Ace Hollywood

Helen Delle's office.

After probing Daniel's mind for a while, Helen could of course see that the reason for Daniel's refusal to accept the sequel was no longer Reese Witherspoon, but his own career planning.

"Helen, it's actually not as serious as you think." Daniel and MGM are still cooperating on "Hotel Rwanda", and of course they don't want the relationship to become stagnant. Lun is self-improving and optimistic, and in terms of comedy expression, the relationship with Emmett has attracted much attention. In fact, a large part of it is because of my topicality."

Daniel didn't need to hide it, and no one would doubt it now.

"So, even if someone else plays Emmett, the script can completely focus on Ellen and emphasize that part of the story. I believe the audience will buy it. At that time, I hope to have the opportunity to watch your premiere."

As long as she can get Daniel's promise—to attend the premiere, which can minimize the bad influence of Daniel not participating in the show, Helen is already satisfied.

...

When Davis received the call, there wasn't much emotion on his face.

"How about it?"

"Daniel will definitely not appear in the sequel, and Helen hopes to finalize the contract with us as soon as possible."

Reese breathed a sigh of relief.

Davis looked at Reese's expression and sighed in his heart, maybe they missed a meaningful connection.

...

Berlin, this is not the first time Daniel has come here, because the Golden Bear Award, one of the three major international film festivals in Europe, is located here. When he was a Chinese filmmaker, he was invited to come here.

This is a city with a great sense of history and avant-garde touch, which is to some extent the center of Europe.

Coming out of Tegel Airport, the welcome staff of the Adlon Hotel held the name "Andy". The shooting time of the film is not expected to be particularly long, because Polanski sat in front of the preparatory work, shooting in the Czech Republic and Berlin, and all the shooting regulations are in his heart. According to the itinerary, Daniel should have attended the premiere of "The Fellowship of the Ring" in mid-December before flying to Europe to prepare for the filming.

It took a day to simply stroll around the city. Nearly 30,000 hectares of urban forest make Berlin a unique green city. A large number of lakes and rivers also adjust the humidity of the city, so even at this time, the temperature maintains At seven or eight degrees, it won't make people feel uncomfortable. The 206 Shopping Center, Unter den Linden Boulevard and Alexanderplatz are the representatives of modern Berlin, where top luxury goods, five-star hotels, and the fitness center chosen by Daniel are all located.

The strategy is simple, eat less and increase exercise to consume muscle protein and erase your proud lines.

He is now nearly 185 centimeters, and the final weight should be under 65 kilograms. He needs to lose at least 15 kilograms, basically all the muscles that other men dream of.

Andy then helped him rent a high-end apartment next to the Keweisi Fitness Center. While Daniel was busy losing weight, her main job was to contact Los Angeles and Silicon Valley, and there were countless things Daniel needed to know Or to participate in decision-making, all rely on Andy to be at the front line - this is an important position, it can be said that he knows most of Daniel's secrets, it is not difficult to see why Daniel's annual salary has skyrocketed to the million level .

...

Keweisi Fitness Center is located in the center of Berlin. From the window, you can see the Spree River across the entire city of Berlin, next to the Berlin Cathedral and the German Museum.

This is a fairly high-end fitness center, and the people who come here are of course people of a certain social status.

But Daniel is really not that familiar with Berlin's social jungle, even though the German version of MircoBlog is also used here-this is the first foreign language version after the English version. In addition, more broadly speaking, Apple's products and Microsoft's operating system can also have a little relationship with Daniel. But not enough to familiarize him with the city and its people.

Because of the need to lose weight quickly in a short period of time, Daniel's training program was rigorous and heavy.

He rarely has the opportunity to communicate with others.

"A can?"

Daniel finished his day's training and sat on the equipment to catch his breath. A handsome Germanic guy came by and shook the Beck's beer in his hand.

"Thank you, why not?"

After receiving the beer, the handsome guy sat on the side.

"Phil. I know you're Daniel."

"It's an honour."

Daniel took a sip. He was on a strict diet, which included beer, but the occasional small can was no big deal.

"Are you here to make a movie? I watched you for several days, and your training volume seems to be too much, and it seems that you don't replenish enough." Fer's brows frowned, and Keweisi's coaches shouldn't make such a mistake. Low-level mistake, diet is actually more important for fitness than exercise, and 70% of the results come from a strict and appropriate diet plan.

Daniel smiled, "I'm losing weight, not exercising."

"Oh," Phil suddenly realized, "for the new movie? To get down to that skinny look?"

"That's not necessary, it's just a character who is not well nourished and looks haggard enough."

Phil nodded, "I've seen your "Gladiator" and it's really good. Can you tell me about your new movie?"

Daniel glanced at the sports watch on his wrist, there was still a little time before Andy came to pick him up, "Playing a pianist, the background is World War II—"

"Roman Polanski?" Fair suddenly exclaimed, "Really? Are you here to act in Polanski's new movie?"

"Yes, you pay attention to him?"

Phil changed his posture and moved his butt, "I'm not particularly concerned. You know that there is a film festival in Berlin every year, and you will always hear some news. When Polanski recruited actors, the whole of Berlin was shocked, but everyone I tried everything I thought was suitable, but unfortunately none of them succeeded, I have a few friends who are actors, so I know a little bit about it, I didn’t expect him to choose you in the end.”

"Neither did I." Of course it was a joke, but Phil didn't know it.

The two talked a little bit about the weather in Berlin and the Berlin Film Festival was about to start in two months, but Fair didn't have any special affection for the Berlin Film Festival. According to him, he was more interested in Cannes.

When saying goodbye, the two also exchanged contact information. Of course, Daniel gave him a new account in Berlin.
