Ace Hollywood

Daniel has not joined the group to film for more than half a year. After finishing the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in February, he has been playing games in various things. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

Sometimes, people do grow through experience.

When he first came to Hollywood, he was intent on taking advantage of Hollywood's loose filming atmosphere and participating in some classics. The company, etc., which is incompatible with the original intention, seems to be able to ignite the fire and excitement in his heart.

Maybe, he just wants to be successful, and it doesn't seem that important whether it is in the performing arts, or in power, money, and influence.

A person's ambition needs to be cultivated.

When he can only shoot low-budget movies, it is difficult for him to enter mainstream cinemas. In any case, it is impossible for him to give birth to the idea of ​​fighting in Hollywood.

That's not ambition, it's wishful thinking.

Therefore, for Daniel, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief when he returned to the crew, and he felt relieved that he didn't have to participate in complicated affairs for the time being.

Everything has become a habit.

Thinking of this, Daniel couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Paul Greengrass devote himself to the movie is a bit of a mystery.

The success of "The Bourne Bourne" lies in the fact that Doug Liman has created a plain-looking agent image. This time Doug is reluctant to direct the tube, but retired as a producer and chose Greengrass to be the director. . I have to say that this candidate is quite suitable. Universal's boldness in choosing directors has been well-known in the industry in the past two years.

McFarlane of "Fake Gods" is now a first-class director of comedy films, and he can be regarded as the eye of Universal Pictures. This time, the sequel to the hit series "The Bourne Bourne" was given to Greengrass, a journalist from a background and a new Hollywood force who has not experienced commercial proof. It is also an extraordinary attempt by Universal.

According to Daniel's understanding, this was recommended by Doug. He had watched "Bloody Sunday" and thought that the control of the camera and the rhythm was quite good. Of course, the most important thing is style.

Greengrass not only continued the authenticity of the first part in the shooting, but also had a bigger push.

On camera, he likes to use a lot of close-up shots. The picture is direct and powerful.

A lot of times, Daniel was a little out of tune with this style, and when he was driving the car to film the crash scene, the cameraman was sitting next to him, and the camera was facing the front of the car and him from the inside out.

have to say. Photographers also take a lot of risk at work.

But Greengrass's style is very suitable for this kind of film. At least when Daniel is watching some filming tapes, he can still clearly feel the strong impact. For spy war suspense films, this is of course a delight. style of.

Working with a workaholic like Greenglass, Daniel was quickly mobilized.

A lot of chores are basically entrusted to Cusa Damon and others. He is too busy now, and only some more important things need to be decided by him, of course. Some work had phased results, and he had to be notified. The phone call across the Atlantic cost Daniel a lot of money.

After most of the "Bourne Bourne 2" process, when the Berlin scene was basically completed, Daniel's protracted negotiations with Google finally came to a conclusion.

Previously, an agreement to subscribe for the original shares had been reached, with both parties agreeing to use a gradient price proposed by Google.

Both Evan Williams and Daniel agreed to replace their shares in Google with Google shares, which will be fully incorporated into the Google system, with Evan accounting for 3.3 million original shares with 12% of the shares. Daniel's 16% stake, or about 4.4 million shares, makes it a natural Google owner, aside from its own value. It also holds 30% of the shares of mb. During the negotiation of this part, the controversy was fierce. The current valuation of mb is quite different. A conservative view is that the valuation of 16 million active users is around 1.6 billion, which is more suitable for the Internet. More confident institutions in the social age. Has raised the valuation of mb to 5.5 billion.

Such a disparity in the valuation of institutions makes the two sides have to go back and forth when discussing, and fight for every inch of land.

Specific to mb, after being merged into Google, Google became the single minority shareholder of mb, accounting for 30% of the shares, and Daniel's Plutos Investment Company still accounted for 70% of the shares. But Google pays $120 million for mb's technology research and development, publicity and promotion, and user growth. This capital injection was approved by Plutos, but the two sides did not determine a specific operation plan in this negotiation around Google. This is another matter, and Google, Plutos and management will negotiate separately. , they are currently just taking this as one of the conditions to determine.

After the plan was negotiated, Daniel signed the contract at his Malibu home while flying back to Los Angeles over Thanksgiving.

When handing it over to Raymond, Daniel paused.

These things are becoming more and more difficult to hide. With Google going public, mb will eventually embark on this road. It is difficult to avoid Raymond walking to the front desk, and everyone knows the relationship between him and Raymond. .

"When Google goes public next year, I suggest that Raymond can officially come forward as the head of Plutos Investments."

Hearing Daniel's concerns, Cusa immediately raised the idea solemnly, not like a temporary intention, and looked at Raymond after speaking.

In order to play Jason Bourne again, Daniel has increased his fitness before, and now he looks quite strong, and his style is not the same as before. Sitting there, he doesn't look like the behind-the-scenes boss of a high-tech company.

Raymond took a look at him. He was not very good at talking about this. He was in charge of Daniel's affairs. People of all kinds of business. So, it looks like he's an outsider on the team, but he's actually as important a member as Cusa.

Cusa is in charge of most of Daniel’s and film-related affairs, including investments in Weta Digital, DD Films, and Daniel’s Investment Department. Cusa can reach out. But in the stock market and purely financial operations, such as imp company - although this company claims to be an electronic product company, in fact, since its establishment, the only job is to screen and purchase patents. Daniel is not particularly clear about these, but he is right after all. He has ten years of experience in using electronic products such as laptops, smartphones, tablet computers, music players, etc. beyond the current level. According to this experience, he asked imp employees to buy patents. In fact, most of the patents are useless, but Occasionally getting one or two is enough for them to open for three years. For example, this time Apple acquired the patented technology in their hands. In fact, it is only an audio technology, a patent on the LCD screen, but Daniel knows these things. The prospect of patents, Apple's desire to lower prices is also wishful thinking.

Therefore, Raymond's awe of Daniel is even more than that of Cusa Damon and others.

Therefore, he did not intend to express his opinion on such an important decision involving himself, but Cusa looked at him, and Daniel also looked at him. He would not say anything.

"It is of course more convenient to be public, especially if Daniel has a bigger move in Hollywood, it is not realistic to always rely on Plutos' own funds. It is not realistic to integrate these industries under your hands under Plutos. Below Toth, the operation is also a little more convenient."

"Raymond is right, and, Daniel, you've got your hands on Disney, and Robert's side has been inquiring about the relationship between MB and us recently." Cusa took over, "Disney's relationship network is deeply rooted, and it's better to be stalked by other people. It’s better to make it public. If you still have some private investments, it’s not contradictory.

Daniel nodded thoughtfully.

"I see this way, I'll find another investment manager, and Raymond will be a full-time Plutos. When Google goes public next year, you will come forward and everyone will know it. We do this, and those who understand what I mean will know. what to do."

Even if Raymond withdraws now and contacts the previous things, he must know that Daniel is behind Plutos, but he does so to clearly tell everyone that he has no intention of making a comeback, a multi-billion dollar investment The company, and the mb in hand, is enough for friends and opponents to keep a proper silence.

The three basically decided on this strategy.

Daniel sighed, and when he reached the highest point, he felt that it was difficult to stand still in the wind. He can imagine a very different scene in Hollywood when Google goes public next year.

However, when you do something at any stage, you can't always avoid it.

...

After Thanksgiving, I returned to Berlin to continue filming for two weeks. The crew moved to Moscow, Russia. After only four days, Mosca didn’t even have time to go around, so they flew to New Delhi, India.

This is Daniel's first visit to India.

He didn't have a good impression of this country, but obviously, this country with a large population didn't care much about his good impression.

After a day off in New Delhi, Daniel turned to Goa.

Here they will complete the final filming of The Bourne 2.

Here is mainly his and Franka Bertante's scenes~www.readwn.com~ At the beginning of the second part, they lived in a small town in Goa. With the assassination of a mysterious organization, they lived a short and peaceful life. be broken.

Except for the difference of Indian race, the atmosphere of this town is very similar to that of China, and the atmosphere of life is very strong, not like a metropolis like Los Angeles.

They're going to shoot here for two weeks, basically in early December.

After more than a month of getting along, everyone has become familiar with a lot, especially Greengrass, except for being a little picky at work, he is quite an interesting person.

"Please don't use local tools, because people here don't use paper, only fingers."

He blinked, looked at Franka's discolored face, and smiled terribly. (To be continued.)
