"He's still quite optimistic about the script, but he told me very honestly that he still lacks a little confidence in himself."

Daniel didn't know that Will was still such a straightforward person, but he was still very confident, because he starred in the original work, and it was nothing more than a condition to be changed.

"Well, I'll contact him, and you can go and do something else."

Raphael's expression relaxed, and it was clear that the employees of DD Pictures had a lot of confidence in their boss. In their opinion, Daniel himself should rarely be rejected.

Daniel personally invited! Personally!

As soon as he thought about it, Raphael's mind conjured up the sight of Will smiling and agreeing again and again—he was obviously thinking too much.

Looking at Raphael's back, Daniel was thinking about Will's thoughts, what he and Raphael said should be true, for Will, the transformation is very urgent, but it must be extremely cautious, and the choice of DD Pictures is a work, except for pinning on Daniel's "undefeated legend", there is really not much advantage. It's okay to talk about things like "never miss a shot", but when it comes to your own choices and future, few people can trust this so freely.

After thinking about it for a while, Daniel picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's Daniel over here. Sandler. ”

"Wow, am I dreaming, or are you a liar?"

A vivid and funny face appeared on Daniel's face, "Denzel, it's me, don't call the police." ”

"That's not going to work, Daniel called me, and if you don't call 911 for this kind of thing, you can only go to the FBI. Haha," Denzel. Washington laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Say, what's the matter?" Looking for me with a movie? I heard you guys have a project—"

Daniel's heart moved, "Crete. Did you see Gardner's story? ”

"......" Denzel paused there, of course he knew. In fact, the script was also handed to him, and if Denzel wanted to, he would pull it over and try the play without a piece of meat. Maybe it can provide some ideas for the producer, obviously not to Daniel's expectations, he doesn't think this role is suitable for him, but Daniel stumped him when he asked.

Daniel wasn't uncomfortable with him.

"Come on. Denzel, I know what you mean, Will, Will. Smith, we want to find him, but he's a little skeptical, so can you give Pull the Root Thread, I'll talk to him. ”

"No problem, but Daniel, that story. Do you really think Will is a good fit? Or it may not be impossible to find a new actor, anyway, your fame is big enough, as long as it is your investment, the theater chain will always buy it. Denzel was worried about him, after the two worked together in "Hotel Rwanda", their friendship was not very warm, but it is very strange that the relationship between Daniel and Denzel is better than that between Daniel and Russell. Crowe wanted to be more sincere, and the latter always made Daniel not particularly willing to open up. Advice to Denzel. Daniel is still grateful.

"I know, Will hasn't acted, but everyone has a first time, and. You have to try the play before you can see it, by the way, I'll bring the demo when the time comes, and you can help me take a look. ”

"No problem." Denzel was refreshed, "Oh yes, Daniel. Did you turn down that project from Universal? ”

Daniel knew what he was talking about.

Universal Pictures decided last year to make a gangster film, tentatively titled "Gangsters of America." Taken together, Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" is easily confused. This film is about a real person, a black drug lord named Lucas, a policeman named Richie, both of them are outliers, Lucas is a rare loyal and intelligent member of the gang, and Richie is a rare righteous man in the corrupt law enforcement team, and the battle of wits and courage between the two is the selling point of the movie.

This project was proposed in 04 by Denzel and Benicio. Delto signed a contract and is ready to join the group. Then Universal's budget suddenly went wrong and the project was stopped. What is particularly interesting is that Denzel and Benicio are not unknown, although Universal no longer makes this film, but the schedule has been set aside and the contract has been signed, and it is rumored that the two of them still get their own pay, Denzel 20 million, Benicio 4 million. However, Daniel doesn't believe that Universal must still ask for a discount, but it is estimated that it will pay a lot, otherwise it is impossible for Denzel to agree to continue to participate after the reboot of the film.

This film can be said to be ill-fated, after more than two years of preparation, Anthony . Foquin and Terry. George is a two-time director, starring from Denzel. Washington and Benicio. Delto, to Don. Cheadle and Joe. Delo.

Not long ago, Universal was determined to really restart the project, and just launched "Celestial Kingdom", but the response was not good. Scott became the latest director.

This time, the combination he proposed was Denzel. Washington and Daniel. Sandler, or Denzel and Russell. Crowe.

Both were his "confidants", and a gladiator made Daniel and Crow.

While Daniel seems a bit younger, his acting skills are enough to make this a little undetectable. However, Daniel still neatly rejected the project, the first one was that he was too busy, and there were already many projects next year, so he couldn't find time to participate. The second point is also because of Russell. Crowe seems to be more interested in this, he and Ridley have worked together recently, and there must be some tacit understanding, and there is no need for him to be involved.

Denzel is still very regretful, in "Rwanda Hotel", the two of them have no chance to play, because the reporter played by Daniel has basically become a background, this time it was a good opportunity, but it seems that fate has not arrived.

Hanging up Denzel's phone, Daniel didn't pause, and broadcast another one.

This time it's for Morgan. Freeman hit.

He knows that the relationship between the three top black stars is good, which is also normal, and it is human instinct to huddle together to keep warm, whether it is black, yellow or white.

The elder Freeman is a very righteous person, and the two have often been in contact after "The Impostor", this time he won the best supporting actor for "Million Dollar Baby", and before going on stage, he specially hugged Daniel, who was sitting in the front row. So for Daniel's request, he agreed in one bite.

Before Daniel came to the door, Will had two old friends at the front station.

So the first thing they said to him was that Will, "I thought the president of the black nation had come to my house." ”

"Your battle isn't grand enough."

Daniel looked at Jada, who was standing behind Will. Pinkett, and their children, Jaden. Smith and Vero. Smith smiled and waved at the little girl, who was just 5 years old.

Vero shyly hides behind his mother's back.

"Don't think she's always been like this." Jada brought Daniel in as she pulled her daughter out from behind.

"Don't say it, stop! Stop! ”

Vero suddenly screamed.

"She likes you so much, that's why she pretends to be shy, because your mom tells her that you like gentle girls, just like Jessica. Alba like that. ”

It's a pity that he lost the other, and his brother Jaden poured beans into a bamboo tube, which poured out Vero's youngest daughter's thoughts.

"Brother!"

The screams in this life are a little bit like Vero's usual appearance. But Jaden ignored her, they were two years apart, and the elder brother had not yet reached the age of pampering his sister, and now it was basically the stage of competing for favor.

"Daniel, your action in 'Spy' is so cool, my dad said you didn't use a stand-in. The swordsmanship in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also very handsome. ”

Looking at the little boy's excited eyes, Daniel suddenly remembered that this person seemed to love kung fu.

Will interrupted the excitement of the two children.

"Thanks," Jada brought over the coffee, "Will, have you changed your mind?" ”

"To be honest, I'm still hesitating, although I've already refused, but seriously, do you think I can?" Will was still very satisfied with the script, and the decision to refuse or agree to it was made immediately, but it was not so easy.

"I'll have to be honest with you, you can or can't, at least I can't say for sure until I audition, but I think Jaden should be able to handle the role of his son." Daniel turned his head to look at Jaden, "How about it, would you like to act in a new film?" ”

Jaden's screen debut was dedicated to Men in Black 2, but he hasn't acted in a movie since.

He turned his head to Jada, a family in which the heroine seemed to have a voice.

"You need to go to school."

"I don't think it's a problem to juggle it, and it's going to be a holiday, isn't it?"

Jada and Will are very conflicted in Jaden's training, on the one hand, they recognize him entering Hollywood, but at the same time, they are worried that it is not good for children to be exposed to Hollywood too early. This ambivalence also made them never allow him to go out to make movies since Jaden went to school.

Will watched Daniel kidnap his son and didn't speak, in fact, Daniel came to the door in person, and Will couldn't say it if he didn't go to the audition, he didn't say yes or no, he took the script and tried two scenes, giving each other a chance, it was not so difficult after all.

Watching his wife take the child away, Will's expression suddenly became serious.

"Daniel, I was happy when I heard that you were going to come to the door, it's a tough time for me and I'm going to have to take this step sooner or later, but it's really hard to choose."

"Will, I know it's a bit of a mouthful, but I still want to tell you that your possibilities are much more than what they are now, really, When Happiness Knocks on the Door will surprise you, believe me, I haven't looked away yet. I can't take a movie with an investment of 50 million as a child's play. ”

Will looked at him and told himself that it was Daniel. Sandler, a Hollywood legend, can be trusted.

"Okay." (To be continued.) )
