Chapter 466: The Hero of the Finale is Invincible (I)

Daniel's return to China came at the premiere of "Kung Fu Panda," which will be released in China on June 28, and as part of the film, DD Pictures organized voice actors, including the voice of China's jacky Cheng Li Shan, to hold a low-key and simple premiere in Beijing.

For a month and a half, the country has been immersed in grief, and while what Daniel has done has reduced almost three-fifths of the casualties, the remaining number is still a huge number to be remembered and hurt by countless people. However, the nature of journalists, and the need for the public to still have a normal life, have slowly put film work on the right track.

Daniel has not said anything since the disaster, except for personally donating $1 million to the Red Cross Society of China - which is embarrassing to the US government, and they only donated 500,000 yuan, which is really a bit of a bit unproductive. It can be said that he politely declined countless requests for interviews, comment, and even invitations to love parties from many Chinese literary and art workers. On this incident, he remained almost completely silent.

"Daniel. Sandler may not have been willing to consume the disaster, or perhaps he was unwilling to proclaim his unspeakable prophetic powers about the disaster, so he did not comment on the matter after the disaster in China, and so far countless people have been trying to get something from him, even if it is just a few words. But silence itself can also reveal some information, but we still wonder if his prophetic power really exists.

To do this, we interviewed Morrison, a physician from Carnegie Brain Hospital who has some research on these mysterious human events.

Morrison said that so far, humans have discovered a lot of unpredictable predictions, but despite this, it is still difficult to say that there is a god. is guiding these people. It's just that humans haven't been able to explain these questions scientifically, but the human brain is probably one of the most mysterious and complex building blocks of life in the world - and that's why humans are able to rule the planet. So, there may be some secrets that we haven't yet discovered, and it's these secrets that allow a few people to have extraordinary abilities. Daniel. Sandler may be one of them! It's not particularly hard to accept, it's in a very low percentage, but on Earth, something like this happens almost all the time, just most of it doesn't look like this one. It is not surprising that he saved tens of thousands of people, most of whom may have just made a decision to turn left or right, or a decision to eat fish or vegetable salad first, but the consequences of it determined the impact of the event. Either way, Daniel did a great thing.

Dr. Morrison believes that everything remains an unsolved mystery under science, but this is not unanimous. This ability that began to manifest itself in 911 was evident at the time of Hurricane Katrina, and then this time - it can be said that Daniel's prophetic ability has been proven many times. Was he really guided by God? Even when we think about Daniel's invincibility in many things, is this part of his prophetic powers? Was a prophet really born in Brooklyn?

Comparatively, this newspaper is more convinced of Dr. Morrison's views. After all, Daniel hasn't won the big lotto, has he? ”

For Daniel, here's the trouble. Once his experience is touched by the things that God is talking about, there will be many questions worth scrutinizing.

Like Raymond, Daniel's hand of God in the stock market. He is almost the only one who knows. In the aftermath of the disaster, Raymond was the first to call.

"Are you really able to predict where the stock market is going?"

It's his problem!

You know, he's executing Daniel's dealings with Apple stock and is about to sell them in order to wait until the end of 2008 to make more money and participate in Apple's skyrocketing curve.

At this time, no one is more creepy than him.

"If I could, I wouldn't need to start MB or F2F anymore, would I? I could totally squeeze out Warren. Warren Buffett, really, Raymond, don't think about that kind of good thing, God is not your neighbor, and Lady Luck has not taken a fancy to you. Let's work honestly. ”

There is only one way for Daniel to deal with these troubles, shut up!

He didn't even attend the U.S. premiere of "Kung Fu Panda", only two directors with voice actors entertained guests at the Hilton Hotel. Even though in the question session, countless questions revolve around Daniel, but unfortunately, none of these people can answer for Daniel.

Even the heaviest of them is the voice of Jiaohu Teacher - Angelina. Julie, too, has no position to speak for Daniel.

"He's done something amazing, hasn't he? I think that's enough! ”

Before its release in China, "Kung Fu Panda" had cut nearly 200 million box office in North America, and it has to be said that the in-depth cooperation between Daniel and the Rongcheng Giant Panda Base provided material for Po's cuteness and more jokes. Compared to the more mediocre shortcomings of the original, this "Kung Fu Panda" has been appreciated more widely.

The Washington Post said, "This new computer cartoon from DD Animation is so powerful and inspiring that even if you try your best to resist its charm." ”

The Hollywood Reporter, a more professional reporter, said: "Although the film is primarily aimed at children, the humor of Kung Fu Panda is suitable for people of all ages. ”

The Associated Press also noted the summer animated blockbuster: "Summer blockbusters cost more and more, but they often make viewers feel more and more boring. The simple and light-hearted Kung Fu Panda is an exception. ”

The Washington Times' commentary may be a little more nuanced than these general assessments.

Washington, a city with a special affection for giant pandas, brought back two pandas after Nixon's visit to China, which were placed in the National Zoo in Washington. These two adorable Chinese national treasures have been enthusiastically loved and, to some extent, have even become a symbol of Washington. The Washington Times' coverage also appears to have been influenced by this factor.

"Every Washington citizen who has watched "Kung Fu Panda" may remember 'Mei Xiang' and 'Tian Tian' who arrived at the National Zoo three years ago, yes, Po's cute appearance in the movie is almost exactly the same as the giant panda in the zoo. We can feel the filmmaker's intentions from this. It is reported. The producers have worked closely with the Rongcheng Giant Panda Breeding and Breeding Base in China, which is home to hundreds of giant pandas, and it is clear that they have been closely observed and restored to their form through incredible computer technology.

Every American should visit China's national treasures because they are so cute. And if you really don't have the opportunity, then it's also good to go to the movie to see Po (the giant panda protagonist of "Kung Fu Panda"). ”

Carrying a wave of praise in the United States, Daniel's announcement that he was attending the premiere in China still cheered the global media.

Ahead of the premiere, Daniel gave an interview to Chinese state media to respond to a number of questions.

"Are you worried about being criticized? I mean. That is, to get a higher box office by using the current thing. ”

"Kung Fu Panda suffered that harrowing disaster in China, and we didn't have any idea of using the disaster, really. In fact, Po, the protagonist of the movie, has always been a giant panda, he is a protagonist full of struggle and inspirational spirit, we hope, Chinese kung fu. And the giant pandas, as well as the themes of the movie, can make those who have been hurt stronger. ”

"There are some people who think that your reminders are not getting enough attention, what do you think?"

This female reporter of Xinhua News Agency. It seems that the courage is quite large, and it is quite unusual to be able to raise this issue regardless of whether it can be officially published or not. The response was largely applauded by the public. Of course, there will be some controversy, after all, the absolute number of casualties is quite large. At this point, Daniel is more cent-less.

"I don't think you can say that, it's hard to say that if someone stands up and tells you what's going to happen somewhere, you're going to believe it, and even invest in some prevention. It's hard, after all, no one can predict a disaster. They've done a lot of work and achieved a lot of results, and I think it's really good and commendable. And I know that they're also very careful about dealing with the aftermath of the disaster, and I think that's enough. After all, this is a natural disaster, a natural disaster that cannot be avoided, and all we can do is minimize the damage it causes. ”

"DD Pictures' "Transformers" broke the record of "Titanic", do you think "Kung Fu Panda" will produce a new record?"

"I don't quite think it can do it. "Transformers" is currently second only to "Titanic" in the world, and it is the second in film history, and it is unlikely that "Kung Fu Panda" wants to reach this height. However, I am still more optimistic about its performance in China, because it performs very well in the United States, and I think the Chinese should like it more. ”

"There's news that you've reached an agreement with Marvel, can you confirm that?"

"Haha, we'll have an official channel to release information."

The interview was of a high standard, and apparently Daniel's answer was satisfactory, and the spread of the report was relatively large, which also calmed some speculation to a certain extent.

At the premiere, Daniel also replied to a lot of questions, because of this opportunity, many international media attended the premiere held in Beijing.

A reporter who ran the entertainment line sighed with his peers.

"I've been doing it for more than ten years, and it's the first time I've seen the premiere of a movie attract so many foreign devils."

It turns out that the performance of "Kung Fu Panda" is worthy of the attention it has received, so much so that even Daniel has to admit that his previous actions have brought a lot of benefits to "Kung Fu Panda".

Broke 100 million on Saturday on the first day!

Break 100 million the next day!

Break 700 million in ten days!

The total box office exceeds 1.4 billion! Will be 200 million dollars!

Record! Record! It's all records!

Po has become an irresistible trend in this summer season, and even the organizing committee of the Beijing Olympics has cooperated with DD Pictures to produce an international promotional video, using Po to welcome tourists from all over the world to the capital to watch the Olympics. Flights from Beijing to Chengdu have also become the most popular route at the end of August, and many international tourists will fly directly to Chengdu after watching the Olympics to see the giant pandas, a breeding base that has been hit hard by the disaster, and arguably the first to return to normal.

For Hollywood, what shocked them was the size of the Chinese market.

$200 million for a single piece!

The United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Russia, and Spain are all countries that can be seen as billion-dollar markets – but they have the potential to touch the line, of course. But at the level of 200 million, so far, there is only one market in the United States!

So what does this mean? It means that the Chinese market has become the potential world's second largest film market in the blink of an eye!

It was so unexpected and terrifying.

Until this moment. These Hollywood gods realized how accurate Daniel's first move was - now, no Hollywood power can compete with Daniel in the Chinese market, "Casino Royale", "Transformers", "Museum" and so on are all in the quota of account-sharing films, and there is no semicolon in the whole Hollywood.

The international media's continuous coverage of the Chinese market has objectively boosted the exposure of "Kung Fu Panda", which originally won 630 million worldwide, and has rushed to the edge of 900 million, which means that it has become the third grossing animated feature film of all time. Second only to Pixar's Finding Nemo and DreamWorks' Shrek 2!

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle.

DD Pictures and Marvel Studios jointly issued a statement, saying that the two parties reached an agreement that DD Pictures will wholly acquire Marvel in the form of cash and debt!

Since then, this comic giant, which has been created for more than half a century, has been acquired by DD Pictures.

While the iron is hot, Marvel Studios immediately announced that DD Pictures will inject $500 million to start filming three superhero movies!

"Iron Man", "Captain America", "Thor"!

"The era of 'Spider-Man', 'Batman' dominating superhero movies is about to pass? Who will be the new leader in "Iron Man" and "Captain America"? ”

The media's response to this thunderous statement was also very enthusiastic.

Previously. When it comes to superhero movies, Marvel's Spider-Man is the number one seed, but alas, it now belongs to Sony Columbia. Marvel itself doesn't get much benefit. This is followed by Warner's "Batman" and "Superman", and then Marvel's own two Hulks.

But Daniel. Sandler's intervention is still enough to make countless people have more reverie.

In July, Batman: The Dark Knight exploded. This reverie is further complicated. Opinions began to diverge, although it was widely believed that Daniel's superhero film would have the potential to be a remarkable success. However, whether it can surpass "Spider-Man" and "Batman" has caused very different opinions.

Some people think it's hard, others have faith in Daniel.

The discussion is not even limited to ordinary people, but also among the senior officials of Warner, who owns DC, and Sony Columbia, which owns "Spider-Man".

Of course, there are differences of opinion.

So far, everyone has been shouting for many years, but the movie that surpasses "Spider-Man", so far, it seems that only one "The Dark Knight" has just been able to achieve this achievement, and the rest of the attempts have all ended in failure. Daniel is indeed a cow, but he may not be able to do what so many people have not been able to do - once again knock out "Spider-Man" and even the new superhero movie box office champion "The Dark Knight". Therefore, what is difficult for Daniel to do is actually the mainstream opinion.

But Warner's Robinoff unexpectedly took a different view.

"Look at it, he just started to say that he wanted to shoot, and public opinion has become so hot that we can't help but start discussing. Why? Because he's Daniel. Sandler, as long as there is this person, anything impossible will happen, he found two common elements from China - kung fu and pandas, made a cartoon, and then won 900 million in the world, isn't this unbelievable enough, what else can't happen? ”

In fact, not as casual as Robinov said, Daniel is grabbing the screenwriter and the director, and the original work has too many shortcomings, especially "Captain America", and he is almost going to re-do the story. The original works are actually quite rough, and the crew configuration is relatively low, which is related to Marvel's financial pressure. But for DD Pictures, this point is non-existent. In particular, the special effects can save some investment for DD Pictures internally. As long as there is a relatively large increase in the box office, these investments are very worthwhile.

It can be said that DD Pictures' determination to promote this series of projects is very strong, and the action is also very fast and neat.

Robert Jr. Downey will star in "Iron Man"!

Chris. Evans is the original Captain America, starring in "Thor"!

And the starring role of "Captain America" and a statement he released later triggered a real tsunami for the entire Hollywood summer of 2008.

Daniel. Sandler will personally star as Captain America.

"Avatar or Captain America? Which one do you think will be Daniel's first bad film? ”

The sarcastic made this post on the forum. The replies are not the same.

"After winning his third Oscar, Daniel has completely given up the pursuit of art, and now he only knows money, only commercial films. I said that Oscar should not have given him a third Oscar at all. ”

"Before "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Night at the Museum" came out, there were such voices, but Daniel told everyone that even if it was a commercial film, he was better than others! Don't forget, the commercial film "Pirates" in your mouth. won an Oscar for Daniel. ”

"It's good to have a movie to watch, but I'm most afraid that he will suddenly stop filming one day."

"Above, don't worry, Daniel is not yet 30 years old, and it would be too early to stop now."

But that's sometimes the case.

After announcing that Daniel would personally star in "Captain America", Daniel himself immediately issued a statement.

"Over the years, I've had a lot of opportunities, worked with a lot of great people, and I've achieved some results. It's all up to the audience and my buddies. "Captain America" is a very special story, Steve Brown. Rogers made outstanding contributions to humanity during World War II and is one of the symbolic spirits of the United States. I think I can use this work as my last new project. I feel honored. So, I want to tell you that, in addition to the series I'm starring in so far, the third installment of Pirates of the Caribbean to be exact. As well as two sequels to Night at the Museum, and several parts of Captain America, I won't be starring in new movies. ”

There is so much information to be revealed in this statement!

There is only a third installment of Pirates!

There are only three "Museums"!

Only the plan for "Captain America" is still unknown. After all, it hasn't even taken its first steps yet.

Of course, the most important one, without a doubt, is Daniel's half-shadow decision!

"Daniel decided to go into a quasi-shadow state"

"Want to see Daniel's new character? You won't stand a chance except Captain America! ”

"Daniel, who was standing behind the peak, decided to retreat bravely."

"Farewell? The legend will be frozen in Captain America! ”

Countless headlines, countless topics, countless inventory, Daniel's statement can be said to have turned the whole of Hollywood upside down.

The media certainly fell into a carnival, and the fans were no slouch, shouting "There will be no good movies to watch from now on", and elated "I don't have to see Daniel again. Sandler was inexplicably "Legolas, Captain Jack, Jason. Bourne, it's all a thing of the past! ”

The peers in the circle are also mixed, and the actors are secretly excited, with one less giant opponent and one less mountain that can't be crossed, Daniel will be solidified in the palace from now on, and will never come to compete with them again. Many actresses and directors who hope to have the opportunity to work with Daniel feel a little lost, perhaps, they just missed the opportunity to collide with one of the most unprecedented legendary actors.

But no matter who you are, at this moment, you suddenly realize.

Yes, Daniel has become a legend!

There is no moment clearer than this time, because after hearing the news, everyone spontaneously and consciously, even subconsciously, sent Daniel to the Hall of Legends!

……

"How? Isn't it relaxing? ”

Kusa sat across from Daniel for a long time, and Daniel's decision certainly wasn't hasty. Kusa was the first to know, Daniel has been thinking about the problem of half-rest films, and today, his pursuit of movies is not so strong, of course, there are three Oscars, but more importantly, it may be that success in other aspects has provided Daniel with a fresh sense of accomplishment, thus evading his obsession with films. Whether it is F2F and his social empire, or the industrial clusters in Hollywood that have already included DD Animation, MGM, Marvel, Weta Digital, etc., as well as the global investment work of Plutos Investments, all of these have opened up a new world for Daniel.

Moreover, although 2015 is still relatively far away, it is also something that Daniel must do to prepare for the loss of the prophetic advantage as soon as possible, and today, he is surrounded by too many people, whose futures are pinned on him, and he cannot but think about it.

Therefore, on the whole, it is an inevitable decision to maintain low-frequency exposure and fully shift energy to the background.

"Captain America" is a good choice, one in two or three years, no more, no less.

Daniel smiled at Cusa's ridicule, perhaps only Kusa knows how much work and effort they have done since the earliest days to today. People outside are watching his achievements, but many people can't see it, Daniel's almost robot-like insistence on diet and exercise in order to maintain his figure, and they can't see how much effort he spends to lift weights after sinking into one role after another. For so many years, he has almost never really rested, working all the time, whether it is in the movie or in the company, these ten people may not be able to complete the work, he is alone, just like that.

In Kusa's heart, Daniel is also a legend, not only for his achievements, but also for his endless energy, ascetic-like control, and brutal self-analysis like a scalpel...... All of these have made Daniel what he is today.

Even Daniel himself dares to say that even if there is a person like him who has such a creation, he may not be able to achieve the same achievements as him.

His dedication is worthy of God's creation!

"It's complicated, but it doesn't feel bad!" (To be continued.) )
