Yang Jian first signed the two No. 21 jerseys brought by Leonardo, and he will carry the signature pen with him.
The three of them chatted in the room, not only about basketball games and movies, but also some interesting things in life. Everyone was very curious about Yang Jian's life and wanted to know what he usually does.
The media has reported that Yang Jian does not like to go out to play. Yang Jian said that his life is very rich. He practices musical instruments at home and also practices acting skills with his girlfriend. He has not hidden the fact that he has a girlfriend at home in Seattle, and sooner or later it will be exposed by the media.
The connections are mutual, and it would be a good thing if Naomi has the opportunity to film a movie with these two in the future. In a parallel world, Naomi and Leonardo starred in "Hoover" together.
Yang Jian was also very curious about Leonardo and Tobey Maguire and asked them how they became friends.
Their acquaintance originated from an audition, and they have known each other since they were young, and they are considered childhood sweethearts.
At that time, they went to audition for a TV series. There were many competitors. Toby looked at his opponents seriously. Everyone else was normal. There was only one silly guy who was doing karate against the wall as if no one else was around. This guy was Leon.
Nadeau.
They both thought the other was interesting and became friends. They played together until they grew up and made a lifelong vow. No matter who gets ahead in the future, they must never forget each other.
Toby's greatest luck was meeting Leonardo, a good friend, because Leonardo stepped forward first and kept his promises and helped him a lot.
Toby's acting career in real life, just like Spider-Man in the movie, has been very difficult along the way.
Toby was born into a poor family in California, USA, in June 1975. His parents separated when he was two years old. His childhood did not have much happiness, and he always lived with different family members.
Before starring in "Spider-Man", Toby's career can only be described as "who dares to be worse than me".
His family is not an entertainment family, and he does not have any connections in the entertainment industry. In addition, he is not a rich person, so there is no way to talk about establishing connections.
Since the late 1980s, he has been participating in auditions, and most of them were passed without saying a word.
Even in the roles Toby received, he was often asked to play children younger than himself, a bit player within a bit player. Because he has a baby face and looks too small, the acting opportunities are very narrow. Now
Still so.
The most unlucky time he had was when he finally got the chance to be the leading actor in a TV series. However, after just over a month of acting, the cast of the show fell apart. The movie was so bad that no one remembered him.
In a parallel world, when Leonardo became famous all over the world because of his big boat, Toby was still an 18th-line actor who was doing a side job. Due to the long-term career failure, and Toby saw that his good buddies were getting better and better, it also made him have a mentality.
Change. It's not jealousy, but he feels he is useless and can't keep up with his buddies.
For this reason, he always resorted to drinking to relieve his sorrows. Soon he suffered from severe alcoholism and even went through compulsory abstinence measures.
At the end of the century, Toby's opportunity finally came, and this opportunity was also because of Leonardo. At that time, Sony Pictures planned to make a movie about "Spider-Man" and sent an audition invitation to Leonardo. Leonardo refused,
And recommended Toby.
Leonardo has never forgotten his childhood promise and is very loyal. If it were not for an actor of his level and the crew to build a relationship, the chance of a role of Spider-Man's magnitude falling into Toby's hands would be very slim.
In the evening, the three of them went to the hotel that Leonardo had booked to eat Western food. Yang Jian would not be polite if someone invited him over. Anyway, Leonardo will be rich in the future, and his current salary is not low.
During the meal, Leonardo talked about work. He hoped that Huaer Pictures would consider letting Toby audition when making movies in the future.
"No problem, it's settled." Yang Jian said with a smile while cutting the steak: "There is no need to audition. If there is a suitable role, I will directly find Toby and make an appointment to participate."
"Shuang Kuang, will it be an important role?" Leonardo asked.
"Of course. Although my main job is playing basketball, I have a say in making movies."
"I knew it. The trailer of "Fifty First Dates" said that you were the screenwriter. I was shocked." Leonardo admired Yang Jian very much. If he didn't have the right to speak, how could Barrymore film the script he wrote?
?
What's even more amazing is that Yang Jian's script is so exciting that just watching the trailer makes people very interested and want to watch it.
"Thank you, thank you." Toby was shocked now. He didn't expect to get in touch with her so easily. Yang Jian was really easy to talk to. He thought it would be harder to get in touch with such crazy stars.
Leonardo smiled and said, "I told you that Yang is a very nice person. I told you not to be nervous. I was right."
Yang Jian nodded. "Yeah, you don't have to be reserved, I like you very much. I play basketball and film because I like to do it, not to become a big star after becoming a star."
Leonardo shrank his neck. "You actually think you're not big enough? Don't you usually watch the news? If I were you, I would never dare to say those things in an interview."
"Sharp and sharp" is everyone's common impression of Yang Jian. He seems to not know what low-key is.
"I'm not trying to be a big name, I'm just too strong to keep a low profile. It would look very hypocritical if I kept a low profile in the basketball world. I'm not so confident in other things... No, I'm very confident in acting now."
Toby asked curiously: "You haven't seen me act, have you? Aren't you afraid that I will mess it up?"
"Although I haven't seen you act, I have seen Leon act. It's enough that he thinks highly of you. I think you just lack the opportunity to prove yourself, and I believe that your character is fine."
Leonardo asked: "Why? You haven't known me long."
"I'm a good judge of people. People with good personalities will have good friends. It's rare to have best friends in the entertainment industry. And Toby's eyes are very clear, and they are the windows to the soul."
Yang Jian is willing to make friends with them and believes that they are all of good character. In the parallel world, there is a saying that "a supermodel with flowing water is a tough Toby." If it weren't for Leo's love for supermodels, people would doubt his relationship with them.
Toby's relationship.
In the entertainment industry where there are so many cunning plastic brothers, it is not easy to make a best friend, and it is even harder to maintain this relationship. When Yang Jian traveled through time, the relationship between the two was still very strong, and it was better than when they were young.
Moreover, Yang Jian now wants to create his own "superstar circle of friends", which will be very interesting in the future. People are social animals, who can live without friends?
There is no harm to Huaer Pictures in hiring Toby to film. It is a win-win situation. Toby's salary is very low now. Although he does not have much box office appeal, he will be a good souvenir in the future.
Huaer Pictures produces movies, and it would be difficult for Barrymore to hire big names in the entertainment industry to star in them.
In the beginning, they couldn't handle high-cost movies, and Universal wouldn't accompany them on big projects. Barrymore's development plan was to find actors with low salaries and unknown names to win by relying on stories. The big names would star themselves, and then call on Cameron.
-Diaz.
Yang Jian's current salary is not high. No matter how famous he is in the NBA, he is still just a newcomer in the entertainment industry.
Yang Jian really knows some roles that are suitable for Toby, but they won't start filming for the time being. The next movie is scheduled to be "The Ring". The male protagonist is a relatively cool man who seems to be trustworthy, and Toby is definitely not suitable.
After getting to know Toby, Yang Jian was ready to propose a plan to speed up the filming process and try to let Huaer Pictures produce two movies next year. As for whether it would be tiring so fast, he was not the one doing the work anyway...
Barrymore, Drake and others must all hope to go faster. As long as the film looks promising, they will not find it too much work. Most people who can succeed in Hollywood are hard-working and ambitious. People who don't do this will not do it at all.
You can't get ahead because the competition is too fierce.
