Ace Hollywood

He is quite optimistic about the script, but he told me very sincerely that he still lacks a little confidence in himself.

Daniel didn't know that Will was still such a straightforward person, but he was still very confident, because he starred in the original work, and it was nothing more than the conditions to be changed.

Well, I'll contact him, and you can do other things.

Raphael's expression relaxed. Obviously, the employees of DD Films had great confidence in their boss. In their view, Daniel should rarely be rejected if he goes out in person.

Daniel personally invited! personally!

As long as he thought about it, the scene of Will smiling all over his face and agreeing again and again appeared in Raphael's mind - he obviously thought too much.

Looking at Raphael's back, Daniel is thinking about Will's thoughts. What he and Raphael said should be true. For Will, transformation is very urgent, but he must be extremely cautious. The work, apart from relying on Daniel's undefeated legend, really doesn't have much advantage. Things like never miss a shot are usually used as talking points, but when it comes to your own choices and future, few people can trust this so freely.

After thinking about it for a while, Daniel picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Hey, this is Daniel Sandler.

Wow, am I dreaming, or are you a liar.

A vivid and funny face appeared on Daniel's face, Denzel, it's me, please don't call the police.

That's not okay. Daniel called me. If you don't call 911 for this kind of thing, you can only find it. Haha, Denzel Washington laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, tell me, what's the matter? Looking for a movie? I hear you have a project-

Daniel's heart moved, Crit Gardner's story, have you read it?

... Denzel paused there, of course he knew. In fact, the script was also handed to him. If Denzel is willing, it will not lose a piece of meat if he pulls it over to try the play. Maybe it could provide some ideas for the producer, obviously not unexpected to Daniel, he didn't think this role was suitable for him, but Daniel stumped him when he asked.

Daniel wasn't trying to make him uncomfortable.

Come on. Denzel, I know what you mean, Will, Will Smith, we want to find him, but he has some doubts, so can you give me a thread, and I will talk to him.

No problem, but Daniel, that story. Do you really think Will is suitable? Or it may not be impossible to find a new actor. Anyway, you are famous enough. As long as it is your investment, the theater will always buy it. Denzel became worried about him. After the two cooperated in Hotel Rwanda, their friendship was not very warm, but it was strange that the relationship between Daniel and Denzel was much worse than that of the two. Russell Crowe wants to come a little more sincerely, and the latter always makes Daniel not particularly willing to open up. Advice to Denzel. Daniel is still grateful.

I know that Will has never acted before, but everyone has a first time, and you can only see it after trying the play. By the way, I will bring it over when the time comes, and you can help me see it together.

No problem. Denzel was very straightforward, Oh, by the way, Daniel. Did you reject Universal's project?

Daniel knew what he was talking about.

Universal Pictures decided to make a gangster film last year, tentatively titled American Gangster, which is easily confused with Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. This movie is about real people, a black drug lord named Lucas, a policeman named Rich, both of them are different, Lucas is a rare loyal and intelligent member of the gang , and Rich is a rare righteous man in the corrupt law enforcement team. The two people's battle of wits and courage, and their life and death is the selling point of the movie.

This project was proposed in 2004, Denzel and Benicio Delto signed a contract, ready to join the group. Then Universal's budget suddenly went wrong, and the project was stopped. What's particularly interesting is that neither Denzel nor Benicio are nobodies, and even though Universal is no longer making the show, the schedule has been set aside, the contract has been signed, and the two are rumored to be getting their own pay , Denzel 20 million, Benicio 4 million. But Daniel doesn't quite believe it. Universal must still ask for a discount, but it is estimated that the payment is not small, otherwise Denzel would not agree to continue participating after the film restarts.

This film can be said to be ill-fated. After more than two years of preparation, Anthony Fuquin and Terry George are the two directors. The starring ranges from Denzel Washington and Benicio Delto to Don Cheadle and Jude Law.

Not long ago, Universal decided to really restart this project, and just released The Kingdom of Heaven, but the response was not good. Ridley Scott became the latest director candidate.

This time, he proposed a combination of Denzel Washington and Daniel Sandler, or Denzel and Russell Crowe.

Both of them are his confidantes, and a gladiator made Daniel and Crowe.

While Daniel seems a little young, his acting is good enough to make that trivial. However, Daniel still rejected the project neatly. The first reason is that he is too busy, and there are already many projects for next year, so he cannot spare time to participate. The second point is also because Russell Crowe seems to be more interested in this. He and Ridley have cooperated recently, and there must be some tacit understanding, and there is no need for him to participate in it.

It's a pity for Denzel. In Hotel Rwanda, the two of them didn't have much chance to play, because the reporter played by Daniel basically became a background. This time was originally a good opportunity, but it seems that the fate has not yet arrived.

Hanging up Denzel's phone, Daniel played another one without stopping.

This time it was for Morgan Freeman.

He knows that the relationship between the three top black stars is good, which is also normal. It is human instinct to hug each other for warmth, no matter if they are black, yellow or white.

The old Freeman is a very righteous person. After Fake God, the two often kept in touch. This time he won the Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby. Before going on stage, he hugged Daniel who was sitting in the front row for a moment. So for Daniel's request, he agreed immediately.

Before Daniel came to the door, Will had two old friends' front-line calls.

So in the first sentence of the meeting, Will said him without a joke, I thought the president of the black country came to my house as a guest.

Your battle is not grand enough.

Daniel looked at Jada Pinkett standing behind Will, and their children, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith, smiling and waving to the 5-year-old girl.

Vero shyly hid behind his mother's back.

Don't think she's always been like this. Jada led Daniel in, pulling her daughter out from behind.

Don't say it, stop! Stop!

Willow cried out suddenly.

She likes you very much, so she pretends to be shy, because Mom told her that you like gentle girls, just like Jessica Alba.

It's a pity that he lost sight of the other, and his elder brother Jaden poured beans out of a bamboo tube, pouring all of Vero's little daughter's thoughts.

elder brother!

Screaming in this life, it can be regarded as showing a little bit of Vero's usual appearance. But Jaden ignored her. There was a two-year age difference between them. The elder brother hadn't reached the age to dote on his younger sister, and now it was basically a stage of fighting for favor.

Daniel, your moves in Bourne Bourne are so cool, my dad said you didn't use a stand-in. And the swordsmanship in Pirates of the Caribbean is also very cool.

Looking at the excited eyes of the little boy, Daniel suddenly remembered that this guy seems to love kung fu very much.

Will interrupts the exciting moment of the two children.

Thank you, Jada brought over the coffee, Will, have you changed your mind?

To be honest, I'm still hesitating. Although I have already refused, but honestly, do you think I can do it? Will is still very satisfied with the script, and the decision to reject or agree can be made immediately, but everything is not so easily.

I have to be honest with you, whether you can or not, at least I can't say until after the trial, but I think Jaden should be able to handle the role of son. Daniel turned to look at Jaden, How, Would you like to act in a new film?

Jaden's screen debut was dedicated to Men in Black 2, but he hasn't acted in a movie since then.

He turned his head to Jada—in this family, it seems that the heroine has the right to speak.

You need to go to school.

I don't think juggling is a problem, and it's going to be a holiday soon, isn't it?

Jada and Will are very contradictory in terms of Jaden's training. On the one hand, they approve of him entering Hollywood, but at the same time, they are worried that being exposed to Hollywood's feasting and feasting prematurely is not a good thing for children. This kind of ambivalence also made them never allow Jaden to go out to make movies since he went to school.

Will watched Daniel abducting his son, but didn't say a word. In fact, Daniel came to the door in person. Will couldn't justify not going to the audition. He didn't say yes or no. He took the script and tried two scenes and gave each other a chance. It's not that difficult.

Watching his wife take the child away, Will's expression suddenly became serious.

Daniel, I was very happy when I heard that you were going to come to the door. It is a difficult time for me now. I will take this step sooner or later, but the choice is really difficult to make.

Will, I know this is a bit shallow, but I still want to tell you that your possibilities are far more than what you are now. Really, When Happiness Knocks will surprise you, believe me , I haven’t misread it so far. It’s impossible for me to play a movie with an investment of 50 million.”

Will looked at him and told himself, this is Daniel Sandler, a Hollywood legend, worthy of trust.

Okay. (To be continued.)

Do you think I'm going to let the pigeons go, hahaha...Three thousand words and three updates
