"So, you've decided?"

Daniel nodded, "Maybe today is our helpless choice, but it may give us a big surprise in the future." ”

Robert Iger's residence in Los Angeles is also quite luxurious, although not as big as Daniel's new house, but in terms of decoration, it is much more elaborate than Daniel.

Daniel is invited to Robert's house, which surprises him a little.

Robert must have known Jerry and Gore's choice, and even their connection to Depp, and in the end all that was left was to notify Disney, yes, basically just notice. It's not a question of power, it's a matter of specialization, and the project was given to Jerry, who of course retains the biggest say, but is rarely used to deny the producers.

But even so, Robert invited Daniel to his home - a sign of intimacy.

"Looks like you're not going to give up on Jack." Robert smiled unabated, "I'm surprised that you are so optimistic about this movie." ”

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be so insistent." Daniel won't deny that he's done so much that everyone can see what he thinks.

"However, Jerry and Gore have already decided, and even I can't deny them. After all, they are the ones who actually made the film. Robert said frankly. Indeed, any action by Robert will increase the pressure on himself, which is Disney's attempt to step out of the family movie, and the pressure is already high, "But you decided to come and see me, I want to hear how you plan to convince me?" ”

"I can share 30% of the investment, and I'm willing to let Disney pay for it first."

Daniel's voice wasn't particularly loud, and it seemed that he was just saying something that was commonplace.

But Robert's expression clearly indicated that this was not the case at all.

"What did you say?"

"Isn't Disney worried about the risks of this attempt? I'm sure Robert is also worried about this, and you're working with Jerry's company to reduce this risk, right? Then, my conditions must be very sincere. ”

One-third, that's nearly 35 million investments, which is definitely a lot of money.

Thirty-five million is enough to invest in a medium-sized movie, and the budget for a sequel to Legally Blonde is no more than that.

And the most important condition is still to come, so that Disney can recoup its investment.

In other words, DD Pictures will not take a single child until Disney recovers its costs, and this kind of investment partner is simply too popular.

Disney's risk is almost minimized.

Robert looked at Daniel with some amazement, he knew that Daniel had invested in two movies, almost more than 10 million yuan, and now he offered to come up with 35 million, where did he get the money?

The mysterious fog on Daniel's body made Robert a little confused.

When the conditions are released, all Daniel has to do is wait for Disney's decision.

……

By the time Jerry and Gore got the news, it was three days later.

Robert, who unified the opinions within Disney, announced the decision to them.

"We're going to invest in this series with DD Pictures."

"DD Pictures?"

Gore asked with a frown, he didn't know about the studio, but he was unhappy that the investment was still changing.

But Jerry Bruckheimer knows the company, after all, he owns a film company and has been working with Disney for years — and it will continue. Importantly, the company belongs to Daniel Sandler.

It's too capricious.

Jerry had to sigh.

For a role, 35 million was spent.

What kind of mentality is this?

And Daniel's ability to accumulate wealth is too amazing, the one million of "Gladiator" is considered to be his beginning to make money, the salary of several films plus the dividends of "Pretty Woman" has indeed reached more than 10 million, and Burberry's endorsement does not make much money, in addition, Daniel's commercial activities have been maintained at a high level for a long time, and the density of his attendance is also quite high - this is young people, flying around, making money all over the United States and even the world.

However, this qiē is the initial income, he needs to raise a team, needs to be distributed to CAA and agents, and he also bought a 10 million mansion and a million cars.

Where does the money come from?

Only possible investment!

Could it be that Daniel is still a financial genius?

Jerry certainly wouldn't know the theorem that reborn speculative can eat for a lifetime.

However, from the moment Jerry learned the news, the ball was back in his hands - continuing to oppose Daniel's appearance, and then the two sides played, either Jerry was proposed for the project, or Daniel recouped his investment. Jerry thought about it and realized that he didn't have much of a chance of winning.

He is a gold medalist and has achieved countless successes, but the recent "Pearl Harbor" met Waterloo, and Michael Eisner even left because of this opportunity, he has not received much criticism, but it is definitely not nothing, and at this time the board of directors, or how Robert will choose, he is not sure.

A love of movies and an amazing talent will not let Jerry run rampant in Hollywood. First of all, he must be a person who knows how to judge the situation.

So, there is nothing difficult for him to choose who to choose.

When Disney accepted Daniel's investment, it was all set.

What needs to be done now, for Jerry, is to convince Gore Verbinski and then say sorry to Depp.

……

"Why? Depp is the most suitable candidate, but if you have to say that Daniel can't, it's not convincing. "Jerry was very surprised by Gore's stubbornness," Daniel has seen his appearance so far, he is very malleable, and I don't believe you can completely ignore that. So you're challenged because of authority, or something else? ”

Gore, to be honest, didn't have a clear idea of what he was thinking.

After learning the news from Robert, Gore was in a state of anger and confusion.

He has never tasted or seen this kind of ruthless trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and he has never seen it, and he has invested in the male protagonist, which is simply too nouveau riche.

Gore had no idea that Daniel would be able to do such a thing.

He was convinced that he would not be able to create the film in this state.

And he has never felt his insignificance so clearly, and that movies are a game of money after all.

Gore's withdrawal is not so strict, if you don't want to make a feud, everyone in the media knows what to say, Jerry and Daniel's contact has been in the newspapers, but Depp is not, no one will know the inside story of these messes. No one in the know wants to offend Disney, Jerry, or all of Daniel.

After the persuasion of Robert, Jerry, and even Daniel himself failed, Daniel felt guilty but resolutely proposed to re-choose the director.

For Gore, the most memorable work of his life passed by, and maybe he had other encounters, but pirates had nothing to do with him.

"Rob Marshall?"

Daniel is now the second largest investor and the leading actor, participating in the discussion of the project, because this is completely a personal investment, so David's participation is tightly to provide the team, invest in a movie, and each link needs to have its own people, otherwise there is no way to confirm where the money you invested has gone and whether the money you have earned has been swallowed. DD Pictures charges a service fee, while the investment is counted as Daniel's own.

"If you throw more than 30 million at once, I will immediately become a part-time worker, this is not good, this is my career and dream." David said this to Daniel in a serious manner, so he had no choice but to follow David's advice. Because he really doesn't want to take away David's dreams, this black guy is becoming in line with the Hollywood elite, he is constantly learning, gaining experience, and with God-given luck, he deserves the joy of making his dreams come true, not just money. Daniel's sporadic memory, there are a lot of things that he doesn't have the energy to do, you can use Guò David to operate, after all, a person's energy is limited, the investment field is becoming more and more important, at first he didn't have the idea of expanding to the point where he is today, but with the development of MB, Raymond's major, he has more and more territory in this field, and he needs to spend more and more energy and time, plus movies and social affairs that need to be absolutely valued, Running a film company was too much of a burden for Daniel. And, when it comes to being completely trustworthy, David outperforms all professional managers and collaborators.

Daniel threw out the director as the replacement for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series after Gore withdrew, and he felt that it should be no problem for him to shoot the first part.

Jerry is a Hollywood veteran, and he actually knows about this little-known director.

"The director Harvey hired to shoot Chicago used to shoot commercials and television." Jerry frowned and thought about it, not knowing why Daniel wanted to recommend him.

Daniel didn't have a reason for it, but Jerry actually thought of one for him.

"Chicago is a key project for Miramax, and if he wins some awards at the Oscars, Rob will easily become a hot director, and we have a hot lead character, and then a hot director, and we will save a lot of publicity money."

Robert thought deeply, Miramax is a Disney-owned company, and he certainly knows the Weinstein brothers' positioning for "Chicago", and he also understands why Rob Marshall was selected. What Jerry said may seem ridiculous, but it's actually realistic. And, when you think about it, the flamboyant classical revue of "Chicago" is very much in line with some of the positioning of "Pirates of the Caribbean". As long as he works the screenwriting and makes up for the control of this novice, coupled with the gorgeous scenes and compact table Xiàn method that he is good at, he may not be the right person.

The most important thing is that Jerry is very strong, Daniel is now an investor, and he has a lot of power, and he pays direct attention to himself in the movie, and Robert certainly knows better, so it is necessary to find a director who is not so famous. At this time, he was a little glad about Gore's launch, otherwise the crew might not be quiet in the future.

"Jerry, I think you can consider it, you and Harvey get to know each other, talk to him, and see if it's suitable."

Jerry is not very familiar with Rob himself, but he knows that Robert is also interested in "Chicago", and since he thinks Rob is also the right person, then Jerry certainly will not refuse to give it a try.

……

Time is actually very short, and by the time the dust settles on Daniel's investment and Depp's exit, even the list of Oscar nominees has not yet been announced.

Therefore, the emotions of several parties are very intense.

Daniel himself was no exception, and it was a bit of pressure to invest so much and get Gore out of the game, and although he didn't think Gore was a necessary factor for success, it was always worrying to change history. But when I think about it, I'm also a variable, so I have to let go of my worries.

Jerry doesn't have to say it, shaking around, talking about peace laterally, is also exhausted.

Gore, who has been out, did not file a lawsuit with Disney, but took a proper compensation to do a new project, what he thinks, Daniel is not clear, but it will definitely not be good.

The rest is Johnny Depp.

When Jerry called to say sorry and informed Gore that he couldn't continue to participate, Depp felt like his brain really couldn't turn.

But he also asked who the actor chose.

As a result, his heart is still congested.

How this magic trick came about, he still doesn't know, Tracy inquired from Disney about the news that Disney's new CEO favored Daniel, and even did not hesitate to replace the director.

Depp thought maliciously in his heart that Daniel might have become Robert Iger's little wolf dog, otherwise how could Disney be so tough on Daniel.

The characters in hand flew like this, and Depp and Tracy were stunned for ten minutes before they became angry.

But Jerry and Gore's words were all verbal, and even Jerry didn't give a clear response at all, and the words of certainty came out of Gore's mouth, this is an experienced gold medal people, how to pit actors, how to pit investors, more skilled than anyone else. But now Depp has nothing to do.

He really lost to Daniel Sandler this time.

It wasn't until he had to admit that he lost to Daniel that Johnny Depp realized how incredible this was. In just three years, Daniel, who was stopped by his words at the beginning of Tracymen, if he hadn't chosen Cusa Damon, and the opportunities continued, Daniel, who might have been completely insulated from Hollywood or had been stumbling for ten more years, is now competing with him for the role and winning the battle.

This kind of thing has not been encountered by Depp for so many years in the industry.

Thinking of what happened to Joaquin Phoenix and Matt Damon, Daniel's journey can be regarded as a god blocking and killing God, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, no one can be responsible.

If it weren't for this kind of mind, I don't think we would have achieved such things.
