Ace Hollywood

readx(); Since Daniel was resurrected in the United States, at the beginning, he often thought about going back to meet friends and acquaintances, but the longer he stayed in Hollywood, the more blurred his memories of the East Side. To this day, his memory has been displaced by life in America. Those things in the east, when I think about them occasionally, feel very strange, always like watching a movie.

So the idea of ​​going back has not been very strong, and there are really no opportunities at work.

In the past two years, China's film market has improved considerably, and Hollywood has also begun to pay attention to it, but the market is too closed, and the cultural differences are relatively large, so it's hard to say that it pays more attention. For example, this time, Disney decided to invite him to visit. It must be a news report. It can be said that Hollywood stars of this level have not visited for many years.

The reason why Daniel has to think about one or two is mainly to lay the foundation for future market development. What's more, it is very meaningful to invite the Chinese side to make films like Mulan and Kung Fu Panda. After all, he is an outstanding The strong side only needs to share the box office in their country. Internationally, especially in North America, the interests still belong to him.

However, it doesn't mean to just go like this, just to stand for Pirate, it's better to wait until the next Pirate, or his own film.

The main reason is whether I can make friends with some people during this trip, such as the heads of the two large state-owned enterprises in charge of foreign film distribution.

These still need to be coordinated by Sally. Speaking of which, he is not familiar with anyone in China now. Vivienne has met a few times. a good opportunity.

Expectations for Pirates of the Caribbean are much better than when the project was first established.

At the beginning, when Disney decided to take the PG-13 line, everyone had doubts about the project, because it is hard to imagine a company that only makes family movies, children's movies and cartoons. Suddenly convincing achievements can be made in another field. Although it is said that a film is decided by the director, producer and leading actors, the characteristics of the production company will definitely infiltrate it subtly, because they are the bosses. Those who can call the shots need to consider the attitude of the boss, otherwise the cooperation may only be this once, and it is not impossible to even change people halfway.

For example, in Pirate, Gore Verbinski was replaced, although both parties' public statements were very friendly. But some knowledgeable people must understand what it is for. The biggest possibility is that the investors are not satisfied with Gore.

For a while, it was rumored that Johnny Depp would be playing Captain Jack - which is all the more worrisome, a director with few films and a fringe A- in a Tim Burton-esque film, An investment firm that has never been in the field.

No matter which forecasting agency or newspaper it is, they dare not say that they are optimistic about this movie.

However, after Daniel announced that he would spend money to join and star in.

Things have changed a bit.

Although Daniel can't compare with Johnny Depp in terms of qualifications, he has passed the test of big productions all the way. And has an Oscar, so popular. Such an actor is somewhat reassuring.

Hollywood never sells qualifications.

Goldie Hawn was shortlisted for the Golden Globes this year, but almost no one mentioned it. Kate Hudson—her daughter—has a much higher exposure rate than her.

In the rules of Hollywood, rather than saying that seniority equals appeal, it is better to say that seniority equals obsolete.

Of course, this is a bit of a generalization, but there is always some truth to it.

Since the beginning of this year, as Weta Digital has won Oscars twice. When he won the Oscar, Pirate became popular. Later, Rwanda, The Pianist and The Counterfeit God exceeded 100 million in succession, and there were more public discussions about Daniel's temporary departure from Hollywood next year. The media and movie fans missed the days without him early. As a result, his works that have not been published this year, Pirates of the Caribbean and Return of the King are generally bullish.

So many benefits also gave Disney a lot of confidence.

Robert now has some regrets about letting Daniel go. Seeing that these benefits are basically in Daniel's hands, if he can fully participate in the announcement, the insurance factor of Pirates will be much higher.

actually. Generally speaking, as a leading actor, and still a leading actor who gets a share, Daniel has to cooperate with Disney's entire promotional schedule, generally speaking. Of course, a celebrity like him also has privileges, it depends on who is more powerful in the wrestling between the two sides. But even so, it doesn't mean that Daniel needs to invest his other strengths, contacts, etc. Of course he can if he wants to, but it certainly can't be written in the contract.

What's more, it was Disney who forcibly squeezed out his investment, and now it is somewhat unrealistic to imagine that Daniel can invest in it without any grievances.

Simply, for a company of Disney's magnitude, as long as it intends to do it, the publicity can always be satisfactory. The people that should be covered will definitely be covered, and the potential audiences that should be won will definitely be taken care of.

It's just a fly in the ointment.

...

Before the movie screening.

Everyone is chatting with each other.

They are all old friends. Like Daniel, a popular superstar with several strong movies released every year, these media may be more familiar with his every move than his own family.

With the dedicated paparazzi and the rising social media MB, the private space of celebrities has been compressed all at once.

Almost the photos are online, and they can spread in a short time. For example, a star of Daniel’s level is more like being stared at with a magnifying glass. One of the reasons for having to ask them to issue a formal invitation.

Instead of going there in a sneaky way, and then being discovered, and attracting suspicion all over the world, it's better to be open-minded, at least you can have less messy thoughts.

Before, someone uploaded a photo of Jessica Alba going to the hospital on MB. In the photo, Jessica had already put on a tight camouflage, but she still couldn't hide it from the photographer. Simply, no one knew what she was going to see, and the hospital still had professional ethics. In addition, he also said hello to MB - not to say that there is no more love, after all, Pirate is about to be released, and if any bad news breaks out, he bets that he will definitely be involved in the end.

That would be bad.

Jessica escaped a catastrophe, but some young famous people, such as Lindsay Lohan and Robert Downey Jr., were found to be still on drugs, but the treatment of the two was different, and Lohan was scolded The bottom is upside down, and the image can no longer be bad. Instead, it was Downey—his previous misdeeds were more serious, and now he seems to be stepping back, at least not breaking the law.

This also made Daniel heave a sigh of relief. The DD headquarters was limited by financial resources before, and only opened Love to the House Collapsed, and Stephen Martin was invited to play the role. Another horror movie that David liked, Daniel After the investment department has enough funds, it is going to open recently, and Downey is one of the leading actors. If there is a big negative news at this time, it will have to be replaced.

Daniel is now more and more aware that MB's early success and the opening of the social era will change things, which may far exceed the impact of his tossing around in Hollywood.

...

Another masterpiece.

Turan, the writer of Times, is an old acquaintance with Daniel. Basically, he has given good reviews to all of Daniel's movies, including Legal Blonde, which is not so valued by film critics. Contentment, full of romantic and dreamy atmosphere gave three and a half stars.

This also makes the relationship between the two very good. Basically, Turan can get a share of the benefits that Daniel spreads out.

Moreover, what's interesting is that because Daniel's films never fail, Turan has gradually cultivated his prestige. Many of his praises before the release are usually publicized intentionally after the success of the film. For a film critic For him, his evaluation record is very important. For example, those film critics who sang praises to Pearl Harbor and Wild Wilderness now hate their dark history a little bit.

This is also a balance, otherwise film critics will be even more unscrupulous in accepting benefits.

Turan, who has gained both fame and fortune, naturally became more enthusiastic about Daniel's movies.

He also came early to the preview of Pirate this time.

Daniel dragged him to find a seat.

I think you will like it. This is indeed a very interesting story. Rob Marshall's skill is not low, and Weta's special effects have also improved a lot. There are many scenes. I believe you will be surprised.

Turan's face remained unchanged, but he approached unobtrusively.

What's your forecast? How much box office do you think it will have in North America and around the world? What about the Oscars, is it possible?

Let's go up to 300 million, North America, and the world must be more than 600 million. After all, Disney spent a lot of money.

Daniel bluntly disclosed the information to him. Roger Albert's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, but Turan's momentum is increasing day by day. He has just resigned from the position of president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and he is even more detached. His status, on the contrary, made his influence in this group fight.

Moreover, he is the most followed film critic on MB.

This is due to the fact that MB officials like to invite him to be a guest when they do live broadcasts of pictures and texts for some movies.

These actions, of course, are all part of Daniel's cooperation plan with him. It is of course very beneficial to have an Olympic aid in the important group of film critics. Although the absolute influence of film critics is actually declining, professional comments are always powerful. The impact of social media, under their active embrace, will not have the ability to kill them all.

Paving the way for Turan, Turan will naturally give his own reward. (To be continued.)

PS: I have been exhausted these past few days, the book was blocked, and it was only unlocked today.

I lost a lot of subscriptions, and it took a lot of effort to get them up, which is really sad.

Thank you for the smoking gun reward, the sailor's monthly pass.
