Ace Hollywood

Daniel is almost enjoying his shuddering feeling at the news, and to be honest, so far, except for Commodius in Gladiator who gave him a deep play, all other roles, including Gladiator Neither Legolas in The Lord of the Rings nor Jason Bourne in The Bourne Bourne failed to stimulate his excitement.

Money, status, awards, these works are almost all in the calculation. Next, the filming is completed, even for Gladiator. In the shadowy charm of Commodius.

However, The Pianist really touched his point. To a certain extent, the joy Jessica gave him was not as exciting as this.

The experience of more than ten years in the previous life was slowly hidden under the baptism of Hollywood rules, but when he heard the movie The Pianist, these hidden joker genes suddenly burst out. One of the reasons Brooklyn decided to come to Hollywood was the freedom it would give him to make films.

However, this is currently becoming dispensable in the pursuit of Hollywood-style success.

Daniel knows that he is not an overnight saint or Buddha, but he believes that if he can make Polanski's film, this World War II film about the real experience-it is very different from Saving Private Ryan, but the meaning is profound. Far beyond the latter.

He loves this movie, he has seen it many times, Daniel is deeply fascinated by the subtle depiction of history in the movie, and Adrien Brody's performance is also amazing, he once imagined that he could make a movie of himself. Similar movies in the country, but without this kind of script, it is impossible to be allowed to objectively express the glorious and sad history, emphasizing the individual, not all righteous parties are good people, and not all hostile parties are bad people , there is no coercion, only observation from a certain angle—not necessarily correct, but it exists independently, without selfishness.

Tim, Daniel pursed his lips, as far as I know, Polanski's new work should be from the memoirs of Veratislo Spellman, telling his own story in World War II. A heart-wrenching story.

Tim was amazed at Daniel's wide knowledge.

Daniel, your breadth of vision is amazing, and you even pay attention to the film project as far away as London, Tim said here, almost amazed, I know how busy you are, Harvey who just left It's also very busy recently, you know, Chocolate, but it's not so easy to push another Oscar queen.

After Gwyneth won the Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, it is obviously difficult for Juliette Binoche to become Harvey's second masterpiece.

Oscar is not that stupid.

Kusa, who was sitting on the side, remained calm, but he was much more familiar with Daniel than Tim Roland. He knew that his partner was starting to burn, which meant that this opportunity was really what he wanted.

Oh, no, Daniel smiled apologetically, Tim, as much as I would like to admit that I have this vision, I have to be honest. I have a lot of admiration for director Roman Polanski, and at the same time, I have a lot of respect for the director. The memoir written by Ronald Harwood is also well known, and by such a coincidence, I couldn't help but know that Polanski was planning to make this film, and for the first time in forty years he returned to Poland to make a film about A World War II film, anyway, is compelling, and he auditioned 1,400 actors in London, so there was a lot of buzz.”

Tim nodded with a smile,

What an amazing coincidence, but why didn't you think about auditioning? He even got an ad in a London paper.

Daniel spread his hands, To be honest, I'm not sure that I'm suitable for the role of Spearman. He's from Poland and he's good at the piano. I'm a Brooklyn-based American and I only know a little bit about the piano.

He is not humble. His piano comes from a wave of Chinese parents letting their children learn piano. The main purpose is to test grades and then show off in parent and school activities.

As for the reason he said, it is completely made up.

He is indeed full of interest and excitement for The Pianist, but he never thought that the filming of this film will start soon, and the film will definitely start filming at the end of this year when it will be released next year. His schedule has not reserved time for The Piano Home, but these are not problems now, as long as Polanski says yes, he can squeeze out time between the promotion of several movies, for example, after the release of Legal Blonde, he can even be absent from Lord of the Rings Some publicity activities - this is not a problem. In the contract, as a secondary actor, he does not have many publicity obligations, and it is also stated in part of the agreement that Daniel signed later. After all, he only took 70,000 US dollars. There is more than this number of platforms for a commercial event, and Lord of the Rings really can't ask him to do more.

Tim seemed to agree with his reasoning.

If you really know the project, then I don't have to spend too much time telling you too much. Polanski wants an actor who 'feels right'. You have a flattering look. I think after simple makeup, No one would feel uncomfortable with you playing a Pole, and secondly, I think you feel right about it.

Speaking of this, Tim laughed again, But it's useless. You have to have an appetite for Polanski to be able to win this role. If you want, I think you can meet with Polanski as soon as possible.

As soon as possible? When can it be?

Come with me tomorrow.

Daniel was silent for a while, and looked at Kusa Damon. The announcement of the Golden Globes was imminent. It was not appropriate for him to leave Los Angeles, but he would never agree to let him miss this opportunity.

Coussa, I'm going to Paris, but I'm also staying in Los Angeles.

Kusa felt Daniel's determination to win. He had a headache. His clients were too independent. The agent hadn't even read the script or the memoir, so he rashly decided to meet with the director. Even Kusa was sure. , as long as Polanski nods, Daniel will even sign with him directly.

But in any case, Cusa could not refuse.

Danny, although I agree with your decision, you should understand that this is against the rules.

Daniel gave Kusa an apologetic look, I understand, Kusa, but if I miss this work, I will lose half of the meaning of being an actor.

Both Cusa Damon and Tim Roland were shocked by Daniel's description.

With Daniel's achievements today, it will not be so difficult for him to act in small and medium-sized productions of first-class directors. Polanski is still a suspect director who dare not enter the United States, so this opportunity does not seem so attractive, especially in This important moment.

However, Daniel's seriousness does not seem like a joke, nor is it an exaggeration.

He really thinks so.

Okay, I support you.

Thank you, Kusa, Daniel turned to Tim Roland, I'm sorry, Tim, leaving Los Angeles at this time is somewhat dangerous. You know, the Golden Globe Awards are about to be awarded, and I'm a popular seed player.

Haha, Tim was successfully amused by him, Yes, I know, you are very hopeful. However, if you have ambitions for the Oscars, you might as well contact Harvey. When I return to San Francisco or Los Angeles, I can Let me connect you guys, Harvey has rich experience, but the price is definitely not low, I will try to get you a preferential price.

Kusa was visibly shaken. The Oscar PR of the Weinstein brothers can be regarded as the best in Hollywood. They are Jewish, and they are well-versed in Hollywood. Secondly, they have sophisticated means and a wide network of contacts. Past achievements can fully prove this point.

What's more, Miramax doesn't have a suitable candidate for Best Supporting Actor in this year's film.

It is said that Johnny Depp wanted to operate a best supporting actor, just like Beniso was nominated for Best Actor in the Union Awards, but Oscar finally said no to him.

Depp's performance in Chocolate is not yet Oscar-level.

If you can, then thank you very much, Tim.

As soon as he passed by Harvey, Cusa made up his mind. To get the Weinstein brothers, for Daniel, his confidence will rise rapidly. This year is an interesting year. No one overwhelms everyone. 's Benizo was a little ahead, but Daniel won the New York Film Critics Association Award and the Screen Actors Guild Award, two very important outpost awards, which shows that he has actually become the biggest favorite, although on the company's disk, he The odds are still higher than Beniso.

The main reason is his age, he is really too young, at the age of 22, he won the Oscar for acting at such a young age, no matter what, I am a little sorry for those old seniors.

But the boy's name is also a symbol of Hollywood's dream, and Oscar may not sell a little bit.

Moreover, according to Fred's technology assessment, with the release of Shanying's reports, Hollywood's interest in the Internet is rising sharply, and the speed at which Silicon Valley and Hollywood are hooking up is also rising, but so far, no one has easily Cross-border, more tentative contacts are with Shanying Company - this is a mature case, even if it is the Big Seven in Hollywood, it may be normal for their parent companies to invest in the Internet, but as professional departments and subsidiaries, their investment scope is under control.

This trend will also be picked up by the Oscars, which are facing a responsibility for being too old-fashioned and out of date, with a large majority of its judges made up of elderly people, such as Elizabeth Taylor, representatives of the golden age. The public is clamoring for it to be more up-to-date.

Responding to the Internet, giving more consideration to influential actors on the Internet should be one of Oscar's directions.

This is extremely beneficial to Daniel.

Tim agrees to arrange a travel itinerary for Daniel, so that he can avoid being smelled by the paparazzi.

The next day, one of Daniel's public trips was canceled only an hour before the start, citing Daniel's sudden illness - caused by overwork and poor rest.

In addition to Fred, Daniel's team gathered in Malibu office.

At this time, Daniel Sandler followed Tim on the Boeing airliner to Paris.
