Hey, Qiao Sen, I'm not late. Daniel smiled and shook hands with the nervous Qiao Sen Zhu.

Qiao Sen was a little nervous, but he hugged Andy politely.

Of course you didn't.

Haha, you don't look like a director who will graduate from USC. Look at Steven and Eastwood, they are both known for their 'cruelty'.

Daniel's joke obviously made the directing student relax a lot, and he stretched his body.

Daniel, I do feel a little nervous.

That's right, I thought you were going to call me Mr. Sandler, oh, I guess that's too bad, I'm used to taking orders from directors, but what should I do with a director who always calls me Mr.

I think I understand what you mean, thank you. Qiao Sen said gratefully. Daniel was telling him that a director must be able to control the shooting scene, otherwise your producer, your photographer, your actors, will rob you of the power that belongs to you, and then you fail.

I once asked my agent, are you a second or third generation immigrant?

Both my parents were born in China.

Oh, second generation, have you ever been to China?

No, there is no chance yet.

Daniel understood a few words. According to Qiao Sen, his script is a short film discussing the differences and integration of the East and the West. This requires him to understand the real East. He is a second-generation immigrant and has never been to an Eastern country. Not caught.

Johnson took out the script and gave it to Daniel.

Today's meeting between the two is mainly for this script, acting is a must, but everyone needs to cooperate seamlessly, and no one should be too personal.

Silent Love!

Two bold letters were printed on the second page, and below it was written the screenwriter: Jon M. Chu, Qiao Sen's full name.

Can I ask your Chinese name? It should be there, right?

Zhu Haowei.

Zhu Haowei. Daniel repeated.

Qiao Sen was stunned, Your Chinese pronunciation is really too standard.

Daniel smiled and started flipping through the script.

An hour later, he looked up.

The short film is very straightforward. It wants to tell the gap between East and West, so he set up two heroines, one is American and the other is Oriental, and the male protagonist is a mixed-race deaf-mute pharmacist who works for an American pharmaceutical company.

He maintains these two relationships at the same time, and the two women have never met because of their completely different social circles.

Oriental girls are sexy and sociable, while American girls are reserved and stay away from parties.

This setting is a bit deliberate, but it is quite interesting.

Everyone thinks that the East is synonymous with reserved and conservative, but it is not in the short film.

The male lead is always doing his job, he can't speak or hear.

But he hangs out with the oriental girl at dances and parties and sees her blazing with enthusiasm. He also snuggles silently with the American girl by the Hudson River in the sunset.

Until one day, he smashed all the instruments, resigned from the company, and disappeared.

The two girls began to dream, dreaming that they were drinking cups of water, beverages and alcoholic beverages handed over by the man...

Along with it, girls from the East abandoned their traditions, while American girls restrained their nature. It turned out that they were not born like this, but were reformed by men.

The two began to look for the man. Following the clues, they found an inferior community full of discrimination. The man was holding a black and dirty little girl. He was holding a glass of water in his hand and was about to hand it to her.

This is not a popular script, it has its special meaning.

Joseon Chu proves his mind.

I approve of the script, it's really good.

Johnson was visibly relieved, clearly struggling with whether, or to what extent, Daniel would comply with his request for modification.

Daniel has no intention of destroying Qiao Sen's dream, he just wants to know the standard of the script.

He is walking on shaved ice now.

Thank goodness, Qiao Sen patted his heart, You don't know how worried I am. You will come to such a big meeting the day after tomorrow?

certainly!

The meet-and-greet that Qiao Sen mentioned was the kick-off meeting for this short film competition. The students and stars would meet and discuss the script in the early stage, and then a few big-name alumni would take the lead in holding a meet-and-greet, which was to urge the big stars to face this matter seriously. , Arrange the time to finish in time.

Not all of the Hollywood actors involved will be there, and they may not have the time.

Have you decided on your heroine?

This is a big problem. The design time of the short film is 20 minutes, and the two heroines have enough roles.

I've decided on one, Qiao Sen glanced at Daniel, wondering if he had a candidate of his own, Jessica Alba, do you know her? What do you think?

Jessica plays Donna, Daniel imagined. This girl looks well-educated, so she should be a suitable candidate. Isn't she too beautiful, can she fall in love with a deaf-mute?

Deaf people are so handsome, aren't they? Johnson joked, If Matthew grows up to be like you, there's always some privilege.

Where's Liqi Li? Who are you going to find? Lucy Liu?

In Chinese aesthetics, Lucy Liu is not really a beauty, but she is one of the most famous Chinese female stars in Hollywood.

Do you think it's suitable? Qiao Sen hesitated, I went to see her Charlie's Angels, and I didn't think that was the candidate I wanted, so I didn't submit her to the federation as a choice.

Daniel is not very familiar with Lucy, but as far as some established impressions are concerned, she and Li Qi are not quite right. What Qiao Sen needs is a pure oriental woman, but at the same time she needs to have a convincing western sex appeal - in most of the time, maybe fifteen minutes, or seventeen minutes, Li Qi is an oriental sex appeal Stunner, only in some montage flashbacks, she is a gentle and traditional oriental woman. For the same reason, Donna played by Jessica is also a quiet blonde most of the time, wild and sexy only in dreams.

It's a bit difficult. We can think about it again and we can communicate the day after tomorrow. However, maybe we can go to the East to find a candidate.

China?

Specifically, Hong Kong, or Taiwan.

For Johnson, this was a bit beyond imagination.

Let me look for it, and you can also find some Hong Kong movies and Taiwanese movies.

The conversation between the two of them ends here. Qiao Sen still needs to do a lot of preparations before filming, because time is running out. After the kick-off meeting the day after tomorrow, Daniel’s itinerary is next week, that is, there are still about nine days left .

...

Back at CAA, Daniel is still considering the candidate for Liqi Lee, who is suitable? The upcoming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will contribute a new Chinese face to North American audiences——Zhang Ziyi. If she is adopted, she may attract some extra attention, but Zhang is not suitable. Daniel shook his head and still denied it. After all, the short film does not need to be released publicly, so the so-called attention is meaningless.

As for other candidates, there are not many Chinese actresses who can be considered sexy, Shu Qi? Now she is still an actress mixed in the **.

It wasn't until his thoughts returned to Lucy Liu that he suddenly thought of someone.

Maggie Q!

The actor of Nikita!

This girl is supposed to be filming commercials in Hong Kong now, but will break into the film industry soon, and then be brought to Hollywood by CAA to participate in Mission: Impossible and Die Hard, and even lead dramas Nikita, compared to those actresses who play soy sauce in blockbusters, MaggieQ is simply the conscience of the industry.

She may be a good candidate. Although she does not have Chinese ancestry, in the eyes of Americans, people of yellow race are almost the same.

Daniel came to CAA, not to see Cusa, but Kevin, Kevin Goley.

Daniel can see his progress from the attitude of the CAA staff. When he first entered CAA, everyone treated him like nothing. Now everyone greets him with a smile.

He was punctual and Kevin was already waiting for him in the office, which was a good sign that they valued each other.

Danny, long time no see. Kevin stood up and hugged Daniel enthusiastically, You are such a busy man, Italy, Malta, England and then New Zealand, I really admire your energy.

I can't help it, who told me that my SAT is only so low, otherwise I can enjoy peace in the office. Daniel spread his hands helplessly.

Kevin was visibly amused, Stop kidding, you don't know how many young people's dreams you are now.

After Kevin deliberately got close, he began to talk about serious business.

Daniel is prepared.

In order to avoid being too dependent on brokers, CAA has proposed two innovative measures.

One is the packaging service. CAA's customers include all the talents needed to make a movie, such as directors, producers, actors, screenwriters, editing, lighting, etc., and even extras. Therefore, when CAA has the most say, its packaging Service is notorious in Hollywood. If you have a director in CAA, you have to use its actors, its editors, and so on. The production company, including the director himself, will lose a lot of power and creative territory.

Of course, this kind of service is much more moderate now. On the one hand, the era of actors has passed, and on the other hand, the rise of competitors has weakened CAA.

But so far, CAA's packaged services still attract a large number of various customers-if you are not attractive, it is certainly worth looking forward to getting some opportunities through packaged services.

In addition to packaged services, another important move is long brokerage.

CAA's big-name clients have multiple agents, and now this has become the norm in the Hollywood agent industry. Clients are also very smart. There is competition and cooperation between multiple agents, and the benefits that clients can get are even greater.

Kevin obviously thinks it's time to talk to Daniel about it.

Daniel, you have to know that this has nothing to do with betrayal. Cusa fully understands this rule. This is the common practice, and it is no different from you needing an agent.

Yes, I understand, but Kevin, I still need to think about it. It's not the time to discuss this yet. I don't have so many things to deal with, because I'm not big enough. Daniel laughed at himself and relieved his slightly nervous atmosphere.

Cousa will be relieved, but he will tell you what to do.

He has already found Daniel, so it is impossible to hide the truth from Kusa Damon.

This is always the painful period that every CAA agent who discovers a big star goes through.
