"Do you remember the short film I was acting in? The one from the University of Southern California. ”

"Is it a love affair with your ex-girlfriend? It's called ...... "Silent Love", right? I remember you beat Brad Pitt and Matt Damon, and even Julia Roberts lost to you, counting the women. ”

Daniel stretched his legs, "yes, it was my moment of glory. But that's not what I'm going to say—"

"What, are you going to recommend that little director to me?"

Before Daniel could finish speaking, David asked with a shocked face, he couldn't agree, the director named Jossen may be quite talented, but it is too unreliable, it seems that he has just graduated, which is too risky for DD Pictures.

"No, no," Daniel shook his head, he knew that Joson Zhu would be a director of "Special Forces" in the future, but he didn't have that amazing talent, and now Jossen was not capable enough to direct a film, "I'm talking about our cinematographer Sharon Adams, who is a talented person, really, I think his shots are absolutely fascinating." However, the reviews are not very good, he once scolded the director, so there are not too many directors who are willing to cooperate with him. ”

Of course David had seen the short film called "Silent Love," and the footage was beautiful, but that could be attributed to the director or to the cinematographer, depending on who was in charge, and if it was done under the director's direction, it was of course the director's credit – and for the most part.

"From this point of view, Director Qiao Sen really has nothing to praise about it."

“……”

Looking at Daniel's expression of difficulty in excretion, David laughed happily, "Okay, give me a contact information, and I'll look for him." Don't you read the other scripts? ”

"Look, you're going to make that horror movie, aren't you?"

David handed over a couple of scripts, "Well, basically, if there's no better option. ”

Daniel nodded his chin in understanding, and rolled it up intently.

This time it took a bit longer, and after reading all four scripts, he handed over one.

"That's not bad."

"Comedy, oh yes, this one isn't bad either. Do you think this is better? ”

The tentative name of this script is "Love to the Collapse of the House", which is quite a funny name, and tells the story of Peter, a middle-class lawyer who is at ease with his encounters, with limited income and a dull life, but an extremely excellent woman on the Internet, who appeared in the void of his divorce, thought that he was in love with this person, and decided to meet with netizens to develop a deeper relationship. Unfortunately, as expected, Salene is very different from what she came out of the Internet table, rude, and a fugitive - hoping that Peter will help her clear her name. The two rivals began to laugh and play in life until they fell in love until the house collapsed.

"I didn't watch the plot of a horror movie just now, but at the moment this one is really good, although it is an old-fashioned drama in a romantic comedy, but he has a fresh gimmick - online dating, I think you can talk to -- uh, it's Jason, Mr. Jason Frilatti's script, you can talk to him, change the name, it's called "Be careful, Internet Girlfriend" or something, it will bring freshness to everyone, and it also has a high fit with the kind of publicity that we are good at. And although horror movies have a fixed audience and have better revenue on DVDs, comedies are still more popular at the box office. You can think again. ”

David frowned, "It would be nice if I could shoot both, it's actually more suitable for the smooth operation of the company to open two films, but the funds are not enough." What do you think of the investment in this later film? ”

"There's no need to find someone particularly well-known, you have to be a familiar face, your acting skills must be good enough, don't let it go, it's not small, it will ruin the movie. You look to the CAA, the other agencies, and the Screen Actors Guild. If the salary is not much, the total investment will be easy to control, and I estimate that 25 million should be controllable. Ask someone from the match site to be a consultant who has experience and can talk about implantation and embed their site into the movie. ”

Match is the first online dating site in the United States, almost eight years old, and now the development is very good, but as a paid site, while the service is more high-quality, the number of users has not been able to make a big jump - this is not related to the formation of American online payment habits enough, but in the past two years this habit has changed significantly, and the development prospects of MATCH are also very optimistic about investors.

The other scripts didn't look particularly good, and Daniel didn't say anything more.

……

After the second full week passed, "Spy Shadow" can exceed 100 million box office and become the hottest film on the schedule, and "Spider-Man" does not seem to affect Jason Bourne's universal love for market exploitation. This superhero film is a big hit, but people who love this genre are not in the majority, many people have herd behavior, and after all, this is one of the most successful superhero films in years, and it is in the spotlight. And "Spy Shadow" has exceeded 100 million sales in two weeks, IMDB has been above 8.5 points so far, and Rotten Tomatoes has a better freshness of 87%, these numbers have basically determined that this new agent role will undoubtedly become a classic.

Universal also announced that it would launch the second installment of the series in 2004 on the day it broke 100 million, and Daniel has already confirmed his starring role - after this announcement, "Spy 2" has quickly become one of the most anticipated films of the future.

Indeed, as they say, Kusa has already made a plan with Universal Pictures - Daniel will be scheduled to appear in the sequel to the series in 2003. It is worth mentioning that Doug Liman refused to continue to work on the sequel because he did not want to spend his creativity and inspiration on the sequel, but at the invitation of Universal, he will be the producer of the film to ensure that the sequel does not deviate from those beloved characteristics.

It is said that Universal's new director is Paul Greengrass, winner of the Golden Bear at the New Coberlin International Film Festival, a former journalist and controversial writer who made his mark in Europe with his realistic style, and "Bloody Sunday" won numerous awards across Europe. Universal's decision is not risky, but the second part of the series can often reap surprising box office results under the high reputation of the first part, and choosing a cutting-edge director who can make the series continue to violate is obviously a long-term strategy under the premise of guarantee.

DD Pictures' investment in Jian yì was rejected, which is also very understandable, a film that is destined to make money, even if Universal and Daniel work happily, it is impossible to give it up, although Universal has a lot of financial pressure, but such a project will not be shared with others anyway.

But perhaps as compensation, Universal's lack of a problem with Kusa's other conditions is not too much.

Including a basic salary of 20 million!

Yes, from this moment on, Daniel has stepped into the 20 million club with one foot, and if he is a little thick-skinned, he might as well say that Daniel Sandler has become a real member of the 20 million club, the top Hollywood group.
