When people take stock of the summer of 2002, "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars Episode 2" will surely become the most dazzling twin stars, and "Spy" will also be on the same list as the first two because of its charming box office trajectory and the unexpected result of 200 million in North America. And Daniel. Sandler has become a real star in this summer file, whether it is the superhero movie "Spider-Man", which has a higher box office, or the "Star Wars" series, which has countless fans around the world, no one has been able to surpass Daniel.

The 400 million box office did not make Toby. Maguire's pride lasted too long, and after "Spy" broke through 100 million, his tone became gentle and modest again in the interview, and his face was no longer dark when Daniel was mentioned, but he smiled gently and gave praise. As for George, who looks old. Lucas's new work, the young Skywalker becomes Hollywood's new lucky one, but it doesn't stop there, Hayden's watch Xiàn clearly lives up to the waves that this role once caused - Reese. Witherspoon's husband, Ryan. Philip, Daniel's best friend Paul. Walker, and Jonathan. Brandeis and Colin. Hanks has worked hard for this role.

As for Ivan. McGregor and Natalie. Portman, too, is no longer shining.

It's worth mentioning that apparently the Star Wars sequel to The Clone Crisis has bid farewell to its glorious tradition of being number one at the box office. "Spider-Man" has surpassed it, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" at the end of the year is also a strong contender, in fact, Newsweek when talking about the new film. Comparing the two, it is clear that Weekly is leaning towards the new series of films. "Lucas's work is old, and compared to the smooth, emotional Lord of the Rings, it is both lengthy and the narrative is stiff."

In fact, Daniel knows that "The Two Towers" will also surpass "The Clone Crisis" and "Spider-Man" in the global market, thus becoming Hollywood's highest-grossing film in the world this year. It further gave birth to Lord of the Rings fans who are not inferior to the scale of Star Wars fans.

It's a good thing that the media won't let go of this wonderful triangular drama, although it's a bit far-fetched. But they still forced Daniel, who was once invited to play "Spider-Man" and was one of the most high-profile characters in the "Lord of the Rings" series. Sandler dragged into the fray, saying that he had single-handedly defeated two behemoths.

The people who mocked Daniel for missing "Spider-Man" also had to put away their judgments.

Among them is Daniel's old rival Entertainment Weekly.

It said in its review with great regret, "Despite the unprecedented box office success of 'Spider-Man'. But 'Spider-Man' Toby. Maguire was replaced by Jason. Byrne-Daniel. Sandler was crushed under him. His role as a spy agent who has excited countless men and fascinated countless women may show that the achievements of an actor and the achievements of a film are sometimes not the same thing, and Daniel clearly understands this and has made the best choice for himself, he has always been a smart man, and his brain capacity is the best among Hollywood stars. ”

When one has enough topicality. Whether it is related to him or not, and whether he has the desire to be a supervisor or not. Topics will come to your door.

Something like "Daniel vs. Angelina. Julie's unhappy marriage expressed regret "This kind of, yes, Julie just and Billy. Bob. Thornton, that is, his second husband, separated.

In fact, Daniel was only calculated by tabloid reporters, and when asked about this question during his busy schedule, he only had an uncomfortable expression - which in the report became "a heavy face, obviously very sorry for the state of affairs." ”

However, these are already things that Daniel is used to, and he doesn't even need to explain to Angelina anymore, yes, that's the effect of the coffee position, and even if he doesn't, Julie can't be outwardly unhappy with him. Not to mention, Julie and Jon. Voight, that is, her father's discordant relationship has been made public, and Daniel, who has a good relationship with Voight and is often praised by him, naturally distances himself from Julie, although this speculation is very nonsense.

Still, even without all these strange factors, Daniel couldn't afford to spend any more time dealing with this mess right now.

Today, he will entertain the principals of the giant cinema chains in Los Angeles from the VIP room of one of AMC's theaters, such as Regal, AMC, Sunnemark, Carmichael, and of course, some local independent theater owners.

According to Daniel's status today, it is not uncommon to meet with the big bosses of these theater chains, but it is clear that no one is a fool when it comes to their respective interests. When Daniel contacted Regal's boss, he said he was not in the country, and AMC said that the company had a problem and that he was busy every day - everyone was very polite, but he was also very adamant that DD Pictures negotiate with their department head in the Los Angeles area, rather than directly with himself, the head of the company.

This is an unprecedented uphill battle.

This time, Daniel's convincing acting skills won't make much of a difference.

Daniel, David, Melissa, Rita. Four Wilson attended the reception.

Daniel was present in person, which was enough to give face, to cooperate or not to cooperate, the theater managers had to admit this love, after all, Tom. Hanks didn't come.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, the latest version of "My Grand Greek Wedding" began to be screened for everyone.

A Greek flair for American tastes.

There are endless jokes, as well as various emotions buried in the jokes that make people's hearts move occasionally.

Smooth plot and advancement, bright and modern art style, comfortable and pleasing costume styling.

It's a well-made film on a limited budget, and almost all the theater managers here think so.

"What's your opinion? Brent? ”

Brent. Vistar is the regional head of the Regal Cinemas in the Los Angeles area, owning more than 100 movie theaters and hundreds of screens in the Los Angeles area, and is a powerful figure in this area.

Brent groaned for a moment.

"I have to say, this is a good work, among the works made under a budget of 10 million, there is nothing more sophisticated, although the story is more traditional, but it will not make people feel bored and boring in the movie, the heroine's table is very moving, Daniel, your performance is as wonderful as ever. Seriously, this charming gentleman in the movie is a lot older than your actual age, but there is no trace of it, and it is very natural. Brent was clearly thinking about how to phrase it, "I would feel honored to be able to appreciate such a work." But—"

Daniel was amused by this "but", in fact, most people were amused by it.

"When I heard the praise of squeezing toothpaste in the front, I was even more worried about the latter one, because there is usually a compensating effect."

Brent himself laughed, "That's right, Daniel, I'm just doing my duty, and that's a responsible attitude for you guys as well. What I have to say is, do you think such a rich Greek background is really suitable for Americans? A wedding that happened in Greece, I mean, if it was at a carnival, or some exotic prom, it would definitely be loved and affirmed. But if people pay a few dollars for a ticket to the cinema, I think it's too much to overestimate people's feelings for Greece. This is too risky for Regal. Rather than scheduling it, I think it's relatively more acceptable for me to continue to keep the screen count of "Spy Shadows". ”

"Spy Shadow" is also your film, I can't schedule "Greek Wedding", but I can make a slight concession on "Spy", which is enough to give you face. Brent's idea is very obvious.

And this is clearly not just his opinion.

The head of Carmichael's Cinemas, Matthew. Fox, who has just over 30 movie theaters in the Los Angeles area, less than a third of the regal, but most of them are concentrated in the heart of the city, so the revenue is also relevant and objective, and the distributors will not ignore them. Moreover, Matthew doesn't seem to buy Daniel too much.

Since the popularity of digital copies, the attitude of cinemas towards producers has changed significantly, if it was before, a new blockbuster film needs a new copy, it must depend on the mood of the producer, if he is in a good mood, he will give it to you first, if he is in a bad mood, he will put you in the back. But now it's different, the copy key is just a string of numbers, and as long as the producer wants to make money, it won't card the cinema on it. In addition, what they can do is to restrict some promotional giveaways and the like, and there are almost no other ways to clamp down on the theater chain.

"Brent is right, Daniel, I don't know why you're calling everybody over just to see a movie like this. My advice is, you should go for overseas distribution, go to Greece, go to Eastern Europe, I think there will always be people who like to watch it. But this is the United States, and your idea is astonishing, you have a Greek-style movie in a movie theater in Los Angeles -- it might as well show a Chinese movie, at least there are a lot of Chinese here. It's a whimsical, time-wasting idea. Daniel, I know you're used to all kinds of success, but it's not that simple to release a movie, and it's not like asking us people to come and make money on the screen with a nod. ”

Matthew's voice is full of the lesson of "you are so innocent and ignorant of the world".

It's harsh, but Matthew clearly doesn't think so, or doesn't care. With that, he looked at his watch and leaned back in his chair. His eyes caught a glimpse of the watch in Daniel's hand, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection, which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and his mood was even worse.
