Not far from Daniel's home, Universal has chartered a rental mansion in Malibu with a second-floor balcony facing the beach, and the interior is luxuriously furnished.

Daniel had heard that there were bigger and more extravagant villas on Malibu Beach, which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for an event, but so far, he has not had the opportunity to see them.

After entering the pie, Daniel immediately felt a completely different treatment, the last time the universal warm-up pie duì, he was just a well-loved new star, but this time, he is already a downright popular star, although the coffee position is unstable, but the status of the B-grade star is basically stable before the failure of his next movie, and even in recent times, his scenery cannot be said to be weaker than that of A coffee.

Stasi and his conversation were very early this time, and they talked more about the fact that "Spy Shadow" will definitely be happy to cooperate, and even pave the way for the next cooperation.

According to Daniel's current itinerary, he will return to New Zealand in October to complete the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", and then come back and start filming "Spy Shadow" immediately, the following is the release of "Legally Blonde", the new film plan is still in the pipeline, on the one hand, the producer is waiting, he has a lot of films, it is understandable to look at the effect of "Gladiator" and then bet, on the other hand, Daniel is waiting, "Spy Shadow" 5 million salary is already high, but after "Gladiator", Daniel's commercial film price should be at least this price, and if he does have some substantial wins in the awards season, I am afraid there is still room for three or five million to float.

He has a full schedule this year, and there is really no need to sign now.

Ridley's face is full of red light, the old saying of the Chinese is good, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the high-reputation "Gladiator" has become a popular choice for this year's Oscars, with Ridley's connections, the public relations capabilities of DreamWorks and Universal, nomination is no longer a problem, and winning awards is also very likely.

"Danny, thank you for your amazing look." Ridley gave him a bear hug when they met, and Russell Crowe laughed while he drank and laughed, and when we let go, the two of us hugged affectionately.

This is an open faction, reporters are allowed to enter, of course, no one will not go around with a cannon barrel without a long eye, but it is certainly allowed to take a few photos of the crew getting along well at a certain angle.

Daniel knew that Crowe must have a grudge against him.

While all the analysis suggests that Russell Crowe was crucial to the box office, Daniel's popularity is clearly misleading to the perception that "Gladiator" relied on Daniel. Fortunately, the Oscar judges and industry celebrities are not ordinary people, and they understand the importance of Crowe, which may be an important reason why he can still maintain a stable state of mind.

But so what, the intrigue between Hollywood female stars is world-famous, and male stars are actually not far behind, but the means are much more secretive and ruthless, and they are generally not known to outsiders.

The word "interest" does not distinguish between men and women.

After the warm moment of the "Gladiator" crew ended, they naturally spread out to socialize in all directions.

Daniel deliberately stayed for a moment.

"Isn't Tim in Los Angeles?" He raised his glass and touched Ridley, Tim Rowland, the film investor of the "Snow Eagle Fund", after Daniel took David to visit, Tim left Los Angeles, and then he never contacted him again, and the movie opportunity he said was gone, he is now about to arrange next year's film contract, if Tim's film is stranded, then his schedule will have to be arranged.

"He's gone to Europe, don't you have his contact information?"

Ridley knew that Daniel and Tim were still in contact later, and Daniel had nothing to hide, so he told him what Tim had said, "I can't tell you about this phone call." ”

After a few words, Daniel began to wander around in the pie duì, and now from now on, the time of hiding lazy in the pie duì is gone.

Producers, directors, actors, members of film industry associations, film funds, even Wall Street people, city officials, each of them are powerful enough people to befriend, and maybe at some point, that friendship can make a big difference.

The main program of Pai Duì is, of course, to celebrate the box office of over 100 million, and it is quite a headache for Daniel to deal with this group of reporters who have been invited.

He's been in a lot of exposure lately - in line with his current coffee position, so it's not easy to repeat the questions he's answered many times.

"I don't think you'd be willing to go through the interviews I've given during this time, and you probably wouldn't have any questions to ask me."

At the beginning, Daniel teased himself, "You know I've been so much on the news, I've said it several times, and I suspect your readers and viewers are getting bored." ”

The reporters laughed a lot, but they still had to ask.

It's nothing more than how to look at the box office, whether you have the confidence to win the award, what is the story of "Spy", the sharing agreement of "Legally Blonde" and so on.

Daniel's answer is indeed the same as before, very happy, very exciting, very pleasant.

Until Melissa said the last question, because there were still people waiting for the interviewee to be interviewed.

A brown-haired male reporter asked a new question.

"There is news that after the premiere of "Gladiator", some film critics were hired to give you bad reviews, behind which is Johnny Depp, and there is also news that you originally planned to sign Depp's agent, and then signed with Kusa Damon, may I ask, is this true? Do you have a grudge against each other? ”

Daniel's brow furrowed slightly, the news about his signing had been circulated before, and it was not the first time he had been asked, but about the news of Depp's shady hands, as usual, Tracy couldn't let it out.

"Different people have different opinions, I don't think my performance can be recognized by everyone, I think I am very satisfied with the fact that so many audiences and fans recognize this role, as for the other things that have not happened, I don't think there is any need to say too much. Thank you, thank you. ”

It wasn't until he sat in the car that Daniel was still thinking that there must be a purpose in picking out this topic.

What does Tracy or Depp want to do? Borrow him from the east wind?

It seems that there is no need for this, and even exposing one's shortcomings for this is a bit more than worth the loss.

"Once Upon a Time in Mexico?" Daniel suddenly thought of something, "Melissa, Robert Rodriguez's new film is not ever in contact with us." ”

"Yes, but it's still early, you have to come back from New Zealand to go to the audition, and they just handed in the script if you want."

Is it for the sake of this movie?

Johnny Depp has been very prolific in recent years, because it doesn't particularly make sense for a movie to do this kind of action.

But that's a hint for Daniel Sandler.

That movie must be in the making.

Pirates of the Caribbean!

Disney's attempt at live-action films, no one expected it to be a success, except for Daniel.

"Melissa, can you help me pay attention, does Walt Disney have a pirate-themed live-action movie recently?"

"Live-action film?" Melissa repeated.

"Yes, you heard it right, you can't expect Disney to only play cartoons forever."

Melissa shrugged her shoulders to indicate that she remembered.

"Huh?"

Daniel's personal cell phone rang suddenly.

"Where's the call?"

Muttering, Daniel picked up, "Hello, I'm—"

His face changed suddenly.
