Starting tomorrow, the leading actors will be finished one after another.

Daniel still has two days left, and when he passes the actor's trailer, Ellie looks intently at the script, which is supposed to be her last scene in the movie, and she has words and sometimes waves her slender right arm, and she is the only one in the trailer, and Ellie, who is immersed in the character's speculation, has no idea about Daniel. Until Amy rushed over in a hurry. She looked up, surprised and then gave Daniel a shy smile.

"It's great."

Ellie's cheeks flushed slightly, "Thanks, I just wanted to be better." ”

The five young people have never had tens of millions of movie shooting experience before, so at Ellie's farewell lunch banquet, Amy claimed that she was ** again, and she was determined to remember this moment forever.

Two days later, Bryan gifted him Daniel's plus-size jersey with the Timberwolves as a memento.

Daniel has quit his job at a hot dog shop, and the owner hasn't given him a roll of his eyes, and it's always a blessing for young people who come to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams to have a chance.

Melissa has been in contact with him recently, and according to her, "Daniel, although your acting talent is amazing, the success of an actor or star is also closely related to his appearance and figure. ”

In other words, Melissa hopes that he will meet Tracy again after losing weight, and as an assistant agent, she certainly hopes that the person she likes can be appreciated by Tracy, and this is not only about her vision, but also about direct interests. But in previous communications, Tracy questioned Daniel's physical condition a lot.

"Melissa, I don't doubt your vision, he may be talented in acting, but how important is appearance for young people, I don't need to tell you more, right?"

"Daniel wasn't this fat all the time, he just gained weight for the role, and he's going to lose weight quickly after the shoot, Tracy."

Tracy glanced at Daniel's picture and rendition clip, which Brian gave Melissa with extrajudicial kindness, "Okay, okay, Melissa, then wait for him to lose weight, let's talk about it?" As long as he is not so sorry for the American people, I promise to sign him and give it to you. ”

Melissa has a special status in Tracy's team, which has a lot to do with her father, Drake Lane is a well-known Hollywood film editor, who has won two Oscars for Best Picture Editing, and has many friends in the circle. Tracy's important long-time client, Harris Ford, a young action superstar, has a close relationship with Delac.

After the end of "School Blues", Daniel threw himself into the inhumane weight loss, fortunately, the talent of this body is not bad, he gained 43 pounds in a short period of time, and now in less than a month, Daniel's weight has lost 177 pounds. Maybe it's the oriental blood in his body, Daniel's muscles are smooth but not exaggerated, the deltoid muscles of his shoulders are down, the chest and abdominal muscles are like water waves, natural and smooth, and the vest line is clear and sexy. With a height of nearly 5.6 meters, light wheat-colored skin, and this body of muscles, it looks like a fine porcelain in the halo of the gym.

Tomorrow we're leaving for Beverly to meet Tracy for the last day of his intensive fitness workout.

His fitness trainer, Sith, is not well-known in Los Angeles and is of course very cheap, which he has to pay for himself. Daniel has thousands of dollars in savings, plus 10,000 checks from School Blues, and that's all he has is to survive, and he has to survive until the next time he gets paid for his job. Therefore, the high cost of personal training services, protein supplements, etc. are not related to him.

"It's hard to believe that people won't believe you're the same person as Daniel Sandler a month ago." Sith looked at Daniel in the mirror almost intoxicated, with deep dark blue eyes, delicate and highly recognizable face, and a charming figure, enviable height, "Danny, you are really the darling of heaven." ”

The Sith's eyes betrayed his heart, but Daniel had already declared his preferences.

……

The Oscars approached, and the whole of Beverly was filled with a tense and restless atmosphere.

The popularity of "Shakespeare's Love History" is tiresome, but the 13 nominations make it impossible to ignore, Gwyneth is already the most popular candidate, and the agent Tracy is of course very busy, and it is still the result of Melissa's insistence to find time to meet Daniel at this moment.

"Tracy, you're going to have to meet Daniel, oh my God, you're going to be amazed." Melissa still can't forget the shock she felt when she met Daniel again after a month.

She had almost forgotten the etiquette that a well-bred girl should follow, and she only cared about seeking like God.

"Oh my God, my God, my God, who are you? Are you Daniel? Daniel Sandler? ”

Although the changes are huge, it can still be seen that it is the same person, not to mention, it is not uncommon for fat people to become completely different after losing weight, you know, Daniel used to be a beautiful fat man, but he was spoiled by Brian as an overly obese high school student.

He had to watch Melissa slowly calm down with a smile on his face, and then his eyes lit up like a light bulb.

"I should have shown Tracy that she would have her eyes falling out. Oh my God, I'm lucky this time. The last sentence was clearly said to himself, but it was still heard by Daniel.

Daniel arrived at UTA's Los Angeles office in Beverly Hills at 10 a.m.

"You've only got thirty minutes, sir." Tracy's assistant, Miss Heidegger, said as she looked down and flipped through the calendar in her hand.

Daniel looked at Melissa who followed and repeated, "You only have thirty minutes." ”

Handsome guys' jokes can always amuse the beauty, Melissa smiled and gave him a roll of the eyes, "Hyde, I'll arrange it, you go and get busy." ”

Heidegger then looked up, "Okay, Merry, but don't overtime too much, or it will be troublesome." You know, Tracy has been so busy lately—oh."

As Tracy's assistant, Heidegger has seen too many handsome Hollywood men and women, but Daniel's face still makes her eyes shine.

"Melissa, you've found a good look." Hyde staggered past Melissa as he left, whispering.

Melissa was quite complacent, and knocked on Tracy's door triumphantly.

"Tracy, I'm Melissa."

"Please come in, did your little Daniel bring it?"

Melissa stepped out of the way, revealing Daniel, "Dangdang......

Daniel and Tracy's first meeting took place in the rumbling prelude to the Oscars, in the rare warm winter sun in Beverly, in Tracy's small but well-organized office.

Tracy was a middle-aged woman with meticulous makeup and a shrewd look, with short brown hair that just covered her ears, a pair of tortoiseshell-framed nearsighted glasses, her eyes behind the lenses were full of exploration, and she wore a white gold necklace around her neck, which seemed to hang something in front of her, but hid in the middle of the twin peaks hidden by the gray professional suit.

She is a very attractive woman.

"Hello, Tracy, I'm Daniel Sandler."

Daniel approached her desk with a proper smile and held out his hand.

Tracy's good professional habits made her subconsciously reach out and hold it, and then suddenly come back to her senses in Daniel's smile.

When there is too much gap between what they see and what they think, people will inevitably be a little caught off guard.

"Oh, I'm surprised, Melissa. Hello, Daniel. ”

Melissa happily poured a cup of coffee for both of them.

Tracy sat down again, she looked through Daniel's information for the first time, there were stills from "Campus Blues", as well as previous life photos, if the same face can be seen in the life photos, then the stills are completely two people.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Tracy had a bit of a headache, she hadn't been prepared enough before, and if Daniel was still as she had imagined, for Melissa's sake, it would be enough to give him a regular contract.

But now, a qiē is very different.

As a senior star agent, she has also watched Daniel's performance videos, and with the appearance conditions, she has stronger confidence in this young man's star journey.

Then you have to be careful.

"Hyde, Hyde, come in."

Tracy gave an apologetic smile, and Heidegger quickly pushed the door in.

"I'm sorry for me and Lyrell, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, and I have other arrangements."

"Okay, I see, do you have any other orders?"

"Help me bring it to the door, thank you."

Tracy turned back, "Daniel, Melissa got some clips from your "School Blues", and it is indeed very good, even against an Oscar-winning actor like Jon, but you have to understand that in Hollywood, acting alone is far from enough. Before today—"

Tracy waved her right hand in the air, "I mean, before I met you, your appearance made me basically not hope for you, and that's the truth, not just because you're fat, but from the obese young man, I don't see his yearning and madness for becoming a superstar, if you're fanatical enough, you should understand that you need to manage your body strictly." Around Beverly Hills, how many teenagers in Los Angeles have star dreams, each of them understands their dreams and works hard for them, and you, the original you, are not among them, you may not be able to control yourself at all, you will eat high-calorie food after nine o'clock every day, such a person, it is impossible to succeed. ”

Daniel listened quietly, nodding his head in approval.

"There are so many people in the United States, and there are not a few who have acting talent, but not all of them can become Hollywood stars, at least the star's coffee position and salary are not ranked according to talent. What's more important is self-management, a star, especially a Hollywood star, has a lot to give on the road to fame, you know what I mean? ”

Tracy seldom had such a heart-to-heart with a young man, and sometimes these well-off young people needed to be accommodated to their fragile hearts, but through the look in Daniel's eyes, she concluded that this was a mature young man, even though he was only eighteen years old, or nineteen?

Daniel picked up his coffee and held it in his palm, "I'd appreciate it more if you could be a little more specific." ”

"Okay, okay," Tracy glanced at Melissa, "Merry, I'm sorry, can you go out first?" ”

Melissa is not dissatisfied, this is the rule of the industry, and even in a sense this is an honor, as an assistant agent, the more attention she discovers to the candidates, the more she has the right to speak in the big agent, and when she is a certain Cheng dù, she can become an exclusive agent of an A-level big coffee, expand her network in continuous contact with the outside world, and finally become a big agent. That's their trajectory.

Squeezing a glance at Daniel, Melissa left and returned to her office, where she was engaged in the day-to-day affairs of Tracy's clients, and was invited by Michael to see the new actors, at best.

There were only two people left in the office.

"Daniel, you give me a sense of maturity beyond my years, so I will say everything I can to you, this is my working principle, I don't want to have conflicts between us because of poor communication if I have the opportunity to work together."

"Yes, I understand."

"The big Hollywood stars you see, at least still active, almost all, it's not an exaggeration, almost all of them are completely different from what they appear to be, or concealment, or deception, or unscrupulous for the sake of success, or low-minded, a racist, no matter how glamorous they are in public, behind the scenes. You know, if you're going to be a Hollywood star, you're going to be one of them, and you're going to be a fake partner for life? ”

Daniel was silent for a moment, finally giving up covering up for his soul, "I'm not surprised, and I don't feel disgusted. ”

"Good, at least you don't have to feel guilty about yourself."

"The above is the first point, which means that you can be healthy, and of course at the moment, it seems that you can work your way up in this circle in a healthy way without worrying about self-collapse. In addition, there is a second one, agent, what is the definition of an agent, although I don't want to say that, but the fact is that whether it's you, or Johnny Depp, a Hollywood star is a commodity in a sense, and an agent is the person who decides how to build, promote, and sell this commodity, and in this process, the agent's management of you is comprehensive, from what you eat and wear, to what you get married and have children. You need to make sure that you can accept this kind of management. ”

"But the returns are also very impressive, Beverley's average annual income is no more than 60,000 US dollars, but a B-class star, the annual income is in millions, as for the higher level, such as Johnny, private islands, yachts, luxury parties, you can think of any kind of enjoyment can come true."

Tracy is like Satan, her words are full of darkness and temptation. Daniel, if he had only been a teenager, might have been terrified or drunk. But now Daniel is mature and sensible, and Tracy is not wrong, Hollywood is fair in a sense, pay and then get in return, regardless of whether the deal follows universal values and ethics, but it at least abides by the rules of the scales, and both sides are equally weighted.

But to say that entering Hollywood is like depravity, and you still have a lot of options, just what everyone wants.

"Tracy, I think I get it," Daniel said, "I want to be successful in Hollywood, and I don't know if it's money or fame, but it doesn't matter, I just know what I need to do, don't I?" I will follow your arrangement. Of course, there are times when I want to express my opinion, but I don't just want to go my own way. ”

"We're going to have a solution because our goal is the same, aren't we?"

Tracy was noncommittal, never set foot in that environment, and could never feel it firsthand. But at least they have now come to a consensus.

"If you don't have any doubts, I'll be able to draft the contract right away."

"Of course." -- Ask for collection and recommendation, the book has been signed --
