Chapter 107: Traces of the Caribbean
"I think Hanks and Julia must hate you very much."
Sitting in front of Daniel was a surprising man, Jerry Bruckheimer.
After the Golden Globe Awards, the entertainment media across the United States went crazy for the Golden Globes and the subsequent Oscars, "Gladiator" Best Feature Film - in this category, the Oscars and the Golden Globe have quite a tacit understanding, so the odds of "Gladiator" fell rapidly, although "Never Compromise" is still unexpectedly at the bottom, but "Drug Network" has been surpassed by "Gladiator", because "Drug Network" is too bad at the Golden Globe Awards, except for the best feature film was taken away by "Gladiator", the popular supporting actor category, Beniso was also blown out by Daniel, especially for best director, and although Ridley Scott did not win the trophy either, Steven Soderbergh, who also has two nominations, still lost to Ann Lee, which still made him lose face.
Daniel Sandler's Golden Globe win and the biggest Oscar hit has been widely reported, not only in the United States, but also in China.
NEW's He Yu was eventually allowed to do a brief and exclusive interview with Daniel – or just a video recording.
"Chinese movie fans, hello everyone, I'm Daniel Sandler, thank you for following "Gladiator" and following me."
Daniel spoke English and held the trophy he had just won.
But that's enough, Daniel's weight in this feature has risen dramatically, and his number of Chinese fans has also increased rapidly - in a way, China is still a desert of Hollywood stars, so high-quality stars like Daniel have been able to gain a lot of popularity in a pioneering manner.
"Jerry, don't be kidding, if I win the Best Actor trophy, I won't hate anyone." Daniel said with a smile.
Daniel and Jerry have always been in touch, only now, Jerry's connection has gotten a little stronger, and most of the meetings don't have any work to contact, just sit down for a drink, have a chat, and talk about each other's work, especially Black Hawk Down
"Speaking of which, Jonathan is a real headache, and Ridley isn't that happy with him," Jerry muttered, "Maybe you should have listened to Ridley in the first place, and your watch would have been better." ”
Of course, there is no need to believe such words, and in general, speaking ill of a third party will help to harmonize the feelings of both parties.
Right now, for example, Daniel is quite happy.
"Then I really envy Jonathan, Ridley is a director who is very good at directing actors, I have benefited a lot, and you, Jerry, you are the producer that stars dream of."
"Daniel, what about you?"
"I'm certainly one of them." Daniel's expression was determined.
Jerry paused, and Daniel knew he had something to do.
Even with the prediction, Daniel began to feel his heart beat a little faster.
"Recently, Walt Disney has been approaching my company for a project - Disney live-action films, are you interested?" Jerry laughed after he finished speaking, "But now I don't even have a script, just a general idea." ”
Daniel restrained his feelings, and to be honest, it wasn't that hard for Daniel anymore - Pirates of the Caribbean was an opportunity he couldn't miss, but it wasn't all that unattainable.
"Of course, I'm always ready to read the script if you think it's appropriate."
From Jerry's point of view, this is Daniel's respect and admiration for him, as well as an appreciation for his personal credibility.
In any case, this meeting unexpectedly greatly increased the friendship between the two parties.
As far as Daniel knows, it is not certain that Jerry will give him the role in the end, after all, in the original film, Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey, and Christopher Walken were all invited to play Captain Jack, and it seems that the cast they asked for was a bit high, and as for Will Turner's role, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor and Tobey Maguire were all considered by them, so considering the casting angle of the producer, Daniel felt that Jerry might be more approved of him playing Will - which was not his purpose.
……
"In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Jones said that if she didn't get the itinerary today, she would kill herself." Melissa and Andy's faces were refreshed, because their boss had just won a big prize, and of course, because their wages had gone up, so far, Andy and Melissa were paid a weekly salary, Kusa took a share, Trick was still paid a hammer during the awards season, and as for Fred, his salary was already in the shares and salary of the Mountain Hawks.
Now everyone is excited because Daniel's rise is almost visible.
"Kevin hopes that Cusa will attend tomorrow's internal CAA meeting."
"The meeting with the president of Burberry is scheduled to be the night after tomorrow, and you will have dinner together. After that, you'll need to attend a ribbon-cutting event at Burberry's new store in Tokyo. ”
“……”
Daniel felt a headache when he heard Andy's mouth keep jumping out, "Doesn't Oscar's job need to be done?" ”
"Triver and Kusa can basically do it, and now that there's two months left before the Oscars, there's no way you can give up any other job."
"If it weren't for the fact that "Spy Shadow" needed to be postponed, where do you think I would have so much time to do this work."
Andy shrugged his shoulders, "Time is like a sponge. ”
"It's sponge water, Miss Andy."
Yes, as soon as the Golden Globe Awards ended, Daniel received a notice from Universal that "Spy" would be rescheduled, because Doug Liman had a new understanding of some of the shots, and he wanted to be able to reshoot some scenes, so Universal simply postponed the film to June next year - giving him a full year.
This frees up a lot of time for Daniel, and it is Daniel's obligation to reshoot the work, but it needs to be discussed, and the time will be strictly controlled, so before the promotion period of "Legally Blonde", that is, before mid-June, Daniel only needs to set aside half a month to a month for Doug Liman, and the rest of the time is free to spend.
"Melissa, after Oscar, I have to take some time off, and so do you, Andy, when is it scheduled?"
"If it's within fifteen days, it's easier to arrange, and if it's longer, I'm afraid it's going to have to be summed up."
"Yes, in fifteen days, I'm just going to Greece for a few days." When Daniel filmed "Spy", he had a good impression of Greece.
"In time for the premiere of "Fast and Furious", well, you should attend, right? Universal and Paul Walker have sent you invitations. Andy looked up and asked him, and after receiving an affirmative reply, "Then your vacation should end before June." How about the second half of May? ”
"Is Greece fun at this time?"
"I haven't been, you can ask Davy, hasn't he been to a lot of places?"
"Yes, this lucky boy."
David aborted his journey late last year and came back to sign an agreement of intent to invest in Blogger, and negotiations have already begun, with Mountain Hawks, David, and Google — Mark finally convincing Larry and Sergey to do it himself. Daniel has no doubt about that – he knows Facebook, he knows Twitter, he knows Instagram, including China's BAT – and they're all in the early stages of development and are good for investment. But investing isn't just about throwing money in, and Daniel doesn't have anyone to trust in that – his investment managers and accountants only work together on a regular basis, so bringing in a big company like Google would help keep his investment risk low enough.
