Ace Hollywood

When he put down the phone, Daniel felt very relaxed. He leaned on the sofa and expelled all the breath in his chest and lungs.

This was not a call with Phil, but a call with Collins. After finishing the call with Fair, he waited for ten minutes for Phil to call Collins to ventilate. Then he called Collins directly. It's no good to procrastinate about this kind of thing.

Although it is quite romantic to establish a relationship across the Atlantic Ocean, the whales and sharks witness together, the jellyfish and pearls shine, and the blue sea sparkles with iridescence. But - also very insincere.

Fortunately, Collins doesn't mind at all.

Collins even poked fun at Daniel when he confessed that he wasn't feeling the thrill of the relationship.

Collins said that their relationship is real, not in novels or movies, where it will be vigorous. As long as each other feels that they can develop a deeper relationship with each other, then act according to their own wishes.

This is a very intelligent girl.

Collins finally accepted Daniel's invitation, and she and Phil decided to come to Los Angeles for a few days.

This, of course, shows that she has no aversion to being exposed.

"She is a smart girl with a brain, which is rare in Hollywood." Andy commented old-fashionedly.

"I'll ask Fred sometime what kind of girl he likes."

Andy and Fred's relationship lasted for a long time. Although it has not reached the level of Cusa, it is not far behind.

"Andy, if you married Fred, would you still work? I can't imagine doing without you."

"Master Daniel, Fred and I are both your long-term workers, what are you worried about?"

Daniel suddenly thought of "Avanti" - a Chinese animation character. For a while, he couldn't distinguish the two terms "Avanti" and "Avatar".

Andy rolled his eyes at the smiling Daniel who had no image at all.

...

Back in Los Angeles, Daniel can only be busier than ever.

Because his future is obviously brighter. Compared with the performances in the two works of "Legal Blonde" and "Lord of the Rings", whether it is "The Bourne Shadow" or "The Pianist", each of them has more room for development , not to mention, there are works like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" that I invested with old Tom Hanks. And "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Two Towers" is also on file this year.

Many media have called 2002 the Year of Daniel in advance.

A commercial film that is destined to sell well, a literary film that has received a lot of attention, and career investment, the three pillars stand together, and there is no weakness.

Then he was only twenty-three years old, too young - he was indeed getting closer to the Hollywood dream, and even the American dream.

All kinds of magazine interviews, fashion magazine cover shoots, and lucrative business activities - in this one, he first reached the top level of Hollywood. After all, when it comes to attention, Daniel is now unmatched. Besides, his most important job is his film career.

Jerry Bruckheimer was waiting for him.

Walt Disney experienced a high-level earthquake in the new year. The tough Michael Eisner was finally abandoned by the board of directors. "Pearl Harbor" can only be said to be an introduction. The main reason is that Eisner has too many grudges and there is almost no Olympic support in Disney. ,

Cook Dick, who he single-handedly promoted, also joined the new CEO Robert Iger. All in all, he didn't lose unjustly, and his life was exciting enough.

After Robert took office, the first project he promoted was "Pirates of the Caribbean". The ambitious Robert hoped to open a new path for Disney, so as to have enough trust and power in the board of directors.

...

Cusa talked to Daniel, and he made it very clear to Jerry and even Disney that Daniel wanted to be in the movie.

The current "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a series with a guaranteed bottom of one billion when it reaches the fourth part.

Even Disney doesn’t have much confidence inside. Robert’s prestige is also due to consideration of possible failures – there is always a tuition fee to be on stage, and Disney can’t rely on cartoons for a lifetime, and it has to move towards real people. With a treasure as big as Disneyland, it would be too wasteful to just develop cartoons, so this step must be taken anyway.

No one dares to say whether Robert's courageous attitude has been recognized by the board of directors to make a breakthrough.

That's why, they started from the unremarkable pirates to try to make the story real.

At this time, Jerry has hired the screenwriter of "Shrek" to process the script, and has also found Gore Verbinski to be the director. Now it's time for the leading actor. According to the script, the leading actor is the most important role in the whole movie. The main character, will bear the absolute burden.

When Jerry, Gore, and even Robert Iger behind the scenes were discussing the role, Daniel Sandler was mentioned by Robert.

Forged a good relationship in "Pearl Harbor", of course Robert would not be stingy in proposing a candidate, after all, it is only one candidate.

It's just that after Robert brought it up, Jerry and Gore's minds became a little delicate. It's not that they think Daniel planned "Pirates of the Caribbean" in advance, who knows what kind of story this is, who knows how much it will cost, who knows whether it will be successful or not—Daniel has no shortage of scripts at all now, so there is no possibility from the motive.

It's just that it's a coincidence that the three people who can decide the candidate all more or less choose Daniel as a candidate. Once something is very coincidental, it will have a special meaning.

Jerry and Gore certainly didn't object.

This kind of meeting seems to be very secretive, but the possibility of leakage is also very high. Not to mention that the three people present will tear up at any time because of problems with the movie. Get the truth from the information you confide.

Who would want to offend Daniel so bluntly?

Gore? When he was not well-known, Daniel took the initiative to make friends, and the speculation between the two was not fake.

Jerry? Except for Daniel's team members, he is the only one who understands Daniel's difficulty best, so it is very impossible to offend him needlessly.

It seems that it is a certainty that Daniel will play the leading actor Captain Jack, but things will not always develop so smoothly.

No one objected, but no one confirmed either.

Because neither Jerry nor Gore thought Daniel was suitable for Captain Jack.

"Will Turner?" Gore spoke with some difficulty.

Soy sauce man? That was the message in Jerry's eyes.
