AA, Motion Picture Association of America, is arguably the ultimate force hidden behind Hollywood. ,

The presidents and chairmen of the Big Seven are all members of the association, and Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax, as well as Robert Saya of the new line, are not qualified to participate in the top decision-making level of AA. In addition, the entire association that holds the lifeblood of Hollywood is also the spokesperson of Hollywood, whether it is public relations on Capitol Hill or the division of territory around the world, there are usually some overt or covert ways of communication within the association.

Hollywood itself has always had an important place as an important part of American soft culture, although its annual output is nothing in absolute terms, compared to a supergiant like Wal-Mart, let alone the vampires of Wall Street's black gold merchants. However, Hollywood's influence cannot be measured in terms of output value.

In China, propaganda is generally half a level higher than other ministries, and the same is true for Hollywood.

Whether it's President Ronald Reagan, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has just been elected governor of California, entertainment stars who have gone straight into politics, or Sean Penn George Clooney, and Daniel himself, these superstars who are not clear with the power figures. Especially in democratically elected countries, the people are always blind, and the political tendencies of celebrities, to a certain extent, not to mention left and right, are at least enough to affect the election situation in one place. Daniel, for example, is an authoritative prediction on anti-war issues as coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq have been bogged down. It has been mentioned more and more often by major professional media figures as evidence of the Bush administration's obstinate behavior, and Democratic congressmen are now shouting anti-war as if they had eaten the votes they had cast in favor of the war. Including Senator Healy, as a remnant of New York State, she also voted in favor of the war vote at the beginning, and now she has begun to speak out and has begun to criticize the original decision that makes people feel that she is not very solid, but the anti-war sentiment is growing day by day. If it is really as Daniel predicted, the US-Iraq war will last for ten years. That will go through two presidential elections, and Senator Healy is interested in winning the throne, which is not special news. In November this year, George W. Bush will end his first term in office. At present, it seems that it is difficult for Kerry and Dewards of the Democratic Party to challenge his position Generally speaking, the re-election of US presidents is very frequent, and the incumbent president who has the initiative must have a huge advantage when running for election, so Senator Healy should aim for 28 years.

In fact, Daniel is also well aware that Ciri did fight in 28 years. Unfortunately, he was knocked out by an African-American young man from Illinois, and he didn't even make it past the party primary. Daniel doesn't think he has the power to influence the situation. But in general, Healy, who will succeed as secretary of state, is still very valuable for investment, not to mention, before he came to the United States, this 6-year-old man was planning to run for 216 again, which can be described as old and strong. Dominate the political arena.

The change of words by Healy and others is at least to consider voters. It is also the perception of ordinary people, and Daniel is the same, his influence is also based on the perception of ordinary people. He never repeatedly, he always insisted that the war was wrong, and that he would never grandstand, which would certainly win a favor.

In addition, Daniel's activities in Africa have also impressed many people, and he certainly did not waste this resource. The presence of two African ambassadors at the party in Washington is a testament to this. Many African countries have been criticized by Western countries, especially the United States, for being very bad in the fields of democracy and human rights, which directly leads to the instability of the position of the rulers. So having a Hollywood superstar who can present them with a more enlightened and affectionate image in the United States must be very popular with the authorities.

As for whether the influence of the leader of a small African country is comparable to that of a legendary superstar like Daniel, that is also a matter of opinion.

AA basically controls the channels of communication between Hollywood and the political circles, and it also adds to the authority of this organization.

And since Daniel and Robert Iger fought, the two sides shook hands on the surface, but Daniel also knew that Robert began to do things elsewhere, this time, Robert, who attached great importance to everything, put things within the framework of AA, although he did not hold a summit solemnly, but also communicated many times within this framework, telephone, or meetings between three or three, with the help of temporary exchanges on some occasions, etc., Robert did do a lot of work for this. It's not that Daniel hasn't heard a little bit of the news, but these people who can know the details will not reveal their hearts to him, including Stassi Schneider, who seems to be more close, she was "threatened" by Daniel, and now I am afraid that the fear in her heart is second only to Robert Iger.

Still, when Robert mentions his plans, the others are stunned.

Let Daniel be crowned the emperor Oscar

"Are you crazy Robert?"

Paramount's Brad Gray is not very close to Daniel, having had a brief exchange at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean. There is no way to understand what Robert has raised.

"You're really not doing something for him, I heard that Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean sequel has been talked about almost, he will return to filming next year, and there are countless film appointments, and you have to please him at this time, and it's easy to understand. But, Robert, are you taking us all for fools, and I can guarantee that if he were to return to New York to run for the Senate, the former first lady would have a hard time. Now, you're going to give him a repeat actor and make him a real legend in Hollywood, and I'm really curious how much he has done you."

"Is it true that Daniel joined Miramax," Fox's McNicker asked suddenly.

These are some of Hollywood's top personalities, and it's rare to have any information to hide from them.

It's no secret that Robert invited Daniel to Miramax himself. After the Weinstein brothers and Disney became public, the news spread even more brazenly. In this, if there is no Robert in the pipeline. It's also unlikely that he really wants that, or whether he is using it to drive a wedge between Daniel and Harvey and give the Weinstein brothers one less way to hook up, no one knows.

When McNicoke asks now, it's not necessarily that he really thinks so, but it's just a sarcasm of Robert Iger.

When I met with Robert. Warner's Jeff Robinoff tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, his brow furrowed.

"What the hell do you think?"

That's certainly the question that all the people who meet with Robert really ask. It is also a question that Robert must have prepared, otherwise he rashly mentioned that he wanted to win a back-to-back actor for Daniel, and it would be impossible to say that everyone raised their hands in favor. Whether it's Brad or McNico, their attitudes are not difficult to understand. No matter how you say it, the ultimate goal is the same as Jeff's.

Why

What reason do you have

How are you going to convince me?

"Jeff, first of all, for the studio, what is the difference between Daniel who won another Oscar and today's Daniel, he can be stronger, he can call a salary of 100 million, he can make DD Pictures the eighth largest film company in Hollywood, the new United America"

Jeff shook his head, he understood what Robert meant, in addition to the ceiling set by the Seven for stars, the profession itself has a ceiling. Now Daniel has reached the ceiling. In any case, he couldn't go any further.

As for how to judge that he has reached this apex.

Except for Daniel. Only the ceiling that he reached had a direct feeling.

Jeff glanced at Robert, he didn't like to turn around, besides, now that Robert was making this happen, he had enough to stand straightforward.

"The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, what price did he ask for 22"

He knew that Daniel owned 30% of the investment. If it is really 22 as he guessed, then it is obvious. Daniel wants to take almost half of the proceeds in the pirate sequel, and a sequel with 8.1 billion in the world has to take half of it, which can be called the ceiling anyway Didn't Tom Cruise hit Paramount's ceiling Mission: Impossible is not as good as Pirates of the Caribbean.

After a pause, Robert knew that if he didn't give something real today, it would definitely be difficult to impress these colleagues.

Who is dumber than whom, and no one is dumber than whom

"I hope that the last two sequels will be filmed back-to-back, with a total budget of 500 million," Robert has always been very decisive, and since he has decided to make it clear, he will no longer shy away from it, "This is also considering the lack of cash flow of DD Pictures, which will give up part of the investment rights, in addition, I also hope to limit his share and give a relatively high basic salary." Daniel did not agree, they insisted on shooting separately to relieve the financial pressure, and in addition, he asked for 30,000 basic chapters in the second part, and 2 shares. ”

Jeff almost gasped.

Daniel's price is too harsh.

"Unbelievable, how could he have called out this price"

There is no reason, although Warner and Daniel don't do much, but his New Line Pictures and Daniel are old acquaintances. Jeff is also very concerned about Daniel, knowing that this person is not so ignorant. But since Robert said that Daniel called out the price, it was undoubted.

This baffled him.

"At first, I mean, he didn't offer such aggressive terms since the last time we détente, but with the temporary departure of him from Hollywood, the ambiguity that had been clear all of a sudden, you know, he's been flying around Washington and Silicon Valley lately, and occasionally coming back to Los Angeles to meet only with DD Films."

Daniel's whereabouts can't hide Robert and the others, and even the Washington Post's Bradley can attend the party, it's hard to hide it from them.

The level of the party is so high and the crowd is so rich that Robert can't help but feel confused and nervous.

"Can't tell what he's up to?"

"I can't touch it, he pays attention to his whereabouts very much, and it's not easy to know his approximate whereabouts."

The anti-reconnaissance skills of Hollywood stars have accumulated over time, especially a master like Daniel, since he entered the industry, he has been fighting against a large number of paparazzi of different varieties, and he can be said to have quite profound attainments in secrecy. Robert is not FB, he can call up all kinds of information, and it is not easy for him to grasp Daniel's general itinerary.

Politicians: Silicon Valley, Hollywood is indeed a worrying combination.

"Okay, then let's go back and talk about it, Lian Zhu Actor, what do you think about it?"

"He's fumbling for the ceiling, and we'll push him again and make him bump into it," said Robert, grimacing.

Speaking of which, he didn't need to bother anymore.

Whether it's Jeff McNicle or Brad and others, they should understand what he means.

The moon is full and the water is overflowing, and the prosperity is declining, of course they know these truths.

Daniel is at his peak now, and he can't pull him down, so continue to push him and shorten his peak period.

With Daniel's current market, and the last consecutive actor, anyone can imagine what the result will be, and Tom Hanks can also roughly make an example.

The fire cooks the oil, and if it is overburned, it is a handful of ashes.

Human beings have the ability to create gods, but they also have the instinct to destroy them.

Daniel stands too high, which in itself can become an uncomfortable point.

Pushing Daniel into this embarrassing situation, he would become a more obedient money-making tool, and although necessary, it would not be so unaffordable.

Originally, with the power of these members of AA, if they wanted to contain Daniel, they could use more brutal methods. However, Robert first understood why Daniel's tentacles were too long, hard-hitting, and it was difficult to have a good result, Hollywood is not a kingdom, and they are not irreplaceable, even if they are united, as long as one is replaced, the alliance will not break itself.

But if you use the strategy of killing, that's no problem.

No matter what they are thinking, no matter whether they are good or bad in their hearts, but the actor himself is a Hollywood actor who walks on the ladder of legend, and they hand it to Daniel, which is completely a legitimate and bright conspiracy.

Robert eventually convinced everyone.

However, Daniel doesn't know yet, and neither does the actor super favorite Sean Penn.

But the wind soon hit Daniel's ears.

The call came from Harvey Weinstein which it was a bit of a surprise, but then Trick hasn't gotten word yet.

"There are forces canvassing for you."

Harvey knew that Daniel had no intention of doing this, and did not use any connections, so this sign of the machine was a little meaningful.

Looking at the F2F's report and putting down the phone, Daniel rubbed the bridge of his nose. To be continued
