Ace Hollywood

Chapter 113: DD Films

Daniel was very sincere about his aversion to J-horror films - it was an excuse he thought of.

It's not going to bring us good memories, I have a hunch.

He made it a point to invite the Gore Verbinskis to his Malibu home, and Melissa and Andy helped him host Gore's wife and children.

Gore wasn't very good at hiding it, and Daniel seemed relieved by his refusal.

Oh, Gore—

Daniel reflected that Gore still seemed to have such a big voice in his film, in other words, it might be difficult for him to convince other people.

I used to feel guilty, but now we don't owe each other anything. Little Weiss, what do you think?

Wes is Gore's youngest son, with big eyes and very cute.

He seemed to like Daniel quite a lot, and kept pinching Daniel's index finger with a smile.

Rejecting The American Version of Midnight Ring not only did not affect the relationship with Gore, but deepened their friendship, which was beyond Daniel's expectations.

But more unexpected is behind.

Kusa Damon quickly finalized the cooperation with IFC on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

David, who is about to end his world tour, will return to Los Angeles in the near future, and then learn from the group. He will not dictate, but as the executor who supervises his and Daniel's total investment of five million US dollars, it is perfect.

David invested three million and Daniel invested two million, both in the name of Double D film industry under David's name-this name is taken from the initials of David and Daniel, referred to as DD film industry.

The shareholding of this independent film production company, which was registered a year ago, is that David invested 9 million US dollars, accounting for 51%, and Daniel invested 4 million + industry resources and company priority, accounting for 49% - this is the result of the insistence of both parties , David originally hoped to hand over the controlling stake to Daniel, but Daniel can’t take such a big advantage, but David’s rhetoric is also reasonable-at this stage, if DD Films wants to grow, Daniel is far more important than David’s money ! Moreover, the operation of the company is bound to rely on Daniel acting at a low price, or even choosing and producing projects to promote it. At that time, this shareholding ratio will no longer be appropriate.

Therefore, the two parties negotiated that within one year, Daniel would acquire 10% of DD shares from David by injecting 2 million yuan, thereby transferring the controlling stake.

These seemingly redundant tossings were unanimously approved by David and Daniel's investment managers.

Institutions need to be developed and followed from the start.

The news of Daniel investing in and participating in My Big Fat Greek Wedding was quickly disclosed by the media. This is the danger of small companies. DD and even IFC can hardly hide the news. It is not clear which of these movie plans has been implemented.

Star, take a share, and invest—although there are small discounts at each step, Daniel Sandler is walking firmly in the way of superstardom.

The new report from Entertainment Weekly is hardly biased.

After a brief analysis of Daniel's Hollywood experience in the past two or three years, Weekly said with a sigh, When MGM decided to give him a 5% profit share last year, everyone was shocked, but today he will take When it comes to the 10% box office share of the new film, everyone is already familiar with it-of course, the two opportunities are different.

However, this subtle change is also partly showing the Brooklyn boy's success in Hollywood. Now, DD Films, which he co-founded, has invested in a film worth tens of millions—cooperating with Tom Hanks. Who can say that next year he won't invest and get a share of a billion-dollar investment?

This kind of expectation is somewhat excessive.

But the wind direction didn't last long.

As the news of The American Version of Midnight Ringer continues to be released, the big-mouthed Gore revealed that he once invited Daniel to play the leading role, but was poorly rejected.

The news that he was confused by Oscar and dollars suddenly took over the mainstream.

These are indeed two very different opportunities. One is a romantic comedy that has a bleak future and is not even sure whether it can make it through the preview week. The other is a well-known horror film IP with an investment of 60 million. According to the San Francisco Chronicle statement.

Obviously, the lure of being an investor and taking a cut of the box office made Daniel pass up a major production, and we can only hope his luck works this time around.

...

Daniel, I'm really sorry, I had no idea this was going to happen.

Gore was still inexperienced, and Daniel certainly couldn't blame him.

It's just that when Triver was busy, he privately said that Gore was a fat man without a heart. After all, it was unavoidable.

Who asked him to make such a big trouble for Trevor.

Daniel is currently attending various activities intensively, and there are many opportunities for reporters to ask face to face.

Yes, Gore is a good friend of mine, and I am very grateful for his invitation, but because of my lack of understanding of Japanese horror, I regret to decline Midnight Ring, which is not the same as other movies. What a direct relationship. As for the other flick, yes, it's a romantic comedy, shot mostly in Canada, and I was moved by the story, Nia is a very talented person, I think the same as Tom Hanks Yes, we all want to help such a heartwarming work, and we feel the audience has a right to enjoy such a story.

Of course, such high-sounding wording cannot appease the media.

However, Triver’s skills are not bad, and some influential media will still give him face. They will not start too much from criticizing Daniel, and at most just express the disparity between the two opportunities to ridicule Daniel’s vision.

See, Mr. Kusa, your tendency has caused me to be ridiculed by the entire American media.

Kusa Damon didn't recognize it at all.

Come on, Mr. Sandler, make it sound like none of this has anything to do with you. I don't expect to make you a marionette.

Against this dark cloud, Daniel attended the Oscar nominees luncheon and participated in several Oscar eve parties held by various magazines and groups.

On the eve of the award ceremony, even with three trophies in hand, Daniel’s odds gradually increased to the same level as Willem Dafoe, 1:1.5, Beniso slightly higher 1:2, Jeb and Albert respectively It's 1:5 and 1:7.2 - the odds for the two basic outs.

Burberry is being generous this time, but have you really decided to wear your own clothes?

Tim Roland, an old British gentleman, introduced Daniel to an Italian handmade dress shop, and the other party came to Hollywood specially for him.

Melissa said he was too slow and we had to rush him.

The endorsement negotiations with Burberry entered a substantive stage, but Burberry ultimately did not agree to reach a contract before the Oscars - even though Melissa expressed dissatisfaction.

So Daniel decided to give them some fun.

(Thank you for the reward, good name——)
