Chapter 287: Big Move

The loss of an equally wealthy son-in-law by the wealthy Porsche family, which is still unknown, is due to the uneventful way Collins and Daniel used to get along — the media would not have thought that a period of separation meant they would say goodbye to each other. Although this time, they really ended the relationship and returned to friends.

Fane. Bolsh arrived in Stuttgart the day after Collins' birthday party and learned the news.

"Just like when you decided to be together, it blew me away." Finn shook his head, "I'm really worried about you, although Daniel you can't be my brother-in-law anymore, but as a friend, I'm also worried about you, you and my sister may not be able to find someone to get along with for the rest of your life, do you know why?" ”

Both Collins and Daniel looked curiously at Finn, the unprofessional brother and the dashing and dissolute friend.

"For you all love yourselves more than others."

"I think the reason for your explanation for this breakup should be that each other is focused on their careers, so they can't spare energy to maintain the relationship that is gradually dulling. Not exactly, dedication to one's career is, in principle, a selfish act, and you are more interested in your own success, and it is less attractive to have a marriage with another person. But it's not a bad thing, I think, some people need love, they need marriage, some people don't, they just need success, power and money, like you have now, especially Daniel, your success is enough to go down in history - this year's People power list, I guess you're going to be in the top 10. If you're able to get satisfaction from these achievements, that's enough. ”

Fein clearly had no intention of being a spiritual mentor to save the lost Collins and Daniel from the abyss.

He was just stating his opinion.

Collins and Daniel were thoughtful.

In Daniel's own opinion, what Finn said is not unreasonable, after coming to the United States, he certainly did not want to live up to such a unique opportunity to start over, so he racked his brains to make a lot of cash from the stock market, presciently created MB, F2F, and used his memory to develop DD Pictures. Invested in Weta Digital...... Step by step, build yourself into an unsinkable aircraft carrier in Hollywood.

This is, of course, a manifestation of more love for yourself.

Whether it's Jessica. Alba or Collins. Bolsh, none of them was able to shake Daniel's insistence.

As for Collins, she didn't think she loved her career more than she loved Daniel. But as time went on, she apparently gained more fulfillment in her business, so much so that she could fully make up for the loss of being separated from Daniel.

It is a matter of course that two wrong people have come to this point.

……

Daniel is back in Hollywood's best bachelor in gold – far better than George. Clooney, this news except for the Bolsh siblings and Daniel himself. No third person knows. Collins and Daniel's team had no contact in the first place, and Cusa knew that the two had broken up.

Before starting a new relationship, there is really no need to rush the news out to the public.

Daniel is hot enough.

Adding fire to it would do him no good.

After being confirmed to be in control of Plutos, MB went public and other big moves, Daniel became extremely special in Hollywood - a little detached from the Three Realms and beyond the five elements. It seems that no one in Hollywood wants to come to him, and those ceilings, rules, etc. no longer seem to exist for him.

Disney quickly finalized the contract for Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, and Daniel had no way to stop Disney's arrangement, but fortunately, the investment was not paid off in one go. In 2005, he filmed "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and when the filming was completed, he would continue to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and the funds were also received step by step.

After the three films "Ghost Omen", "Love Collapses", and "Chainsaw" all received a lot of cash income for DD Pictures, there is basically no financial problem with investing in the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean".

This may also be the news that Disney has gotten.

Daniel's biggest reliance is Jack. Captain Sparrow's Stickiness - In a survey conducted on Disney's website, nearly 95 percent of visitors strongly demanded that Daniel Spalo. Sandler starred in a sequel, a result that ruined Disney's future - if Daniel were to be abandoned, it would mean giving up the box office bonus that the first part brings, and even had a negative effect: such a high level of stickiness suggests that if Daniel is missing, then the second part will need to re-engage audiences. It is not even ruled out that there are some fans because of Daniel's absence. As a result, this series can no longer be seen, which belongs to the living transformation of the potential movie-going crowd into a certain non-movie-watching crowd.

Disney won't take this risk, especially in the second part of the series, where the name has not yet been secured. Probably ruined the future of the series.

30 million + 20% of the salary is the result of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", as for the third part, it is still under negotiation, and both parties agreed to adopt a gradient agreement for the third part, and further negotiations are needed on what this gradient is. The so-called gradient protocol. The most direct description is, of course, the higher the box office, the more the share, but the specific gradient figures are very complex and troublesome, and both parties hope that they can take advantage of more than the absolute salary, at this time, in addition to careful scientific calculations, the prediction and vision of the box office become very important - this is of course Daniel's important advantage.

The signing of the contract of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can be said to be an important symbol of Daniel's significant increase in value after experiencing a series of turmoil.

Unlike politically charged titles like The Immortal Gardener, and unlike the third installment in a series like Spy 3, which has long since finalized the price, Pirates 2 is the first film to negotiate a price after winning the best actor and exposing its fortune - even though it is also a series. But this figure still allows people to see how much Daniel is worth now.

That's enough to scare 90 percent of investors. Thankfully, DD Pictures is in the midst of a massive expansion, and even if he does have a price in the market, he still has his own movies to make. As for the remaining 10 per cent, there is also an increasing use of co-investment.

For Daniel, reducing production is also a matter of course, and the unbeaten record is not so sure.

……

Berkeley students ushered in their own month-long winter break. Sandler will also enjoy a long vacation as a college student for the first time, although he may not be idle at all, one way or another. We can all probably expect him to reappear, after all, it's 2005. After watching the whole of 2004, Daniel will have a special mood when he faces fans and the media again? ”

The San Francisco Chronicle was interested in Daniel's student career. Before the Stiller photo incident, it was also reported for a while.

There are a lot of media outlets speculating that Daniel may take advantage of the winter break to return to the audience, and in their opinion, he will not show up for a year away from the ever-changing Hollywood. It's a very courageous thing to do. Because when you come back, you're likely to hear about another idol. Whether it is a movie fan or an ordinary audience, most of them are forgetful.

There are always two sides to a coin.

There is talk about his imminent return to Hollywood, and of course there is also the belief that Daniel won't be back in the mess anytime soon.

This view is based on the turmoil caused by Daniel in the past year, and in a sense, it is equivalent to saying that even if Daniel does not appear in public, his influence will not become diminished with his absence.

……

"The reporter accidentally photographed the legendary superstar Daniel at the entrance of MGM. Sandler, his face was heavy. When I walked into the MGM building, I even looked left and right several times, and I didn't have the calmness of the past. ”

This revelation suddenly stirred up the blood of dogs.

This time, everyone's guesses are very consistent.

Daniel will play the role of the new James. Bond! Both Jason. After Bourne, Daniel may create a new spy agent - to say that it is new is, of course, to Daniel himself, the most series of films in history, of course, has nothing to do with "new".

"Obviously, "Spy Shadow" is in its third installment, and according to Rudrum's original work, this is already the last. Then then, of course, Daniel will try to choose some new jobs that are more popular, and 007 is a good choice. MGM came up with this project, of course, very sincerely. Did Daniel really decide to take James. Bond to replace Jason. Bourne, I'm afraid I still need to see the specific news from the world.

Whether "Spy Shadows" is as everyone expected, only three films were made. If of course it is not for sure. Then play Jason at the same time. Byrne and James. Bond wasn't a clever move.

Daniel in and out of MGM. Is Sandler really just trying to be the new 007?

MGM and Daniel's team had already decided that Daniel had already turned down the offer, even though the scope of knowledge was not so large, after all, the proposal to invite Daniel to star in 007 had only been confirmed on a small scale.

The most authoritative report that accompanied Daniel's appearance was presented by the Washington Post two days later.

What followed was a truly huge shock to Hollywood.

"There has been a major change in the MGM acquisition case, and DD Pictures has led the group into the game. It will compete with the acquisition group led by Sony. ”

DD Pictures has combined all parties to form a new acquisition team to compete with the international acquisition team led by Sony, before this, Sony is the only important option in the MGM acquisition, they have deep pockets, and Sony itself is a giant in Hollywood, owning Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and now MGM is in its arms, there is no doubt that Sony will once again expand Sony's rights in Hollywood.

But now it is very different from the first ten years of the last century, Japan is no longer a nouveau riche who can buy the whole world, Sony is also suffering from iPods, and the path of the Walkman is getting narrower and narrower, which is powerless for Sony. With the acquisition of MGM this time, it is not difficult to see that Sony's ambitions in the field of home entertainment consumption, with a library of 4,000 films and more than 10,000 TV series, are of course a piece of fat that is enough to make people have the urge to take a bite.

……

DD Pictures took the lead in wanting to "swallow the elephant" and the news of the acquisition of MGM actually caused waves in Hollywood far more than Daniel's previous news.

Neither his possession of Plutos nor MB's skyrocketing personal wealth after going public has received such intense attention as this time.

"That's what he's ultimately trying to do."

Harvey, who has been wondering. Weinstein, at this time, also understood that Daniel broke through the blind spot of everyone's thinking.

No one had thought about this possibility before.

DD Pictures Acquires MGM?

A three-year-old independent film studio is to lead the acquisition of the oldest Hollywood studio, which has 4,000 productions and more than 100 Oscars.

This scenario is not on the radar of many people at all.

But now, everything is happening without a choice.

A spokesperson for DD Pictures was quick to confirm the report.

"I can confirm that DD Pictures has made progress in acquiring MGM Pictures, and we will continue to work with other competitors to acquire this historic studio. Once the deal is concluded, it is certain that DD Pictures' proven track record will bring new changes and brilliance to MGM. Our financial partners have 12 points of trust in this. ”

After the official certification, the relevant reports became overwhelming.

Burbank, Disney's office.

Robert sat silently behind the desk and hadn't moved for more than half an hour.

He really didn't expect Daniel to make a move on MGM, even after he became chairman of Plutos Investments, Robert didn't think about it.

It's incredible.

For DD Pictures, a "big studio" that seems to be difficult to return to, with nearly 2 billion foreign debts, is not such a good acquisition target. Unlike Sony, DD Pictures lacked the ability to fully reuse MGM's film library, which almost scrapped one of MGM's most valuable resources.

So, if Daniel is bent on going his own way, why is he still able to gather such a large group of forces to collide head-on with the international consortium led by Sony.

"Why, what do you want to do......"

Robert, who was muttering to himself, obviously couldn't get an answer.

This question exists in the minds of many people at the same time, and with the sound of a rumbling heartbeat, some people are trying to get an answer, others are not.

"Ha, that's Daniel's ambition, once he swallows MGM, he will instantly become one of the masters of Hollywood, unlike MGM's current owner, he is one of the most successful actors in Hollywood history, he knows how to convince investors of him, and his past success is the best guarantee."
