Ace Hollywood

(Third update, 9,000 words. Of course, I still ask for collections and recommendations. It is healthier to fight together.) Daniel glanced at Andy suspiciously, but before he could speak, someone greeted him.

I'll talk about it later. Daniel smiled decently and walked forward.

Long time no see, Ridley.

Yes, the first person to greet Daniel was Ridley Scott, one of today's protagonists. He was chatting with an elderly gentleman, and the two were obviously close.

I see you every day, Ridley joked, I have changed several newspapers in my house, but you are in every one.

Daniel could only smile wryly and shook his head, You should go to the Newspaper Association to complain, their entertainment page is so thick that any small character can get on it.

Both Ridley and the gentleman laughed.

Daniel, let me introduce you, Mr. Tim Roland of Snow Eagle Fund, one of the investors of Gladiator.

Daniel is no stranger to the Snow Eagle Fund, which is an established film fund in San Francisco with a deep foundation and a close relationship with Silicon Valley. You must know that these distribution companies in Hollywood, in addition to exploiting directors and actors, are the biggest investors outside of Hollywood. They falsely report box office, distribution channel expenses, publicity expenses, etc., in order to lower profits and reduce the share of investors. Sometimes even when the box office is a big hit, investors will lose money instead.

Snow Eagle Fund is not such a fool.

It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Roland. Daniel took the initiative to hold out his hand to Tim, You know, when I saw you for the first time, I thought Ridley knew the British Sir. Your demeanor is enviable. .”

Really? Tim was a little surprised, but well hidden, Are you familiar with British etiquette?

No, no, I'm not familiar with it. You may not know that I'm filming The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, which is the work of the British writer Tolkien. I play an elf in it. Elves always have to talk about etiquette, so I After receiving a little training in etiquette, you look more professional than my teacher.

Ridley stood aside with a smile, but he was praising Daniel in his heart. This kid's flattering skills are getting better and better. Tim Roland is an Englishman. Speaking of etiquette, Ridley can assure you that Tim, the old guy, is absolutely very happy in his heart at the moment.

And he is indeed a Viscount granted by the Queen.

If Daniel didn't know, it can only be said that he was lucky.

Daniel, Tim is indeed an English Sir, and his father was an Earl.

Wow. Daniel really showed a shocked expression, but he quickly recovered, exaggerated enough but not rude, and his acting skills were good.

Tim pats Daniel on the shoulder cheerfully, which shows that he is indeed very happy.

Daniel, go and greet everyone.

At the moment when they were chatting, almost everyone was here.

Stacey Schneider was there, as was Ron Meyer, the main characters of the film, Russell Crowe, Connie Nielsen, and Daniel, as well as director Ridley, producer Walter, and editor John, were not left behind. . The lineup made it obvious to the guests what the theme of the evening would be.

Gladiator.

Daniel walked around the field with red wine,

Say hello to several main creators, everyone will be very busy today. Then he went to Lon Meyer, whom he had met once.

Good evening, Mr. Meyer.

Oh, Daniel, it's good to see you.

Daniel smiled for a while in line with Meyer's lively expression, Yes, you're as happy as yesterday, aren't you?

Yesterday, they signed the contract for Silent Love at the Staples Center. Universal is the investor of the production cost of 300,000 yuan. This money is not included in Universal's investment expenditure, but in the budget of the publicity department.

So, you get the idea.

Daniel, you don't have to worry, it's just a short film, Qiao Sen, is Qiao Sen right? That student, yes, Qiao Sen is a kid who hasn't graduated yet, and any problems with his film are possible, Daniel, I saw Gladiator and you were amazingly good, and when Gladiator comes out, as long as enough people see it, people will know about your acting.

Ron Meyer's words made Daniel uncomfortably speed up the CPU, which sounded like consolation, but it had many meanings.

First of all, Mayer, like everyone else, is not optimistic about Silent Love.

Secondly, Meyer felt that all failures could be blamed on Jonson, and Universal would support him. After all, they are now connected as one, and Gladiator invested 100 million yuan. Although DreamWorks led the production, Universal also had Investment, they have to spend a huge amount of publicity and distribution costs.

Finally, Mayer asked him to do his best to promote the film so that enough people could see it.

Daniel can only see these three meanings for the time being, and maybe there are other things. Kusa should come with him, but the relationship between the two is a bit embarrassing now.

Everyone is too young, this is indeed a problem, if it is a senior agent or celebrity, they can completely keep their faces, even if they plan to stab each other in the next moment.

Meyer, I don't know how to thank you for your encouragement, bless Gladiator, it will be a success.

We're all going to make it. Mayer clinked glasses with him.

Daniel was about to turn back to Ridley, but saw Stacy waving at him.

And it looked like Stasi had been following him for quite some time.

He had a special feeling for the female executive, Tony Gilroy of Bourne told him later, and there was a ridiculous scene in their discussion meeting.

After Doug, Frank, Robert and Tony all decided on Daniel, Universal's vice president Jose still expressed his opposition. His excuse was that Stacy Schneider asked to choose Matt Damon. Of course, He Sai later admitted that his statement was a bit self-assertive.

Stacey just asked them not to hesitate, and if the two parties were evenly balanced, then her vote would determine the final choice-and she chose Matt Damon. This ticket was not used by the unanimous opinion of the four key personnel, but Stasi still almost ruined Daniel's hopes of winning Bourne Shadow, if Cusa hadn't convinced Tony Gilroy and Frank Marshall.

Of course, of course, it would be ridiculous to say that Daniel would resent anything for this.

When he walked towards Stacy Schneider, his expression was still surprised and delighted. It seemed that it was an honor to be able to chat with the head of Universal Pictures.

Daniel, you have contributed an amazing performance. Stacey put down her shrewdness at work, and showed a trace of a mature woman at the banquet. This is a woman who understands her own advantages. On the top of Hollywood where men are everywhere, Being a woman is a hindrance, but sometimes it can do her some good.

Daniel held the cup on his heart with both hands, I haven't been able to see the rough cut version yet, but the compliments from you and Meyer have made me curious myself.

As you'll see, it's an outstanding piece of work, and the board couldn't praise it enough. Stacey changed the subject, It's good that we didn't have to say goodbye, Doug they chose you to play Bourne, that's a really smart decision, and you're going to take the audience by surprise.

Thank you, I will work hard, and I cherish every opportunity very much.

this is a good habit.

The two of them exchanged a few unnutritious words, and Stacey began to look away. Daniel understood that his time was over, and Stacey needed to find someone else.

He was a little bit out of energy, and it was really exhausting to speak to the senior management of these distribution companies.

Assistants have their own area, which is relatively quiet.

Daniel leaned over to take a break.

Hello, Daniel.

A man in his forties in the assistant area came over to say hello to Daniel.

I'm Payson, Kim Payson's manager Keir Ida.

Kim Python, of course Daniel knew, was one of CAA's new partners and Tom Hanks' agent.

Hello. Daniel glanced at Andy who was sitting from the corner of his eye. She seemed a little absent-minded.
