Chapter 297: Concocting Fake News
"I wish he could lose once."
There are not a few people who think this way, but obviously, once they have such thoughts, pinning their hopes on Daniel's miss is itself a kind of weakness mentality.
"The Hangover" has attracted much attention, and before its official release, film reviews from all parties have been released.
"Rolling Stone" gave a good review: "It's a family-friendly comedy movie, it's very interesting and tasteful. We've watched a lot of comedy movies, and this one will give people a refreshing feeling, indeed, Daniel. Sandler has an eye for stories. ”
"Entertainment Weekly" also gave a positive review, but with a little bit of the magazine's inherent sourness, "I've seen "The Hangover", although Zack's round buttocks are unforgettable, but compared to the previous expectations, it is a little disappointing - maybe we shouldn't think that this will be the second "My Grand Greek Wedding", this is the only movie-watching advice, if you can do this, you should go to the cinema to watch it." ”
Of course, among the rave reviews, there are also those who don't give much face.
The Chicago Tribune was rather grim: "If you've seen the trailer, don't doubt that you've spent all your money on it — and as for the feature film, it's a waste of anticipation besides your time." "The Hangover" was highly anticipated by DD Pictures as the second installment of the 'wedding series', and they made a rather catchy trailer, plus the owner of the film, the famous Daniel. Sandler, so gave everyone an inappropriate sense of expectation. Oh no, perhaps, the word 'anticipation' shouldn't be mentioned at all, there is nothing to look forward to from beginning to end. ”
……
On the evening of March 23, Fox Cable TV was on the evening of Entertainment News.
The host's red lace top didn't seem to fit well and was a little small. Sandler hasn't been out of our field of vision for a long time, whether it's a newspaper, a weekly, or a television news, no matter when or where you are. Which newspaper to open or which TV station to go to, you can always see his delicate face, he starred in "The Social Network" exceeded 300 million US dollars, and the world has exceeded 500 million; "The Social Network" won three Oscars; Daniel's new film, The Hangover, was well-received by critics and the press. will be released soon, which will add another to DD Pictures' profitable project; Scarlett. Johnson and Natalie. Portman, two female stars born in the 80s with completely different styles, is suspected of being jealous of Daniel on the Oscar red carpet; Daniel's company, DD Pictures, is one step away from acquiring the historic Hollywood production giant MGM Pictures Group...... And so on, countless news, countless glories. With countless halos, this legendary superstar, who has never failed since his debut, may now have a little trouble.
Our reporter got a clue that Hollywood's up-and-coming director Darren . Aronofsky told Fox that Daniel had used infuriating tactics to try to get his hands on a copy of the script -- a copy that was perfectly suited to Natalie. Portman's script, which he bought from a screenwriter back in 2000. After communicating with Aronofsky to no avail, Daniel's staff turned to the original author to ask him to return the filming rights of the script to the original author on the grounds that he had not made the script into a film for many years.
Besides. Aronofsky also accused Daniel of using his influence to ask Warner Bros. to put pressure on him, as he was now filming one of Warner's productions, by Hugh Brown. Jackman and Rachel. Starring Vichy.
After getting the news, we tried to contact Daniel and got no response. As for Mr. Hines, the original author mentioned by Aronofsky, he insisted that under the assignment agreement, Aronofsky was obliged to produce the film within the appropriate time limits - apparently he did not do so, so it was legal and reasonable to withdraw the script.
Whether Daniel used his influence in the industry to force Aronofsky to sell the script, and whether it was really as he said. This script is for Natalie. Portman specially prepared. Perhaps only Daniel himself knows the real answer. ”
Daniel really didn't expect Arrow to do that.
After discussing with him to no avail, Ferguson turned to Hines and found a few of Daniel's co-lawyers, who carefully studied the adaptation rights transfer agreement signed by Hines and Arrow several times. Although Hines's big road agreement does not explicitly stipulate that the film production needs to be completed within a few years of the transfer, there are indeed several clauses that limit the unlimited duration of the copyright, and according to the conventional understanding, there will be no movement for five years. And there are still no shooting plans at present, and it is indeed very likely that Hines can take back the rights to adapt the script.
Ferguson didn't come forward, but just asked Hines to negotiate this issue with Arrow with his lawyer's opinion, and Arrow obviously also found a lawyer, knowing that he was likely to lose the case - return the script for free, so he cleverly accepted Hines's conditions and returned the script to Hynes for 150,000 yuan - strictly speaking, this price is very good, because "Black Swan" is not a complete script, basically only a script outline.
Hollywood attaches great importance to the screenwriting profession, and the money spent on scripts every year is **100 million - generally speaking, if it is a novel, comic or other creative adaptation, then the copyright is the majority, and the later script formation, script doctor and other types of work are in a secondary position. But if it's an original script, it depends on the popularity of the story, and if there are many bids, then it's likely that the price will be high, ranging from tens of thousands to millions.
When Arrow got the script outline of "Substitute Actor" from Hines, it only cost $50,000, and now Ferguson is willing to give him 150,000, which is already very kind.
In fact, after Arrow returned the script to Hines, of course, his heart was not balanced, he originally tried to release the news that Daniel valued the script, and Hines, the bastard who saw the money, would definitely hold the script and wait for a higher bid. Whether or not Daniel gets his hands on it in the end, at least it will give them a little more trouble.
However, when he found a Fox reporter he knew, he gave him another proposal and even contacted Warner's executives.
In the end, the three parties concocted such a piece of news.
Not only did Arrow breathe a sigh of relief and discredit Daniel, but also let Fox get an exclusive negative news about Daniel, as for Warner Bros., their new movie has increased exposure, and Arrow's increased popularity is bound to feed back to "The Source of Love", and they are certainly willing to cooperate. As for Time Warner and DD Pictures working together - it's impossible for this small gesture to affect that level of collaboration, and who's to say you can't do it when you're working together? (To be continued.) )
