Chapter 5: A Little Conspiracy
Even if Daniel wasn't really only nineteen years old, he still felt a little erratic after agreeing on the price.
He envisioned him working at a hot dog shop until he completed his fitness program, and then spending $3,000 to join the Screen Actors Guild to get the extra jobs they offered, crew by crew, and then wait for an opportunity, wait for a character with a few lines, maybe a waiter, maybe an airport employee, whatever it was, he believed he could seize the opportunity and at least get more important roles. And then it would be even better if he could get the favor of a competent agent who could help him get auditions for supporting roles in some TV series or low-budget independent films......
This is also the path of the vast majority of Hollywood famous actors.
There are only a few lucky geniuses like Leonardo DiCaprio.
But this is Hollywood, and opportunities are always unexpected.
Daniel's quiet heart seems to have come back to life, and it's a place of unparalleled and heart-pounding dreams. As for how much blood and tears are dirty under these dreams flowers, is it possible that Daniel saw less in his last life?
As long as he is proudly open, then all these and all of them are his nourishment.
"David, maybe you'll be able to see me in the cinema next year." Daniel's joy could only tell David, "It's incredible, isn't it?" ”
David, who was far away in New York, was obviously reluctant to talk on the phone with his excited friend at this time, "Well, Danny, uh, let's talk about this at another time, okay?" Ah~oh"
"......, this sperm-in-the-brain bastard." Daniel hung up the phone with a black line.
But this night is not destined to be lonely.
"Hey, this is Daniel Sandler."
"Ron Liszt? Oh, it's you, hello. Daniel blinked, a little inexplicable, but Liszt's demeanor after his defeat was quite admirable.
Mr. Liszt had obtained Daniel's landline from Triech, but he did not explain the original purpose of the call, but just rampage. made some exaggerated praise for Daniel's acting skills when he auditioned.
Then they gradually moved the conversation to a wider area, and Daniel looked at the time, nine forty o'clock.
After more than thirty minutes of talking, Daniel felt a little irritated despite Lang's inconsistent conversation with Brian's so-called "stupid face."
As if enough foreshadowing, Lang began to talk about a shooting in Washington. Patrols in Washington shot a young black man to death after warnings were ineffective, causing widespread social repercussions, and the dark clouds of racial discrimination loomed over the D.C.
Lang seems to be more supportive of white cops, even going so far as to say that "dead are criminals."
Daniel was shocked at this moment. As a Chinese, a large part of the impression of a superpower on the other side of the ocean is about various discriminatory remarks, such as the NBA Clippers owner insisting that he cannot be black when he chooses a green hat; For example, CNN's host's insulting remarks against China......
He grabbed a small second-hand tape recorder, left by the previous tenant of the house, who was probably a music lover, and Daniel used it to practice his lines and familiarize himself with Daniel's own voice and timbre.
When the cassette tape turned to record Liszt's discriminatory remarks again, Daniel was almost certain of Liszt's intentions, and if he was not mistaken, there should have been a tape recorder in the earpiece over there.
As long as Daniel says something about racism, even if he is not well-known, Brian and Michael will not be able to use him again, and neither will allow a time bomb in their movies, even if Brian or Michael themselves are racists.
For the film industry, it doesn't matter who you are at all, you can be full of swearing, drug addiction**, or even a mafia believer, but in public, you must be clean and sincere, otherwise your acting career will hardly improve even if it does not come to an abrupt end immediately.
"Lang, it's late, I still need to go to the crew's training tomorrow, let's talk about it here."
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little eager, but it still politely said goodnight.
Daniel did not directly debunk his intentions, a conspiracy on the surface was no longer lethal, not to mention, Daniel glanced at his tape recorder, with the handle in his hand, Liszt was no longer a threat to him.
In that case, why not stay in the shadows and wait quietly for things to develop.
When Daniel was lying on the bed, he suddenly remembered the high school student who lost his role because of smoking** and igniting the party scene, if he hadn't killed out of thin air, this role should have been taken by Liszt a long time ago.
It's thrilling.
is just a supporting role, which has already made Daniel see the cruelty and methods of Hollywood, and it is so fast and so straightforward, if it weren't for the fact that Ron Liszt was still a rookie and too eager and rough, Daniel really couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't fall into the trap.
Did James and Paul Walker have the same experience? One is a popular male star in Colombia, and the other is a new fresh meat from Universal Pictures, presumably the team behind them will help them stop these ghosts.
"When will we be able to have a strong economic man?" Daniel, who has been running the single gang for both lives, fell into a deep sleep with such thoughts.
……
Daniel doesn't have any research on U.S. law or Hollywood contracts, but he doesn't have anyone to turn to, and luckily Brian and Michael don't look like the ones trying to pit him on a small role. After signing the contract with trepidation, Daniel officially entered the pre-filming training, and the check for $10,000 would not arrive until the film was completed.
The film is titled "School Blues", and the background is a football game, and several of the main actors are either players or coaches, even women, who are also cheerleaders of the team. Ellie Rattle, the cheerleader in the movie and the girlfriend of Lance, the best quarterback in the state, and, of course, after Jonathan's birth, she abandoned Lance, who had a scrapped athletic career.
It's really not a likable character.
In addition to Ellie Rattle, another actress, Amy Smart, plays Lance's sister and Jonathan's official girlfriend.
In reality, Ellie and Amy are model partners who work together.
It's always easy for young people to get acquainted with each other, except for James, who has gained considerable popularity with "The Age of Love", a popular TV series known as the "American teen growth textbook", everyone is still in the stage of being penniless. And Daniel, who is a little fat and the youngest, will inevitably become the object of everyone's care, after all, the role of the movie has been decided, and the competition between them is not fierce, and no one has thought about achieving anything with this mediocre work.
Daniel's impression of Paul Walker, the appearance of this future superstar is indeed sunny and positive, which makes people feel close.
Ellie needs to train in cheerleading dance, and the other boys are expected to be the main players of a first-class football team, and luckily almost everyone has thrown a football ball in high school, and the flow of the sport is simply jaw-dropping, and even he himself has joined a team in the first place, and he happens to be a guard.
As for James and Paul, the two are the team's heroes.
Brian wasn't surprised, he had that in mind when he was casting, and now he's just doing some targeted training. For Daniel, though, there's a more important thing.
That's fattening!
