Ace Hollywood

(Please collect and recommend tickets, please!!) Back in Los Angeles, the first call Daniel received surprised him. It was from the crew of "School Blues", but it wasn't Paul or Ellie.

Instead, James van der Beek!

It seems that the biggest beneficiary of "High School Blues" is the actor, who just won an MTV movie trophy - the audience awarded the most breakthrough actor award to James, which is an exciting achievement.

But James wasn't much happier.

If you comb through the main cast of "School Blues," there's nothing surprising about this.

Paul Walker has taken on Universal's new action movie, The Fast and the Furious, and it's designed as a franchise, if the response is good. Allie Larter was an up-and-coming actress in four films last year, and then she took on "Death Comes," which was a small production but was well-received in various test screenings , it will be released on a large scale in a few days, with at least 2,500 screens, and the estimated box office in North America is more than 50 million.

As for Daniel Sandler, he is now a certain central point in the whole of Hollywood. Although people's eyes are still on those super big names, they are watching him from the corner of their eyes, waiting for him to soar into the sky or fail completely.

James himself? He doesn't have any particularly eye-catching new works, and he doesn't look like the first protagonist in it.

"My friends want to get to know you, how about it? Do you have the face to participate?" James invited Daniel in a joking tone.

Paul Walker was also invited, and even Ellie Larter would find time out of her busy schedule to attend, so it would be hard for Daniel to say no.

Otherwise, James, or a friend of his, could always be interviewed and say that Daniel "arrogantly" turned down an old friend's party invitation—the only one for the entire "School Blues" crew.

That's too bad.

So Daniel came to James’s high-end apartment in Beverly Hills on Friday night. He is now paid a lot but has few opportunities. Affording a high-end apartment may be a big expense, but if you want to live in a poor I'm afraid you can't invite any Hollywood dreamers, motivated or not, to a party in a rented house.

"Look, who's here, our Daniel Sandler, woohoo!"

Daniel came later, he had an appointment. James and his friends have had a good drink, and Paul and Ellie are sitting together talking. Seeing Daniel coming in, Paul waved his hand, but James' howling made him shrug his shoulders.

James came over and put his arms around Daniel's shoulders, introducing his friends to him, but he didn't know anyone.

"This is Daniel Sandler."

The girls raised their chests up to him, their eyes sparkling provocatively. There is no doubt that as long as Daniel speaks up, it will be no problem to have a good time tonight.

Daniel took a glass of wine, socialized for a while, and then sat down next to Paul and Ellie. He even saw someone taking drugs in the corner over there, a man and a woman were leaning against the door frame and rubbing each other's ears, the man's hands had long since disappeared into the girl's tight jeans.

This is the mainstream youth hangout.

"Why haven't you made a movie yet? Could it be that the project is on hold and you're about to lose your job?" Daniel asked Paul Walker pretending to be puzzled. Counting from the last time we met, "Fast and Furious" has been in preparation for a long time , but Paul has not entered the group yet,

Recently, I have been participating in some activities, shooting commercials and so on.

"Soon, it will start before Gladiator comes out."

Paul is also a little helpless. He took over this movie earlier than Daniel took over "Gladiator". Now "Gladiator" is about to be released, and his movie has not yet started.

"Are you going to make "Legally Blonde" soon?" Paul raised his glass and touched Daniel. "To be honest, I really don't understand why you want to take this movie. Are you short of money?"

"Of course, don't you need it?"

"It's enough anyway."

Daniel rolled his eyes. After "Fast and Furious", Paul didn't have to worry about money anymore.

"The box office share is a key point. MGM is insane. If they don't seize it, wouldn't they be too sorry for God's bestowal?"

Ellie was amused by Daniel, "MGM must not know you think so."

"I think they know, otherwise Daniel wouldn't be able to take over that movie. It's a female drama at all, and I'm afraid the male lead has no role at all." Paul curled his lips.

"You can earn three million without any role. How can there be such a good thing? Daniel must remember to introduce it to me."

The three of them chatted for a while, Ellie was called to dance, and Paul sneaked over, "Neson, oh, my agent, said that Universal has just finalized a new contract with you. How about it? Can you disclose the authoritative information ?”

Universal's confidentiality work is really strict, even the internal brokers are completely unaware of it.

But Daniel has no intention of hiding that Paul is a good boy who can be trusted, ""The Bourne", remember, don't tell your agent."

Paul was very surprised. He had guessed "The Bourne Shadow", but compared with Matt, Daniel really didn't seem to be competitive.

But before he could say anything, two blond girls came over with wine.

"Hey, Danny, why are you so bored?"

"Yes, Paul, let's have a drink."

The two chicks brought the wine to their mouths, but they still stopped them. There are nine out of ten gifts in the wine.

Maybe just for fun.

But Daniel and Paul are reluctant to touch these.

"Luna, is that right? I'm too strong to drink, you can drink more." Daniel pushed the wine over, and generally speaking, the other party would understand what you meant.

Like Paul's chick.

But Luna seemed to be a rookie, she pushed the wine back unhappily, "It's not a gentleman's job to refuse a lady, you have to drink it."

Not wanting to ruin the party, Daniel poured himself a drink from the bottle.

"Okay, beauty, gentlemen should do their best first."

"You are such a bad person, does my wine have AIDS?" Luna obviously doesn't understand social distance, they are too unfamiliar, and she will embarrass each other by yelling like this.

James, the host of the party, had to stop his fun and come over to inquire about the situation.

Luna added embellishment to the matter by saying, "As long as he drinks this glass of wine, I don't care about him, which is really disappointing."

James picked up the glass of wine, "Daniel, do yourself a favor and drink it."

"James, let me drink this, okay?" Daniel raised the wine in his hand, "I'm not used to sharing a glass with others."

James thought his demands would be met, he was the host of the party, and while he played the leading role, Daniel was just an insignificant supporting role.

"Daniel, drink it, don't spoil the fun, okay?"

"James—"

James interrupted Paul's roundabout, "Oh, Paul, I know you're all big stars now, but it's not that difficult to do something to your friends, right? It's just a glass of wine, do you want to share coffee?"

Daniel knew that his little friendship with James was over.

"I won't drink this glass of wine. James, now is the time for you to make a decision." Daniel put down his glass and stood up, "I have never heard that people with high or low coffee rank must drink any wine things."

The party quickly cooled down.

"This is the Daniel you want to meet." James dropped the glass without hesitation, and even couldn't wait, "He doesn't want to sell our face, and he doesn't want to be with us."

"As you said, maybe I should have told you this earlier, so that I didn't have to receive such an embarrassing invitation." Daniel finished with a contemptuous smile and left James' apartment directly.

Paul Walker and Ellie Larter exchanged glances. They don't play childish games of faction, but James' mentality is so obvious, and Daniel bears his humiliation, but it's not just Daniel's humiliation, but those of them who have voiced him. Before Daniel came, James could still maintain a little demeanor in front of Ellie, but he had already stabbed Paul several times.

"Let's go."

"Paul, what do you mean? Oh hey, are you choosing him as your friend now? That's right, he has a bright future and is worth investing in. And Ellie, why, you plan to recommend yourself as a pillow seat, I saw you when you were filming idea."

"What the hell, that's why we're here." Ellie muttered, refraining from splashing James with a brandy.

Seeing the backs of Paul and Ellie leaving, James shouted angrily inside, "Get out, get out. A bunch of bitches!"

...

"I'm sorry, the party broke up badly."

The three of them got together and sat at a bar.

Daniel was recognized by several groups of people. Anyway, this is a personality bar, not too many people, and none of them are believers in Hollywood.

"Come on, James is crazy." Ellie became a lot more aggressive, "Everyone knows his mentality, but don't take it out to be crazy, opportunities are won, how much did I sacrifice to get "Death Comes" ", what did he do again, taking drugs, throwing wild parties, changing women in turn."

Both Daniel and Paul knew about Ellie.

As they get more and more familiar with Hollywood, this kind of thing doesn't matter anymore. The producer of "Death is Coming" is still a trustworthy person, a lousy person who sleeps with you but refuses to give you a role. Hollywood counts.

And, there's nothing you can do about it, you can't always go to federal court and sue him.

"Tomorrow will be even more exciting!" Daniel raised his glass.

"Tomorrow will be even darker!" Ellie also held up.

"Tomorrow will be a sunny day!" Paul touched the other two with his cup.

Daniel glanced at Ellie.

"Tomorrow will be a sunny day."

...

Waking up with a hangover, Daniel had a headache. It was dark outside the window and it was raining lightly.

"Unreliable Paul."

He still has to meet with Qiao Sen Zhu today.
