Chapter 213: A Little Storm
David glanced at the newspaper Daniel had placed in front of him and the headline in bold on it.
"As much as I really don't want to think about the old days endlessly, I can't control myself. Now you've got and John. McCain, the man who almost became the president of the United States, became an opponent. ”
Daniel swallowed the last piece of bread, "Deshar, the salad dressing is a little sweet." ”
Compared to Americans' penchant for sweetness, Daniel still can't fully accept it.
"David, you think too highly of me, we can be regarded as mutually beneficial at best, he gets attention, and I get publicity and status symbols, because there are definitely more than one or two people who think the same as you."
Daniel is very factual, and it is true that he and McCain are definitely not rivals, because he is not an Arizona Democrat - which means that he will never run for the local federal senate, and there is no fundamental problem with John. As for now, although it looks like the red knife goes in and the white knife comes out, it won't bring deep enough wounds to each other.
With side effects, but it does belong to the mutual "help" of the public opinion circle.
After a little discussion on the subject, David quickly returned to his own question.
Daniel brought back 1.2 billion profits in the crude oil market, only Kusa, David, and Raymond knew, and MB's Javier knew that the boss had made money, but the specific amount was not clear. The rest of the team hadn't discussed the topic, knowing that it wasn't something they should be involved in, but what was going on in their minds was not something Daniel could know.
So how to use the 1.5 billion needs to be discussed.
The most pressing issue at the moment is DD Pictures, which has been constrained by funding and personnel - in the final analysis, it is a matter of funding, and David is very cautious about starting new projects, and he is also relatively constrained in considering acquiring some rights. So Daniel allocated 200 million to the investment department, of which 20 million was paid to DD Pictures in advance as production expenses for recruiting talents.
The project of "Love to the Fall of the House" has officially begun, and it occupies almost half of the people of DD. If you want to open a new project, you have to recruit another batch.
The way of cooperation is David's favorite, and that is Daniel's investment department. Leave it to DD Pictures to produce, so that the production level of DD Pictures can be raised to a sufficient height as soon as possible on the premise of avoiding risks.
"With your money, I don't feel bad at all, it's a great feeling."
"You don't know. My heart was stopping. ”
"If I were given 1.2 billion, I would be willing to stop jumping for a few seconds."
Daniel had no choice but to roll his eyes, "Okay, I'll discuss the specific project after the Oscars, and you can follow up first." ”
Because of the withdrawal from the investment in "Pirates of the Caribbean", although DD Pictures still needs to be responsible for part of the distribution work, Daniel's work is still a big piece less, which makes him a little relieved. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that "Hotel Rwanda" and "The Pianist" are movies that don't need much hype.
Daniel's work after that. Focusing on "The Fake God" released at the end of May and "Pirates of the Caribbean" released in early July, speaking of which, this time Weta Digital has definitely experienced a concentrated rehearsal - because the time is very tight, Disney hopes to launch it in the summer, so although Weta Digital's work is carried out simultaneously with the shooting, it is still quite a test for them to complete all the work before June.
The filming of "Spy 2" will start in September and end around November, so that the promotion of "The Return of the King", the last part of "The Lord of the Rings", is basically before the break. Daniel's job is pretty much the same.
In between these "official" assignments, he will also need to travel to refugee camps in Africa and Thailand this year to fulfill his duties as a goodwill ambassador for at least two weeks. The job doesn't stop with him taking a break, and he has a similar schedule for next year, including public speaking trips to Davos or the African Union.
Overall, this year's busyness will be a little better, but it will definitely not be leisurely.
David and Daniel discussed the work a little and left. Today he is also going to the Oscars. Because of the three executive producers of "Greek Wedding", he is in second place, and the theme song of "Greek Wedding" is written by Hans. Produced by Zimmer, it was shortlisted for this year's Oscar for Best Song, and Nia. Vadalas was also shortlisted for Best Original Screenplay.
However, the two sides will not walk together, Daniel will be on the red carpet alone, and Nia will walk with David. His other shortlisted film, "The Two Towers," also went their separate ways, as director and producer Peter Brown. Jackson wouldn't be there – yes, because of the anti-war and the fact that "The Two Towers" was only nominated for one Best Picture in the heavyweight category – and it was definitely not going to win, so Peter was absent altogether.
Burberry had flown in twelve dresses yesterday, all black tuxedos - though Daniel thought several of them were indistinguishable from each other, they looked pretty much the same. But in Sylm's eyes, they were all clearly unique, because from his struggles, it was clear that he was really weighing which one was better.
This year, unlike in previous years, the college required everyone to attend in evening dress, including reporters and cameramen - the weather was definitely quite a test for the journalists, who had to work on site for hours, and although the college prepared a buffet and drinks for them, it was certainly very difficult.
On top of that, the security situation has been pretty tough this year, with the police mobilizing around 1,000 people around the Kodak Theatre to protect the 3,500 guests, not just terrorists, but also extreme pacifist demonstrators who may be dragging body bags down the Walk of Fame – despite the cancellation of the red carpet this year.
……
While Dechar was preparing lunch, Daniel finally took a break and flipped through a script - one of his pastimes, and if he saw something boring, he threw it into a rattan basket, and Miller would take it to the scrapyard and put it away. If you see something interesting, read it as a novel.
"Every night, in my dreams, I see you, I feel your ......"
The theme of "Titanic," "My Heart Is Still," Daniel's old cell phone ringtone, rings — usually a surprise.
"Trick, there's basically no good news on your call."
"You're right, Daniel, and as sorry as I am, I have bad news for you. Men's Health posted a news item on their website that was the news that you got the Oscar. ”
“……”
Daniel was speechless for a moment.
"Didn't they delete it?"
"Deleted, but it has been reprinted, and now there are people discussing, probably in two aspects, one is that their website staff sent the prepared manuscript in advance, and there should be one for every nominee. Another guess is that you have been designated as an actor. Seriously, your fans are looking nervous right now. ”
"Men's Health? I remember a cover offer? Pushing back, how did such a magazine exist for 20 years. Daniel rubbed his forehead, this little episode wouldn't make a difference, "I'll spin on MB once and treat it as if it was an accident, oh no, it was an accident." ”
"Men's Health" may be well-informed, but it should never be known that Daniel has locked in this year's actor - everything is going on below, and no one else will know except for a few parties.
Daniel turned on his computer and flipped through the discussion of this tab.
"I'll just say the Oscars are worse than the Golden Globes, and Daniel is even more of a bitch."
"You're a bitch." Daniel was talking to himself while pulling the progress bar, he was basically immune to the comments on the Internet, but it was still very interesting to have a refreshing mouth.
"Daniel must have been framed, think about it, if it's really Daniel, you can logically spread rumors that he was condemned, if not, it's an understatement that it was a mistake. He must have offended some people in power because of his outspoken performance at the Golden Globes. ”
"He should refuse to attend the Oscars, just as he refused the Golden Globes, and it's a time of war, and those Hollywood bitches are still glamorously attending the Oscars."
"If the Oscars can't be done, then the TV stations should be closed, the movie theaters should be closed, Disney should be closed – everyone should stay home and repent to God!" Some people's stupidity is really worrying for him. ”
Whatever the topic, it will definitely end up on the US-Iraq war.
Shaking his head, Daniel began to edit his MB.
"I promise it's true, in addition to the 'Best Actor', there are also 'Best Actress' and 'Best Director' The little golden men are all here with me, oh damn, my gun is splashed with blood, I have to wipe it off."
"Huh?"
Not long after sending it out, Daniel suddenly discovered Nicole. Kidman retweeted.
"Daniel, can you discuss and give me the 'Best Actress'?"
The two of them obviously quickly crooked, and many nominees and Hollywood stars who paid attention to Daniel and Nicole began to retweet and discuss the "deal".
This little turmoil has passed, after all, in order to seize time, it is nothing new for the media to prepare news in advance, especially for award news such as the Oscars, which are determined by the nomination list, only need to write five articles, and then wait for the click to send.
……
Miller had already driven Cadillac President One into the yard, Sally, Deshar, and Shill would follow, while Triver and Kusa were already on the scene.
Daniel's heart was at peace. (To be continued.) )
