After the grand premiere of "Vali", Daniel politely declined the invitation of many friends to kill the backstage, nightclubs, bars, or directly hotels - you must know that there are also many newcomers and models from various companies today, most of whom are ready to "exchange their bodies for opportunities", Melissa is so contemptuous, Daniel thinks it should be tactful.

"They're here to succeed, aren't they? The competition is so strong, of course, you have to use all your own conditions to fight for it. ”

"As a studio owner, a superstar, it's hard for me not to suspect that the only reason you're supporting them is to give yourself some chances."

Daniel glared at her.

"After all these years, haven't you seen the essence of my purity? Do you think the Young Distinguished Medals are given for free? ”

Tatum, Efron and others are also in Daniel's oversized RV.

The car was a luxury bulletproof version customized to the Jimsi company and cost nearly 1 million. When the car is deployed, Daniel's bodyguard can be reduced to four. Of course, there were only two people in the car except for Miller, and the remaining two had already gone to the store where they were going to go for a supper.

Security is probably the biggest headache for Daniel of all the problems he is currently experiencing. After the previous attack in New York, his security level was once raised to the highest level, with 8 security personnel with him, liaising with the security company at any time, attending events, and maintaining a security scale of at least 20 people - this only refers to his personal personal security personnel, who are generally invited to his activities, and the security level itself is very high. But as things eased, Miller loosened his security level, but in recent years, as attacks have increased, his regular security level has been raised. This caused a lot of trouble in his daily life, in addition to the crew, the company, attending events and his own villa. He basically wouldn't go anywhere else, the movement was too loud, and Miller would be very nervous.

The young actors were still a little restrained, but seeing Melissa and Daniel arguing obviously made them relax a lot.

"Channing, how is Mike's story?"

Daniel suddenly remembered that "Magic Mike" was actually Tatum's personal story, so the second half also seemed to have some intention of following his life trajectory, making the whole story lack a clear main line. To love, no problem. It's okay to wake up, but when it comes to telling a story, you have to be persuasive – and often that means a clean and focused story. Daniel's version of "Magic Mike" was processed by a screenwriting team, trying to retain its "wildness" while making the story more reasonable and interesting.

For Tatum, this had some unexpected effect - he didn't think it was his story, he just felt that the similarity was high. This made him feel very excited, and his emotions were directly reflected in the performance. On the one hand, he understands Mike's psychology and has the skills of a dancer, and on the other hand, in his opinion. It's not putting on a show, so it's not trying to cover it up or embellish anything. The story became more vivid, real and interesting, and his performance was evaluated to a considerable extent - it was only then that the crew and the company learned about Daniel's vision for the selection of people. Although many people know that he actually just watched some of Tatum's sporadic works and photo photos.

That's what it's like, isn't it? That's what everyone at DD Pictures thinks anyway.

Daniel's hospitality is a French teppanyaki shop, and the shop is not large. So after negotiation, they simply closed the store and only entertained Daniel.

As a result, as soon as Daniel arrived, he simply asked Melissa to call back, and recruited dozens of people to come over, filling the store to the brim.

Twelve chefs, six lines, cooked and eaten, whatever you eat. After this kind of food was introduced to China, Daniel liked it very much, and often invited three or five friends to drink a little wine while eating fish and scare, which was not the same as the style in front of him.

Daniel took a few members of the team and was called back by Paul on the way. Walker, plus a few young actors - Natalie and Amanda didn't shout, the famous female stars are more troublesome, and there are already paparazzi shooting through floor-to-ceiling glass outside.

……

Zack. Efron and Vanessa. Hudgens is more excited, Melissa likes to talk to Vanessa, from makeup to costumes, from filming to gossip, Melissa has a secret in the industry, and if she leaks a little, it makes the fledgling Vanessa excited, and the ugliness of those glamorous stars can be imagined as a stimulus to her, a little actor, and the towering Hollywood collapsed in half. Efron and Paul. Walker talked happily, both of them like cars, the little one just likes it, and now he is not old enough to drive, usually at most stealing his father's car around the road, compared with Paul, a semi-professional racing driver, it is really a small thing, listening to Paul talk about Porsche, talking about Ferrari, it is simply dancing, I can't drive it immediately. Paul could well understand his feelings, and promised to take him on the highway for a while.

Unlike the two little ones, Efron, who is the same age as Daniel, is a bit dull, speaking of which, he is also an active member in the circle of friends, because he has been mixed since he was a child, he can play and play, and he has a lot of friends, whether it is a dog meat friend or a sincere one, after all, there are few such performances today - basically it feels unnatural wherever the hand is placed.

No way, except for Efron and Vanessa, who are even less qualified than him, everyone sitting here today is a famous person in Hollywood. And those two people are small and innocent, ignorant and fearless, and they can't understand the energy of these people at all.

Daniel. Sandler, needless to say, the top person in Hollywood, and the behind-the-scenes boss of his favorite F2F, is the ultimate idol of Tatum himself, I just think that being a man to the point of Daniel is worthy of coming to this world, asking for money and money, power and power, status and status, fame and fame, nothing is lacking, and some are the best. In front of such a person, no matter how mixed Tatum is, he will inevitably suppress the sound of breathing.

Kusa. Damon, CAA's Senior Vice President, Daniel. Sandler's big agent, Scarlett. Johnson's big broker. No matter which identity it is, it is enough to make people look up in Hollywood. Tatum is still signed to a small modeling agency. Although he is now the top pillar of the company, it is only that large, and even the top is limited. When his contract expires, the most he wants to join is of course CAA, and it would be great if he could go directly to Kusa's command - although it is unlikely, after taking Scarlett, Kusa has not brought any new people. With this man and woman under him, Hollywood A-level stars want to join him, not to mention his inadequacy.

As for the others. Melissa. Ryan, the chief content officer of DD Pictures and the vice president of MGM Pictures, is well-known. Trick, the Hollywood PR superman, has a direct influence on the Weinstein brothers. Paul. Walker, the most enviable actor in Hollywood, has a popular commercial series and is busy with his little hobbies every day. The key is to have a good life. "Furious 3" has just been kicked out, and soon DD's first production of over 100 million yuan found him again. After working with the staff of MGM and DD for so long, Tatum certainly knows a little more than ordinary people outside, and knows that it is a high-investment special effects commercial movie. It was also prepared when the series came. What's more, Daniel doesn't have many friends in the industry, and Paul decided to be the number one person, who let them know each other early.

In front of such a large number of people. Tatum is difficult to portray natural, and it is also very ordinary. However, he is still trying his best to adjust, and the people in the top positions will not like those who are reckless and do not know the seriousness. But it will definitely not look at the cringe. Tatum has been around for many years, and he still has a good eye for these things.

Daniel had actually been keeping an eye on him.

This may be the most profitable post-80s actor in the whole of Hollywood, Daniel remembers that one year was even second only to Robert Jr. Downing - With "Iron Man", he became the most commercially valuable man in the world. Daniel couldn't help but be a little curious about him, a very talented actor, and certainly familiar with the rules and gameplay of Hollywood.

Sure enough, Tatum gradually eased up from his anxiety and inserted Paul first. In the conversation between Walker and Efron, he didn't like the car, but he also knew something, it was not difficult to get involved, and he could joke with Melissa and them in the interval, no matter what position a woman came from, she would never have a bad feeling for a handsome and talkative man.

"What? Think it's good? ”

Cusa and Daniel sat in the two most marginal positions, Daniel was the main person today to pay, and he drank a lot of red wine and champagne at the party, and now he has no appetite. Kusa simply came too late and left him a place on the side. He saw Daniel paying attention to Tatum without a trace, and with Daniel's acting skills, sitting opposite Tatum and observing him, he would not be discovered, and Kusa knew him too well.

"You're an agent, can't you see his potential?"

"Potential is important, but opportunity is even more important, you arrange two plays for him, if the response is really good, of course he can become famous overnight."

"Yes." Daniel nodded, "But it's also his ability to get the opportunity I gave him, right?" ”

Kusa blinked, "I asked the agent below to talk to him about the brokerage contract." ”

Daniel glanced at him, meaningfully.

……

The star-studded premiere of "Wall-E" and Daniel's banquet for guests naturally became the highlight of the next day.

The former's multiple test screenings are mainly aimed at film critics, weekly or monthly media, and selected audiences, and the film reviews they give are still somewhat mobile in the professional field. However, for ordinary people, of course, it does not play too much of a publicity role, after all, he is not the publicity team of "Wall-E", and DD Pictures invited them for now and after the release.

Major newspapers and outlets, including online media, like to quote the comments of well-known film critics.

Kent. Turan gradually replaced Roger, who was in poor health. Albert, who became the most talked about film critic - Roger couldn't help it, every era has its own heroes. Turan from blog to MB to F2F is the first among film critics, and with Daniel's intentional support, Turan has been tilted quite obviously in the promotion of professional users in the film category.

The fact that he himself is a pro-DD element is not news in the industry. However, in the end, he still has a face, and he doesn't do things out of nothing, generally speaking, at most, he magnifies the benefits a little bit and deals with the shortcomings lightly, but he will definitely not reverse black and white, which is also the key factor for him to maintain his influence. The role of film critics has something in common with Shanying Company, professionalism and fairness are very important, so Daniel rarely intervenes in them directly, it is normal to have tendencies, who does not have a like or dislike, the important thing is to be reasonable, not to be crooked.

"Wal-E is not well received, and compared to other animated feature films that take two or three years to make, Wal-E takes less than a year and is rumored to have a much smaller budget than similar films...... When we were amused and moved by this dilapidated robot, surprised by the unique animation style, and amazed by the magnificent and graceful 3D graphics, we had to admit that neither budget nor time would affect the quality of a work. This is a movie suitable for children because it is interesting, and at the same time, it is also suitable for adults to watch because it is full of touching emotions, whether it is love or dreams, it is the theme that the movie successfully conveys. ……”

There are many media outlets that reprint Turan's film reviews, most of them are just enumerations, and a small part is special analysis, such as the "Los Angeles Times" where Turan works, which has made an analysis of the movie, of course, they have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and it is impossible to spoil before the release, but the reporters of "The Times" are extraordinary, and they also wrote a large film without spoilers.

The entire version, above is the star of the premiere, and below is the detailed analysis of the movie, which gives enough attention.

Compared with the "hard work" of the Times, the Washington Post is slightly "flattering" -- of course, this is only in the eyes of some people.

For example, Dick. Cook, John. Lasseter, and Robert who sat in his place. Egger.

Even though they both attended yesterday's premiere and were happy with their hosts, that doesn't mean they want to see rave reviews for "Wall-E."

In fact, seeing the Mail's blunt headline -- "Daniel. Sandler's success will continue", none of them will really feel good.

"Andrew never mentioned the story." Lasseter broke the silence.

"But after he left Pixar, it took him just one year to produce it." Dick added.

“…… Daniel, after all, is different. ”

Robert felt that the title was a little glaring, but still stared at it. (To be continued......)
