Ace Hollywood

Chapter 46: Self-Humiliation

"Ha!" Tony let out a cryptic laugh, if that could be called a laugh.

The boss of the investor insisted on going his own way at the last moment of discussing the male lead, putting aside the candidate discussed by the director, screenwriter, and producer, and stubbornly chose another person. This is not uncommon in Hollywood, but for "The Bourne" To me, it's like a joke.

Doug Liman?

Robert Ludlum?

Flack Marshall?

Or Tony Gilroy?

Who would allow such a thing to happen? Could it be that they are all nobodies, rookies who have just stepped into Hollywood, are apprehensive about Universal's investment, and dare not have any objections?

Jose is still too inexperienced. To be honest, although he is the vice president of Universal Films, there are not many opportunities for Jose to be in charge of Universal's major productions. Some are followed up by Stacey himself, and some are followed by the first vice president. Followed up by Adam Ferguson and Donna Langley of the international department, Jose is mainly in charge of the independent film department, which makes him lack experience in dealing with well-known directors, producers, and screenwriters.

If Stacey was standing here, even if she had something to say, she would never say it at this time.

"Jose, you mean Stacy is determined to use Matt Damon?" Doug Liman was the first to speak, and in the silence, he asked in confirmation.

He Sai realized it was wrong, but now he had to bite the bullet and go on, otherwise he still had no prestige at all.

"Yes, Stasi just called me, the shareholders are very concerned about the casting of this movie, and they want to choose Matt Damon."

This is of course nonsense. If the shareholders could interfere in such a detailed manner, Stasi would have already given up the pick. Although the position of the seven chief executives is very coveted, a puppet without independent power is not what people like Stasi want. to do.

Frank stood up straight away.

Jose stopped him from going out, "Frank, why do you have to insist on Daniel Sandler? If the two are almost the same, it is a professional attitude that meets the needs of investors, isn't it?"

"You played with those independent filmmakers so easily that you forgot that everyone here loves the film industry." Frank said bluntly, "Let me ask Stacy's Meaning, if what you say is true, then I'm going to get out of here, it's up to you. But if the Stasi doesn't say that, bro, you're in trouble."

"Do you need to raise your hand?" Tony teased. Although Jose looked ugly, Doug and Robert still laughed.

Jose already knew the ending at this time, and he misinterpreted Stasi's meaning.

It's simply obsessed, and he shouldn't have jumped out at all.

"Okay, okay." Jose quickly decided to admit defeat in order to be forgiven, "Stasi's original intention is that Universal supports Matt. If you are hesitant, make sure. Of course, if you belong, Universal Daniel can be endorsed. Yes, I personally still insist that Matt is the best choice, but the majority is the minority, and I agree with Daniel."

Jose's stupidity cleared the final hurdle for Daniel's final victory.

Daniel won The Bourne Bourne.

A week later, the paparazzi caught Daniel at Los Angeles International Airport. This is a scheming paparazzi. He did not choose to release the news immediately.

Instead, he secretly tracked down Daniel's agent Cusa Damon, and then he was able to see them enter the Universal office in Century City, but fortunately, Doug Liman was not photographed by the paparazzi.

Otherwise, the news will be exposed!

Soon, the next day, he waited at the airport again without knowing it. Sure enough, Daniel left Los Angeles again.

"Come and go in a hurry, what plan are Daniel and Universal planning?"

The paparazzi sold the news to The Sun, a Chicago-based paper that paid big bucks, and they've been paying attention to Daniel ever since his writer, the king of film critics, Roger Ebert, accidentally spoke out about Varsity Blues up.

"Daniel rushed back to Los Angeles from New Zealand a few days ago, but only stayed for two days before returning to the filming location of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". It is believed that Kevin Goley, the vice president of CAA, was also among them. Then they went to the Los Angeles office of Universal Pictures in Century City. No one knew what they talked about, but very soon. Soon, Daniel left the United States, and the look on his face showed that this trip may indeed be very rewarding."

The report sorted out Daniel, not forgetting the upcoming "Gladiator", the ongoing filming of "Lord of the Rings", and of course "Legal Blonde", which was just exposed some time ago. They also sorted out Universal's next move-"Fast and Furious"? "Bourne Shadow"? Or those great sequels, "The Mummy 2: Return", "Jurassic Park 3", "American Pie 2", which one attracted Daniel.

"This is really a young man who can't stop for a moment. In the next two or three years, we may be dazzled by his performances. I hope we don't get tired."

...

Daniel returned to Los Angeles, of course, for the contract of "The Bourne", and Cusa and the film crew have been talking for a week. Once the decision was made, the producer was full of sincerity and fully accepted Cusa's offer of 7 million. Daniel's remuneration skyrocketed from 2 million + 5%, which was close to 3 million, to 5 million in a short period of time. million.

Hollywood dollars are so irresistible.

The film will be launched in October this year, which coincides with Daniel's "Lord of the Rings" filming plan.

"It seems that I really don't have any room for rest this year." Daniel complained as Kusa sent him to the airport.

Kusa said calmly, "One day you become a poor old man, you can sleep as long as you like, and it doesn't matter if you don't exercise for three days."

"Well, your words are getting worse and worse. What do you think, Andy?"

Andy, who is sitting in the co-pilot, looks sharp and capable now, like a high-achieving student from a prestigious school, but he can't get rid of his cold face.

"It does match his last name."

"Hey, I've heard the story of the Damon family twice, can you tell me about it? Why does the Damon family have nothing to do with Duke University, and why does it match well with speaking? Satisfy my desire Curiosity, two good-hearted people?"

"You'd better not inquire, or your ears may not belong to you tomorrow."

Daniel's face froze, "Are you joking?"

"I've seen it with my own eyes, no one can deceive me." Andy's tone didn't change at all.

Daniel wisely stopped asking.

What a scary world.
