Ace Hollywood

Chapter 52: 2 heroines

(Continue to strive for recommendation and collection)

"Hey, Qiao Sen, I'm not late." Daniel smiled and shook hands with the nervous Qiao Sen Zhu.

Johnson was a little nervous, but he still embraced Andy in a polite manner.

"Of course, you didn't."

"Haha, you don't look like a director who will graduate from USC. Look at Steven and Eastwood, they are all known for being 'brutal'."

Daniel's joke obviously made the directing student relax a lot, and he stretched his body.

"Daniel, I'm really nervous."

"That's right, I thought you'd call me Mr. Sandler, oh, I think that's too bad, I'm used to taking orders from directors, but what should I do with a director who always calls me Mr. "

"I think I understand what you mean, thank you." Johnson said gratefully, Daniel was telling him that a director must be able to control the shooting scene, otherwise your producer, your photography, your actors, will rob you of your power, and then you will fail.

"I once asked my agent, are you a second or third generation immigrant?"

"My parents were both born in China."

"Oh, the second generation, have you been to China?"

"No, there is no chance yet."

Daniel understood a few words. According to Qiao Sen's description, his script is a short film discussing the differences and integration of the East and the West, which requires him to understand the real East. However, he is a second-generation immigrant who has never been to an eastern country. There are misses.

Johnson took out the script and gave it to Daniel.

The meeting between the two today is mainly for this script. The acting must be performed, but everyone needs to work together seamlessly, and no one should be too individual.

"Silent Love"!

On the second page, two bold two-size characters are printed, and below it is written the screenwriter: JonM.Chu, Jonson's full name.

"Can I ask your Chinese name? It should be there, right?"

"Zhu Haowei."

"Zhu Haowei." Daniel repeated.

Qiao Sen was stunned, "Your Chinese pronunciation is really too standard."

Daniel smiled and started flipping the script.

After an hour, he looked up.

The short film is very straightforward. It wants to tell about the gap between the East and the West, so he set up two heroines, one is American and the other is Oriental, and the hero is a mixed-race deaf-mute pharmacist who works for an American pharmaceutical company.

He maintains these two relationships at the same time, and the two women have never met because of their completely different social circles.

Oriental girls are **** and sociable, while American girls are conservative and cautious and stay away from parties.

This setting is a bit deliberate, but quite interesting.

Everyone thinks that the East is synonymous with implicit and conservative, but not in the short film.

The male protagonist is always doing his job, he can't speak or hear.

But he went out to dances and parties with the Oriental girl, watching her with enthusiasm. He also snuggled silently with the American girl by the Hudson River in the sunset.

Until one day, he smashed all the instruments, resigned from the company, and disappeared.

The two girls began to dream, dreaming that they were drinking water, beverages and alcoholic beverages handed over by men...

Along with it, girls from the East abandoned their own traditions, while American girls restrained their nature. It turned out that they were not born like this, but were "transformed" by men.

The two began to look for a man. Following the clues, they found an inferior community full of discrimination. The man was holding a black and dirty little girl. He was holding a glass of water in his hand and was about to hand it to her.

This is not a popular script, it has its own special meaning.

Jonathan Zhu proved his ideas.

"I approve of this script, it's really good."

Johansson was obviously relieved, obviously he was struggling if Daniel asked for amendments, whether he would comply, or to what extent.

Daniel has no intention of destroying Johnson's dream, he just wants to know the level of the script.

He is walking on shave ice now.

"Thank God," Qiao Sen patted his heart, "you don't know how worried I am. Will you come to such a big meeting the day after tomorrow?"

"Of course!"

The meeting that Qiao Sen mentioned was the launch meeting of the short film competition. The students and stars in the early stage would meet to chat about the script, and then a meeting was led by a few big-name alumni to urge the stars to face this matter seriously. , in a timely manner to arrange the time to finish.

Not all the Hollywood actors participating in the show will participate, and they may not have the time.

"Are you sure about your heroine?"

This is a big problem. The design of the short film is 20 minutes long, and the two heroines have a lot of scenes.

"One has been determined," Johnson glanced at Daniel, wondering if he had a candidate of his own, "Jessica Alba, do you know her? What do you think?"

"Jessica plays Donna," Daniel imagined, this girl seems to be well-educated and should be a suitable candidate, "Is she too beautiful to like a deaf-mute?"

"Deaf and dumb people are so handsome, aren't they?" Qiao Sen made a little joke, "If Matthew grows up like you, there will always be some privileges."

"Where's Lizzie Lee? Who are you going to find? Lucy Liu?"

In Chinese aesthetics, Lucy Liu is not really a beauty, but she is one of the most famous Chinese female stars in Hollywood.

"Do you think it's suitable?" Qiao Sen hesitated, "I went to see her "Charlie's Angels" and I didn't think she was the candidate I wanted, so I didn't submit her to the federation as a choice."

Daniel and Lucy are not very familiar with each other, but as far as some established impressions are concerned, she and Lizzie are not quite right. What Jonson needs is a pure oriental woman, but she also needs to be convincingly western-style **** - for most of the time, maybe fifteen minutes, or seventeen minutes, Lizzie is an oriental **** Stunner, only in some montage flashbacks, she is a gentle and traditional oriental woman. In the same way, Donna played by Jessica is also a quiet blonde beauty most of the time, only wild and **** in her dreams.

"It's a bit difficult, we can think about it again, and let's talk about it the day after tomorrow, but maybe we can go to the East to find a candidate."

"China?"

"Specifically, Hong Kong, or Taiwan."

For Johnson, this is a bit beyond imagination.

"Let me look for it. You can also find some Hong Kong movies and Taiwan movies to see."

The conversation between the two has ended here. Qiao Sen still needs to do a lot of preparations before the filming. Because time is running out, the kick-off meeting will be held the day after tomorrow. .

……

Back at CAA, Daniel is still considering the candidate of Lizzie Lee, who is suitable? The upcoming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will bring a new Chinese face to North American audiences - Zhang Ziyi, if she is adopted, it may attract some extra attention, but Zhang is not suitable, Daniel shakes his head, or deny With this idea in mind, after all, short films do not need to be released publicly, so the so-called attention is meaningless.

As for other candidates, not many Chinese actresses can be sexy, Shu Qi? Now she is still an actress in the **.

It wasn't until his mind returned to Lucy Liu that he suddenly thought of someone.

Maggie Q!

The actor of Nikita!

This girl should be doing commercials in Hong Kong by now, but she will break into the film industry soon, and then be brought to Hollywood by CAA's eyesight, and participate in "Mission: Impossible" and "Die Hard", and even lead episodes "Nikita", compared to those actresses who play soy sauce in blockbusters, MaggieQ is simply the conscience of the industry.

She may be a good candidate. Although she does not have Chinese ancestry, in the eyes of Americans, people of the yellow race are similar.

Daniel came to CAA not to see Cusa, but Kevin, Kevin Gowley.

Daniel can see his progress from the attitude of CAA staff. When he first entered CAA, everyone regarded him as air, and now everyone greets him with a smile.

He was on time, and Kevin was already waiting for him in the office, which was a good sign, indicating that they valued each other very much.

"Danny, long time no see." Kevin warmly stood up and hugged Daniel, "You are a busy person, Italy, Malta, England and then New Zealand. I really admire your energy."

"There's no way, who made me have so little SAT points, otherwise I can enjoy peace in the office." Daniel spread his hands helplessly.

Kevin was obviously amused, "Don't joke, you don't know how many young people's dreams you are now."

After Kevin deliberately approached him, he started talking about serious things.

Daniel is prepared.

In order to avoid being too reliant on brokers, CAA has proposed two innovative measures.

One is the packaging service. CAA's customers include all the talents needed to make a movie, such as directors, producers, actors, screenwriters, editing, lighting, etc., and even tricks, so when CAA has the most say, its packaging Service is notorious in Hollywood. If you have a CAA director, you have to use its actors, its editors, and so on. Production companies, including directors themselves, lose a lot of power and creative turf.

Of course, this kind of service is much gentler now. On the one hand, the era of actors has passed, and on the other hand, the rise of competitors has weakened CAA.

But so far, CAA's packaging services still attract a large number of various customers - if you are not attractive, then it is worth looking forward to some opportunities through packaging services~www.novelmt.com~In addition to packaging services In addition, another important move is the long broker.

CAA's big-name clients all have multiple brokers. Now this has become the norm in the Hollywood brokerage industry. The clients are also very smart. There is competition and cooperation among multiple brokers, and the clients can get more benefits.

Kevin obviously thinks it's time to talk to Daniel about this.

"Daniel, you need to know that this has nothing to do with betrayal. Cusa fully understands the rules. This is the common practice, and it's no different from your need for an agent."

"Yes, I understand, but Kevin, I still need to think about it. Now is not the time to discuss this. I don't have so many things to deal with because I'm not big enough." Daniel laughed at himself and relieved his nervousness. atmosphere.

"Cusa will be relieved, but he will tell you what to do."

He has already found Daniel, so it is impossible to hide from Kusa Damon.
