Ace Hollywood

Chapter Twenty-Three One Million Dollars

"fast and Furious"?

Daniel probably remembers that this movie was released in 2001, so it should be the right time to start.

He has some special emotions about this film, and when he was shooting the new film in Heimeiyao, Shanxi, the seventh part of the series was madly taking the yuan by storm. As for Paul Walker, it doesn't matter whether he is remembered by the crew, or whether the distributor has used his value to the limit. He gave the final touches to the movie that made him a superstar.

"Fast and Furious" made Paul, but it also seemed to limit him. Apart from this series, Paul has almost no other works that are remembered.

"A city racing movie sounds cool."

"Indeed, and if the response is good, the company hopes to make a series."

There is a big-selling commercial series, which is the envy of everyone in Hollywood. With continuous fame and money, as long as the series does not fail, you will never have to worry about having nothing to eat, and you don’t have to worry about losing your coffee position.

"Are you worried that the movie is questioned to encourage drag racing?"

"That's what the bosses should think about." Paul poured out his own brandy, motioning for the boss to add another glass, "We just need to get paid and make a good movie."

A lucky boy who doesn't worry.

"How are you? Why did you suddenly think of asking me for a drink?" Paul lifted his chin and ordered Daniel's water glass. "A kid who drinks soda asked me to have a drink."

After finishing speaking, he himself couldn't stop laughing happily.

"No, it's just that I've been a little nervous recently, and I want to find a friend to chat casually, but unfortunately, you are the only one hanging around in Los Angeles."

"Oh, then you're really not welcome."

...

Meeting friends really helped to soothe the mood, until Daniel forgot about the report tomorrow morning.

But back to his rented house, oh, Kusa has been too busy recently, so the change of house has temporarily stopped, and he still lives in the original place.

It's just that occasionally a neighbor knocks on the door, hoping that he can help introduce some opportunities.

Thinking about it, Daniel felt that he was quite lucky, at least as a twenty-year-old Daniel Sandler, he was lucky.

The "Los Angeles Times" report arrived as scheduled.

"It seems that you did a lot of work on Jones." Daniel was a little dumbfounded when he saw the interview that took up half of the second page.

"The New River Phoenix, or the Next Leonardo DiCaprio? - Interview with 'Billy' Daniel Sandler"

"The new Hollywood icon, Daniel Sandler, a sexy boy with a perfect face and body, has recently confirmed that Peter Jackson has favored him. He will play the role of the elf prince in Peter Jackson's magical masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" that Peter has been planning for seven years The latest box office of "School Blues" has exceeded 60 million US dollars, a rising Hollywood star that no one can ignore."

This is the introduction to the report.

"Where did she get the makeup test photos?"

In the middle of the report, in addition to his photo, there is also a photo of Legolas trying on makeup.

The ethereal and refined elven prince complements the photo of himself, which is pleasing to the eye.

But Daniel's first reaction was whether Peter would be upset.

"Don't worry, Jones got the photo from Francis." Kusa was also a little confused, "I didn't expect that she and Francis had a good relationship. It can only be said that the relationship in Hollywood is too complicated."

Relieved, Daniel has no intention of discussing his new crush with Cusa.

"Throughout the 1990s, apart from Leonardo, who just revealed that he was worth 20 million yuan, the only young man who exuded more brilliance than Sandler was River Phoenix, who died young. This newspaper is very Curious, the future of this young man who rises like a comet and is familiar to the whole of the United States will be like Rui Fan, who will eventually fall suddenly due to drug overdose and depression, or will he be out of control like Leonardo and become a The new face of the Hollywood dream."

It was Jones' opinion to bring Leonardo in. He is now in full swing, and news with his name can sell a few more copies.

But Jones remained faithful to the previous designs of both sides.

"Unexpectedly, in the interview, Daniel Sandler said that his idol is River Phoenix, because River Phoenix has a special temperament that is different from ordinary people. Although he is lonely, depressed and takes poisonous drugs, he is regarded by many Parents think that he has set a bad example, but his outstanding talent and talent in art are overwhelming. As for Leonardo, Daniel's response is more official. He said that he admires DiCaprio's Acting, consider him one of the best actors in Hollywood and the greatest youth icon."

The subtitle for this short segment is "Daniel Prefers Bad Boys"!

Then there is a large topic in the form of questions and answers, which covers almost all of everyone's curiosity about Daniel.

"When did you decide to go into this industry?"

"It should be after Christmas last year, when I came to Los Angeles."

"Having achieved such a high achievement in half a year, will it be a little uncomfortable? Is it very different from the previous life?"

"Actually, thank you very much to Brian and Michael, of course I don't want to say Oscar thank you, I really appreciate them for giving me this opportunity. You know, I was really just a little fat guy at the time, if they didn't let me play "Campus Blues", it's hard to imagine that I can achieve the results I have now. As for the difference from my previous life, it's not too big. I still live in the original rented house, five hundred dollars a month, and no paparazzi treats me Interested, haha."

"Ah, those big stars must be envious of you. So can you talk about the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy"? You played Legolas in it, and your appearance is really amazing."

"Maybe, but I'm also very envious of them, who can have amazing performance art and good work. "The Lord of the Rings" is an opportunity I just got this year. Peter auditioned me, and then we all have a very consistent understanding of the role, So I got this role very smoothly. In terms of appearance, thank you for your praise, in the script, Legolas is a charming elf prince, so the modeling they made is very good and very beautiful."

"Do you have a Hollywood idol? Just like a normal high school student."

"Haha, of course, I was just an ordinary person half a year ago. I respect a lot of Hollywood actors, and they are all very good. If you talk about idols, I don't know if you still remember River Phoenix. Although it's a little sad, but he Brilliant performance in "My Private Idaho" blew me away."

"River Phoenix? It's a bit of a surprise, of course he's a genius, in fact, he was considered by some to be the best young actor of the 90s. But alas, he ended up addicted to drugs and deep into depression You know, it's not a positive role model. So, what do you think about Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"Rui Fan is not a good idol. Parents don't want their children to be like him, but I think his unique temperament, aura and talent in acting are amazing. Mr. DiCaprio, I know him There are many excellent works, and he is of course one of the best actors in Hollywood, and the idol who fascinates young people the most."

...

In the WME building.

Philip's assistant put the main news on his desk, and before he had time to read it, as the Internet became more and more popular, people communicated more frequently and became more influential on the Internet, so he read it every day Check out the forums. Especially the websites of major newspapers and weekly magazines such as "New York Times", "Entertainment Weekly" and "People", as well as the public version of IMDB.

Of course he was very busy and just flipped through it. The assistant will prepare meaningful content for him.

"LA Times - Latest interview with Daniel Sandler!!"

A post on the public forum received widespread attention, and the number of clicks remained high. At this time, Philip was sure of winning, and clicked on the post with a sense of superiority over the loser.

Of course, the post is only a small part of the interception.

But these have made Philip angry.

"damn it!"

He hurriedly found the "Los Angeles Times" from his desk, and quickly saw the interview with Daniel Sandler, which took up half of the page, and "River Phoenix" in big bold letters.

Philip was a little dizzy, it was hypoglycemia.

"Despicable and shameless."

Sitting in the chair for a while, he clicked on the discussion on the public version again.

Sure enough, because Daniel was known to people from two photos on IMDB, a large number of people interested in Daniel gathered on IMDB.

Information about the interview quickly spread.

Philip even saw such a comment.

"It's okay to be faithful to the performance, but Daniel, don't get stained with Rui Fan."

"Rui Fan, it was indeed very popular back then, but it's a pity that he went astray."

Philip realizes that the problem is serious, but he is worthy of being a top agent in Hollywood. He immediately called the "Gladiator" crew, hoping to sign the contract as soon as possible, because Jacques has overseas travel arrangements.

It's a pity that he was destined to make a mistake. When Drake asked Ridley to wait, Ridley was still very curious, but he didn't refute his old friend's face again.

This time Philip's eagerness to sign made him realize that things had changed.

He quickly asked people to understand the situation.

Thanks to the Internet and everyone's attention to Daniel, by the afternoon, the information about this interview had spread to a very wide extent, even extending to the idol battle. Although Daniel praised Leonardo in the interview, but His statement that Rui Fan is his idol still angered some Leonardo fans. They have no position to blame Daniel. After all, you can’t ask everyone to regard Leonardo as an idol, but they cited an idol. The qualities that should be possessed are used to prove that Rui Fan is not enough to be an idol for young people. Leonardo's fans are far more than Daniel and Rui Fan's, even some of them are enough to make the situation develop in the direction that Daniel and Cusa want.

So when Ridley got the materials, things were already spreading.

The publicity value of Rui Fan Phoenix was completely destroyed, and many young people who had no impression of Rui Fan already had preconceived negative impressions after this incident.

And Daniel's online popularity in this news also surprised Ridley.

"Gladiator" screenwriter John Logan happened to be in Ridley's studio, took the material from him and looked at it, "Now, Ridley, everything is back to you again."

Indeed, so far, neither Universal nor the people Philip invited have any position to express their attitude.

Now it's up to Ridley's decision.

This is also one of the reasons why Daniel was sure that Ridley would not be too angry. After all, the initiative was not in the hands of Daniel in the end, but was returned to Ridley.

Ridley smiled, instead of calling Cusa and Daniel, he called Drake.

"How is it, old friend?"

"Draco, don't say you don't know about this."

"You don't sound angry." Draco shook his head and refused Melissa's offer of sugar for his coffee, the grounded daughter's courtship all this time.

Ridley smiled on the other end, "Why be angry, this is not a great trick. Let Daniel come, let's talk."

"Is there hope for Danny?"

"It's more than hopeful, it really made him do it." Drake was also a little surprised, he knew how Daniel and Kusa survived the desperation.

Daniel was also checking the news when he received the call from Drake.

He has been paying close attention to the situation until Leonardo's fans get involved, and he is basically sure that at least the effect of this plan has been achieved, and then Ridley's inner time belongs to him. of powerless.

He picked up the phone, hummed twice, then hung up.

Daniel put down the receiver, stood there for a while, then let out a long breath, finally looked at Kusa, and licked his dry lips.

"Kusa—"

"kindness?"

"We made it!"

"What?"

Kusa asked subconsciously, and then his eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say? It's Ridley's call?"

"No, it's Drake's. Ridley asked us to find him tomorrow morning."

"Ooh oh oh oh fuuuck, Daniel, Daniel. fuuuuck!"

Cusa was spinning around the room.

"We did it!"

"Yes, Cusa, we did. Commodius is ours."

As they expected, Daniel and Cusa came to Ridley's studio early the next morning, and Ridley himself received them personally. There was almost no difference between the two parties. Sarah didn't say anything.

Of course, the price Ridley offered was so generous that Kusa was shocked.

One million dollars!

This is the price they prepared for the first villain. In fact, if Daniel was set at the beginning, there must be no such price. However, after all these twists and turns, neither Walter nor Ridley made any further adjustments. The paycheck was intended.

This price is certainly not high for an A-level production with an investment of over 100 million.

In fact, Paul Walker's next "Fast and Furious" with an investment of no more than 40 million was priced at more than 3 million.

This has something to do with him being the leading role of the soul, but it can also be seen where the price of a popular male star should be.

Still, Kusa and Daniel were content enough to thank God.

God knows, they only charged $70,000 for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

That even required him to shoot for a year on and off.

Ridley and them initially decided on the time to enter the group. They still have a lot of training. Russell Crowe has to prepare a little more, but Daniel is not easy. At least training such as riding, fighting, and etiquette are indispensable.

However, the shooting plan is only four months, because the early preparations are very sufficient, including the arrangement of a miniature Roman city in Malta, the shooting arrangements in the Colosseum in Italy, etc., will be ready before the shooting starts.

This is of course good news for Daniel. He will go to New Zealand to join the crew of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" in December, and this arrangement gives him more time.

...

Ridley was quick enough this time.

Philip didn't even have time to think about what to do, the contract had already been signed.

Daniel Sandler has officially joined the cast of "Gladiator."

It was a setback I hadn't experienced in a long time.

And because of the time and energy Ridley spent on this role, everyone paid great attention to this role.

This is Ridley's Oscar-winning work, and it can't be too much attention, whether it's his friend or foe.

Daniel Sandler.

For the first time, the real bigwigs in this circle pay attention to this young New Yorker who is in his early years.

An important male supporting role in an A-level production is enough to enter the most central group of people in Hollywood.

And, he also has a role in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The rise of this young man caught people off guard.

Ridley even got several phone calls to find out why Daniel ended up getting the role.

Ridley almost spared no effort to praise Daniel for his talented performance art, satisfactory performance attitude, character fit, and even depth of thought. For him, he didn’t lie. All he described was performed by Daniel. There is no need to say more about his performance. The in-depth research on the history of the Roman Empire and biographies is enough to explain his attitude. As for the fit of the characters That's a feeling, and it's often integrated with acting skills, and in their exchange of emails between you and me, Ridley was really surprised by the depth of thought Daniel showed.

It doesn't look like a twenty-year-old young man, but a middle-aged man who has experienced a lot.

But in this way, people who heard the news from Ridley were even more surprised. Of course, Ridley is not a person who talks nonsense, which means that a new potential idol has appeared in Hollywood.

In Hollywood, there is often just one role, and the results are completely different. Before Daniel, even though he was very popular on the Internet, he couldn't catch the eyes of big shots. But once he took over the role of Commodius, he was immediately noticed by these people.

This news was like an atomic bomb in his narrow circle of friends.

It blows everyone's head dizzy.
