Chapter 358: New Award Scheme
"Wonderful Night at the Museum" was filmed in Vancouver, Canada. Stiller's original is the same. Interestingly, the first choice was supposed to be Montreal, but Stiller chose Vancouver for personal reasons. However, when the lead actor was changed to Daniel, Sean. Levy himself proposed the Vancouver option – a coincidence that Daniel was no longer surprised.
It's a rich work, and the intervention of the Harry Potter trio gives it a lot of room for imagination, and the biggest thing that impresses Fox and Sean about the script is its creativity: yes, when the sun takes its last rays from the horizon, all the specimens of a natural history museum: including rare prehistoric life, wonderful animals on the African continent, primitive tribes that have disappeared into the long river of time, and heroes who have had an important impact on the times, who have gained life in the darkness - yesAll that Larry has experienced may have been a fantasy that every child who visits a natural history museum has ever had. What a great experience it would have been if this mammoth had come to life, or be able to say a few words to one of history's biggest figures?
The excitement of the story starts here, and the unknown encounter inevitably means the unknown reaction, and these are all attractive points.
For Daniel, playing a down-and-out father was a very different experience.
It's a bit of a luxury, too, for him to get used to, and in the hustle and bustle of awards season. So after accepting the Golden Globe Award, he joined the group to shoot "Wonderful Night", and never returned to Los Angeles and has been working here. Claude. Parr, the film's art set director, built a New York Museum of Natural History in Vancouver, and although the rest of the work was relatively simple except for a partial reproduction, the result was not easy. It is also a budget expense item for the majority of the head. So on the other hand, as an investor, Daniel also has time to focus on other on-set work and production runs - he's also learning more skills and experience, and in general, whether it's DD Pictures or Plutos Investments, he's more of a strategic leader, which means he doesn't need to fully understand the specific technical underpinnings of what he's doing. But as an actor, Daniel is interested in working on the set of the film as a whole, and waits until one day. He may direct or act as an executive producer, and that's when it all comes to fruition.
Kusa. Damon regularly came to Vancouver to report to him, Sally was always by his side, and the two crew assistants helped him a lot, and Miller with security guards to make sure he was in sight at all times - a superstar paid a lot, but there were also a lot of people to support, and every aspect required a professional person and team.
More than a week after the Oscar nominations came out, Daniel worked in Vancouver for nearly half a month.
The Sun's Roy. Stan "softens" for the first time on the Internet. For the first time, Daniel gave him a "shameless" evaluation.
"So, is there any other reason for him besides using me to be in the limelight?"
Of course, Kusa knows all about these things, although he doesn't have to go to the media to gather information now. Basically, it was all given to his assistants. But all the news about Daniel is still the very central part of his work.
"Roy and Roger are on good terms."
"Huh? Isn't Roger always in the hospital? Roy shouldn't have been in the Sun Times for too long, right? ”
"Yes, but Roy was Roger who recommended him to the Sun, supposedly. There is no conclusive evidence, but the credibility is not low, and Roy should be Jean. Siscol's nephew. Or something else. Do you know Siscol? He passed away when you first started in the industry, but I had a movie review show with Roger before, which was quite influential, and they were also very good friends. ”
Daniel nodded, understanding the ultimate crux of the matter.
If Roy can get Roger's full support, then there is only a limit to what can be done here, unless there are no scruples.
Daniel's thoughts began to drift out.
Withdrawing from the Oscars is something he has never heard of, and no one has ever made such a suggestion. Since the formation of a trend of personal expression, there is no Oscar darling like Daniel, who has won three trophies in just 6 or 7 years, which is indeed incredible.
"Do you think this opinion is representative?"
Kusa was stunned, he looked at Daniel, as if he wanted to confirm Daniel's intentions, could it be that Daniel really intended to withdraw from the Oscar selection?
How is this possible?
Subconsciously, Cusa wanted to stop Daniel from thinking about it.
However, he soon dismissed this speculation.
Rejecting the Oscar is a completely thankless task - the most likely comment is "arrogance", avoid taking too much, so rejecting the Oscar is definitely inseparable from the "arrogant" comment. The personal image that Daniel has been portraying has absolutely nothing to do with the term.
"I don't think it's a representative opinion, it's simply nonsense."
"What do you think the media will do with Roy's remarks?" Without waiting for Kusa to respond, he continued to ask, "What can Tribe do?" ”
As he said, the media may not have intended to cooperate with Roy, but his remarks may have opened a new window into reporting on Daniel, which cannot be said to be entirely negative — after all, if you don't get too much recognition for the awards, this kind of discussion will not arise. But what is certain is that if the media flocks to the report, the pressure on Daniel will also increase.
As Roy wishes, it is an arrogant move, and if he refuses, this topic will probably stay with Daniel for the rest of his life.
"What are you going to do?" Kusa frowned, "Actually, we don't have to do anything, even if there is some argument, it won't have much influence." ”
"This is an opportunity," Daniel stood up suddenly, "Kusa, do you think this is an opportunity, because you may have won too many Oscars and have been asked for something, which is unprecedented." On the other hand, isn't that an endorsement? Recognition is better than all past Oscar winners in at least one way. ”
Daniel. Sandler has developed to this day, whether it is a superstar, a global icon, or even a legendary star, he is also wearing the title of "one of the best actors of his time". On this basis, I want to improve again. The Oscar is a good excuse to win three Best Actor and one Supporting Actor to ensure that he surpasses all the male actors - although this is not the only criterion, it is still crucial for Daniel to achieve this record, he is not a niche acting school that focuses on literary films, he is a world-renowned icon, so this record is especially significant for him.
Roy. Stan's outrageous words provide him with another way of thinking.
"I plan to announce that starting in 2007, I will only take on at most 2 plays a year." Daniel smiled, "It didn't affect me very much. And there is more and more work behind the scenes, and there is always a need to put more energy into it, and two works a year are more appropriate. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now it seems like a good time to announce it. ”
"In addition, I also hope to create a new film award through F2F, MB, Google, Yahoo and other websites in the field of Internet social networking and search!"
This is an idea that Daniel has been thinking about for a long time, and one that makes Cusa. Damon's heart-pounding plan.
New Hollywood Awards!
America's Teen Choice Awards may be the most recent of the most influential awards -- it was born in 1999, when Daniel was just entering Hollywood. Presented by Fox Broadcasting. Voters set an age limit, from 13 to 19, almost for young people born after 80 years. This precise target demographic judgment helped the Youth Choice Award to achieve rapid success. In fact, Americans born in 80 have very different ideas and habits, and providing them with a platform to express their understanding of entertainment is definitely a good move.
"Kusa. We are now blessed with over 100 million users worldwide for MB and over 140 million for F2F. Add to that Google, or perhaps Yahoo, and we cover users who are more than representative of the Internet age. However, whether it is the earliest People's Choice Award, or the later Children's Choice Award, and even the Youth Choice Award, these awards produced through the people's vote are not as superior in information collection as ours. This is indeed the best opportunity, the beginning of the social era, why prepared for this opportunity. ”
Kusa understands the perks that come with leading an award, and the academy's concentration of professional committees has made the Oscars almost the most influential professional awards show in the world. But the 78-year journey of the Oscars is undoubtedly and also makes the academy more authoritative. In addition, the college has received a great deal of benefit from this, not to mention the large number of benefits.
But he is not sure whether the plan will be realized, and what the impact will be if it fails.
"At least we should have the courage to give it a try."
Daniel's tone was extremely firm, and in fact, once he decided on something, no one in the whole team could object. Kusa gave up thinking about whether something needed to be done or not, and instead focused on how to do it.
There is no doubt that F2F and MB need to be planned first, Google needs to communicate, it is not yet known whether the other party is interested in participating, social media and the entertainment industry are closely related, and so far, the verified accounts of entertainment stars, whether they are movie actors, TV actors, singers, hosts, etc., are still an important guarantee for social networks to attract new users. So F2F and MB have full motivation to do this work, while Google doesn't.
"It's going to be quite a cumbersome."
"But it's more effective than most advertising, and it's long-term, sustainable, and game-changing."
If this new award can replace the series of popular awards and become the most influential representative of the voting awards, then the benefits that organizers such as F2F and MB will reap are undoubted. To take a simple example, all stars who are interested in this award need to have at least one account, and all viewers who want to follow and influence this award must apply for an account to vote on the website, or provide influence elements, such as mentions, exposure, fan professional activity, etc. Usually, an important award will always have tens of millions of viewers, while the influence will reach a wider audience.
It's definitely a good deal, if it can be done.
Cusa was convinced, in fact, that from the outset he did not object, although many doubts were raised. But in his heart, he recognized early on that it was a good idea.
"Try to use as few people as possible from DD and MGM, let Mark and Javier provide people, and in addition, on Fred's side, the Mountain Eagles have a lot of masters in this industry, and they can pull it in."
Mountain Eagle gradually got rid of Daniel, Fred led its development, and despite the rapid expansion in the past few years, its business is now more or less stable, in addition to Hollywood, it is also involved in other data research and analysis business, such as the 2004 presidential election, Mountain Eagle's poll numbers are quite consistent with the final election results.
The introduction of Mountain Eagle can also provide a guarantee for new awards in the industry to some extent.
Kusa nodded.
Pointing to the computer screen in front of Daniel, "What about this, do you still want to respond?" ”
"Well, let's take a moment, wait until the Oscars are over, whether we get it or not- well, by the way, Trick came over to talk to me last time about whether I want to do some work, he thinks the timing is good, but I'm still a little hesitant, what do you think?"
Once Daniel moves to win the Oscar, at least some of the top people in the industry will definitely be able to understand, and he is also known that he did not move the Golden Globe Award. So far, there aren't many high-class people who really think he can win an Oscar, Roger. Albert, if he was physically fit and had the energy to understand these things, would have fallen into this category.
Jumping out of Roy. Stan must not have known anything, and it seems that Roger may not have cared that much about Roy.
Cusa was less supportive of Tricker's opinion.
"If you show too much ambition, including the new awards, a lot of the work may not be able to go smoothly."
Daniel nodded, it is normal for an actor to fight for an Oscar, but his identity is indeed more sensitive, counting DD and MGM, the Oscar resources in his hands are among the best in Hollywood. Once you focus on the actor, instead of working hard for "The Immortal Gardener" and "Wall-E" like the original plan, I am afraid it will attract some real criticism.
"It's all hard to decide, and I'm going to have to fight dinosaurs tomorrow." Daniel stretched, "Have you seen the scene?" Wearing the kind of green clothes with sensors all over the place, and tails and heads and stuff like that. However, in the later stages of what they are doing, it looks pretty good, and Vita's technology level is getting more and more advanced. ”
"Well, no. Maybe we'll have to talk about it again. ”
Cussa's mind was still stuck on the question. (To be continued......)
