(Open a reader group 460719545, friends who are willing to chat with Danny or give comments to the book, you can add it! I missed you more than a thousand words yesterday, and I will make it up the day after tomorrow. I am sorry. It will be updated normally today and tomorrow. Thanks to the book friends The reward of 150506011945957 gave me some encouragement at the critical moment)

When Daniel was on the scene again, Ridley, who was sitting behind the monitor, keenly felt his changes, and then Russell Crowe and Connie Nielsen next to the scene, they both had more scenes with Daniel, So when they looked at Daniel, they could clearly feel the unusual change.

Commodius played by Daniel has a kind of vitality. Even when he is crazy and dark, this vitality is helping the character to be more lively. This is a state that is difficult to describe. If you force him to To make an analogy that may be inappropriate, perhaps it can be said this way: the former Commodius was a mass of various emotions, he was strong, thick, and complicated; but the current Commodius is a person with people with these emotions.

This sudden vitality made Commodius walk away from the rich and colorful paintings handed down from generation to generation.

Ridley was so excited that he even reshot several scenes to make the whole performance more unified.

The entire crew became active again because of this change. Not long ago, Oliver Reed, who played the businessman of the Colosseum, passed away unexpectedly. British fame at one time, he came from an accomplished acting family.

The departure of such a member made the entire crew feel very depressed.

Until Daniel's Commodius was injected with life, which became an opportunity for people to open up new emotions, and everyone believed that Oliver must want his posthumous work to be an outstanding classic.

After continuing to shoot for two days, Daniel's shooting progress picked up speed again.

Daniel took the initiative to mention to the director that Commodius could shoot the scene before he took the throne.

Breaking out of the former commodius and stepping into the latter was no longer a problem for him.

Sure enough, in the few scenes, Daniel performed with ease. At this time, Commodius is still a dark little seed. He clumsily wants to show his good side, but this clumsiness is undoubtedly A hint that he is not good at these, not good at war, not good at tolerance, not good at appreciation.

On the whole, he is straightforward and cute, of course, it can also be said that he is a little stupid.

Daniel, who has broken through the barrier, has already been able to act in this drama.

Russell Crowe also has his own problems, but compared to Daniel, his problems are more normal. He has all the abilities to play Maximus, but he can't fully develop them. As the filming progressed, with Daniel's influence and Ridley's guidance, Crowe got closer and closer to Maximus.

For skilled actors, once they have mastered the essence of the role and have the performance skills to interpret this essence, everything will come naturally.

Therefore, the Gladiator crew, like most crews, ushered in the end when everyone's state was almost perfect.

Daniel wraps up surprisingly sooner than Connie Nielsen, who plays his older sister Lucilla. Russell Crowe was unsurprisingly the last to wrap up filming. But the difference between the protagonists is only one or two days in general, and no one has extra shots.

They wrap up in Italy instead of Malta, giving everyone a last chance to see Rome.

Starting from the already familiar ancient Roman Colosseum, including the Senate that appeared in the movie, as well as the temples around the Colosseum, the Shrine of the Virgin and the Pantheon, etc. Then go north, is the Parthian Arc de Triomphe - this is the glory of Emperor Severus returning from his expedition. Opposite this triumphal arch, that is, going south from the Colosseum, is another triumphal arch—the Arch of Titus, which is named after Emperor Titus—to commemorate his great achievements in conquering Jerusalem.

Next to the Arch of Titus to the south is the third - and the largest in Rome - the Arch of Constantine.

The practice of emperors building triumphal arches to publicize their achievements is obviously very common, but it does leave a large number of valuable relics for the city of Rome.

In addition to these triumphal arches and triumphal columns, the most attractive thing for this group of people must be the museums in Rome. These museums house countless art treasures from the Renaissance, each of which is rich in connotation and far-reaching.

Daniel, Connie Nielsen, Russell Crowe, and their assistants who stayed in Rome for two days, the whereabouts of this large group of people in Italy cannot be concealed from the media.

The news that all members of Gladiator were finished soon spread back to the United States, and it was already early December. When Daniel flew back to Los Angeles, Cusa's mailbox was filled with a sudden increase in mail.

Activities, endorsements, film appointments, all kinds of invitations and contacts come one after another.

This is of course beyond the expectations of many people. After leaving the United States for four months, it stands to reason that most of Daniel's popularity should have faded. At least there will be no more attention until the next work is released.

Lucky Boys has once again disappointed.

Daniel's personal blog still maintains tens of thousands of popularity, and his website and public discussion board are also still popular. People on the Internet seem to be less fickle and forgetful than they are now.

Although some young actors and comedians are gaining traction online, Daniel's fan base remains large and sticks.

They followed the filming process of Gladiator at length, discussing the words and pictures that Daniel posted on his blog.

Especially the funny group photo with Russell Crowe has received unexpected fanatical attention.

The two of them were obviously in the same boat before the Oscar battle in Gladiator, and maintaining a good relationship is not costly. Russell Crowe likes to work on his farm in Australia, and Keanu Reeves wants to live like a homeless man. It cannot be said that these are not entirely out of their will, but there are some things that make people feel good or novel. Quirks can help them.

You know, Russell Crowe was born in a rock band.

Of course, there were plenty of pictures of Daniel with Connie Nielsen and even Richard Harrison. Taking a photo with Richard who plays Emperor Marcus, Daniel has a little bit of a bad taste, because next year Richard will play his most eye-catching works and roles since his filming - the first in the Harry Potter series Headmaster Dumbledore in Part 1 and Part 2. Being able to take a photo with Dumbledore in advance is a happy thing for the reborn.

As for Connie Nielsen, Cusa and Daniel actually imagined that if there would be some news related to Daniel in this movie-the most likely should be his affair with Connie. Although there is a fifteen-year age difference between Daniel and the Danish actress, Connie has taken care of herself quite well, and the two do have an extraordinary relationship in the plot.

Therefore, it can only be said that the focus of netizens is extraordinary, whether it is now or fifteen years later.

Of course, this is not really unfounded. First of all, of course, it is Crowe. Later Chinese people like to call him Ke Fat. At this time, he came to the United States from Australia. He successively met with Sharon Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington and Al Pacino collaborated and won almost every major award or nomination.

It is recognized as the superstar from Oceania after Mel Gibson.

Crowe is several mountains higher than Daniel in the eyes of the media, movie fans and industry insiders. It's no surprise that Daniel's fans are keen to connect the two of them.

Who doesn't want their idol to have friendship with someone who looks awesome.

To be famous in the industry is also one of the symbols of star status.

But fortunately, Russell has the reputation of Heart Killer. The scandal targets include fellow countryman Nicole Kidman and Hollywood Bole Sharon Stone. Meaningful. If it weren't for these scandals, maybe Daniel would have his first same-sex scandal.

You know, like Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey and other Hollywood stars, Crowe has also played a gay.

However, don't worry for the time being, everyone's attention is mostly on getting along well and appreciating each other. Because both Daniel and Russell Crowe have praised each other's acting skills on their personal webpages. This is also a common practice. Unless they have been photographed by the paparazzi fighting and bleeding, no one will say a few good things against their will. Woolen cloth.

The news of Daniel's return to the United States quickly spread on the Internet. Although the paper media will lag behind the Internet media more and more in the future, in the last month of the 20th century, Daniel made this trend abrupt in advance.

When online news, communities, and discussion boards are all talking about him, Russell Crowe, and Gladiator, the big newspapers are still silent.

According to the theory, it will take at least half a year for a blockbuster such as Gladiator to be released in December, even with some CGI special effects production, which is also in line with Ridley's ambition to compete for the 2001 Oscar. So for the newspaper weekly, the time for Gladiator has yet to come.

The Internet is just an unruly and traditional land of alienation, in their view.

But businesses and investors see the power of the Internet.

That's why Kusa was surrounded by various invitations.

This made him eager to introduce the new movie to Daniel on the way to receive him, Do you still remember Legally Blonde?

Hmm, the 400,000 part?

Yes, Cusa signaled Andy, who was sitting in the co-pilot, to pass him a copy of the script to Daniel, That's it, but the price is not what it used to be.

It has to be said that before the release of Gladiator, it brought benefits to Daniel visible to the naked eye. Commodius' salary of one million dollars made Daniel's worth skyrocket.

Peter Jackson even said he got a bargain.

Yes, he did pick up a huge bargain.

Seventy thousand dollars, what is the difference from free.

Haven't they started filming yet? Daniel flipped through the script of this woman's film. In fact, he was not very interested. He later thought about it carefully, Legally Blonde seems to be one of the few profitable films of MGM after 2000, and their confirmed starring Reese Witherspoon also became popular in the United States after this film, and the salary was once Close to the 20 million club, evenly divided with Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz.

Daniel will remember this movie and Reese, mainly because she also won an Oscar afterward.

But this movie has little to do with men, except for the boss of MGM.

If Daniel is allowed to invest a sum of money, he will be very happy, of course, if he has money.

Whenever this happens, Daniel is always a little bit disappointed. He knows that some movies are destined to be successful, but he has no way to profit from them. Of course, there are some problems with this logic-if the wealth I know does not belong to me, it means that I have lost the wealth. But for the US dollar, what is logic?

Cusa's answer to him was that the studio would be willing to wait for him if Daniel could finish filming The Lord of the Rings trilogy by next October.

This needs to be discussed with Peter Jackson, but it should not be a big problem. With the role of Legolas, ten months should be more than enough. After all, the current Daniel is different from the past, let him spend hard in a role with few roles For more than a year, that didn't meet Hollywood's standards for talent use.

Have you inquired about Reese's price?

Just like you did in Gladiator, a million.

This price is not high. Although Reese is not well-known, she made her debut ten years ago. Even though she studied at Mark's school——Stanford, it is still worth this amount.

Moreover, Legal Blonde is obviously the film she will definitely play the leading role in. Judging from the role, one million is definitely not too much. Although movies are different from TV, there is no saying that money is calculated by the number of scenes, but the more scenes, the higher the price, which is also a matter of course.

They offered you a price of 1.5 million, and they are willing to add some scenes for you. Kusa turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Daniel, but ask to confirm your intention before you go to New Zealand. Hurry up in Gladiator Sign you before it is released, this is the purpose of most of the recent scripts, if Gladiator does not fail completely, your price tag will be more than that, you are all smart people.

Everyone wants to hitch a ride. As long as you hurry up, it can still be released around the Oscars. No matter what the final result of Gladiator is, of course it's better to earn or lose. If there are news breaking points, they can save money. Five million publicity expenses.

Oh, Danny, are you interested in being a director or producer? You know all these ways now. Andy, what do you think?

Andy glanced at him and said nothing.

What a boring little girl, have you never been invited to a party, Andy?

I really don't want to be with drugs, alcohol, and a group of men and women who don't love themselves. Andy glanced at Kusa again, and the meaning was self-evident.

Hey, I'm a pure man.

The only thing you have to do with purity is your degree from Duke University, the first one the Damon family has had in hundreds of years.

Daniel's eyes lit up, as if there was gossip to inquire about, It sounds like you two know each other, hey, Kusa, do you have any special purpose for introducing Andy to me?

Purpose? I can even tell her the love action story with Jones. What purpose can I have? Kusa disagrees. In the legal sense, we have nothing to do with each other. But in terms of blood, she is my uncle. daughter, that is, my younger sister, but her custody until she comes of age is with my uncle's ex-wife.

This poor, mean little girl doesn't like her stepfather and mother too much, so she's having a hard time. Since I'm so good now, it's normal to introduce her a job.

Daniel could see that although Andy was a bit rigid, his relationship with Kusa should be very good.

But why didn't you tell me this in the first place?

Andy hopes to be recognized by you with her ability, oh, yes, have you recognized her now? Kusa drove the car into the garage of CAA, Let's go to the office first, and then send you to Mali I've had your little mansion cleaned, Boo. Oh, I'm such a good agent.

A competent agent will never keep chattering on the way back from a client from afar. Andy pushed the car door open, Mr. Daniel Sandler, I formally suggest that you kick this useless agent.

Miss Andy, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?

I'm more interested in Darwin's theory of evolution.

Daniel is happy to see the cousins ​​bickering. He is indeed a little tired and needs to pick up.

Of course, Cusa will not arrange any specific work today, so after Daniel is seated, he just briefly introduces some recent movies that can be fought for.

I think now you can go and audition for all the movies if the role is right. We really want to thank Ridley Scott, what's your relationship with him?

Very good, he even invited me to participate in his next film. Daniel shook his head, It's a story about the Mogadishu war, and the script is half written.

Are you interested?

If the script fits, why not?

Protagonist?

Maybe you have to wait for the script to come out before you can decide on the role. Let's talk about it later. Let me see your production list.

Kusa pointed him to a name, This.

Hotel Rwanda? My God, MGM is going to make this? Daniel's shock was not without reason. Although Hotel Rwanda is just an ordinary movie title, the story it tells is unusual. Perhaps it is a The story is flippant - it's actually a grim history. One fifth of the world's population disappeared in the last two months of the first half of 1994, and nearly one million people lost their lives. This is a huge disaster in human history.

The role they give you is that of a recorder—a photojournalist, not too important.

If it can be arranged, it's no problem to spare a month to do this work. Daniel handed back the brief script to Kusa, It's very meaningful to be able to participate in such a movie.

I also think so, at least when you want to do charity in Africa in the future, you can learn from others.

Daniel glanced at him, Kusa, you are such a blunt and annoying person. In the face of such a history, even if you think of something else in your heart, you shouldn't say it.

Kusa laughed out loud, Yes, Daniel, you are doing very well. You are becoming more and more like a big Hollywood star. You are kind, compassionate, and radiant.

Okay, let me look at something else. This is, Bourne?
