Chapter 99: Golden Globe Award Nominations

The first more Daniel and his new PR Triver would never have imagined that the first topic of conversation between the two turned out to be Daniel's house.

Triver is right, many Hollywood stars go in and out of luxury cars, vacations are private islands, and going out on the street must be international brands, which is not all about private vanity and hobby enjoyment of the character, in some cases, if you take the commercial line, then these things mean that you still maintain the status and pomp of this line of stars - many stars will owe a lot of money once they are out of breath, and the reason is here, the earning power always comes down before the pomp, and when the stars realize that they can't pay these extravagant bills, It's been in debt for a long time.

Daniel thought carefully about Tricker's construction, and he still didn't think the timing was too right.

"Tricker, I think Andy or Melissa can go and help me look at it and pick some alternatives, but the news shouldn't get out right now," Daniel thought for a moment to describe his thoughts, "I mean, I'm still a nouveau riche in the mainstream film industry, and although Universal is willing to spend millions to ask me to shoot "Spy", it is undeniable that among middle-aged, conservative, so-called mainstream voices, I have only just entered their field of vision since the release of "Gladiator", If it comes out now, I'm buying a mansion—"

Triver already understood what Daniel meant.

Cusa wasted no time in agreeing.

"Actually, it's not a good time to change houses, from the perspective of CAA, the relationship between Daniel and CAA is a bit delicate at the moment, you know," Kusa was slightly embarrassed, "When I wasn't in Los Angeles, the CAA side was a little not very authentic, at least some of them were not very authentic, so Daniel and CAA were not very happy at that time, and they have not fully reconciled yet, and if Daniel wants to leave the house that CAA provided for him at this time, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary speculation." ”

Nodding, Trick said that he fully agreed with their concerns and opinions, and regardless of the conversation, he looked at Cusa, "Kusa, you know, although there is no news report, the insiders are still very curious about your sudden disappearance, can you tell me what you are doing?" ”

Trevor has the professionalism of a publicist – digging into a secret.

Of course, all Kusa can say is that there is something unexpected in his home.

"Okay, let's talk about changing houses later, we can look around through some safe channels, we can save a lot of money by preparing in advance, it should be appropriate to buy a house of two or three million, now good houses in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica are good choices for investment, didn't your accountant recommend it to you?"

"Don't mess with me and my staff, Terriver, you're a good publicist - lest the world be in chaos."

"Haha, don't say that, I'm just casually asking, okay, then let's get to the point," Triver straightened his expression, "All the union awards can do, now our main purpose should still be on the Golden Globes, there is not much time left, those reporters are already preparing to vote, 89 people, according to our previous grasp, the nomination should be no problem." Now the question is how to win this crucial trophy, unlike other awards, you may be the first time to operate the awards season, although the Golden Globes have received a lot of criticism, but they do have important value, at least in the eyes of ordinary audiences, all kinds of union awards, film critics awards are regarded as a warm-up for the Oscars, but the Golden Globes have a certain degree of independence, to put it bluntly, the Golden Globes themselves can increase the coffee position for you, a Golden Globe supporting actor can make Kusa add 500,000 or even 1 million when negotiating the price, This is not an exaggeration at all. ”

There are only so many legitimate ways to canvass for votes, such as giving away so-called souvenirs and giving away some humble opportunities for stakeholders, such as a reporter on the Golden Globes jury, and if his wife or daughter is an insider, then offering them an attractive contract is of course welcome - but this is a bit too blunt, but at the moment, there are not a few people who do this, and there is no one to manage it for the time being.

Daniel needs to be paid attention to at all times, but in fact, there are very few acts of direct involvement, because direct contact with the judges, of course, is a taboo thing, no one can tell what you are for, all it takes is a photo to completely discredit you.

So, while Triver and Cussa, and even Melissa and his father, Delack Sr., were busy with Daniel, he himself spent most of his time at home reading scripts, discussing the finished work with Robert Luctic, Doug Liman, and, of course, the occasional Peter Jackson. The first part of the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" was released at the end of 2001, and Daniel only received 70,000 US dollars for this movie, which can bring him, Kusa still does not recognize it.

Although the two of them spent countless efforts and means to get the role of Legolas, but from today's point of view, Kusa feels a little chicken, this is a role that has nothing to play, if Daniel really has a satisfactory harvest in the awards season, I am afraid that this not very important supporting role will also bring some negative effects, imagine that Daniel Sandler, who just won the best supporting actor, gave a vase performance, which will add a lot of work to Tree.

However, "Legally Blonde" is even earlier, and "Spy Shadow" is not a literary film, it seems that Daniel's drama is a serious commercial flow.

When Kusa thought of this, his whole body was horrified, this is a big problem, if it is listed, I am afraid that it will make the judges who have a bad feeling for commercial films give up Daniel.

This has to be discussed with Trick, it is best to choose another acting film next.

This information was quickly passed on to Daniel, so Daniel now has a lot of low-cost literary films in the script, and the salary for literary films, even if he wins an Oscar, the change will not be too big, basically the top day is about three million, after all, the budget is only so much, of course, the time will be short, which is a good thing.

According to his arrangement, he has to take a vacation for a while, according to the schedule, "Spy Shadow" will be released in June next year, and it will have to enter high-density publicity in May, "Legally Blonde" is mid-July, MGM already has some planning, Daniel took a look, it should be a good plan, but for Daniel, it is also a heavy task, he has to run at least several big cities, so after the release of "Spy Shadow", he has little time to rest.

After the release of "Pretty Woman", because it involved a small share, his accountant and team had to find time to pay attention to the box office, after all, there are too many things to operate on, although Daniel is not very worried, because if "Pretty Woman" is indeed a big hit, then there is no reason to kick him out in the sequel, which means that MGM is unlikely to default on his debts. But you have to know what you know, otherwise MGM can't say as much as you want.

After these things are done, "Lord of the Rings 1" is about to be released, and it seems that Daniel really doesn't have much time to make movies.

Not enough for a busy actor, this situation is not an uncommon thing, the most intuitive example, Matt Damon, according to the original world, he had to have several movies last year, "Ocean's Eleven", "Spy Shadow", "Soul Horse" and so on, and he is also making new movies - busy Cheng Dù, more than Daniel.

In fact, Daniel still admires Matt Damon, a young actor who is not weak in talent and hard work, and his achievements are worthy of his own efforts.

Unfortunately, Daniel is possessing a young man, not a prime of life, so he has to rob Russell Crowe and Brad Pitt of their chances.

……

The Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television held a nomination convention in Beverly Hills.

Steven Soderbergh is undoubtedly in the spotlight, with "Drug Network" and "Never Compromise" both nominated for Best Feature Film, and he himself nominated for Best Director, not the first time he has won this award during the awards season, and Soderbergh will move forward to the limelight on the list of Hollywood's biggest directors.

As strong as Soderbergh is his lead actress in "No Compromise" Julia Roberts, the actress who has barely missed any award nominations and is almost the most high-profile person of this year's awards season.

"Gladiator" is undoubtedly one of the biggest favorites for the Golden Globes, with five nominations along with "Drug Network", which overlaps very much, and the three heavyweight awards of Best Drama, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director are all where they collide, and Beniso unsurprisingly reported Best Supporting Actor instead of Best Actor at the Union Awards, which somewhat made the media ridicule. In addition, "Drug Network" won a supporting actress and best screenplay, while "Gladiator" won an actor nomination and best original music.

In contrast, "Gladiator" has a slight upper hand, but Steven's "Never Compromise" also has a nine-in-ten actress, a competitive supporting actor and best feature film, so although Soderbergh is the sum of the two films, "Gladiator" can't say that it has the advantage in any way.

Predictably, Daniel Sandler was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, with contenders including "award speculator" Benisol Delto, a nickname he had just given to him by the media, in recognition of his freedom to switch between leading actor and supporting actor, Albert Finney in "The Uncompromising", Jeff Bridges in "The Contender", and Willem Dafoe in "The Phantom of the Vampire".

According to the inside information that Trifer has worked so hard to get, and in fact it is also true, no one has a clear advantage, and the votes are relatively even.

"Something has to be done." Trick said to Daniel with a grim expression.
