Ace Hollywood

"Didn't they find Matt Damon for this?" Daniel pointed to "The Bourne".

He loves this set of movies, especially the first one. Doug Liman's shooting techniques and editing methods make this movie special and charming. The fly in the ointment is that the protagonist Matt Damon is still a little jerky.

The first part of "Bourne Shadow" was released in 2002, which means that it will be filmed in the second half of 2000 or early 2001, so the first protagonist should have been determined long ago.

As far as he knows, when Doug Liman was filming this commercial film, in order to pay tribute to the German movie "Run Lola" that inspired him, he even chose the heroine of "Lola" Franka Bertant— — a red-haired actress from Germany. As for the leading actor, Matt Damon, who just had a wonderful performance in Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", was also chosen by him himself.

But from the perspective of competitors, Matt just took over "Ocean's Eleven" - created by the great director Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, Brad Pitt. So it may make Doug Liman, who is a little lower, hesitant-whether Matt can concentrate on playing "The Bourne".

Of course, if Matt has indeed signed a contract, then what's the point of thinking about it.

Koosa was amazed by Daniel's familiarity with the project. You must know that it was only a week since he learned that Matt Damon had been contacted for the "Bourne Shadow" project. In fact, the contact between the two parties only happened two weeks ago.

Before contacting Matt Damon, the new big star, the first thing the film crew wanted was Brad Pitt, who would cooperate with him in "Ocean's Eleven", but Pitt refused and took over the role instead. "Spy Game" by Tony Scott.

After that, the film crew also approached Russell Crowe, who was supposed to be filming "Gladiator" at the time. After Crowe turned it down, they sought out other A-list stars, including Stallone, but were unsuccessful. It can also be seen that this movie is not very attractive in the eyes of the already famous star, because he does not look very good looking.

Of course, "Bourne Shadow" is still a very good resource for newly promoted A-level actors like Matt.

"Both Doug Liman and Universal are more satisfied with Matt Damon, huh, a thousand years ago, maybe we all belonged to the same Damon family, so congratulations to him. However, Damon has already signed A "Ocean's Eleven", which is directed by Steven Soderbergh, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt working together, so how much Matt's attention can be allocated to "The Bourne Shadow" The script really worries Liman. Doug Liman is famous for his obsession with filming."

"Okay, even if the opportunity exists, they must not be looking for an actor of my level. You must know that "Gladiator" will be released at least after October next year. Even if I can get some affirmation with this movie, but that Soon, "The Bourne Shadow" will start filming."

"Commerdius didn't belong to you back then." Kusa said with a smile, "But we got him, as long as we work hard, I don't think anything is impossible."

Daniel shrugged, "You're right, maybe you can contact them."

"Listen, Danny, this time is different from "Gladiator". All the resources. We gotta get our spirits up."

"Cousa,

You have to understand that if we are determined to go for it, then other good opportunities are equivalent to giving up. "Daniel saw some good options on the film list, such as Paramount's "Fear Killing", and the great director Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report"-starring Tom Cruise.

Kusa glanced at the regular film list, "Yes, there are many opportunities, so do you have any other ideas?"

"Can't you try them all?"

"You'll be fine."

Daniel was silent for a while, and decided to surrender. If he was asked to audition for three or five roles in less than twenty days, he would definitely collapse. Even oil painting might not be able to help him. Besides, he still has There are a lot of people who can't refuse to line up to participate.

"OK, "The Bourne Shadow." Daniel went through the production list again, and now he needs a mainstream commercial film with a leading actor to maintain his popularity and improve his status.

Cusa obviously figured out what they needed earlier than Daniel, and "Bourne Shadow" is the most suitable. Although the competition is fierce, none of Daniel's roles so far has come easily, except for "College Blues".

"Danny, you're going to need a driver and bodyguard soon." Kusa sent Daniel to his new house—a discounted mansion given to him by CAA.

Daniel leaned on the back seat, "Before then, I need to make more money, otherwise I won't be able to support more people."

"That's right, so no matter what the next movie is, it has to be more than three million." Kusa is full of confidence, "When "Gladiator" is released, maybe we will enter the five million or even eight million club gone."

"May the God of Wealth bless me."

"God of Wealth?"

"The Chinese god of wealth."

"Do you still have research on China?" Kusa turned into the road on the right, "But China is so big, it may become a big overseas ticket warehouse in the future. But I heard that the piracy there is too serious, and China seems to have no idea about copyright. What’s wrong, almost none of the genuine movie VCDs can be sold.”

Daniel was noncommittal.

They pulled into Malibu in no time, and the traffic was noticeably lessened.

"This is your new house." Kusa said, looking at the azure-colored exterior wall in front of him. "The house is not particularly big, but the environment is not bad. At least you can move around freely inside without worrying about the paparazzi."

In Malibu, this house is really not big, but for Daniel, who has been renting a house, it is like a palace. It has six houses, three halls, a garden and a bath on the top floor.

"Can you have a separate cloakroom, or do you need a studio? The largest one can be used as the master bedroom, and Kusa and I should also have a room, and the small one is fine. The rest can be used as guest rooms. The largest living room It is more suitable to hold a banquet, the two small halls are too small, they are only suitable for restaurants or bars." Andy suggested clearly after going around.

"... Very reasonable, just do as you said, where is my luggage?"

Before Daniel went to Italy, he packed all his luggage at Kusa’s house, and when the house was tidied up, Kusa brought all his luggage here, and they were all piled up in the small hall.

...

Daniel didn't have much time to stay in his new mansion, so he temporarily hired a driver, a Mexican, to take Andy to the mansion in Malibu, the villa in Beverly, and even the Hilton Hotel.

He met Russell Crowe twice. Crowe is in full swing now, and he can invite him to parties, which are usually hosted by A-level stars, big directors, and CEOs of production and distribution companies. Daniel is very fond of such parties. Can't refuse.

At a banquet held by the head of the Fox production department, at least thirty Hollywood actors with surnames were present, and Russell Crowe also took the time to attend. Kraut came over to chat with Daniel, but he really Too busy, and soon turned to Robert Zemeckis, the big director is shooting a new Fox film - Tom Hanks' "Cast Away".

But it also gave Daniel the opportunity to chat for a few minutes with several of the leading actors of "Scream 3", one of the purposes of this party is to warm up for the upcoming world premiere of "Scream 3".

Daniel and Neve Campbell, they had a surprisingly good chat. Neveu made her mark in Hollywood because she starred in Fox's "Family of Five". After that, she starred in the same Fox's "Scream" series and became a first-line star in Hollywood.

On the list of the most glamorous female movie stars of the year selected by "News", she is second only to Natalie Portman, who became famous all over the world because of "Star Wars".

But she's an unassuming Canadian who, despite her acclaimed eyes, is usually quite unassuming. The important thing is that she studied ballet since she was a child and was a member of the National Ballet of Canada, which is an amazing dance company and is famous all over the world.

Daniel had the longest girlfriend when he was at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and he studied ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy. He really knows ballet very well.

Neve is also a person who doesn’t want to join in the fun. Talking about ballet, oil painting and Roman history with Daniel is better than praising each other with those big stars.

"Daniel, how about coming to our premiere?" Neveu invited him with a smile, "But you have to be prepared, I'm a gossip machine."

Neve is indeed deeply loved by various tabloids. Since she divorced her ex-husband in 1997, almost all the male stars who have worked with her will have scandals with her. Maybe it was a fabrication by tabloid reporters at the beginning, but later , when she is getting more and more attention, more and more beautiful and sexy, those lesser-known male actors will inevitably have some plans.

These scandals have bothered Neveu for a while, but they have been much better lately.

Daniel knew that the premiere was on December 16th at the Chinese Theater, and he should be able to spare time, so he readily accepted the invitation. He is about to leave Hollywood again, and he still has to fight to show his face more.

What's more, Fox has high hopes for "Scream 3", and the premiere ceremony is also budget-enough and huge, and film critics, writers and reporters from New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other parts of the United States have been invited.

The party lasted until eleven o'clock in the evening. Daniel was a little sleepy, and people began to chat in a small circle. He was mixed with Crowe's group. Although he was not underestimated, it was difficult to have any high emotions. Say goodbye to the master first, and go home with Andy.

"We can rest for a few days," Andy flipped through the calendar, and Daniel's intensive party schedule came to an end for the time being, because he had to start thinking about the audition for "The Bourne".

But obviously, Andy and he have some wishful thinking.

A call from Kusa made Daniel bid farewell to the peaceful life in 1999.

"Entertainment Weekly" published a not-too-large report-"Daniel Sandler's Rise to Fame Story".

The reporter had clearly done a fair amount of work, and even though it still adhered to the basics of a large, powerful outlet, it read between the lines about what happened to Daniel in Brooklyn.

Like he comes from a single parent family with an unmarried mother, like his mother died of drugs and alcohol. They write thus:

"Daniel's opportunity to become famous must be envied by many people. Before Christmas in 1998, he had been working as a chef at a hot dog restaurant in East Frybash. The sweet boy of the local housewives. A local food show in New York visits the hot dog place during an episode, so Daniel is on TV—for the first time ever.

Back then, "School Blues" director Brian Robbins was looking for an actor to play Billy Bob—a previous candidate also happened to be out because of drugs. Bryan was at his house in Manhattan, and just happened to—yes, just happened to see Daniel Sandler, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, where he got another job at a hot dog shop—of course, he It didn't take long for Bryan to audition, and he was granted the opportunity, which made him famous.

Presumably everyone will not forget that those few photos that appeared in almost every corner of the Internet—that is, the photos of Daniel after working out—sexy body and handsome face, which made him the most watched Hollywood star.

His popularity made the movie "College Blues" a box office of more than 87 million.

The next thing, I think everyone is very clear, he won a role in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" later - it was not a particularly important role, but Daniel's appearance was extremely amazing, like a real Elf prince. From what we understand, there was some drama to Daniel getting this opportunity.

According to him, he auditioned for Legolas because he was mistaken for the role by a makeup artist. We've learned that, as originally planned, his role was that of Elendil—a big extra. We tried to interview River, the make-up artist who was auditioning for the film, and River said that a man next to Daniel told him that he did the Legolas makeup for Daniel because he changed the audition role temporarily. That man must have been Cusa Damon, a rising star in the brokerage world.

It's a pretty trick, isn't it? Daniel's agent graduated from a prestigious school, and it's no surprise that he is skilled.

Daniel, who filmed "Campus Blues" and gained some popularity on the Internet, was still living in a rented house near Beverly at that time-he once said in an interview that it cost five hundred dollars a month. During this period, Daniel, who had tasted the taste of fame, was most welcomed by his neighbors-those were basically young people who came to Hollywood to pursue their dreams, and most of them were girls. They were not as lucky as Daniel, and they could win one or two extra roles at most, which was not enough to pay the five hundred dollars rent for the house.

They approached Daniel, hoping to gain some opportunities through him.

Among them, Kimley Adams, who is closest to Daniel—they live across the street, Kimley accepted our interview: 'He (Daniel) said he could introduce me to the director, and he would work hard to get me a good one in the director's new movie. Too big a supporting role, oh, I have nothing to hide, God knows how I wish I had the chance to act, I've been in Los Angeles for two years, and I haven't played a character with a line.

Then he asked me to go to him at night, and said that he would tell me about the crew. We are not children, so we all understand what he means. But so what, I didn't go, there were plenty of bitches upstairs and downstairs who were willing to go, so I went, and we did what adults would do. But then he didn't keep his promise, he didn't even open the door for me anymore, I know he's getting more and more popular, and there are a lot of girls on the Internet who are crazy about him, but I can't sleep with him for nothing. That's why I'm being interviewed. And as far as I know, I'm not the only girl who has been cheated on. ’—Whether Kimlee’s statement is true or not, we don’t know, but she did live across the street from Daniel, of course, before our sexy boy moved to Malibu mansions.

As we said before, whether Daniel Sandler will become the next young superstar is still unknown. At least, we have to be sure that this is a guy worth pursuing. "

It's Entertainment Weekly again!

The magazine seemed to set a negative tone on Daniel's coverage.

Koussa's first words as he hustles to Malibu: "Did you really get on that bitch?"

And Daniel's first sentence was: "A rising star in the brokerage world, how do you feel now?"

Andy calmly served them coffee and green tea.

"Someone must be playing tricks, otherwise, even if "Weekly" doesn't like you, it wouldn't be so nonsense." Kusa said angrily after getting Daniel's repeated assurance that he didn't sleep with Kimley Adams.

"No doubt. Who do you think?"

"You are so popular now, there are too many possible candidates." Kusa rubbed his temples, "But this time they spent a lot of money, if they just take precautions before they happen, it would be a bit unruly. Therefore, the most likely thing is to go with We have holidays."

"..." Daniel and Kusa glanced at each other, almost saying in unison, "Philip!"

UTA's senior broker Philip Gaurley.

They won the Gladiator competition in a big way, taking the part of Commodius. Philip didn't act too aggressively either. According to Hollywood rules, once the dust has settled on the role, both parties will naturally stop. After all, Feng Shui takes turns, and who knows when there will be opportunities for cooperation.

So did Daniel and Cusa.

But it's a pity that they haven't ushered in the opportunity to cooperate, and they are going to confront each other again. Philip obviously got the news that Daniel is going to compete for "Bourne Shadow". This time it is not Joaquin Phoenix, but his One of the twin stars, Matt Damon, is in great shape.

New and old hatred, who else could it be if it wasn't Philip.

But this time, Philip obviously learned his lesson and decided to deal with him in his own way, first to discredit Daniel's good reputation on the Internet. Daniel's biggest reliance now is his super popularity on the Internet. As long as this part is poached, Daniel is just an ordinary C-level actor, and he has no competitiveness against Matt Damon.

"Now, I can't fight if I don't want to." Kusa suddenly smiled.
