"Juno" is scheduled for December 5, but premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8.

As far as North America is concerned, Toronto is actually much more important than the big three in Europe, and in many cases, the popularity of a film in Toronto often indicates whether it will be able to get more box office in North America.

Allan. Peggy, Michael. Sierra Jason. Reitman...... A nobody.

In addition, Daniel himself has not spoken about this project, so it has not received more attention, but it involves the theme of teenage pregnancy, which is somewhat sensitive, but compared to many small productions that go off the rails, this sensitivity is nothing.

Therefore, when this work sparked discussion in Toronto, the American media was a little caught off guard.

Local newspapers such as the Vancouver Sun and the Toronto Star, as well as the Globe and Mail, the country's new major newspaper, have reported in much detail and with a more positive attitude.

"I think I'm getting caught up in that girl who is a little tricky and a little cool."

"Despite the seriousness of the subject matter, the difficulties faced by the young protagonist are also enormous. But the extraordinary work of the director and the leading actors has made the whole story not immersed in cliché anxiety. Juno uses her own coolness and strength to set the tone for the story - Alan. Peggy, yes, is the name, the image of Juno, that will make her the new celebrity in Hollywood. ”

"An unexpected, funny, and thought-provoking story of a young girl - from the screenwriter, director, to the starring role, all of them are talented. Of course, maybe add an investor, it's Daniel. Sandler. ”

"I had to attend the premiere of Juno because I missed another production. Otherwise, the boss will probably let me get out. But what I didn't expect was that this small-budget girl movie shot in Vancouver was so different, I always had a tumbling emotion in my heart, but my smile couldn't be controlled. My love for Juno is so straightforward, yes. She's just a cool girl to love.

I was just surprised at my good fortune to come across such a good movie at the premiere that I walked into. However, when I realized that the image in the opening credits of the movie belonged to DD Pictures, it dawned on me. This turned out to be Daniel. Sandler invested in the production, I must say, he contributed another masterpiece to everyone. ”

The Canadian tabloid reporter has rarely gained a lot of attention on F2F, along with the newspaper she works for. Because the encounter is indeed somewhat bizarre. Because I missed a certain movie, I had to go to see "Juno" in order to give my boss an errand, and I came across one of the most discussed films at this Toronto Film Festival.

After a commotion in the Canadian media, the American media quickly followed suit.

To be honest, from the actors to the directors, there was nothing worth reporting, and in the end they had to turn their attention to the subject - teenage pregnancy.

This is an issue that can easily be debated.

Abortion or anti-abortion. This is a big problem in the United States.

The promotional period for "Juno" also came, for this kind of controversy. DD Pictures is happy to see it happen. Although this will certainly anger some people, it will not be too much of a problem, because Juno still gave birth to the child after all, and her parents are quite reliable throughout the process, and she herself has shown that she is always strong. Whether it's seducing Brick, throwing Brick away, deciding whether to give birth or not, and finding an adoptive home for a child, etc., this is in line with the expectations of young people.

When touching on sensitive topics. Jason's choice is different from that of the sixth generation of Chinese directors. Jason is still creating a beautiful American dream - Juno Cow's righteousness, her family is 10,000 tolerant of her, she can decide everything on her own, and these things are not so taken for granted. Now the United States is in power with the Republican Party, which is known for its conservativeness, and few families will really feel so comfortable with their minor daughters.

Chinese directors, on the other hand, like to dig up the flesh and see the pus and rotten wounds, which is actually not very clever and difficult to gain recognition.

……

At the beginning of September, the news hotspot related to Daniel was by no means "Juno".

The acquisition of Marvel is!

After several rounds of contact between DD Pictures and Marvel, the two sides agreed to start discussions on this issue - from the perspective of Marvel's shareholders, being able to sell Marvel is an option, after all, there are no people among them who are obsessed with the company's profession, capital is what they are pursuing, since there are people willing to buy, especially now that Marvel is in debt.

Marvel's sales channels themselves are getting narrower and narrower, and the income is getting lower and lower, and a large number of peripheral companies are also winning and losing. And executives, including Kevin and Avi, have nothing to resist if the company will be sold to DD Pictures, and everyone can see MGM's glory today.

A number of movies such as "Black Swan", "Youth Musical" 2, "Dance Out of My Life", and "My Grand Gay Wedding" in cooperation with DD Pictures have achieved good box office results, continuing last year's good momentum.

Of course, this does not mean that the deal between the two parties will be concluded quickly.

The news came out before the start of formal negotiations, and it was almost certainly done by someone from the Marvel board, to attract more buyers and get a higher price tag, which was their natural purpose.

The reaction from all walks of life in Hollywood was very violent.

After digesting MGM, Daniel set his sights on Marvel, a comic book company with many superhero images, and it was clear that DD Pictures and Daniel were bullish on superheroes, and even if "The Incredible Hulk" lost badly, the success of "Spider-Man 3" may still be encouraging Daniel's decision.

"Let's see, Disney in the last two years, dealing with Miramax, acquiring Pixar, Robert. Iger's plan for Disney is beginning to emerge. Then let's take a look at Daniel. Sandler, DD Pictures, MGM Pictures, then DD Animation and Weta Digital, are now reaching out to Marvel, and his layout format is in no way inferior to that of the Disney Group - in fact, DD Pictures, backed by Plutos Investments, is indeed stronger than Disney. It's hard to believe when you realize it, but it's a fact, both sides have a lot of wealth outside of the film, but it's clear that DD Pictures can get more support from other areas of the consortium.

Maybe that's the future of Hollywood, and I wouldn't be surprised if Daniel were to buy CBS or NBC one day. ”

The discussion sparked by the acquisition was extensive and intense.

Disney CEO Robert Brown, who was mentioned by the media. Iger, I'm afraid the feelings in my heart are more complicated, for Marvel, Disney has just begun to study whether to take it into the bag. When it failed on The Incredible Hulk recently, it still hindered Disney's work a little. Although, Disney is more optimistic about the first batch of heroes, except for the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, but before, they also had a positive view of "The Incredible Hulk".

The facts gave them a slap in the face and forced them to be more cautious.

As a result, it was at this juncture that the "old rival" Daniel. Sandler has a shot! (To be continued.) )
