The phone, which was placed on the table, began to vibrate. ∈♀，

I just talked to Kusa about the recent series of confrontations with Disney, and at present, Natalie's god assist and "accidental" investment behavior have surprised many Hollywood partners.

Fox's McNicoe even used "Avatar" to talk to Daniel, saying that Fox is considering introducing part of the investment to share the $250 million investment in this project, and if Daniel can star, Fox will seriously consider his intentions.

It was a bonus.

However, so far, although Disney has come through the wind, Robert. Egger never called Daniel. So it was necessary for Daniel to discuss with Cusa whether the call needed to wait for the local call, or whether they could take the initiative to call.

According to Daniel's own meaning, the current situation is already their advantage, and the containment alliance led by Disney is self-defeating. Saya has tried to start discussing the cooperation with him about "The Hobbit", but Daniel knows that the project is not going smoothly and will drag on for several years, so he relented and talked to him, anyway, the project will not start at that time, and the new line will be the dishonest party, not to mention Universal, the previous concession has made their opinion very clear.

Now Daniel has to think about Disney, whether to wait for them to release an obvious signal, or take the initiative to hand over the steps, with Iger's status in Hollywood, Daniel is not ashamed to be soft on face, mainly on the inside, everyone knows that he has not suffered a loss.

Of course, Daniel has to take a step back on the surface, at least to confirm that Disney intends to give up.

The current buzz has been replaced by rumors that Daniel is going to enter the business world, and there is still a force behind it that is trying to revive the previous story.

This is broadly stated. It can also be regarded as proof of Disney's resignation.

But it's not always so straightforward.

So Kusa thinks it's better to wait, at least there is a clear attitude from there, and Daniel's side will deal with it.

Otherwise, this rejuvenating group will be a bit anticlimactic.

As for the inequality of status between the two sides, Cusa's original words also sound reasonable.

"It's not a problem, Hollywood is the kind of place, the interests are the most important, if you tell Robert, let him apologize to a beggar, but it can make Disney a hundred million dollars. He certainly won't hesitate. We didn't ask him to do anything to lose face, just to show his mouth and let everyone know clearly that this matter is over. ”

Daniel was still wondering if it was as Kusa had said, and kept waiting.

That's when the call came.

Robert. Egger.

He glanced at Kusa, "Peace or war, it's on this call." ”

As soon as Robert spoke, he was warm and close, and Daniel immediately knew his attitude.

"The Legend of the Bear premiere? Of course, I'll find the time to go. Good. We'll talk about it then. ”

Pinching his phone, Daniel thought for a moment before putting it down meaningfully, "He invited me to the premiere of "The Legend of the Bear." ”

The Legend of the Bear is a Disney animated film. This year, Disney can be said to be in the limelight. So far, the only two films this year that have broken 300 million are Disney's, "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Especially the latter. As Disney's first PG-13 movie, it can be said that it is a good start for Disney to enter new territory.

For Robert, this may be one of the reasons why he didn't have to fight Daniel. The situation is just right, so why take the risk.

Daniel accepted the invitation, which of course meant to announce his resignation.

As Daniel expected, two days later, Disney responded, saying that it and Daniel would begin negotiations for a sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean". Right away, Orlando. Bloom and Kayla. In an interview, Knightley said that he is very willing to continue to join the sequel, and he believes that the preparations for the sequel will go very smoothly.

To be honest, this turmoil has brought a lot of people, and the most personal of them may be these two, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a box office hit, Kayla. Knightley can be regarded as borrowing the east wind, from unknown origin, he has also become a part of the new power of Hollywood, and now he also has a place in various charm lists. But Orlando. Bloom is a lot inferior, Will. The character of Turner really doesn't have any memorable performances, especially when it comes to such a vivid image of Captain Jack.

But even so, for them, the sequel to "Pirates" is extremely important, not to mention the financial benefits, it is also significant for them to maintain their exposure.

With exposure, you can meet more people and have better opportunities.

There is no one who does not understand this truth.

Therefore, when the sequel to "Pirates" was stormy before, the two of them were also terrified, and once Disney let go of the wind and didn't need other people's guidance, they immediately understood what to do.

Several parties jointly spoke, and it is very credible that the second part of "Pirates" will enter the state of preparation immediately.

Daniel was meant to respond, but Simon. Williams came to the door and made him change his mind on the spur of the moment.

"I've had people talk to people on the Kenyan side and they've said that if you can get involved, they can consider having the film shot in Kenya, and they want you to talk to them about it directly."

Simon doesn't have any big friendships with the Kenyan government, but he has some connections in the UK, and the themes expressed in the script are quite in line with public opinion. Sandler had just made a splash in Kenya, and since his visit to the Dadaab refugee camp, he had included an article of his own in the report of the United Nations visit.

The article calls on UNHCR to pay attention to the serious overload in the Dadaab refugee camp, which was originally able to accommodate 90,000 people, but now has reached the size of more than 100,000 people, which means that all aspects of preparedness, including infrastructure, health and security, will face challenges. In his report, Daniel reminded UNHCR that this trend is intensifying and that if the situation in Somalia deteriorates, the camp's capacity will be challenged to be terrifying. In addition, he reminded that the large number of Somalis living in Kenya must be vigilant against the presence of armed forces, and that UNHCR should deepen cooperation with the relevant Kenyan authorities. Control the worst events that can occur.

The report was also published in Kenya's official newspaper, and because much of the content in it responded to Kenyan official concerns, he now unexpectedly has a bit of face in Kenya.

In addition to this film, in a sense, it can be regarded as the concern of their president, Mr. Kibaki, and many factors are mixed together, and it is understandable that the Kenyan side is willing to make concessions.

After all, even if they don't agree, there is no problem shooting in South Africa or other African countries. The impact will not be better, it will only be worse.

Since Simon decided to hand over the film to DD Pictures, Daniel connected with the other government through his connections.

After close consultations, the progress was still very rapid, and it was finally decided that the film would be co-produced with the Kenyan anti-corruption department, and the other party was of course just a name, but about the crew's work in Kenya. But it provides great convenience.

At the end of September, the agreement was finally signed for the project.

Daniel flew to Nairobi again and held a press conference announcing that he would join forces with the British mission to the Kenyan government. Cast this film called "The Immortal Gardener".

One of the most popular pieces of information is that Daniel will star in person, and it is clear that the film will start shooting in June 2005.

This is the first time Daniel has confirmed. He will return to Hollywood to film after 2004, according to the announced time, it should be after he completes his first year of study. It is still unknown whether he will return to Hollywood and will only use his summer vacation to work. But the speculation that Daniel, who had been hyped up by various media outlets, might turn to the business world was naturally self-defeating.

Immediately after returning from Kenya, Daniel attended the premiere of The Legend of the Bear.

He met an acquaintance, Jackie. Phoenix!

As one of the main voice voices for the film, it was also a good job opportunity for Jacques.

When Philip brought him over to talk to Daniel, Daniel barely remembered.

It may be that his career is not going well, Jack is no longer as high-spirited as he was in the previous two years, Philip is still face-saving, but in front of Daniel, he can't say anything now, Matt. Damon and Affleck's development is not bad, but compared to Daniel, it is just good.

In Hollywood, opportunities are not easy to obtain, but it is not so difficult to destroy the opportunities of others.

Philip would bring someone over and say a few words, and the meaning was obvious, of course.

Daniel also had no intention of "hunting them down", and casually said a few words. Iger had him invited to the lounge.

For Daniel, being here today is a statement of his official reconciliation with Disney, but the most important thing, of course, is to have a face-to-face conversation with Robert.

Walking in, Robert smiled as if nothing had happened.

"How's it going to be in Kenya?"

"Come and go in a hurry, and wait until next year, and if I have time, I'm going to go with Collins to the prairie animals over there. Are you going with Coulny? ”

Robert laughed and shook his head, "The lion is here, we can't outrun it, it's still in the zoo." ”

After a few greetings, I got to the point.

Of course, it won't be to say everything in the truth, it's true and false, and the two of them should deal with the meaning in place.

Daniel's side, of course, is saying, no matter what position I go to, what price I quote, if you think you are willing to do it, we will cooperate, if you feel that you are not willing to do it, then I will find someone else or do it myself, and you don't try your best to press me.

Since Robert was going to stop, even if he didn't think so in his heart, he would have coped with it.

"I have something else to talk to you about today, what do you think of Miramax?"

Robert suddenly started talking. (To be continued......)
