(Two consecutive changes, celebrate Monday and 100 chapters, and ask for recommended votes, guys)

"Daniel Sandler was invited by a minority group in Los Angeles to take a stand against discrimination on campus."

Daniel said that he deeply admires the professionalism and high artistry of European films, and looks forward to the possibility of cooperation.

When asked about his favourite film, Daniel called Italian director Roberto Bernini's "Life is Beautiful" very good, and the film won three awards at the Oscars last year, including Best Actor.

Reports such as these have come and gone since the Christmas season, and Daniel's attendance at various events has increased significantly.

For example, he dedicated two oil paintings created by him at minority events, both of which are about equality, freedom, and doves of peace, which are quite profound, and so far, his paintings have not been shown except during the promotion period of "Gladiator".

These two works were sought after by some wealthy people at the event's ancillary auction, who were invited to come just to pay for the good reviews, and saw that Daniel's works had some artistic value, and were always a little more popular than other handmade and worn dresses worn by students.

The two small paintings sold for $9,000 and $11,000 respectively, raising $20,000 for the event.

In another Asian American organization event, he also showed off his Chinese, which surprised the Chinese team present.

In addition, he also talked more about films from various countries, saying that he hopes to promote films in Europe, Asia and other regions, and he is also very interested in local filmmakers.

At such a critical moment, Daniel's actions will naturally cause media speculation.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has a total of 89 journalists, most of whom are from European countries, but there are also Asian countries such as Japan and Israel, and of course Australia and New Zealand. Overall, Daniel's coverage is almost universal.

No one knows exactly how useful this will be, but that doesn't stop competitors from posting articles attacking him for "PR awards" – public PR awards, which is an accurate statement.

But these negative manuscripts are also part of Daniel's planning.

Triver even arranged some counter-arguments.

Then, based on these designed points of attack, he wrote his counter-arguments to the point of great pleasing to foreign journalists.

"Now that everyone is on the same line, whoever jumps a little higher may jump up." When Triver alleviated Daniel's worries, he comforted him like this, "Daniel, you must know that the judges of the Golden Globe Awards have always been not so conventional, they can't wait to be controversial, as long as they are not principled, strict and damaging to the credibility, now you are all the same, who you choose will not affect the Golden Globes, as long as you can please them, they will dare to vote for you." ”

Out of trust and recognition of Trick's experience, Daniel followed Tricker's arrangement.

However, one of the things that worked in Daniel's favour during this period was that the Screen Actors Guild Awards gave their own list, and Daniel beat out Albert Finney to win the all-important Best Supporting Actor trophy.

This gave him more motivation to go for the Ballon d'Or.

Because the Screen Actors Guild Award is a very neutral award, many times it will be a reference for other awards, rather than a threat or an opponent.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer, which means that the Oscar nominations are not too far away, after entering January 2001, the schedule of the awards season seems to have caught up all of a sudden, the Golden Globes and Oscars are once again flooding Hollywood, and it is a little embarrassing for the Golden Globes that as the awards approach, the Golden Globes, which should be getting hotter and hotter, are more stolen from the limelight by the upcoming Oscar nominations, even if the difference between the two is almost twenty days.

This is inevitable, and all awards ceremonies have to start and end under the majesty of the Oscars.

Halfway through January, all Daniel could do was pretty much it, and in the end, Trif couldn't make any more promises than get the last minute - someone might be able to nominate and know, but there were certainly very few, especially with such an award of equal proportions. After all, the greater the influence of the award, the more expensive its credibility is, there are not so many people who are willing to spend so much money after all, and the judges' discipline is not so weak.

Some tendencies, more possibilities, a certain percentage of support, are the norm, but the words "undoubtedly" are not Hollywood rules, nor are they Oscar rules.

However, while Daniel was waiting for the Ballon d'Or ceremony, a call from Paris, France, where he had just left, diverted his attention.

The call came from Tim Rowland, an investor in the Snow Eagle Fund.

At their last meeting, Tim talked to him about the project, but months passed without further information from Daniel, and in fact, according to his current plans, he didn't have much time to make another film for a few more months, except in the back row.

"Tim, long time no see."

"Yes, then tomorrow is okay? I'm back to Los Angeles tomorrow from Paris, can I invite you to come and sit at home next night? I invite you to drink red wine, knowing that I have a lot of good goods. ”

Daniel was surprised that Tim's invitation came in such a hurry that he didn't expect.

"Oh, tomorrow? You wait a minute. ”

Covering the earpiece, Daniel called Andy and asked about his itinerary, he tried not to refuse Tim, even if the two of them could not cooperate in this opportunity, but with Tim's connections and the strength of the Snow Eagle Fund, there might be a fate of cooperation in the future.

It's a relationship that needs to be maintained.

Andy got the signal, weighed the trip, and nodded to him, indicating that there was no problem.

"Tim?"

"How's it going?"

"I can't wait to taste your collection."

"Oh, great, see you tomorrow night?"

The next night, Daniel and Kusa hid from the media and went to meet Tim at his temporary home in Los Angeles.

An unexpected guest surprises Daniel.

Harvey Weinstein.

It's a name that everyone in Hollywood is familiar with, but if we talk about the Weinstein brothers, namely Bob Weinstein and him, and their Miramax, everyone is certainly more familiar.

Miramax is currently the most successful independent film company, and since its acquisition by Walt Disney, they have been producing high-quality films, and this year's "Chocolate" is their work, which has been nominated for several nominations, including actress.

"Harvey, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Daniel's surprise was only for a moment, and immediately he hugged Harvey very affectionately.

"That's what everyone is talking about, and I'm glad to meet you."

This Oscar public relations expert looks quite personable, looking at this, ordinary people can't imagine that the Weinstein brothers braved the world's condemnation to push "Shakespeare in Love" to the Oscar throne and directly killed "Saving Private Ryan", which has almost become a stain that the Oscars can't wash away.

"I'll have to go back to Paris tomorrow," Tim said as he watched them mingle and nodded to Kusa Damon, who was standing aside, "so I would like you to come and sit down this year." ”

Before Daniel arrived, Tim's conversation with Harvey had ended, and it was clear that Harvey was also interested in getting to know Daniel, so he stayed.

After getting to know each other, the two confirmed that they both had a desire to further their relationship, and Harvey took his leave and left Tim's house.

"Daniel, I'm sorry, I told you about the film before, the director wanted to choose European actors in the UK, so my recommendation was not accepted, and your conditions are a bit outstanding, I mean face and body, so-"

Daniel made a wry smile, "Tim, you know, I've heard my face a few times lately that my face is a hindrance, you know that I just finished filming "Spy", and the heroine persuaded the director to give me a beard before she was willing to shoot with me. ”

"Haha, that's a blissful annoyance." Tim laughed out loud, "But now the situation has changed, he has auditioned for more than a thousand actors and there is no suitable one, and now he is looking for male lead in a European newspaper, and of course, he has also decided to see my recommendation." ”

Daniel's heart moved, and interviewed more than 1,000 people, you must know that there is a threshold for interviews, and although there are more wolves and less meat in the entertainment industry, the opportunity to attract more than 1,000 people is definitely not a big deal.

"Tim, stop whetting my appetite, can you tell me what movie it is? Who directed it? ”

Tim pondered for a moment, then looked at Daniel and Cusa before spitting out a name.

It's a thunderous name.

Roman Polanski!

This is a legendary director who has an incomparably brilliant list of works, but also extremely controversial. His life experience is unparalleled in Hollywood, a Polish man who escaped from the Nazis and experienced his pregnant wife being hacked to death at his home by an evil organization.

Although he fled Europe in the late 70s on suspicion of having a relationship with a minor and never returned to the United States, his work has always attracted attention in the United States.

Daniel felt his mouth a little dry.

It's 2001, and if there are no accidents, the film Polanski is preparing should be the work that made him the pinnacle - "The Pianist".

No obscure film practitioner will be unaware of the achievements and artistic heights achieved by this film.

At this moment, Daniel did not have any fear of facing the shocking work, all he had was excitement and excitement, and the blood surging all over his body.

"Tim—"
