Chapter 247: Natalie's Assist
DD Pictures unilaterally halted the negotiation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and Daniel's head of the investment department, Ferguson, confirmed the news in an interview with the media, saying that due to unexpected factors, the plan was temporarily removed from Daniel's schedule, and the current communication with Disney is still smooth, but the date of the negotiation response is still uncertain.
Daniel posted a notice on his personal MB, saying that because of the previous two accidents, he was deeply saddened, so he would not participate in any promotional activities for "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Return of the King", and apologized to Legolas's fans.
The New York Post has compiled and reported on Daniel's series of actions.
Daniel, who holds "Spy" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", is believed to return in 2005 to launch at least one of the two series, most likely the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", if "Spy 2" can indeed be released in the summer of 2004 as scheduled. However, according to the information revealed by Universal Pictures and DD Pictures, it can be seen that the second part of "Spy Shadow" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are currently in a state of uncertainty, which means that Daniel may not have plans to return to work in the next two years.
According to reliable sources, Daniel has also declined Miramax's annual masterpiece "Cold Mountain" and Julia. Roberts' new work "Stealing Hearts", a confidential project in contact with Fox, is also on hold, after MGM said that it would consider inviting Daniel to star in the new 007, which has also been denied.
Considering that Universal Pictures is sure that it will not replace Jason. Bourne's candidate, and the influence of Captain Jack played by Daniel, it is difficult for Disney to risk a new pirate captain, so it should be certain that Daniel is turning down a large number of acting offers. Daniel will take the SAT2 test in October this year, which means he will enter college next fall to fulfill his dream of being on campus. Does he want to be like Natalie. Portman, like him, devoted himself to completing his college degree and returning to Hollywood to develop his career, if that was the case. Then maybe in three to four years, we're all going to have a hard time seeing Jason on the big screen. Captain Byrne or Jack too.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been climbing at the box office, and Daniel's news has been in the newspapers repeatedly.
The quarrel between the Elven Pie and the Captain Pie was quickly replaced by fears that he would refuse to appear in the sequels to The Hobbit and Pirates.
Public statements in response to the violence in Philadelphia and New York. He also began to think rationally, saying that "there is no truth in attributing youth violence to two films that don't promote violence." The MPAA jury committee also issued its own announcement under repeated questions from the media.
The announcement indicates that neither The Lord of the Rings Trilogy nor Pirates of the Caribbean are violent and there is no indication that they are responsible for the violence that occurred in the recent past. They called on society and families to pay more attention to the other underlying causes of violence.
Daniel's halt on both films at the same time also took parents by surprise, even though some of them called on Daniel to do something about it. But there is no expectation that Daniel will really make any moves other than verbal attention. In this way, the pressure quickly coalesced into the people who called for it.
The huge number of Lord of the Rings fans and Caribbean fans, as well as some movie lovers who have always been very dissatisfied with the nitpicking of people in society, this force should not be underestimated.
And in the eyes of those who care, all this certainly shows another meaning.
Daniel's response to what was previously directed at him in such a drastic way is surprising, and Universal Pictures' cooperation can still be imagined, but New Line Pictures announced that Daniel would not participate in the full promotion of "Return of the King". Not only did he not express his dissatisfaction with Daniel on this point, but he quickly expressed his willingness to respect Daniel's decision, and of course, he did not forget to put gold on himself. said that New Line Pictures has always attached great importance to social concerns, and there is no leading violence or offending any group. This is clearly a response to accusations of racism in The Lord of the Rings.
……
"You have a good relationship?"
"It's just a one-sided relationship." Daniel looks at Natalie on TV. Portman, this lady is talking nonsense in a serious way.
The reporter tried to tie her to Daniel, "We know that you just finished your studies at Harvard. And Daniel. Sandler is trying to get into a university, and I would like to ask, what are your thoughts on this, or are you going to give him some advice? ”
In fact, the reporter who asked the question himself did not want to get any answers.
In general, when it comes to unfamiliar peers, celebrities usually only say two nice words, such as "bless him" and "great".
But Natalie had a surprise for them.
"Yes, I will give him some advice, although he wants to study business and I want to study psychology, but I will still share some application experience with him, hoping that he will get what he wants. I know he did well on the SAT and I believe he can go to a very good university. In fact, he does care about the plan, he thinks that going to college is an important thing, and he wants to make up for it and be able to finish a degree quietly. ”
"Do you mean he'll start filming after he finishes his degree? In the four years starting next year, will no new dramas be re-filmed? ”
Natalie smiled and shook her head, "No, I didn't say that, I just heard him say that reading requires concentration and quietness." ”
When asked again, Natalie laughed and didn't answer.
It was obviously an assist for Daniel, but he never mentioned it to the pretty, smart girl.
The other party must have seen his thoughts in this series of games.
"I'll be reminded to call her later." Daniel turned off the TV and spoke to Sally.
Sally looked at him, "Natalie isn't an easy woman. ”
"I'm not an easy man to approach, either."
Shrugged his shoulders, "You're right, maybe you're a good fit." ”
Daniel can now be said to have countless friends in the circle, but the only ones who can really be considered good friends are David and Mark. Walker has also become very busy since the fire of "Fast and Furious", coupled with the birth of a child, family occupies most of his rest time, the two have rarely met, and the relationship has inevitably faded.
It's also the norm, and it's rare for celebrities to make close friends in the circle - that means you're waiting to make headlines once you turn around.
Natalie's assist, which can be regarded as Daniel's previous series of actions, is all in plain sight.
Four years!
Does that mean Daniel was on campus until 2008? This is incredible, Daniel, who frequently appears in popular movies, has made people accustomed to his presence in recent years, and now he chooses to retreat bravely, which is a big news that people pay attention to anyway.
……
Robert. Iger had stopped his previous behavior, and Universal and New Line Pictures gave in one after another, and this time the impromptu joint action was declared a failure.
Of course, the so-called failure is just a matter of not winning and not losing.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" did rise at the box office in this wave of news, and "The Return of the King" also received some criticism.
The goal of teaching Daniel is not completely unachieved, and now Daniel must know that it is impossible to make unlimited conditions, and he needs to restrain his greed.
Regardless, however, Daniel didn't lose either.
He reversed his public opinion disadvantage, and in this wave of back and forth, he once again confirmed his status and attention.
also clearly told the studio giants that he is not a soft persimmon, and it is not easy to want a cheap and easy-to-use Daniel.
In fact, in the eyes of most people in the industry, Daniel is already a winner after an undefeated match with Disney.
On the other side is a group company with a market value of tens of billions, you are just a single-handedly Hollywood star, and the two sides are not of the same magnitude after all.
This turbulent undercurrent without a clear goal seems to end in such a situation, after the limelight, shake hands and make peace, continue to cooperate, make money, and pass on each other's intentions in place, and then it depends on the specific actions.
……
But unexpectedly, in an announcement by Apple, it said that the company would acquire several patented technologies from IMP in the form of private placement.
This was originally just a normal acquisition, and there were only a few words in the routine announcement, but out of close attention to Apple,
IMP company, began to be thoroughly checked by some reporters, this company was established less than a year, the scope of work is electronic product technology development, because the specific patent list is not listed, everyone expects that it should be applied to Apple's iPod or Mac computers. Even so, this derivative news, in general, has only received a slight attention in the field of technology business.
But there is a journalist in the field of science and technology, and he is also a lover of entertainment gossip.
The registrant of IMP is Raymond. Freeman.
Daniel's investment manager is also named Raymond. Freeman.
Comparing the two, the reporter determined that the two people were the same person.
Although Raymond is in charge of Protos Investment Company, this company actually does not have his name, because as Daniel's investment manager, many people in the industry know, although what he is doing specifically, because it involves **, no one knows, but at least this person is taking care of Daniel's huge wealth, everyone is clear.
The news broke out and quickly attracted attention.
The speculation about Daniel's investment direction has been prosperous over the years, but DD Pictures and Weta Digital have appeared on the surface, and there are no other discoveries, even if there are some clues, Daniel has not admitted it.
But this time, Trick directly acknowledged Daniel's investment, saying that it was his attempt to expand his investment options. (To be continued.) )
