After getting up, Jiang Feng and Fan Bingbing ate something simple and then took a taxi to the audition location—the Miramax Corporation headquarters.

Miramax is the production company behind Kill Bill.

In a spacious and bright office, Jiang Feng met the interviewer in charge of the audition.

The film is directed by Quincy Tarantino, produced by Lawrence, and features the two founders of Miramax, Harvey and Bob.

"Hello, Director Kun..."

Jiang Feng shook hands with Kun and the others.

"Ding, absorbable attribute detected."

"Screenwriting +200."

"Director +300."

"English +80"

"Perverted +500"

Upon hearing the system notification in his mind, Jiang Feng was taken aback.

What the hell?

He actually managed to steal 500 points of abnormal attributes from Kun.

The roles of screenwriter, director, and English language proficiency are all easy to understand.

What the heck is a perverted attribute?

And it's actually this tall!

Thinking of some rumors about Kun, Jiang Feng immediately felt relieved.

It seems those rumors weren't unfounded; Quincy might really have a foot fetish, which explains why there are so many close-up shots of actresses with bare feet in the movie.

What pleased Jiang Feng was that he also managed to extract some investment and business attributes from the Harvey and Bob brothers.

The fact that these two brothers can start a film company in Hollywood, a place dominated by industry giants, and still live so comfortably shows that they have some real skills.

Jiang Feng also plans to start his own company and become a boss, and these investment and business attributes will come in handy in the future.

He gave a brief self-introduction and then took out the videotape.

"Director Kun, this videotape contains clips of my previous performances. Please take a look..."

"OK, that's very thoughtful of you. It shows you value this audition."

Quincy had William get a video recorder and immediately started playing the videotape.

At first, they remained relatively calm, at most being amazed by Jiang Feng's kung fu and thinking that he was quite skilled.

However, when they saw the exciting duel between Jiang Feng and Li Lianjie in "Hero", they all stood up excitedly.

Kun, in particular, reacted the most dramatically, shouting excitedly:

"Oh, Jet-Li."

Seeing that Jiang Feng was holding his own against Li Lianjie in their fight, Kun was immediately impressed.

"Liu Jiahui told me before that your kung fu was amazing, and I didn't quite believe it, but now it seems he wasn't lying to me."

Kun is a well-known fan of Hong Kong films and kung fu, and has watched many classic Hong Kong action movies.

He admires a wide range of actors, from early Shaw Brothers action stars like Lau Kar-fai, David Chiang, and Di Long, to later stars like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li.

This is also why he invited Liu Jiahui to participate in the film.

Kun's attitude towards Jiang Feng became much warmer; she looked at him with shining eyes and asked expectantly:

"Jiang, could you demonstrate your kung fu for us right here?"

"no problem."

Since he had no weapons, Jiang Feng had no choice but to perform martial arts.

He performed a set of Tongbei Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

The reason for choosing Tongbei Quan is that, compared with Tai Chi, Baguazhang, and Xingyi Quan, Tongbei Quan is more powerful and visually striking, making it the most impressive.

A series of crackling sounds suddenly filled the office, like a string of firecrackers.

Kun and the others were dumbfounded, their eyes wide and their mouths agape, looking like they had never seen anything like it before.

Even the assistant, Fan Bingbing, was stunned, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Although she and Jiang Feng had become close friends, this was the first time she had witnessed Jiang Feng's kung fu skills, and she felt even more admiration and respect for him.

At the same time, she finally understood why Jiang Feng's physical strength, endurance, and stamina were so good.

After Jiang Feng finished his performance, Quincy, Lawrence, Harvey, and Bob all stood up, clapping enthusiastically and speaking in English that Fan Bingbing couldn't understand.

"Crazy!"

"It's amazing!"

"Super-cool!"

Fan Bingbing quietly asked, "Jiang Feng, what does 'Super-cool' mean?"

Jiang Feng said, "It means awesome."

Kun overheard their conversation.

Kun gave a thumbs up and said in somewhat broken Mandarin:

"Awesome, awesome!"

Lawrence, Harvey, and Bob all exclaimed "Awesome!" "Awesome!"

Kun asked curiously, "Jiang, what does 'niu~bi' mean?"

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "It's just a promotion machine for cows."

"(⊙_⊙)?"

Kun's expression froze instantly:

"Why?"

Jiang Feng explained, "Because it is so big..."

"..."

After a two-second pause, Kun and the others burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

Kun was still not satisfied and wanted Jiang Feng to show off his skills a few more times, since there weren't many opportunities to appreciate Chinese martial arts up close.

He brought up the time when Bruce Lee auditioned for "The Green Hornet" in Hollywood.

"When Bruce Lee auditioned in Hollywood, he once jumped up and kicked a light bulb off the ceiling. Can you do that?"

Jiang Feng looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling, silently calculated the height, and nodded:

"I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he squatted down, then suddenly leaped up and kicked the incandescent light bulb off the roof with a powerful kick.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Kun and the others didn't see what happened. They only heard a loud crack as the light bulb shattered on the floor, but the lampshade remained perfectly still.

The incredible legwork nearly shocked Kun and his men.

After a moment of stunned silence, they finally reacted, clapping excitedly with faces full of admiration.

"Jiang, you're even better than Bruce Lee!"

"Awesome!"

"Awesome!"

……

Jiang Feng never expected that his audition would turn him into a cultural ambassador.

In the normal audition process, the director will not tell the actor the audition result on the spot.

After the audition, the actors have to go back and wait for a notification.

However, Jiang Feng defeated his opponent with his outstanding skills.

Quincy and the others were very satisfied with his performance and announced on the spot that he had passed the audition, and asked William to bring him a contract.

Jiang Feng took a closer look.

He was to play a henchman with no lines. He was on set for a month and received a salary of $20, which, according to the exchange rate, is equivalent to more than 160 million RMB.

Earning 160 million a month, that's absolutely amazing!

Moreover, Hollywood's pay model is different from that in China. In addition to a one-time payment, there is also a long-term royalty sharing.

However, Jiang Feng's role is small, and he won't receive much in royalties later on, but something is better than nothing.

It has to be said that Hollywood's welfare benefits are really good, and the protection of actors' rights is more comprehensive than in China. No wonder everyone wants to develop their careers in Hollywood.

The film is still in the early stages of preparation and there is still some time before filming begins. The contract stipulates that the film crew will join the production team three months later.

Jiang Feng did the math and found that his schedule didn't conflict with "The Departed". In other words, he could go directly to Hong Kong to audition for "The Departed".
