Ace Hollywood

Daniel quickly looked at the woman in front of him.

A head of long brown hair was set aside in big waves, delicate makeup, serious eyebrows and eyes.

Glad that we had the opportunity to work together.

Hearing this sentence when we first met, Rachel froze for a moment, then understood, and her eyes lit up.

Daniel has no intention of giving her another assessment. Rachel performed very well in the original work, and it can even be said to be the best performance in her career. And since Fernando and Simon both recognized her, Daniel didn't think it was necessary to do more.

Rachel didn't expect this at all.

She thought that today was the ultimate assessment. She accepted the assessment from investors, leading actors, and Hollywood super authority Daniel Sandler, but she didn't expect to be told that she was selected without saying anything.

Sure enough, in the next three hours or so, they had lunch together and talked about their understanding of Justin and Tessa, as well as the love between them.

Rachel did do her fair share of homework.

It was inevitable that this meeting would be photographed. Daniel appeared so ostentatiously now that the paparazzi informants all over Los Angeles would have sold him long ago. Miller could protect his safety, but there was no way to hide him.

Andy, Ferguson and others also suggested that they take some photos with better effects and provide them anonymously to newspapers and websites. At any rate, the fat and water will not flow to thousands of people, but they were suppressed by the cold eyes of Sally and Kusa. But Daniel knew that since then, Trevor has secretly provided a lot of photos to the cooperative media—of course not for personal gain, but as a resource to exchange the other party's position on certain events.

Once the heroine is finalized, the follow-up candidates are very simple.

Basically, it was handed over to the casting director. Fernando is famous for using non-professional actors. This time he couldn’t do what he wanted, but a lot of supporting roles and extras must be local Kenyans. For him, Emphasize the background of the story by using the quintessence of the native. It's a great idea.

Entering May, The Hangover officially entered the North American 200 million club at the end of the fifth week. This pace is surprisingly similar to the original, although this The Hangover was released 4 years earlier. The schedules are not exactly the same, but what is shocking is that the box office figures have hardly changed at all. Daniel is unwilling to think deeply about the reason for this. When I'm just a person, I always unconsciously think that this world may really have some rules that humans can't understand.

The direct impact of The Hangover entering 200 million, in addition to Bradley and other four actors becoming hot, the performance of DD Films this year has also attracted much attention. In the eyes of observers, the main performance of DD Films this year The job must be to acquire MGM, and complete the arrangement of resources and institutional arrangements. It is probably impossible to have the grand occasion of last year.

But at present, the North American box office of The Hangover has reached 200 million in just over a month. Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Colombia and more than a dozen countries were simultaneously released. The film was very popular in Australia and Belgium. With the release in France and Germany, it is obvious that the box office will quickly accumulate, and there is almost no suspense for more than 400 million worldwide. This film will bring DD Films a performance that exceeds that of most independent studios, even including underperforming giants like Paramount. In addition, this year dd film industry is bound to release Chain Saw 2, the investment of the second part is slightly higher than that of the first part,

Because James Wen abdicated to Xian—in fact, he was not active, and his rustiness and lack of ability in the first part were the main reasons. Of course, he is still working on the crew, and Ray Whannell is still the screenwriter, but he bid farewell to the protagonist of the role he didn't like very much. New director Darren Boseman. A young director who is one year older than Daniel took over, and the starring role will be replaced by Donnie Wahlberg. Of course, the most famous movie he has acted in is The Sixth Sense of Spirituality. Cutting down 670 million red films really added points to Downey's establishment.

DD gave the new team a budget of 6 million. Even if the previous work exceeded 100 million worldwide, the box office estimate for the second part of the series is still only 30 million to 50 million. This is an estimate based on the word-of-mouth of the previous work. Although Daniel knows that the second series is not inferior to the first one, there is no need to say it now.

Just The Hangover and Chain Saw 2 can basically give DD Pictures a satisfactory annual box office around the world. DD Films is currently preparing three films. Night at the Museum is mainly the work of Fox. Among the films that DD Films is preparing to produce, Indomitable Action needs Daniel to act, so it is in a state of slow progress, and Last year's Soul Singer was similar. This is a legendary singer's legendary film about John Cash and Joan Carter's career and love story. Although the film is famous, it really came to me when the original character John Cash, a Grammy-winning singer, was still alive. He and his wife Joan hoped that Daniel and Reese Will Suspen came to star in the film version of their biography.

It's easy to be quite Legally Blonde, but it's not.

The performance that impressed John Cash was Gladiator, the Roman emperor portrayed by Daniel, which moved John. He felt that he was similar to this image in many aspects when he was young, so he insisted on asking Daniel to play it. As for Reese, it's also because the character traits she exhibited fit well with Joan Carter.

Fox was very interested in the story, but Daniel was on vacation at the time and really had no plans to make the film.

In September 2003, when John was about to pass away, he entrusted the story to Daniel. Although everything was not known by the media, Daniel was still planning to film it as soon as possible, but this year he really didn’t have time, next year he will obviously enter a new stage of crazy filming up.

Wonderful Night at the Museum, Bourne Bourne and Bourne Shadow 3, these three films have basically been scheduled to be finished next year.

For Fox's Avatar, Daniel actually didn't have much hope for it. For James Cameron, inviting a superstar to join him may not have a big impact on the box office except for a sharp increase in costs. But Avatar is indeed a big piece of fat, and Daniel can only temporarily hold back his itching.

In addition to Moving Forward, the project that David is currently promoting is When Happiness Knocks on the Door, which is also a work adapted from a true story. But it is very difficult to invite suitable actors.

Everyone was almost unanimous but almost all doubted this choice - Will Smith!

Very contradictory.

Everyone from Daniel himself, to David, Melissa, Ferguson, etc., hesitated about this in the process of promoting this project.

The male protagonist must be black, because the real protagonist of the story is a black investor. Of course, he cannot agree to a white person playing himself-that would be too funny.

Then there are not too many choices. If you just choose someone who is almost suitable, of course there are a lot of scripts in the union. In Hollywood, there is no real fairness, although there are some top black male stars, such as Jamie Foxx and Morgan Freeman, who won the Oscar winner and best supporting actor this year, are the most famous among blacks. Actors, in addition, Denzel Washington, who is also an Oscar winner, has an outstanding reputation. But it is quite difficult to count more familiar names. Among them, Will Smith is the most suitable candidate in terms of box office appeal and age.

The only thing that makes people suspicious: he is an action actor, and When Happiness Knocks on the Door is a drama film through and through.

Is his acting skills enough to bear this story? Biopics have always been Hollywood’s favorite, but the film is prone to problems. If it is too serious, it will become a documentary, and if it is too playful, it will be vulgar. Well, actors are also very important. If the performance is not heartfelt and moving enough, it is easy to be seen that the characters and actors are not in harmony—especially in the eyes of insiders, it is very obvious, and one can see that there are two people standing there, one is The actor himself, the other is the character image given by the script. The two people seem to be one, but they are clearly separated from each other. This extremely awkward viewing experience is fatal to the film.

But this will not affect DD Films' invitation to Will Smith, because they can audition, and Daniel has a complete version of Oscar-level vision-if Will can't meet the needs of this role, they can't escape their eyes.

But the problem arose in Will Smith's attitude.

He hesitated for a long time, but still rejected us.

Daniel was a little disappointed about this, but there were not many surprises. As an action superstar, one needs to be very cautious in transitioning, because if you fail, you may be framed in action movies for the rest of your life. Of course, it does not mean that action movies cannot produce superstars , but no ambitious person would want to stop there. Moreover, as I get older, I will become unable to continue shooting action movies, and it is difficult to persist in torture-style body maintenance and physical training.

Rafael Alabama is one of the producers of When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door, and he is responsible for the work of contacting Will.

In the past few years, many talents have joined dd film industry, and dd film industry has a bad habit. The films produced by dd rarely invite outsiders to produce the film. This role is actually very important, but generally Generally speaking, some department heads within DD Films, or Ferguson, Melissa, and even David, can all step in. Generally speaking, this helps the director communicate with the management, especially when the management has a strong influence on the film. under understanding. But this situation needs to change as the company grows bigger and bigger. Professional development in Hollywood has its advantages. (To be continued.)
