Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

It has to be said that the mature film industry system in the United States once again helped Jed a lot.According to the regulations of the film industry in the United States, as long as you are an actor, you must be a registered member of the actors' union if you want to star in a film with formal investment.Similarly, the same regulations apply to directors, screenwriters, and photographers.The only exception is that unless you are a graduate of a related major and want to make your own graduation work, you will only make an exception at this time.Otherwise, it’s no problem for you to film and play by yourself, and you must obtain relevant qualifications if you want to show it in public theaters.

Since Haley Joe Osment has starred in a movie, the actor union will naturally have his relevant information.And more importantly, Jed actually found out that Haley Joel's father, Eugene Osmond, was also an actor.In this way, the reliability of the data is much higher. Maybe child actors will "stop filming" because of family intervention when they make one or two movies, but adult actors will not have this problem.After comparing the information of Eugene and Haley Joel, Jed confirmed Haley Joel's contact information, so he made a phone call, saying that Galaxy Movies and Jed Sherman hoped to cooperate with Haley Joel Osment in a film new film.

But to the surprise of the staff of Yinhe Movies, they were rejected!There are actors in Hollywood who refuse to cooperate with Galaxy Films and Jed Sherman, which is the same as killing their own careers!But it was not Osmond who rejected Jed, but Osmond's mother.Haley Joe's mother, Teresa, is a teacher, so she dislikes her children taking the road of stardom more than ordinary mothers.Although the entertainment industry in the United States is very developed, Americans are no less disgusted with the star industry than the Chinese.

Negative terms such as drug abuse, promiscuity, and alcoholism have almost become synonymous with entertainment stars, and Jed has no way to reverse this impression.It goes without saying that the cultural quality of entertainment stars is generally not high. Do you think talented girls like Jodie Foster and Natasha can be seen everywhere?Even a positive star like Johnny Depp has an unbearable past. Do you still count on other stars?

The most famous joke in Los Angeles is that the popularity of a star is directly proportional to the lineup of his legal team.When his team has the best divorce lawyers in the country, his career is taking off; when his team already has criminal lawyers who specialize in defending murders, then he must be a top star.

With such an established image, Jade really didn't think he could convince a teacher mother to let her son out in a movie.Although Haley Joe also starred in a comedy "Mom is Crazy" in 1996, he never appeared in any works after this movie.Apparently, Trisha's character, Haley Joel, who is eight years old, is about to start reading.

The subordinates naturally reported the frustrated news to Jed, and Jed was not surprised.In the United States, there are star parents who want their children to become famous overnight, and there are star parents like Hailey Qiao who don't want their children to be trapped in the entertainment industry.Fortunately, Haley Joel's father, Eugene, is also an actor. Jed felt that he could start with his father, so he inquired about Eugene's work arrangement and decided to try his luck.

Eugene is not a very successful actor in Hollywood, at least Jed has rarely heard of his name, he is far less famous than his son.Through Hollywood's huge and detailed data query, Jed found that in the past two years, Eugene only participated in the filming of two TV movies, namely "The Law Not Merciful" in 1997 and "Red Chief's Ransom" in 1998. ".Not to mention that Jed has no impression of these two TV movies, even the Dongfeng TV staff who specialize in TV production also said they have no impression.From this, we can know how frustrated this Eugene's star father is, and a relatively good way of persuasion has emerged in Jed's mind, which is very useful in thinking.

Jed quickly had someone block Eugene at the door of the Screen Actors Union. For this kind of unknown little actor, the only way for them to get an audition is through the job announcement board of the Screen Actors Union.When Eugene learned that Jed Sherman, who was famous in Hollywood, wanted to meet him, he was so excited that he almost fainted.Who doesn't know that Jed can be called the "golden touch" in Hollywood. The actors who have filmed his works have either become Oscar regulars or box office guaranteed hits?

"You hope that I can convince my wife to let my son come out to shoot your work?" Eugene was a little disappointed.

But Eugene was still a little happy in his heart to let his son act in Jade's work.After all, for most fathers, they more or less regard their son as another self, and they hope that their unfinished business can be continued with their son.Eugene is just one of the countless young actors in Hollywood. In addition to loving the acting career, they also have a dream of becoming a big star in their hearts.

Eugene knew that he had almost no chance. He didn't have an outstanding appearance or amazing acting skills, and he didn't even have a chance to be favored by God in Hollywood where he had been in for so long.He thinks it is the luckiest thing in his career that he can talk face-to-face with Jed now, and it seems that he may really have no possibility of becoming a big star.

"Can you guarantee my son is famous? Mr. Sherman, I don't want my son to end up like me."

"He will become the second Macaulay Culkin, even he can go further than Macaulay." Jed replied.

Macaulay Culkin can be said to be the most successful child star in Hollywood history. The "Home Alone" series made Macaulay almost one of the representatives of American culture.But Macaulay's mere comedic performances put him at a disadvantage in the awards, and his recent string of bad press has left Hollywood on the back burner for this former darling.

In addition to starring in comedies, Haili Qiao's truly famous works are all drama works, and they are still the kind of literary movies.Therefore, in the competition for various awards, Hailiqiao has a natural advantage.On top of that, America is lacking a cute boy right now, and Haley Joel can fill that void.

According to Jade, after Haley Joel, America once again suffered from a lack of cute boys.It wasn't until the appearance of Dakota Goyo later that Americans saw a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, until Jed was reborn, Dakota was only a supporting role.And now Haili Qiao can already play the leading role in a movie, although the sales of this work are relatively average.

"Macauley is not a good standard." Eugene smiled wryly.

As an old Hollywood actor, how could Eugene not know about Macaulay?The reason why Macaulay became what he is today is entirely the fault of the film company and his parents.Both parties want to control the child star who can lay golden eggs, and the result is that Macaulay, who has entered the rebellious period, has a complete fallout with the film company and his parents.

Macaulay, who was not yet an adult, was already addicted to alcohol, drugs, and nightclubs. If Macaulay's agent hadn't been quite conscientious, the child would have been completely ruined.Although Macaulay almost disappeared for a period of time, the investment his agent planned for him during his popular period kept him from starving to the streets.After Macaulay reconsidered his life at the age of 3, he started again with the help of his former agent.But such managers are almost as rare as giant pandas in China, and Eugene dare not gamble on this one.

"Parents are the most important role models for children. We will not control what Haley Joe does. As long as there are no problems with you and your wife, Hailey Joe's future will be smooth." Jed thought for a while, He also said, "Mr. Eugene Osmond, I can recommend you to go to some small production companies to participate in the shooting of some movies. What you need now is to hone your acting skills. Maybe we will have the possibility of cooperation in the future."

"Well, I invite you to visit my house, maybe you can convince my wife or not." Eugene finally compromised.

At Eugene's house, Jed finally gets a chance to convince Theresa in person.Trisha is not the kind of mother who strictly opposes her children entering the entertainment industry, but Macaulay's example really makes her a mother feel terrified.After all, there is no way for any mother to accept that her underage children start to indulge in alcohol and drugs. Even if they are adults, such things are too terrible for mothers.But Jed promised that he would not let Haley Joe get in touch with the bad side of the entertainment industry, and he also promised that he would not instigate Hailey Joe to fight against his parents in the future.

But in addition, Jed also said: "Teresa, I have done everything a director and producer can do, but whether a child can grow up healthily has nothing to do with me. You and You Jin is the child's parents, and you are the guarantee for his healthy growth."

"I understand what you said." As an educator, Trisha didn't understand the importance of parents to children.

After the two parties reached a consensus, there would be no problem in discussing Haley Joe's shooting plan in detail.Trisha is still somewhat repulsed by her son's participation in a psychological horror film. She doesn't want to leave a psychological shadow on her child.

Jed had to guarantee, "When we were filming, your son would only feel that this is a normal family life film. The so-called psychological horror film will only be reflected in our post-production through editing and special effects. And we can have Mr Eugene Osment on the sidelines, and if we cross the line, he can stop the shot."

Jed's sincerity made Tereza reluctant to object, and the final contract satisfied the family.After all, Eugene's income was too unstable to leave, and Tereza's salary alone could not give the family a sufficient life.Just as Jed was about to leave, he met Eugene and Theresa's youngest daughter, Emily.

This cute little girl reminded Jed of something. He added: "If you also have career plans for your little daughter, I can recommend her to Disney. I think Disney's film and television production team will be very happy to have her." Your daughter joins."

Eugene just took Jed's words as politeness and didn't take them seriously. Jed didn't say anything, just left with a smile.But he knew that this girl named Emily would soon appear on Hollywood's list of child stars, and when she starred in "Very Small Agent: Neverland" and "Very Small Agent: Three-Dimensional Attack", she would become famous.It's a pity that Emily can't find a way out on the big screen, and finally can only participate in the filming of TV series.
