Chapter 45: It's Daniel

No third person knew about Cusa's meeting with Tony Gilroy.

Therefore, when the film crew discussed the role of the leading actor, Tony's attitude became more rigid and intense, which was extremely surprising.

"I don't think Matt Damon is really suitable for this role. What we want is not an American soldier who can be mistaken for Ryan. Do you really have the confidence to beat Steven?" Tony said at the seminar for the first time. On the Internet, he made it clear that he opposed Matt's role, "Also, do you think it is appropriate for a male lead who lacks respect for the script?"

Tony isn't pretending to be objective, he doesn't have to be, and no writer would tolerate that.

Robert—the original writer and producer—gave Tony a frown, "Tony, Matt's agent has already expressed his apology. Matt himself has no malice. He just made his own suggestion."

"Rob, do you think 'this is a mediocre work without genius' is a suggestion?" Tony was not timid. "No, that's contempt and incomprehension."

Robert wasn't in good health, and he didn't think Damon had to.

"Tony, what made you so persistent all of a sudden?" He was a little curious, because he hadn't received any more inappropriate activities from Matt Damon recently.

"Because there is a more suitable choice." Tony pointed to the photo of Daniel on the table, "Look at this young man, he just acted in a Ridley Scott movie and is playing Peter Jackson Yes, he even got a share of MGM's box office, and he is tall, handsome, charming, with sharp movements and amazing acting skills. Why should I push myself? Why do you want to eat shrimp when you have fish? I don't understand why you still I am struggling, is it so difficult to choose between an arrogant 30-year-old star and a superstar who knows how to respect movies?"

Tony's words were mainly addressed to Universal's Jose, the vice president of Universal's film department and Stacy Schneider's right-hand man.

He is now Matt's main supporter.

Doug Liman and Frank Marshall think the two are pretty much the same.

Jose looked at Doug and Frank, "It's too risky to choose Daniel. He has developed well, but who can give me a guarantee that he can afford a commercial film with an investment of 60 million?"

"It's as if Matt can give you a guarantee. Why don't you ask Philip if he is willing to sign a contract. If North America exceeds 100 million, you will give Matt 20 million."

Jose opened his mouth, unable to say anything, he turned to Doug Liman, "Doug, you are the director, you have to make a decision about this, our movie needs a superstar, not a supernova, This is very important to Universal and everyone on the crew. I understand Daniel’s advantages, maybe Universal can ask him to cooperate with a movie with an investment of 20 to 30 million, but not "The Bourne".

The pen in Doug's hand tapped on the table several times, and his eyes wandered over the photos of Daniel and Matt Damon.

It seems that Matt is not dazzling enough-this is not a real spy, he requires a public face, and the spies in the movie are dazzling enough.

Doug squinted and imagined.

Jason Bourne shuttled through the crowds in Zurich, and reflected in the halo of Europe, it should be Matt Damon or Daniel Sandler.

Matt and Daniel's faces cross frequently.

Doug closed his eyes, and the two were indeed evenly matched.

If it's Matt, it's a believable super-agent story.

And if it's Daniel, it's a perfect hero story, whether the former is more secure, or the latter is easier to arouse people's admiration.

"It's really difficult to choose."

Doug's answer made He Sai not very satisfied, but he didn't expect Doug to have a clear answer. In fact, in many communications, Doug has already shown hesitation about the inability to choose between the two.

"Okay, Frank, now you're the only one left." Jose looked at Frank, "You—oh, sorry, I'll answer the phone."

"Hi, Stacy—"

Jose walked out of the conference room, and everyone heard the call from Stacey, the president of Universal Pictures.

Stacey's call was indeed for the leading man of Bourne, and she was a little dissatisfied with the crew's protracted selection.

"Stacy, Tony Gilroy stuck with Daniel Sandler, he's just smitten with that kid. Doug? Doug's still like that, hardly a man. Frank didn't make an opinion, I was about to ask He. Stacy, Matt is really suitable, I don't think anyone is more suitable than him. He is suitable for the role, has enough reputation, people can be trusted and the price is not too outrageous, he is simply for "Bourne Bourne" was tailor-made."

"Philip? Oh, no, no, Philip didn't call me." Jose looked confused, but Stacey couldn't see him on the other end of the phone, "Stacy, I can't make fun of such a big project, you You should believe me. What? What did you say? Okay, okay, we will definitely have a result today, and I will call you later."

He Sai exhaled, his expression relaxed a lot, and he said in a low voice, "Philip!"

Jose, who returned to the conference room, waved his phone with a smile, "Hey, everyone, the boss is on the phone, urging us to act faster. Oh, by the way, Frank, I just asked you, what do you think?"

Frank remembered his meeting with Cusa.

"If we thought like that after School Blues... no Gladiator... no Lord of the Rings trilogy... you wouldn't even give me a chance to stand before you." Cusa's words in Frank's My mind kept spinning.

This is a respectable group that never waits and goes all out for what they want.

I am really curious about what Daniel and Kusa can achieve in the end. Perhaps, this time he should support this pair of young people.

Philip's provocative speeches and analyzes gave way to a sudden rush of emotion.

"I, I think Daniel might give us a surprise." Frank said as soon as he said it, and the audience was watching.

Surprisingly, Frank was inclined to support Matt, but that was only an inclination. But now, he actually made it clear that the chariots and horses supported Daniel.

In the end what happened?

Jose felt that something must have happened that he didn't know. He looked at Doug Liman, and now he was just waiting for his decision.

Doug looked at Jose, then at Tony, Frank, and Robert.

The discussions in several meetings went through his mind. In fact, each time was similar, but Daniel gained the advantage step by step. Up to now, two of the five people have blatantly supported him.

What an amazing young man.

surprise? Maybe it can really be expected.

"Daniel Sandler, that's him."

"No, Stasi doesn't think so."

The four people looked at He Sai at the same time. He felt that something unexpected had happened, but he had to bite the bullet and continued, "Stasi wants us to choose Matt Damon, she must be responsible to shareholders,
