A lot of people in the audience were talking about Daniel, there were big-name actors like Brad, and there were also some directors.

Including the famous director - Robert Zemeckis, "Forrest Gump" made him to the top of Hollywood, which can be said to be a model of both box office and awards, five years later, the momentum has not waned. At the end of this year, he and Tom Hanks collaborated again on "Desert Island", which is also considered a serious contender for the annual box office title.

He, along with Steven and Lucas, were the real promoters of the short film competition, and in addition to reserving talent for the USC department, it was also an important way for them to make an impact.

Who but them?

Well, that's power.

In a conversation with Ron Meyer, Zemeckis spoke of Daniel, a global executive — who was previously one of the five founding members of CAA's brokerage firm. Compared with the tragic urging of Michael Ovitz, another more powerful founder, Meyer's development around the world can be described as smooth.

"He's a boy with amazing talent, and Hanks wasn't so dazzling when he was younger." Zemeckis saw Daniel who was talking and laughing with Jessica, "I watched the rough cut of 'Gladiator', and Scott did come prepared this time. ”

Meyer, a global executive, was naturally happy to hear Zemeckis's compliment.

"The company also has high hopes for the film, and Daniel's performance in it is perfect." Meyer naturally knows that the outside world is waiting for the release of "Gladiator", and some of them just want to see if Daniel has the potential to become a superstar, or if he is a fake star created purely by promotion. And people like Zemeckis and Meyer, if they were interested, would have been able to learn about Daniel's cousin.

Now the focus is on whether a good performance can have good results, such as the box office, such as the scores of film critics, and the harvest of awards season.

"Seeing young people so good gives people a lot of confidence in the future of Hollywood." Zemeckis said another word that showed his identity, closing the Daniel topic.

……

Johnson left first, and as the only Chinese contestant, he had the opportunity to speak at the kick-off meeting that he was waiting for, so he had to go to the Staples Center to get some preparations. Daniel and Jessica passed the time without saying a word.

"You're perfunctory." When Daniel asks Jessica to repeat it again, Jessica finally goes berserk.

His mind was a little difficult to concentrate, and his activities were too boring.

Daniel looked at her apologetically, "It's hard for me to lift my spirits for a girl I can't date. ”

Jessica couldn't laugh or cry, but she couldn't just be beaten so easily, "Why do you think you can't make an appointment?" You know that you are now a superstar in Hollywood, and you have been in the newspapers every day for the past few months. ”

"Is your date conditional on the amount of media coverage?" Daniel's eyes seemed to light up, "Counting the negatives, I still seem to be very promising, so girl, are you free at night?" ”

"No, sir!"

"I knew it was so." Daniel reverted to his dying appearance.

"I really should show Casey what you look like. She knew that Hollywood stars were not what she imagined. Jessica pouted.

"Can Catherine come with us for dinner, is she in Los Angeles if she wills?"

"She's probably going crazy with joy."

"Then you're going to prove that it has nothing to do with me."

Daniel nodded with a few people behind the scenes who didn't know him by mistake, just in time to see Johnny Depp who was looking away.

Jessica was unaware of any of this, "That's not going to work, you're going to be fully responsible." ”

"You're not an impartial judge."

"Thanks for the compliment."

The tacit conversation between the two people made this boring activity not so difficult, and they were about to cooperate, but they were not afraid of the media reporters present, and they could even wave their hands generously.

……

At the Staples Center, USC students, participating stars and the Federation's big directors, as well as other invited bigwigs sat below.

Steven, Robert and Lucas took the stage to give short speeches, and the three of them performed their own duties, and Steven said that the film industry practitioners came and went to show the majestic vitality and attractiveness of this industry. Focusing on the profession, Robert talked about the rich connotation and profound significance of film art, and praised the baptism and enlightenment of the students, while Lucas started from creativity and imagination, he encouraged every young person to give full play to their own personality and imprint the film with a unique imprint.

The speeches of these three celebrities naturally attracted bursts of applause, especially the rookies of USC, among whom the film and television academy are all gearing up to conquer the world.

They were followed by actors, the popular Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts took the stage to speak, and they spoke even shorter, which was the requirement of the Federation, and the actors were too dazzling, and the students from other houses, most of them, were coming for them, and if they spoke too long, they might be noisy.

The two could only simply show their support for the event, acknowledging that it was full of meaning.

Finally, and the one that took up the longest time in the entire kick-off meeting, was the speech of the four student directors.

Jossen Zhu is the third, with a Jew and a white man in front of him, and a girl after Jossen.

The federation has taken great pains in selecting candidates.

The Jewish boy is filming a story about money worship -- as if to dispel the myth that Jews love money more than life. Daniel saw him speak passionately about the glorious traditions of the Jews, and then threw his script aside.

"In China, such a speech can't be staged at all, and the college entrance examination essay is simply a zero score, and the off-topic is too strict." Daniel muttered alone, and Jessica wasn't listening, so she was drawn to his whispers.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, he's off topic, it's not a Jewish rally."

"Not necessarily, there will be a lot of Jews in the jury."

Daniel opened his mouth, he still thought people were too naïve, there was obviously a master behind this child.

However, Jessica's eyes are also really sharp enough.

He couldn't help but pay attention to look at this blonde sweetheart, with deep eye sockets, and his gaze moved downward, well, not small.

Blonde waves equals stupidity, and the equation may not apply to her very well.

The Jewish kid's speech was over, and the white kid was Brad Pitt's knowledgeable companion.

The theme of his play is patriotism, the story of veterans' nostalgia for the battlefield, which is a very correct topic.

Behind him was Joe Sen, and Daniel sat up in good spirits, his eyes scanning the seat, only to see that many people began to turn their heads sideways to communicate with people.

It seems to be a break for them.

Glancing at Jessica, the young man's eyes lit up.

"My short film, which tells the story of the cultural differences between the East and the West, has no particular thematic orientation."

Daniel heard someone laughing, and compared to the first two well-prepared speeches, Jossen's opening remarks were clearly a bit amateurish, and no one would say that the subject of his short film was unknown.

"Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't have a core, I hope to use this story to show that the influence of blood and skin color on us is deep-rooted, but they are not invincible, in the short film we can only use tangible medicine, and in life, we should give medicine to our souls."

Jossen is a decent person, and he has his own understanding of the script, which is perhaps what he has always wanted to express.

The final girl theme is also very girly - girls in love, and it explores the topics of freedom and indulgence.

Overall, the four delegates are tall enough.

Jews and money worship, patriotism and GIs, racial reconciliation, free thinking – all these are the topics that Hollywood's great directors have to weigh.

"It's all a bunch of arrogant kids."

"They're all older than you and me. I am dreaming of taking this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, and of course I can use as much force as I can. ”

"I'm going to be very strong, too." Daniel looked at Jessica, who was a year younger than him, and looked serious, and couldn't help but say something. Then Jessica quickly turned her head to look at the stage in her shocked eyes.

Hiss, a sharp pain in the waist, or sue him that a woman can't be provoked.

Tables are now being set up on stage, and the sixteen student directors will sign contracts with investors and main actors - more symbolic, since they want to do it, of course, they will do the whole set. Daniel had read the contract and could barely find a single one that had the force of law.

It was Universal Pictures that gave Jossen 300,000 yuan in funding, and Ron Mayer was there in person, so it can't be said that he didn't give face to these big directors.

Jossen Chu, Daniel Sandler, Jessica Alba, and Ron Meyer signed contracts and held them up for a photo – just as stupid as in the news, of course.

This was not evident from the smiling expressions of the four men.

Their crew, except for Ron Mayer, who is not one of them, is indeed too young.

The flashing lights of the media are much more diligent than the other crews, but no one thinks it's a good thing.

Johnny Depp, who had just made eye contact with Daniel, couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, he understood that the media would give Daniel a lot of space tomorrow, let's fry it, the higher you hold it, the worse it falls.

The news he hears about Daniel is generally not very pleasant - Daniel, for example, has just signed "Spy Heavy" for five million, and the source is Tracy's executive acquaintances at Globe. Five million, this young man who has just arrived in Hollywood for less than two years, can already get five million.

Hollywood is getting more and more unreasonable.

If he's the owner of a production company and offers more than a million, he'll let Daniel get out of the way with his resume.
