"Sissy fans, are you getting too complacent, and don't forget that the first day of Revenge of the Sith is Thursday, not the traditional Friday - a lot of people have to work the next day, so they don't go to the movies on their first night." - "Han".

"135 million in three days, 159 million in four days in "Sith", who wins and who loses is not certain?" - "Star Wars Tom".

"Dirty pirate ship, to be proud, you must at least surpass the box office of the Star Wars series, right? Listen, "The Phantom Menace", 470 million in North America, 1.027 billion worldwide. Oh, by the way, this is from 7 years ago. - "Liam, I love you".

The captain's fans were triumphant, and sure enough, they soon ushered in the counterattack of Star Wars fans.

According to the current North American box office rankings, there are two Star Wars in the top ten, 1999's "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace", with a box office of 470 million, second only to James Cameron's god film "Titanic", Big Ship won 658 million, which is indeed a terrifying number. In addition, the first Star Wars "Star Wars" in 1977 followed closely behind, ranking third, with a box office of 460 million.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it should be ranked in the top three, if it weren't for Cameron's too rebelliousness, this series would obviously be enough to dominate the box office market, and it is enough to show how much appeal and fan base the "Star Wars" series has.

However, captain fans seem to know the truth that the enemy is strong and we are weak, on the one hand, it is a bluff that "Pirate 2" has not yet been released, and any record may be broken. on the other hand, it caught some Star Wars fans directly attacking the actors.

"Daniel, who likes to put on a show, played a sissy, and he didn't want to compare himself with "Star Wars", which is simply laughable and disgusting."

Most of the Captain fans are Daniel fans. But Daniel's fans are more than just captain fans.

Lord of the Rings fans, spy fans, and a whole host of other hits, as well as Daniel's personal fans, can be said to be overwhelming. The fans of a series of movies may be incomparably huge, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, many times it is not as good as a popular superstar, if it is an ordinary big star. Star Wars fans may be able to suppress them by numbers - but this time they're up against Daniel. Sandler.

Daniel's history and the rapid development of the Internet public opinion field are almost synchronous - every step of his success is closely related to the Internet, whether it is the first time he is known, the first person to try the taste of popularity, the first time to invest in the production of a 400 million-level phenomenal box office blockbuster, the first time to become a billionaire - all of these are closely related to the Internet.

In the vast majority of the Internet selections he has participated in, Daniel is always number one!

Some experts have even exaggerated the call of Daniel "the totem of the American Internet in the 21st century", which shows what kind of influence he has on the Internet -- he has maintained a good personal image for many years, and this huge support force is also closely related.

Therefore. After some of Daniel's fans joined the debate, the controversy died down sooner than expected.

Star Wars fans are timid, Captain fans are interesting, Daniel's fans are unwilling to be used as guns, and at the same time, they don't want their idols to be attacked - so the three-way strike is also expected.

……

"Look, I've got a whole bunch of naysayers."

After listening to Sally report to him about the recent online trend, Daniel shook his head. sighed.

"There's nothing wrong with that, naysayers, supporters. It's all part of the influence, and those who are naysayers are also contributors to the box office of "The Captain," and they want to know how bad you are – or they'll lose their voice in the tide that attacks you. ”

"It sounds like I'm great, sacrificing my image to help Disney make money."

Sally pouted. The current trend of "Pirate 2" is that the North American box office alone may get back the investment - the rest of the global box office, as well as various other profit windows, will be a complete net profit - a net profit of more than 100 million yuan can be expected. In this way, Daniel still has to blame Disney for his little effort. It really made Sally not know what to say.

She came to report to Daniel on the release of "Magic Mike", a week after "Pirates 2", "Magic Mike" was released on July 11, opening 2,904 screens, arguably the fewest of several works - in the aftermath of blockbusters, it is already the result of the hard work of MGM's distributors.

Fortunately, the result of 32.29 million in the first weekend did not live up to the film schedule, of course, it is impossible to have a big surprise, but this result can be regarded as the best among the song and dance films, which helped "Magic Mike" maintain the scale of the film schedule, but "Racing", which is basically at the end, is likely to bite off dozens of dollars to harvest the final box office.

"Magic Mike" is also the last work that DD and MGM will launch in the summer, and as part of the MGM frenzy, it has fulfilled its mission well.

And, a little, Chanin. Tatum gets attention from Bizak. Efron was much more - he soon became the number one on the IMDB cast list as well. Because of the big jump in the movie. Tatum, who dances in clothes, is indeed too charming. The muscles of the box office are even more coveted - Daniel believes that by the time he starts "Magic Mike 2", Tatum's worth will have a big leap, and a budget of 7 million will no longer be possible.

Yes, compared to "Youth Musical" and "Bad Teacher", "Magic Mike" has a lower budget, so it is normal for it to be slightly lower at the box office.

Daniel doesn't pay much attention to Magic Mike, on the one hand, it's true that he is too busy, and on the other hand, he also needs to selectively support some works. MGM and DD, at this stage, there are 10 works a year, he can't be busy all the time, from casting to production, from publicity to release, from distribution to box office, if he pays attention to everything, sooner or later it will collapse, and the group of professionals he hired should also be fired.

Nodding his head, "Mike" seems to be a little lower than the box office of the original, but it is about the same, and in such fierce competition, it is satisfying to have this result.

"Paramount has informed Mel?"

"Yes, after all, it's been six months, Mel has lost her patience, and there are not many people who come to the door, she doesn't have to leave it to Paramount." Sally flipped to the back page, and Daniel had his eye on a new IP. However, similar to The Da Vinci Code, the well-known novel has a lot of competitors, and even before Melissa can get his hands on it, Mel and Paramount have reached a preliminary agreement.

So much so that Daniel has been "worried" waiting for the results on Paramount's side - not even daring to show a hint of intention in advance, if Paramount knows that DD, especially Daniel himself has high hopes for it, I am afraid that it is likely to change his decision - it will not cost much to buy the rights.

"Da. Although Columbia kept silent about the final price of "The Finch Code", Daniel learned that it would not exceed 8 million - for Paramount, 8 million is not a number to hesitate about, even if it is to buy Daniel's eyes, it is worth trying.

"Contact her right away, I'll see her in Phoenix tomorrow and get Melissa with me."

"You're going in person?"

"Yes, the result of the procrastination is "Da. The Finch Code" if I smashed it to Dan at the time. Brown 8 million, I'm sure he'll consider transferring it directly to me, even if it's 10 million. It's also better than being filmed like this by Colombia now. ”

If this is heard by others, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar.

Bright. Directed by Howard, Tom Brown. Starring Hanks, Columbia cost 130 million US dollars, 220 million at the North American box office, and more than 700 million worldwide - this cast and results, but Daniel disdained it.

Daniel's image of humility may have changed.

Sally wasn't going to confront Daniel with the data, she just nodded.

"Will it make her look forward to better conditions and opportunities?"

"After Paramount refused to shoot?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Sally must admit that this was a good opportunity.

……

Jason. Reitman, sitting behind the famous man across from Daniel, and Gore. Wibinski, like him, was an excellent advertising director before he ventured into film.

However, so far, he has not had a mainstream work that can be said to be reasonable.

So obviously, even though he was already sitting in front of Daniel, he was still a little out of shape.

Daniel, on the other hand, was only three years older than the young man in front of him — yes, much younger than most of the directors with whom Daniel had interacted. Moreover, he is still a handsome guy, very handsome.

If Daniel was choosing actors for the new production, no one would be surprised.

Unfortunately, it turned out that this was not the case, and he approached Jason for the purpose of directing a girl-themed film, and Daniel once again used his whimsical abilities - no one questioned him, but everyone was curious about whether the director, who has won many independent film awards, can live up to Daniel's vision.

"What do you think of the script?"

"Uh," Jason said with a big tongue, "great, I mean—"

"Hey buddy, don't do this, I know you're very talented, I've also watched your "Thank You for Smoking", do you smoke?"

"Oh no!"

Daniel looked at him dumbfounded, and suddenly burst out laughing, and then Jason laughed too, and now he felt much more relaxed.

"Yes, I read the script, it's interesting, but you want to present it in a comedic way, teenage pregnancy, such a subject, few people think it will be a happy experience, of course, I am very honored to be able to direct a work like this."

When sending in the script, Daniel, of course, briefly explained why he had come to him because he had seen Jason's "Thank You for Smoking" and admired his ability to turn bad things into comedy, modern, casual and amazing.

"I think Juno is glad that you're telling her story, if any." (To be continued.) )
