Ace Hollywood
Chapter Nine A Sermon from a Broker
Starting tomorrow, the leading actors will be wrapping up one after another.
There are still two days left for Daniel. When he passed by the cast trailer, Ellie read the script intently. It should be her last scene in the movie. She was alone, and Ellie, who was immersed in the role, had no feeling for Daniel. Until Amy rushed over excitedly. She just raised her head, and after being surprised, she showed a shy smile to Daniel.
Excellent.
Ellie blushed slightly, Thank you, I just want to perform better.
None of the five young people had experience in filming tens of millions of movies before, so at the farewell box lunch banquet where Ellie officially finished, Amy claimed that she was raped again, and she was determined to remember this moment forever.
Two days later, Bryant gave Daniel his oversized Timberwolves jersey as a memento.
Daniel has already quit his job at the hot dog shop, but the boss didn't give him the wrong look. It is always a blessing for young people who go to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams to have the opportunity.
Melissa has been in frequent contact with him recently. According to her words, Daniel, although your acting talent is amazing, the success of an actor or star is also closely related to his appearance and figure.
In other words, Melissa hopes that he will meet Tracy after losing weight. As an assistant agent, she certainly hopes that the person she is optimistic about will be appreciated by Tracy, and this is not only related to her vision, but also to the direct Benefit. But in the previous communication, Tracy questioned Daniel's physical condition a lot.
Melissa, I don't doubt your vision. He may indeed be talented in acting, but how important appearance is to young people, don't I need to tell you more?
Daniel hasn't always been this fat, he just put on weight for the role, and after the shoot, he will lose weight very quickly, Tracy.
Tracy took a look at Daniel's photos and clips of the rendition, which Brian gave to Melissa extrajudicially, Okay, okay, Melissa, let's talk when he loses weight, shall we? As long as he is not so sorry for the American people, I promise to sign him and hand it over to you.
Melissa has a special status in Tracy's team, which has a lot to do with her father. Derac Ryan is a well-known Hollywood film editor. He has won two Oscars for Best Film Editing. There are many friends in it. Tracy's important long-term client-Harris Ford, this young action superstar, has a close relationship with Drake.
After Campus Blues ended, Daniel devoted himself to inhumane weight loss. Fortunately, this body's talent is not bad. At first, he gained 43 pounds in a short period of time. Now, in less than a month, Daniel lost weight To one hundred and seventy-seven pounds. Perhaps it is due to the oriental blood in his body, but Daniel's muscles are smooth but not exaggerated. The deltoid muscles of the shoulders are down, and the chest and abdominal muscles are like water waves, which are natural and smooth, and the waistcoat line is clear and sexy. With a height of nearly 5.6 meters and light wheat-colored skin, coupled with this body of muscles, it looks like a piece of exquisite porcelain in the halo of the gym.
Tomorrow was leaving for Beverly to meet Tracy, his last day of intensive fitness training.
His fitness trainer, Sith, is not well-known in Los Angeles, and of course very cheap, and he pays his own bills. With thousands of dollars in savings and a $10,000 check from Varsity Blues, that's all he has left, and he'll have to hold out until the next time he gets paid for his work. So expensive personal trainer services, protein supplements, etc. are out of his reach.
Unbelievable, people will not believe that you are the same person as Daniel Sandler a month ago. Sith looked at Daniel in the mirror almost intoxicated, with deep dark blue eyes, delicate and extremely A recognizable face, a charming figure, and an enviable height, Danny, you are really the darling of heaven.
Sith's eyes revealed his heart, but Daniel had already stated his preference.
...
The Oscars are approaching, and the whole Beverly is filled with tense and restless atmosphere.
The raging campaign of Shakespeare in Love makes people feel bored, but the 13 nominations make people unable to ignore it. Gwyneth is already the most popular candidate. Of course, the agent Tracey is also very busy. The time to see Daniel was the result of Melissa's insistence.
Tracey, you have to meet Daniel, my God, you will be shocked. Melissa still has no way to forget her shock when she saw Daniel again after a month.
She has almost forgotten all the etiquette that a well-educated girl should follow, and she only cares about asking God.
My god, my god, my god, who are you? Are you Daniel? Daniel Sandler?
Although the changes are huge, it can still be seen that it is the same person. What's more, it is not uncommon for a fat man to become completely different after losing weight. You must know that Daniel was also a beautiful fat man before, but he was ruined by Brian and turned into a Obese high school students.
He had no choice but to watch Melissa slowly calm down with a face full of tears and laughter, and then her eyes lit up like light bulbs.
Should have shown Tracy, she's gonna pop her eyeballs out. Oh my God, I'm lucky this time. The last sentence was clearly addressed to himself, but Daniel heard it anyway.
Daniel arrived at UTA's Los Angeles office in Beverly Hills at ten o'clock in the morning.
You only have thirty minutes, sir. Tracy's assistant, Miss Heidegger, said while looking down at the calendar in her hand.
Daniel looked at Melissa who followed, and repeated, You only have thirty minutes.
A handsome guy's jokes can always amuse a beautiful woman, Melissa smiled and gave him a roll of the eyes, Hyde, I'll arrange it, you go and get busy.
Only then did Heidegger look up, Okay, Mei Li, but don't overtime too much, or it will be very troublesome. You know, Tracy is too busy recently-oh
As Tracy's assistant, Heidegger has seen too many Hollywood beauties, but Daniel's face still caught her eyes.
Melissa, you found a good guy. Hyde said in a low voice, passing Melissa as he left.
Melissa was quite complacent, and knocked on Tracy's door complacently.
Tracey, this is Melissa.
Come in, have you brought your little Daniel?
Melissa stepped aside to reveal Daniel, Dangdangdangdang...
The first meeting between Daniel and Tracy happened in the prelude to Oscar, in Beverly's rare winter sun, in Tracy's small but well-organized office.
Tracy is a middle-aged woman with meticulous makeup and looks smart and capable. She has short brown hair that just covers her ears. She wears a pair of tortoiseshell-rimmed short-sighted glasses. The eyes behind the lenses are full of exploration. She wears a platinum necklace around her neck. , there seemed to be something hanging in front of him, but he hid in the middle of the twin peaks covered by the gray professional suit.
Is a very attractive woman.
Hi Tracy, I'm Daniel Sandler.
Daniel approached her desk with a decent smile and held out his hand.
Tracey's good professional habits made her subconsciously reach out to hold her hand, and then suddenly regained consciousness in Daniel's smile.
When there is too much gap between what you see and what you think, people will inevitably be caught off guard.
Oh, I was taken aback, Melissa. Hello, Daniel.
Melissa happily poured them both cups of coffee.
Tracy sat down again, and she looked through Daniel's information for the first time. There were stills of School Blues and previous life photos. If the same face can be seen in the life photos, then the stills are Totally two people.
For a while, no one spoke.
Tracy had a headache. She hadn't prepared enough before. If Daniel is still what she imagined, for Melissa's sake, just give him an ordinary contract.
But now, everything is very different.
As a senior celebrity agent, she has also watched Daniel's performance videos, and with the appearance conditions, she has stronger confidence in this young man's stardom.
Then you have to be careful.
Hyde, Hyde, come in.
Tracy smiled apologetically, and Heidegger quickly opened the door and entered.
Sorry for me and Lyrel, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, and I have other arrangements.
Okay, I see, do you have any other orders?
Bring it to the door for me, thank you.
Tracy turned back, Daniel, Melissa got some clips of you in College Blues, and you did really well, even in the confrontation with an Oscar winner like Jon, but you have to understand, Acting isn't enough in Hollywood. Before today—
Tracy waved her right hand wildly in the air, I mean, before I saw you, your appearance basically made me hopeless about you. It's true, not just because of your obesity, but because of your In the fat young man, I can't see his yearning and madness for becoming a superstar. If you are crazy enough, you should understand that you need to strictly manage your body. Around Beverly Hills, how many embraces there are in Los Angeles Teenagers with star dreams, each of them understands their dreams and works hard for them, but you, the original you, are not in it, you may not be able to control yourself at all, you still eat high-calorie food after nine o’clock every day , Such a person is impossible to succeed.
Daniel listened quietly, nodding from time to time to show his approval.
There are so many people in the United States, and there are many who are talented in acting, but not all of them who can become Hollywood stars are talented. At least the star's coffee position and salary are not ranked according to talent. What is more important is self-management. A star , especially Hollywood stars, you need to pay a lot of things on the road to fame, do you understand what I mean?
Tracy seldom had such a heart-to-heart with a young man. Sometimes these young people with privileged conditions need to be accommodated to their fragile hearts, but through Daniel's eyes, she concluded that this was a young man with a mature mind, even though he was only ten years old. Eight years old, or nineteen?
Daniel picked up the coffee and held it in his palm, If you can be more specific, I will appreciate you even more.
Okay, okay, Tracy glanced at Melissa, Merry, I'm sorry, can you go out first?
Melissa is not dissatisfied. This is a rule in the industry. In a sense, it is even an honor. As an assistant agent, the more attention she discovers, the more power she has to speak with the big agent. At a certain level, she will be able to become the exclusive agent of an A-level big coffee, expand her network through constant contact with the outside world, and finally become a big agent. That's their trajectory.
Winking at Daniel, Melissa left here and returned to her office. Her job was to deal with the daily affairs of Tracy's clients, and she was invited by Michael to see the new actors. At best, she was a deputy.
There are only two people left in the office.
Daniel, you give me a sense of maturity beyond my age, so I will tell you all I can say, this is my working principle, I don't want if there is a chance to cooperate, there will be a lack of communication between us And a contradiction arises.
Yes, I understand.
The big Hollywood stars you have seen, at least they are still active now, almost all, this is not an exaggeration, almost all of them are completely different from what they show, or they are hiding, or cheating, or doing anything to succeed, Or low-quality, a racist, no matter how glamorous they are in public, they are the same behind the scenes. You know, if you want to join the ranks of Hollywood stars, it means that you will also be one of them, lifelong and false companionship.
Daniel was silent for a while, and finally gave up covering up for his own soul, I'm not surprised, and I don't feel disgusted either.
Very well, at least you don't have to feel ashamed of yourself.
The above is the first point, which means that you can be healthy. Of course, it seems that you can work hard to climb up in this circle in a healthy way without worrying about self-destruction. In addition, there is the second point, the agent , What is the definition of an agent, although I hate to say this, but the fact is, whether it is you, or Johnny Depp, a Hollywood star is a commodity in a sense, and the agent decides how to create and promote it. , The person who sells this product, in this process, the broker manages you in all aspects, ranging from what you eat and what you wear, to how you get married and have children. You have to make sure that you can accept this kind of management.”
But the returns are also very impressive. Beverly's average annual income does not exceed 60,000 US dollars, but a B-level star's annual income is in millions. As for higher-level stars, such as Johnny, private islands, Yachts, luxury parties, all the enjoyment you can think of can come true.”
Tracy is like Satan, her words are full of darkness and temptation. If Daniel had only been a teenager, he might have been either terrified or intoxicated. But now Daniel is mature and rational. Tracy is not wrong. Hollywood is fair in a sense. Pay and get rewarded. Regardless of whether this transaction follows universal values and ethics, it at least It follows the rules of the balance, equal weight on both sides.
But it would be an exaggeration to say that getting into Hollywood is like falling into a trap, you have a lot of options, it just depends on what each person wants.
Tracey, I think I get it, Daniel said. I want to be successful in Hollywood. I don't know if it's money or fame, but that doesn't matter. I know what I need to do. , isn't it? I will follow your arrangement. Of course, sometimes I will wish to express my views, but I will not insist on my own way.
We'll have a solution, because our goals are the same, aren't we?
Tracy was noncommittal, had never stepped into that environment, and would never be able to feel it personally. But at least they now have a consensus.
If you have no doubts, I can draw up the contract right away.
Of course.——asking for collection and recommendation, the book has been signed——
