Ace Hollywood

On July 7, the North American box office of Bad Teacher officially exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeded 1.5 billion. On the 5th of the previous two days, High School Musical was released on the 7th day, and before ushering in the second weekend, it also broke through the 100 million mark, and it undoubtedly won the box office champion of the first week. Superman Returns The 84 million is completely pressed in the second place.

The fanatical whirlwind of High School Musical has also attracted much attention in various media.

The Revival of the Musical

The theme of youth campus has become the next hot topic

'High School Musical' is expected to exceed 200 million box office and set the highest box office record for similar films

Renaissance? Or unique madness?

All kinds of interpretation and analysis, about the market, about art, about the subject matter, about the studio...everything that can find news points has been discovered by major newspapers, weekly magazines, and Internet media. The audience actually bought these overwhelming reports, and they seem to be eager to know everything about the movie.

Daniel Sandler's personal interview invitation has become a Pulitzer Prize for major media companies to compete for. At this time, who can get Daniel Sandler's exclusive interview is like having the official permission of this hot topic. Subconsciously believe that the news released through this media is more credible, which is natural for building the credibility of a media. Generally speaking, a media builds its reputation through various social events, just like Washington The Post became famous because of the Watergate incident, and Newsweek became famous by reporting that the US military desecrated the Koran in Guantanamo.

When High School Musical has become a phenomenon-level work, it is not surprising that the media regards it as a new moment of fame.

Considering that the box office of High School Musical is currently not as good as The Social Network, The Hangover, Bourne Shadow and Pirates of the Caribbean, it is far less than Greek Wedding. So the frenzy of attention it caused is quite surprising, but critics think this is not surprising. First of all, the influence of High School Musical should have begun to accumulate since the High School Musical Cup began in March. With the viral promotion of MGM and DD, and the participation of young people with the highest public opinion participation, this has created the scene at this moment. not to mention. Compared with fantasy blockbuster R-rated movies, youth musicals are more likely to arouse discussion, participation and attention. It is especially suitable for the social age. Thousands of show crowds and millions of followers are all for this craze Fill Gava.

Daniel's interviews, though, have historically been the hardest to come by.

Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Variety Show, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today... and even the programs of major TV stations, from the editor-in-chief to the general editor, from the anchor of the TV network to the boss behind it. Daniel's team received countless phone calls, emails and face-to-face negotiations. Unfortunately, when Ms. Huffington stood in front of Cusa and told him.

This is Daniel's own website, shouldn't he support us?

Kusa could only surrender.

So this interview, unexpectedly, but also expected, fell into the pocket of Huffington Post.

It was unexpected because the current influence of Huffington Post is still far inferior to other big newspapers, not to mention that its main focus is still the Internet, and in this field. Obviously, the popularity of High School Musical has reached the point where it cannot rise. Considering that Daniel hopes to gain more influence and attention for High School Musical from traditional print media readers,

Picking The Huffington Post is not too shrewd.

As expected, as Huffington said. As the media of Plutos Holdings, it is nothing surprising that they got Daniel's exclusive interview. Murdoch also generally does not accept unexpected media interviews on the Fox cable network.

Moreover, this choice can effectively avoid offending too many media.

If Daniel chooses the more familiar Washington Post, then it is very likely that other media that have maintained a close relationship with them will be farther away, and the media that are already far away will become trouble .

Arianna Huffington interviewed Daniel herself, and the questions were pretty broad.

From the idea of ​​High School Musical Cup to the initial investment intention of High School Musical movie. From the social layout of Plutos Investment Company to the China strategy of Daniel's capital. From Daniel's own liberal tendencies to the stories of him and his two girlfriends, from his views on different identities such as actors, film investors, businessmen, and well-known topic leaders. To how he coordinates his work in all aspects... Almost all related issues are included, and anything you want to know from Daniel is in the question.

Of course, Daniel would not answer one by one, many of which could not be said.

He gave a general answer to the topics related to High School Musical.

The script itself is that I came up with the idea, and then the company's screenwriter wrote the final version. So I have full confidence in this subject matter, and I believe it will be liked, from the very beginning. But it The attention I got today was beyond my expectation. I didn’t expect to be recognized by so many young friends and so many people would resonate with my thoughts. This is a wonderful experience. As for the High School Musical Cup, Dang Mei Yeah when I said MGM should start working on the TV show, I thought, why not? Since I think it's a good idea, why not make it into a talent show? Maybe it will make The amazing chemistry proved that my decision was correct.

As for the work of Plutos Investment Company, he just mentioned it in a word.

Plutos is committed to investing in potential companies and industries, not limited to social media, let alone the United States or China.

Daniel completely put aside his personal political views and his girlfriend's story, and ignored them at all. Instead, a longer comment was posted on a public thread.

Since I have been UNHCR ambassador, I have been to four or five refugee camps, and seeing their poor living conditions and mental conditions, it is indeed easy to make people wonder what we should do? We are concerned about areas outside our country. Do Kazuto have obligations? Do we need to act more decisively? Should we feel guilty?

So these questions are not very pleasant, but sometimes you need to think about them, especially when you already have a lot. Similarly, you are also obliged to spread your ideas, let more people understand you, and work together to promote the development of this world in a better direction.

I talked about religious extremism earlier, and many people are disgusted by it. I know of course there will be some debate, but I feel compelled to say that because I see this trend, extremist speech is rampant on sites like f2f google yahoo. Can I keep silent? I can't allow myself to be silent when I see many teenagers posting jihadist rhetoric online. I have to tell everyone, what is going on in the world in my eyes?

The world is not safe, for anyone, no one is completely safe, whether it is Washington, protected by a strong US military, or Baghdad, which has fallen to the flames of war.

Regarding the status of his many side jobs, Daniel smiled and attributed the credit to his team.

We have a great team, Cusa Melissa Trevor, my agent, Mark David Javier Meyer, these guys have great business talent, of course, at DD Films and Michael Kors There are a large number of excellent film professionals in Meizhong, and the best Internet technology talents of this era sit in f2fmb. They have done more work, which is amazing.

This interview has been rare in recent years, rich in content, and a personal interview with Daniel Sandler.

Daniel seems to be taking advantage of the heat this time to promote his views on public topics such as national security, international assistance, anti-terrorism and anti-war, which makes people wonder whether he has plans to enter politics. But soon, Daniel's team publicly denied this statement on mb, saying that all his remarks on these topics came from pure thoughts: hope that the United States and the world will be better and safer.

In all kinds of procrastinating political speeches, such an unequivocal denial is enough to show that Daniel really has no plan for everyone's speculation.

Of course, the interview did get a lot of attention, but there was no way to change its tone in the midst of High School Musical's mainstream craze.

Throughout the end of June and the beginning of July, in addition to wearing infrared and adding a bed sheet, more and more basketball teams changed their names to Wildcats or Los Angeles Wildcats, Santa Monica Wildcats and Hollywood Wildcats. , the business of dance halls is increasing, and there are more and more schools holding singing and dancing competitions.

On July 11, when MGM launched the new R-rated film Magic Mike like a bombardment, High School Musical rushed to 1.6 billion at the North American box office, and the global box office exceeded 2.2 billion, continuing its youthful career. man school boom.

But before that, the official launch of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest completely defeated Bad Teacher, Superman Returns and High School Musical in the film's public opinion field.

The last time Daniel had a commercial film released was The Social Network in 2004, two years later, and Social Network is not strictly a purely commercial blockbuster, its purpose is too strong, when mb was At the moment of listing, the film was almost produced as a road show, even though its box office surpassed most commercial films, and its Oscar record also surpassed countless literary and artistic awards.

So strictly speaking, Bourne Shadow 2 is Daniel's last commercial production as the actor with the most commercial value. To be continued.
