours.

Finally, news arrived that Carl had arrived.

Zhang Ze rushed downstairs to greet him. From afar, he saw the tall Karl getting out of a black Ford pickup truck. He was wearing a large windbreaker, his hands in his pockets, and sunglasses on his nose.

It looks really cool.

Zhang Ze waved and shouted, "Hey, Karl. Long time no see, old friend."

Carl happily hugged Zhang Ze.

"Welcome, Doubing, to my hometown. As your host, I will certainly treat you well."

"Same as always, your army has plenty of guns and ammunition. If that's not enough, I've also contacted a good friend who has tanks, heavy machine guns, and helicopters. I guarantee you'll have a blast!"

If you heard this conversation between the two in China, you would definitely think they were crazy, but in the United States, a country where guns are rampant, it is quite common.

Carl has lived in China for over a decade, and his Chinese is very fluent; he can communicate in Chinese very well.

This is a very capable person.

He was born in the United States, grew up in New York, and studied in France and Malaysia during high school;

He also wrote scripts for South Korean television stations, which achieved high viewership ratings.

Because of my love for Chinese culture, I left South Korea and have lived in China for an extended period.

Because of her love for performing, she became an actor and has participated in many TV series in China, gaining some fame domestically.

He even gave himself a Chinese name, Ke Zhiling.

Moreover, this guy has British aristocratic lineage and his family has considerable assets; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone abroad to study in high school.

Carl was also a versatile talent, skilled in both academics and martial arts, and proficient in horseback riding, swordsmanship, shooting, tennis, sailing, and swimming.

Nearly a year after filming wrapped, Karl was overjoyed to be able to meet with his former partners and friends.

He has acted in many TV series in China, but none of them have the same emotional connection to him as "My Chief and My Regiment".

The battle at Nantianmen not only made them brothers in arms in the drama, but also made them good friends off-screen.

After greeting Carl, Zhang Ze introduced Zeng Lai and Xu Qing, who were standing next to him, to him.

When Karl heard that Zeng Lai was Zhang Ze's girlfriend, he showed a very surprised expression.

"I can't believe it, Doubing. I never thought you could find such a beautiful girlfriend. You're incredibly lucky. To use a Chinese proverb, it's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."

Zhang Ze simply smiled and did not respond to Carl's teasing.

"Hi, beautiful lady. My Chinese name is Ke Zhiling, but you can also call me Karl, like Doubing does. We're good friends. Yes, we were once brothers in the same trench."

Zeng Lai greeted Carl very politely.

Carl said directly, "Let's hurry up and load the luggage into the car. It's still more than two hours' drive to my farm."

Sitting in the pickup truck, Zhang Ze spoke gently to Zeng Lai.

"You got up around 7 a.m. this morning and played all morning, you must be tired. You can rest well in the car, it will take about two hours to get to the farm."

Zeng Lai nodded obediently and closed his eyes. Soon after, Xu Qing, who was next to him, also fell asleep.

He was sitting in the passenger seat chatting happily with Carl when he suddenly felt thirsty. He took a bottle of drink from the storage compartment next to him and gulped it down.

He just took this from the hotel; the drink was included in the room rate, so he figured he might as well take it.

About an hour later, the two gradually fell silent.

Zhang Ze also felt a bit tired and unconsciously closed his eyes and squinted.

In a daze, Zhang Ze felt Karl patting his shoulder.

"Hey, Aze, wake up! We've arrived at our destination."

Zhao Ze quickly opened his eyes and raised his wrist to check the time.

It was around 5 p.m., and it took them about two hours and 10 minutes to reach their destination.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Ze got a general idea of ​​what the farm looked like.

There is a spacious parking lot at the entrance of the farm, which can easily accommodate more than 30 cars.

Not far in front of the parking lot is a typical American farmhouse, which looks very beautiful from the outside.

Perhaps because it's close to Christmas, the area around the farm's villa is decorated with colorful lights.

It was still early, and the colored lights had not yet been turned on.

Next to the villa was a circle of iron cages, inside which were kept several colorful peacocks.

Several birdcages hung under the eaves, containing several parrots.

The house is surrounded by open fields, but perhaps because it is winter, there are no crops in the fields, except for a large area of ​​fruit trees on the left.

"What a beautiful family farm!" The three exclaimed, their eyes lighting up.

It has to be said that this kind of American-style family farm is really great. Zhang Ze, who was born in the countryside, admires this family farm model.

It's a pity that this model is not suitable for our country.

At this moment, a still-attractive blonde beauty came out and greeted Zhang Ze and the other two warmly.

Carl introduced his wife, Jenny, as a social media influencer. She has millions of subscribers on YouTube for her videos about her life in China, and they have two children who are in middle school in China.

The family now resides in China, but they return to the United States every year around Christmas for vacation and to visit relatives.

Jenny warmly greeted Zeng Lai with a cheek kiss, praising her, "Welcome! You're so beautiful!"

Zeng Lai was very generous in exchanging pleasantries with Jenny during their first meeting; as an actress, she was very skilled at this kind of social interaction.

Jenny's Chinese is also quite good; her pronunciation is clear and sounds better than Carl's.
