Ace Hollywood

(Second update, recommended, recommended, collected and collected, it is really hard to ask for nothing)

After the party, Andy drove away, and Daniel went through another door to a private club on Maples Avenue.

Kim Payson was here waiting for him.

"Daniel, I'm glad you can come." Payson showed a friendly and joyful smile on his face, which reminded Daniel of the dilemma that he had nowhere to find at the beginning. Well-known managers were unwilling to invest in newcomers. On the one hand It's because newcomers can't make money. On the other hand, if newcomers come out, there will always be a chance to recruit them. No one is a fool. Betrayal, or choosing out of need, is an essential quality for every Hollywood success.

It made him slightly awkward, but it didn't matter.

"Payson, I'm a little surprised by your invitation." Daniel said bluntly, and now he is the buyer.

Although Kim Payson is also a partner of CAA, he cannot be compared with Kevin Goley. His main rights are still with Tom Hanks.

"It's getting late, I think you already know my reason for coming." Kim Payson didn't intend to talk nonsense, but went straight to the point, "Daniel, you have to find a new manager, he doesn't have to be me, But definitely not Cusa Damon, yes, the whole CAA is shocked by what you have achieved, so Cusa has completed a path that others can only complete in ten years, and he is now the most promising young man in CAA, Ino Martin was full of praise for him.

He got his paycheck. But that shouldn't include your future. I think you absolutely understand this point. Cusa Damon will be unable to handle your next development. A-level big production, 20 million film salary, 20% upfront share, he can fight for you what? "

"Payson, your descriptions are indeed exciting, but those are not that close to me."

"Do you think it's far? Daniel, you don't understand where you're at. You're as young as Cusa, and it's going to destroy you. Listen to me, Gere has learned that Universal executives and some big names have seen it. "Gladiator" they wowed you, what does that mean? Means I'm going to get you an Oscar nominee, twenty or twenty one year old Oscar nominee, that's going to ruin the attacks on your age and your acting skills Conspiracy. Then there's Lord of the Rings, where maybe you're not as visible, but you also have The Bourne, and once that movie is successful, you can go straight to the top of the list for the second part. Do you know? And even if the sequel is hopeless, that’s okay, I will fight for new opportunities for you, I have been Tom’s agent for more than ten years, and I know almost all the big names in Hollywood.

As long as you have enough potential, there will be no shortage of opportunities. "

"This is ideal—"

Payson interrupted him, "No, it's not ideal. Ideally, you should win the supporting actor Oscar with "Gladiator", "Legal Blonde" swept the North American box office, you are the only one in "Lord of the Rings", and "Spy" "Shadow" was an unprecedented success, that's the ideal state. What I'm talking about is a very likely situation, Daniel, I don't know if you don't know yourself too well, or someone deliberately deceived you, but you really There must be a broker who can give you accurate positioning.

And I am the best candidate. "

Kim Payson's brown eyes stared at Daniel, full of strength and compulsion.

"I will give you a chance to win, power, money, status and other currencies that are common in Hollywood will belong to you, young man, don't be bound by unnecessary feelings.

"

Daniel took a deep breath and was silent for a long time.

"Then, Parsons, since you know my situation so well, you should know that I am not at ease. Now the newspapers are full of reports all day long that I am about to fail."

Payson curled the corner of his mouth, as if he had grasped something, "Daniel, you want to try me first."

"If I were your agent, you would never face such a dilemma. I know you don't want to refuse Steven's invitation, but you have a better way. You can take this job with awe. , and then that young director Qiao Sen will attract a lot of attention for you, good or bad, what does it matter? Because in the end these will become unsolved mysteries."

"What do you mean?"

"Josen couldn't have finished that short film."

Daniel frowned tightly, "Everything is in place, the USC Alumni Association and even the producer will prepare for him, he just needs to shoot it."

"Huh, everything falls into place? No, the director won't be in place, he might get into a car accident, he might break his leg, he might even have a super scandal or some petty crime that could send him to jail for years, like having sex with a minor There are many ways for people to have a relationship. All in all, he will not appear on the shooting scene.

Without the director, do you think this short film will still be successful? "

"you mean?"

"No, it's not what I mean, it's what we mean, in order to succeed. If you feel guilty, you can definitely help him in the back. When you become famous, if you want to help a rookie director, of course there is no problem, I promise, He will be grateful to you."

After Kim Payson finished speaking, he showed a strange smile, which Daniel felt was a bit like a demon.

"When Hanks was filming Forrest Gump, were the rumors true?" Daniel seemed to think of something.

Kim Payson narrowed his eyes, "Of course, this matter is not a secret. Someone lit a fire on the set and almost burned the film."

Speaking of this Tom's masterpiece - because of it, Hanks was able to win two consecutive Oscar winners, Kim Pysen also showed a little fascinated look, he was missing the scenery and glory at that time, at that moment, Tom Hanks has almost become the God of Hollywood, and he, with God.

"But that's nothing. There are many things that go too far between the Seven Greats. Daniel, as long as you follow my plan and move forward step by step, no one can stop you from becoming the new Tom Hanks. You know? You will be proud of your choice today."

Daniel took a few sips from the coffee cup before speaking, "Yes, I think so, I will get back to you soon."

"Huh?" Kim Payson was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course, I will wait for your decision, young man, you can sit a little longer, I have already paid the bill. Hanks has more tonight For the event, I have to accompany him personally, so I have to excuse myself first."

"tonight?"

"Yes, big stars are not so easy to do. There will be big people who want to see you at any time, and talk to you about salary, 20 million or 30 million, and talk to you about the share, 15 or 20. Of course, it's upfront. A share, Hanks never accepts a share of the surplus."

Daniel nodded and watched Kim Patson leave.

When he got home, it was almost twelve o'clock. He didn't know if there were paparazzi so dedicated, but he had to go home.

Andy woke up with a start.

"Sorry to wake you up."

"fine."

"You inform Kusa to come tomorrow, okay?"

"What?" Andy was still a little sleepy.

"Please ask Kusa to come here tomorrow, I have something to talk to him about."

Andy opened his mouth. He knew that today Daniel was going to meet Kim Pysen. So, Daniel has already made a decision?
