Ace Hollywood

(Book friends, Danny’s first recommendation, the results are a bit dismal. Please collect the recommendation, support me, and make me more motivated to work hard. Here is a 5,000-word chapter.)

Cusa slammed on the brakes and both of them nearly hit the front windshield.

"What did you say?"

Daniel was still in shock, "Kusa, didn't you really buy your driver's license for five dollars?"

"Oh no, stop kidding, you just said you knew how to do it? What do you mean?"

"Let's go back and talk about it." Daniel looked back at the honking motorcade, "The driver in the back looks very strong, and the two of us may not be rivals."

Kusa gave him a speechless look and restarted the car.

Soon they arrived at the CAA building.

"Kusa, I think you might have been speeding just now." Daniel unbuckled his seat belt, "You have to prepare to pay the ticket."

"Daniel, can you please be quiet on the way from the garage to the office?"

Kousa was cheating on Daniel, and the ramblings clearly resented him.

The two walked quickly into the office.

"Say, what did you think of?"

Daniel took a breath, "Just now I saw two black men fighting in the car, one of them punched the other hard and knocked him down."

"so what?"

"So why don't we just punch? Instead of walking around the boxing ring." Daniel's eyes brightened, "Philip spent a lot of favors, I think the Oscar judges are not so easily persuaded, if in the end we want to To get the role, it would have cost him all of his hard work, and you can't balance the face of Phillip with the Ridley role."

"In that case—"

"Since that's the case, why not simply roll up your sleeves and give him a punch." Daniel made a right hook, "They rely on Rui Fan's influence and Philip's Oscar connections, we can destroy these, and even kill two birds with one stone. "

Daniel finally said his plan.

"Kusa, I have heard about Rui Fan. He is indeed a good boy with outstanding talent and a sense of responsibility to his family. This may make me feel a little ashamed, but we know that the cause of his death was a drug overdose. It’s not an aboveboard way to die. If you imagine that “Gladiator” chooses Jacques and uses Rui Fan to promote the film, then you definitely don’t want Rui Fan to be considered a bad boy, a self-indulgent self-indulgent who died of drug overdose full of young Hollywood stars. Do you know what I mean? If Rui Fan is no longer so positive and cannot give the movie the publicity it deserves, then this advantage of Joaquin will disappear, and if we remove Rui Fan from If everyone finds out from memory, they will also be given a discount. Emotion is a card, and it is enough to play it once."

Kusa nodded thoughtfully, "Even if they choose Jacques, they have to worry about the relationship between the movie and Rui Fan. A movie that generates criticism is very detrimental to impacting the Oscars. Those who intercede with Jacques The Oscar judges have nothing to say, they cannot use Oscar to ask Ridley to offend Oscar."

"Perfect!"

"No, not perfect, we are going to discredit a dead talented actor." Daniel looked at Kusa, "Kusa, I already feel that I am gradually degrading."

"That's a good thing,

Whoever has fallen the most will be able to achieve greater achievements. "

"I hope it is as you say."

Daniel clapped his hands and clasped them together, "Okay, put away the crocodile tears. Go collect some detailed information about Rui Fan, then arrange an exclusive interview, and find a newspaper with a greater influence. Please communicate with Peter, can you announce my participation in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" in advance."

"From now on, Rui Fan is my idol."

Daniel has always praised Kusa's execution ability.

He quickly brought over all kinds of materials from Rui Fan, even including his friends.

"Johnny Depp? Keanu Reeves?" Daniel saw two names.

"Yes, Rui Fan doesn't have many friends, and these two are basically friends with him on drugs. Of course, after hearing that Rui Fan passed away, they all quit."

Daniel nodded, ""Unlimited Wanted", Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. "My Private Idaho", oh, this is it, the youngest Venice actor."

"...His innate talent, unique fragile temperament and sad green eyes make every film he participates in unforgettable. The complex and profound layers and fragile and unruly temperament he gives to the characters, become the most talked about by people.”

This is the conclusion of an interview.

"How can vulnerable people survive in Hollywood?" Daniel's voice was so low that only he could hear it.

He has a deep understanding of Rui Fan's life experience. This talented actor worked hard for a living at a very young age. His family experience gave him two characteristics that a successful actor needs, extremely strong and extremely sensitive. But this is also the root cause of his end in the end.

Cusa went out to make a phone call while he was flipping through it.

When he came back, he told Daniel what Peter Jackson meant. The list of leading actors was already known to everyone, and Daniel could announce his participation at any time.

"Great. Cusa, hurry up, Ridley may have to make a decision soon."

Kusa nodded, "I'll contact the media right away, how about the Los Angeles Times?"

"If you can. Of course the New York Times is better." Daniel made a not-so-funny joke.

As expected, Kusa rolled his eyes at him, "Let's wait until you get the Oscar."

Of course, the threshold for The New York Times is not that high, but Daniel is obviously not enough weight at this time.

...

As Daniel thought, Ridley had indeed made up his mind.

He confides his heart to his old friend Drake, which means telling Daniel his decision.

That's why Daniel almost gave up when he heard it.

You know, the biggest advantage of their side lies in Ridley's recognition of Daniel.

If even this is lost, then everything will be a joke.

However, Drake's inspiration made Daniel think of a chance to save his life from a desperate situation. Now we will see the final effect of this strategy.

Cusa reached out to Los Angeles Times veteran reporter Zeta Jones through his CAA connections.

A similar name to Hollywood's latest up-and-coming Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Jones is an intellectual beauty, a top student at Columbia University, who has a little contempt for Hollywood stars who are generally not highly educated. But it doesn't matter. The reason Kusa came to her was because the last news about Daniel's weight loss came from her.

They had a preliminary communication, and Jones was very interested in this interview because the last report was considered prescient. The focus of the interview, on the part of Daniel, must be his "idol" River Phoenix, and then other things, such as the bleak childhood experience, of course he will not say that his mother likes drugs, but only that she is a victim Poor woman abandoned by her husband, strong enough to support the child and raise him to be such a well-mannered Hollywood star with great potential.

"She is more interested in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", and then why you turned out to be born. Finally, Rui Fan." The communication between Cusa and Jones is not satisfactory, and Daniel's side is still too weak. If He's famous enough that the media won't question the focus of their interviews.

Daniel thought about it, "Tell her that we and Joaquin Phoenix are competing for the role of "Gladiator."

"Danny—"

"Kusa, listen to me, Jones is a veteran entertainment reporter, she will understand what to do."

Kusa quickly reacted, and even thought of more, "You mean she won't be in a hurry to reveal the news, if you get the role in the end, then she is befriending a future big star, A-level production The first supporting role is almost a perfect step forward. And if you fail in the end, she can definitely make some moves on this news, continue to consume Rui Fan, and can add you and Jacques."

"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Gladiator, if she wasn't so short-sighted, she should understand that this is the best time to invest."

Kusa let out a long breath.

"I will communicate with her. I hope everything is as we want."

"Will do."

Daniel continued to devote himself to the drafting of the interview speech. He had to highlight Rui Fan's youth, indulgence and the cause of death, but at the same time show that his motives for saying all this were good. In short, he had to ensure that Rui Fan After Fan's bad words, he can still maintain a positive image, and even go one step further.

It's kind of wicked, and it's hard.

There is no news from Kusa yet, but Daniel accidentally received a call from Drake. "Has Ridley decided to announce the candidate?"

Daniel was shocked.

"Yes, he called me specifically, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future." Delaque also felt a little regretful, "Daniel, this time is indeed too difficult, maybe next time there will be a good result."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Daniel felt that his thinking was extremely clear, "I remember that Ridley said that the candidate would be announced before this weekend, which means there are still four days, Derek, can you Can't help me again, four days, give us four more days."

"What else can you do?"

Daniel told Drake about his plan without reservation. Although Drake gave them some general ideas to solve the problem, he was still surprised by this specific plan.

"In this way, you and Philip will be completely torn apart, and Universal is bound to be very upset. Even Ridley may not be unresponsive."

"But we have no choice, don't we?" Daniel said to Drake, "Drake, you understand how cruel Hollywood is, yes, I may continue to wait for the next opportunity, but you feel that the next opportunity will definitely Is it easier? And, as long as I’m good enough in Gladiator, it’s going to be fine, no one’s really going to get mad at a fast-rising seed.”

Drake was silent for a while, "Okay, you convinced me, I'll call Ridley, four days."

"Thank you so much, Draco, I just don't know what to say."

"It doesn't have to be like this. The peaceful life sometimes makes me feel bored. It's very interesting to watch a young man succeed."

Daniel was a little caught off guard by the sudden call, but since Draco had promised, he would definitely be able to convince Ridley.

Nakusa must speed up.

He immediately called Kusa, "Get her done, at most the newspaper the morning after tomorrow will have our interview, Kusa, it's all about success or failure. Even if she falls in love with your 'big nose', please Make a sacrifice, okay?"

"fuuuck!" Kusa hung up the phone and cursed in a low voice.

Back at the table, Jones was tasting her black rose coffee, which was said to be served with ice cubes and cherry brandy, suitable for women who were cold on the outside but hot and debauched on the inside.

Cusa touched his nose.

"Jones, we've already told you what we mean, now tell me your answer, okay?"

Kusa looked at Jones intently. Although he was not a handsome man, and he was not very eye-catching when standing with Daniel, he was a man with deep eye sockets and a hard outline. He was a man with unique charm.

Jones is a career-oriented woman who is still unmarried. She still has a good impression of this young and energetic guy in front of her. More importantly, he graduated from Duke University, so they are in the same group.

Of course, she doesn't trade jobs.

"Mr. Damon."

"Call me Cusa, Jones, it'll be kinder."

Jones glanced at Cusa's body. It should be a muscular young body with well-defined muscles. She felt an unbearable itch slowly rising in her body.

Of course, Kusa also felt the changes in the lady opposite. Jones was a good one-night stand. She definitely paid more attention to safety than men, and she was not as jerky as a young girl.

"Yes, Kusa, I think we can talk about it in detail, this is good material. But I have work under me, so I have to arrange another time."

"So, can I delay your private time tonight? Jones, you are really beautiful today, and your clothes are also very charming."

The looming black BRA does give Jones some more charming temperament.

...

Kusa sent Daniel a text message.

Daniel was a little dazed when he saw it. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Kusa to really work so hard.

"Everyone is paying, isn't it? As long as you succeed, everything is worth it." Daniel murmured, speaking to himself.

Jones has an independent apartment in Los Angeles. She is a materially affluent woman with a refined and regular life.

Kusa's arrival broke the usual calm.

The movement in the room rang for a long time before it gradually quieted down.

"Kusa, you... are awesome."

"You're... great too, Jones."

"Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to... CAA, please be precise."

"Let's not talk about that just yet, it makes me feel like I'm in business."

Jones laughed out loud, and she grabbed Cusa's head, "Then let's just do it and not talk, sir, are you okay?"

"certainly."

Jones's quiet apartment was buzzing again.

The next morning, Cusa and Daniel met at CAA, and they needed to do some research on the answers.

"You look in good spirits."

Kusa lowered his head and marked the key points on the paper while dealing with him, "Yes, everything is wonderful."

"That would be great

"Okay, Daniel, stop spying on the news. As you think, everyone is an adult, and it's just a good night."

Daniel stuck out his tongue.

"She arrives at CAA at two o'clock in the afternoon. You will talk for about an hour. There will be photographers, so later Martha will come and do your makeup."

"OK, everything is going well."

Indeed, everything went well, and Jones even provided some professional input on the content of his answers, and indicated that he would highlight what they wanted to highlight when writing the manuscript.

After watching Jones leave CAA, Daniel looked at Cusa thoughtfully.

When they parted and shook hands, they even secretly hooked their hands.

A buddy at work, and a good gun~friend?

Daniel shook his head and decided not to think about it.

The newspaper will be published tomorrow, and influence will determine everything, but fortunately, "Campus Blues" is still in theaters, and the total box office has exceeded 50 million. After this week, it should reach 65 million, and finally it is fixed at the estimated box office of 85 million There should be no suspense. This has provided Daniel with continuous enthusiasm, and it is true that he is also very low-key, and has not accepted any interviews or program invitations so far, so the Internet and public opinion are still quite eager for news about him.

After the interview, Daniel and Kusa looked at each other, feeling like they didn't know what to do.

Now all there is to do is wait.

"Kusa, give yourself a vacation." Daniel stood up suddenly, "This time is too tense, let's relax tonight."

"Oh no, I just want to go back to sleep."

Daniel pulled out his phone to see who he could ask out for a drink.

Ellie Larter is not in China now, but went to work in Europe. Melissa was recently locked down by her father because she didn't come home from two days of crazy fun with her sisters.

It may not be enough time to go to Stanford to see Mark.

Daniel had to resign himself to calling Paul Walker, who was in Los Angeles recently preparing a new movie.

Paul is really a good brother, and the two quickly agreed to a bar.

They all have some fame now, but it doesn't affect travel, but it's only for a while, and the quiet life of ordinary people will only get farther and farther away from them in the future.

"Beatle Frenzy?"

"The boss is a crazy fan of the Beatles, so he will praise the Beatles later, and there may be a discount."

Daniel nodded knowingly.

Paul ordered a brandy, Daniel only had soda.

He raved about a limited-edition Beatles-themed T-shirt worn by his boss, only to be skipped the soda order.

It was a real surprise.

"Very potential." Paul gave Daniel a meaningful look.

God knows, he really thought that dress was cool, even though he didn't like the Beatles at all.

The Beatles Fever is a bit of a misnomer, and the atmosphere of the bar is fairly quiet, without crazy young people and lustful men and women, it is a good place for conversation and tasting wine.

"How are you preparing for your new movie? Hey, by the way, what is it called? You didn't tell me."

"Recently changed the name, it's not so good, it's called "Fast and Furious"!"
