After Daniel was resurrected in the United States, at first, he often thought about going back and meeting friends and acquaintances, but the longer he stayed in Hollywood, the more vague his memories of the East Side became. To this day, his memory has been replaced by life in the United States. Those things in the east, when I think about it occasionally, feel very unfamiliar, always like watching a movie.

So the desire to go back has not been very strong, and there is really no opportunity at work.

In the past two years, China's film market has made a lot of progress, and Hollywood has begun to pay attention to it, but the market is too closed, and the cultural differences are relatively large, so it is impossible to pay more attention to it. For example, this time, Disney decided to invite him to take a trip, which must be the news on the page, and it can be said that Hollywood stars of this level have not visited for many years.

The reason why Daniel has to consider one or two is mainly to lay the foundation for the future market development, not to mention, films like Mulan and Kung Fu Panda, in fact, it is very meaningful to pull the Chinese side to do it together, after all, he is a significant strong party, and he only needs to share the box office in their country, and in the world, especially in North America, the interests still belong to him.

However, it doesn't mean that he just goes like this, just for the platform of "Pirates", it is better to wait until the next "Pirates", or his own film.

The main thing is that I went on this trip, and whether I could make friends with some people, such as the heads of the two large state-owned enterprises responsible for the distribution of foreign films.

These still need to be coordinated by Sally, speaking of which, he doesn't have any familiar people with the country now, Vivien has had a few faces, and An Li can still speak, but their influence is also limited, so they still have to find a good opportunity.

……

The expectations for Pirates of the Caribbean are much better than they were when the project was first launched.

In the beginning, when Disney decided to go down the PG-13 line, everyone was skeptical about the project, because it's hard to imagine a company that only does family movies, children's movies, and cartoons. Suddenly, you can achieve something convincing in another area. Although a movie is decided by the director, producer, and lead actors, the characteristics of the production company will definitely permeate subtly, because they are the bosses. Those who can call the shots need to consider the attitude of the boss, otherwise the cooperation may only be such once, and even it is not impossible to change people halfway.

For example, "Pirates", Gore. Verbinski was replaced, despite the public statements of both sides being very friendly. But some people who know the industry must understand what it is for, and the biggest possibility is that the investor is not satisfied with Gore.

There was a time when it was rumored that Johnny. Depp will play Captain Jack - which is even more worrying, a director who hasn't made a few movies and a wandering Tim. The marginal A-list in Burton-esque films, an investment firm that has never set foot in the field. No matter which forecasting agency or newspaper it is, it doesn't dare to say that it is optimistic about this movie.

However, after Daniel announced that he would spend money to join and star.

The situation has changed somewhat.

Daniel though can't compete with Johnny in terms of qualifications. Depp, but he has been tested by big productions all the way. And it has an Oscar, which is very popular. Such an actor will be somewhat reassuring.

In Hollywood, selling is never a qualification.

This year Godie. Han was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and almost no one mentioned it. Hudson, her daughter, is much more exposed than she is.

In the rules of Hollywood, it is not so much seniority as it is that seniority equals obscurity.

Of course, this is a bit of a generalization, but there is always some truth.

Since the beginning of this year, Weta Digital has won the Oscar twice. He won the Oscar, and "Pirates" became popular. Later, "Rwanda", "The Pianist" and "The Imposter God" exceeded 100 million yuan in a row, and public opinion talked more about Daniel's temporary departure from Hollywood next year, and the media and fans "missed" the days without him early. So much so that his works that have not yet been released this year, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Return of the King" are generally bullish.

So many benefits have also given Disney a lot of confidence.

Robert now regrets letting Daniel get rid of it in the first place, looking at these benefits are basically in Daniel's hands, if he can fully participate in the publicity, the insurance coefficient of "Pirate" will be much higher.

In fact. Generally speaking, as the leading actor, and also the leading actor who takes a share, Daniel has to cooperate with all of Disney's promotional itinerary, generally speaking. Of course, he also has privileges as a star, which depends on who is the best in the wrestling between the two sides. But even so, it doesn't mean that Daniel needs to put his other strengths into it, connections, etc., he wants to, of course, but it certainly can't be written in the contract.

What's more, it was Disney who squeezed out his investment, and now it is somewhat unrealistic to expect Daniel to be able to invest without any guilt.

Simply, for a company of Disney's magnitude, as long as you intend to do it, the publicity can always be satisfying. The people who should be covered will definitely be covered, and the potential moviegoers who should be fought for will definitely be taken care of.

It's just a fly in the ointment.

……

Before the movie test screening.

Everyone was chatting with each other.

are all old friends, a popular superstar like Daniel, who has several strong films on the file every year, and these media may be more familiar than their own families.

With dedicated paparazzi and the rising social media MB, the intimate space of celebrities has been compressed at one time.

Almost photos can spread on the Internet, such as a star of Daniel's level, it is more like being stared at with a magnifying glass, and no one can hide any movement, which is one of the reasons why he wanted to go to Google, but had to ask them to send out a formal invitation.

Instead of sneaking around, and then being discovered, and then attracting the suspicion of the whole world, it is better to be generous, so that there can be less messy ideas.

Someone uploaded Jessica on MB before. Alba went to the hospital, in which Jessica had been disguised quite closely, but still couldn't hide it from the photographer. Simply, no one knows what she went to see, and there is still professional ethics in the hospital. Plus he also said hello to MB - not that the aftermath is over, after all, "Pirates" is about to be released, and if something bad news breaks out, he bets that he will definitely be involved in the end.

That's bad.

Jessica escaped the disaster, but there are some young well-known figures, such as Lindsay. Lohan and Robert Jr. Downey was found to be still lingering on drugs, but the treatment of the two was also different, Luo Han was scolded to the bottom, and his image couldn't be worse. Rather, it was Donnie - his previous misdeeds were more serious, and now he seemed to be stepping back, at least not breaking the law.

This also made Daniel breathe a sigh of relief, DD headquarters was limited by financial resources before, and only opened "Love to the Collapse of the House", and invited Stephen. Martin is in charge, another horror film that David fancies, after Daniel's investment department has sufficient funds, it is about to open recently, Downey is one of the leading actors, if there is big negative news at this time, then it will have to be replaced.

Daniel is now discovering more and more that MB's early descent, the beginning of the social era, will change things that may far outweigh his impact in Hollywood.

……

"Another masterpiece."

Turan, a writer for the "Times", is an old acquaintance with Daniel, and he has given praise to basically Daniel's films, including "Legally Blonde", which is not so valued by film critics, and Turan also gave three and a half stars for "fun and contentment, full of romantic and dreamy atmosphere".

This also makes the relationship between the two very good, basically Daniel scatters the benefits, Turan can get a share.

And, interestingly, because Daniel's films never missed, this allowed Turan to gradually cultivate prestige, and many of his praises before the release were generally deliberately publicized after the success of the film, and for a film critic, his evaluation record is very important. For example, those film critics who sang praises to "Pearl Harbor" and "Hurricane Cop" now hate their black history a little.

This is also a balance, otherwise film critics will be even more unscrupulous in receiving benefits.

Turan, who has gained both fame and fortune, is naturally more enthusiastic about Daniel's films.

This time for the test screening of "Pirates", he also came early.

Daniel pulled him to find a seat.

"I think you're going to love it, it's a really interesting story, Rob. Marshall's skills are not low, and Weta's special effects have also improved a lot, and there are many scenes, which I'm sure you will be amazed. ”

Tulan's face remained unchanged, but he approached without a trace.

"What's your prediction? How much do you think it will grossing in North America and around the world? What about Oscar, is it possible? ”

"300 million or more, North America, the world must be above 600 million. After all, Disney spends a lot of money. ”

Daniel got the message straight to him, Roger. Albert's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, but Turan's popularity is increasing day by day, and he has just stepped down from his position as president of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and his more transcendent status has allowed him to fight in this group.

Moreover, he is the most followed film critic on MB.

This is due to the fact that when MB officially does graphic live broadcast activities for some movies, he likes to invite him as a guest.

These actions, of course, are part of Daniel's partnership with him, and it is certainly advantageous to have an Austrian support in the important group of film critics. Although the absolute influence of film critics is actually declining, professional evaluation is always powerful. The impact of social media, under their active embrace, will not have the ability to kill them all.

Pave the way for Turan, and Turan will naturally give his own reward. (To be continued.) )

PS: I've been really haggard these days, and the book has been blocked, so I only unraveled it today.

I lost a lot of subscriptions, and it took a lot of money to go up, which is really sad.

Thank you for the bonus, sailor's commuter pass.
