Chapter 406: A Master's Move, a Good Show

Trevor flew to London to discuss the matter with Daniel in person, and was told "don't worry."

How could he not be in a hurry?

He couldn't understand Daniel's indifference—though they did face a lot of turmoil over the years, and this time it wasn't a fatal problem. But with several films in theaters, Daniel's personal popularity will have an impact on the box office, which is predictable - even if temporary exposure can boost the box office, in the long run, it doesn't even have to be too far away, and the number of screens given by the theater chain may change for new films on the Christmas schedule.

Box office impact, this is an issue that no production company should take lightly.

In fact, during the promotion and release of "Unstoppable", Daniel confused many team members.

It used to be David, now it's Trick, Daniel knows, Melissa, Lang. Meyer and Sally both had doubts, but Daniel's authority had kept them silent, just like Trick Now, and although he didn't agree with Daniel's attitude, he still didn't mean to question him face to face.

What Daniel thinks is probably something that only Kusa can know.

However, they did not communicate frankly, so Kusa only guessed some of them by mutual understanding and knowledge of Daniel, and as for the rest, no one could know except Daniel of the Prophet.

Since 2005, Daniel has ended his sabbatical.

Starting with "The Social Network," Daniel has made too many moves, such as buying MGM and creating DD Animation, and with the success of a series of new MGM films, and the win-win box office and word-of-mouth win, these investments have gradually translated into money, power, and status. In addition, the big debate over whether Daniel should get the third Oscar caused by "The Immortal Gardener" also made Daniel beautiful, and even Rose of "The Sun Times" suggested that Daniel give up participating in the Oscars. All add to Daniel's legendary aura. Then MB ushered in its own market capitalization peak, F2F spread out globally, and the users of various language versions exceeded 200 million, which was reflected in Hollywood, which was the establishment of the "Social Age Public Choice Award" - this popular award is still in its first installment, and it has attracted attention because of the power of its organizers in the Internet age, as for the admonition of religious extremism, and the Grand Cross of the Order of Her Majesty, these events have undoubtedly pushed Daniel's level in the pyramid society.

Daniel believes that until this year, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 achieved more results than Pirates 1. The global box office is even expected to exceed 1 billion.

This two-year-old negative pressure on rising influence has accumulated to a tipping point.

As it turned out, he was right.

"Indomitable" has triggered such a big tide of public opinion, large media, industry executives, critics and public opinion observers, and fans...... There are still many groups that have not made a voice, and they all seem to be eager to pour out and announce Daniel's defeat.

It is a process of venting and releasing stress.

Daniel could indeed listen to David's advice, hype up "Unstoppable" and use various schemes. With his attention today, and the media resources at his disposal, it would have been easy for "Unstoppable" to break the box office trajectory of the original, but he didn't. He even used the method of reducing the publicity estimate to balance the expectation bonus brought by his appearance - Daniel starring and the original Jack Kun. Starring Phoenix, of course, there is a difference in expectations.

Daniel did it because he understood.

No one can cover their head upwards. Never be constrained...... This society, whether it is the United States or China. It's all the same, there is too much power that wants to pull the ascendant down, and the higher you rise, the more that force becomes, so big that one day it will break your bones.

A very clear example of this is Michael. Jackson.

This pressure is not only manifested in the countless scandals that have immersed Michael, but also in the transformation of his heart, and any entertainment worker who has achieved great things must be sensitive at heart - an outlier like Daniel is a unique freak created by a rebirth that transcends common sense. So Michael becomes more and more vulnerable, weaker and weaker – and then more wrongdoing, until he gets caught in a vicious circle and eventually destroys the man.

Fighting against this force is not revealed, it itself is naturally based on Daniel's achievements, and the only way to completely solve it is to stop going upwards and end the performance life.

Daniel certainly couldn't have done that.

The temporary, or "palliative, not cure" approach, is to release the pressure before it erupts.

Daniel took a year off in 2004 because of this consideration, Daniel's admission to Berkeley, and now Daniel has let "Unstoppable" follow its original trajectory, even more so because of this consideration.

However, when making these decisions, a more important consideration is how to use these movements to make him stand taller.

After all, for Daniel, the ultimate goal of the act of releasing pressure is still to achieve more breakthroughs and achievements.

The box office trajectory of "Unstoppable" can be said to provide him with a wonderful opportunity.

In other words, even though Daniel has never been a director, this time, he did direct the media, his peers, fans, and even his own team of employees, taking advantage of the opportunity to direct a spectacular drama. It's just that no one knows that he has become one of the protagonists of this play except himself. Each of them worked hard to perform, showed 12 points of strength and excitement, and fully demonstrated their ability, wisdom and combat effectiveness.

This may be the most proud time since Daniel's rebirth to use his "prophetic" advantage, and it is also a situation that he can only do after many years of reaching such a high position.

……

"Unstoppable" won 14.73 million in the first two days of the first weekend, which is not much different from the first Friday of "Casino Royale".

The "Daniel failure theory" is becoming mainstream.

This time, his fans and supporters seem to be gradually unable to find words, and the good word-of-mouth has not brought it a reverse box office result, so it is not worth mentioning.

Daniel himself, his team, and DD Pictures still did not respond to the media's growing requests for comment.

It seems that they are going to accept this assessment. (To be continued.) )

PS: Huhu, it's the last day! You know, huh
