Chapter 130: The New York Times
It was released on 3,068 screens, with a three-day opening weekend of $40.33 million, landing at the top of this week's charts.
The influence of "Legally Blonde" swept the entire entertainment industry.
In the first-day "Who to see" survey, Daniel ranked first with a very high rate of nearly 65%, a percentage that also shocked studios and entertainment media.
The Los Angeles Times clamed out for Daniel as a "new box office juggernaut."
"Entertainment Weekly" headlined "A new record for fan films", trying to break "Pretty Woman" into the trap of impulse consumption.
The relatively neutral media paid more attention to the reasons for this figure, why Daniel was able to attract so many people to the cinema, whether the conclusions obtained in the interview were true, 65% is an incredible number anyway, even if the question is "for whom", this kind of Cheng dΓΉ only puts the actors and directors in it, and it is conceivable that Daniel's influence in the main creator is unparalleled. But what needs to be known is that this is not a multiple-choice question, but a subjective question, Reese only gets 10% support, Robert Luktick is not worth mentioning, Matthew Davis takes 8 percentage points, in addition, there are answers such as "theme", "trailer", "boring", "random choice", etc., which account for 20 points. A comparison shows how influential Daniel really is.
"What's Daniel Sandler's box office appeal for a long time?"
The entertainment section of the New York Times devoted a genuine page to the issue.
The newspaper's senior entertainment correspondent, Deco, gave four answers.
The first point is "the high level of exposure that has always been high", the article says that "since Daniel entered Hollywood, he has never disappeared from the newspapers for more than a month, and in just two or three years, he has achieved achievements that no one else can achieve in a lifetime." The New York Times counted the massive discussions and news stories he sparked at various stages of "School Blues," "Gladiator," "The Lord of the Rings," "Legally Blonde," "Greek Wedding," and last awards season, and concluded that "he was considered a high-profile and gifted Hollywood super-icon, which gave him credibility, and his last 'Gladiator' made him a national celebrity." β
The second point is the "king of the Internet"
The Times apparently turned Daniel upside down this time, saying that "at a time when most people don't realize the significance of the Internet, Daniel, or his team, has a vision for this, which if you put it in Silicon Valley, it must have created billionaires." But as a Hollywood actor, Daniel has done a good job, his fans are all over the Internet, making a lot of creative star chasing, such as they once called on all Daniel fans to support "Gladiator" on the Internet, this is not a simple call, they have a clear organization and schedule, and finally more than 500 people participated in the event. And when "Pretty Woman" is released, the number is expected to exceed 2,000 people in 16 cities across the United States, not to mention those who go to see it alone and invite friends and family to see it. In addition, they have a new idea, that is, to give away the opportunity to watch movies, if you can afford more movie tickets, then assuming you want, you can buy it, and then give the opportunity to watch it to Daniel fans who are not so good, and even other people who are not determined to go to the movies, as well as some disabled people in welfare homes, if it is not for the PG-13 movie grade is not suitable for children to see, they will definitely include the orphanage. Even so, the giveaway, called Meet the Girls, has been praised by many NGOs, including giants like the Rights Equity Coalition, which they see as a form of caring, sharing and kindness.
The actions of these adorable fans greatly contribute to the proliferation of the source of information, and it is very positive. On top of that, if you're a web-be-savvy, you'll know how shocking Daniel is on the popular 'MicroBlog', a new social networking site developed by blogger companies a few months ago based on the blogger public forum, and he has inherited his position as the king of bloggers with over a million followers. Million? Isn't it a particularly big number? California Governor Joseph, who had his account two months ago, has 80,000 followers. It sounds like Daniel could run for governor, and his opponent might be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the Terminator intends to be governor and then end the future of California. β
The third point is "Daniel's face and body"
The Times cited Daniel's face and body as the attention he received, most notably the initial fitness process and the recent Elf Prince craze, which made Daniel a national icon for the first time, and thus embarked on a smooth movie journey. This time, it has accumulated a strong thirst for the dark horse posture of "Pretty Woman". The Times asserts that Daniel will move forward five places this year to become the sexiest man in the world, and perhaps the world's most willing to spend the night together, the world's most willing to be your boyfriend, the most desirable person to marry, and so on.
Finally, the New York Times sticks to its positive tradition, calling it "unparalleled acting talent and intelligence," and this section focuses on Daniel's performance results, the ravages of the awards season, and the comments of many collaborators. In addition to this, during the period when Kusa Damon was away, Daniel used his wits to maintain a fierce upward momentum, showing this brilliant Hollywood star - which is very valuable. Too often, the intelligent American people are bewildered by the minds of a group of brainless people. The Times analyzed Daniel's development process, from small to large, from supporting roles to protagonists, Daniel can always be the most eye-catching one. Sharing, investment, film production companies, commercial films, literary films, the choice of endorsements, and the choice of fashion magazines are all exquisitely designed.
"If Hollywood stars are commercial products, then there is no doubt that Daniel is definitely one of them with unique design, rich content, impeccable appearance, great practicality, and a sparkle of wisdom."
The New York Times summed up the entire story in this way, and the reflection of four photos of Daniel at different moments is thought-provoking.

Daniel, who was far away in Bora Bora, Polynesia, read the report and was satisfied with the dollars he had paid. Then I made a phone call to Kusa.
"Let's go ahead with the plan."
Then regardless of the team working overtime in Los Angeles, enjoy the white sands and tranquil waters of the St. Regis Hotel.
