Ace Hollywood

(Nine thousand words, the third update, just for collection and recommendation!! Penguin group: 460719545)

A lot of people were talking about Daniel, there were big-name actors like Brad, and there were also some directors.

Including the famous director-Robert Zemeckis, "Forrest Gump" made him to the top of Hollywood, which can be said to be a model of both box office and awards. Five years later, the momentum is still strong. At the end of this year, he and Tom Hanks collaborated again in "Desert Island", which is also considered to be an important contender for the annual box office championship.

He, Steven and Lucas are the real promoters of this short film competition. In addition to reserving talents for the USC department, being able to hold this event is also an important way for them to promote their influence.

Besides them, who can do it?

Well, this is power.

Zemeckis spoke of Daniel in a conversation with Ron Mayer, a Universal executive — in his previous role as one of the five founding members of the CAA agency. Compared with the tragic urging of another more popular founder, Michael Ovitz, Mayer's development in the world can be said to be smooth sailing.

"He's an amazingly talented young man, and Hanks wasn't so dazzling when he was young." Zemeckis saw Daniel who was laughing with Jessica, "I saw the rough cut of "Gladiator", Scoo This time, I really came prepared.”

Mayer is an executive of Universal. Hearing Zemeckis' compliment, he is naturally happy.

"The company also has high hopes for this movie, and Daniel's performance in it is perfect." Mayer naturally knew that the outside world was waiting for "Gladiator" to be released, and some of them wanted to see if Daniel had the potential to become a superstar. , or a fake star created purely by promotion. And people in the industry like Zemeckis and Mayer, if they were interested, would have been able to learn about Daniel's performance.

The point now is whether good performances can have good results, such as box office, critic scores, and awards season.

"Seeing that young people are so good, it really makes people confident in the future of Hollywood." Zemeckis said another word of identity, ending the topic of Daniel.

……

Qiao Sen left first. As the only Chinese contestant, he had the opportunity to speak at the kick-off meeting later, so he had to go to the Staples Center to make some preparations. Daniel and Jessica passed the time without a word.

"You are so perfunctory." When Daniel asked Jessica to repeat it again, Jessica finally got angry.

His spirit is really difficult to concentrate, and the activities are too boring.

Daniel looked at her apologetically, "It's hard for me to lift my spirits for the girl I can't date."

Jessica didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she couldn't just be defeated so easily, "Why do you think you can't get an appointment? You must know that you are a superstar in Hollywood now, and news about you has been in the newspapers every day these past few months."

"Could it be that your dating condition is the amount of media coverage?" Daniel's eyes seemed to light up, "Including the negatives, I still look very hopeful, so girl, are you free tonight?"

"No, sir!"

"I knew it was like this." Daniel changed back to the look of dying.

"Casey should really see what you look like. She knows that Hollywood stars are not what they imagined." Jessica pouted.

"Catherine can have dinner with us, if she wants, is she in Los Angeles?"

"She might be crazy with joy."

"Then you have to prove that it has nothing to do with me."

Daniel and a few unfamiliar behind-the-scenes people who passed by, nodded, and happened to see Johnny Depp, whose eyes were withdrawn.

Jessica didn't feel anything about this, "That's not good, you have to take full responsibility."

"You're really not a fair judge."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two people had a tacit conversation, which made this boring activity not so difficult, and they were about to cooperate soon, so they were not afraid of the media reporters present, and they could even wave their hands generously.

……

The Staples Center, USC students, participating stars and the Union's great directors, and other invited dignitaries sit below.

Steven, Robert and Lucas came to the stage and gave a brief speech. The three of them performed their respective duties. Steven said that the practitioners in the film industry went forward one after another to show the majestic vitality and attractiveness of this industry. Robert focused on majors, talked about the rich connotation and profound meaning of film art, and praised the baptism and enlightenment of the activities to the students, while Lucas started from creativity and imagination, and he encouraged every young man to give full play to his own. personality, imprinting a unique imprint on the film.

The speeches of these three big names naturally attracted round after round of applause, especially the rookies of USC, including those from the Film and Television Academy, who are all gearing up to conquer the world.

They were followed by actors. The popular Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts took to the stage to give speeches. They spoke even shorter. This was the requirement of the union. The actors were too dazzling. Those students from other colleges were mostly aimed They're here, and if they're too long, they might get distracted.

Two people can only simply show their support for the activity and recognize that it is full of meaning.

Finally, what took up the longest time in the entire kick-off meeting was the speech of the four student directors.

Jonathan Zhu was the third one, with a Jew and a white man in front, and a girl behind him.

It can be seen that the Federation has taken great pains to select candidates.

The Jewish Boy is a story about money worship - he seems to be trying to dispel the myth that Jews love money more than life. Daniel saw him speak passionately about the glorious Jewish tradition, and then tossed his script aside.

"In China, such a speech can't make it to the stage at all. The college entrance examination composition is simply a zero score, and the digression is too serious." Daniel muttered by himself, and Jessica was not listening carefully, so he was whispered by him. to attract.

"what are you saying?"

"Uh, he's digressing, this isn't a Jewish rally."

"That's not necessarily true. There will be many Jews in the selection meeting."

Daniel opened his mouth, but he still thinks people are too naive. There is obviously an expert behind this child.

However, Jessica's eyes are really sharp.

He couldn't help but look at the blond sweetheart, with deep eye sockets, his eyes moved down, well, not too small.

Blonde hair equals stupidity, an equation that may not apply to her.

The Jewish kid's speech is over, the white kid, Brad Pitt's knowledgeable partner.

The theme of his script is patriotism, a story about the nostalgia of veterans on the battlefield, which is a very correct topic.

Behind him is Qiao Sen, Daniel sat up refreshed, glanced at the seats, but saw that many people began to turn their heads to communicate with others.

This seems to be their break time.

Looking at Jessica, the young man's eyes blazed with raging flames.

"My short film tells the story of cultural differences between the East and the West. It does not have a particularly obvious theme."

Daniel heard someone laughing. Compared with the well-prepared speeches of the first two, Qiao Sen's opening remarks were obviously a bit amateurish, and no one would say that the subject of his short film was unknown.

"Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't have a core, I hope to use this story to show that the influence of blood and skin color on us is deeply ingrained, but they are not invincible, in the short film we can only use tangible medicine, and in life, We should give our souls a dose of medicine."

Jonson is quite well-behaved. He has his own understanding of the script, which may be what he has always wanted to express.

The final girl theme is also very girly—a girl in love, which discusses the topic of freedom and indulgence.

Overall, the four representatives are tall enough.

Jews and money worship, patriotism and soldiers, racial reconciliation, free thinking—all of these are topics that Hollywood directors have to weigh.

"It's all a bunch of arrogant kids."

"They're all older than you and me. I'm dreaming of taking this opportunity to become famous. Of course, I can do as much as I can."

"I'm also very strong." Daniel said involuntarily, looking at Jessica, who was a year younger than him, with a serious look. Then, in Jessica's shocked eyes, she quickly turned her head to look at the stage.

Hiss, the severe pain in the waist, still tell him that women can't be messed with~www.novelmt.com~ The table is now being arranged on the stage, and later the sixteen student directors will sign contracts with the investors and the main actors-more Most of it is symbolic, since it is to be done, of course, a full set. Daniel had read the contract and could hardly find a legally binding one.

Universal Pictures was the one who gave Jonson the 300,000 yuan for the production. Ron Mayer was there in person, so I can't say that I don't want to give face to these great directors.

Jonathan Zhu, Daniel Sandler, Jessica Alba, and Ron Mayer signed the contract and held it up for a group photo—as in the news, and of course just as stupid.

You can't tell this from the smiling faces of the four.

Their crew, except for Ron Mayer, who is not one of them, is indeed too young.

The flash of the media flashed more diligently than other crews, but no one thought it was a good thing.

Johnny Depp, who had just met Daniel's eyes, couldn't help showing a smile. He understood that the media would give Daniel a lot of space tomorrow. Let's fry it. The higher the praise, the worse the fall.

The news he heard about Daniel was generally not very happy - for example, Daniel had just signed "The Bourne" for 5 million, and the source was Tracy's executive acquaintance at Universal. Five million, this young man who has just arrived in Hollywood for less than two years can already get five million.

Hollywood is getting more and more unreasonable.

If he is the boss of the production company, and the quotation exceeds one million, he will let Daniel get out with his resume.
