Chapter 135: Suppression
Los Angeles International Airport welcomed a number of reporters on the day, and Daniel's itinerary was almost public, but this time it was really not spread by his team.
Daniel's luggage also has the impact report made for him by the Mountain Eagle Company - this is the new business of the Mountain Eagle Company, for a certain person, a certain thing, a certain department to make an impact report for a period of time, of course, out of fear of violating the ** rights, this work is free to act on public events, but when it touches the individual, it only provides services for the individual's own requirements.
Fred's report is pretty thick.
The time interval began when Daniel served as a member of the Anti-War and Peace Committee and lasted until the end of October.
On the heat curve, it can be clearly seen that before and after the disaster is the highest peak mentioned, the second peak is announced, and the rest of the time period remains at a high level.
The report concludes that "the influence has been greatly expanded, the mention in the non-entertainment sector has increased significantly, and the overall trend is positive." ”
This detailed report also provides a detailed analysis of the impact changes brought about by Daniel's actions, such as his arrival in "The Pianist" and "Hotel Rwanda", such as his departure from Los Angeles to engage in charity activities in Africa, and his participation in the group as a war correspondent, etc., all of which help Daniel's team understand the public's response mechanism: what touches them, what pleases them.
"Daniel, what do you think the Pentagon says the war will end soon?"
"Have you changed your opinion?"
"Military families recently criticized celebrities for their anti-war remarks, what do you think?"
The reporters' questions all revolved around the war in Afghanistan – indeed, the war was thought to be over soon, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was very large.
Daniel, escorted by security guards, made his way forward and did not respond to any questions.
Of course, this did not help.
The media always has its own direction.
Descriptors such as "speechless" and "blackface throughout" were all over the headlines of the report.
……
"What do you think?" Cusa handed him an invitation from Finn Collins, anti-war teams, and prominent figures to hold a public rally in San Francisco to protest the president's war policies.
Daniel just glanced at it and threw it away.
"Tell him I need to be responsible for the studio and can't participate."
Daniel has indeed benefited a lot from the sheer amount of influence, but now that he has not stabilized, he may face a reversal at any time, and it is impossible to be too cautious at this time.
"What about The Daily Show?"
"Jon invited me?" Daniel frowned, "The Daily Show" has a special status, especially when it comes to politics, such as Daniel now, their spicy sarcasm is quite a headache for the president, "What do you think, Cusa, I'm a little undecided, not because of its influence, but because it's a good opportunity to make my point of view thoroughly, without having to endure endless misunderstandings and slanders." ”
Kusa Damon has now become one of CAA's most important agents, and the asking price for Daniel's starring contract has risen to 14 million, and some endorsement contracts have reached a sky-high price of 30 million.
Of course, Daniel did not choose, money is not the most important issue now, and receiving this offer has been able to prove his worth.
"It's too risky, I don't accept the invitation now." Kusa had obviously thought about it for a long time, but now he rarely gave specific advice, and Melissa and Terriver would do it, not him.
Daniel was obviously leaning towards this as well, and nodded when he heard this.
Turning down an invitation to The Daily Show is not an unusual thing in any case, and although a million daily viewers are not comparable to popular dramas, the popularity and direct attention of talk shows cannot be compared to dramas and movies, and even presidents will participate in these shows to make their own points. However, for the current Daniel, perhaps the cloud mountain fog cover is the most suitable, and any attempt to come to the foreground may stimulate the current good situation.
But there's no way to avoid the media in Los Angeles, and you can't always avoid answering when everyone is looking at the same thing.
Recently, "Why didn't you attend the rally in San Francisco" was added.
At a media preview of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Daniel finally decided to relent.
"If I continue to be silent, I think it might be more unfair to the film." Daniel said this after a third reporter asked a similar question.
"Everybody is chasing after my attitude, and I would say that when I made my anti-war stance, I was unprepared for this catastrophe, and that's why I've been talking about this topic many times publicly, because I want the public to be clear about my attitude, and I'm really very unsympathetic to war. And then it happened, and this qiē coincidence was condensed in me, and as I made clear in my last statement, my position will not change, and I am still against the war. But at this time I need to understand my identity, I am an actor, I have a responsibility to the investors, the studio, the creative team and my own team, and I also have a responsibility to the people who follow me, and I want to be careful with what I say and do, which is why I rarely speak out publicly after what happens. And, even though I am against war, I have a lot of respect for those who have gone overseas to fight for their country, and too loud and impetuous remarks can hurt them and their families. That's why I inwardly dismiss the statements of the Pentagon and policymakers, but have no intention of doing more competing things. ”
"You are wrong to think that the propaganda war will soon be over?"
Daniel nodded in the affirmative, "This is the last question tonight that has nothing to do with The Fellowship of the Ring. My answer is yes, war is by no means a conclusion that can be drawn by calculating the arms gap, many wars of the United States in Asia can prove this, we will not lose, but we are not expected to win, there will be no winners in this war that may spread. ”
Daniel's cooperative attitude and clear opinions still made the reporter a little satisfied.
The next question finally comes back to the movie.
"To be honest, I'm not particularly in the mood to treat today's preview screening as Daniel's campaign for the Senate." Peter pulled the microphone and spoke, eliciting a burst of laughter, which was hard to laugh at as many events were canceled after the incident, and as the events wore off, the oppressive feelings were soothed, but the effects it had were bound to change the United States and the world.
"As for the box office judgment of "The Fellowship of the Ring", I can only quote a number that I think is more reliable, the figure given in the report of Mountain Eagle Company is 200 million to 250 million, which is the result we expect."
