Ace Hollywood

readx(); After Daniel was resurrected in the United States, at the beginning, he often thought about going back to meet friends and acquaintances, but the longer he stayed in Hollywood, the more blurred his memory about the East Side became. To this day, his memory has been replaced by life in America. Those things in the east, when I think about it occasionally, it feels very strange, and it always feels like watching a movie.

So the idea of ​​going back has not been very strong, and there is really no chance at work.

In the past two years, the progress of the film market has not been small, and Hollywood has begun to pay attention to it, but the market is too closed, and the cultural differences are relatively large, so it is impossible to pay more attention. For example, this time, Disney decided to invite him for a visit. It must be news on the page. It can be said that Hollywood stars of this level have not visited for many years.

The reason why Daniel has to consider one or two is mainly to lay the foundation for future market development. What's more, it is very meaningful that films like Hua Mulan and Kung Fu Panda are actually made together with the Chinese side. After all, he is remarkable. The strong party only needs to share the box office in their country, and internationally, especially in North America, the interests still belong to him.

However, it is not to say that it is just like this. It is only for the "Pirates" platform. It is better to wait for the next "Pirates" or his own film.

The main thing is to go there this time, can I make friends with some people, such as the heads of the two large state-owned enterprises in charge of foreign film distribution.

These still need to be coordinated by Sally. Speaking of which, he has no familiar people in China now. Vivian has met several times, and An Li can still talk, but their influence is also limited. good opportunity.

...

The expectations for Pirates of the Caribbean are much better than when the project was first established.

In the beginning, when Disney decided to go the PG-13 line, everyone was skeptical about the project, because it's hard to imagine a company that only does family movies, children's movies, and cartoons. Suddenly there is a convincing achievement in another field. Although it is said that a film is decided by the director, the producer and the starring, the characteristics of the production company will definitely penetrate in subtly, because they are the bosses. Those who can call the shots need to consider the boss's attitude, otherwise the cooperation may only be like this once, and it is not impossible to change people halfway.

For example, in "Pirates", Gore Verbinski was replaced, although the public statements of both sides were very friendly. But some knowledgeable people must understand what it is for. The biggest possibility is that investors are not satisfied with Gore.

For a while, Johnny Depp was rumoured to be playing Captain Jack - which made it all the more worrying, a director with few movies and a fringe A- in a Tim Burton-esque movie, An investment firm that has never ventured into the field. No matter which forecasting agency, which newspaper, dare not say that they are optimistic about this movie.

However, after Daniel announced that he would pay to join and star.

The situation has changed a bit.

Although Daniel can't compare with Johnny Depp in terms of qualifications, he has passed the test of big productions along the way. And has an Oscar, which is very popular. This kind of actor is more or less reassuring.

Hollywood never sells qualifications.

Goldie Han was nominated for the Golden Globes this year, but almost no one mentioned it. Kate Hudson, her daughter, has a much higher exposure rate than her.

In Hollywood's rules, it's not so much that seniority equals appeal, it's more that seniority equals passing.

Of course this is a bit of a generalization, but there is always some truth to it.

This year, with Weta Digital winning two Oscars. He won the Emperor Oscar, and "Pirates" became popular. Later, "Rwanda", "The Pianist" and "The Fake God" exceeded 100 million in succession. There was more public discussion about Daniel's temporary departure from Hollywood next year. The media and movie fans "missed" the days without him earlier. So much so that his works that have not appeared this year, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Return of the King" are generally bullish.

So many benefits have also given Disney a lot of confidence.

Robert now regrets letting Daniel let go at first. Seeing that these benefits are basically in Daniel's hands, if he can fully participate in the announcement, the insurance factor of "Pirates" will be much higher.

actually. Generally speaking, as a leading actor, and a leading actor who gets a share, Daniel has to cooperate with all of Disney's publicity schedules, generally speaking. Of course, he also has privileges as a celebrity star, it depends on who is the most powerful in the wrestling between the two sides. But even so, it does not mean that Daniel needs to invest his other strengths, contacts, etc., of course he is willing, but this must not be written in the contract.

What's more, it was Disney who squeezed out his investment abruptly, and it is somewhat unrealistic to think that Daniel can invest without any hesitation.

Simply put, for a company of the magnitude of Disney, as long as it is intentional, the publicity can always be satisfactory. The people who should be covered will definitely be covered, and the potential moviegoers who should be strived for will definitely be taken care of.

It's just a fly in the ointment.

...

Before the movie preview.

Everyone was chatting with each other.

They are all old friends. Like Daniel, a popular superstar with several strong films a year, every move, these media may be more familiar than their own family members.

Dedicated paparazzi, coupled with the growing social media MB, the private space of celebrities has been compressed at one time.

Almost a photo goes online, and it can spread in a short period of time. For example, a star like Daniel is more like being stared at by someone with a magnifying glass. No movement can be concealed. This is why he wants to go to Google, but One of the reasons for having to ask them for a formal invitation.

Instead of going sneakily, being discovered, and then attracting suspicion from all over the world, it is better to be generous, and at any rate, there will be less messy thoughts.

Someone posted a photo of Jessica Alba going to the hospital on MB before. In the photo, Jessica had already made a pretty strict disguise, but she still couldn't hide it from the photographer. Simply, no one knew what she was going to see, and the hospital still had professional ethics. In addition, he also said hello to MB - not to say that the love is over, after all, "Pirates" is about to be released, if there is any bad news, he bet that it will definitely involve him in the end.

That sucks.

Jessica escaped, but some young and well-known figures, such as Lindsay Lohan and Robert Downey Jr., were found to be still on drugs, but the treatment of the two was also different, and Lohan was scolded The bottom is upside down, and the image can no longer be damaged. Instead, it was Downey - who had been worse off before, and now seems to be stepping back, at least not breaking the law.

This also made Daniel breathe a sigh of relief. The DD headquarters was limited by financial resources before, and only released "The House Collapses in Love", and Stephen Martin was invited to play the role. Another horror film that David liked, Daniel After the investment department has sufficient funds, it is about to open recently. Downey is one of the main actors. If there is big negative news at this time, then it will have to be replaced.

Daniel is now finding that more and more, MB's early fortune and the opening of the social age will change things, which may far exceed the influence of his tossing in Hollywood.

"Another masterpiece."

"Times" contributor Turan is an old acquaintance with Daniel. Basically, he has given praise to all of Daniel's films, including "Legal Blonde", which is not so highly valued by film critics. Turan also called "Interesting" Contentment, romantic dreaminess" gave it three and a half stars.

This also makes the relationship between the two very good. Basically, Turan can get a share of the benefits that Daniel spreads out.

Moreover, what is interesting is that because Daniel's films never fail, Turan has gradually cultivated his prestige. Many of his compliments before the release are usually deliberately publicized after the success of the film. For a film critic For the record, his evaluation record is very important. For example, those film critics who sang praises to "Pearl Harbor" and "Raiders" now hate their own dark history.

This is also a balance, otherwise the film critics will be more reckless to accept the benefits.

Turan, who has earned both fame and fortune, naturally became more enthusiastic about Daniel's films.

This time, he also came early for the preview of "Pirates".

Daniel pulled him to find a seat.

"I think you will like it. This is indeed a very interesting story. Rob Marshall's skills are not low, and Weta's special effects have improved a lot. There are many scenes, I believe you will be surprised."

Turan's face remained unchanged, but he approached without a trace.

"What's your forecast? How much do you think it's going to do in North America and around the world? What about the Oscars, is that possible?"

"300 million upwards, North America, the world must be more than 600 million. After all, Disney spent a lot of money."

Daniel directly gave him the information, Roger Albert's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years~www.readwn.com~ Turan's momentum is increasing day by day, he has just removed the Los Angeles Film Critics Association The long position and the more detached status have instead made his influence in this group fight.

Moreover, he is the most followed film critic on MB.

This is due to the fact that MB officials like to invite him as a guest when they do live broadcast activities for some movies.

These actions, of course, are all part of Daniel and his cooperation plan, and it is of course very beneficial to have an Olympic support in the important film critic group. Although the absolute influence of film critics is actually declining, professional evaluation remarks are always powerful. The impact of social media, under their active embrace, will not have the ability to kill them all.

Paving the way for Turan, Turan will naturally give his own reward. (To be continued.)

PS: These days, I am really exhausted, the book has been blocked, and I have only unlocked it today.

Subscriptions have dropped a lot, and it has finally risen, which is really sad.
