"Fast and Furious"?

Daniel probably remembers that the film seems to have been released in 2001, so it should be just right to launch at this time.

He had some special affection for the film, and when he was shooting a new film in the black coal kiln in Shanxi, the seventh installment of the series was taking the renminbi by storm. And Paul Walker, whether he is remembered by the crew, or that the distributor uses his value to the limit. He made his final contribution to the film that made him a superstar.

"Fast and Furious" made Paul, but it also seemed to limit him, and apart from this series, Paul has few other works that are remembered.

"Urban racing movies, it just sounds cool."

"Indeed, and if the response is good, the company wants to make a series."

There is a big-selling commercial series, which is the envy of everyone in Hollywood, and the continuous fame and money will not fall, as long as the series does not fall, you will never have to worry about running out of food, nor do you have to worry about the coffee seat dropping.

"Are you worried that the movie is being questioned for encouraging drag racers?"

"That's what the bosses should think about," he said, motioning to the boss to add a drink, "we just need to get paid and make a good movie." ”

A lucky boy who doesn't have to worry about it.

"How are you? Why did you suddenly think of asking me for a drink? Paul took his chin and nodded Daniel's glass, "A little kid who drinks soda asks me for a drink." ”

After saying that, he couldn't stop laughing to himself.

"No, it's just that I've been a little nervous lately, and I want to find a friend to talk to casually, but unfortunately it's a pity that it's just you hanging out in Los Angeles."

"Oh, you're not welcome."

……

Meeting up with friends really helped to soothe the feelings, and Daniel forgot about tomorrow morning's report.

But back to his rented house, oh, Kusa has been too busy lately, and the change of house has stopped for the time being, and he still lives in the same place.

Only occasionally a neighbor will knock on the door, just hoping that he can help introduce some opportunities.

Come to think of it, Daniel considers himself lucky, at least for 20-year-old Daniel Sandler.

The Los Angeles Times report arrived as promised.

"Looks like you've really sold a lot of money on Jones." Daniel was a little dumbfounded when he saw the interview, which took up half of the second edition.

"The new Rivan Phoenix, or the next Leonardo DiCaprio? - Interview with "Billy" Daniel Sandler

Daniel Sandler, the new Hollywood icon and sexy boy with a perfect face and body, has recently been confirmed to be favored by Peter Jackson for the role of the Elf Prince in Peter's seven-year-old magical masterpiece The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. "School Blues" has grossed more than $60 million at the latest box office, and a rising Hollywood star is impossible for anyone to ignore. ”

This is the introduction to the report.

"Where did she get the try-on photos?"

In the middle of the report, in addition to his photo, there is also a makeup trial photo of Legolas.

The ethereal elven prince, and his own photographs complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye.

But Daniel's first reaction was whether Peter would be unhappy.

"Don't worry, Jones got the picture from Francis." Kusa was also a little confused, "I really didn't expect that she and Francis actually had a good relationship, but I can only say that Hollywood's relationship is too complicated." ”

A relieved Daniel has no intention of discussing his new relationship with Kusa.

"Throughout the 90s, the only young people who exuded more brilliance than Sandler were Leonardo, who had just broken into the 20 million club, and only Rivan Phoenix, who died young. This newspaper is very curious about the future of this young man who has risen like a comet and is familiar to the whole of America, like Raven, who will eventually fall suddenly due to drug overdose and depression, or whether he will become the new spokesman for Hollywood's dreams like Leonardo. ”

It was Jones's opinion to bring Leonardo in, and the news that was now in full swing and had his name on it could sell a few more copies.

But Jones remained true to the designs of both sides.

Unexpectedly, in the interview, Daniel Sandler said that his idol is Rivan Phoenix, because Rivan has a special temperament that is different from ordinary people, although he is withdrawn, depressed and ingested toxic drugs, and is considered by many parents to be a bad example, his outstanding talent and talent in art are overwhelming. As for Leonardo, Daniel's response was much more official, saying that he admired DiCaprio's acting skills very much, and considered him one of the best actors in Hollywood and the greatest young idol. ”

The subtitle of this little paragraph is "Daniel Loves Bad Boys More"!

Then there was a large Q&A-style topic that covered almost all of everyone's curiosity about Daniel.

"When did you decide you wanted to be in this business?"

"I think I came to Los Angeles after Christmas last year."

"Wouldn't it be a little uncomfortable to achieve such a high achievement in half a year? Is it much different from my previous life? ”

"Actually, thank you so much to Brian and Michael, and of course I don't mean to say Oscar thanks, but really thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. You know, I was really just a fat kid at the time, and if it wasn't for them putting me in School Blues, it's hard to imagine that I'd be where I am now. As for the difference from my previous life, it's not too big, I'm still living in the original rented house, $500 a month, and there are no paparazzi interested in me, haha. ”

"Ah, those big stars must be envious of you. So can you talk about "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy"? You play Legolas in it, and your appearance is really amazing. ”

"Perhaps, but I also envy them very much, to be able to have amazing performing arts and good works. The Lord of the Rings was an opportunity I just got this year, Peter auditioned for me, and then we all agreed on the role, so it was a no-brainer to get the role. In terms of appearance, thank you for the compliment, Legolas is a charming elven prince in the script, so they do a very good look, and they are also very beautiful. ”

"Do you have a Hollywood idol? Just like a normal high school student. ”

"Haha, of course, half a year ago I was just an ordinary person, and I respect a lot of Hollywood actors, they are all very good. If you're talking about idols, I don't know if you remember Rivan Phoenix, but as sad as he was, I was captivated by his superb performance in My Private Idaho. ”

"Ravan Phoenix? It's a bit of a surprise, but of course he was a genius, and in fact, some people used to think of him as the best young actor in the 90s. But alas, he ended up addicted to drugs and was depressed, you know, and that wasn't a positive example. So, what do you think of Leonardo DiCaprio? ”

"Ruifan is not a good idol, and parents don't want their children to be like him, but I think his unique temperament, aura and talent in performance are amazing. Mr. DiCaprio, I know he has a lot of excellent work, and he is certainly one of the best actors in Hollywood, the idol who fascinates young people the most. ”

……

WME building.

Philip's assistant kept the main news on his desk, and he didn't have time to read it, but as the Internet became more popular, people communicated more frequently and more influentiously, so he looked at the forums every day. In particular, the websites of major newspapers and weeklies such as The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and People, as well as the public edition of IMDB, etc.

Of course he was very busy, just hurriedly flipping through it. Meaningful content, the assistant will be ready for him.

"Los Angeles Times - New Interview with Daniel Sandler!!"

A post on the public board received a lot of attention and clicks, and Philip was already in the driver's seat, clicking on the post with a sense of superiority over the loser.

The post is, of course, only a small part of it.

But this has already made Philip furious.

"Damn it!"

He scrambled to find the Los Angeles Times from his desk, and quickly saw an interview with Daniel Sandler, which took up half of the page, and the words "Rivan Phoenix" in large bold letters.

Philip was a little dizzy, it was a hypoglycemic episode.

"Despicable and shameless."

Sitting down in his chair, he clicked on the discussion on the public board again.

Sure enough, because Daniel became known from two photos on IMDB, a large number of people interested in Daniel gathered on IMDB.

Information about the interview quickly spread.

Philip even saw such a comment.

"It's okay to be faithful to the show, but Daniel, don't let the stain on Rivan."

"Ruifan, it was indeed very popular at the beginning, but unfortunately it went astray."

Philip realized that the problem was serious, but he deserved to be Hollywood's top agent, and he immediately called the crew of "Gladiator", hoping to sign a contract as soon as possible, because Jackie had a foreign itinerary.

Unfortunately, he was doomed to make a mistake, and when Draco asked Ridley to wait, Ridley was still very curious, but did not refute his old friend's face again.

This time, Philip's rush to sign made him realize that things had changed.

He quickly got people informed.

Thanks to the Internet and everyone's attention to Daniel, by the afternoon, the information about this interview has spread to a very wide range of Cheng Dù, and even extended to the idol controversy, although Daniel praised Leonardo in the interview, but his statement that Rivan is his idol still angered some Leonardo's fans, they have no position to blame Daniel, after all, you can't ask everyone to see Leonardo as an idol, but they enumerate the characteristics that an idol should have, It is used to prove that Ruifan is not enough to become an idol of young people. Leonardo's fans far outnumbered Daniel and Rivan's, and even a part of them was enough to turn things in the direction Daniel and Cussa wanted.

So when Ridley got the materials, it was already a state of affairs.

The propaganda value of Rivan Phoenix has been completely destroyed, and many young people who have no impression of Rivan have already had a preconceived negative impression after this incident.

And Daniel's online popularity in this news also surprised Ridley.

John Rogan, the screenwriter of "Gladiator," happened to be at Ridley's studio, took the material from him and looked at it, "Now, Ridley, it's all back to you." ”

Indeed, so far, neither the Globe nor the people invited by Philip have been in a position to express their attitudes anymore.

Now it's up to Ridley to decide.

This is one of the reasons why Daniel is sure that Ridley will not be too angry, after all, the initiative did not fall into Daniel's hands in the end, but was returned to Ridley.

Ridley smiled and instead of calling Kusa and Daniel, he called Draco.

"How's it going, old friend?"

"Draco, don't say you don't know about it."

"You don't sound angry." Draco shook his head and refused to sugaren Melissa's coffee, his daughter who had been grounded during this time.

Ridley laughed at the other end, "Why be angry, it's not a great deal. Let Daniel come on, let's talk. ”

"Danny has hope?"

"There is more than hope, he really did it." Draco was also a little amazed, he knew how Daniel and Kusa had survived.

When he received Draco's call, Daniel was also flipping through the news.

He kept a close eye on the situation until Leonardo's fans got involved, and he was basically sure that at least the effect of this plan had been achieved, and then it was Ridley's inner time, and he really couldn't do anything about it.

Picked up the phone, uh-huh, ahhh

Daniel put down the earpiece and froze there for a moment, then let out a long breath before finally looking at Kusa and licking his somewhat dry lips.

"Kusa—"

"Huh?"

"We made it!"

"What?"

Kusa subconsciously asked, and then his eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say?" Is it Ridley's call? ”

"No, no, it's Draco's, Ridley told us to find him tomorrow morning."

"Oh oh oh oh, fuuuck, Daniel, Daniel. fuuuuck！ ”

Kusa walked around the room.

"We did it!"

"Yes, Kusa, we did. Commerdius belongs to us. ”

As they thought, early the next morning, Daniel and Kusa arrived at Ridley's studio, where Ridley himself received them personally, and there was little disagreement between the two sides, even on such an important amount as pay, Cusa did not say anything.

Of course, Ridley's offer was so generous that it shocked Kusa.

$1,000,000!

This is the price they prepared for the first villain, in fact, if Daniel had been set at the beginning, there would definitely not have been this price, but after all these twists and turns, Walt and Ridley have no intention of adjusting the salary anymore.

This price is certainly not high for the A-level system with an investment of more than 100 million yuan.

In fact, Paul Walker's "Fast and Furious", which invested no more than 40 million, cost more than 3 million.

This is related to the fact that he is the soul starring, but it can also be seen where the price of a popular actor should be.

However, Kusa and Daniel are content enough to thank God.

God knows, they only received $70,000 for "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy."

That even intermittently asked him to shoot for a year.

Ridley and them have tentatively finalized the time to enter the group, and they still have a lot of training, Russell Crowe has to prepare a little more, but Daniel is not easy, at least the training in riding, fighting, etiquette and other training is indispensable.

However, the shooting plan is only four months, because the preliminary preparations are very thorough, including the layout of a miniature Roman city in Malta, the filming arrangements in the Colosseum in Italy, etc., will be prepared before the start of filming.

Of course, this is good news for Daniel, who will be in New Zealand in December to join the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", which gives him more time.

……

Ridley was quick enough this time.

Philip didn't even have time to think about anything else, and the contract had already been signed.

Daniel Sandler is officially part of the crew of "Gladiator".

It was a setback that I hadn't experienced in a long time.

And because of the time and effort that Ridley spent on this role, everyone paid a lot of attention to this role.

This is Ridley's Oscar-winning work, and it can't be overstated how much attention he has given to his friends or foes.

Daniel Sandler.

For the first time, the real bigwigs of the circle paid attention to this fast-rising young New Yorker.

The important male supporting actor of the A-level system zuò is enough to enter the group of people in the center of Hollywood.

Moreover, he also has a role in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

The rise of this young man caught people off guard.

Ridley even received several phone calls to him about why Daniel ended up getting the role.

With his acting art, satisfying acting attitude, character fit, and even depth of thought, Ridley almost spares no effort to praise Daniel. For him, he didn't lie, all the descriptions he described were Daniel's table, his performance doesn't need to be said, the in-depth study of the history of the Roman Empire and the biographies of the characters is enough to explain his attitude, as for the fit of the role, it is a feeling, often one with the acting, and in the email exchanges between you and me, the depth of Daniel's thoughts really surprised Ridley.

It's not like a twenty-year-old young man, but like a middle-aged person who has been through a lot.

But in this way, those who heard the news from Ridley were even more surprised, and Ridley was certainly not a man of his own words, which meant that a new potential idol had appeared in Hollywood.

In Hollywood, it's often just one character, and the results are very different. Before, Daniel, even though he was very popular on the Internet, could not get into the eyes of big shots. But as soon as he took over the role of Commodius, he was immediately noticed by these people.

This news is like an atomic bomb in his narrow circle of friends.

Blow everyone up.
