Harvey soon went to greet the other guests, and Daniel saw Jerry Bruckheimer, who was surrounded by a lot of people, but Jerry motioned for him to come over, and Daniel and the other friends who greeted him gestured and walked towards Jerry.

"See you again, Jerry."

"Yes, introduce you to a few friends, you are all young people with great potential." Jerry looked at the young men around him, "Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and the beautiful Miss Kate Beckinsale. ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to bless you with Pearl Harbor first." Daniel knows that these are the starring groups of "Pearl Harbor", which is also the beginning of Affleck's golden plum road, "Pearl Harbor" invested 140 million, and the final North American box office was less than 200 million, and the global box office was about 400 million, and it received a lot of bad reviews, which can be called a Waterloo for the main creative team - of course, there are more than 400 million in the world, and they are still within the tolerance of the studio, and they will not collapse.

However, Michael Bay still had to continue his appeal with a sequel from a few years ago, Jedi Men 2, and of course, his unique directing style helped him get some big-budget films, and he was able to wait until "Transformers" made him one of Hollywood's most profitable directors.

Kate Beckinsale broke into Hollywood with this film, which can be regarded as achieving the set goal, Josh Hartnett has developed well, he is not the protagonist after all, and Affleck has started his series of unlucky journeys.

Daniel and Affleck are no strangers, he and Philip's team have faced each other several times, even if the opponent has started to die down recently, but Affleck certainly has no good impression of him. But on such a faction, even if there is a real hatred, you have to show a smiling face, not to mention the two who have no direct conflict.

"Your performance in 'Gladiator' was fantastic, but that's not good news for me." Josh winked his eyebrows and pretended to be frustrated, "Ridley doesn't like me right now. ”

"Haha, yes, do you need me to mediate? You can negotiate the price with my broker. ”

"You're such an economic savvy."

After a few jokes with Josh, Josh finally won "Black Hawk Down", facing Daniel, who had been involved, of course, he had the intention of befriending each other.

Kate Beckinsale doesn't seem particularly comfortable with Hollywood's warm traditions.

Standing on the side, of course, she couldn't be called cramped, but she didn't deliberately express her intentions.

Mostly Daniel and Jerry are talking, Affleck goes somewhere else, and Daniel sees him approaching Juliette Binoche, half of today's master - the heroine of "Chocolate".

I slipped into the eye and saw Johnny Depp, and the two raised their glasses like old friends.

Speaking of which, they are indeed "old friends", at least Daniel has not known so many big names when he was in USC, and he has already dealt with Depp.

It's just that Daniel was still a little surprised to see Depp coming over.

"I'll leave for a moment."

Jerry motioned for Daniel to be casual, and apparently Depp came over and saw it too.

……

"Congratulations." Depp touched him with a cup, "To be honest, when Tracy told me that she was going to sign a newcomer, I really couldn't have imagined that in less than two years, this newcomer would have been nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar, otherwise I would have to convince her that she can't let go." ”

This is nonsense.

Daniel knows the ins and outs of the matter, but he doesn't know if Depp knows it - knowing that he understands that it was because of Depp's interference that he gave up Tracy, if the answer is no, then Depp's appearance today is quite normal, and it seems that he and Daniel have no vendettas.

"You should be able to predict the future, otherwise of course I wouldn't be so sad, you know, after rejecting Tracy, I felt like I should give up my career as an actor." Daniel smiled, "However, there are so many good movies, including your 'Edward', that really fascinated me, and they made me stick with it." ”

"I'm glad and honored."

Depp raised his glass and touched Daniel, then moved somewhere else, and saw that the "character" actor was comfortable in the crowd, Daniel had to shrug his shoulders, and once again reinforced a certain perception - Hollywood stars' acting skills are generally more significant in life.

As far as you can see, there are indeed quite a few big people, although this kind of pie is hosted by Miramax, but after the scale is expanded, studios or practitioners with other demands will also join in, and the pie duì will become a platform, and the organizer has some advantages, such as joining a conversation at will as a host, but it is not the only interested party.

"Huh?"

Daniel saw a raunchy director, somewhat familiar, and the one standing next to him was even more familiar, Donna Langley of Universal Pictures, who now seemed to be the head of the North American production department.

As if aware of Daniel's eyes, Donna waved at him and whispered to the person next to her.

"Donna, long time no see." Donna was not responsible for the promotion of "Gladiator", and they didn't have a deep friendship between them.

But Donna was still very enthusiastic, "Daniel, congratulations. By the way, I'll introduce you, this is Gore, the director. ”

Gore Wibinski!

This low-key and inviolable director of private space is the one Daniel has always wanted to get in touch with but lacked the right opportunity.

Director of Pirates of the Caribbean!

Daniel assured that Jerry had not yet contacted Gore, and no one knew that Gore would work with Jerry to make a live-action movie for Miramax's parent company, Walt Disney, after "Midnight Bells", except for Daniel.

"Gore, that Skittles commercial is so creative, I'm going to watch 'Dangerous Lover', and to be honest, I'm a little worried about you."

Daniel changed his style and was more enthusiastic about a whimsical otaku like Gore, and it would be easier to form friendships with them - in general, such people don't know how to refuse other people's enthusiasm.

"Oh, thank you."

Daniel's familiarity with Gore was obviously a surprise to him, but it was easy to see that he was pleasant to be complimented.

"Congratulations, Sandler—"

"Daniel, or Danny, you name me." Daniel shook the wine in his glass, "If I can win the award, I will be glad to get your congratulations." ”

"Of course, of course, I will, haha." Gore was clearly willing to continue the conversation, "To be honest, I'm also worried, I've never directed such a big production, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts are as big stars as you, you know, very rare. ”

"It's hard to do, isn't it?" Daniel winked at him, signaling that he understood.
