"If it weren't for the pressure, I estimate that they would be able to prepare everything in a week, and then the movie would be made in more than half a month." Ferguson sat down and took a sip of water, he had grown a lot on his face lately, so he couldn't drink anything but plain water.

Daniel once told Ferguson that he could not interfere with the creation of James and Werner, but could only provide them with convenience and solve some hard mistakes.

That's why Ferguson came to pour bitter water today.

Even under his side knocks, it only took more than a week for the two to pick out the actors, none of them are familiar faces, and since the start of filming, it has been almost more than half of the filming.

"How's it going?"

Ferguson paused for a moment and nodded unwillingly, "At present, James's skills are still a little lacking, but Werner's talent is amazing, and many descriptions in the script do not reflect the ingenuity of the plot. Seriously, I think Werner is worth the investment. ”

Daniel nodded, signaling that he understood.

The first installment of "Saw" was written by James. directed by Wen, but at the beginning of the second part, it was handed over to others. He stepped back into the background to continue working on the project, and it has to be said that James must have experienced some feelings of loss from the other roles of the director who took charge of the project, but this is obviously a very smart young man, and being able to continue to participate is the most important thing.

"I'll leave this project to you." There is nothing wrong with Daniel's decision, now this is only a 4 million super small project, and it is solemn enough to hand it over to Ferguson, which is also related to the lack of producers at DD Pictures, but at the moment, they are not very needed.

Ferguson nodded in understanding.

He came over today, in addition to "Chainsaw", the main thing is "Da Vinci. Password".

After his perseverance, Dan. Brown said he could use an international book fair in Los Angeles to meet Daniel.

"It's fantastic. Approximate time. ”

"A week later. However, he also made it clear. Let's not hope too much, because Columbia has been looking for him very often lately. ”

……

"You and Dan. Brown's meeting has already been scheduled, and he will be staying at the Four Seasons Hotel at 10 o'clock that day. He'll be waiting for you at the hotel, and then you'll have lunch, which ends at 3:30 p.m. at the latest, and he'll be hosting People reporters, and you'll need to sign a formal contract with Fox for Night at the Museum. ”

"Javier couldn't draw any concrete conclusions. But the people involved have previously taken over Disney and Paramount. ”

The controversy between the elven faction and the captain faction intensified.

"Yes, it should be Robert. Egger's handwriting. Daniel affirmed, "The box office success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" still can't satisfy his appetite, and he should hope to beat "Return of the King" in one fell swoop and become the box office champion of the year, so that his voice on the Disney board of directors will be greatly improved." ”

Sally is still puzzled by this, if only so. Disney still doesn't need to hide from Daniel, and this hype is also two-way, "Pirates" has improved, and "The Return of the King" has also achieved its own publicity effect, which may be the reason why the new line has not intervened so far.

"It's very simple, "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" already have Legolas, and many people don't need to watch "Return of the King" anymore, while "Pirates of the Caribbean" is completely different, and a large part of "The Lord of the Rings" audience has not had time to watch this movie. Now with such publicity, those who have developed curiosity. I will definitely go to the cinema to see what it is, and judge it for myself by the way. In this way, the promotion effect of this turmoil on "Pirates" is actually much greater than that of "Return of the King". Now what Robert wants is the gap. As for the former, you can tell. Their actions don't stop there. ”

Daniel frowned and thought about it, he couldn't know what other tricks Disney had, but that didn't prevent him from knowing that those tricks might hurt his image.

"Tell Triver to pass on what we mean if Disney goes too far. It's not like we're running out of things to do. ”

This is not an empty threat, and Daniel certainly has a lot of counterbalances.

semi-openly declared that DD Pictures had indeed withdrawn from the investment, and speculated on Disney's current internal relations, Miramax and Pixar are in conflict with the main department...... can affect the box office of "Pirates". Taking it a step further, contacting MB and Shanying to suppress the reputation of "Pirates" is even more impactful - although it is a bit of a shooting yourself in the foot. But the important thing is that the stone fell down, and Disney hurt more than him.

Disney, of course, was quick to receive a roundabout and tactful warning.

Now Daniel has no evidence, but he doesn't need evidence either, he just needs to hint at the past, and if the other party still goes his own way, then he will have to break his wrists.

The news was passed all the way to Robert. Egger's desk.

When it comes to Daniel, it's basically up to the top - a superstar is worth enough hours for any Big Seven CEO to spend hours working on it.

Robert wanted to talk to Daniel on the phone, but Daniel didn't choose to call him, but expressed his meaning through the following channels, and it seemed that he didn't want to be too-for-tat, so that his call might not be appropriate.

Moreover, he really can't be completely honest with Daniel about the whole plan.

Because "The Return of the King" has not yet been released, he has to do everything in his power to create obstacles for him.

Sitting in his office, Robert pondered whether to change tactics or ignore Daniel's warnings.

Thinking that "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" is coming to an end, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" is just beginning, as well as Daniel's investment rights and remuneration in the sequel to "Pirates", Robert has a decision.

……

"Jack. Sparrow? Legolas? The battle for Daniel's best role spills over into racism. ”

One of the biggest controversies in "The Lord of the Rings" is the position of the author Tolkien, the first is the theory of blood, it can be seen that whether it is Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, or even the three hobbits, they are all famous, royalty, Maia, and princes...... And so on, which seems to declare that only those of noble blood can save the world. The second point is racial discrimination, which is recognized by a considerable number of people, because it is very obvious that in the demon world, all orcs and devils are black-skinned, and none of them on the righteous side have this skin color.

So in the past three years, every time "The Lord of the Rings" was released, there were always black people organizing protests and demonstrations, but these small-scale actions did not prevent "The Lord of the Rings" from succeeding.

This time, Disney has clearly settled on this taboo topic.

They first fueled the controversy, letting the Elven and Captain factions debate drive the conversation, and then directing everyone's attention to racial issues.

After the release of Pirates of the Caribbean, there was a lot of talk about Daniel's most popular film character in the past, and some people thought that the role of Legolas, the elven prince in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which gave Daniel a global reach, deserved the title. Others insist that the charismatic Captain Jack is by far Daniel's most popular character. The heated discussion between the two sides is clear proof that both characters have a formidable fan base. For Daniel, it would have been an accolade, at least not for now, of any other Hollywood actor that has sparked a discussion on a similar scale.

However, Daniel may not be happy now. In his hometown, Brooklyn, New York, a few days ago, two gangs, after a scolding war on the Internet, brought the contradiction to reality, one side is dominated by black people, they are outnumbered, and the white girl who supports Legolas on the other side is severely beaten, which even alarmed the local security department, and nearly 60 armed police officers arrested more than 30 people on both sides. Even after his arrest, the two sides continued to argue endlessly about whether Captain Jack or Legolas was better. It's just that in their mouths, Captain Jack is a 'sloppy pirate' and a 'psychopath', while Legolas is a 'white ghost' and a 'vase'.

The incident has sparked concern among parents who believe that Daniel's terror among teenagers will be responsible for the recurrence of similar incidents. They even called on Daniel not to appear in the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" - Disney has previously announced that it will shoot a sequel and not appear on the big screen as the elf prince again - such as reducing or even deleting Daniel's role in "Return of the King" later this year.

This poses a big problem for Daniel, the producers of "The Return of the King" and Disney Studios. You must know that Daniel, who has become one of the actors with the highest value, the highest commercial value and the highest box office appeal in Hollywood. Sandler, at the moment, is the most wanted actor of all filmmakers.

The parents' appeal is unlikely to come true, and the biggest opponents may be their children, the young men who are madly chasing the elven prince or Captain Jack. But they had another request that should be met, and that was Daniel. Sandler should not remain silent, he needs to stand up and give clear, not vague, unhelpful conclusions in order to stop the trend of intensifying contradictions.

Daniel has been trying to establish his voice in social and international affairs, and has been quite successful. Now, then, he may need to face a more pressing reality: Is he in love with Captain Jack, or Legolas? (To be continued.) )
