Chapter 440 Fame with one goal

Danny Cannon.

An English male director, screenwriter and producer.

One of his most famous films is the 2005 football-themed movie "Fame".

The movie tells the story of a Mexican teenager who becomes a great soccer player.

The protagonist of the movie, Nunes, is a young man from a Mexican family who smuggled into the United States. He lives in Los Angeles and has a gifted game. He is the main scorer in the team he joins.

Newcastle scouts in the Premier League accidentally discovered his superb skills in a game. After several twists and turns, the current Newcastle United team leader finally agreed to let Nunes join the team, so as to gain a firm foothold in the team.

The filming of "Fame" also received strong support from FIFA, and the box office of the film was also very good after its release.

Danny Cannon's plan is to shoot a trilogy, and this year's second "Become Fame 2: Real Madrid Champions League" will meet the audience at Christmas.

But Danny was in a bad mood because the film critics had not commented well on the film during the film screening.

Generally, the sequels of movies get worse and worse. This is also easy to understand. The first time is always the best.

But Danny will be filming a third part later, if this one fails, then the third part probably won't get the investment.

Danny was under a lot of mental pressure. He often watched football news online, until he saw Tang Zhenglong. In an instant, a professional director's intuition told him that this guy might be helpful to his film.

*****
"Danny Cannon, who is he?" Moyes was unfamiliar with the name.

"A director, we have seen his movie, "Fame""

With a specialization in art, Moyes is really not interested in the entertainment industry, so he put on a confused expression.

"It's the story of the Mexican kid chasing his football dream."

Moyes nodded, "I seem to have a little impression, why is he here at Everton?"

"It is said that he found the prototype character of the movie, that is Tang Zhenglong."

Moyes froze for a moment.

"Tang Zhenglong is from China. Has he ever studied geography?"

Alan Khan said: "He means that the experiences of the two are very similar."

Moyes spread his hands, "But I still don't understand what his purpose is?"

"He wants Tang Zhenglong and Everton Club to help him promote the film."

At this point, Moyes understands, business cooperation.

"It's fine for the boss to agree to business cooperation, and I have no objection."

"The boss has agreed."

*****
Everton's lounge.

Danny Cannon was surrounded by crowds. This is a famous guide in the UK. The players naturally expressed their friendliness and courtesy.

"Danny, your "Became Famous" film is so good."

"haha, thank you."

"It said on the Internet that the second part is coming out soon."

"Christmas release in the UK."

"I will definitely go to the cinema to see it then."

At this time Tang Zhenglong came.

Danny Cannon immediately stood up, this action stunned the people around him, even the big director is so attentive to Tang Zhenglong?

I really fucked up.

"Hello, Don."

"Hello, Danny."

The atmosphere was not right, and everyone knew that Danny wanted to have a private chat with Tang Zhenglong, so they let it go.

"Don, let me introduce myself first."

"No, I know who you are."

"Tang, I've seen a lot of comments about you on the Internet. I like your big mouth, which is very straightforward."

"Hahaha."

"What did you think of my first movie?"

"It's very interesting. I think the protagonist's growth is very clear and can inspire some children's football dreams."

"So did you know a little bit about my second movie?"

"I heard that there are superstars from Real Madrid."

"Haha."

The investment in the second part is several times that of the first part, and more importantly, there are guest appearances by Real Madrid superstars.

but……

Danny rubbed his hands, looking hesitant.

"Don, can you keep the things I'm going to say a secret for me?"

"of course can."

"Actually, the pressure of the second film is greater than that of the first film. Movie fans are not fools. A few cameo appearances by Real Madrid superstars will not improve the quality of the film."

"Then why didn't you modify it when shooting?"

Danny said helplessly: "I'm just a director, and the investor behind me is the big boss."

Tang Zhenglong understood that Danny was probably afraid that the box office of the second movie would not be good.

"Then what can I do? I don't think you came to Everton to meet me for coffee."

"Haha, refreshing, I'm looking for you for two things this time, the first is to become the publicity ambassador of "Fame into Fame 2" in China, and the second thing, I want to invite you to play the leading role in "Fame into Fame 3" and tell a football story of a Chinese youth."

Tang Zhenglong's heart skipped a beat.

He vaguely guessed the first point, but the second point really scared him.

"The protagonist of the movie?"

"Yes."

Tang Zhenglong began to stammer.

"But I don't know how to act."

"Beckham doesn't know how to film, but our cooperation is also very good. Actors can learn from it."

"you sure?"

Danny nodded.

In fact, when filming the first part, Danny himself was very excited. The scene where the protagonist went to Newcastle for a trial training for the first time.

Don't understand, feel wronged, get kicked to the ground, and face expulsion from the house.

This is not just a dilemma that football players will encounter. In fact, any newcomer in the workplace will encounter it. When Danny himself was just a screenwriter, he wrote a script and was treated as rubbish. Isn't this the same dilemma.

But the second film is a purely commercial bad film, with a lot of money and fame, but that kind of pure dream has disappeared.

"Tang, I want to get back my original dream. I can help you become a professional actor."

Tang Zhenglong's heart skipped a beat, is this a compliment or a detriment to me?

It doesn't seem like a good thing for a football player to become a showman, does it?

"Tang, you can think about it. Let's go back to the current cooperation first. I need to use your portrait rights. I will discuss the cost with your agent, and you have to cooperate with our publicity."

"can."

"I will invite you to attend the Christmas premiere, and I hope you will attend."

"Can I bring my teammates?"

I don't know who interrupted out of the blue, it turned out that this group of people were pretending to be eavesdropping.

"Haha, of course, I mean I will invite the Everton team to participate. I hope I will invite the half-time Premier League champions."

"Hey, we will work hard."

*****
Moyes was taken aback when he learned of Danny's offer through Allan.

"It's still rich to make movies, and it costs millions of pounds in publicity fees as soon as you make a move."

"That guy is probably optimistic that we can win the half-time championship. If that's the case, he will promote with us at Christmas, then the money is actually not much."

Moyes nodded, good grades are great.
