When Triver learned that The New York Times was going to write a story for Daniel, Daniel asked him to contact Dewen, and after paying a substantial fee, Dewen wrote the story as positive anyway. It has been actively reported. Although the New York Times, as the newspaper with the largest circulation, has always been objective about Daniel's information, it is not easy to get close this time. The US dollar has played a role, and at the same time, it has always been good with Daniel. The image is inseparable.

This is also part of the Consolidation Action.

When the dark horse attitude of "Legal Blonde" came out, the number of screens in the first three days was 40 million, and the number of screens increased in the next week, and with the current word of mouth and evaluation, imdb remained at around 8.3, which is not good. It is more likely to fall below 7 points, but this is not a diving score. What does this mean? Using the most conservative curve to estimate, "Legal Blonde" will break through 100 million US dollars in North America, with an investment of 20 million. 100 million box office, this is a big profit, and it can even be regarded as one of MGM's films with the highest return on investment in recent years.

With this shareholder wind, the Daniel team will make Daniel a real A-level star without any shortcomings.

Positive or at least neutral reports and promotions by authoritative media such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, News, and People. Of course, negative reports by Entertainment Weekly are also part of their influence, and they don’t need to pay for this.

Actions also include what to do next.

buy house.

Daniel was on vacation in a foreign country, and Melissa came forward to set the purchase intention to avoid irritating conservatives - although a big star must have a mansion, this is an established impression. But at the same time, you can't make others feel like a person who covets enjoyment, so he hides. This is actually a very effective measure. As long as you don't personally participate in a specific action, people are always willing to be more forgiving to you.

In the end, Daniel chose a sea view villa in Malibu, which covers an area nearly five times larger than the current rented one. Sixteen parking spaces, an outdoor swimming pool, dense shrubs and tall landscape trees isolate it, and the other side faces the sea. , There is a natural white sandy beach.

This is a real mansion, even among A-level stars, it is considered above average.

The price of $10.4 million is also jaw-dropping.

The expression "spending tens of millions" is enough to stimulate people's various senses, which is their purpose.

When the news of Daniel buying a mansion was mixed in with the news that "Legal Blonde" broke 50 million, 60 million, and 70 million, there was a lot of buzz. The team announced Daniel's new film plan, cooperating with Roman Polanski on "The Pianist". More than 20 years have passed since Polanski's old story. Super director, no one doubts this.

Indifferent to this level of director's important work of the hero, it is not enough to choose Adrien Brody who is not on the edge of A coffee, and now chooses Daniel Sandler, of course, it is enough to blow a good one. Got it.

It is also "Los Angeles Times", written by Jones himself, excitingly written about Polanski's glorious achievements, and exaggerated the special significance of "The Pianist" to the director and its own special significance, giving readers the impression , After all, this work is Polanski's most important work, so Daniel, who plays the leading role, has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and therefore Daniel is a famous and capable Hollywood star.

Shortly after the announcement, Lionsgate and MGM announced that they were launching a long-planned project, Hotel Rwanda.

Daniel had seen the book a long time ago, but because of its particularity and low commerciality, the plan has never entered the actual operation stage. This time, MGM and Lionsgate decided to promote it, but it was actually Daniel's opinion. Under the current situation, he will participate in it and participate in the investment - this is not a commercial film, DD Films should not have the ability to invest in such a film at present, but he does intend to make this film, and decides to promote it as soon as possible , because he knows that the corresponding subject matter will have greater social and commercial benefits than other times after what will happen next.

Despite being strongly suppressed by "Jurassic Park 3", it ranked second in the second full week, and then under the following series of strong films of "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" and "Rush Hour 2", "Law" Political Pretty shot to No. 4 on the weekly box office charts. However, from the absolute value of the box office and the decline curve, it is actually much more ideal than expected because of the difference in the crowd.

When Daniel returned to Los Angeles after his 20-day holiday, Legally Blonde had already reached a super-high box office of $100 million. According to the previous sharing agreement, Daniel took 5% of the surplus, and MGM The North American box office of "Pretty Beauty" can be said to take a lot of advantage - the profit share, and it is only the surplus share of the North American box office. In fact, it is really quite insincere, and many movies cannot make profits at the North American box office. But no matter what, it was unexpected to have a sharing agreement in the first place.

According to the gradient agreement signed by MGM and the major theater chains, the film side will get 70% in the first week and the second week, 60% in the next two weeks, and then the remaining two months of release will be divided into half, and then the film side will get 30%. According to this accounting method, MGM can win more than 60 million of the 87.78 million US dollars in the first week and the second week, after deducting the investment of 20 million and the issuance of nearly 5 million, the surplus is 35 million, and 5% of it is 1.75 million, and it is expected to get this number in the future.

In Daniel's own words, it's better than getting a fixed salary of three million yuan.

And these incomes didn't go into Daniel's pocket. These shares - nearly 3.5 million, plus 1.5 million that Daniel promised to pay, a total of 5 million will be invested in "Rwanda Hotel".

The second day he came back, the schedule he arranged was to discuss this investment from DD Pictures.

"Denzel Washington was invited, Edward Zwick was invited to direct, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com invited Charles Levitt to adapt the script."

This is the suggestion put forward by Daniel.

"Denzel Washington's contract should be signed quickly. I am very optimistic about "Training Day"."

"Do you think he can be crowned emperor?" Daniel's old friend Helen Dele is now proud.

Daniel nodded without hesitation.

Helen was noncommittal, Edward should really be good at this kind of subject matter, he had no opinion on this, "Charles Levitt? Why him."

"It's just a feeling, so I give a suggestion, other suitable people can also." Daniel proposed Edward and Charles, because of a "Blood Diamond" a few years later, he thought that the work was very important for "Rwanda Hotel" There are good additions. The current script attempts to describe the war from a mild perspective, but the obvious shortcoming is the lack of power and the lack of plot power, which Daniel thinks must be made up.

"According to this card, the investment amount cannot be less than 50 million. I think this will be a very easy to lose money deal." At the end of the discussion, Helen said with a smile.

MGM has prepared about 20 million for this project, and the same is true of Lionsgate. Daniel invested a total of 10 million with 5 million in cash plus 5 million in fixed remuneration, so 50 million is an established figure.

On August 11, Daniel **** announced that he will serve as a member and ambassador of the Anti-War and Peace Committee of the Coalition for Equal Power.
