Ace Hollywood

Juno is scheduled for December 5, but premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8. 【

As far as North America is concerned, Toronto is actually much more important than the top three in Europe. In many cases, the popularity of a film in Toronto often indicates whether it can get more box office in North America.

Ellen Page, Michael Cera, Jason Reitman...the nameless ones.

In addition, Daniel himself has never made a statement on this project, so it has not received more attention. It only involves the subject of teenage pregnancy, which is somewhat sensitive, but compared to many small productions that take a slanted edge, this is sensitive. Degree is nothing.

Therefore, when this work triggered discussions in Toronto, the American media was caught off guard.

Local newspapers such as the Vancouver Sun, Toronto Star, and even the Globe and Mail, a new national newspaper, reported more details and a more positive attitude.

I think I'm going to be attracted to that kind of tricky and kind of cool girl.

Although the subject matter is serious, the difficulties faced by the young protagonists are also huge. But the extraordinary work of the director and the protagonists keeps the whole story from being immersed in clichéd anxiety. Juno uses her own cool Vigorous and powerful, reshaping the tone of the story - Ellen Page, yes, that's the name, the image of Juno, who will make her the new star of Hollywood.

An unexpected, interesting, and thought-provoking story about a young girl - from the screenwriter, director, to the lead actor, they are all talented. Of course, the investor may also be added, and that is Daniel Sandler.

“I had to attend the premiere of Juno because I missed another production. Otherwise, the boss would probably tell me to leave. But I didn’t expect that this small-budget girl movie shot in Vancouver could be so different.” Usually, there's an emotional tumbling inside of me, but an uncontrollable smile. My love for Juno is so straight up, yes. She's just a cool girl to love.

I was just amazed at my good luck, to encounter such a good movie at the premiere that I accidentally walked into. However, it dawned on me when I realized that the film title image belonged to DD Films. It was originally financed by Daniel Sandler, who, I must say, has delivered another masterpiece.

This Canadian tabloid reporter has rarely gained a lot of attention on f2f, together with the newspaper she works for. Because the encounter is indeed a bit bizarre. Because I missed a certain movie, I had to go to see Juno in order to do business for my boss. As a result, I encountered the most discussed movie at this Toronto Film Festival.

After the uproar in the Canadian media, the American media quickly followed up.

To be honest, from the actors to the director, there is nothing worth reporting, and finally they have to focus on the subject matter - teenage pregnancy.

This is an easily debated question.

Abortion or anti-abortion. This is a big problem in the US.

The promotion period of Juno also came, for this kind of controversy. dd Pictures is happy to see it happen. Although this will definitely offend some people, the problem will not be too big, because Juno still gave birth to the child after all, and her parents are also quite reliable during the whole process, and she herself is impeccable - she is always strong . Whether it's seducing Brick, throwing Brick away, deciding whether to have a baby, finding a home for the baby, etc.,

This meets the expectations of young people.

when touching on sensitive topics. Jason's choice is different from that of the sixth generation directors in China. What Jason created is still a beautiful American dream-Juno Niu's righteousness, her family is tolerant to her, she can decide everything on her own, etc. These things are not taken for granted. Now the United States is governed by the Republican Party, which is known for its conservatism. Few families really feel so relieved about their underage daughters.

On the other hand, Chinese directors like to dig into the bloody and rotten wounds, which is actually not a very smart way, and it is difficult to gain approval.

...

In early September, the news hotspot related to Daniel was definitely not Juno.

Buy Marvel!

After a few rounds of contacts between DD Films and Marvel, the two parties agreed to start discussions on this issue. From the perspective of Marvel shareholders, being able to sell Marvel is an option. After all, none of them are obsessed with the company. For professional people, capital is what they pursue, since someone is willing to buy it, especially now that Marvel is in debt.

Marvel's sales channel itself is getting narrower and narrower, and its income is getting lower and lower. A large number of peripheral companies are also gaining and losing money. Marvel's business is not so smooth, and being able to sell it is of course one of the options. Executives including Kevin and Avi have nothing to resist when the company is sold to DD Pictures. Everyone can see the glory of MGM today.

Black Swan, High School Musical 2, Dancing Out of My Life, and My Big Gay Wedding co-operated with dd Films and other films have achieved good box office results, continuing the great momentum of last year .

Of course, this does not mean that the deal between the two parties will be concluded soon.

The news came out before the official negotiations started, and it was almost certainly done by the board of directors of Marvel, to attract more buyers and get a higher price tag, which is their natural purpose.

The reaction from all walks of life in Hollywood was very violent.

After digesting MGM, Daniel set his sights on Marvel—a comic company with many superhero images. Obviously, DD Pictures and Daniel are optimistic about superheroes, even if Invincible Hulk lost Great, but the success of Spider-Man 3 may still be motivating Daniel's decision.

Let's see, in the past two years, Disney has dealt with Miramax, acquired Pixar, and Robert Iger's layout for Disney has begun to take shape. Then let's look at Daniel Sandler, dd Pictures, Michael Kors Mei Pictures, then DD Animation and Weta Digital, and now they have extended their hands to Marvel. His layout format is not inferior to that of Disney Group. industry, is indeed stronger than Disney. Realizing this, it's hard to believe, but it's the truth, both parties have huge wealth outside of movies, but obviously, dd pictures can get more from other areas of the consortium support.

Maybe this is the future direction of Hollywood, and I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel buys cbs or someday.

The discussions triggered by the acquisition are extensive and intense.

Disney's Robert Iger, who was mentioned by the media, may have more complicated feelings in his heart. Regarding Marvel, Disney has just begun to study whether it wants to include it in its pocket. When its recent failure on The Incredible Hulk still slightly hindered the pace of Disney's work. Although, for the first batch of heroes, except for Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, Disney is more optimistic, but before that, they also held a positive view of Invincible Hulk.

Facts gave them a slap in the face and forced them to be more cautious.

As a result, at this stall, the old rival Daniel Sandler made a move! (To be continued.)
