Ace Hollywood

Denzel Washington's performance was praised by unanimous praise. The performance of the new Oscar-winning actor in "Training Day" is very different from the powerful and compassionate expression in "Hotel Rwanda". "This shows that he is indeed one of the best actors in this era, especially among black actors, and he is an unquestionable banner."

The evaluation of Daniel is basically mentioned in one or two sentences, and there is no room for praise or derogation, because Edward Zwick did concretize the role of this European and American reporter into a camera. This innovative design makes the whole The film has a very directional point of view - that is how Westerners view the disaster in the film. Some clips are presented directly from Daniel's point of view, which many North American viewers have experienced. But for Daniel, although there are not too many appearances, basically it can only be regarded as a large-scale trick-but as an investor, he still occupies a considerable space in the report of the film. After all, his last The first investment film is "Greek Wedding", which has a North American box office of 400 million US dollars and is approaching a global box office of 600 million US dollars.

Although everyone knew that Hotel Rwanda couldn't have such a miracle, who said it couldn't have other surprises?

The data shows that the box office trend of "Hotel Rwanda" is in line with the routine, and the appeal of Denzel and Daniel makes it stand out among the independent producers, but compared with the commercial films of the big studios, it is still incompetent. .

"It will be almost 60 million to 80 million in the end." When communicating with MGM that day. Daniel gave his own precautionary estimate, which may be his record low at the box office so far. Even "Campus Blues" has more than 85 million, and the rest of the films have over 100 million performances.

"If you can win a best actor tomorrow, then I don't think 100 million can't be expected." Helen Dele's tone made Daniel smile. Indeed, he has won two Oscars in the past three years. It's a gimmick that deserves a lot of hype anyway.

...

Miramax threw an Oscar eve party the night of Hotel Rwanda's release.

There were not a few Oscar nominees in attendance. Daniel Day-Lewis, Shama Hayek, u2 and, of course, Daniel Sandler's attendance was the most anticipated.

"Chicago" won the Golden Globes. And Daniel, who played two fiery blockbusters, got nothing. If there is no conflict between the two sides, it would be unbelievable.

But seeing Harvey putting on a smile and hugging Daniel, and then introducing him to him very affectionately, no one could see that there was filth between the two.

Life is like a stage, everything depends on acting.

And this is also the first time Daniel and Harvey met after the Golden Globe Awards. Although after Weinstein decided to concede defeat, Daniel's PR team headed by Triver had extremely close and frequent contact with Harvey, but he himself and Weinstein had very close and frequent contact with Harvey. The Ernstein brothers never met. This is of course part of the strategy. For example, now, after they chatted with each other in a warm atmosphere, it was difficult for Harvey to imagine such an "old and cunning" young man. It will really smash the Golden Globes sign regardless, and then they will be disgraced under the sign.

Maybe, everything is acting?

Of course, all the considerations are unnecessary, except to prepare for the next encounter.

"What does it feel like to meet the Senator?" Harvey greeted the young Hayek. The same goes for Daniel next to him.

No one approached ignorantly, and everyone knew that two people needed a little space.

Senator Harvey said. Of course, John McCain, the old gentleman seems to think that Daniel can bring him a lot of attention, which gives him a greater say in policy, or is irritated by Daniel's "long and short theory". So the recent signs of holding on to Daniel are very serious. For example, "Rwanda Hotel", which was just launched today, was actually targeted by the old John who was dealing with thousands of machines or "chickens" every day.

“My wife visited Rwanda in 1994, at the height of the massacre, and the situation there was completely different from what was depicted in the movie. Obviously, some producers and investors changed their attitudes to suit a certain attitude. The truth. This is clearly disrespectful and offensive to the millions who died, and I don't think Hollywood should tolerate this."

McCain said so in an interview.

But what is particularly interesting is that his wife, Cindy, did travel to Rwanda in 1994, but not at the "heaviest massacre" as he said, but after the massacre subsided. This is simply a target for Daniel. In tomorrow's newspaper, the heavyweight in the Republican Party will enjoy the thrill of being slapped in the face, and Daniel's box office expectations for "Hotel Rwanda" have also been pushed up a lot— - McCain's popularity is comparable to that of most Hollywood stars, and there are many opponents.

For Harvey's teasing, Daniel did not intend to hide his actions.

"Tomorrow, Mr. Senator may not be in a good mood. The reason why I am not so popular is probably because I always pay for what I have to pay. It is a bad habit."

"Daniel, I envy you sometimes, Cusa and Triver, for being so capable. His attempt to build his own connections from Weinstein's network is remarkable."

Daniel didn't feel embarrassed at all when his plan was exposed in person.

This time the Golden Globes black hands decided to concede, and Triver was able to tap into the network of veterans like the Weinstein Brothers, Scott Rudin and Alexander Payne — even though no one would be open to him. The heart is open, but with a thread, it is enough for the rich and powerful Triver to develop his own network system.

Since this time, there has been one more black hand in Hollywood, and the Oscar judges also have a new way to make money.

As for Harvey finding this out, who cares?

The more chips you have in your hand, the less you need to care about the attitudes of others.

"I've been thinking about giving them a salary increase recently, so, Harvey, do you agree with this?" Daniel indifferently exchanged a glass of champagne from the waiter walking around at the party, "I recently wanted to expand the dd movie. The size of the business, seriously Harvey, if you and Bob are uncomfortable at Disney, consider coming to me, it's definitely a great deal."

Even Harvey, who has been in Hollywood for many years, heard Daniel's poaching so lightly, and it took a few seconds to react.

Then his laughter startled a large area, and Daniel stood on the side, with a bigger smile than usual.

It seems that they really made a very funny joke.

"How much are you going to invest in dd Pictures? 10 million? 50 million? Bob and I are more than that. You must know that ten years ago, Disney spent more than 80 million when it bought Miramax."

"200000000!"

"what?"

Daniel smiled, "I will inject 200 million into the Daniel Investment Department of dd Pictures to acquire IPs with value for filming, including best-selling books, TV dramas, etc. At the same time, I will further expand the scale and personnel composition of dd Pictures. I hope to have my own director, screenwriter, photographer, etc. Harvey, this amount of money is certainly not enough to buy Miramax, but I don't think even Miramax will have 200 million in cash waiting to be bought. Spend it out. The conflict between you and Dick is nothing new in Hollywood, and I don't think your odds are really high."

Although under the cover of the win-win situation of "Chicago" box office reputation, it seems that the cooperation between Disney and the Weinstein brothers is still seamless. But the rift between the two sides is too big to mend, and even "Chicago" itself is part of that rift. When Disney acquired Miramax, in order to balance the attitude of the headquarters, Miramax agreed that the production direction of Miramax would be small-budget movies, but in recent years, with the continuous success of Harvey and Bob, Miramax is no longer satisfied. Yu made a small investment. They hope to be close to the mainstream film industry and do some large projects of more than 60 million yuan. Moreover, with the rise of special effects technology and the substantial increase in publicity costs, the increase in production costs is an irreversible trend. Lamax doesn't want to miss out, and on this point, they have a fundamental conflict with Disney Pictures.

The two sides may break up at any time.

Daniel knew that that point was in October 2005, but with a little push, any earlier changes were possible.

Although Harvey was invited on a whim, Daniel did have intentions for it, but with the lessons the Weinstein brothers had learned at Miramax, it was unlikely that the two would continue to accept someone leading them.

"You are too surprising." Harvey is still unbelievable for the 200 million.

Daniel turned his shoulders, "It's my honor."

...

"I will pay 20 million yuan in advance to the headquarters to expand the scale, and then start the project of the investment department. In addition, it is necessary to establish a department within dd to connect with Weta Digital~www.readwn.com~ The cooperation between us should be more Smooth." Daniel was eating breakfast, and David was sitting in front of him with newspapers on the table.

The papers are all about McCain's face.

"McCain lied"

"The Rwanda Scam Ten Years Later"

"..."

Most of the media investigated the timing of Cindy's visit to Rwanda, and there is no doubt that Cindy arrived after the massacre, not McCain's previous claim.

"The hoax was exposed, and it was not the 'Hotel Rwanda' producers who took advantage of the Rwandan genocide, but the 'reputable' Senator McCain — 'This is unforgivable,' in McCain's own words." --"New York Times". (To be continued)
