"Hey, Jossen, I'm not late." Daniel laughing and a somewhat nervous Joason? Zhu shook his hand.

Jossen was a little nervous, but still respectfully hugged Andy.

"Of course, you don't."

"Haha, you don't look like a director who will graduate from USC, look at Steven and Eastwood, they are all known for their 'brutality'."

Daniel's joke apparently put the directing student at ease, and he stretched his body.

"Daniel, I'm a little nervous."

"That's right, I thought you'd call me Mr. Sandler, oh, I think that's too bad, I'm used to following the director's orders, but what am I going to do with a director who always calls me sir."

"I think I see what you mean, thank you." Jossen said gratefully that Daniel was telling him, a director, you must be able to control the shooting scene, otherwise your producer, your cinematographer, your actors, will all snatch the power that belongs to you, and then you will fail.

"I once asked my agent, are you a second-generation or third-generation immigrant?"

"Both of my parents were born in China."

"Oh, second generation, have you ever been to China?"

"No, not yet."

Daniel understands a few words, according to Jossen, his script is a short film that discusses the differences and integration of East and West, which requires him to understand the real East, but the second generation of immigrants, and have never been to the East, may not be able to do it.

Jossen took out the script and gave it to Daniel.

The meeting between the two today is mainly for this script, and the acting must be acted, but everyone needs to cooperate seamlessly, and no one should be too individual.

"Silent Love"!

Two bold No. 2 letters are printed on the second page, and below it is written the screenwriter: Jon M. Chu, Jossen's full name.

"Can I ask your Chinese name?" There should be, right? ”

"Zhu Haowei."

"Zhu Haowei." Daniel repeated.

Qiao Sen was stunned, "Your Chinese pronunciation is really too standard." ”

Daniel smiled and began to flip through the script.

An hour later, he looked up.

The short film is very straightforward, it is about the gap between East and West, so he set up two female protagonists, one American and one Oriental, and the male protagonist is a mixed-race deaf pharmacist who works for an American pharmaceutical company.

He maintains both relationships at the same time, and the two women have never met because of their very different social circles.

Oriental girls are sexy and sociable, while American girls are conservative and cautious.

It's a bit deliberate, but it's interesting.

Everyone thinks that the East is synonymous with subtlety and conservatism, but not in the short film.

The male protagonist is always doing his job, he can't speak or hear.

But he haunted the ball with the Oriental girl, sent duì, and watched her with enthusiasm. He also snuggled silently with the American girl by the Hudson River at sunset.

Until one day, he smashed all the instruments, resigned from the company, and disappeared.

The two girls began dreaming that they were drinking water, drinks, and alcoholic beverages handed over by the man, one by one......

Along with this, girls from the East abandoned their traditions, while American girls restrained their nature, turning out that they were not born this way, but were "transformed" by men.

The two set out to search for the man, and following the clues, they found a discriminately discriminated underprivileged community, while the man was holding a dark, dirty little girl with a glass of water in his hand, ready to hand it to her.

This is not a big road script, it has its special meaning.

Jossen Zhu proved his mind.

"I approve of the script, it's really good."

Jossen was visibly relieved, apparently struggling with whether he would comply, or how far, if Daniel asked for a change.

Daniel had no intention of ruining Jossen's dreams, he just wanted to know the level of the script.

He's walking on shaved ice now.

"Thank goodness," Jossen patted his heart, "you don't know how scared I am. So the big day after tomorrow, will you come? ”

"Of course!"

The meeting that Qiao Sen said was the kick-off meeting of the short film competition, where the students and stars in the early stage would meet and talk about the script, and then a meeting was held by several big-name alumni, which was regarded as urging the big stars to face this matter seriously and arrange time to finish it in time.

Not all Hollywood actors will attend, and they may not have the time.

"Is your heroine confirmed?"

This is a big problem, the short film is designed to be 20 minutes long, and the two heroines have a lot of scenes.

"There's already one," Jossen glanced at Daniel, wondering if he had a choice of his own, "Jessica Alba, do you know her?" What do you think? ”

"Jessica plays Donna," Daniel imagined, the girl seemed to have a good upbringing, and should be the right person, "is she too beautiful to look at a deaf and dumb person?" ”

"Deaf people are too handsome, aren't they?" Joson made a little joke, "If Matthew looks like you, there will always be some privileges." ”

"What about Liqi Lee? Who are you going to go to? Lucy Liu? ”

In the aesthetic of Chinese, Lucy Liu is really not a beauty, but she is one of the most famous Chinese female stars in Hollywood.

"Do you think it's appropriate?" Jossen was a little hesitant, "I went to see her 'Breaking Bad' and I didn't think it was the one I wanted, so I didn't submit her to the federation as an option. ”

Daniel is not very familiar with Lucy, but by some preconceived impressions, she is not quite on the right path with Lizzie. Jossen needed a pure Oriental woman, but she also needed to have a convincing Western-style sensuality - most of the time, maybe fifteen minutes, or seventeen minutes, Liqi was an Oriental sexy stunner, and only in a few montages flashbacks was she a gentle and traditional Oriental woman. In the same way, Jessica's Donna is also a quiet blonde beauty most of the time, wild and sexy only in dreams.

"It's a bit difficult, we can think about it again, and we'll talk about it the day after tomorrow, but maybe we can go to the East and find a candidate."

"China?"

"Specifically, Hong Kong, or Taiwan."

This is a bit beyond imagination for Jossen.

"Let me look for it, you can also find some Hong Kong movies and Taiwanese movies to watch."

The conversation between the two ends here, and Qiao Sen still needs to do a lot of preparation before filming, because time is running out, and after the kick-off meeting the day after tomorrow, Daniel's itinerary is for the next week, that is, there are about nine days left.

……

Back at CAA, Daniel is still considering the right candidate for Liggie Lee, who is the right fit? The soon-to-be-released "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will contribute a new Chinese face to North American audiences - Zhang, if she is adopted, it may attract some additional attention, but Zhang is not quite suitable, Daniel shook his head, still rejecting the idea, after all, short films do not need to be released publicly, and the so-called attention is meaningless.

As for the other candidates, there are not too many Chinese actresses who can be sexy stunners, Shu? Now she is still an actress who mixes in three types of films.

It wasn't until his mind returned to Lucy Liu that he suddenly thought of someone.

MaggieQ！

Nikita's cosplayer!

This girl should be shooting commercials in Hong Kong now, but she will soon break into the film industry, and then be taken to Hollywood by CAA's discernment, participating in "Mission Impossible" and "Die Hard", and even starring in the drama "Nikita", compared to those actresses who play soy sauce in blockbuster movies, MaggieQ is simply the conscience of the industry.

She may be a good candidate, although she is not of Chinese descent, but in the eyes of Americans, the yellow race is about the same.

Daniel went to CAA, not to see Cussa, but Kevin, Kevin Golly.

Daniel can see his progress in the attitude of the CAA staff, who was treated like air when he first joined CAA, and now everyone smiles at him.

He was punctual, and Kevin was already waiting for him in the office, which was a good sign that they both valued each other.

"Danny, long time no see." Kevin enthusiastically stood up and hugged Daniel, "You're a busy man, Italy, Malta, England and then New Zealand, I really admire your energy." ”

"No way, who made me only have that little on the SAT, otherwise I can enjoy peace in the office." Daniel spread his hands helplessly.

Kevin was visibly amused, "No kidding, you don't know how many young people's dreams you have now." ”

Kevin deliberately slipped on it and got down to business.

Daniel was prepared.

In order to avoid relying too much on brokers, CAA has proposed two innovative initiatives.

One is the packaging service, CAA's customers include all the talents needed to produce a movie, directors, producers, actors, screenwriters, editors, lighting, etc., and even including the show, so when CAA has the most voice, its packaging service is notorious in Hollywood. If you have your eye on a certain director of CAA, then you have to use its actors, its editors, and so on. Production companies, including the directors themselves, lose a lot of power and creative territory.

Of course, this service is much more modest now, partly because the era of actors is over, and partly because the rise of competitors has weakened the CAA.

But until now, CAA's packaged services have attracted a large number of customers of all kinds - if you're not attractive, it's certainly worth looking forward to some opportunities with a packaged service.

In addition to the packaged service, another important move is the long brokerage.

CAA's big-name clients have multiple brokers, and now this has become the norm in Hollywood's brokerage industry, and the clients are also very smart, and there is competition and cooperation between multiple brokers, and the benefits for the clients are even more.

Kevin apparently thinks it's time to talk to Daniel about it.

"Daniel, you know, it's not about betrayal, and Kusa knows the rule perfectly. This is the way it works, and it's no different from if you need a broker. ”

"Yes, I understand, but Kevin, I still need to think about it, and now is not the time to discuss this, I don't have that many things to deal with because I'm not big enough." Daniel laughed at himself, relieving the slight tension.

"Cusa will be pleased, but he will tell him what you should do."

He's already found Daniel, so it's impossible to hide it from Kusa Damon.

It's always a painful time for every CAA agent who unearths a big star to go through.
