Chapter 164 Amanda · Seyfried
Driving to Jerry Bruckheimer's company, Daniel compared his own DD Films.
“Our renovations are a little more recent…”
It seems that's all.
As almost the most well-known producer in Hollywood, not necessarily the most profitable, Jerry's company has a very complete operating system because it has been tempered by many movies. DD Films, which is still half a grassroots team, really can't compare with him, but the goals of the two parties are not the same. Jerry is a producer company, while DD is an independent film studio.
"Burberry's?"
Jerry is wearing a Burberry striped polo today, and he looks a lot more energetic.
"You are really competent as a spokesperson."
"I just have a good eye."
The two chatted for a few words, and Daniel could see that Jerry wanted to say something. After thinking about it for a while, Daniel realized Jerry's heart. The two things I came to talk about today, among them, the matter of DD's stationing of a producer definitely does not require Jerry to intervene, and with Jerry's qualifications, DD can't come up with a producer candidate that can hinder him. Then only the heroine is left.
"Jerry, do you have something to say? Say it, no problem."
"Daniel, it's like this. Someone from ABC has proposed a candidate."
"ABC?"
Daniel frowned. He originally thought that Jerry had some kind of favor that he couldn't shirk, so he took it out and discussed it with him. But I didn't expect that it was recommended by someone from ABC, which can make Jerry embarrassed, at least a fairly high-level figure. But this is not a problem. ABC is too busy to take care of itself now. Its ratings in the United States are always hovering in the third or fourth place. "Pirates of the Caribbean" has no need to look at their face. But Hollywood is always intertwined - ABC is an industry owned by Disney, which is at the same level as Disney Pictures. Although the CEO of ABC cannot be compared with Robert Iger, with this relationship, it is difficult not to worry about it. arrive.
Could it be Keira Knightley? After Orlando stubbornly won the role of Will, Daniel has a considerable understanding of historical inertia. If it is said that Keira Knightley came back from killing, he even decided to apologize to Kusa, I am afraid that Scarlett will miscalculate this time.
"Her name is Amanda Seyfried."
"Who?" Daniel confirmed that he hadn't heard the name before, not in two lifetimes combined. "Uh, Seyfried? I don't really remember—Jerry, I mean, uh..."
Jerry shook his head, "It's not a descendant of a well-known family, it's a newcomer. Now it's starring in an ABC drama. I don't know why the other party pushes her like that. But it's rumored that this time it has something to do with you."
"What?"
This is really inexplicable.
"Amanda is your big movie fan, the other said."
Daniel's expression froze on his face, "This is really a high-end movie fan, so she plans to come and cooperate with me?"
"Basically that's it."
"Then I'm really curious, how did he convince the energy person you mentioned to sleep with him? Oh, by the way, how old is she?"
"Seventeen."
"My God, did you remind your friend?"
Jerry rubbed his swollen forehead, "It's not like that,
He just has some relationship with Amanda's family, like comrades-in-arms, classmates, etc., the relationship should not be shallow. He thinks that Amanda should take it step by step, after all, she is too young. But this time 'always well-behaved' - just what he said, and always well-behaved Amanda pleaded very forcefully for his help. "
"OK, I see, so, do you agree, or do you want to use my mouth to reject him. God, I don't know who he is. "
Jerry smiled at Daniel apologetically, "It's not suitable for me to know her. Although this role does not require much acting skills, it is not something that can be taken at an age, not to mention that he does not have the experience of Scarlett Johansson .”
"Cough cough cough..."
Daniel glanced at Jerry several times, and he wasn't quite sure whether Jerry had detected something or just mentioned it casually.
"Well, Scarlett? Do you like her?"
"Yes, this little girl will definitely shine in the future. Robert Redford has a movie called "The Horse Whisperer". I don't know if you have seen it. It's early."
"The Horse Whisperer, I know."
"The film is not very good, Robert's failed film, but Scarlett's performance is very good. Recently, it seems to have received a new film by the daughter of the Coppola family."
The Coppola family, this is an amazing Hollywood family in Hollywood. Sofia's father, Francis Ford Coppola, is the director of the "Godfather" series and holds six Oscars. And her cousin is the famous Oscar winner Nicolas Cage. Sofia, after becoming a failed actor, embarked on the same path as her father and became a director. Although she is still doing small things now, the first movie "Angel with Broken Wings" has shown that Coppel The directing talent of a rookie in the La family—she chose the right one this time, and many people commented so.
Scarlett Johansson took over the lead role in Lost in Translation, and Daniel knows it.
"Okay, so, Jerry, do you think she would be a good fit to play Elizabeth Swan?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Daniel shook his head, indicating that he was serious.
Jerry frowned, he obviously understood other aspects, "CAA is getting a small gift bag?"
Hearing this sentence, Daniel was a little taken aback before he understood.
The CAA company Daniel belongs to has no binding force on him now. CAA has a policy that is well-known in the brokerage world but notorious in the film production industry, that is, the packaging system. CAA has a large number of talents with various divisions of labor. It is enough to pull up a complete production team for the studio, from director to producer, from starring to secondary, from editing to lighting, etc., can be handed over to CAA.
However, there are only a few studios and film projects that are willing to do this. No one can throw a tens of millions project to CAA and let them decide everything. And even studios have intertwined relationships, such as Daniel and Universal. If Daniel really likes some project of Universal and it is handed over to CAA for packaging, it will be difficult not to hurt the feelings of both parties.
This situation also prompted CAA to come up with some castrated packages, such as a director with two supporting roles, or a protagonist with a lighting prop. The industry jokingly called this a "small gift package".
Unavoidably misunderstood Jerry, Daniel fully confessed his thoughts.
"As you said, I think this is a good actress, and it's cheap, which is very important. Even if there is a next one, she can't ask for a high price. In addition, she is now a project under Kusa, although Kusa didn't ask me, but I figured it would be fine to let her try if it was appropriate."
"Try it?" Jerry thought for a while, "I can ask Amanda to try it too, but in the end I said I didn't pass."
"Don't worry, if she's really my fan, I'll settle her. I won't make things difficult for you."
"That's great."
