Chapter 140: Desperate Trouble

The pie ended early, Dominic invited Daniel to his house the day after tomorrow, the Bolsh sisters and brothers sent the guests out the door, and Phil drove Daniel back to his residence in order to save Andy something.

It's just that his eyes are a little weird to look at along the way, which makes Daniel a little unnatural.

A few days before leaving Berlin, Dominique's mother cooked Daniel a very special German meal, which of course delighted both the guests and the hosts. Diane Kruger's invitation was pushed to the back by him, and when he got into the shoot, there was always time. Other than that, Collins and Daniel became unexpectedly familiar.

She knew that many locations were hidden and not easy for the paparazzi to chase, so she took Daniel around Berlin for several days, but Fell did not appear in the past two days.

Collins originally wanted to drive Daniel and Andy to Tegel Airport, but when Andy said that Daniel's car needed to be stored at ZΓ i Airport and could be used when they returned, Collins gave up his kindness and drove to the airport before returning.

"That's Miss Porsh?"

"Yes, Collins is friendly." Daniel, of course, realized that something was wrong, and Collins's enthusiasm crossed the line of friends, not to mention that they had only known each other for a few days.

Dominic had a strange expression, "Do you know the situation at Collins' house?" ”

"No, I don't know, what's so special?"

"Aren't you good friends with Fell?" Dominic asked in surprise, "I heard him say that you are pretty good friends that day." ”

"Really?" Daniel didn't know that he had become a pretty good friend in Fell's heart, "I only met Fell when I came to Berlin this time, and we worked out together. ”

"Kvis?"

Seeing Daniel's hellish expression, Dominic smiled and said, "Phil didn't tell you, is that his fitness center?" ”

"You're saying Kvis is Fair's property?" Daniel was a little surprised at this moment, the location and grade of the Kveis Center showed that this was not an indifferent industry. He was now a little curious about Fell and Collins' family.

"Bolsh, don't you think of it?"

"Porsh?" Daniel frowned for a moment, but suddenly thought of another meaning of the word, "Porsh, my God, is that the one?" ”

Dominic nodded, although Daniel didn't say it explicitly, he knew that Daniel had already guessed the answer.

That's right, Daniel's more familiar Chinese expression should be Porsche!

A German luxury car brand based in Sturgard.

Men always pour some special emotions into luxury cars, Daniel knew about Porsche in his previous life, its grievances with Volkswagen, and the confusing relationship between the Porsche family and the PiΓ«ch family, which is almost one of the most wonderful stories in the history of the world automobile industry.

"Finn and Collins are both members of the Porsche family?"

"To be exact, they are a pair of Wolfgang's sons and daughters." Dominic, as a native of Berlin, certainly knows all about this, not to mention that Fair and Collins are not quiet in high society. He said that Wolfgang is the leader of the Porsche family and the representative of the Porsche family on the company's supervisory board.

I accidentally met Germany's top Nth generation billionaire.

"So the next time you buy a Porsche, can you ask him for a discount? I used to buy a Mercedes from Daimler. ”

……

Back in Los Angeles, Daniel put the "adventures" in Berlin in the back of his mind, and Fell or Collins's net worth may not be comparable to him now, so there is really no need to worry too much.

Through GuΓ² Andy, in fact, there is no special lingering affairs.

When he rested, it was the night before the premiere.

The world premiere of "The Fellowship of the Ring" was held in Los Angeles, which was supposed to be held in London, Tolkien's hometown, but the popularity of "The Fellowship of the Ring" during the promotion period was far greater in the United States than in the United Kingdom, so in the end, New Line held the event at the traditional Hilton Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

This time, Daniel declined the new line's arrangement to let him walk the red carpet with Liv Taylor, who had just got a new boyfriend, and during the promotion, some tabloids pulled the line at will and also made up the news that there was a leg between them, so Daniel didn't want Liv's new relationship to be tested.

He ended up walking the red carpet alone.

There were cheers and flashing lights, and there was no way around at this time, as New Line and its parent company, Time Warner, invited a lot of big names to help.

This kind of work is destined to be a hit, and everyone is willing to come to participate in the grand event.

Daniel was able to meet many old friends, two great directors, Ridley Scott and Robert Zemeckis, as well as Russell Crowe, a hot superstar, and this year he and Ron Howard's new film "A Beautiful Mind" will be released in two days compared to "The Fellowship of the Ring", almost head-to-head. The rave reviews at the preview screening made him a superstar who was shortlisted for the Oscar for three consecutive years. Ridley may also be nominated for Best Director again with "Black Hawk Down", but even if the two are shortlisted, they should not be considered favorites, Crowe has just won the best actor, and the academy will certainly not let him be the second Tom Hanks. "Black Hawk Down" can only be said to be the standard for nomination, but it is not yet the level that can win awards.

In addition, the new celebrity Reese Witherspoon is also here to cheer.

Beverly is star-studded, which seems to indicate that the film will achieve the expected results.

The premiere was lively, and the newspapers of the next day were all about it. This Daniel is not very related, and no matter how popular his character is, it does not change that he is only a supporting character in the top five in this movie, so he has fewer obligations, so Andy has already booked a plane back to Berlin. This time back, "The Pianist" will officially start filming.

……

In the following two months, "The Fellowship of the Ring" swept the Christmas schedule with a terrifying score of 47.21 million on the first day, and the subsequent "Beautiful Mind" was extremely tenacious and rose all the way with word-of-mouth, but it has never been able to match "The Fellowship of the Ring", four days on the first weekend, "The Fellowship of the Ring" exceeded 100 million in North America, and 22 countries and regions around the world were simultaneously released, breaking 100 million on the first day, and breaking through 250 million US dollars worldwide in the first weekend and four days on the first weekend.

"A masterpiece with a billion-dollar box office."

The Lord of the Rings began to sweep the world, barely inferior to the Matrix franchise, and Daniel's haunts in Berlin were more difficult, as more people would suddenly recognize him and shout "Elven Prince". But on the whole, compared with Los Angeles and the United States, and Peter Jackson, who was at the pinnacle of his life, Daniel, who was hiding in Berlin to shoot "The Pianist", still staggered with this wave of craze, even if the global call for the "elf prince" was almost heard by the astronauts of the International Space Station, Daniel did not leave Berlin.

Even, because he did not want to break away from Spearman's character, he refused to invite the crew and his Berlin friends to the cinema to see the film.

"It was a very important and indispensable time for me." In the later issue of "The Daily Show", Daniel talked about this wonderful experience, outside the set, there were cheers, applause, flowers, like boiling hot oil, just waiting for him to stand up and accept everyone's pursuit and show love, but in the studio, the World War II set everywhere, the heavy and sad story in the script, and the characters in the movie all day long, all made his heart must be immersed and pure.

"At that time, I heard other people's descriptions that it seemed that the whole world loved me, and there were people squatting outside the studio every day. But in the shed, I felt abandoned by the world, with nowhere to stay, my friends left me, my life was precarious, I was dealing with refugees, Nazis, villains, and I was sinking into good and evil every day. The experience is extremely amazing for anyone. ”

"Indeed, even just hearing your description, I find that situation fascinating." Jon agreed.

"Yes!"

Starring in "The Pianist" was a very different experience for Daniel. Polanski is a "pretty **" director, he has a whole film in his heart, everyone needs to be what he wants, he makes sure that you can achieve that when choosing actors, and then you just have to approach as required, don't innovate, don't be wanton.

Therefore, Daniel rarely needs to think about how to shape the character and how to perform the character. His greatest effort is spent on the integration of the whole emotion, which is a state that requires sober obsession, clarity to ensure that Daniel can perform, and obsession to ensure that what he performs is excellent. So the circumstances he was in helped this kind of performance are indescribable.

The strong sense of contrast in and out of the play strongly pushes him to get closer to the deeper heart of the character, step by step, being cheered and admired and pushed back to the depths of Spearman's soul and heart.

Until, really become a Spearman with Daniel's perspective, and then completely control the character and the whole movie.

――――――

10,000 words on the third day, continue to persevere. Thank you for the sticky reward, about the shelves, I'm going to ask the editor when I get to 400,000 words, but I guess I can't get it, anyway, I'm mentally prepared.
