Chapter 165 God of Ferguson The two finalize the time for the actress audition, and Jerry talks about the producer of the DD side.

"It doesn't necessarily require him to do any specific work, but after all, your investment is in it, and it is a responsible attitude for you to send someone to intervene."

Daniel nodded, he wasn't surprised that Jerry had brought it up.

Sometimes, there is an exclusion of producers, i.e., a limited number of parallel producers are not allowed or required, usually two. But there are many classifications of producers. The producers association PGA is different from industry organizations such as the actors' union and the screenwriters' union, that is, it is not very manageable, so in terms of the producer's signature, it is generally the studio and the producer themselves to talk. And once there is a dispute, it will be entrusted to the PGA to arbitrate, a very famous example is "Shakespeare in Love", which was forced to run the Oscar for Best Picture by the Weinstein brothers three years ago, this film won the best picture, and five people came to accept the award, which is generally considered too much, so since then, there are only three Oscar producers for Best Picture.

These three places generally include the first producer and the executive producer, and if there is no respected first producer, then there may be three or fewer executive producers.

In "Pirates of the Caribbean", Jerry is the undisputed first producer, Paul Deson and Bruce Hendrick are hired producers, hanging executive producers, which are also eligible for the podium, and the rest of Charlie Auman, Mike Statham and others are all producers of Jerry Bruckheimer, they can only be co-producers, not eligible to receive awards, of course, they don't have much work in the early planning and marketing promotion.

If Daniel goes in by himself, it will be a bit reluctant to hang the executive producer, but he can also fight, after all, he has participated in the script, the selection of directors, and casting, and will definitely participate in the specific shooting and post-publicity, which makes him somewhat confident. What's more, he is also the second investor, and the PGA increasingly discourages investors and celebrities from hanging producers, but if you insist on hanging it, except for a few rumors, ordinary people can't help you. But if Daniel just sent one person in, even David, he wouldn't be able to grab an executive producer, and he could only hang up as a co-producer like Charlie.

As the first producer, Jerry certainly doesn't mind how many co-producers he has, and they can't reach his clothes. In order to ensure that the cooperation with DD is smooth and pleasant, it is advantageous to have Daniel send a producer.

Daniel, of course, understood this, and he was wondering who to send.

Of course, DD Pictures has candidates, but Daniel is not very familiar with them, and David has new plans, so his people should also be useful, after all, DD has few people.

In addition to this, Daniel knows people inside:

Michael Toll, the producer of "School Blues," is now at the peak of his life, taking on a lot of work, but it doesn't make a difference. Speaking of which, this tactic has a significant impact on one's own credibility, for example, now, Daniel wants to invite him, the first one is worried that he will not have time, and the second is worried that his long list of unknown works will affect "Pirates" - Hollywood believes in these nonsense things.

Aside from him, Daniel found that he knew fewer producers, usually directors and producers.

combed through the people I knew from the beginning, "Campus Blues" and "Gladiator...... Ferguson!

The boy who mingled with Sharon Adams - of course, he was ten years older than Daniel. Originally an assistant director to Ron Howard, he seems to have produced one or two films in the past two years.

Ferguson has no qualifications, so he will naturally be more obedient, which will reduce the distraction of Jerry's work - some pretentious people like to give their opinions, but Daniel doesn't need such people now, Jerry can handle it. Daniel's butterfly wings have already flapped away Gore Wibinski and Johnny Depp, and unsurprisingly Keira Knightley, and if Jerry is not given enough space, he will really worry about this movie.

"Well, I seem to have a candidate, but let me think about it again, okay, I'll write back to you in two days to see if he's willing to join DD."

Jerry certainly wouldn't say no, at least for now.

……

After returning home, Daniel looked for Ferguson's phone, which was more reliable, and remembered to send the number after changing the phone.

"Hi Ferguson, good evening."

"Wow, Daniel? I'm waiting for your call. ”

"Huh?"

"Adams said today that he received a call from your company, and I think you should think of me too."

At this moment, Daniel was dumbfounded, but David's movements were quite fast, and he had already called Sharon, and as for Ferguson, if it weren't for Jerry's coincidental request for him to be a producer, I'm afraid he really wouldn't remember.

But now, of course, he doesn't have to admit it.

"Yes, Ferguson, I have an opportunity for you, to be a producer, how about it, are you interested?"

"I heard Adams say, maybe horror or comedy, is that the one he said?"

Daniel knew he had misunderstood, and Ferguson thought that Daniel was also looking for him because of DD Pictures' two low-budget films. This person also didn't want to think about how he could be Daniel talking on the phone in person since Adams was David's call, could he have a bigger face.

"No, Ferguson, isn't that one, "Pirates of the Caribbean", have you heard of it?"

There was a slight pause on the other end of the line, and Daniel heard a gasp, followed by Ferguson's slightly trembling tone, and Daniel didn't know if the fluttering sound he heard was his vocal cords, or the reeds of the phone. He did feel a tremor, though.

"Are you kidding? You're saying let me go to Pirates of the Caribbean as a producer? ”

"Just a co-producer, not much power."

"That's an A-level big system, more than 100 million investments, my God, today is not April Fool's Day, Daniel, you are not pretending, right?"

Daniel was made laughing and crying by his big string, and it was obvious that this was a coveted and exciting opportunity, especially for junior producers like Ferguson, who even those films that only released home videos could only be obtained by chance - more intuitively, with an annual salary of less than $100,000, I have to say, he was a bit miserable.

Obviously, he has become a producer of blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, no matter what co-producers and nominal producers he has, as long as he has this resume, he may no longer worry about job opportunities, at least for a few years.

Waiting until he had calmed down a bit, Daniel asked.

"Have you thought about it, if you think about it, come to DD Pictures tomorrow, ten o'clock in the morning, let's talk."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

It wasn't until he hung up the phone that Daniel could hear the continuous "Oh my God" coming from the microphone.

At this point, Daniel is indeed his God.

On the other end of the line, Ferguson hooked up with one of his new girlfriends, Grey, a doctor. Grey saw him go into the bedroom and answer a phone call, and then she went crazy, smirking and giggling.

"What's the good news? Happy to be like this, I just heard you say Daniel, which Daniel? How I don't know which of your friends is called Daniel. ”

Daniel is actually a very common name.

"Daniel Sandler!"

The plate in Grey's hand didn't shake, "Do you think I'm your ex-girlfriend of that TV actor, I've been blinded by your big words for more than half a year, Daniel is my idol It's good, but your lie is too outrageous." ”

"I really didn't lie to you this time, Daniel Sandler, I worked with him two years ago, you know, he was just a rising star, he played 'School Blues', he signed 'Gladiator'."

Lowering the fork, Grey took a closer look at Ferguson, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course!"

"Then why is he looking for you?"

"He asked me to be the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean, have you heard of Pirates of the Caribbean? Disney's new movie. ”

"Of course I know, I'm a die-hard fan of Daniel, and he still has an investment." Gray walked back to the kitchen, "So, your mind is still not clear, do you think you are Ferguson Bruckheimer?" Please be a producer. ”

Ferguson threw his head back on the couch.

"Tomorrow you can come with me to DD Pictures, and I'll go meet Daniel."

"Oh~~ dear, are you preparing some surprise for me?"
