Robert. Iger is right, which is why Saya, New Line Pictures, after learning about this incident, asked Daniel to side with "The Lord of the Rings" so rudely, instead of discussing with him a way that is satisfactory to all parties.

Both New Line and Disney have something in common.

On Disney's side, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is destined to make a sequel, and even Robert's idea is to finish the second and third parts consecutively, so as to avoid more uncertainties, after all, the series is the third part, with a box office of the size of "Pirates of the Caribbean", even Orlando. Bloom and Kayla. Knightley is probably going to be asking for tens of millions, not to mention Daniel. Sandler, investment rights are one thing, but that is already a sure thing, and Daniel's own salary will definitely not be soft.

If the second part can talk about 20+10, that is, 20 million plus 10% of the share, it is already the best plan. The third part, the price code may exceed the 20+20 Hollywood top salary configuration. In this way, coupled with DD Pictures' investment interests, basically Daniel wants to take more than 45% of the revenue of the entire movie, which is really more than Robert can accept.

Therefore, take this opportunity, on the one hand, it can raise the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is basically Disney's income, and it is of course best if it can be higher, and on the other hand, it is to suppress "The Return of the King", which will be released at the end of the year, so that they can't eat it from people of color. In addition to these two points, all that remains is to teach Daniel how to be a human being. In this way, when negotiating the investment for the next part, Daniel can give up the share and moderately raise his basic salary, even if it is 30 million, or even 40 million, it is better than taking 10 points of share.

As for the new line, their considerations are not much different from Disney's.

The most important of these is that the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", that is, the filming of "The Hobbit", Legolas must be added to the new story. In this way, 70,000 US dollars at the beginning, and even 1 million added in the later period, this kind of good thing. It's not going to happen anymore. But let them spend 10 million or more, just for a role with few scenes, Saya is really unwilling. Not to mention, with DD Pictures' habits, maybe. They will also offer to invest in it.

There are enough stakeholders in "The Hobbit", MGM, New Line, Miramax, Weta Digital, if there is another DD Pictures, the motivation of New Line to do a project will be pitiful. After all, you put your heart and soul into making this thing, making the movie, and at the end of the money, only a small half of the money, which is difficult to be satisfied with in any case.

Especially a company like New Line Pictures, which has always hoped that it can get meat out of other people's bowls. I don't want to give a bite to my cake to someone else.

Although Disney and New Line are rivals in this matter, the two still know that they maintain a tacit understanding.

……

Daniel was heard analyzing the lap.

Even Kusa was speechless for a while.

Last time, after they had finished their discussion, Cusa went to contact Finn. Collins, Fein, and Daniel had a pleasant time working together, and the proposal to appoint Daniel as the honorary chair of the Peace Council anyway, or even Fein himself, benefited more and more as Daniel's influence grew, especially on the issue of peace. The protest plan put forward by them has the largest number of participants, and the number of people in society who are willing to come forward is also the largest, so naturally. The influence is also the greatest.

It's a virtuous cycle, and now that Finn is in charge, more and more people are coming to him, which in turn will push his influence to grow further.

If you want to go into politics, or still move forward in social affairs, you will have a little more leeway.

So Daniel contacted him as soon as he could. Of course, he took things seriously and arranged several events for Daniel, such as visiting juvenile offenders, speaking at public anniversaries, and so on.

But before he could do all this, Daniel thought of another meaning.

The reason why I thought of this was because he gave Lang. Meyer called, hoping that Universal Pictures would cooperate in making a little move, but was politely refused.

This forced Daniel to start thinking about what else he hadn't thought of.

Robert's toughness, the brutality of the new line, and the rejection of the globe -- these are already three of the seven, and if you remove MGM, which has been plagued by internal troubles and crumbling recently, the three have taken up half of Hollywood. This is already a situation that cannot be overstated.

Why exactly?

As a result, it is not difficult to think that as long as you turn this corner and consider yourself a little more important, you will be able to see all this.

Obviously, the rapid rise in his voice in Hollywood has made these Hollywood giants feel threatened, and they are trying to suppress Daniel in a way that acquiesces to each other.

"This is the CEO of Disney, and we underestimate Robert." Daniel let out a sigh of relief, "In that case, the previous strategy may not work, Kusa, you contact Stasi. Schneider, I'm going to interview her. ”

"What do you want to do?"

Daniel got up from the couch, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "Since they plan to do this, of course I have to play with them, the rise of DD Pictures, how far can I Daniel go in Hollywood, let's start today." ”

"You're going to go toe-to-toe with them?"

Whether it's Cusa or Trick, everyone's faces have changed drastically, one Disney is enough of a giant, and it's not something that the current DD Pictures or Daniel can shake, not to mention, there are still new lines and half a universe, and Daniel has almost no chance of winning.

Looking at the panicked team members, Daniel seemed a little light-hearted.

"What are you afraid of, I won't lose at all, even if I can't stay in Hollywood, I can still go to Silicon Valley and run F2F for a few years, and when I come back, no one will be able to stop me."

This is where Daniel's confidence lies.

There are a series of companies such as Google, MB, and F2F, and he is not afraid of losing at all, at most he just endures a temporary setback.

Steve. After being squeezed out of Apple, Jobs came to Hollywood to create Pixar, but no matter how successful Pixar was, his ultimate goal was to return to Apple, and even for this, he could sell Pixar to Disney.

It's the same with Daniel, everything he does in Silicon Valley is to achieve success in Hollywood.

Steve Jobs was committed to his own tech dynasty.

What Daniel wants is indeed a Hollywood super-era of his own.

For this. He could also lie dormant in another realm for years - that wasn't a big deal.

Therefore, Daniel's decision is not even a ruin, at most it is a little risky. And he can't blame his team members for making a fuss, either. After all, since the glory days of Hollywood, there has never been a star like this, who is not only invincible in actors and film investment, but also holds billions of dollars in Silicon Valley wealth.

The vast majority of rules. Most of the restrictions, for him, are breakable.

No one raised any objections!

……

"When I hear someone arguing about whether Captain Jack or Legolas is better, even going so far as to break the law and resort to violence, I am not proud, really, I should have been. It is a matter of pride and joy that all the energy, wisdom and sweat I have put into these two characters has paid off, and that I am proud and delighted that people love them, whether they are elven princes or pirate captains. But when it all came to the point where it happened, I didn't think it was something to be proud of.

I even doubt myself when I am in the United States, at the United Nations, in Kenya calling for peace. When I call for opposition to violence and war, are there many people standing behind me and saying that I am so hypocritical, so hypocritical? Because of the movie characters I portrayed. It indirectly induces violence - and youth violence that is so worrying and lamenting.

What an ironic joke.

Since Christmas 1998, I've traveled from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, from a high school graduate who made a living every day as a hot dog to a Hollywood actor who has played so many roles. I've always been grateful, and I think God, my partners, and my fans are the ones who did all this miracle. I was so lucky. So much so that many times when I was alone, I felt terrified of it.

So I set up the 'Science for All People' Foundation, and at that time, I had to pay rent, I had to buy clothes to attend events, I had to pay for car rentals, you know, being a popular idol always had some unavoidable expenses. But my salary is not that high, and my business activities are not as much. Still, I decided to start this foundation because it gave me peace of mind.

I was able to help those in need, and it made me feel like I had lived up to those who helped me.

A lot of people wonder why you, a young actor, would get involved in a topic like anti-war, and I've never expressed my thoughts in public. Yes, the reason is the same, when I get more, so much that it is shocking, as you know, I was paid more than 20 million, I even got a base salary of 40 million in the follow-up contract of "Spy", I invested in movies that earned me more than 100 million, my fans are all over the world, no matter where I go, there are always cheers, applause, flowers, and when I am used to all this, I know that I have to do more to give back to the world.

I don't want all my efforts to be a joke, so I ask my fans, all my young friends, to reject violence, to reject conflict, that cinema should be something that makes people feel happy and happy, and nothing else.

……”

Smack!

Robert turned down the TV.

This was Daniel's public speech at an event of an anti-violence group, and many media outlets relayed the short speech.

He can influence the ABC, but he can't control all the TV broadcasters, Daniel can attract audiences, especially content other than entertainment news, and can stimulate everyone's viewing**, so there are many TV stations that report on his speech this time.

"Daniel is starting to rebel."

Robert rubbed his temples next to Dick, the CEO of Disney Studios.

When Carroll published the article in the Los Angeles Times, Robert thought Daniel would be on the phone, even if it was a question. At least give him a chance to maintain a semblance of peace, which is like boiling a frog in cold water, when Daniel wants to tear everything apart, all the forces around him will tell him that it is not right, that it will not work, and that it will not benefit his own interests.

But Daniel didn't!

He didn't even talk to John. Carroll contacted her, but naturally stopped the cooperation with the Los Angeles Times, and even if Carol couldn't bear it and called in person, it was Cussa who was in vain.

What does Daniel want to do?

Robert squinted and recalled Daniel, who was standing on a half-meter-high platform, and said the "appeal" of "heartache" with a sincere face, and many of the young people who were swept by the TV camera even had red eyes. There is no doubt that they have come very much with Daniel's remarks, and they have turned their contradictions to the young people who resort to violence.

There was a knock on the door, and Dick himself got up and went to open it.

Robert's assistant, Leason, walked in.

"Trick has indeed begun to act, with great intensity, especially on the Internet, and MB officials should have also taken action." Leeson was immediately sent out to learn about Daniel's supporting moves, and now that he's stepped up and focused on youth violence, he's sure to drive the trend.

"Do they already have such strong PR capabilities?"

"At this year's Oscars, Triver really developed Daniel's network, and Weinstein made it a lot easier for him." Leeson glanced at Robert, saw that he had no objection, and replied.

Dick pouted, "Weinstein again, they're not going to do anything good for the company." ”

The conflict between Disney Studios headquarters and Miramax has almost become semi-public, especially within Disney, and Dick's hatred of the Weinstein brothers is almost universally known. At this time, it is of course a matter of benefit and expense to give the Weinstein brothers eye medicine in front of the CEO.

But seeing that Robert didn't say anything, Dick also closed his mouth knowingly, and turned to something else, "What is the relationship between MB and Daniel, it is impossible to say that it is entirely because of Daniel's influence among young netizens, so they have repeatedly given Daniel convenience." You know, even big companies like Disney and Warner don't have this kind of treatment. ”

Robert's eyes suddenly opened.

This is a key point, the importance of MB is needless to say, and the CEOs of major film companies are building personal relationships with Javier.

But no one has been able to replace Daniel's special position.

It's weird. (To be continued.) )
