Ace Hollywood

U.S.C.? By the way, those youngsters at the University of Southern California's School of Motion Picture Arts—er, the future directors who are about your age have recently thought of a new trick, inviting Hollywood stars to join them in their annual short film competition. Kusa is slightly dissatisfied with this job, I don't know if it is out of dissatisfaction with USC, but it is not uncommon for universities to be uncomfortable with each other. It's as if MIT thinks its opponent is Harvard, but Harvard doesn't take it seriously. Their goal is Yale.

That's it.

And the USC Film School has such an idea, it is not whimsical. It may be difficult for other film school students to let these big stars worth tens of millions of dollars participate in a short film for free, but for For these young people at USC, there is an obvious path.

Get assistance, help and sponsorship from those famous alumni.

Look, who are those people, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas... Wait, these big Hollywood directors speak, how many stars are there? Will flock to it?

In fact, as long as they go through their own agents, most of the artists from the four major Hollywood agencies cannot refuse.

Moreover, if there is enough attention, why refuse, support young directors, support dreams, support the future, oh, this is really a good-sounding thing.

Daniel has been in the limelight recently, so he was honored to be invited. Specifically, it should be that he was spotted by a certain boy and girl from Southern California.

The mechanism works like this. Prospective directors who want to participate in the short film competition but decide to invite big stars will hand over the list of candidates and replacements to the working group, and then the working group will contact people from the USC Hollywood Alumni Association, and then the joint Will—that is, the staff of these great directors, contact the actors.

Once the two sides are finalized, then start to determine the itinerary, and if someone really doesn't give face or the schedule can't be adjusted-this is actually an excuse, because the short film shooting will not last more than a week, and you can't spare a week. Do you think you are Hanks? Or Cruise?

Basically, that group of students got what they wanted.

From this point of view, it is a great honor for Daniel to be selected, because he was selected together with such big-name male and female stars as Brand Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Ben Stiller. Stars are somewhat different, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, there are big names and newcomers.

These students have had a good time. This must not be the last time to work with these big stars.

Everyone understands that the plan of the Southern California gang in Hollywood is to prepare some opportunities for their younger generations. Sometimes the power will be united. For example, the Jews are very powerful in Hollywood, and the representatives of them are the Weinstein Brothers. They can even Manipulating Oscar, yes, it is Gwyneth's Shawin in Love. In addition, the Australian Gang should not be underestimated. The Southern California Gang is also a member of an important team club. Steven or Lucas hope to continue or enhance the strength of this group.

This can be seen from the sponsorship they donate a considerable amount every year, and it can also be seen from this huge event.

Now the whole of Hollywood, the whole of the American entertainment industry, is talking about this topic.

There is another reason for Kusa's displeasure. Daniel is one of the few male stars selected among them. Besides him, there is also Mark Wahlberg who is much older than him.

Of course, there are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who are not too old, but they are not listed here, they have proved themselves.

In this way, Daniel is too conspicuous.

Who chose me? Such a good opportunity, not looking for Toms, but looking for me?

It's a Chinese. I had a brief exchange with him. He said that he had seen your College Blues and he felt that you had an oriental connotation and strength. My God, I didn't see it very much.

Is he a second or third generation immigrant?

I don't know, but he is obviously very smart. Chinese directors must start with oriental elements. Ann and John Wu both started with Chinese elements. Kusa seems to have a good impression of the Chinese student, You do have some research on China, and you also have Chinese blood, maybe this is what made him resonate with you.

Oh, Cusa—can you please stop being so disgusting.

Okay, but you're in a tough situation right now, and I have faith in you, but not him. If he can't beat those short films with big-name actors, you're in trouble.

Daniel was very surprised. In this case, Kusa could use his busy schedule as an excuse to refuse. After all, he is not an important person, and it is not difficult to understand that he wants to avoid those big people, but Kusa did not.

Reject? Daniel, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. Gladiator will not be released in half a year, and the doubts about you may continue. If you can perform well in this competition at the end of May at USC, you You can slap them hard, and no one can make sarcastic remarks before your movie is released, or use acting skills as an excuse to discredit you. Qiao Sen Zhu is still a good young man. With few awards, he looks quite talented. This risk is worth taking.

Did he give you the script?

Not yet, there's still one week left. He didn't expect to ask you to play the role before, so he needs to make some changes.

That can wait until I get back to Los Angeles.

Yes.

The two talked about the preparations for The Bourne, and of course the earlier Legal Blonde, which has changed a lot. The girl played by Witherspoon is of course still the absolute center of course, but The role of the leading actor played by Daniel has increased significantly, which even made Daniel worry about whether the movie will be successful as expected.

But he can't say don't add to me, I hate to give more acting here, unless he is crazy. Fortunately, the main line has not changed, and the charm of the movie should not be affected.

After a long chat with Cusa, Daniel flipped through the script of Pretty Pretty, a truly fascinating story, and it's no wonder that after horror rivals like American Honey and Jurassic Park 3, Under the killing, it can get an excellent box office.

After a day's rest, Daniel was rejuvenated.

He finished his filming in the studio, and there are still some coordinating scenes. He will return to Los Angeles in three days.

Then came USC, then promotional work on Legally Blonde and Gladiator, then back to New Zealand to film the rest of the scene, and finally back to filming The Bourne.

When Daniel left New Zealand, everyone had a short farewell. Christopher Lee, who played Saruman, gave him a few rock discs. Ian said that he would take Daniel to rock when he came back. After Vigo's After explaining, Daniel understood another meaning of rock - to find a girl.

Flying back to Los Angeles from Wellington, he realized at the airport what the trouble that Cusa said was.

The media and paparazzi who got the news of the flight were already waiting at the exit, and of course there were some of his fans.

Kusa and Andy protected him. Daniel wore sunglasses and didn't say a word the whole time. Now that he doesn't know the situation, it is sometimes a big problem to speak casually.

Going straight back to the Malibu residence, Kusa and Andy both went home first, and Andy hasn't been home for several months.

As expected, news of his return to Los Angeles began the next day in the tabloids and online.

The title is unified.

Daniel returned to Los Angeles with a solemn expression and didn't say a word.

Worried? Daniel declined to be interviewed.

Nova falling? It's time to see the real chapter.

There's hardly anything good about it, and even old friends like the Los Angeles Times couldn't offer a positive review, and a small section of them tries to be as objective as possible with the headline Youngest entrant to USC Short Film Contest— Daniel, back to Los Angeles.

Entertainment news requires them to find hot spots.

The youngest player, means the least trustworthy player, means the most likely to fail - so, Daniel is about to fail.

This is how the logic of the entertainment industry comes about.

Daniel's fans struggled, and IMDB, blog sites, including LAH, all had angry you'll be amazed responses.

But what I got was basically a quip, I'm ready to be surprised — it's too bad.

He is not worthy of his current status at all. God, millions of dollars. Is Hollywood's money blown by strong winds? MGM has already broken its pot.

...

An office at WME and UTA is also looking at this.

Philip remained calm after Daniel took away Bourne Shadow. Now Daniel is no longer a small person who can do whatever he wants. Even if Cusa's resources are not as good as him, there will be no decisive gap.

This is Hollywood, it is extremely unfair, but whoever is in the limelight has the right to speak temporarily, this is the reality.

Philip did not contribute to the flames, but this time it was an excellent opportunity given by God.

Daniel Sandler and Matt Damon will meet in the USC Short Film Contest. They will make The Bourne regret it. A Brooks hot dog boy with no hair. It's time to know that he is not favored by God people.

Matt Damon is not so emotional about losing The Bourne, because at least he still has the Lohan series in his hand. Although the coffee position is not as good as George Clooney and Brad Pitt, but cooperating with super big names is itself The only way to advance to the ranks of the super big names. Judging from the movie, they are the three protagonists.

But his interest in Daniel became even stronger. He heard the young man's name many times, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel... It seemed that Philip's eyes had been fixed on this man since he fought Joaquin Phoenix. Win, after winning Gladiator.

Sometimes Matt began to wonder whether Philip had offended Daniel or Cusa Damon, otherwise why the other party always disagreed with them, but think about it, there are only so many effective resources in Hollywood, and what suits Daniel is often also suitable Competition among them is inevitable.

Compared with Philip's sharpening, Tracy Jacobs was a little bit lost.

She does have several big-name contracts, but not all of them belong to her alone. CAA has set a precedent. Big-name stars are keen to put their eggs in several baskets. Except for Johnny Depp, her Ha Deson Ford and Gwyneth both have other agents.

If Daniel stayed in her hands at that time, maybe she would have another potential trump card at this time.

This time Johnny Depp will also participate. Two people who know each other well may have a contest.

Of course, Tracy never believed that Johnny Depp would lose, but no one would really ask Daniel to be on the same level as these seniors, although some people behind the scenes might think otherwise. As long as Daniel's performance is not good enough, there must be many people who attack him.

The young man was about to undergo a test.

Draco Lane and Ridley Scott thought so too, and there was now an extra topic among old friends—Mr. Daniel Sandler. Of course they know everything, like Daniel winning The Bourne, killing Matt Damon.

He's really a bit of a villain. Ridley is finishing the post-production of Gladiator, and Daniel's outstanding performance has made him really appreciate this talented actor more and more. His next new movie Black Hawk Down originally hoped to cooperate with Daniel, but after an evaluation, he chose Josh Hartnett - also a newcomer, but not as popular as Daniel.

I have a deep understanding. Recently, Drake has often seen Daniel's news, all kinds of news, all brought back by Melissa.

For more than a year, Daniel has created one suspense after another non-stop, and they will be revealed soon.

Dare to accept Steven's invitation, he really has a lot of confidence in himself.

What do you think? Compared to Brad, George, Matt, etc.

Ridley thought about it seriously, Maybe he will be the most perfect performance in the role of Commodus. But it is difficult for me to judge other works. Some people are suitable for a role but not necessarily Suitable for all roles, with his performance in School Blues, I am afraid that he is still far from these big stars.

But he won The Lord of the Rings and The Bourne Bourne.

For The Lord of the Rings, it should be because of his appearance. Don't you know about the elf incident? That is enough to be true. If I were Peter, I would also choose him. As for The Spy, I heard that he performed really well, But Daniel and his agent ended up convincing a few key people, which is the most important reason. No one knows how they did it.

Move Frank with dreams, persuade Tony with cooperation, soften Universal with publicity value, and win Doug Liman with performance and role matching. This is what Daniel and Cusa did, so they succeeded. This, Drake And Ridley wasn't sure.

This time, he did encounter difficulties.

He is still young, and what belongs to him will eventually belong to him.
