"Your first step has been reached."

Kusa looked at Trickor, who was squeezing his eyebrows at Daniel while saying "Daniel is not convenient to answer the phone", spread his hands, and whispered to Daniel next to him.

With a laugh, Daniel watched as Trick quickly hung up the phone.

"What did Harvey say?"

"What else," as a friend, I really think Daniel's decision was too presumptuous, and was he going to fall out with the Foreign Correspondents' Association altogether? He's surprised that you didn't win the award, but no one is in control, so who can get the judges to vote according to an idea? The voice may not be quite like that.

After a few words about me, I started to play hard again, saying that our decision will bring a lot of trouble to today's award-winning actors, directors, companies, etc., and we still need to cooperate with everyone, which will also hurt us. And there is a much more important Oscar in the back, and if Daniel you are too willful, it will have a very bad impact on the back. ”

"What did you tell him?"

"I said there was no way, I really couldn't attend."

Daniel nodded, "Yes, I guess they're going to be angry at this point." Sally, on the team's official MB, I will inform everyone about our absence from the Golden Balls, be sincere, and apologize to the fans. Seriously, the only thing I'm sorry for is to them, they've been looking forward to seeing me. ”

"You can record a video."

"What's new on MB?"

Sally pouted, "You're really not what everyone thinks, and now everyone thinks you're an MB expert, but you don't even know that MB has completed the video function test." ”

"Is that good?" Daniel looked at everyone, "I'm on camera now, is it suitable?" ”

The answer is clearly no.

So the statement that appeared on Daniel's team's MB was only a short text: "I'm sorry to inform you that due to some unexpected reasons, Daniel will not be able to attend tonight's Golden Globe Awards. We are very, very sorry to all the fans and friends who are looking forward to seeing Daniel, especially those who went to the scene. Of course. He is healthy, and it was only for some regrettable reasons that he made this decision on the fly. Anyway, thank you all for your support. Once again, I would like to express my deep apologies. ”

……

"Oh, Harvey, no, no need to call Robert."

"What do you mean?"

"My staff told me that the Daniel team made a statement on MB. said that he would not attend today's awards ceremony because of some 'unfortunate sudden reasons', look, what a smart young man, he didn't say it was 'personal reasons' to cover it up, nor did he directly say 'the Golden Globes are unfair', just hanging everyone up and down. ”

Harvey stopped dialing his phone, and he thought about it for a while, and then talked to Bob. Weinstein communicated and decided to ask Robert for the future. Egger. And not Peter. Jackson went to persuade Daniel, but now, as Rudin said, he didn't need to.

"Crazy!"

With a sigh, Harvey's phone rang suddenly.

"Bob, I'm afraid it's Bob - oh my god, Daniel's cell phone number."

Because he was too surprised, Harvey didn't contain his voice, which made several big names sitting around him turn their heads. Obviously, everyone is paying attention to the negotiations between them and Daniel.

That's a lot of fun.

"Should I hang him up?"

"Of course. As long as you want. Rudin looked at Harvey playfully.

After a few breaths between his teeth, Harvey pressed the answer button.

"Harvey?"

"Yes, I almost thought you were taken away by the FBI, and no one seemed to be able to reach you."

"No, no, no. Harvey, don't laugh, you understand what all this is for. We should have been more blunt, yes, this time I lost. I don't know how you carved up the Golden Globe Awards, and I don't know when you talked about it. It's Bordeaux red wine, or Russian vodka, but that's already the case anyway. I call you this call, first of all, I want to tell you that only a few people win awards, and those who are nominated but do not win awards are the majority, and if I offend some people, then there must be more people who will love me. So, Harvey, don't worry about me, I'm going to have a bowl of rice in Hollywood after all, you know, just before I called you, I called Robert, Murdoch Jr., Stasi, and we had a great conversation. And I still have a couple of scripts in my hand, including MGM, Paramount, Fox and Disney, to name a few, which are really worth filming.

So, you know what I want, Scott. Rudin, Alexander. Payne, should know, too. I hope to wait for your reply, dear Harvey, and have a good evening. ”

Malibu, Daniel hung up.

"That's the second step, I call it 'Lao Tzu is very good.'"

Daniel curled the corners of his mouth.

The only ones still sitting here were Kusa, Trickor, and Sally, Melissa had gone home and they all had a fixed job, and Deshar had gone to prepare supper.

A few of you here saw Daniel talking like a whirlwind with the CEOs and chairmen of Hollywood's seven levels, talking about projects such as "007" and "War of the Worlds" without changing their faces, "I think what if...... He will be more successful", "people on the network...... Of course it will be more concerned about ...... Yes, I'd love to" ...... And so on and so forth, which he uttered in a very different tone and attitude, and then followed by a long-calculated hint that if I didn't come back in 2005, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Obviously, he was recognized.

"Are you really going to take the new 007? Is MGM going to use you as a lifesaver now? You played Jason. Bourne, they still want you to play 007."

"I'm confused, though, Kusa, what I need to say is that according to my stats and surveys," Sally flipped through her notebook, "after the release of Daniel's "Spy", fans of the 007 series have already asked for Daniel to play the new 007 on MGM's official website. When I 'returned' to MGM the other day, one of the most replies to the post was that 'Jason is really handsome, but not cool enough, and the agent should be like James. Bond is like this, private jets, luxury yachts, blonde beauties, extravagant parties, and tough skills, and most importantly, a handsome face and a coveted figure, so ask Daniel to play Bond and tell him and all Jason's fans that this is the real agent. Bond is not at all comparable to Bourne. ’”

“…… Well, when I didn't say. So, the scripts you're reading right now, Fox's "The Wedding Guest" and "Night at the Museum", MGM's new 007 series of films, DreamWorks' "War of the Worlds", and Disney's animated dubbing, etc., are indeed some highlights. But you can't take it all, how do you explain it to them. ”

"I have a long time to live, rest assured, Kusa. Moreover, I can't act in a film like "Wedding Guest" again, and at that time, I might as well launch "My Grand Mexican Wedding". The point is not here, the point is that if I don't come out to film, they can't work with me, and Hollywood will continue to turn without anyone, but without me, no one can guarantee that they can earn more, that's the point. So far, at least, I've made a lot of money for MGM, Universal, DD, and New Line, and no one will turn down more dollars until I finish this miracle. ”

Kusa nodded, "You're right, so this time, you're going to fight these people who wander on the edge of gray?" ”

"Don't say it so bloody, I didn't want to die, why declare war with them, I just want to tell them that there is a price to pay for leaving me to eat alone."

"What are you going to do if Harvey doesn't do that?"

"I'll do what I tell him, do you think I'm joking? If you don't want to swallow the loss, then it's better to go to war. ”

There was silence in the living room for a while, and the ticking of the pendulum clock began to take over, indicating that everyone was thinking.

"I know where your confidence lies, yes, if you open up your industry, with the current size and influence of MB, no Hollywood company will be against you because of this, but are you going to do it?"

Daniel smiled, an additional result of his psychological guidance from Dechar, "To say or not to say, just to see if it is needed or not, and if it is needed, why don't I say it?" In fact, as DD and I invest more and more, it will become more and more difficult for MB to hide our relationship, because it is impossible for me to use my strengths outside of the principles. What's more, MB is getting bigger and bigger, and Javier can't hide it for long. Kusa, you probably can't imagine the influence that MB might have in the future, which means that it can't be completely in the hands of an unknown company, and if it's Russian or Iranian, what then? So the listing is inevitable, and so is my exposure. It's just sooner or later.

So, I realized that I didn't really have to hold my breath, did I? I had to have the consciousness of an automatic money printing machine, not to mention that I had a bank behind me. And, most importantly, don't underestimate Xavi, he's not me, he's not 23, he's going to know what to choose.

Cussa, don't ask, you already know all this in your heart, don't you? I'm not going to lose because I can afford to lose. Because this is America, this is Hollywood, this is an era when money reigns supreme, and I, in my opinion, are one of the most profitable stars in Hollywood. ”

"This time, I'm really sure that you will be the Oscar winner."

Triver said.

"Yes, I'm Oscar-winning Daniel. Sandler. (To be continued.) )
