Chapter 11: Johnny Depp's Tricks
“fuuuck!” Daniel couldn't help but explode.
Does everything have to happen on the same day?
The last call came from Melissa.
The girl was indignant and deeply worried on the phone.
"Johnny is a surprising bastard."
Melissa brought the last and biggest bad news of the night.
She overhears Tracy and Johnny's conversation, and the subject is him, Daniel Sandler.
It's a great honor.
I don't know who leaked the news that Daniel was going to be signed by Tracy to Johnny Depp, of course, there are too many people who want to pass the news on him.
Johnny hurriedly made a special trip to Tracy for dinner, and the restaurant was also improvised.
And what a coincidence is that there is still Melissa sitting in that not-so-lively Japanese restaurant.
"Johnny, I can't imagine you're repulsive to a newcomer?"
"Generally, no." Johnny, the Hollywood personality, doesn't seem to be very personal at this time, "But this time it's different, Tracy, you know the situation I'm facing best, "Edward" has a good review, but the few movies I've made in the past few years have not been prominent at the box office, and this is Hollywood, and it's a joke that A-grade actors who can't make money." Now I need you to help me wholeheartedly, not to pick up another young man with a bright future, like Leonardo DiCaprio. Tracy, you're my only agent, and when Gwyneth's affair is over, I want you to do your best to help me choose a movie that will be a 100% hit. ”
"That young man, I saw his picture, no less than Brad Pitt, it's not surprising that you're tempting, but you have to make a choice, and so do I. Tracy, we've worked well together over the years, and I hope this relationship lasts. ”
A long silence ensued, Melissa's salmon sushi roll to her mouth and lingering into her stomach.
"Alright, alright, Johnny."
Melissa felt that it had taken the best perseverance of her life to hold back her silence.
Tracy actually compromised.
"Tracy, you don't have to worry too much, Daniel, right, Daniel is still so young, even if it is a few more years, it doesn't matter. Sign him and let him hone in Hollywood for a few years, and he'll be thankful for those years. ”
"Yes, he does have great talent, Johnny, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have agreed to lag Daniel's development."
"Of course, I know, Tracy, we've always been the best mates, haven't we?"
Then they talked about the production list in their hands, which said the recent plans of the major studios, there are not many great works suitable for an actor of Johnny's level, and he must hurry.
"I'm so ashamed of her," Melissa was clearly young and vigorous, "Daniel, she even intended to cheat on you and then delay your time. ”
Daniel was lying on the couch, already a little out of strength.
This really caught him by surprise.
He had imagined too many situations, such as a very harsh contract, such as a male boss at UTA with a different hobby, but he really didn't expect the resistance to come from Johnny Depp.
You must know that the Hollywood superstar has countless fans in China, and although "Pirates of the Caribbean" is worse than the other, the number of people who love him has not decreased. So, Daniel never thought that he would reject himself.
One is an A-level big star, and the other is a newcomer who has just made an unsightly small movie.
"Thank you, Melissa, for making me think about it."
"Daniel, you should reject Tracy, I'm going to fire her too, I really can't imagine that she is this kind of person."
"Merry, what are you talking nonsense?" An older voice on the other end of the line stopped Melissa from venting further.
Daniel thought it was Drake Lane.
Hanging up Melissa's phone, Daniel completely lost his sleepiness.
Draco would teach Melissa what reality was, and he was directly educated by reality.
In life, there is really no good thing that goes smoothly.
Until the next morning, Daniel's mind was still hovering over the pros and cons of the two options. He suppressed the anger of these unnecessary feelings.
If he still chooses UTA's Tracy, then at least until "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released, he will only be able to receive some inconsequential roles, and this is a full four years. And since then, Johnny has become famous, and Tracy has not forgotten about him, and he may be able to use their east wind to start his own real acting career. The question, then, is whether it makes sense to spend four years in exchange for the support of Tracy and Johnny in the future.
It's not an unbelievable deal. After "Pirates of the Caribbean", Johnny has already secured his status as a super A-level actor, and Tracy will naturally rise to the top. The resources in their hands can fully feed Daniel. And that's enough to attract the vast majority of Hollywood actors.
Four years is indeed not short, but what can I be nostalgic for in the four years of inaction? In exchange for an opportunity, who can say that it is not worth it?
If he doesn't choose Tracy, then he must quickly find another agent, as Michael said, his conditions are really good, and Tracy must be more than the only one who wants to sign him. However, who can guarantee that the new candidate will fully support him? Johnny will put pressure on Tracy, and those actors who are not as good as Johnny will probably feel his threat even more.
And, without Tracy, he's even farther away from "Pirates of the Caribbean", Johnny is the starring actor and the soul of the whole movie, and he may not be able to decide who will play Will Turner, but he can definitely veto anyone.
Daniel was truly confused.
He wanted to talk to someone, but David was clearly not the right person, and neither was Mark, who was only interested in code. James? Paul? Or Ellie Rattle, who had just cried with him.
None of them fit.
The candidate in my mind turned around twice, and finally settled on Michael Tollin's name.
Well, Daniel can't deny that he's hoping to get another chance from Michael's connections, and if it's good enough, then leaving Tracy isn't a big deal, is it?
"Ahh
Once again, Daniel threw himself on his big pillow, and it turned the world upside down overnight. Before returning home, he was a promising young actor who had a smooth road and could control himself in the face of blonde girls, but now, he has become a Hollywood drifter with an uncertain future and no landing.
Let me see if the neighbor across the street is out of the house, Daniel thought.
