Ace Hollywood

Chapter 101: regain purpose

Daniel is almost enjoying his shudder at the news. To be honest, so far, apart from Commodius in "Gladiator", all the other roles, including "Gladiator", have given him a deep sway. Neither Legolas in The Lord of the Rings nor Jason Bourne in The Bourne Bourne had his excitement.

Money, status, awards, these works are almost all in the calculation, the shooting is completed, even "Gladiator" is the same, but in an environment like the ancient Roman Colosseum, he was stimulated to fall into In the dark charm of Commodius.

However, "The Pianist" really touched his point. To a certain extent, the joy Jessica gave him couldn't compare to this kind of stimulation.

Under the baptism of Hollywood's rules, the experience of more than ten years in the last life gradually hidden, but when he heard the movie "The Pianist", these hidden drama genes burst out all at once. One of the things Brooklyn had in mind when he decided to come to Hollywood was the freedom it would give him to make movies.

However, in the pursuit of Hollywood-style success, this has now become dispensable.

Daniel knew he was not a saint or a Buddha who had an epiphany, but he believed that if Polanski could make this film, a World War II film about a true experience—different from Saving Private Ryan, but with a deeper meaning far beyond the latter.

He loves the movie, he's seen it many times, and Daniel is fascinated by the film's nuanced depiction of history, and Adrien Brody's performance is amazing. Similar movies of the country, but without such a script, it is impossible to be allowed to "objectively" express that glorious and sad history, emphasizing the individual, not all the righteous sides are good people, and not all the antagonistic sides are bad people , there is no coercion, only observation from a certain angle - not necessarily correct, but independent, without selfishness.

"Tim," Daniel pursed his lips, "As far as I know, Polanski's new work should be a memoir from Veratislo Spearman, telling the story of his own experience in World War II, a Heartbreaking story."

Tim was amazed at Daniel's "informed knowledge".

"Daniel, your vision is amazing, you can even pay attention to the movie project in London," Tim said here, almost amazed, "I know how busy you are, Harvey, who just left. I've been very busy lately, you know, "Chocolate," but it's not that easy to get another Oscar winner."

After Gwyneth's Oscar win for Shakespeare in Love, Juliette Binoche is apparently hardly Harvey's second masterpiece.

Oscar is not that stupid.

Cusa, who was sitting on the side, remained calm, but he was much more familiar with Daniel than Tim Roland. He knew that his partner was starting to burn, which meant that this opportunity was really what he wanted.

"Oh no," Daniel smiled apologetically, "Tim, as much as I want to admit that I have this vision, I have to be honest, I have a lot of respect for director Roman Polanski, and at the same time, I have Ronald Harwood's memoir is also well known, and by coincidence I couldn't help but know that Polanski was planning to make the film, returning to Poland for the first time in forty years to make a film about The World War II movies, anyway, are compelling, and he's auditioning 1,400 male actors in London, and it's not that small."

Tim smiled and nodded, "It's a surprising coincidence, but why didn't you want to audition? He even got an advertisement for an actor in a London newspaper."

Daniel spread his hands, "To be honest, I'm not sure I'm suitable for the role of Spearman. He's Polish and good at the piano, while I'm an American in Brooklyn and only have a little skin on the piano."

He is not humble, his piano comes from a wave of Chinese parents letting their children learn piano, test grades and then show off in parent and school activities. This is the main purpose.

As for the reason he said, it was completely made up.

He was really interested and excited about "The Pianist", but he didn't think that the film was about to start filming before. The film that will be released next year will definitely start filming at the end of this year. He didn't set aside time for "Piano" at the beginning of his schedule. "Home", but these are not a problem now, as long as Polanski says yes, he can make time between promoting a few movies, such as "Legal Blonde" after the release, and even he can miss "The Lord of the Rings" Some of the publicity activities -- this is not a problem, in the contract, as a secondary actor, his publicity obligations are not many, and some of the agreements signed by Daniel later also stated that he only took 70,000 US dollars after all. There is more than this number of platforms for a commercial event, and The Lord of the Rings really can't ask him to do more.

Tim seemed to agree with his reasoning.

"If you really know the project, then I don't have to spend too much time with you, Polanski wants an actor who 'feels right', you have a very flattering look, and I think after simple makeup, There's no disagreement with you playing a Pole, and secondly, I think you feel right."

Speaking of this, Tim laughed again, "But it's useless. You have to have an appetite for Polanski to win this role. If you want, I think you can meet Polanski as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible? When can you?"

"Come with me tomorrow."

Daniel was silent for a moment and looked at Cusa Damon. The announcement of the Golden Globes is imminent. It is not suitable for him to leave Los Angeles, but if he misses this opportunity, he will not agree anyway.

"Cusa, I will go to Paris, but I will also stay in Los Angeles."

Cusa felt that Daniel's ambition must be won. He had a headache. His clients were too independent. The agent had not even read the script or the memoir, so he rashly decided to meet the director. Even Cusa was sure , as long as Polanski nods, Daniel will even sign him directly.

But no matter what, Cusa couldn't refuse.

"Danny, although I agree with your decision, you should understand that this is against the rules."

Daniel glanced at Cusa apologetically, "I understand, Cusa, but if I miss this work, for me, I will lose half of the meaning of being an actor."

Both Cusa Damon and Tim Rowland were shocked by Daniel's description.

With Daniel's achievements today, it will not be so difficult for him to act in small and medium-sized productions of first-class directors. Polanski is still a "suspect" director who does not dare to enter the United States, so this opportunity does not seem so attractive, especially in This important moment.

However, Daniel's solemnity is not like a joke or an exaggeration.

He really thought so.

"Okay, I support you."

"Thank you, Cusa," Daniel turned to Tim Rowland. "Sorry, Tim, it's a bit dangerous to leave Los Angeles at this time. You know, the Golden Globes are about to be awarded, and I'm a hot seed."

"Haha," Tim was successfully amused by him, "yes, I know, you're very hopeful. But if you have ambitions for the Oscars, you might as well contact Harvey, and when I get back to San Francisco or Los Angeles, you can Harvey is experienced, but the price is definitely not low, I will try my best to get you a preferential price."

Cusa was clearly shocked. The Weinstein brothers' Oscar PR is the best in Hollywood. They are Jewish, and they are like a duck to water in Hollywood. Secondly, they have sophisticated methods and wide connections. Their past achievements can fully prove this.

More importantly, there is no suitable candidate for Best Supporting Actor in Miramax's film this year.

It is said that Johnny Depp wants to run a best male supporting role, just like Benisot ran the Best Actor nomination in the Union Awards, but Oscar finally said no to him.

Depp's performance in "Chocolate" wasn't even Oscar-worthy.

"If you can, then thank you so much Tim."

Just after passing by with Harvey, Cusa made up his mind to be able to pull the Weinstein brothers. For Daniel, the confidence will rise rapidly. This year is an interesting year. '''s Benisot was a bit ahead, but Daniel's winning the New York Film Critics Association and the Screen Actors Guild Awards, two fairly important outpost awards, showed that he was in fact the biggest hit, despite the fact that he was the biggest hit on the ** company's plate. The odds are still higher than Beniso.

The main reason is his age. He is really too young. At the age of twenty-two, he won the Oscar for acting at such a young age~www.novelmt.com~ Anyway, I feel sorry for those seniors.

But the name of the boy is also a symbol of Hollywood's dream, and Oscar may not sell a little bit.

And according to Fred's technology assessment, with the release of reports from Mountain Eagle, Hollywood's interest in the Internet is rising sharply, and the speed at which Silicon Valley and Hollywood are hooking up is also rising, but so far, no one has easily Cross-border, more tentative contacts are with Shanying Company - this is a mature case, even if it is the Hollywood Seven, it may be normal for their parent company to invest in the Internet, but as a professional department and subsidiary, their investment scope is controlled.

This trend will also be picked up by the Oscars, which are facing a duty to be too old-fashioned and out of touch, with a large portion of its judges elderly, like Elizabeth Taylor, a representative of the golden age. The public is calling for it to be more up-to-date.

Echoing the Internet, it should be one of the directions for Oscar to consider more influential actors on the Internet.

This is extremely beneficial to Daniel.

Tim agrees to arrange a travel itinerary for Daniel so that he can avoid being smelled by the paparazzi.

The next day, Daniel's public itinerary was cancelled only an hour before the start, citing a sudden illness - caused by overwork and poor rest.

In addition to Fred, Daniel's team gathered in Malibu for the office.

At this time, Daniel Sandler, along with Tim, boarded the Boeing airliner to Paris.
