Ace Hollywood

Daniel is getting better and better. After getting used to the way of shooting Hollywood movies, he has a senior like Jon Voight as his opponent. His performance is gradually integrated with Hollywood, and his overly dignified and inherent performance characteristics are not to be eaten in Hollywood. But there are always more welcome actors who have characteristics and dare to show.

"Danny, come to dinner with me, someone will treat you." James has a lot of friends in California. After the scene is a little more relaxed, there will inevitably be a dinner party. Brian doesn't mind. During the two-month shooting period, you These young stars cannot be asked to be ascetic.

"Oh, that's not good, Danny has to help me with the lines." Ellie hurried over and dragged Daniel's shoulders.

"Sorry, gentlemen and ladies, Daniel has his own dinner today." Daniel pulled his hand out of Ellie's chest with difficulty, "Ma'am, your underwear is too hard and it's not good for your health."

In the wild laughter of James and Paul, Daniel had to run away quickly.

Most of the filming has been completed, especially the scenes of Daniel and Ellie are almost over. There is some affection between the young people. Dr. Daniel sometimes gave acting classes, Ellie was the most loyal student, and Paul was often involved.

Tonight was a dinner with producer Michael Tolin. Daniel was a little surprised. Compared to Brian, Michael, who worked in MTV movies, was more professional, respected the director more in filming, and usually had less contact with actors. But Michael also praised his performance more than once.

Maybe a new performance opportunity?

Daniel's optimistic conjecture. But Michael isn't a very well-known producer, and Daniel doesn't know what works he's had, so there's no way to guess what the opportunities might be.

The dinner was at a restaurant not far from the set, which specializes in Texas steaks and salads.

When Daniel was surprised, there was another lady present, and she was quite young.

"Daniel, this way."

Michael also saw him and beckoned him over.

"Hey, Michael, good evening," Daniel took a seat across from them, "and this lady."

"Melissa, Melissa Lane."

"Hi, nice to meet you."

Daniel showed his usual grace, which, of course, sometimes means alienation, and the subtext is "let's all be quiet beauties".

Michael suddenly laughed, "How about it, isn't it different from the set?"

"Yes, it's completely different." Melissa also smiled, "Mr. Daniel Sandler, I think I should introduce myself first, Melissa Lane, currently an assistant agent of UTA Agency, I The boss is Tracy Jacobs, if you don't know, then—"

"Oh, no, I think I know something, Tracy Jacobs? Johnny Depp?"

Johnny is one of the most famous male stars in Hollywood in the 21st century. Daniel knows a little about him. Although he has not yet been able to appear in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, he is already an A-level artist.

Melissa smiled happily, "Yes, Tracy is Johnny's only big agent. Of course, Tracy has other clients, such as Harris Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, etc. Wait."

"Gwyneth!" Daniel also had an impression of this name. It seemed that in one inventory, an actress with bad luck was still an actress with poor career. The next Oscar favorite is in a dilemma. She once rejected the role of Rose in "Titanic". After the Titanic swept this year's Oscars and became the number one box office in film history, she should be somewhat God hurt. This is also the reason why she bid farewell to her former agent and switched to Tracy.

I don't know if it's her luck, or Tracy is really extraordinary. Gwyneth's new work "Shakespeare in Love" is being released, and the momentum shows that she has become a popular candidate for the next Oscar.

Of course, this film has also been controversial because of the Oscars.

"It sounds exciting," Daniel's mind was spinning rapidly. He could remember a lot of successful movies, but not necessarily so many who had the right opportunity. Among them, the hero in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series El Turner happens to be one of them.

A-level production, series, big box office... Although there are no awards, people can't be too greedy, right?

If you can catch up with Tracy, the chances seem to be better?

1999 is quickly approaching, and Daniel remembers that the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie seemed to have been released in 2003, suggesting that the project had been in motion since at least 2000 or 2001.

Daniel is also in a hurry sometimes. Some opportunities he can remember are right in front of him, but no one will just give a rookie a chance. Sometimes he also thinks he is quite ridiculous. It seems that after he arrived in the United States, he also began to be bewitched by the heroism of the United States. He became a much-anticipated superstar, and the temptation for him became quite powerful.

But he also has no intention of controlling himself. Since it is a new beginning, then everything can do as he pleases.

"Melissa, I hope I'm not being selfish," Daniel tried to widen his eyes buried in the fat.

This amused Melissa, "I don't think you have, yes, I intend to recommend you to Tracy."

Melissa is also an assistant agent, which means she's not eligible to sign clients independently, but according to the rules, she can refer people to Tracy, and if approved, Tracy will sign the actor and then put his agent on things Entrusted to Melissa.

As for the brokerage, of course, Tracy is the big one, and Melissa takes about one-third of the total. Of course, this is already high. If Melissa is just acting as an artist signed by Tracy herself, she can only get a fixed salary based on the coffee position, and is not eligible to participate in the draw. That's pretty much a senior assistant. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"That's really my honor."

Daniel didn't try to talk about conditions. First, he had to satisfy Tracy, and then he could talk about other things. Secondly, under the supervision of the Actors Guild, such a large brokerage company is unlikely to give him a blood sweat contract. Because they also know that such treaties are often not backed by law.

Because the two sides quickly reached an agreement, the meal was fairly easy. Michael and Melissa talked about some things in the circle, and Daniel listened with an ear.

"I really don't know how to thank you, Michael." Daniel watched Melissa leave and turned to Michael. He really didn't expect Michael to help him.

"No no no," Michael waved his hand, "Melissa decided after seeing your performance. You earned it yourself. But, Danny, I have to be honest with you, even though Melissa My father is my best friend, but your future is also very important, UTA is not the best choice for Hollywood, CAA, you know? There is the king of Hollywood brokers, there are more opportunities, and the brokers are more professional, and , I also know some CAA staff, if you will—"

"Thank you, Michael, I understand this," Daniel sincerely listened to Michael's kindness, "but Tracy is also a good choice, and the CAA family has a big business, and it's not easy for a newcomer to get ahead."

God knows I'm just watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the sake of it. Daniel thought to himself.

But in the eyes of Michael Tolin, this is a child who was stunned by chance. Of course, Tracy is also very good indeed.
