Don't underestimate the "radar" performance of the Weinstein brothers, people like Harvey Weinstein, on the one hand, are the heads of independent production companies, on the other hand, they have a huge network of contacts, they are always the most sensitive to the ups and downs of various forces in Hollywood, Daniel's rapid rise is definitely not a small matter - there are so many stars in Hollywood, there are already a very small number of people who can come out, and even fewer can enter the ranks of mainstream stars, and there are actually only a few people who have received top attention and potential evaluation in a certain period of time.

Relatively speaking, Daniel's value is not inferior to that of the Oscar winner a few years ago - if the actor has not moved in the past two years. At Daniel's level, such as Russell Crowe, he has not yet won an Oscar, but the limelight is definitely better than most Oscars, and the commercial value is the same - some distance from the 20 million club, but not too far.

Therefore, working with Daniel, the two sides are not as disparity in power as they seem.

Kusa and Xavi obviously can't talk for a long time here, both have a lot to do.

Speaking of halfway through, Daniel also found an opportunity to come in.

After a short stay of ten minutes, Daniel came here just to show his sincerity, and the specific thing must be to ask Kusa to discuss with Xavi on his behalf, and his goal of staying here is a bit big - this is the difference between stars and behind-the-scenes, even if Xavi's status in the circle is much higher than him, but the attention is less than a fraction of him.

The four of them chatted in the room for almost half an hour, in fact, before this, they had talked a lot by email and phone, but there were some things that still needed to be discussed in person, so they met today.

In general, the cooperation was reached.

Harvey didn't offer an outrageous price, and the price tag of $150,000 was a bargain relative to his services — even though it was just an Oscar, and it was less than two months away. Of course, Daniel also agreed that if there is a suitable opportunity, he will give priority to working with Miramax.

When he won Harvey and Daniel participated in the Golden Globes, he was not so nervous, at least he could hypnotize himself first - and the Oscars.

On the evening of January 21, 2001, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, was lit up with more than 100 global media outlets.

The red carpet of the 58th American Television and Movie Golden Globe Awards is about to begin here.

……

"Who do you think will win this year?"

"So many forecasting agencies in the U.S. are helpless, let me guess? Can I guess? ”

On both sides of the red carpet, there are people discussing, this is not surprising, the biggest mystery tonight is, of course, the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards.

However, the two spoke standard Mandarin from Beijing.

Two entertainment journalists from China.

"Do you think Russell Crowe and Daniel Sandler can win the prize?"

"I think it's quite possible that Daniel is a bit of a difficult one for Russell Crowe."

"I don't know if I can make an appointment with them." These two reporters from NEW, China's largest online portal, spoke to He Yu, the website's chief entertainment reporter, "Russell Crowe didn't gain much before, but Daniel won a lot of awards." ”

This time, the domestic team is not small, the main reason is of course "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and a large number of Chinese stars, especially An Li and Vivian Zhang, in addition, "Gladiator", which was released in China and received a warm response, is also the focus of NEW waves, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of course arranges interviews with domestic media, but "Gladiator" does not have this arrangement, NEW waves invited several Chinese people in Los Angeles this time, I hope to be able to contact Russell Crowe and Daniel Sandler for an interview, but the results are not yet known, and the hope is very slim.

Before the Golden Globe Awards, Daniel Sandler did gain a lot, and the weighty New York Film Critics Association Award and Screen Actors Guild Award made him the hottest candidate for Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor. Beni has the lowest claim rate of 1:1.2, but Daniel is even behind Willem Dafoe in "The Phantom of the Vampire," with William at 1:2 and Daniel at 1:2.3.

This situation is not particularly puzzling, gambling companies have their own channels to arrange odds, Daniel is very popular, but the news revealed by the Hollywood Reporter Guild and the extraneous meaning of a few judges all reveal a preference for Beniso and Willem Dafoe, but Daniel, who is rarely mentioned.

"If he hadn't won the award, the interview would have been lost." He Yu looked at his watch, his watch had been adjusted to Los Angeles time, the hour hand was already pointing to 7, and the red carpet was about to start.

The accompanying photographers began to adjust their cameras and prepare for their work, their task was not large, and most of the Hollywood stars who arrived today were not well-known in China.

As the red carpet began, flashing lights and fan screams began to go wild.

Michael Douglas and Katherine Zeta-Jones were the first stars they paid attention to, shooting a lot from various angles, and the broken English kept shouting, "Michael, this way, Catherine, look this way, look this way." ”

Catherine, who walked the red carpet hand in hand with her elderly husband Douglas in a lake blue dress, both have nominations today, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, but they are also escorts, especially Catherine, who is almost the only one she has been nominated for the awards season - God knows what the Golden Globes mean.

With this couple, the flowing Hollywood stars began to step on the red carpet.

Sandra Bullock, who was nominated for Best Actress, George Clooney, George Clooney, and Ann Lee and Vivian walked the red carpet hand in hand, no less powerful than A-list stars, and the success of this Chinese-language blockbuster has made the media flock to it and pay attention to it.

The crew of "Gladiator" did not walk the red carpet together, which is not the same as the international film festival, Russell Crowe walked on the red carpet alone, Daniel Sandler too, but Connie Nelson and Ridley Scott acted together.

When Daniel walked on the red carpet, he was wearing Burberry's current season dress, and the gorgeous black diamond with the neckline looked shining under the flash and high-power lights.

Daniel smiled appropriately and shifted direction to ensure that the media on both sides could be photographed, and the footsteps stayed for a shorter time and walked faster, so the shouting of the reporters was particularly noticeable.

"Huh?" Daniel seemed to hear someone shouting "Daniel" in Chinese, and when he turned around, sure enough, it was two Chinese reporters, and he smiled and shook his hand at He Yu, and it felt good to see yellow faces on such an occasion.

The photographer shoots frantically in bursts, and this unique angle is unprecedented.

Daniel, who walked into the award ceremony, heard a wave of sound behind him - Tom Hanks had arrived.

"Hey, Ridley, is the filming still smooth?"

"Black Hawk Down" has already started filming, Jerry Bruckheimer expressed surprise that Daniel "does what he says", and Ridley of course understands Daniel's decision, and Daniel also called him personally to explain his position.

"Very good, what about you?"

"It's okay too."
