Ace Hollywood

(Nine thousand words, the third update, just for collection and recommendation!! Penguin group: 460719545)

Many people were talking about Daniel, including big-name actors like Brad, as well as some directors.

Including the well-known big director-Robert Zemeckis, "Forrest Gump" made him the top of Hollywood. At the end of this year, "The Rest of a Deserted Island", which he and Tom Hanks collaborated again, is also considered to be an important contender for the annual box office championship.

He, Steven and Lucas are the real promoters of this short film competition. In addition to reserving talents for the USC department, being able to hold this event is also an important way for them to promote their influence.

Who can do it but them?

Well, that's power.

Zemeckis mentioned Daniel in a conversation with Ron Meyer, an executive at Universal—his previous role was one of the five founders of the CAA agency. Compared with the tragic reminder of Michael Ovitz, another more popular founder, Mayer's development in the world can be regarded as smooth.

"He is a young man with amazing talent. Hanks was not so dazzling when he was young." Zemeckis saw Daniel who was talking and laughing with Jessica, "I watched the rough cut version of "Gladiator", Scott He really came prepared this time."

Mayer is an executive at Universal, so he was naturally happy when he heard Zemeckis's compliment.

"The company also has high hopes for this movie, and Daniel's performance in it is perfect." Meyer naturally knows that the outside world is waiting for "Gladiator" to be released, and some of them hope to see whether Daniel has the potential to become a superstar , is still a false star created purely by promotion. And people with power in the industry like Zemeckis and Meyer, if they are interested, can already know about Daniel's performance.

The focus now is whether good performances can have good results, such as the box office, the scores of film critics, and the harvest of the awards season.

"Seeing such outstanding young people really makes people have confidence in the future of Hollywood." Zemeckis said another sentence that reflected his identity, ending the topic of Daniel.

...

Qiao Sen left first. As the only Chinese contestant, he had the opportunity to speak at the kick-off meeting later, so he had to go to the Staples Center to make some preparations. Daniel and Jessica passed the time without saying a word.

"You are really perfunctory." When Daniel asked Jessica to repeat it again, Jessica finally lost her temper.

His spirit is a bit difficult to concentrate, and the activities are too boring.

Daniel looked at her apologetically, "It's hard for me to cheer up a girl I can't get a date with."

Jessica couldn't laugh or cry, but she couldn't just be defeated so easily, "Why do you feel that you can't get a date? You must know that you are now a superstar in Hollywood, and the newspapers have been reporting about you every day for the past few months."

"Could it be that your dating condition is the amount of media coverage?" Daniel's eyes seemed to light up. "Counting the negatives, I think it's still very promising. So girl, are you free tonight?"

"No, sir!"

"I knew it was like this." Daniel changed back to the look of dying.

"Casey should really see what you look like. She knows that Hollywood stars are not what they imagined." Jessica curled her lips.

"Catherine can join us for dinner if she likes, is she in Los Angeles?"

"She'd probably be crazy about it."

"Then you have to prove that it has nothing to do with me."

Daniel nodded with a few behind-the-scenes people he didn't know who passed by, and just saw Johnny Depp with averted eyes over there.

Jessica was unaware of these, "That's not okay, you have to take full responsibility."

"You are not an impartial judge."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The tacit understanding between the two of them made this boring event less difficult, and they were going to cooperate soon, so they were not afraid of the media reporters present and could even wave their hands generously.

...

Staples Center, USC students, participating stars and directors of the federation, as well as other invited big shots sat below.

Steven, Robert and Lucas came to the stage and gave brief speeches. The three of them performed their own duties. Steven said that practitioners in the film industry have followed suit to show the majestic vitality and attractiveness of this industry. Robert focused on majors, talked about the rich connotation and profound significance of film art, and praised the baptism and enlightenment of the students, while Lucas started from creativity and imagination, and he encouraged every young person to give full play to their abilities. Personality, imprinting a unique mark on the film.

The speeches of these three big names naturally attracted bursts of applause, especially the rookies from USC, including those from the School of Film and Television, who are all gearing up to conquer the world.

After them came the actors, the popular Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts took the stage to speak, they spoke shorter, this is the requirement of the federation, the actors are too dazzling, those students from other colleges, most of them are aimed at They come, and if the talk is too long, it may take away the main point.

The two could only simply show their support for the event, acknowledging that it was full of meaning.

Finally, the speeches of the four student directors took up the longest time in the entire kick-off meeting.

Qiao Sen Zhu was the third one. There was a Jew and a white man in front of him. After Qiao Sen, there was a girl.

It can be seen that the Federation has taken great pains in selecting candidates.

Jewish Boy is a story about money worship—he seems to be trying to bust the myth that Jews love money more than life. Daniel saw him speak passionately about the glorious traditions of the Jewish people, and then threw his script aside.

"In China, this kind of speech can't be on stage at all. You can get a zero score in the college entrance examination composition. It's too serious." Daniel muttered alone, and Jessica didn't listen carefully, so he was whispered by him. To attract.

"what are you saying?"

"Well, he's digressing. This isn't a Jewish meeting."

"That's not necessarily true. There will be many Jews in the selection meeting."

Daniel opened his mouth, he was still thinking too naively, there is obviously an expert behind this kid.

However, Jessica's eyes are really sharp.

He couldn't help but pay attention to the blond sweetheart, with deep eye sockets, and his eyes moved down, well, it's not small.

Blonde boobs equals stupid, and that equation probably doesn't quite apply to her.

The Jewish kid's speech is over, the white kid, Brad Pitt's know-it-all sidekick.

The theme of his script is patriotism, the story of veterans' nostalgia for the battlefield, which is a very correct topic.

Behind him was Qiao Sen. Daniel sat up in a refreshed state. He glanced at the seats, but saw that many people started to communicate with each other with their heads turned sideways.

This seems to be their rest time.

Looking at Jessica, the young man's eyes ignited a raging flame.

"My short film tells the story of cultural differences between the East and the West, and it doesn't have a particularly obvious theme."

Daniel heard someone laughing. Compared to the first two well-prepared speeches, Qiao Sen's opening remarks were obviously a bit amateurish. No one would say that the subject of his short film was unknown.

"Oh, I'm not saying that it has no core. I hope to use this story to show that the influence of blood and skin color is deeply rooted in us, but they are not invincible. In the short film, we can only use tangible potions, but in life, We should give our hearts a dose of medicine."

Qiao Sen is quite well-behaved, he has his own understanding of the script, and this may be what he has always wanted to express.

The theme of the last girl is also very girl-teenage love, discussing the topic of freedom and indulgence.

Overall, the four representatives are tall enough.

Jews and money worship, patriotism and private soldiers, racial reconciliation, free thinking—these are all topics that Hollywood's great directors weigh and weigh.

"They're all a bunch of proud kids."

"They are all older than you and me. They are dreaming of taking this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop. Of course, they can use as much strength as they can."

"I'm also very good at making great efforts." Daniel said involuntarily, seeing Jessica, who was one year younger than him, looking serious. Then, Jessica quickly turned her head to look at the stage under Jessica's shocked eyes.

Hiss, the severe pain in his waist still told him that women should not be messed with.

The table is being set up on the stage, and 16 student directors will sign contracts with investors and main actors later—more symbolic, since they are going to do it, of course they will do a full set. Daniel looked at the contract, but could hardly find any legally binding one.

It was Universal Pictures that gave Qiao Sen a production budget of 300,000 yuan. Ron Meyer personally attended the scene, so he couldn't say that he didn't give face to these big directors.

Joson Zhu, Daniel Sandler, Jessica Alba, and Ron Meyer all signed contracts and held them up for a photo—just like the news, and just as stupid, of course.

This cannot be seen from the smiling expressions of the four people.

Their crew, except for Ron Meyer who is not part of it, is indeed too young.

The flashlights of the media flashed more diligently than other crews, but no one thought it was a good thing.

Johnny Depp, who just met Daniel's eyes, couldn't help showing a smile. He knew that the media would give Daniel a lot of pages tomorrow. Let's fry it. The higher the praise, the worse the fall.

The news he heard about Daniel was generally not very happy-for example, Daniel had just signed "Bourne Shadow" for 5 million, and the source of the news was Tracy's executive acquaintance in Universal. Five million, this young man who has just been in Hollywood for less than two years can already get five million.

Hollywood is getting more and more unreasonable.

If he was the owner of the production company, and the offer was over a million, he would tell Daniel to leave with his resume.
