Chapter 112 Horror Movie? Romance films? Daniel's deliberate approach did make it easy for him to gain Gore's favor - this kind of deliberate curry favor that does not involve interests is invincible in Hollywood, because no one knows who is the one who has to ask for it in the end.

According to the plan, Jerry decided on the project, then the script, then the director, and it was probably not until early next year that Gore could be found. Daniel didn't know what ultimately moved Bruckheimer, so he decided to use Gore Wibinski, who finished filming "Midnight Bells". But there is no doubt that Daniel's overture today would never have been seen as an attempt at Pirates of the Caribbean, and who could have predicted that? No one.

In the second half of Pai Duì, Harvey took Daniel to meet with many senior actors, cinematographers, editors, film critics, etc., all of whom share a close relationship with the Oscar judges, or they themselves are, so they have a strong influence on some of the judges.

"Daniel, do you need me to give you a movie ticket?"

Gore reminded Daniel to go to see "Dangerous Lover" when he said goodbye, and the two seem to be good friends, at least the media can already write reports in that way, and Gore Wibinski's friend Daniel Sandler went to the theater to support .......

"Even though I'm poor, I'm going to squeeze out a movie ticket anyway, even if I'm hungry."

Gore gestured to the phone and got into his half-new Ford.

Daniel turned to Harvey Weinstein and hugged Harvey Weinstein, who came over to say goodbye, "Thank you, Harvey. ”

"Don't do this, I hope it ends well."

"Yes."

……

"Gore, although I have good things to say about you, let me tell you something real, Brad and Julia are indeed beautiful sparks, and I think Brad only has sparks with men."

A few days after the film was released, the box office was not ideal.

Daniel traveled to the Los Angeles theater to support the film, and was also filmed by the media, although he responded by saying "very good, the story is wonderful", but it was really lethargic to watch.

"We spent too much budget to pay them both," Gore complained to Daniel on the phone, knowing that the film didn't end well, "Brad wasn't funny at all, Julia looked a little silly, I didn't understand why I was invited to play them, and when I was asked to direct, I didn't say I wanted to be a big star." ”

Daniel could realize that Gore Wibinski was complaining.

The addition of Brad and Julia did ruin the film, and the script of the film was actually quite good, but the addition of these two not only failed to increase the box office with their appeal, but also hindered Gore's creation and character building.

"The next time I make a movie, I will definitely insist on choosing the right protagonist."

"Of course, remember to look for me next time you make a movie."

This amused Gore, "Yes, Daniel, do you know the Midnight Bell?" ”

"You mean that Japanese horror movie?"

"yes, I'm going to remake it, how about it, are you interested?"

Daniel was stunned, he really didn't expect Gore to be such a willful guy, and he immediately lost a movie when he said that he cooperated.

"Are you serious? Gore. ”

"Of course, to be honest, the investment in this film is not small, but it is only a remake, and it is impossible to win any awards."

Daniel asks Gore to send him the script, and he decides to read it before replying to him.

He understands that the box office of "The American Version of Midnight Bell" is not low, but he seems to remember that this movie is from the perspective of the heroine, whether it is necessary to make such a movie again, Daniel is a little hesitant.

……

"Why do you look at this film differently?"

Kusa flipped through the script sent by Gore, it was a wonderful horror movie, but to be honest, it didn't do much to Daniel.

Daniel can't tell Sù Kusa that Gore Wibinski will be directing Pirates of the Caribbean, and he doesn't want to miss it.

"I just think it's good to be exposed to some new genres, isn't it?"

"Your acting path is broad enough." Cussa's eyes looked like a playful child, "Fat rugby player, ancient Roman emperor, makeover lawyer, super agent, yes, a fake elf prince, and now a World War II pianist." ”

Daniel was speechless, and being too good was also a problem.

"So, you don't approve of it, do you?"

"Of course, if you're willing to find time to make a new movie, you might as well make this." Kusa handed over a script, "Tom Hanks' IFC handed over." ”

Daniel turned the first page.

"Five million?"

It's been a long time since Daniel has seen a film with such a small investment.

"Are you kidding, Kusa?"

"No, Daniel, I'm talking to Rita Wilson, oh, she's Hanks' wife, and this script is an autobiographical story of a Greek-Canadian woman, and Rita is also of Greek descent."

"So, Tom threw five million for her to play with?"

"The script is good, it's interesting, and although the author asked for self-directing and acting to make the project full of risks, it's still worth the investment."

"Investment?"

Daniel finally got serious and stopped talking to Cusa.

"David doesn't have the ability to make a film on his own after investing in Blogger, but if he insists on doing this, this is a good opportunity, and you have this condition now, and Rita agrees with you to join the investment ranks, five million, so that you can enlarge the budget to ten million."

"How much are they going to pay me?"

Kusa held up a finger, "A million? ”

"Uh......"

"One hundred thousand?"

Cusa still didn't nod.

"It can't be 10,000, right? Oh my God, I had $10,000 on "School Blues." ”

"No, the ten point share, the box office share, not the surplus."

"Equal to a million investments?" Daniel tilted his head and thought about it, thinking that the price was still low.

Kusa Damon was disgusted by Daniel's behavior of limiting the speed of his brain today, "Five million is the investment limit, IFC can't agree to you becoming a big investor, the share is calculated separately." ”

Daniel stuck out his tongue when he saw Kusa's frantic look.

"The script is kind of familiar."

"Huh? Have you seen it? Nia Vadalas once made it into a one-man show, and you may have seen some comments on the Internet. ”

"Greek wedding?"

The large bold letters printed on the outside of the script stirred Daniel's memory.

Greece, Wedding, Nia Vadalas......

Daniel's eyes suddenly opened wide, wide.

He can't remember the specifics of this film, but he sporadically remembers that it has a title: the highest-grossing romantic comedy in North American film history!

"Take it and do as you just said, I don't have any opinion."

Daniel's 180-degree turn surprised Kusa inexplicably, and although Daniel's idiocy was not his usual level, Daniel's decision was made so quickly, and it involved an investment of five million and a very risky way of paying for it, Daniel's decision was in any case rushed.

"Should I ask Davy?"

"If he doesn't agree, we can invest it ourselves, five million, and we can put it together, or we can take out a loan, and we won't be able to make it up. So decided, Kusa, you do your best to finalize this cooperation. ”

"He's planning to start filming in Canada after the Oscars, and you're okay with that?"

Daniel thought for a moment and replied in the affirmative.

(The filming schedule of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has been adjusted, thank you for your support, the whole month of naked running has had a bigger impact on me than I thought...... Shame, the book may not have a chance to be on the shelves, and it can be regarded as letting go of an obsession. ）
