Chapter 418: Unstoppable
Boyle and Simon eventually chose to work with Daniel, which is certainly conceivable, and Daniel promised a budget of 20 million more than Warner Bros. - a whopping 25 percent. Boyle's personal remuneration also reached 1.5 million, which is just double the 750,000 offered by Warner, and in Hollywood, well-known directors can also get 20 million and shares, such as James. Cameron, who made more or less money in a movie than any of the top stars could get — except for the possible investments. Another example is Paul in "Spy 3". Greengrass, he can have a salary of 15 million in this episode, which is higher than most actors. However, on the whole, the director's salary is lower than that of the main actors, and it is not so easy to get a share - not that as a director, as a leading actor, it is natural to be able to get a share figure, there is no reason for this, generally speaking, the director is either directly employed by the producer, a ready-made script, a ready-made budget figure, this kind of director who is not a very big director, it is impossible to get a share. The other is Boyle's, who needs to find their own investment in their own scripts, relatively speaking, this kind of request for a share is slightly more likely, because for the producers, the stability of the latter is insufficient, and tying the box office and the director helps to increase their trust in the final product. However, this ratio is only relative to the former, and the absolute value is also very low.
Therefore, Daniel is definitely sincere in giving this number.
What's more, in addition to the changes in these numbers. Daniel also promised to give Boyle more freedom – a promise that is very precious to a director, especially a less aggressive and confident director.
All these conditions. And with the countless rings of light on Daniel's head, Boyle's decision to change course was definitely a smart move.
It's just that Warner Bros. is inevitably depressed.
The movie "Slumdog Millionaire", they actually didn't pay much attention to it, if it wasn't for Bill himself, he would have been pulled away by Daniel. It doesn't reach the ears of the people above. But now that this is the case, the people below have no choice but to admit that they are unlucky, and secretly scold DD Pictures in their hearts.
……
Hollywood is surging underwater. DD Pictures has turned from a small snake to a strong dragon, stirring up the chaos of this pool of water that has not moved for many years, but the inertia of Hollywood's decades-long itinerary is still strong and irresistible.
The 2006 awards season officially kicked off after Daniel's return to London.
The National Review Association Award was the first to be awarded.
"Unstoppable" won several awards for Best Actor and Actress, Best Picture and Best Cinematography. It makes all competitors feel a sense of crisis. This was followed by the Motion Picture Association of America's Top 10 Films. "Unstoppable" ranked first, and slashed many god films such as "Tower of Babel", "Infernal Affairs", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Little Sunshine Beauty", "Queen", "Queen Wears Prada", etc., which can be said to have shocked the entire Hollywood.
This year is undoubtedly a big year in terms of films, and the fact that "Unstoppable" can win has to make everyone start to re-examine this work and examine the huge wave it has caused.
Controversies, of course, ensued.
Whether to win with the standard of the movie, or because of the vast tide it has triggered, different opinions continue to collide in newspapers and on the Internet. People with different views vehemently refuted each other. Famous in the industry, ordinary movie fans. They all rolled up their sleeves and opened their arms to go into battle in person. This is a debate without clear group boundaries, some critics support and some oppose, fans support and oppose, and even stars and directors in front of the stage, there are also clear support and clear opposition.
Veteran actor Michael. Douglas told reporters, "It's a good movie, but it's not the best of the year." I think a lot of opinions are being swept up by a nostalgic trend, and we have to get rid of that factor when evaluating films. ”
Very interesting is that his wife, Catherine. Zeta. Jones took the opposite view and even directly refuted Douglas's view.
"I think Unstoppable is really one of the best movies of the year, the acting, the pacing, the atmosphere and the mood, it's all amazing. I think that a movie that can resonate with so many people should certainly take this factor into account when evaluating it. The film itself is created for the audience. ”
But there was no conflict between the couple of different ages, and they soon openly attended the awards season together, and the two men were intimate and did not show the slightest reluctance.
The two also laughed at the criticism on the Internet that they were using it to gain attention, and said very generously that they just expressed different views, and that the husband and wife would not have exactly the same ideas, that they did not live on Capitol Hill, and that there was no need to meet at home for three months and then express their views together.
Accompanying these controversies was a wave of Film Critics Association Awards, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and the American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards – Daniel swept almost all of the awards, and occasionally omitted them, which were won by "The Last Dictatorship." Whitaker, and Leonardo, who starred in "The Infernal Stage." DiCaprio took it, and as for his other work "Blood Diamond", not only did it overlap with the two masterpieces "Hotel Rwanda" and "The Immortal Gardener", but it did not receive any nominations.
When the Golden Globes announced their list of nominees on December 15, Daniel was almost unstoppable.
Whether it is for him or against him, whether he thinks he is worthy of the name or thinks he is overrated, no one can deny that he has won more actor than all the contenders together in the awards season so far.
"I suspect that he may have a small room in his house dedicated to his various trophies and trophies, and no one can count the number of actors, big and small, he has won over the years - some of them have even been sent to his home in Los Angeles. But this is the reality, every contemporary, oh no, it should be said that every actor who is still going on with his career now, is sad on this level, and their brilliance is replaced by Daniel. Sandler's shadow is hidden. ”
Roger, who has never been involved in matters other than film criticism. Albert can't help but feel so emotional on his blog.
There is no doubt that Daniel was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy with "Unstoppable", which is the second time he has been shortlisted for the Best Actor in an Audio Comedy, but the unpleasant turmoil at the 61st Golden Globe Awards is still unforgettable.
