"Wall-E" was officially released on December 23, and the movies released the day before Christmas Eve included it, with four works, among which "Munich" jointly launched by Universal and DreamWorks also attracted much attention. Craig also contributed a lot to the popularity of the movie. against him starring James. Bond's momentum continues unabated, websites, organizations, protests, calls, etc., activities are simply diverse and blooming everywhere, so I don't know whether this kind of popularity is a good thing or a bad thing for the world. Fox's comedy "Playing Pig and Eating Tiger" is quite weak, 1853 screens, which can only be said to be in line with its small and medium-cost treatment, and the theater chain, and even Fox's distribution department, do not think that this movie can get better treatment, after all, not every small-budget comedy is "Greek Wedding" and "Hangover".

On the old film, Disney's 200 million "The Chronicles of Narnia" is still strong, which is also the biggest rival of "Wall-E", although it has been released for 2 weeks, Daniel can guarantee that if "Wall-E" does not perform as expected, it "temporarily" took the schedule from "The Chronicles of Narnia" will soon be returned, and it may even be upside down a few screens. In addition to this, Weta Digital Productions, Peter. Jackson's new work "King Kong" has been in theaters for 10 days, and has been struggling to support under the pressure of "The Chronicles of Narnia", and the box office has accumulated to 95 million, compared with the cost of more than 200 million, it is not a good performance, Universal's expectations for this film are quite high, and the budget of 200 million is also Universal's highest investment in recent years - unfortunately, the box office is not satisfactory. At the beginning, Peter wanted Weta Digital to participate in the investment, and even invited DD Pictures to enter together, but Daniel refused, and now the effect can be seen, Weta didn't make much money from this vote, but it won't be lost, and Universal Pictures may not be able to say. It also depends on the overseas box office and other aspects of income. Gold. Carrey's "New Money Grabbing Couple", which was released for two days, had a box office of only 7.5 million, although the market has always been cold before the Christmas holiday, but this number is indeed a bit low.

Of course, all these films intended for Christmas are expected to perform in the coming period, and the current numbers will not be of particular interest.

In fact, the Christmas holiday in the United States is only one day to one and a half days, usually the 24th half day and the 25th full day, and this year it falls on Sunday. But many people are accustomed to taking annual leave at this time, so the annual Christmas schedule has been formed, which has become a place for studios to compete for. In addition to the purpose of the Christmas schedule, cartoons such as "Wall-E" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" are more important to value the winter vacation of students, including Christmas and New Year's Day, nearly a month, which is of course second only to the summer season for cartoons.

"Wall-E" hit the shelves with 4,122 screens, surpassing "The Chronicles of Narnia" with 3,742. Won the first place in the film schedule. The first day's score of 23.16 million far exceeded the lack of stamina of "The Chronicles of Narnia", which ranked second with 7.93 million, only 100,000 more than "King Kong". Status is shaky.

As soon as the box office came out on the first day, "Variety" announced that "Wall-E" became the biggest beneficiary of the annual Christmas schedule.

“…… There is no doubt that "Vali", which brings all the expectations of DD Animation, will be the best player in this year's Christmas schedule. Its biggest rival, The Chronicles of Narnia, was released two weeks ago, and when it faced the onslaught of "Wall-E", it clearly lacked the motivation and persistence to fight. WALL-E's IMDB rating stands solid at 9.3. It's also a lot higher than Narnia...... We should be able to announce in advance that DD Animation's first animated feature film was a success. ”

After rejecting all requests for interviews that "came as promised", Disney released a painless statement on its official website.

"We congratulate Wal-E on its first day of results—"

"We believe that the quality and popularity of The Chronicles of Narnia has been validated by fans and the market, and it is undoubtedly a successful and excellent work, and we congratulate and thank everyone involved in this production-"

"The Christmas holidays are still going on, and we sincerely hope that fans who have not yet watched The Chronicles of Narnia will be able to enter the cinema to watch this production, and we guarantee that this production, which has taken many years and has invested a lot, will not be inferior to any other production, and will not disappoint you-"

"Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for their support and concern for Disney, and we will continue to uphold the tradition of Disney Animation and continue to produce high-quality animation works."

This not-so-clear statement can easily be interpreted into a variety of intentions, but in Daniel's view, Disney does not have the meaning of what the media said, although they have refused to comment on similar interpretations, only to indicate that Disney's attitude is in the statement that has been issued, and will not be expressed otherwise.

"Old Iger doesn't think it's going to be easy."

Because of the release of "Vali", Daniel's team did not take a holiday, and even Daniel himself, because he was in a gap this year, two ex-girlfriends and a rumored girlfriend who had a spring breeze all got married. Alba doesn't say, whether it's a partner or a **, in the past few years, it has been like a marquee, on the one hand, there is no shortage of men - this is the truth, how can there be a lack of men at an age like a wolf and a tiger. On the other hand, I have been trying to break through the current predicament, selling my face and body can't be sold for a lifetime, and I have been on the list of various goddesses over the years, similar to Amanda. Seyfried's rising stars have gradually occupied half of the country, Jessica's half-red and non-purple status is no longer very stable, she has to find some Wall Street Xiaokai to bless herself, other similar to Spanish stars, Hollywood actors, football captains, etc., the richness of love history is not comparable to Daniel.

Collins. Porsh also sparked a spark of love with a young handsome man in the company not long ago, and the media also paid attention to it, after all, she was Daniel's last girlfriend, especially now that Daniel is still single and empty, some people are willing to watch the news such as Daniel's new love for Collins. Daniel's news was not known from the media, but Collins personally told him, that gentleman was originally Collins's assistant, and then that's what - because when he was Collins' assistant, Collins and Daniel were still in a relationship, so her phone call was somewhat explained. Daniel didn't think Collins had put a hat on him, and the man certainly wasn't interested in Collins for a day or two. But Collins considered whether to accept it after they ended their relationship, and after they had been together for so long, Daniel still had this discernment. Now that their business partners extend to life, Daniel is of course still blessed, but he also discussed with Collins sincerely, whether it is himself or Collins, he should spend more energy on managing the relationship, otherwise even if it is a work partner, being together every day, I am afraid that in the end it may not necessarily have a good result.

As for Natalie. Portman. It can only be said that history cannot be reversed, Benjamin. Mipayer still chased the goddess into his hands, but fortunately he didn't know that Natalie and Daniel were in the crew's one-night fish-and-dragon dance, otherwise I'm afraid there would be some turmoil in this relationship. When Miller heard the news, his face was quite exciting, he looked at Daniel, and was in a daze for a moment before he could be relieved. Daniel reckoned he was roaring in his heart: "The people in your circle really know how to play." Daniel doesn't quite know about his unexpected affair with Natalie. Whether or not it was a reason for Natalie to accept Benjamin.

Out of some dark thoughts of the boss, anyway, except for leaving work two hours early on Christmas Eve, everyone consciously and voluntarily went to work in the company.

"The Endless Gardener" and "Saw 2" are still in theaters, and the box office of the former is more than one million a day. The battery life looks quite good, the total box office has exceeded 80 million, and it is destined to be impossible to exceed 100 million in North America, and the Christmas schedule is coming. It's basically down after the first three days. But relative to investment, of course, it still makes a lot of money, not to mention. Its performance in Europe and Africa is very eye-catching, and the global box office has already exceeded 100 million. The latter has come to an end, the survival period of horror films is already short, "Chainsaw 2" North American record of 182 million is enough to be proud of most similar films, although the evaluation has fallen compared to the amazing first part, but the difference is not much, and the third part next year is still quite expected.

In addition to these two films, "Wall-E" is newly released, and there is a lot of work. Everyone was busy, and the Christmas schedule passed, and they didn't notice it.

When "Wall-E" officially broke 100 million on the 28th, and the whole Hollywood was excited about it, the entire DD team realized that most of the Christmas holiday had passed, and their annual leave had actually been taken, after all, the release time of the three films was determined very early, and it was not news that the end of the year was very busy.

At this time, Daniel has returned to the Caribbean to complete the filming of the last part of "Pirates 2", this time until around the time of the Golden Globe awards, and if it goes well, he can also rush back to serve Theo. Kingmar made a come, but overall it was unlikely.

In the previously announced list of Golden Globe nominees, Daniel was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Category There are not many surprises, in fact, this year's Golden Globe Awards are quite solid, whether it is Russell of "Iron Fist Man". Crowe, or Philip of "Capote". Hoffman was pre-empted as an awards season favourite. In addition, "The Immortal Gardener" was also shortlisted for Best Picture in a Drama, Best Supporting Actress and Best Director, with four heavyweight nominations second only to "Brokeback Mountain" with seven, sweeping away the decline of Venice and regaining its position as the top seed for the awards season.

Daniel's actor is still the favorite to be nominated, and there is not much discussion about the freezing point of the award, and the only one is also concerned about whether he can continue to be nominated for the Oscar, to see if the Golden Globe Awards can add some chips for him to be nominated for the Oscar for the fourth consecutive year. The most likely winner is, of course, playing Truman. Capote is the Saga of Philip. Hoffman, a stunning appearance of the old drama bone, was enough to win him a Golden Ball, and even the subsequent Oscar.

However, the award for Best Actor, whether it is a drama or a sound comedy, is not a hot topic of discussion.

Rachel. Weizi's nomination for Best Supporting Actress is not a small controversy, and the heroine chooses the supporting actress, this award strategy is not new, but every time someone will raise objections. So much so that the crew had to respond to repeated reports from the media, believing that Rachel's role in the movie was indeed a supporting role, and there was no such thing as giving up the owner to repay the match, which was completely realistic. The media didn't want to kill Rachel, it was just making news, and after a wave of discussions, it was let go.

"Brokeback Mountain" is the biggest topic at this year's Golden Globe Awards, there is no doubt about it. And the nomination of An Lee and Vivian has given rise to the hot topic of Chinese.

Stephen, the father of nonsensical comedy in Hong Kong. Zhou's "Kung Fu" and Cheng Kaige's "Wuji", which was once world-famous for "Farewell My Concubine", were both shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film, which can be said to have set the best record of Chinese films over the years, not to mention, there are also Vivian's drama actress nominations and An Lee's seven nominations, showing the style of the Chinese.

Daniel didn't interfere in this, and Harvey and Bob did a lot of tricks in it. He won the North American distribution rights of "Kung Fu" and "Wu Ji", hoping to use the Golden Ball to brush up on his popularity so that the box office would be higher. Moreover, this is also part of Harvey's China strategy, this has a very strong reputation in the Chinese film industry, there are those who hate him, and there are those who love him, but as long as they are interested in the North American market, they can't bypass him, no way, other Hollywood power people have no interest in Chinese films, because they are unprofitable.

This is actually the reason why Daniel has not intervened so far, Chinese films do lack of high-quality films, or lack of works that can make North American audiences buy it, good or bad is not a standard, as a regular distribution work, you have to impress the wallets of fans, Chinese films are at present, even ten years later, lack this ability. However, the lives of Chinese filmmakers are very good, fortunately, there are 1.3 billion people living in the land and culture where they are rooted, which is enough to feed them with their brains full of fat, and they actually lack the willingness to come out to fight the country, and the willingness and ability are complementary to each other.

Daniel, of course, had no intention of meddling around.

Hollywood is disturbed, but the Caribbean is calm, Daniel has been filming here honestly for more than 20 days, and several outpost awards are received by Fernando or Rachel, basically, Rachel has a much larger rate of winning awards than him, so she attends a lot of award ceremonies, and the itinerary is full, so there is basically no time when it is impossible for her to receive it on her behalf. Rachel ran around with a five-month-old belly, and Darren, who had broken up with her. Aronowsky is still talking about rumors, and he has been sprayed with blood by the media.

Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Theo. Jingema himself was pushed up by Daniel, and the two had a very close relationship. So Theo took the phone and didn't feel any pressure, and Daniel received calls from him almost every day in the last few days, and the topic was that of course he had to be at the awards ceremony -- there was Daniel. Sandler's Ballon d'Or and no Daniel. Sandler's Ballon d'Or is a two-story affair, and even the Oscar organizing committee has been in contact with them for a long time, albeit in great secrecy. The most direct impact is the ratings, Daniel rarely participates in TV shows, talk shows and the like, and rarely participates in commercial activities after disclosing his business identity, so the audience's ** degree towards him is very high, and once it appears, the boost to the ratings is very significant. Whether it's the Golden Globe or the Oscars, there is a lot of pressure on ratings, ABC or NBC is the same.

So, I hurried and hurried, and finally returned to Los Angeles after finishing my personal role on January 16, only stayed at home for three hours, passed on the prepared clothes, and left directly to the Hilton Hotel. (To be continued......)

PS: If you can vote for me a few referral votes, I will be very grateful, because 20,000 is so far away? Not far away!
