Ace Hollywood

Chapter 112: Horror film? Romance?

Daniel did it deliberately, and it did make him easily gain the favor of Gore—this kind of deliberate ingratiatingness that does not involve interests is invincible in Hollywood, because no one knows who is the one who asks for others in the end.

According to the plan, Jerry decided on the project, then the script, and then the director, and it may not be possible to find Gore until early next year. Daniel didn't know what ultimately moved Bruckheimer, so he decided to use Gore Verbinski, who finished "The Bell in the US." But there is no doubt that Daniel's courtship today will never be considered an attempt to "Pirates of the Caribbean", who can predict all this? nobody.

In the second half of the party, Harvey took time to take Daniel to visit a lot of senior actors, photographers, editors, film critics, etc.-their shared identity is that they are closely related to the Oscar judges, or they are themselves, then they are to someone. These judges have a strong influence.

"Daniel, do you need me to send you movie tickets?"

Gore reminded Daniel to watch "Dangerous Lover" when he said goodbye. The two seem to be good friends. At least the media can use such wording to write reports. Gore Verbinski's friend Daniel **** heads to theaters to support….

"Although I am poor, I will always squeeze out a movie ticket no matter what, even if I am hungry a few times."

Gore made a phone gesture and got into his used Ford.

Daniel turned around and hugged Harvey Weinstein, who came to say goodbye, "Thank you, Harvey."

"Don't do this, I hope it ends well."

"Will do."

……

"Gore, although I said good things about you, let me tell you the truth. Brad and Julia are indeed beautiful. I think Brad only has sparks with men."

The film was released for a few days, and the box office was not ideal.

Daniel went to the Los Angeles theater to support the film, and was also photographed by the media. Although he responded by saying, "It's great, the story is wonderful," but he was really sleepy watching.

"We spent too much of our budget to pay them both," Gore, of course, knew the movie wasn't going to turn out well, complaining to Daniel over the phone, "Brad is not funny at all, Julia. It looks a bit silly, I don't understand why they are invited to act, when I was invited to direct, I didn't say that I would invite a big star."

Daniel could realize that Gore Verbinski was grumbling.

The addition of Brad and Julia really ruined the movie. The script is actually pretty good, but the addition of these two not only failed to increase the box office by virtue of its appeal, but also hindered Gore's creation and character shaping.

"Next time I make a movie, I will definitely insist on choosing a suitable protagonist."

"Of course, remember to find me next time you make a movie."

This made Gore amused, "Yes, Daniel, do you know that Midnight Bell?"

"You mean that Japanese horror movie?"

"Yes, I want to remake it, how about it, are you interested?"

Daniel was stunned. He really didn't expect Gore to be such a willful guy. He said that the collaboration would soon lose a movie.

"Are you serious? Gore."

"Of course, to be honest, the investment in this movie is not small, but it is just a remake, and it is unlikely to win any awards."

Daniel asked Gore to send him the script, and he decided to read it before replying to him.

He knew that the box office of "The Bells of the Midnight in the US" was not low, but he seemed to remember that the film was developed from the perspective of the heroine. Daniel was a little hesitant about whether it was necessary to make such a film.

……

"Why do you look at this film differently?"

Cusa flipped through the script that Gore sent. It was a wonderful horror movie, but to be honest, it was of no use to Daniel.

Daniel couldn't tell Cusa that Gore Verbinski was going to direct Pirates of the Caribbean, and he didn't want to miss it.

"I just think it's good to be exposed to some new types, isn't it?"

"Your play is broad enough." Cusa's eyes were like looking at a playful child, "Fat football player, ancient Roman emperor, transformed lawyer, and super agent, yes, there is also a The elf prince, and now there's a WWII pianist."

Daniel is speechless, too good is also a problem.

"So, don't you agree?"

"Of course, if you're willing to take the time to make a new movie, you might as well make this one." Cusa handed over a script, "From Tom Hanks' IFC."

Daniel turned to the first page.

"five million?"

Daniel has not seen such a small investment movie for a long time.

"Are you kidding me, Cusa?"

"No, Daniel, I've communicated with Rita Wilson, oh, she's Hanks' wife, this script is an autobiographical story of a Greek-Canadian woman, and Rita also has Greek ancestry."

"So, Tom gave her five million to play with?"

"The script is good and interesting. Although the author asked for the project to be full of risks, it is still worth investing in."

"Invest?"

Daniel finally got serious and stopped talking to Cusa.

"David doesn't have the ability to make another film independently after investing in blogger, but if he insists on doing this, this is a good opportunity, you have this condition now, Rita agrees with you to join the investment ranks, five million , so that the budget can be enlarged to 10 million.”

"How much are they going to give my salary?"

Cusa raised a finger, "One million?"

"Uh……"

"One hundred thousand?"

Cusa still didn't nod.

"It won't be 10,000, right? Oh my god, I had 10,000 dollars to shoot "School Blues"."

"No, the ten-point share, the box office share, is not a surplus."

"Equal to an investment of one million?" Daniel tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that the price was still low.

Cusa Damon detested Daniel's behavior of restricting the speed of his brain today, "Five million is the investment limit, IFC can't agree to you as a big investor, and the share is another calculation."

Daniel stuck out his tongue when he saw Cusa's frantic look.

"This script is a bit familiar~www.readwn.com~ eh? Have you seen it? Nia Vardalas once made it into a one-man show, maybe you have seen some comments on the Internet."

"Greek wedding?"

Daniel's memory was stirred by the bold print on the outside of the script.

Greece, wedding, Nia Vardals...

Daniel's eyes suddenly opened wide.

He can't remember the specific circumstances of the film, but he remembers that it has a title: the highest-grossing romantic comedy in North American film history!

"Take it and do as you just said. I don't have any opinion."

Daniel's 180-degree turn surprised Cusa. Although Daniel's idiot performance was not his usual level before, he made such a quick decision, and involved an investment of five million and a risky payment method. , Daniel's decision was too hasty anyway.

"Should I ask David?"

"If he doesn't agree, we can invest it ourselves, five million, and we can patch it together, or we can take out a loan. We can't get it together. That's the decision, Kusa, you can finalize this cooperation as soon as possible."

"He plans to start filming in Canada after the Oscars. You have no problem?"

Daniel thought for a while and gave a positive answer.

(The shooting time of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has been adjusted. Thank you for your support. The anniversary of streaking around for a whole month has had a greater impact on me than I thought. Ashamed, the book may not have the chance to be on the shelves, and it is considered to be put down. an obsession.)
