Ace Hollywood

The meeting with Michael was destined to be a disappointment. In fact, this should not surprise Daniel. If there is a better candidate, obviously Melissa will not be the only one on the set.

"Although I asked you to think carefully, Tracy is indeed a good choice." Michael was slightly embarrassed, "I don't know many people in this regard. Some of CAA's friends are not particularly well-known."

Powerful agents are no longer so keen on newcomers. The golden age of Hollywood for actors has passed. Although superstars such as Tom Cruise still have a strong voice, in the general environment, actors are no longer as important as before. This directly leads to the fact that the agents do not need to contact the actors at the beginning, in order to leave them a friendship when they were not prosperous.

The common practice among top managers now is that instead of spending energy on new actors, it is better to wait for them all to grow up. After all, actors will always need managers, and they, these powerful agents, can provide actors with the necessary resources to further their careers. Quality resources.

This is also the biggest reason why it is extremely difficult for small brokerage firms to succeed.

When the phone from Tracy rang, Daniel was about to surrender. It's not that he didn't think about impressing investors with the few movies he remembered in his mind, and then he went down a different path, but now he is not famous, has no connections, and film projects rarely attract investment. When people see it, they cry when they want to invest. In that way, he's no different from those who hold a script and wait for investors to pick it up. Even if he knew in his heart that the movie would be a success, what dream chaser didn't think so? Instead of waiting hopelessly, accept Tracy's arrangement.

But in the end, Daniel's unwillingness made him decide to delay it again. The contract has not been read, which is a good excuse.

This is the first time Daniel has felt his own insignificance and powerlessness. His more than ten years of acting experience in China can hardly play any role in this regard. The difference between the film circles on both sides of the Pacific Ocean is too great. In addition, having to ask for help with only a few friends made him very embarrassed and uncomfortable.

The first phone call to hope was from... Allie Larter.

Ellie's voice sounds much better, maybe she can help Daniel to have a more convincing explanation for her choice, see, if it doesn't do that, I'm going to be the same as Daniel.

"You mean the hero of "The God of Death"?"

The "Death Is Coming" crew really lacks a leading actor, not because they can't find a suitable candidate, but because there are too many candidates. The movie is script-driven and almost entirely relies on the hints and clues set by the script. It means that there are no performance requirements for actors. From the first round of auditions to now, from the director to the producer, to the investor, there are countless calls.

Daniel knew that even if he went to the audition, he had little hope, but he still decided to give it a try.

The audition was arranged very quickly, and Daniel quickly met the producer Ellie had committed to. To be honest, although he was bald and slightly fat, he didn't look so disgusting.

The audition performance is also very simple, just a panic performance in the face of the hint of death.

Daniel didn't know if it was because he was too sensitive. The producer looked at him with special meaning.

He soon got the answer. On the night he came back from the audition, a young man named Devin walked into the producer's room.

This is also what Ellie told him. Ellie's later words were the producer's hint to him: he was more interested in Daniel than in Devon.

He almost threw the phone away in shock, and then even laughed, "God, he is really, really an amazing person, kill him!"

"Go to hell, I admit it, Tracy is Tracy, I'll sign with her next time I call, **** it."

After Daniel vented, he lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling blankly.

He once dismissed the darkness of Hollywood, thinking it was just an excuse for a loser. In his detached vision, the future should be bright, with a big box office hit and numerous awards.

That's a real joke.

This is not China, and he is no longer a pivotal figure.

Here, he is one of those losers, the one completely obscured by the dark shadows of Hollywood.

How can I be a **** seller? Just get out of this maddening situation, right? Daniel even turned his thoughts around.

Of course, this eventually surpassed his bottom line.

Daniel stayed silent in the rented house for two days, until the phone rang again, and he answered it calmly and resignedly, "Trey—"

"Hello, Mr. Sandler."

"Uh?"

"Hello, we have a relationship on the set of "Death Is Coming", I'm Cusa Damon."

Daniel remembered that he seemed to bring another actor to the audition. It was an actress, a less important role. When the assistant director was auditioning, he waited outside and chatted with Daniel a few words.

"Cusa, hello."

Cusa made an invitation, but Daniel had no intention of rejecting it.

The two met at the Blue Jasmine Cafe.

"You look a lot more haggard than a few days ago." Cusa stirred the sugar cube, and he didn't seem to intend to start the conversation step by step, but seemed a little aggressive, "Have you been baptized by the rules of Hollywood? That old pervert Tera I know very well his habit. You should be very much in line with his taste, but now it seems that you should have refused."

Daniel was surprisingly not emotional.

Kusa didn't care, he just kept talking, "I've been in the industry for three years, because I don't want to be an assistant to a big agent, so I've been bringing new people, some of them are very smart, they get some opportunities with their bodies, and then kick off I, others can't accept that their Garden of Eden is actually a brothel, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com chose to leave Hollywood. But it seems to me that you are neither, you have no intention of betraying yourself and leaving here because Got some not-so-good options?"

This is a sharp person.

"What do you want to do?" Daniel put his fingers on his chin, "Mr. Damon, what is your purpose."

"Sign you."

Daniel laughed.

"Besides the CAA's sign, Cusa, what else do you have? Don't call me mean, because I just discovered that this is the lingua franca of Hollywood."

"No, of course not. I'm sure now that you have options that look better than me, but aren't good enough, can you tell me?"

"Why not? Tracey Jacobs, do you know her? If I meant to, I would have been a UTA person a few days ago."

"Johnny Depp?" Cusa's tone changed from suspicion to certainty. "Tracy's ace rejected you? I'm curious, how did you know. Logically, such information should not be It's something a rookie can inquire about."

"Cusa, why?"

Cusa Damon turned his coffee cup. The first time he saw Daniel, he felt that he was a young man with unlimited potential. Of course, his physical condition was outstanding enough, but there was also an unexplainable quality. Tell Cusa that the boy without an agent is going to be a big surprise for him, so he rounded up some information from the crew and contacted Daniel.

He was actually spotted by Tracy Jacobs.
