Ace Hollywood

Besides congratulations, Francis also brought another news.

Peter will travel to New Zealand with the main cast on September 13. According to the filming plan, Legolas will not start until after December.

"I'm sorry, but you may not be able to spend Christmas in America."

Francis said apologetically.

Daniel put down the phone and called Cusa immediately. Cusa is now taking up all the positions around him, such as agent, assistant, lawyer, etc. Today he started to look for a new house for him.

Because these days, Daniel finds himself often recognized, and has been followed to residential areas. His photos were also circulated in various media, and his performance in "Campus Blues" also made a splash.

"Even though I'm reluctant, I still have to tell you, Daniel, you're a popular movie star now." Kusa told him with a smile.

Of course, Daniel didn't call him to ask about the house. After paying the tens of thousands of dollars just received to CAA and Kusa, as well as the bills for installation and travel, there was not much left, so he rented a set in the high-end apartment area. The small house is still a bit difficult for him.

But had to.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, dear Cusa."

"Say!"

"I think we have to seriously think about the next job tomorrow. You know, it was originally scheduled to enter the group in September, but Francis just called me, and my role only started in December, which means we have more than half a year. Empty."

Kusa murmured on the other end of the phone, "This is really big news. Well, let's go to CAA tomorrow, oh right, I just received the cumulative box office, 34.59 million in the first week, Fox's estimated box office adjustment 85 million. Elon said there will be a celebration party, please be sure to attend."

"Finally someone forced me to attend the banquet. I know, good night, Kusa."

…

Kusa arrived at the company early the next morning, reprinted the production list, made preliminary screening, and classified them into different categories. Of course, it was not that he had not done it before, but he was somewhat taken lightly.

"Your coffee."

Curtie is an ordinary staff member of the company. Although he serves several brokers including Cusa, he seldom took the initiative to bring coffee to Cusa before. Since Daniel became the youngest wave of CAA After becoming one of the more powerful actors, his treatment in the company has also risen subtly.

Whether it's Cusa or Daniel himself, in fact, they are slowly tasting the sweetness brought by fame.

"Thank you, Kodi, you are so beautiful today."

"Really. Thank you for the compliment." Cordy showed her obvious deep grooves inadvertently. She was wearing a short one-piece dress, the neckline was a little big, and when she came in, she deliberately pulled it down a little bit. Leaked, really tempting.

Kusa put down the coffee and winked at Cody, "Honey, I'm a little busy now, how about having dinner together at night?"

"If it's the steak at Divant's."

"No problem, see you tonight."

After completing an agreed reproduction event, Cusa picked up the materials again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Daniel also arrived at CAA, where he is now a bit like a real Hollywood star.

Cusa put several materials in front of him.

"I have removed those movies that couldn't make a splash. Now that's all. I've roughly divided them into three categories: small-production male protagonists, which are few, and big-production supporting roles, which decrease in number according to the importance of supporting roles, and some It seems that there are seemingly non-existent roles. Maybe they are interested in a few free news after you join. The most popular are some small and medium-sized youth films. But it is relatively stable, and the price given by the third category is also relatively high.”

Daniel was still curious, "How much did you give the most?"

"Let me think about it, this is it," Cusa handed Daniel the material. "To be honest, I'm quite tempted. They offered $400,000, but it's a women's film. Of course, if you go, you'll be fine. Can be considered a hero."

""Legal Blonde"?"

"Yes, it tells a vulgar story of a bad girl who got lost and got both money and sex. Your character is that 'sex'. Is it called Werner Escent?"

Daniel has heard about this film, and the investment of 16 million is enough.

"It sounds like you have better suggestions."

Kusa snapped his fingers and handed over another copy, ""Gladiator", A-level production, over 100 million investment, the main male supporting role. Do you feel that your heart is boiling?"

"But, it's very, very challenging, and as far as I know, even waiting for Russell Crowe's weight loss results, oh, you've got experience, the film won't start later than July, which means we've only got In less than a month, go for this role."

Cusa pointed to "Comedius", the male support and villain of "Gladiator".

Daniel rubbed these pieces of paper, "It goes without saying that the benefits are A-level production of male supporting characters, epic themes, and extremely challenging character settings. But what we must discuss first is that, for us, this movie Isn't it too incredible. I mean, beyond our efforts."

"Indeed, I don't deny it, it's pretty crazy. I got some information from their assistant director, the role of Commodius has been tried a lot of people, he's very demanding of actors and has to be young, your buddy Paul Walker was also one of the candidates, but Ridley, I mean the director, producer, and one of the writers of the film, Ridley Scott, was not happy with his performance, which made Universal's executives are not very happy, but he doesn't care, he's a big director."

"But, the bad news is, they've got a target, Joaquin Fickness, you may not know him, but he had an older brother who died of a drug overdose in front of Johnny Depp's bar a few years ago, Right in Los Angeles."

"Rifan?"

River Fickness, before he left, was the shadow of almost all young Hollywood actors. His talent is unparalleled. He was nominated for an Oscar at the age of 17 and became the best actor at the Venice Film Festival at the age of 21. Public opinion even gave him the entire nineties prematurely.

He died in front of Joaquin, which was unimaginable for Joaquin. He stayed away from Hollywood for three years for this reason, and until now, he has gradually returned to the normal track.

Joaquin's experience has given him a maturity and content that surpasses others.

"So, you mean someone will help him?"

Cusa glanced at Daniel, "Joaquin returned to Hollywood in 1995, and only has a good chance today. If someone helps him, how can it be after people take the tea? Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeve Si, they are all friends of his brother, but who has come out to help him? His advantages, the first is that his acting skills are indeed extraordinary, and the second is that his performance can undoubtedly help publicity in the later stage, Rui Fan's younger brother, For those who have been touched by that genius boy, isn't it a good chess move?"

"Joaquin understands this?"

"Of course, Joaquin's agent Philip is WME's top agent. Although Phoenix is ​​not a capable actor in his hands, but doing these things without the knowledge of the actors will often end up being slapped with eggs and even causing scandals. Philip can't do this. Kind of stupid."

Daniel understood, Joaquin Phoenix couldn't stand it anymore after sitting on the bench in Hollywood for a few years. Maybe he once insisted not to consume his dead brother, but apparently he doesn't think so now.

"I think I have a general understanding of the situation, so let's talk about our advantages. By the way, is it easier than before to get an audition opportunity now?"

"Of course," Kusa pointed to the sheet material on the table, "these things are no joke. Although Ridley likes Joaquin, he will definitely not give up looking for a more suitable candidate. Most importantly, You are the more suitable one."

Daniel stood up, pushed Kusa's window open, took a deep breath, and turned around.

"Our enemy, the first one is Joaquin Phoenix. If my performance can't surpass him, I don't need to say anything."

"Secondly, although Ridley said the same thing, but human affection is unavoidable. The people Philip knows, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com has more connections than you and I put together. How to defeat him is the second point. ."

"Thirdly, besides performance, do we have other advantages? If it's just the above two points, we are really too passive, either we succeed or we're out of the game."

Cusa nodded, "Yes, yes."

"We have to address it one by one, about your acting, Daniel, you should go and see some Joaquin movies, but I believe in you, Daniel, the professionalism and ability you showed in preparing Legolas, very outstanding."

"The performance should be left to Ridley to judge. We can easily know his attitude. If the determination is made, then get the opportunity to audition as soon as possible."

In terms of performance, Daniel is indeed fearless. The performance level of Chinese filmmakers is no worse than that of Hollywood. Moreover, after coming to the United States, his performance bottleneck has also made a huge breakthrough. American logical thinking, cultural background, etc. And so on, his performance has benefited a lot from the blending of the East and the West. Now it's just a matter of running in, and perfecting his performance system through works one by one.

"OK, then now is the second obstacle, Philip." Cusa smiled bitterly, "I'm so sorry, this time I lost the chain."

"Cusa!" Daniel gave him a disapproving look, "Even an A-level production character doesn't deserve our self-doubt. Greatness, you said, our goal is greatness."

"I don't think we need to think about everything," Cusa cheered. "Get an audition first, and then see Ridley's reaction. Maybe it's not as bad as we thought."
