Ace Hollywood

"What?" When Daniel received the call from Kusa, he felt like the world was joking with him.

"Daniel, I'm sorry, but I don't have much time. I have to leave Los Angeles. I have already told Kevin that he will help you arrange a new agent. Danny, I wish you success."

The voice of "Dididi" came from the phone.

Kusa has hung up.

Daniel was stunned for a while, and immediately called Andy.

"What happened to Cusa?"

"What? Daniel, what do you mean?"

"You don't know?" Daniel felt a headache. If Andy didn't know, then he really didn't know who to go to find out.

"What happened? What happened to him?"

Daniel leaned back on the sofa, "He just called me and said only one sentence. He said he resigned and he had to leave Los Angeles."

"..." Andy was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, "Daniel, let me know first, and I will let you know if there is any news."

"Okay, Andy, thanks."

"No, you should stay calm, Daniel."

"I will, but you'd better come over here." Daniel touched his forehead. The news was indeed too shocking. Thinking that they had just experienced a crisis of trust, in the face of so many affairs, Kusa unexpectedly Tell him he's resigning.

"Something must have happened." Daniel thought to himself, "He was bought? Or did he offend the Governor of California?"

The mobile phone prompts that there is a missed call. Before Daniel has time to click on it, he sees Kevin's incoming call prompt.

"Good morning, Kevin."

"What happened? Is Cusa crazy? Does he think I won't sue him?" Kevin Goley was obviously furious, "Daniel, if you know something, you have an obligation to tell me, Eno already knew about it Thing, he won't let Cusa go easily, you understand? He broke the contract, put your future at risk, and we have to investigate right away to see if he used his position to obtain illegal benefits. Oh, my God , Daniel, you should accept the company's arrangement instead of appointing him to take full charge of your brokerage affairs. What do you do now? Even if someone else is willing to take over, who do you expect to be able to do it 100%? You are in a critical period now, and any mistakes will be punished Unpredictable effects. Daniel, this time you should understand that Hollywood is not a place where people can be trusted."

Daniel had never seen such a big anger from the always kind Kevin.

Even if he decided to leave all brokerage affairs to Kusa to decide, Kevin only said a few words lightly.

This time, he was really angry.

"Kevin, I know Cusa got into trouble this time, but don't you think everything is weird? We were talking about the promotion of "Gladiator" last night, and today he called me, and he was obviously affected. Call restriction, he said he had to leave L.A., not that he was leaving L.A., you know? He was forced. I think we need to call the police."

"Call the police? Are you crazy too? Do you want tomorrow's newspaper headlines all about the disappearance of Daniel Sandler's agent? Besides, he can call you and me to show that he is not in danger at all. Otherwise, He's smart enough not to give a hint if he needs help. And, besides, Daniel, whatever happened to him, it's not us who should call the police? Get it? He has parents,

There are relatives, and we are just his work partners. His affairs outside of work have nothing to do with the company, and it is impossible to have anything to do with it. "

Kevin's tone was serious. He obviously thought that if there was any scandal with Kusa, the company must keep a distance from him and get out in time.

Daniel took a deep breath before resisting the urge to be rude.

"Listen, Daniel, now you have to face everything about Kusa together with CAA, you are not allowed to act alone, understand?"

"Yes, I understand. K!"

"Very well, Melissa Lane will join the job ahead of time, and she will get involved in your affairs tomorrow, and the company will appoint a new temporary agent for you, Kim Payson? Denzel Ledley? What do you have yourself? idea?"

"I follow the company's arrangement."

Daniel understands that now is not the time to be willful. He has a heavy workload now, and any delay will affect the progress of the matter, especially the promotion of "Gladiator" and the upcoming USC Short Film Contest Awards Ceremony.

"If you had done that earlier, you wouldn't be so passive now."

Before Kevin hung up the phone, he couldn't help complaining.

Daniel was speechless.

Soon, Andy drove over. She went home to pick up things today and was going to pick up Daniel tomorrow morning.

"Any news?"

When Daniel heard the door opening, he stood up immediately. What he hoped to see was Cusa Damon, but unfortunately that was impossible, and Andy looked a little dignified when he came in.

"I can't get in touch with him, and I can't get in touch with his uncle, well, my dad."

"You mean, there's something wrong with his family?"

Andy showed embarrassment, "Daniel, Kusa may not have told you that the Damon family has been an important member of New York's underground forces for a hundred years, and Kusa was the first Damon family to apply to Duke University—or Families from top colleges. He's never touched the Damon stuff."

Daniel felt that the three views had been baptized, "You mean the Cusa family is a New York gangster?"

Speaking of Gangs of New York, Daniel also nervously thought of Martin Scorsese's movie, which may start shooting this year or next year, with Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo, Cameron Diaz, Card The company is strong.

Well, it's a little out of character to think about this now.

After getting Andy's affirmation, Daniel really hesitated.

The relationship between Hollywood and gangsters is not far away. In fact, many people have gangster connections in their hands, such as Kim Python. He said that the set of "Forrest Gump" was set on fire. Hands and feet, these are impossible to do by yourself, you must rely on the power hidden in the dark shadows.

"So, he was taken away by the enemy?"

Daniel doesn't know much about American gangsters. His impression is still the same as in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, breaking into your house, pressing your temple, and then threatening or something.

"I suspect it's the FBI." After all, Andy has the blood of the Damon family, and his understanding of these activities is not comparable to that of Daniel. A certain force is eyeing it, you know, that industry also has its own rules, and for people like Kusa who are far away from New York and are engaged in more sensitive work, they will generally not take any action, let alone such a rough one."

Daniel has nothing to do when it comes to the presidential election and change of term.

"Well, we'll just have to wait now, shall we?"

"I think we have to deal with your affairs first." Andy showed superhuman calmness, "No matter what happens to Kusa, your work must continue, and you can't give up Hollywood just because you changed your agent. business."

"You're absolutely right." Daniel first put Kusa's possible encounter aside.

"Let me think about it, Melissa will come over tomorrow, and Kevin will help me find a temporary agent, at least get rid of the "Gladiator" wave of publicity first. Andy, you have to keep in touch with Fred , His working team is very important, and there can be no surprises because of Cusa's departure. Once people realize their existence, we will be finished."

The online team, led by Fred, was critical to Daniel's ability to maintain a high level of online attention.

"clear."

"Okay, we have to go to Kusa's office, at least get the calendar and materials first, I hope the person who took him didn't have the habit of destroying corpses."

Thankfully, Daniel and Andy got all the materials they needed, and Coosa is indeed a very organized, thoughtful, and thoughtful agent.

"I'm a little more confident now." Daniel showed a bitter smile to Andy after reviewing all the materials, "Look, "Gladiator", "The Bourne", "Legally Blonde"...by category. Huh, what is this? 'Urgent Documents'?"

Daniel clicks on the text file.

"Daniel, if you see this document, something unfathomable may have happened to me. Regarding my family, you can ask Andy. Daniel, if you need, you can ask Melanie Sloan for a little help, I have provided some opportunities for her daughter. Finally, I wish you success, and I hope you never see these words."

Melanie Sloan?

"You know that little girl who just won the Independent Spirit Award? She's in the limelight right now."

"Scarlett Johansson?"

Andy nodded, "That's her. At the beginning, CAA wanted to sign her, but her family thought she was too young to enter the business world immediately, so in the end her mother also signed to CAA and was in charge of her brokerage affairs. "

"Well, it's another underage star. The Johnsons really 'cared' about their daughter." Daniel curled his lips in disdain, pushing his daughter into Hollywood prematurely, and he couldn't be called responsible anyway.

"Are you going to ask her for help?"

"I think Kusa may have forgotten to update this file. What do you think Melanie can do for me now? To negotiate with Universal? Unbelievable, you, Melissa who is about to join, and if there is Melanie, I The management team will be a little gender imbalanced."

"Come on, if it's all men, you don't feel out of balance, you're a sexist deep down."

"That's a big hat, but it's a luxury to fight for right now, Andy."

Daniel has canceled today's trip. Originally, Kusa and him were going to the Global Headquarters to chat with Donna Langley about the overseas promotional trip, but he postponed it for a day due to physical discomfort.

"Daniel, tomorrow—"

"Wait, Andy, it's Kevin on the phone. He should be here to tell me which agent I chose for me."

"Hi, Kevin.—What? My God, what did you say?"

Daniel's face suddenly faded from the relief that he had just recovered, and a Chinese saying suddenly popped up in his heart, "It's not that we don't report, the time has not yet come."
