Ace Hollywood

Tony Gilroy.

This Hollywood screenwriter and producer is not a small role. In addition to the preparations for "The Bourne", he is still making another heavyweight movie, and the investment is even higher than "The Bourne". Proof of Life, starring Meg Ryan, Interestingly, Russell Crowe is the leading actor in this film, after finishing his work on "Gladiator", Crowe joined the film, playing a Reputable expert in handling hostage crisis incidents.

The scandal between Meg and Crow has spread all over the sky, which is normal. Crow is a gossip maker, and Meg is recognized as the "Sweetheart Queen". The cooperation between these two super big names has accelerated the adrenaline secretion of everyone , so it is no surprise that scandals arose.

The strong cast of "Proof of Life" is enough to verify Tony's status in Hollywood. You know, not everyone can make a film directed by Taylor Hackford, starring Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. The big-budget ones, especially Crowe, are in full swing right now, with "The Insider" earning him his first Oscar nomination, although there's little hope, whether it's the hit "A Beautiful Mind" Kevin Spacey, or It's Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, each of them is strong in their own way. Crowe has almost no chance of winning, but winning a nomination in such a big year as an actor is enough to show his strength, and " Gladiator is favored by the industry, and he is likely to be nominated consecutively. If so, the possibility of winning the award next year will be much greater.

It was by virtue of this fate that Kusa had the opportunity to meet Tony.

Tony is very busy. The work of "Life" is the main task. The film is going to be released at the end of the year. The time is too tight, and the work of "Bourne" cannot be let go. As a screenwriter with quite energy, he is very important in casting He has the right to speak, because he knows best who is suitable for the role he writes. In particular, Tony is not the first screenwriter that Universal has found, but others obviously failed to impress the decision makers including the director and investors, and Tony succeeded in doing this.

Kusa sat in the store for an extra half an hour and sorted out his thoughts. Tony is a conceited person. He is indeed talented. If you want to get his support, the method is very important.

It was the first time for Daniel to ask his partner, and Crowe also gave him face. Although it was just a meeting, it was not easy. This is a critical moment, and even a meeting may reveal unusual information.

They didn't talk at Universal City, the set of "Life," or at the headquarters of Universal Pictures. Tony proposed to meet at a special Thai restaurant on Third Avenue, and Koosa was fine with it.

This Thai restaurant called "Pattaya Starlight" is not well-known on Third Avenue, and there are countless more famous restaurants around it. Tony's idea of ​​keeping a low profile is self-evident.

He is about to finish filming in Los Angeles. When next week, the "Life" crew will go to Poland, and then the location shooting in Ecuador. That is to say, Tony will leave the United States soon, and Kusa must hurry up.

Kusa arrived fifteen minutes earlier, and five minutes later, Tony, who had already turned gray, walked in. He was wearing a dark thick jacket, and his figure shrank a bit.

"Hi, Mr. Gilroy."

"Hello, Mr. Damon."

Kusa waved his hand and called the waiter to come over, and Tony skillfully ordered a few dishes, "You can try it, this restaurant's Thai food is very good."

"must."

After Tony took a sip of water and breathed out comfortably, Kusa spoke, "I can meet you,

I'm so glad, but it's a pity that Daniel is still in New Zealand and can't meet and communicate with you. "

Tony smiled cheerfully, "Damon, you are too polite. Let's be honest, I understand why you came, and you know what I mean."

Kusa also laughed. Indeed, if it weren't for their common wishes, it would be impossible to sit together today anyway.

Matt Damon.

Tony Gilroy didn't like him, and Daniel and Cusa also wanted to kick him out.

"Yes, Gilroy."

"You can call me Tony, I'm used to being called that."

"Okay, Tony, Daniel has them all now, but it's not enough, they can't make up their minds that Daniel will replace Matt Damon, they think Matt is more reliable, just because of the so-called reliable, they are so stubborn It's odd that Matt Damon was identified."

"No, no, Kusa, that's not the case. Reliability means that he has strong qualifications and box office success. We can't deny this. Daniel is far behind him in this. Otherwise, you won't be so difficult." Tony Stopped talking, thanked the yellow waiter who served the dishes in Thai national costumes, and then continued, "However, this is not necessarily a good thing."

Kusa slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and now he doesn't need to speak.

"He's so young, with the statuette and the big blockbusters, it's obviously gone to his head. He doesn't understand at all that the script of Good Will Hunting doesn't mean anything at all, it's just his and Ben's inspiration. A flash does not mean that they have really become Oscar-level screenwriters, what else have they written? Has there been?"

Tony's complexion became heavy. He was not a kind face in the first place, but now he looked even more terrifying.

Cusa was about to cheer in his heart. He knew that Matt Damon had expressed some attitude towards the script, but he had no idea that Tony would mind so much.

God bless.

Kusa echoed cautiously, "Yes, yes, sometimes it is really difficult for young people to hold themselves. When Daniel first became known, he often felt that he was great, but he was always challenging some 'no' Maybe' tasks, such as the supporting role of "Gladiator", playing against Russell Crowe, and such a masterpiece as "Lord of the Rings". Of course, if you can, there is "Bourne", which has such a wonderful story and It was challenging, so Daniel recognized his weight before he even had time to cock his tail, and I think Matt might have gotten a little carried away, he's the golden boy of Hollywood."

Tony Gilroy understood that Cusa was courting him, but being courted was a pleasant thing in itself, and he didn't resent it.

"Kousa, I talked to Crowe and he was full of praise for Daniel, and I have no doubts that Daniel can shoot a satisfactory shot. However, I think actors should respect the story and everyone should do their part. It's my duty not to step on other people's territory. Kusa, what do you think?"

Cusa Damon suddenly became clear. It seems that Tony got the news that Matt may decide to give his opinion on the movie after signing the contract.

This is definitely a big offense to Tony.

"We will respect the existing stories very much. Even if we have other understandings, we will only communicate with the screenwriter and let the screenwriter choose. As you said, Hollywood is a mature place, and everyone should have their own work. Daniel can't If you are an agent yourself, of course you cannot be a second-hand screenwriter.”

"Very glad we agreed on this." Tony held up the hot coconut milk. "Here we go."
