Chapter 240: Daniel's Age
"It's been a long time since we've been this serious, Daniel, and we hope to see you on The Tonight Show soon."
"I'll definitely come back until you retire."
Before the end, they contributed the final paragraph. The short advertising time allowed Daniel to meet with Arnold, who was on standby.
Arnold had previously tried to get Daniel to play certain roles in his campaign. However, Daniel politely declined, and it was still a little awkward to meet now.
"Don't be surprised when you go back to watch the show." Daniel quickly changed the slightest discomfort in his heart, smiled and high-fived Arnold, "Have a drink together when you have time." ”
……
This episode of "The Tonight Show" received nearly 7 million viewers, with 4.3% of people aged 18 to 49 accounting for the rating, while "Pirates of the Caribbean" hit the 200 million mark at the box office, three days earlier than predicted.
This is Daniel's sixth North American box office of more than 200 million after "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers", "Spy", "Greek Wedding" and "Impostor", and it can be predicted that the sequels to "Return of the King", "Spy 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" will all be seeded players who break 200 million to 300 million.
This is unique among all Hollywood actors.
On the cover of the August issue of Vanity Fair magazine, Daniel is on the throne, with his right hand slightly raised, and his eyes looking straight ahead, his eyes are sharp and unstoppable.
In bold letters on the cover: Daniel's era!
Vanity Fair was the first prestigious media outlet to deliver the crown to Daniel's head. At one point, Daniel's team is at odds over this, and Trick believes that the plan should be accepted, but Sally disagrees, and even Deshar, a less involved life assistant, disagrees.
She didn't think it was necessary for Daniel to crown himself so early, which would cause trouble and a lot of pressure on his future work.
People's requirements for a young global idol are different from those of a king of the times.
As an example, even though the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Lifetime Achievement Award is very rare and very noble, Daniel himself is definitely not willing to accept the award at this time.
That means your peak is over. You are condemned to lie down in the glory of the past and be worshipped.
Despite the differences in the team, Daniel's most important opinion came from Kusa. Damon, he supports that.
"Nothing bad, especially when Daniel is about to start resting. Carter of Vanity Fair is not that dumb, he will not give this glory cheaply. He is willing to come up with this plan, just to see that Daniel will temporarily leave the entertainment industry at the peak of the limelight, so that even if there is controversy. After a period of buffering, it will naturally become a review label. And seriously, I don't think it's as serious as you think, you know, it's not the same as the Oscars, it's just from a magazine cover. ”
Raising his eyes and scanning the audience, Kusa said word by word.
"Within three years, 10 broke 100 million, 6 broke 200 million, and 3 broke 300 million. 1 broke 400 million, such an achievement, who can compare with Daniel? "Vanity Fair" called this his time, why not? We don't have to feel weak about this, it's the honor and achievement that belongs to Daniel, yes, that's it! This is what Daniel deserves, and it is what we deserve. Triver is right that from this day forward, we should call ourselves by that name. ”
Kusa finished. Everyone fell silent.
They were convinced, which is why the August issue of Vanity Fair ended up in this guise.
……
"Daniel's time?"
Holding the latest Vanity Fair magazine, Robert . Iger smiled.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" gave him a big surprise, and now it seems that the North American box office alone will almost be able to recoup its investment. At present, it will not be a problem for "Pirates" to break through 320 million, the real question is whether it will surpass Disney's own "Finding Nemo" and become the first place in the annual box office list.
According to the current trend, it will exceed 340 million. It's not impossible.
As long as "Finding Nemo" is killed, the only opponent of "Pirates" is "Return of the King", which will be released at the end of the year, the last part of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", the restless Weinstein, New Line, Warner, MGM, it is tied to a super-large interest group behind it, as the last one, it should be given to it this year.
If "Pirates of the Caribbean" can really beat "Finding Nemo" and hold the ranking under the offensive of "Return of the King", then Disney's attempt will be a big victory - his authority and trust in the Disney board of directors will also reach the highest point.
This was crucial for Robert to then get Disney to run the way he wanted it to.
I have to say that he can't stand the idiots on the board.
Although they don't interfere in the day-to-day running of the company, it is true that the heads of various departments are secretly colluding - which is certainly a good thing when he was not yet CEO, which is the replacement for Michael Murphy. Eisner provided a channel through which he was able to gain board recognition.
But now, as CEO, he hates the people under him and the board of directors for influencing the company's operations.
Including Disney Pictures' Dick. Cook, Eisner's departure did not shake his position, which is inseparable from the fact that there are people on the board of directors who support him.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" will be his latest bargaining chip, and Rob nodded the domineering Daniel on the cover of "Vanity Fair", "This is your time. ”
"Lisen, get in touch with ABC."
……
The response to the magazine surprised many people.
It wasn't just the reaction itself, but the fact that there was nothing to refute when Vanity Fair's list of achievements was clearly written on the inside pages of the magazine.
Box office: One broke 400 million, three broke 300 million, and "Pirates" and "The Return of the King" are very likely to rewrite this data.
Awards: Oscars, Golden Globes, New York Film Critics, Los Angeles Film Critics, People's Choice Awards, British Film and Art Awards, Cannes International Film Festival, it can be said that the honor is equal to the honor.
Influence: Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, invited guest of the White House Correspondents' Association Gala Dinner, Honorary Chairman of the Anti-War and Peace Committee of the Alliance for Equal Rights, Honorary Chairman of the Science and Technology for All Foundation, world-renowned actor, peace person, and account with the largest number of followers on social media MB.
All the people who saw this couldn't say anything but swallow their own saliva.
Among the stubborn, it can only be said that Daniel is still too young to see future achievements.
But once asked, "Will these achievements disappear with time?" They were speechless.
The acquiescence of traditional media, the Internet, and the comments of authoritative figures allowed Daniel to truly establish his achievements in the past four years before leaving Hollywood temporarily, and he was truly recognized. This line is also bolded in his free Wikipedia entry.
"Vanity Fair magazine called the 21st century to the present day Daniel's era to praise his amazing achievements and influence."
……
"Biography?"
When Daniel heard the news, he couldn't stop laughing.
Writing biographies is something that many Americans, especially accomplished Americans, love to do. If you can write it yourself, then it's best to find a publisher to print a few hundred copies, and then find some occasion to promote it, and you can be considered a person with a personal biography. Many people are willing to use this to leave their influence behind the time after they have passed.
But even so, Daniel was still shocked by the proposal.
"Robert. Mr. Slater, who has several best-selling books, has previously written about the former CEO of General Motors, Jack. Welch's recipe for success. ”
Sally had clearly done her homework.
"What is he going to write?"
"That's his creative intention."
Sally handed over a piece of paper, on which about half a page was written, apparently a very brief expression of intent.
"This will be a 'Bible' that inspires young people in the United States and around the world, and it will tell everyone the truth that if you haven't succeeded, you haven't found your place yet." This book will call on young people to stop being conformist and focus on the usual good professions such as financial investment banking, law firms, private clinics, etc. They will be inspired the confidence and ambition to pursue their dreams and values. …… I'll take Daniel. Sandler's success, defined as the American dream of the New World...... This is bound to become a new trend led by Americans. ”
Soon, Daniel read through it.
"Very demagogic."
"But?"
Daniel laughed, "Yes, there is but, but I will not accept this offer, my authorized biography, it will not be now, maybe it will not be until decades from now, when people have known me in depth, all the things I have done, the highest I can achieve, I will resort to pen and paper and tell people in the future, Daniel. Who Sandler was, what he did, and what it all changed. Now, it's not the time. ”
Sally didn't know what Daniel was thinking, but she felt that Daniel would at least want his business accomplishments to be known before considering the biography.
"So, I helped you refuse?"
"Yes, thank him for me, and tell him that if I had this plan, I would ask him to write it."
"Is this true?"
"If he lived to that time, it would be the truth, otherwise, who would say that I lied." (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of aooweho2009.
I originally wanted to write another Renault show, so I gave the name of the previous chapter, but I thought about it
