After Daniel joined, the attitude of the new line has changed considerably. This is predictable, Peter has gained a lot of fans with "The Fellowship of the Ring", but these people who will notice the director are actually a very small part, although the loyalty is still very high, and compared to the income from withholding funds, New Line obviously thinks that the latter is a little more cost-effective.

But Daniel is different, he is the most influential actor in the whole "Fellowship of the Ring", if the director and him attack together, it may not be able to make "The Two Towers" hit the streets, but it will definitely affect the final box office, 10 million? Even 50 million, no one can say for sure, and at this time the new line needs to take risks. The new line of pictures that belongs to Time Warner actually has a high degree of independence, which is decided by its founder Robert Saya, but this is based on the fact that the new line is running well, and if something goes wrong this time, then Sayah will give Warner a ready-made opportunity to intervene in the business of the new line - not necessarily to kick Saya, but it is very likely to bring in forces that can counterbalance him.

So new solutions naturally emerged.

30% will be settled immediately, 30% will be settled at the end of June, and all will be settled before the next release date.

Peter can accept this condition, and with the success of Weta, his power will also increase, and Peter believes that after the release of "The Two Towers", it will not be so easy for the new line to take on Weta Digital.

With such a play, Daniel joined Weta even more justifiably.

……

At last month's Oscars, Daniel attended, but did not serve as a guest of honor.

He was part of the sprawling Fellowship of the Ring, and because Legally Blonde was playing at its normal level this time - there was not a single award nomination, so he had to attend the ceremony as Legolas instead of Emmett. Daniel suspects that all of MGM's PR funds are used to run the Golden Globe nominations, so that the Oscars have hung up zero eggs, which is somewhat ugly, not only MGM and Legally Blonde are ugly, but the Golden Globes are also very ugly. Daniel is a little better than Reese Witherspoon because he was not nominated for the Golden Globe and did not even participate.

However, MGM is definitely not nothing, in a sense, they are more willing to choose this result than "Pretty Woman" to win an award, because Denzel Washington won the Oscar, and now "Hotel Rwanda" is already a first-class movie from the cast, the actor is the actor, and the supporting actor is the winner of the supporting actor. Of course, MGM is not happy, and Helen Dele is also grateful for Daniel's mention at the beginning, although an actor of Denzel's level is not so "nouveau riche", and after winning the Oscar, his value will not rise much, because it is not low in the first place. But his options will be much wider, and whether Denzel will take the film at that time is quite unlikely.

Judging from the results of "The Fellowship of the Ring", although it was shortlisted for a long list, it only won a bunch of technical awards in the end, of course, there was a best cinematography that was very unexpected, the best time, the best makeup, and it was well deserved. But the academy was able to give "The Fellowship of the Ring" the best cinematography, which still gave Peter a surprise, and as for his own nomination for best director, he didn't dare to think - a special effects blockbuster, and it was the first film.

"A Beautiful Mind" was the biggest winner of the whole show, and the six awards were unbeatable. Russell Crowe expected Nicole Kidman to lose to the first black actress Harry Berry, which was also the hottest Oscar topic.

Daniel, who sat in the audience, was in a calm mood towards some people, after all, it had nothing to do with him.

It's just that when I sit down with Peter Jackson again, I still have to review the achievements of "The Fellowship of the Ring".

Of course, the most important thing today is not this, but Pirates of the Caribbean.

Daniel and Robert decided to hand over the post-production special effects of Pirates of the Caribbean to Weta Digital, which is nowhere near as much work as Fellowship of the Ring, but if Pirates succeeds as expected, then for Weta Digital, it will be quite powerful, as long as it is properly operated, who says it can't be the next Industrial Light & Magic.

Industrial Light & Magic, which began with Star Wars, is one of the most prestigious companies in its category, and Weta Digital may not have a chance to surpass it if it seizes the opportunity.

After completing "The Fellowship of the Ring", Weta Digital laid off a group of employees, because it was impossible to maintain a regular team of hundreds of people, which is also an industry practice, but if "Pirates" was taken over, then the benefits of maintaining the scale and competitiveness of Weta Digital are self-evident.

It wasn't that hard to convince Disney to choose Weta either, it was a common project after all, Daniel had a special effects department on his hands, and he had just produced the famous Lord of the Rings, which was a suitable choice anyway.

"Richard was right." Peter gestured to Daniel with his coffee cup.

"You're finally telling the truth, so it's not your intention to ask me to invest."

"Without me, how could Richard have thought of looking for you?"

The two fought with each other for a few words, and the relationship between the collaborators became closer.

Prompting the collaboration between Weta and Disney, Daniel's recent busyness has finally paid off.

"Is 'Spy Shadow'?"

The film released in June, some people have already seen the earliest version, and the evaluation is quite high. So now Daniel's team is in a good mood, and it's another movie that has been added to the "Daniel Collection".

Melissa nodded.

"Yes, there's a premiere of 'Spy' in New York, and then you're going to Paris and London, and then Tokyo, and it's going to be a six-month job."

Released in the United States in June, France in early September, the United Kingdom at the end of September, and Japan in January of the following year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is half a year's work, but "Spy Shadow" is definitely one of the most important works for Daniel. This is the first film released so far in which Daniel plays the absolute protagonist, and everyone's last doubt about this wonder boy is in this film - whether he can take on a mainstream production on his own.

If "Spy" fails, then his chance will have to wait until "Pirates of the Caribbean", and even if "My Grand Greek Wedding" might be successful, it won't prove Daniel to the fullest.

This is basically a film where Xu wins and does not allow defeat.

Fortunately, the quality of "Spy Shadow" seems to be guaranteed at present, and the subject matter is quite safe - especially in the DVD field, so the pressure to lose money is very small, it depends on whether it can make a lot of money, and breaking 100 million is enough to prove Daniel's box office appeal.

"I have a headache, I feel like I'm running out of energy from my vacation, and I'm going to have to go on another vacation."

This is the advice Collins gave to Daniel.

The Porsche family had a resort in Northern Ireland with a 15th-century castle that Collins wanted to go with Daniel to rest for a while.

Daniel and Melissa learned a little about their work, "Spy" was released in June, "My Grand Greek Wedding" was in October, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was going to start filming in October, "The Lord of the Rings 2" in December, and "Hotel Rwanda" was next March. In addition, there is also "The Pianist", after filming, Polanski communicates with him about guò promotion, he will go to the Cannes Film Festival in May, walk the red carpet, and then, if necessary, attend the closing ceremony. In June, Daniel didn't have to attend, and in September it was released in Poland and France, Polanski hoped that he could find time to attend at least one, and go to the local TV media or something, which was actually no problem, he needed to promote "Spy" in September, and the time was about the same.

At such a cursory glance, he simply didn't have time to go on vacation, not to mention that he still had four jobs to deal with: Raymond, Fred, David, and Weta Digital. Even if Kusa can help him a part now, it will be difficult to adjust.

But rest and vacation always make people really feel like a sponge about time.

"After the release of 'Spy', I'm going to Dublin for a few days, you can also take a vacation, if you want to go together, except for the venerable Kusa, and then I'll be back by mid-July to join the promotion of 'Greek Wedding', I'll take my computer with me, and I can continue to deal with Raymond's side."

The three of them thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but they also had to sigh that in the following year, Daniel's busy journey dù.

……

"My God."

Daniel looked at the new issue of Newsweek in front of him, and the trouble finally continued to come to his door.

The Newsweek report was written by the paper's senior correspondent, Shaborn Channing, a former employee of the Los Angeles Times and a colleague of Jones. Now working for Newsweek's social department, he also has a unique identity - the son of Mrs. Channing, Daniel's cook.

"On the morning of 911, Daniel told his assistant and cook, my mother, that he was feeling bad, and that his dreams were full of explosions and fires, and then they turned on the TV and saw Fox Cable live streaming the incident. This metaphor cannot be described simply as a coincidence, perhaps this is intended to prevent this qiē, including the war that is now taking place. ”

Underneath this journal is a great deal of public opinion.

There are few positive words.

"Does Daniel want to make a comeback and re-establish his reputation as an anti-war capital? But that's a bit stupid, does he think he's the Son of God? ”

"Now, Hollywood stars, who are usually mindless, have made a stupid move this time."

"Hunch? Didn't he have a premonition that the United States was about to destroy terrorist groups in Afghanistan? ”

"Stupid ridiculous."

"When I heard it, I really felt blind, and I shouldn't have gone to see his movies."

After taking a closer look, Daniel looked up and glanced at the members of his team.

Cusa, Melissa, Trick, Andy, all on the field.

"It's okay to deny it, they don't have any evidence, and we can completely accuse Mrs. Channing and her son of slander." Trevor was mad, he thought that the attack would come from all sides, but he never imagined that the cook at home would be the source of this qiē, which is ironic.

Tricker's plan wasn't the best, but it was the most that could be done at the moment.

"I think it's best to talk to Mrs. Channing, and explain that Daniel only said how she felt after a rough idea of what had happened, but she heard it wrong, or didn't hear it all." This is the building yì of Kusa.

Melissa is more in favor of the latter, and Tricker's plan is too violent, and the effect is certainly not good, and the public is skeptical. But whether Mrs. Channing will cooperate is a question, and again, people will think that this is the remedy and operation of Daniel's team.

Daniel frowned and thought about it, this might affect his planning, and he had to be cautious, otherwise those who watched the show would be too happy.

At this time, there are indeed a lot of people who watch his good show.

George Clooney, who had followed him on the Anti-War and Peace Committee, was now so happy that he didn't forget to call Brad Pitt to share his happiness.

Johnny Depp, reminded by Tracy, is also watching what he does.

As the minutes ticked by, Trick had already reminded him twice that the response had to be quick, otherwise it would spread and the statement or salvage measures would not be effective enough.

"Andy, Fred, please come over." Daniel suddenly raised his head, "Brothers and sisters, this is a critical time, listen to me, we can do this......"

……

The Coalition for Equal Rights, Finn Collins' office, and Donald, the coalition's director, was talking to him about it.

"It's stupid," Donald had always been dismissive of Daniel, but he could have used his fame in the first place, so he was happy to see Finn's mention come to fruition, but now he deeply regretted it, "Finn, we have to do something to make a move, we can't be dragged into the water by him." ”

"Donald, wait a minute, maybe it's not Daniel's stun. I've dealt with him, and he's not that brainless person. ”

"Finn, it's too late, you see, his team hasn't reacted so far, and the media reporters will definitely blow up Kusa Damon's phone, which means something, it shows that they are helpless, whether it really happened or not. But now the public thinks that this qiē did not happen, and Daniel can't tell, so the status quo is like this, and there is no way to change it. And, you have to know, Finn, what this thing means to us, and especially to the Anti-War and Peace Commission, that we have chosen such a stupid anti-war opportunist so with such a bang, that our credibility will be lost, and then no one will want to fund us, and the coalition will have to be disbanded and shut down. Can you afford the consequences? ”

"Donner, are you threatening me? I am the secretary general of the alliance, and you are only the director, and I am the one who decides this qiē. ”

Finn's eyebrows furrowed together, he was more sensitive to the internal crisis than the one, and Donald clearly wanted to exaggerate the impact of the matter, and then the next thing was to attack his decision-making and get him out of the seat and sit on his own.

Dream!

Because of this incident, there are many people who gloat, such as the internal crisis in the Equal Rights Alliance.

In particular, several companies that still have zài partnerships with Daniel are even more concerned about this qiē.

Daniel's personal cell phone has already taken several calls.

MGM's Helen Dele, Universal's Ron Meyer, Disney's Robert Iger and Jerry Bruckheimer, and even Tom Hanks gave him a call, but he was willing to help, and Tom was willing to help with PR resources.

Of course, Daniel's life is not so bad, in addition to thousands of fans, many of Daniel's friends in the circle are also paying attention and praying that he can get through this hurdle.

Paul Walker and Ellie Rattle, partners in Gladiator and The Lord of the Rings.

This article by Saborn Channing has caused fluctuations throughout Hollywood, and in a certain direction it can also prove Daniel's influence today.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kusa Damon was interviewed by many media outlets in front of Daniel's house.

"We have taken note of Mr. Channing's report, first of all, we condemn this kind of recourse of private conversation to the press, which is not a public act."

"So you admit this qiē, right?"

"Does Daniel really have a horror metaphor?"

"Public opinion thinks that you are inviting names and fooling the public, how do you respond?"

Cussa had only said one sentence before being overwhelmed by the gossip of questions, and he had to wait a few moments for everyone to quiet down before he could continue speaking.

"Yes, things are facts, in fact, Daniel had not felt well the day before the incident, but of course he did not think that that kind of thing would happen, he just thought that he had paid so much attention to the war during that time that it had sequelae."

"Do you have proof?"

This time, the preemptive reporter asked everyone's only question.

Kusa nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, we have, we will announce here then, at four o'clock, a specific and detailed response to this matter, but we must first say that Daniel will never use war as a means of gaining attention, that is a shame, please believe us, believe Daniel."

With that, Kusa turned and went back to the villa.

This short response was quickly published in the form of a newsletter on the websites of major portals and mainstream media outlets.

The vast majority of Daniel's fans breathed a sigh of relief, now that Kusa has admitted and admitted that there is evidence, it should not be a problem.

Then they moved on to "Daniel's metaphor of horror."

And in the crowd of ordinary netizens, this response is not so good.

"Let's see what ridiculous evidence they've concocted in two hours."
