Ace Hollywood

"USC? By the way, those puppies at USC's School of Cinematic Arts—well, future directors about your age, recently came up with a new trick, inviting Hollywood stars to join them in their annual short film competition. "Kusa is a little dissatisfied with this job. I don't know if it is because of dissatisfaction with USC. It is not uncommon to know that universities and universities are not used to each other. It's as if MIT thinks its opponent is Harvard, and Harvard doesn't take it seriously, their target is Yale.

That's it.

The USC Film School has such an idea, it is not whimsical. It may be difficult for other film school students to let these big stars worth millions and tens of millions of dollars participate in a short film for free. These young people at USC have an obvious path.

Get assistance, help and sponsorship from those well-known alumni.

Look, who are those people, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas... Wait, how many stars will these big Hollywood directors say? What about swarming?

In fact, as long as they go through their own agents, most of the artists from the four major Hollywood brokerage companies cannot refuse.

Moreover, if the attention is enough, why should you refuse, support the young director, support the dream, support the future, oh, this is really a high-sounding good thing.

Daniel has been in the limelight recently, so he was fortunate enough to be invited. Specifically, he should have been spotted by a boy or girl from USC.

The mechanism works like this. Prospective directors who want to participate in the short film competition and decide to invite big stars will submit the list of candidates and replacements to the working group, and then the working group will contact people from the USC Hollywood Alumni Association, and then the joint Will - that is, the staff of these big directors, to contact the actors.

After the two sides have finalized the schedule, then start to determine the schedule, and if someone really does not give face or the schedule cannot be adjusted - this is actually an excuse, because the filming of the short film will not last more than a week, and you can't make it out for a week. Do you think you are Hanks? Or Cruise?

Basically, that group of students will get what they want.

From this point of view, Daniel's selection is really a great honor, because he is also selected with big-name male stars such as Brand Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Ben Stiller, and female stars. The stars are a little different, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, big names and newcomers alike.

"These students are overwhelmed. This must not be the last time to work with those big stars."

Everyone understands that the plan of the USC gang in Hollywood is to prepare some opportunities for their younger generation. Sometimes the power will form a group. For example, Jews are very powerful in Hollywood. The representatives of them are the Weinstein brothers. They can even Manipulating Oscar, yes, Gwyneth's "A History of Shawarma." In addition, the Australian gang should not be underestimated. The USC gang is also a member of an important team club. Steven or Lucas hope to continue or enhance the strength of this group.

This can be seen from the considerable amount of sponsorship they donate every year, and it can also be seen from this huge event.

"Now the whole of Hollywood, the entire American entertainment industry, is talking about this topic."

There is another reason for Cusa's unhappiness. Daniel is one of the few male rising stars selected. In addition to him, there is Mark Wahlberg, who is much older than him. Of course, he is also not old. Big Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, but they're not on that list, they've proven themselves.

In this way, Daniel is too conspicuous.

"Who chose me? With such a good opportunity, not looking for Toms, but looking for me?"

"I'm a Chinese. I had a brief conversation with him. He said that he had seen your "Campus Blues", and he felt that there was an inner strength and strength that belongs to the Orientals in you. God, I didn't see it very much."

"Is he the second or third generation of immigrants?"

"I don't know that, but he is obviously very smart. A Chinese director must start with oriental elements. Ann and John Wu both started with Chinese elements." Kusa's impression of the Chinese student seems to be pretty good." You do have some research on China and you have Chinese ancestry, maybe that's what makes him resonate with you."

"Oh, Cusa - can you not be so disgusting."

"Okay, but you're in a very tough situation right now. I have confidence in you, but not in him. If he can't beat those short films with big-name actors, you're in trouble."

Daniel is very strange. In this case, Cusa can completely use his busy schedule as an excuse to reject him. After all, he is not an important person. It is not difficult to understand that he wants to avoid the edge of those big people, but Cusa does not.

"Rejection? Daniel, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity. "Gladiator" will not be released for half a year. The doubts about you may continue. If you can perform well in this competition at the end of May at USC, you will You can slap them hard, and no one can say nasty words before your movie is released, or use acting as an excuse to smear you. Jonathan Zhu is still a good young man, he won the USC no. There are few awards, but he looks quite talented. This risk is worth taking."

"Did he give you the script?"

"Not yet, there's still a week left, he didn't expect to invite you to star, so he needs to make some revisions."

"Then we can talk about it when I go back to Los Angeles."

"Yes."

The two talked about the preparations for "The Bourne Bourne", and of course the earlier "Legal Blonde". This movie has changed a lot. Of course, the girl played by Witherspoon is still the absolute center of course, but Daniel's role in the lead role has increased significantly, which even made Daniel worry about whether the film will be a success as planned.

But he can't always say don't give me extra drama, I hate to give more performances here, unless he is crazy. Fortunately, the main line has not changed, and the charm of the movie should not be affected.

After a long conversation with Cusa, Daniel flipped through the script of "Pretty Beauty", which is indeed a fascinating story, and it is no wonder that it is chased by horror rivals such as "American Sweetheart" and "Jurassic Park 3". Under the kill, can achieve excellent box office.

After a day's rest, Daniel regained his energy.

After finishing his shooting in the studio, there are still some coordinating scenes, and he will return to Los Angeles in three days.

Then came USC, then the publicity work for "Legally Blonde" and "Gladiator", and then went back to New Zealand to shoot the rest of the scenes, and finally went back to "Bourne Bourne".

When Daniel left New Zealand, everyone said a short goodbye. Christopher Lee, who played Saruman, gave him a few rock discs. Ian said that he would take him to "rock" when Daniel came back. After explaining, Daniel understood another meaning of "rock" - looking for girls.

Flying back to Los Angeles from Wellington, at the airport, he realized where the trouble was that Cusa said.

The media and paparazzi who got the news of the flight were already waiting at the exit, and of course some of his fans.

Cusa and Andy were protecting him. Daniel was wearing sunglasses and didn't say a word the whole time. Now he doesn't know the situation.

Going straight back to the Malibu residence, both Kusa and Andy went home first, and Andy hadn't been home for several months.

Unsurprisingly, the tabloids and the Internet began to have news of his return to Los Angeles the next day.

The title is unified.

"Daniel returned to Los Angeles with a solemn expression and said nothing."

"Worried? Daniel declined to be interviewed."

"A new star has fallen? It's time to see the true chapter."

There's hardly anything good, even old friends like the Los Angeles Times can't give positive reviews, and they try to be as objective as possible in a small section with the headline "The Youngest Participant of the USC Short Film Contest - Daniel , back to Los Angeles".

Entertainment news requires them to find breaking points.

The youngest participant means the least trustworthy participant, which means the most failure-prone participant - so, Daniel is about to fail.

The logic of the entertainment industry is like this.

Daniel's fans struggled, and IMDB, blog sites, including LAH, responded with angry "you wait for the surprise".

But what you get is basically a joke, "I'm ready for a surprise—too bad."

"He doesn't deserve his current status at all. Oh my god, millions of dollars. Is Hollywood's money all coming from the wind? MGM has already broken the jar."

…

Some offices of WME and UTA are also paying attention to these.

Philip remained calm after Daniel took "The Bourne Bourne". Now Daniel is no longer a small person who can do anything at will. Even if Cusa's resources are not as good as him, there will be no decisive gap.

This is Hollywood, it's unfair to the extreme, but whoever is in the limelight of the trend will temporarily have the right to speak. This is the reality.

Philip didn't help, but this time was a perfect opportunity from God.

Daniel **** and Matt Damon will meet at the USC Short Film Contest, they'll make Bourne Bourne regret, a hairless Brooks hot dog boy, it's time to know he's not in God's favor of people.

Matt Damon is not so emotional about losing "The Bourne Bourne", because at least he still has the Lohan series in his hands. Although the coffee position is not as good as George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the cooperation with the super big name itself is a The only way to advance to the ranks of super big names. From the movie, they are the three main characters.

But his interest in Daniel grew even stronger, he heard this young man's name many times, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel... As if Philip's eyes had been on this man since he won a fight with Joaquin Phoenix , after winning "Gladiator".

Sometimes Matt starts to wonder if Philip offended Daniel or Cusa Damon, or why the other party always doesn't deal with them, but think about it, there are so many effective resources in Hollywood, and what suits Daniel is often also suitable For them, competition is inevitable.

Compared to Philip's sharpening of knives, Tracy Jacobs was a little disappointed.

She does have several big-name contracts in her hands, but not all of them are hers alone. CAA has set a precedent. Big-name stars are keen to put their eggs in several baskets. Except for Johnny Depp. Both Desen Ford and Gwyneth have other agents.

If Daniel stayed in her hands at that time, maybe she would have another potential ace at this time.

This time Johnny Depp will also participate. Two people who know each other well may have a contest.

Of course, Tracy never believes that Johnny Depp will lose, but no one will really ask Daniel to be at the same level as these seniors, although some people behind the scenes may not think so. As long as Daniel's performance is not good enough, there must be many people who attack him.

This young man is about to go through a test.

Derek Lane and Ridley Scott think so too, and there's now a new topic between old friends - Mr. Daniel Sandler. Of course they know everything, like Daniel taking The Bourne and taking out Matt Damon.

"He's really a bit of a villain." Ridley is completing the post-production of "Gladiator", and Daniel's outstanding performance has made him appreciate this talented actor more and more. His next new film, "Black Hawk Down," also wanted to work with Daniel, but after evaluation, he chose Josh Hartnett - also a newcomer, but not as over-the-top as Daniel. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"I have a deep understanding." Drake has often seen news about Daniel recently. All kinds of news were brought back by Melissa.

For more than a year, Daniel has been creating suspense one after another without stopping, and they are about to be revealed one by one.

"Dare to accept Steven's invitation, he is indeed full of confidence in himself."

"What do you think? Compared to Brad, George, Matt."

Ridley thought for a moment, "In the role of Commodius, maybe he will be the most perfect. But other works, it is difficult for me to judge, some people are suitable for a role but not necessarily Suitable for all roles, with his performance in "School Blues", I am afraid that he is still far from these big stars."

"But he took The Lord of the Rings and The Bourne Bourne."

"In the case of The Lord of the Rings, it should be because of his appearance. Don't you know about the elf incident? That's enough to be real. If I were Peter, I would choose him too. As for "The Spy", I heard that he did a good job. But Daniel and his agent ended up convincing a few key people that was the most important reason. No one knows how they did it."

Touching Frank with dreams, persuading Tony with cooperation, softening Universal with publicity values, winning Doug Liman with acting and character fit, this is what Daniel and Cusa did, so they made it, that, Drake And Ridley is not clear.

"This time, he did encounter difficulties."

"He is still young, what belongs to him will belong to him after all."
