Ace Hollywood

Hey baby, are we going to eat French tonight?

I made an appointment with Jessica on the time and place tonight, and Andy and Melissa can also go home to spend time with their families, especially Draco, who obviously regrets it now, and he complained to Daniel several times, Melissa is really too He was so busy that he hardly saw his daughter. But after Cusa returned, Melissa felt a lot easier, so Drake didn't have the heart to get her away from Daniel's team yet.

In fact, for this key point, it is impossible to do so. The awards season is not too far away. Drake is an important network resource for Daniel. Big names in the industry are part of Kusa's work.

Nevertheless, Daniel and Jessica have a routine date every Saturday night. They are very busy, especially Daniel, who has been so busy recently that it was originally envisioned that Gladiator will relax after the release, and Jess Sica's plan to go to Florida or the Caribbean for vacation had to be shelved. Fortunately, Jessica's new drama is about to be released, and in October, she also has a lot of promotional schedules.

Every Saturday, the two always take time out of their busy schedules to have a meal together, which is crucial to maintaining a relationship. Physical needs may be overlooked in busy work, but emotional vacancies are sometimes There could be serious consequences.

Are you going to New Zealand soon?

Jessica tore a piece of bread and put it into her mouth, asking inquiringly.

This girl has also become more and more mature in recent months, Horner has been less involved in their relationship, and Jessica's access control has also been cancelled. Obviously, on the one hand, this relationship has been recognized, on the other hand It is also Jessica who is increasingly reassuring her agent and family.

Daniel nodded, Yes, it won't be long, and I have to come back to shoot The Bourne Shadow at the end of October, and I can't delay any longer.

Having said that, Daniel reached out and wiped Jessica's lips, wiping off the jam, I'm sorry, honey, I'm too busy. I must find a time when I'm filming The Spy. Accompany you on vacation, where do you want to go?

Daniel, I understand. Jessica didn't force it, You don't even know that Horna is more concerned about our relationship than I am now, you are the most watched young man in Hollywood, and now is your critical period , you have to work hard to make a movie, or the opportunity will pass by in a flash.

Thank you for understanding, Jessica, you are such a considerate girl.

After dinner, the two left in batches, and then met at the hotel.

The tense body, the enthusiastic response, and the intermittent * * in the ear all made Daniel enjoy a good night.

The young body is attractive.

Daniel is indeed about to go to New Zealand to continue filming the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Until late October, he finished his work there, returned to Los Angeles, and immediately joined the filming of The Bourne. There is also a busy award presentation In the second season, Daniel has to deal with all kinds of judges. This is a new job and it is very challenging for him.

Before that, he had to finish all the finishing work of Legal Blonde in Los Angeles. These tasks have been delayed for some time. Although MGM didn't say anything, their own work should be completed on time. This is a profession As required by morality, Daniel has no intention of becoming a pampered person.

Speaking of MGM, the current Legally Blonde has attracted a lot of attention, and it has become popular in advance. At the beginning, Daniel got 2 million plus 5% of the profit share.

Now it seems a bit prescient. According to expectations, Daniel's salary for this film is basically around 3 million. This salary is very cost-effective in the current view.

According to Kusa's arrangement, Daniel shouldn't take any more movies that simply consume popularity and are less than 8 million.

Therefore, MGM has picked up a bargain that has a price but no market. Therefore, as long as they can accommodate Daniel's itinerary, they will generally not set up obstacles. To a certain extent, MGM wants to cooperate in other films. The desire is stronger than Daniel's. Their financial pressure has always been great, and there have not been any big money-making movies in recent years, and cooperating with stars with high box office freshness is an important guarantee.

During this period, the overseas box office of Gladiator also exceeded 150 million, and the global box office has reached nearly 300 million. For Gladiator with an investment of over 100 million, this is not a huge box office figure. , but in any case, it is a successful investment by Universal - it has made money and has a good reputation. There are not many such films in their library. So far, it still has a high score of 8.7 on IMDB and 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. With the above praise, there is no doubt that Universal has made a classic this time.

Daniel has been number one on the IMDB list for a long time. Under Shanying's brief report and intensive media reports, it is not unimaginable that he surpassed the familiar Russell Crowe. This kind of reaction concerns A high-degree list is always beneficial to new faces.

Yes, a new face. For real movie theater regulars, Daniel is of course a new face. For gossip magazine lovers, Crowe has always been a frequent visitor. Relatively speaking, Daniel is much fresher than Crowe, which is beyond doubt.

There is not much competition between the two, which is good news for Daniel,

It is no secret to many people that Universal and Crowe spent huge sums of money on public relations Oscar. This kind of power public relations, as long as Daniel is swept into the tail of the typhoon, it will have a great impact. Of course, Universal will also play a role. In the final analysis, the box office of Gladiator is what they care about most. If they win the Oscar, then Gladiator will definitely have another wave of box office in the United States and overseas, especially overseas. Small climax, this kind of box office increase of tens of millions, compared to public relations investment, is of course very worthwhile.

After spending another night with Jessica, Daniel got on the plane to New Zealand. There was no way to promote many tasks personally, so he had to hand them over to Kusa and Fred. Under protection, there is no need to worry about leaking commercial secrets.

Daniel, who returned to New Zealand this time, has a different posture than last time. At Auckland Airport, the New Zealand fans who came to pick him up held a sign with the image of Comodius, which was still very eye-catching.

Lena of the Wellington Daily got an interview opportunity, and her boyfriend Josh was very unhappy. He is now completely not a fan of Daniel - as Lena has become a die-hard fan of Daniel.

Daniel accepted a short interview. This is what Francis specially reminded. Being close to the people can strengthen his popularity and image in this small island country. People living in island countries are always a bit stingy. Satisfy their psychology.

Hey, hello. Daniel saw Lena at a glance. The Daily reporter asked him to sign an autograph, and he was also a participant in the elf event. Nice to meet you.

Although trembling with excitement, and all the female reporters around her cast envious glances, Lina still maintained the restraint of a journalist, neither drooling nor screaming crazily.

Yes, very good, Daniel, you are welcome to come to New Zealand again, how is it, how long will this filming be? I remember you seem to be filming Bourne Shadow?

She took the opportunity to ask her own questions. After interviewing Daniel, Tasia, the editor-in-chief of the Wellington Daily and an acquaintance of Peter Jackson and Francis, began to slightly change the direction of the social edition. The dynamics of stars in Oceania also began to appear on the page of Daily.

I am very happy to come to the beautiful New Zealand again. I am very glad that everyone will like Gladiator. Yes, I am here to shoot Lord of the Rings. The time is not very long. It should be finished next month, if it goes well. As for the next job, it is indeed the training and filming of The Bourne, and we need to do some professional training.

After answering three questions selectively, Andy and the security staff began to say thank you continuously while escorting Daniel out of the airport.

This time, the film crew is in the process of intensive filming, and it is not the first time for Daniel to come here, so there is no welcome party, but in getting along, Daniel obviously feels a lot of differences. Except for some familiar actors, many staff members have been more polite to him.

Dominique and Elijah were most interested in his arrival, as was Gandalf Maclean.

Hey, Elf, Hugh Jackman asked me to talk to you, McClain said when he met him.

Of course Daniel knew what he meant.

The Magneto King in X-Men is played by McLean. In fact, he also took time to go back to participate in a lot of publicity work before, and he came back a month earlier than Daniel.

What Daniel understands very well is that the box office curve of X-Men is also an analysis case of Shanying Company. In the first three days of the weekend, there were 57 million, but so far, the total box office has just exceeded 100 million in two months. 50 million, almost being overtaken by Gladiator. Of course, it does not mean that its box office is not good. At least in North America, X-Men with an investment of 75 million will not make more money than Gladiator. less.

7.5 points, for a commercial film, this is not considered low.

Therefore, this is considered a success, which is why McLean talked about it so easily, but now the two sides are fighting in overseas markets, and Gladiator is currently winning, so Hugh Jackman said that it is possible to teach Daniel a lesson Original.

In the end, Daniel had no choice but to be blackmailed by McLean and buy him a drink alone.

This trip brought him countless troubles.
