Ace Hollywood

(Suddenly found out that Zhou's recommendation didn't arrive at 100 yuan, and really didn't give it to me for 100 yuan... Well, I'll send you a 6,000-word chapter, so do you prefer small chapters or big chapters?)

"Young man in the limelight!"

"Entertainment Weekly" published an article on the second day of the celebration banquet. This is an entertainment publication with a long history. In fact, it was only born in New York nine years ago, but it has the support of its parent company Time Warner. , as well as editor-in-chief Jess Caller's strong execution and precise positioning, it quickly established a position in the American entertainment industry and has a well-known influence.

Unlike "US Weekly", "People", "Trend" and other established magazines chasing celebrities, "Entertainment Weekly" is more interested in hot topics, industry and film and television reviews. In addition, it is different from the orthodox "Variety" and "The Hollywood Reporter", which are popular with insiders, and "Entertainment Weekly", which is good at digging out new things and conflicting news, is closer to ordinary people who love gossip.

This time, they set their sights on Daniel Sandler, who has repeatedly created public opinion crazes since the summer break. Unfortunately, although the report did not resort to written reprimands, they can still clearly see their tendency.

"The rugby inspirational movie "Campus Blues" held a grand celebration party at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly yesterday. In less than a month, it has already won more than 70 million box office, and the presidents of Paramount and Universal must be laughing from ear to ear.

In addition to them, the film also contributed a superstar to American audiences in the form of Daniel Sandler, who played a fat player to his taste. But when the movie came out, it turned out that it wasn't like that at all. Unlike Billy, this young man had a delicate face and a **** body. He was by no means the kind of high school student who would be ridiculed and ignored.

We have to pay tribute to him or his agent, the strong contrast inside and outside the film, let him surpass the more popular James Van de Beek and Paul Walker as the biggest winner of this movie, and the Internet is full of His news, he seems to be the first Internet star of the Internet age in the mouths of those in Silicon Valley. And critics seem to agree that the supporting role is truly phenomenal. His soaring popularity saw him become part of Peter Jackson's seven-year-old magical mega-production, The Magic Trilogy, and then astoundingly landed the lead role of "Gladiator" Commodius, which was Second only to the role of Russell Crowe.

In an interview, he said that he came to Los Angeles from Brooklyn, New York, after Christmas last year. In just half a year, he has gained so much attention that he can be called the easiest star in Hollywood.

At last night's celebration dinner, Daniel also became the most eye-catching one. Burberry's classic style was even more eye-catching than the new season's new styles against the backdrop of his charming figure, while Ben Stiller, Catherine Zeta-Jones, James Aniston, especially Crowe, made the whole party star-studded. They all had a good time with Danielle. It seemed that they were there to meet this popular superstar. Crowe even spent the night with him. Daniel chatted, of course, they were about to collaborate, it's no surprise there was so much talk.

Yes, Daniel **** is so popular these days that people forget that he has only had one movie out so far, and that's even a supporting role. Why does everyone think he's going to be the next DiCaprio or Matt Damon or even Tom Cruise. Even the quality of The Lord of the Rings and Gladiator is reassuring, but that doesn't mean Daniel **** will succeed.

We have no intention of rejecting the rise of a new super idol, but at least until he has enough persuasion, for example, a movie that can be called a masterpiece, or a golden man, even just a nomination is fine, but now, Daniel has neither.

Maybe it's time for us to calm down. "

In his residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Johnny Depp flipped through the report from "Entertainment Weekly". He has been very busy recently. He is eager to make a career breakthrough. He has taken on a lot of work. This year he has three films released, "Space". Alien, "The Ninth Door" and "Sleeping Valley", he also has two new films "When Night Falls" and "Chocolate" that he plans to release next year, the latter has not yet started shooting, but will join the group soon.

That's not all, he also signed a contract for three new films.

Johnny can be called the most hard-working star in the whole of Hollywood. With a salary of 8 million, he is constantly producing new works, expecting a blockbuster good thing.

But even so, he "unintentionally" mentioned Daniel's recent scene when he was chatting with friends in the media circle. The "Entertainment Weekly" report may not have been motivated by him, but at least it suits his taste.

What the hell, this young man got the news from Tracy's assistant that he was going to be suppressed, and actually refused Tracy's contract.

Many people can't ask for it, and his new agent is said to be no more than a few years older than him.

It's a pity that everything developed so unreasonably, this Hollywood loser who was supposed to be mediocre suddenly became famous, and he even took over the films of Peter Jackson and Ridley Scott.

Although Tracy didn't mention it, he always felt that Tracy didn't care, but she was mature enough, and the matter had come to an end, and because Daniel influenced each other's cooperation, it was too unwise.

Cusa saw this report not far from Depp. He is familiar with Hollywood rules. He is not surprised by this report. No one can get the support of all the media, because the media itself needs to get attention through different judgments. and sales.

He was just a little worried that Daniel would affect his mood because of this. He was going to film in Italy soon, so he couldn't be affected at this time.

Of course, Daniel is not so weak. In fact, he is definitely more familiar with negative comments than overwhelming praise.

The article in "Entertainment Weekly" even gave him a sense of pleasure due to familiarity.

I have to say, it's a little bit awkward.

Daniel has been pushed to this height by public opinion, and now he is swaying in public opinion. In the end, it is his role that can explain everything.

According to the release plan, the second part of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" will not be released until the end of 2002. Instead, "Gladiator" is expected to be launched in the second half of next year. Commodius, a role that has cost them countless efforts, can really influence To Daniel's foothold in Hollywood.

After coming back from Cameron Diaz's banquet, Daniel came into contact with many people who were only known by his name. Cameron obviously regarded this banquet as an important social place.

In addition to Ben Stiller, who was present on the day of the celebration banquet, the two of them collaborated on the hit "I'm Crazy for Mary". Cameron also invited many collaborators, the less mainstream Keanu Reeves. Bad-tempered Julia Roberts, "The Marker" director Danny Boyle, and "Challenge Sunday" director Oliver Stone.

This allowed Daniel to see the real Hollywood high-end party.

Casts like the celebration banquet of "School Blues" are not enough to watch.

He also didn't receive special treatment that night. Although Cameron was very enthusiastic, she was so busy that she could only chat in a hurry. Julia Roberts didn't pay any attention to Daniel at all, except for Ben who had a relationship. Stiller, but Keanu Reeves took time out of his busy schedule to talk to him for a while.

Keanu's "The Matrix" was released this year, and the box office in the United States was about 170 million, which is certainly not bad compared to the production cost of more than 60 million, and with the start of overseas distribution, in various countries and regions. They all performed well. Keanu deserves to be worth a lot, and this is obviously a series production launched by Warner. Keanu, who is sitting on a mainstream commercial series, has steadily entered the ranks of first-line stars, and his salary even exceeds Johnny Depp.

Of course, Daniel and Keanu had no friendship. The reason why they had the opportunity to chat for a while was entirely because they were both hiding in a corner. In fact, the two did not talk about any substantive content, but talked about Hollywood and current affairs.

The reason why Daniel had to attend is just because he needs to tell others, whether it is actors, directors or producers, that he has reached this level, and his future opportunities and treatment will match this level.

In other words, it's just a statement of worth, and of course everyone who goes up does that. Explain your level through various occasions.

Before leaving the United States, Daniel finally met Mark, and David was busy with his livelihood. Daniel did want to help David find a more promising job before, but was rejected by David. The reason he gave was that he did not want to work in the entertainment industry, and he was very happy now. With the new chef at Claire's Hot Dog, maybe one day he will have a hot dog shop of his own.

Daniel has no intention of exerting "goodwill control" on anyone, everyone is free, his future and present.

Mark is still studying at Stanford, but he is already working part-time at a company that, according to him, is full of code charm, and everyone is fascinated by the Internet and technology.

Then it has nothing to do with me. Daniel thought to himself.

They met at Stanford, because Mark is really busier than him, and their products will be launched in less than half a year when they reach a critical moment. Even on this day, they are finally taken out.

"They were very surprised that I took the time to meet a Hollywood star."

"Didn't you tell him that even the President of the United States is waiting to see me?"

"..." Mark glanced at him, "Larry also said the same thing. He said that when we succeed, Clinton or the next president will meet us with great enthusiasm."

Daniel became interested in Larry, "It sounds like your boss is as amazing as me."

"No wonder when I inquired about Hollywood, they said it was a dirty, vain, money-worshipper—"

"Okay, let's have a coffee, Mark." Daniel interrupted him quickly, listening to the computer science undergraduate say complicated words like squeezing toothpaste, and it wasn't very pleasant. It was really not a pleasure.

Daniel drove by himself, but the car was rented. It cost 25 dollars a day, a used Buick, and it was very suitable for him to come to Stanford University to meet his childhood friends, right?

Of course, because of this, they can't secretly drink beer, they can only drink coffee honestly, and it's also a coffee shop that sells desserts and cheese.

The weather was too hot, so he had to take off his sunglasses. Knowing that he is now famous, the probability of being recognized is very high.

The waiter just now recognized him. After all, he is Stanford, not too far from Los Angeles, but he can indeed understand the influence of the Internet. As "Entertainment Weekly" said, there has not been a star who has gained such rapid Internet access. In a sense, Daniel became the first lucky person in the Internet age.

His personal blog now has a popularity ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands every day. The content is only some excerpts of historical facts of the Roman era, after reading the original book "The Lord of the Rings", and of course some personal life. Viewers commented accordingly. Call him a rich, humorous and interesting person.

Some film critics are already using blogs to write online film reviews, but their number of visitors is far below that.

So much so that Richard, a writer for the "Chicago Sun", said with jealousy that Daniel could change his job as a film critic. With his influence on the Internet, someone must offer him a lot of money.

Unfortunately, he was quickly ridiculed by Daniel's fans. They questioned how much Richard had charged for the reviews he wrote in the past. Is this how he got his 3,000-foot mansion in Chicago?

Richard had to hurriedly delete the original blog post and clarify his fair position.

Roger Albert, his colleague, mocked Richard mercilessly on his blog, calling him a clown.

Roger's blog is also a huge influence in the film category.

Richard provoked Daniel and was mocked by Roger, and he did not update his blog for almost three months.

He may also be the first film critic to feel "fan violence" in the entertainment industry.

After the rise of social media, film critics will adapt to this kind of treatment. As long as you review a certain movie, there are bound to be people who disagree with your article.

Fortunately, today's fans are more rational. For example, the waiter in this coffee house did not disturb the two of them to eat.

But that's not all.

The exception was this little doll-like girl in front of her. She rushed over and stared at Daniel with wide eyes.

"Are you Daniel Sandler?"

After looking at Mark, Daniel looked behind the little girl, "Little beauty, where is your family?"

"I asked you first. You have to answer me first, and then I will answer you."

"Okay, okay, yes, I'm Daniel, hello, what's your name? Also, are you alone?"

"My name is Catherine Roche Alba, and I'm here with my sister."

The little girl answered solemnly, and then suddenly blushed and said, "Daniel, can I kiss you?"

Mark was a little sluggish. It was beyond the imagination of a computer nerd for a little beauty to take the initiative to send a kiss.

"Oh, of course, Catherine, have you met me online?"

"Yes, I have seen your photo. You are my biggest idol, bigger than my sister." Catherine approached excitedly and touched Daniel's left cheek lightly.

Seeing Catherine's shy appearance, Daniel was a little bit dumbfounded, and a few photos helped him capture a little "brain fan".

"Casey, Casey?"

Daniel heard someone calling eagerly, and he quickly answered, "Ma'am, your child is here, compartment 304."

After a while, a tall and slender lady walked in hastily, and was obviously relieved when she saw Catherine.

"Wow," Daniel exclaimed in a low voice. It's true that he has never seen a beautiful girl, but the person who came here still surprised him a bit, not to mention Mark, this kid probably has never seen such a beautiful girl in his life. .

"Jessica, it's Daniel." Catherine said excitedly, grabbing her sister's skirt.

Jessica also seemed very surprised. After a while, she said, "Mr. Sandler, it's an honor to meet you. My sister likes you very much."

"Yes, I also like her very much, Catherine, don't you?" Daniel looked at Catherine, and the little girl nodded proudly.

"Daniel, Jessica is also a big star." Catherine quickly showed off her cousin.

Daniel suddenly realized at this time that Jessica Alba and James Cameron starred in the Fox TV series "Doomsday".

The TV series didn't come out, so Jessica wasn't that well-known yet.

But this beautiful California girl has also begun to be called "American Sweetheart" in the past two years. If it wasn't for Daniel's indifference to his Hollywood colleagues, he wouldn't have recognized her.

"Oh, Jessica, I'm not very familiar with Hollywood, so—"

Jessica didn't care, she winked playfully, "I know you've only been an actor for half a year."

Mark has remained silent since Jessica appeared.

It wasn't until Daniel introduced him to Jessica that he awkwardly greeted Jessica.

Catherine covered her mouth and laughed at him. Many boys would feel nervous when they saw Jessica, but Marco was still too exaggerated.

He could hardly say a complete sentence.

"He's a genius specializing in networking and computers, just like Bill Gates, just not very good at talking in front of beautiful ladies."

"Yes, your major is cool." Jessica and Mark nodded. Networking technology is really cool these days.

Jessica had already settled the bill. She found Catherine missing when she went back to get the sun hat. So I just had a little chat with Daniel, and I was about to leave first.

Catherine was still a little reluctant, "Daniel, can I go to Los Angeles to play with you?"

"Of course, I can take you to the beach in Malibu to pick up conch."

Catherine's eyes lit up again, which brought too much trouble to Jessica. Almost every time she called, Catherine always reminded Jessica to take her to Daniel to play.

It's a pity that Daniel flew around in Italy and Malta, and even if Jessica really looked for him, there was nothing he could do.

…

Daniel, who went to Stanford to catch up with Mark, was carefree and even exchanged numbers with the new American sweetheart, Jessica Alba. But there are not so good things in Cusa in Los Angeles. In addition to his own job, he has been paying close attention to the influence of different voices from "Entertainment Weekly" in recent days.

As he expected, several heavyweight publications turned to support "Entertainment Weekly", believing that public opinion held Daniel too high, and it was too early to say that he would become a superstar.

But there were also surprises. Daniel reminded him to pay more attention to the Internet, so he also used the Internet as a reference direction, but this time, the Internet and the print media appeared completely different. Once the electronic version of "Entertainment Weekly" was published , was immediately attacked by a large number of Daniel fans.

"Look, the old-fashioned media are about to start killing young idols again. In their opinion, only those who are too old to walk in their seventies or eighties are eligible for praise."

"Hollywood is ruined by these people. Since the end of the golden age, they have nothing but seniority."

"Daniel is about to shoot "The Lord of the Rings" and "Gladiator". If his acting skills are not enough to support the role, are the directors of both plays blind?"

"The report is full of condescension and decadence, and there are obviously a lot of deliberate things. For example, at the celebration banquet, it was obvious that other creators also received attention, not just Daniel."

"Entertainment Weekly" was scolded as a dog's blood spray, and many of Daniel's websites and discussion boards were filled with righteous indignation.

The completely different feedback from the Internet and the print media made Cusa pondered. Of course, he could see the power of the Internet. In fact, if it were not for the Internet, Daniel would not have the momentum he has now.

He wrote it down on a notepad and decided to chat with an acquaintance on a website.

Daniel rushed back to Los Angeles from Stanford that night and flew to Rome the next day.

Andy followed him to Rome. He discussed with Cusa whether to change to a male assistant, but he was rejected. Women have a monopoly in the field of assistants because of their attentiveness and other advantages. Cusa obviously believed that. this.

Rome in July is not as hot as Los Angeles, even a little leisurely.

And the pace in Europe is slower than in the US, and here there is even a feeling that the years have stopped at times. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

If it wasn't for Andy's constant urging, Daniel thinks he can feel the legendary city of Rome more deeply.

"Gladiator" has to shoot a lot of scenes in the Colosseum. In fact, the climax of the film takes place in the Colosseum. The Colosseum was built in the 1970s and has been around for two thousand years. It is the real symbol of the Roman Empire. If you are in it, if you know something about the Roman history, then once you close your eyes, you can feel the grand occasion of the Colosseum.

The Roman emperor greeted the warriors who returned from victory here, all of them brave and powerful. In the middle of the Colosseum, captured Germanic or barbarian slaves fought desperately with lions. Whether it was the blood of lions or slaves, they all added to the glory of Rome. The proud Roman citizens filled the four-tier seats. Constantly applauding, shouting, and going crazy for the fight.

"How is it? Do you feel it?"

Ridley deliberately brought him and Russell Crowe here on the first day.

"Yes, I felt the cheers of my people, and it was an intoxicating taste, as if, as if I were the greatest Roman emperor who surpassed Marcus, my people would die for me, they Respect me immensely." Daniel closed his eyes, "Everyone is allegiance to me, and I am the center of everyone."

Daniel entered the world of Commodius almost instantly, and the vicissitudes of two thousand years of history led his emotions to the grand Roman Empire.

And he is the emperor of the great empire, the undisputed emperor!
