Ace Hollywood

Chapter 249: shake hands

The phone on the table began to vibrate. www.geiliwx.com

I just talked to Kusa about the recent series of confrontations with Disney. At present, it seems that Natalie's divine assistance and "accidental" investment behavior have surprised many Hollywood partners.

Fox's McNichol even took "Avatar" to talk to Daniel, saying that Fox is considering introducing some investment to share the $250 million investment in this project. If Daniel can play, Fox will seriously consider his intention.

It was a surprise.

However, so far, although Disney has come through the wind, Robert Iger has never made a phone call to Daniel. Therefore, it is necessary for Daniel to discuss with Cusa whether it is necessary to wait for the call from the place, or they can take the initiative to call.

According to Daniel's own meaning, the current situation is already dominated by them. The Disney-led containment alliance is self-defeating. Robert Shayer has tried to start discussing the cooperation of "The Hobbit" with him, but Daniel knows that this project It didn't go well. It had to be delayed for several years, so I let him go. Anyway, the project won't start by then, and the new line will be the untrustworthy party. Not to mention Universal, the previous statement of concessions has been very clear. said their opinions.

Now what Daniel has to consider is Disney, whether to wait for them to send out a clear signal, or take the initiative to pass a step over by himself, and with Iger's status in Hollywood, Daniel is humbled in face. It's not a shameful thing, mainly because everyone knows that he doesn't suffer any losses.

Of course. Daniel needs to take a step back on the surface, or at least confirm that Disney intends to quit.

At present, those hot topics have been replaced by the rumors that Daniel is going to enter the business world. For the time being, it is not clear that there is a force behind it to try to turn over the past.

Broadly speaking, this is also proof that Disney has stopped.

But it's not always so straightforward.

So Cusa thinks it's better to wait, at least there is a clear attitude there, and Daniel's side will deal with it.

Otherwise, this scene will move the crowd. It's a bit anticlimactic.

As for the unequal status of the two sides, Cusa's original words also sounded reasonable.

"It's not a problem. Hollywood is this kind of place, and interests are the most important. If you tell Robert, let him apologize to a beggar in the newspaper. But if you can make Disney $100 million, he will definitely not hesitate. We I didn't ask him to do anything to lose face, just to let everyone know clearly that this matter is over."

Daniel is still thinking about whether it is according to Kusa, continue to wait.

The call came.

Robert Iger.

Glancing at Kusa, "Peace or war, it's on this phone."

As soon as Robert opened his mouth, he was warm and close, and Daniel immediately knew his attitude.

"The Tale of the Bear premiere? Of course. I'll make time for it. Well, we'll talk about it later."

Holding the phone, Daniel thought for a while. Only then did he put it down meaningfully, "He invited me to the premiere of "The Legend of the Bear"."

Bear Tale is a Disney cartoon. This year Disney can be said to have unlimited limelight. So far, the only two films this year that have exceeded 300 million are Disney's "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Especially the latter. As Disney's first pg-13 film, it can be said that it has made a good start for Disney to enter new fields.

For Robert. This may be one of the reasons why he doesn't need to fight with Daniel. The situation is right, so why take the risk.

Daniel accepted the invitation, which of course meant announcing his end.

As expected by Daniel, two days later, Disney responded, saying that it and Daniel would start negotiations on the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean". Immediately, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley both expressed their willingness to continue joining the sequel in interviews, and believed that the preparations for the sequel would be very smooth.

To be honest, this turmoil has brought a lot of people, and the most personal of them may be these two. "Pirates of the Caribbean" box office hit, Keira Knightley is still borrowed from Dongfeng, from no name, and also became a Hollywood newcomer. A member of strength, he now has a place in various charm rankings. But Orlando Bloom is much inferior, and the role of Will Turner really has nothing to remember, especially with such a vivid image of Captain Jack, it is even worse.

But even so, the sequel to "Pirates" is extremely important to them, not to mention the financial benefits, it is also significant for them to maintain exposure.

With exposure, you can meet more people and have better opportunities.

No one understands this truth.

Therefore, when the sequel to "Pirates" was precarious, the two were also frightened. Once the Disney side let go, they didn't need anyone's guidance, they immediately understood what to do.

Several parties have made a joint statement, and it is very credible that the second part of "Pirates" will soon enter a state of preparation.

Daniel originally wanted to respond, but Simon Williams came to the door and made him change his mind temporarily.

"I've had people approached with people in Kenya, and they said they could consider filming in Kenya if you could get involved, and they want you to talk to them directly about it."

Simon doesn't have a big relationship with the Kenyan government, but he has some connections in the UK, plus the theme expressed in this script is quite popular, and Daniel **** has just made a big splash in Kenya, since he visited Dadaab refugees After the battalion, he once attached an article of his own to the report of the UN visit.

The article calls on UNHCR to pay attention to the serious overload problem of the Dadaab refugee camp. The refugee camp that could only accommodate 90,000 people has now reached the scale of hundreds of thousands of people, which means infrastructure, health, security and other aspects. preparations will face challenges. Daniel reminded UNHCR in his report. This trend is still intensifying. If the situation in Somalia deteriorates, the accommodation capacity of this refugee camp will face a terrifying challenge. also. He also reminded that a large number of Somalis live in Kenya, and it is necessary to be vigilant of armed forces lurking among them. UNHCR should deepen cooperation with relevant Kenyan departments to control possible bad incidents.

The report was also published in Kenya's official newspaper. Because many of the contents in it responded to the concerns of the Kenyan official, he now has a surprising amount of face in Kenya.

Plus this movie. In a sense, it is also the concern of their president, Mr. Kibaki. Many factors are mixed together, and Kenya's willingness to make concessions is understandable.

After all, even if they don't say yes, shoot in South Africa or other African countries. There is no problem, the impact will not be better then, it will only be worse.

Since Simon decided to hand over the film to DD Films, Daniel took over the relationship with the other government.

After close consultation, the progress was still very rapid, and everyone finally decided that the film would be co-produced with the Kenyan anti-corruption department. But it provided great convenience for the crew to work in Kenya.

At the end of September, the project finally signed an agreement.

Daniel flew to Nairobi again. A press conference was held, announcing that the film, titled "The Immortal Gardener", would be cast in conjunction with the British mission and the Kenyan government.

Among them, one piece of information that attracted the most media attention is that Daniel will act in person, and it is clear that the film will start shooting in June 2005.

This is Daniel's first confirmation. He will return to Hollywood to film after 2004, according to the announced time. It should be after he completed his first year of schooling and returned to Hollywood. As for whether he just used the summer work, it is still unknown. However, the speculation that Daniel, who had been hyped by various media before, may turn to the business world, will naturally fall apart.

Immediately after returning from Kenya, Daniel attended the premiere of "Tale of the Bear."

He did meet an acquaintance, Joaquin Phoenix!

As one of the main voice actors of the film, it was also a good job opportunity for Joaquin.

Daniel almost didn't remember when Philip brought him over to talk to Daniel.

It may be that his career is not going well. Jack is not as high-spirited as the previous two years. Philip still has face, but in front of Daniel, he can't say anything now. Matt Damon and Affleck are developing quite well. , but compared with Daniel, it's just not bad.

In Hollywood, opportunities are not easy to come by, but destroying other people's opportunities is not that hard.

Philip would bring someone over to say a few words, of course, the meaning is obvious.

Daniel had no intention of "chasing" them. After saying a few words, Robert Iger asked someone to invite him to the lounge.

For Daniel, here today is his official reconciliation with Disney, but the most important thing is, of course, a face-to-face meeting with Robert.

Watching him walk in, Robert smiled as if nothing had happened.

"What's the scenery like in Kenya?"

"Come and go in a hurry, wait until next year, if I have time, I plan to go with Collins to see wild animals on the prairie. Are you and Kourney going together?"

Robert laughed and shook his head, "The lion is here, we can't outrun it, let's take a look at the zoo."

After a few greetings, we got to the point.

Of course, ~www.readwn.com~ will not be able to tell the truth, the truth is true and false, and the two cope with the meaning.

Daniel's side, of course, means that no matter where I am, no matter what price I offer, if you feel willing to do it, we will cooperate. If you feel unwilling to do it, then I will hire someone else or do it myself, and you don't have to waste your money. The scheming came to press me.

Since Robert is going to give up, even if he doesn't think so, he will deal with it.

"I have something else today that I want to talk to you about. What do you think of Miramax?"

Robert suddenly brought up a conversation. (To be continued)
