After Zhang Yifei greeted each other with the crew members of "Rush Hour 2", he sat down on the sofa.

"Yifei, I'm here this time to cheer you up. Now you are the strongest driver in Asia and the only F1 champion, and you have won glory for us Chinese!"

Cheng Long is not hesitant to praise Zhang Yifei because he once filmed a racing movie called "Thunderbolt Fire". He knows how difficult it is to be a real professional racing, let alone the world's top Formula Racing.

As a Chinese, Zhang Yifei broke the dominance of Europe and the United States over racing and became the most dazzling and hottest racing newcomer this year. This is definitely something that all Chinese people are proud of!

"Brother Cheng Long, you are so kind. I'm just a newcomer who's just starting out."

To be honest, Zhang Yifei's face is really good, and he is unambiguous when it comes to bragging himself.

But when faced with the bragging of such a kung fu superstar in his childhood memory, he still felt a little embarrassed.

This feeling is like when I first met Schumacher on the track, and subconsciously brought the halo of idols to the other party.

"Haha, Yifei, you are so modest, but it doesn't match the image in the media reports."

Cheng Long laughed without any concealment, his personality seemed very generous, and he felt like he was chatting with the eldest brother next door, without any barriers.

There is no reason why some people can succeed. Otherwise, with Cheng Long's external conditions, his in-depth relationship with the film and television industry is better than "spoken melons and jujubes", and he has a very ordinary public image.

But he is generous and righteous. He has a group of young men from the Cheng family who are willing to follow him. He became famous in Hong Kong as a martial artist and created a new type of Kung Fu Comedy.

Later, I had enough emotional intelligence in Hollywood, and I could get along with European and American action giants such as Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Statham, etc.

Even when he won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, a world-class director and actors in the audience cheered and acknowledged his position in the film industry.

Many times, personality really determines destiny. Cheng Long may have stains in his private life, but he is very precise in dealing with people and general direction, and his abilities in his job are also outstanding. Only in the end can he create an era of his own kung fu.

"Yifei, in addition to watching your game this time, there is actually another idea, which is to invite you to make a guest appearance in my new movie. I wonder if you have this interest."

Came a movie?

This invitation surprised Zhang Yifei. To be honest, he has no idea of ​​developing into the film and television industry at present.

The driver doesn't even need a woman, and still have time to make a movie?

However, there is no idea of ​​developing into the film and television industry, but Zhang Yifei is really interested in being able to play soy sauce in the movie.

Because nothing unexpected happens, the new movie Cheng Long mentioned should be "Rush Hour 2" which will be released next year.

The movie is so popular all over the world, establishing Cheng Long's position as a Hollywood kung fu superstar, entering the ranks of A-level actors with a salary of US$20 million, and being qualified to participate in sales sharing.

Zhang Yifei has watched this movie in his previous life and is still very impressed. It feels really wonderful to be able to participate in it in another world.

It’s just that Zhang Yifei’s rationality tells himself that this kind of cameo-playing move may conflict with his professional competitions and may even affect professional training.

Just like many athletes in later generations participated in some variety shows and were criticized for not doing their jobs, drivers are not qualified to indulge themselves before reaching the absolute peak.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei understood more clearly that all his popularity and support were based on victory. Once he fell and became a loser, not to mention ridicule abroad, he would not even understand this point in time in China. Liu Xiang is the best lesson.

So although I seem to be in a glorious position and heading towards the new star in the car world, in fact, there is a deep abyss behind Zhang Yifei. The higher he can be praised now, the more miserable he may fall in the future!

Results are the eternal foundation for a driver.

"Brother Cheng Long, thank you for your invitation, but I am a professional driver now, and the season is not over yet, so it may not be very convenient."

With Cheng Long's emotional intelligence, he could definitely hear Zhang Yifei's polite rejection. He did not persuade him, but replied with a smile: "That's because I'm not thinking well. If I have the chance in the future, I will be the director and make a racing movie. Yifei, you will be the starring actor."

"Okay, it's a matter of determination."

Zhang Yifei's emotional intelligence is not low, so he just keeps talking. If there is really such a chance in the future, then let's work with Cheng Long to play a film "Initials D".

It's interesting to think about it...

Next is a relaxed chat. The black Chris Tucker is very good at engaging in the atmosphere. There is another big shot here, Zunlong. Zhang Yifei is actually very curious about these film and television superstars.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yifei and Cheng Long stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the VIP room. Here you can see the situation at the repair station and the fanatical American audiences in the stands in the distance.

"Yifei, I have watched media reports in recent days. The mainstream public opinion seems to be not so friendly to you. That's why I hope you can make a guest appearance in the movies so that more Americans can understand you."

At that time, Guo Fucheng from Hong Kong Island did not fool Zhang Yifei. Cheng Long has been paying attention to him. After all, this is the only world-class driver in the Chinese car industry. Moreover, Cheng Long is indeed a car fan and car enthusiast, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a fan of Zhang Yifei.

Cheng Long naturally saw the public opinion of the American media, and he tried to ease the relationship between Zhang Yifei and the mainstream American people.

With his identity and ability, the best way to ease is naturally to make a cameo appearance in the movie and create an image that is more popular with Americans. Just like in later Hollywood movies, no matter what the plot is, the idea of ​​putting Chinese stars in for the box office and pleasing Chinese audiences is the same.

It is not surprising that Cheng Long had this idea. Many early overseas Chinese had similar ideas. They always felt that offending the mainstream European and American people seemed to have caused big trouble and could not make it anymore. They thought about ways to ease the relationship and even apologized and admitted their mistakes.

In fact, it’s not their fault. It’s related to the national strength. In the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis and the embassy incident in 1999, the country had to swallow its anger. It’s normal for individuals to be unable to escape the limitations of their thinking.

It’s just that Zhang Yifei does not have the thinking of this era. After all, China has already faced the US imperial side in the future, so he naturally cannot be a soft boy.

So he smiled and replied, "Brother Long, I am very grateful for your kindness, but there is really no need to deliberately ease the relationship."

"I can even assure you that in the near future, many European and American audiences who are not friendly to me will shout my name in the future, and this has been achieved step by step."

Cheng Long didn't say anything after hearing this. Zhang Yifei's answer was in line with the tough image reported by the media. He was always so confident and did not lie in the comments from the outside world.

This kind of self-confidence is a good thing, at least it is better than inferiority complex.

It was at this moment that the door knocked on the vip room. After the door opened, Junko Takeda stood outside.

"Yifeijun, the practice competition is about to be prepared before the competition."

"I see."

Zhang Yifei nodded, then looked at Cheng Long and said, "Brother Long, I want to go back to the team to prepare for the competition."

"You go. If you have time after the game, you can go to my house to sit."

After saying this, Cheng Long took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yifei.

"This is my phone number and address in the United States. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time. Come on the competition and win another championship for China!"

"I can do it, thank you Brother Long."

After Zhang Yifei said this, he waved goodbye to the crew members of "Rush Hour 2" and then left the VIP viewing room.

In the corridor, Junko Takeda said hesitantly: "Ichifeijun, can I ask you for a little help?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei was surprised. Junko Takeda still needs to tell him this?

"What are you busy with, you said."

"If you meet Cheng Long next time, can you help me ask him for an autograph?"

When Junko Takeda said this, stars could appear in her eyes, exactly the same expression as those of star-chasing girls in later generations.

At this time, Cheng Long may not have reached his peak in the world, but his influence in Asia is no longer comparable. Even in Japan, he is also a superstar-level figure with countless loyal fans and fans, and even Japanese actresses are crazy about him.

Moreover, Cheng Long is considered a star in the Chinese film and television industry, and it is rare to be popular in China abroad. Later, he only had 30 million fans on Weibo, but he had more than 60 million fans on Facebook.

The problem is not that zombie fans, they always have hundreds of thousands of likes. i love you, who leave a message below, I am your loyal fan, you are the greatest superstar, etc., it is even more exaggerated than the Chinese brainless fans, and it is simply a scene with top traffic.

If Junko Takeda, who has always been calm and introverted, had she not done this kind of star-chasing state, Zhang Yifei would have really forgotten the crazy scenes of foreigners.

"no problem."

"yse! That's great!"

Hearing Zhang Yifei agreed, Junko Takeda jumped up excitedly, but this scene made Zhang Yifei a little laughed and cry.

Back at the fleet repair station, the crew members have already begun to preheat the oil and tire temperature.

The f1 engine is extremely sensitive to temperature, and if it is directly started cold, it is easy to damage the engine. So before the competition ignition, the technicians turn on the heater to make the lubricant temperature reach 60c, which is the best operating temperature for ignition.

Zhang Yifei took a look and was about to go to the lounge to change into a full set of racing clothes. However, the repair station was broadcasting TV, and there were several racing interviews with drivers.
Chapter completed!
