The unexpected encounter with Lin Xilei brings some unexpected surprises to Daniel's life in Vancouver, and although Daniel is used to it, Daniel still needs strong self-control to avoid negative effects on his work - boring, repetitive, and familiar characteristics are all problems to overcome in the course of work.

Filming for "Night at the Museum" was supposed to end in mid-April, followed by two or three months of post-production - a small business for Weta Digital, because the special effects requirements for "The Museum" were not at all on the level of "The Lord of the Rings." This is a low-budget comedy movie, the important thing is the comedy effect, not the gorgeous special effects scenes, you have been making the cilia of prehistoric dinosaurs, for the movie itself, it is not so important, but the budget will skyrocket rapidly, after all, the special effects cost of movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", in the end, every minute of footage can be spread out to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is the price of the special effects era, Chinese are often ridiculed in movie special effects, which is also unavoidable, hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of yuan, just for a minute of effect, not including all other expenses, which is still the hand of most Chinese films in ten years. Hollywood films often fail to recoup their money at the box office in North America, but global fame can help them make a profit, and the well-established and abundant other profit channels can also greatly reduce the cost pressure - which is not the case for Chinese films.

The Oscars Eve party was held at the Beverly Hilton on March 4, and the biggest party of the year was hosted by The New York Times, and is usually hosted by studios, major media outlets, agencies, and more. DD Pictures is actually planning to do it, and I can't say what it really represents, but when people try to understand the status of a company, they often do think about it. One of the most notable is Vanity Fair magazine, which hosts its annual post-Oscar celebration party. It has received considerable brand blessings.

The Oscars are definitely not a solitary awards show at the Kodak Theatre on the night of March 5, which can be summed up. In fact, it needs to include at least 100 before and after parties of all kinds. Miramax holds a warm-up party for his shortlisted films every year, inviting many stars and producers in the circle to help, which is very eye-catching every year. The four major brokerage companies, especially the party of CAA, attracted the most attention, and many stars and directors under CAA will gather together. The important thing is that if you want to find a beautiful lady or a strong man to accompany you through the long nights, and give your money, status, and popularity, you can easily get what you want. Every year, CAA's parties attract many models and young actors who want to join them. They are often ubiquitous, from ordinary CAA staff members to high-profile agents such as Kusa. Damon, if he wants to open the ring with Jones on his back, he will definitely be able to taste all kinds of beauties all over the world without repeating the same thing for three months, regardless of age and gender.

Some charitable organizations will also take this opportunity to attract enough visibility for themselves. They often have a symbiotic relationship with celebrities, and celebrities hope to gain praise from public opinion. Philanthropic organizations, on the other hand, want to gain visibility and thus attract donations. Sandler's charity party will certainly attract far more donations than a charity party with only a few third-rate stars. But unfortunately, Daniel, who owns the "Science and Technology for All" Foundation. He never throws or attends such parties, because his foundation brings together some of the most promising high-tech companies in Silicon Valley — Google, F2F, MB, PayPal, Microsoft, Apple, and so on. "Science and technology benefiting all beings" that work closely with the United Nations are far from being comparable to those gimmicks of all kinds of organizations.

These parties, each with its own characteristics, are dominated by older whites in luxury hotels. and a young black movie star chartering a carnival in a small park, the two are certainly different.

The New York Times party was quite close to the people. Hilton did not decorate the venue with any splendor of gold, a small hall and a garden, which provided more than 300 invited guests with a different enjoyment from other high-end parties. Everyone's dress is also mostly civilian, long and swayable evening dresses are rare, and short dresses are the mainstream choice. Men don't all wear suits and ties, and there are more than one or two who wear casual and natural clothes. Jackson wore a thick leather coat and took Francis in a small purple gown to navigate the venue. "King Kong" made them a regular at various ceremonies and parties throughout the awards season, and although they didn't receive any mainstream awards, as a director, he always had to stand up for his work.

Daniel. Sandler is still in an unflawed red carpet outfit, with hair, makeup, clothes, shoes, watches — Shilm thinks tonight is a rehearsal for tomorrow. In fact, when preparing for the Oscars, the clothes for the eve party were already ready.

A few days ago, Entertainment Weekly made an annual summary of 2005 to select the hardest Hollywood actors in 2005.

Daniel is undoubtedly number one!

His investments in different areas of company and investment, his roles in "The Immortal Gardener" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", his role as ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) - all of which constitute Hollywood's most insanely busy Daniel Brown. Sandler, the weekly said, had "the energy and natural intelligence that everyone would envy." At the end of his commentary, the editor wrote, half-jokingly, "In addition to all this formal, even great work, Daniel has the hard job of being a global super-icon on all occasions, and yes, you never see Daniel out on the street, and you never see Daniel's failed look on the red carpet." His smile always shows eight teeth, his head tattoo is strangled in the cradle, and his eyes are as charming as ever, staring at the camera or the guest at all times—for years. Sometimes we have to quietly imagine that maybe Daniel is a robot running out of a laboratory, with super intelligence, a perfect shell, a mechanism that doesn't need to rest, and all the actions are dictated by a set of coding programs, but other than that, we really can't think of it. How exactly did he get to where he is now? ”

"Weekly" questions, I'm afraid that only Daniel himself in the world can answer, sometimes Daniel will also ask himself, life back, start over at a new starting point, why live so tired, if he accepts a slightly mediocre Daniel, maybe now every day, should be spent on vacationing to tropical islands, going to France to eat some top food. Find a few Victoria's Secret angels to go shopping and discuss life. Instead of going from the set to the award ceremony, from the award ceremony to the negotiation room, from the conference room to the chairman's office, as is the case now...... There's never a time to stop. Daniel's answer to himself was actually very simple: since God had given him a new chance, he should see how far he could go, using up his energy, his wisdom, his strengths, his perseverance, all these things that had been given to him again.

That's why he's able to do it, and he's willing to do it.

……

The New York Times' executive editor-in-chief, Janet Brown. Robinson, standing at the door, greets Daniel's arrival.

As a benchmark for journalism. Janet, the head of The New York Times, is well-known and powerful across the United States.

Daniel wasn't familiar with her, but in Tricker's network, it was a fairly important node, and he wasn't his own. But not the enemy either. The Times sometimes causes some trouble for Daniel, and sometimes it helps him, largely depending on the paper's values — even the Republican Party has failed to pull it out of the Democratic faction, and Daniel doesn't think he can do that.

"Hi. It's a pleasure to see you tonight. ”

Janet took a few quick steps, and perhaps on another occasion, she didn't have to be so enthusiastic about Daniel. But at the New York Times' Eve party, Daniel was certainly one of their most honored guests. Janet and Daniel hugged and Melissa behind him. Ryan clasped his hands and seemed to have a good feeling.

This is not surprising to Daniel, Melissa, as the chief content officer of DD Pictures, is targeting an important copyright group is the New York Times bestseller list, although the copyright does not belong to the New York Times itself, but Melissa still can't avoid close communication with the Times, plus she is also a member of Daniel's agency team, and there are many people who are willing to maintain a closer relationship with her.

The Times seems to be taking today's party quite seriously. Sozberg was in attendance. Daniel was talking to Pearson, the president of the college, as he walked into the room, and soon walked over with a smile on his face.

Of course, he walked quite slowly, unlike Janet.

Daniel also sped up a few steps, and the two met just in time on the road.

"Welcome, Daniel."

"Thank you for having me."

"Melissa, you're so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you and good evening."

Soderbergh put his arm around Daniel like an old friend, "Pearson is over there, let's talk about it." ”

Daniel, of course, will not refuse, and despite the fact that the dust has settled on the results of the Oscars, the president of the Academy is still a figure that no actor wants to offend. Melissa followed Janet to other places to socialize. Daniel has been lacking female companions since he became famous, or rather at the top of Hollywood, and Collins is often not in the United States and does not like to attend these events. As for other actresses, Daniel is reluctant to have unnecessary scandals. So, either it's a loner or Melissa. Ryan acts as a female companion. So, Melissa in Hollywood, in fact, is also very well-known, one step before the arrival of Kusa. Damon is not inferior by much.

While Pearson and Southsberg were talking, Daniel's eyes swept the entire venue, and it was not much different from the Golden Globes. Some of the stars who didn't make it to the Oscars also appear here, Brad . Pete and Angelina. Julie is quite dazzling, and the new couple has received more attention and power in their union with each other. Depp and Vanessa are equally eye-catching. Of course, there are also acquaintances of the Golden Globes who did not attend, Russell. Crow lost his Oscar nomination, and I heard that he had already returned to the Australian farm.

In addition to these stars, Daniel also saw a lot of men and women in smart suits, most of whom held film fund managers for projects. Trying to find one or two big stars and communicate about cooperation - often they can't offer high salaries, and the "naïve" hope that the script can impress the actors - not that there are none, but they are rare.

"Daniel is much busier than we are."

Hearing his name, Daniel quickly withdrew his gaze, he had been facing Pearson and Southsberg, smiling, and now retracting his attention, the two old men were of course unaware.

"Daniel, you should enjoy your life well."

"You're saying don't think about the Oscars, do you?" Daniel said to Pearson with a grin, "To be honest, Pearson, I've really had a hard time Oscar lately. ”

The other two laughed, and it was clear that they understood what Daniel meant.

The Sun's Roy. Stan's controversy has been intermittent, and as the Oscars approach, the popularity of these comments on social media has increased, and the Daniel team has remained silent, while Roy has a growing following, which is a bit unpleasant.

"That's the beauty of the Oscars, isn't it? Unless you're no longer an actor and you're no longer standing in front of the stage, you're going to have to put up with all these troubles. Pearson smirked smirked, and that was where his glory lies. Oscar's is the Academy's, it's his. There's no reason why he shouldn't be proud of these things. Although the college also faces some criticism, criticism is influence, and they will pay attention to it, but they will not worry and dislike it.

……

The conversation circle of the three most powerful men at the party is not far away.

This year's Oscar nominee Kayla . Knightley and Best Supporting Actress nominee Rachel. Vichy, the two hot British actresses were standing together at this time, looking over there.

"Kayla, if I were you, I'd find a way to take Daniel." Rachel said that her compatriots are 15 years younger than her, which is the most delicate age, "If it weren't for the fact that I was 10 years older than him and had children, I would definitely have done it." ”

Kayla looked at Daniel in the distance, she was no longer the young Kayla she was when she first joined Pirates of the Caribbean. Knightley knew what Daniel meant in Hollywood.

However, "It's not something I can decide, is it?" (To be continued......)
