Brad. Gray was the first to walk out of the conference room, his face was normal, and of course he was not good-looking. Bright. Meyer and Universal's Stasi walked side by side, and the original superiors and subordinates now belong to the same head of the Seven Majors, but they are a little closer than before. After all, Universal Pictures still has a parent company on top of it, Lang. Meyer has always been one of the Stasi's competitors at Universal.

Warner Bros. Jeff. Robinoff and Robert. Iger was one step behind, and Mike. Linton and Fox's Bill. McNicoe walked last, whispering.

But most of them, listening attentively to Meyer and Stasi.

They were discussing Daniel.

"Daniel is at school now?"

"Yes, he needs to report in a hurry, and the premiere of 'Wall-E' is next Monday, so he's going to be there too."

Stasi nodded, "I met with Grigrass before and talked about the third part of "Spy", which should be filmed by this time next year, and it will probably be a little tight in the summer." ”

Bright. Meyer understands what Stasi meant, on the one hand, he is also emphasizing the relationship between Universal and DD, and on the other hand, he is indeed reminding Daniel that he needs to set aside time for "Spy 3". After all, he looks very full of work next year, and he still needs to study.

"I'll communicate with him, and there shouldn't be a problem." Meyer said with a smile, turning his head to look at Fox's McNicker, "Bill, I'm going to shoot "Wonderful Night at the Museum" at the beginning of next year, and I hope to have a good time working together." ”

"I don't remember working with MGM." McNicoe quipped that "The Museum" was a project of DD Pictures and had nothing to do with MGM.

"Don't forget, I'm the VP of DD Pictures." Meyer blinked, and everyone was amused except Brad at the front.

These Hollywood power figures do not have any friendship with each other, and they are unlikely to be because of each other's attitudes. It affects the cooperation between companies. So getting along with each other is quite free and casual, such as now, Brad. Gray was too annoying in the conference room just now, so now everyone collectively loses face and doesn't have any burden. It's even more unlikely that Paramount will be shut down from the other Big Six - if that were the case, Viacom would have told Brad to pack up his things and get out of here.

Therefore, he can only cover his head and keep silent now.

McNicle looked at Linton beside him, "Really. Fox works for DD Pictures again, and most of the revenue from the "Museum" film belongs to DD Pictures and Daniel, and we only take a small part."

It's no secret in the industry that Fox and DD Pictures collaborated on a low-budget comedy, and the important thing is that the film starred Daniel himself - that's fascinating enough to count the fact that Daniel has recently made it. And a couple of films that are going to be made. "The Social Network" killed many birds with one stone, and in addition to making a big promotion for its MB and F2F, it was also a huge success in its own right, not only at the box office. It also includes several Oscar nominations and three Oscar statuettes. Since the release of Fernando's "The Immortal Gardener", it has shown surprises, although it is not a big hit, but relative to expectations and costs. DD Pictures also made a lot of money, not to mention, the reputation of this film is quite good. Both Daniel and Rachel's performances were appreciated by all parties. Daniel is very likely to be nominated for the Oscar for the fourth time with this work, and for him, the significance of the fourth consecutive nomination is extraordinary, which means that his performance has made a breakthrough again, and it is a kind of glory that can hardly be hoped for by contemporaries, in addition, downloading the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is one of the most promising commercial series.

It can be said that each one is very eye-catching, and among the thousands of movies in Hollywood every year, there are very few such works.

In 2006, Daniel's plans included the musical biopic film "Unstoppable", which was named by the real protagonist, which was favored by quite a lot of people before filming started, especially the actors who needed to show their singing voices in the movie, whether it was Daniel or Reese. Witherspoon is very much expected, according to Daniel's "habit" of having an Olympic film every year, next year's "Unstoppable" is likely to be Daniel's Olympic work. Just this title, Daniel's Chong Olympics, is enough for everyone to express their attention.

"Gladiator", "The Pianist", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Social Network", ...... Each one is wonderful and can be called a classic of the times.

In addition to "Unstoppable", the third part of the "Spy" series will also start filming next year. Bourne has countless fans, and the previous Internet war with 007 Bond fans is also fresh in people's memories. In Daniel's fan base, he is probably only slightly inferior to Captain Jack and the Elven Prince. According to Disney's briefing, it seems that the third installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also going to be released in a row - although it now looks unlikely that filming will begin next year.

Therefore, it can be seen from these works how high the quality of the works starring Daniel himself is.

The fact that "Night at the Museum," a low-budget fantasy comedy, was able to appeal to Daniel may indicate that Daniel is very optimistic about the story - and in this sense, Fox only has a small stake, which does worry them a little. If he misses out on a blockbuster movie, McNicoe may be quite distressed.

Of course, many people are also speculating that Daniel's participation in "Museum" may not be the drunkard's intention to drink, but in "Avatar".

This super production, James. Cameron has been preparing for many years, and the filming of the actor will officially begin next year or the year after, and at this time, Daniel launched a tentative collaboration with Fox, which will inevitably make people take this into account. "Titanic" allowed Paramount at that time to take a piece of the oversized cake from Fox, and this time, many people became interested in "Avatar".

But fear is also there. James. Cameron is the most beloved but also the most hated director by investors – his work is enough to make investors unbelievable returns, but it also requires investors to take risks far beyond other projects.

No money, no money, need money, need more money!

Done? No, it's not halfway there!

No, I need money. Budget? Who can be sure of everything before they start something?

This is the conversation that actually happened between Cameron and Fox during the filming of "Titanic". Even a studio of Fox's size was almost completely dragged into the water.

So, it's no surprise that Daniel would be interested in Avatar.

But that's something Fox needs to think about, and it has nothing to do with other companies.

Disney's Robert, in a more harmonious conversation, suddenly mentioned a film "Youth Musical" that Disney is producing.

"To be honest, our TV and film department originally planned to produce a youth song and dance film, which is even similar to the story framework of "Youth Musical"." Robert obviously saw the synopsis of "Youth Musical" from the Screenwriters Guild's report. Daniel is certainly faster than Disney. This script was originally a TV movie made by Disney for its own children, but the response was very good, and it was put on the big screen, causing a whirlwind of singing and dancing.

Bright. Meyer, of course, didn't know anything about this, he only knew that Daniel had come up with the script, and after "Youth Musical", Channing, who was now filming "Magic Mike". Tatum will also star in another musical and dance film, "Dance Out of My Life." This may indicate that Daniel is very optimistic about the subject matter of song and dance, which is very different from "Chicago", the school, the youth, the song and dance - all young pop elements. The audience that the movie is targeting. Apparently young people.

Daniel believes this is also an area of potential that will be recovered. Meyer and Robert said that as the CEO of Disney, Robert is actually a step taller than everyone present, and the CEO of Disney Pictures should be Dick. Cook. But in addition to the film headquarters, Disney also has Miramax, animation division, etc., so in general. Dick and the other Big Six CEOs are hard to stand on the same level, after all, he doesn't control all of Disney's film and television divisions.

Robert also listened to the analysis of the television and film department. Of course, they are also optimistic about the subject, but it is only a vague attempt.

But Daniel's movements are more than just an intention, he clearly supports the theme of youth song and dance. Robert felt he should consider launching a similar movie, but might have to take another look.

He and Daniel. Sandler's relationship is still inevitably mediocre because of many events, and when they just collaborated on "Pirates of the Caribbean", he could talk to Daniel directly on the phone about this kind of problem. For example, ask Daniel why he is optimistic about the theme of song and dance, why he will become an audience born around 90 years old and love this theme, etc. But now, when he wanted to pick up his phone and dial that number, Robert didn't want to deceive himself, even one of Hollywood's most powerful CEOs, he wasn't sure if it would be Cusa who would answer the phone. Damon or Sally, Daniel's agent and work assistant.

That would not be a question to blame, and even if it was a personal phone, it would be difficult to say that it was in my hand at all times.

Daniel had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to tell Robert why the person who picked up his phone was not Daniel himself, but he would never say the truest one: Daniel didn't want to answer his phone and didn't want to communicate with him directly.

But this possibility would be unacceptable for Robert - he could not accept that his phone calls could be deliberately rejected.

This is where his dignity lies.

When Robert sits alone in the office, he also thinks about what he did to Daniel and DD Pictures.

Regret? I can't tell! But if he could know that everything was pointless, or simply know Daniel's relationship with Plutos Investments, he might change his strategy.

At the very least, be smarter. Messing up Daniel's relationship does have some impact on the rapport of the two sides.

In many cases, it seems that the relationship is good or bad, and it does not affect the cooperation, such as DD Pictures and Disney can work together on "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" without any trouble, Disney is willing to pay a record salary, and Daniel agrees to cooperate with Disney's various demands. But after the suspicion does arise, there will actually be a very obvious difference in some occasions and opportunities, to give a notable example, Daniel is digging Andrew. Stanton's time was unrelenting and unscrupulous, and the reason why this happened was because there was no rapport between DD and Disney.

Daniel's poaching is a matter of business.

Robert can be sure that if the relationship between Disney and DD had not been as cold as it is now, even if Daniel would still poach people, he would definitely try to gain his support - although Pixar does not belong to Disney now, but the characters who are the main players from Pixar must be explained to Disney.

……

Bright. Meyer became the central figure of the party, and it cannot be said that he has become the center of power in Hollywood, but at least, he has received the greatest popularity.

It's a stark contrast to Brad at the front.

All of this, as MPAA President Christopher A. What Dodd said, credit to the man who didn't come here, Daniel. Sandler!

Whether it's the frustrated Brad. Gray, still smug Lang. Meyer, and even Stasi, Robert and others, who watched Daniel become a legend, intuitively felt Daniel's power in Hollywood. Yes, after becoming a superstar of the symbols of this era, he managed to grab a place outside the spotlight.

A terrible person!

These "old people" who are more than twice the age of Daniel inevitably have different feelings in their hearts.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, but fortunately, they had already reached the elevator entrance.

……

In Lang. Meyer: While they were discussing Hollywood events, Daniel was typing on his computer in the study hall.

"How Texas Farmers Are Solving Their Own Dairy Sales Problems"

This is a case study provided by his instructor, who asked the students to use their business knowledge to help this Texas farmer sell his milk in a difficult situation, including falling milk prices, narrowing sales channels, poor transportation conditions, and increased competition.

It's a problem!

"Why didn't he sell his money-losing farm and invest it elsewhere?"

It's a team project, and it's Galio, a classmate from Daniel's group, who mutters on the sidelines.

Daniel glanced at him, "You can suggest that, maybe the mentor will give you an A when he sees it, because you think in an eclectic way." ”

The irony in this made the rest of the group laugh in a low voice. (To be continued......)
