Of course, Cusa's purpose is not to provoke a cyber war between the United States and New Zealand, he just wants to profit from it.

As a result, Fred sided with New Zealand without taking a position, which gave some support to the arguments of the New Zealanders, including some of the heavier online personalities.

These Americans, Fred and his army of vests, of course, were Americans, and began to wonder about what the New Zealanders insisted on as "very similar", which, while a Kiwi film in the actual sense, undoubtedly belonged to Hollywood, and that Americans had no xù feelings about the film.

Opinions began to develop towards whether Daniel's appearance was enough to mess with reality.

But it is still a long time before the release of the "Lord of the Rings" movie, even its first trailer. As a result, movie fans and painting enthusiasts began to take matters into their own hands, releasing online images of elves modeled after Daniel, among which the Los Angeles Times try-on photo was the most favored, which was a half-finished product, with no ears, no high-end blonde hair, and a somewhat casual makeup, and people made some designs based on that, and then added special effects - soft light, and a forest background.

The effect is truly amazing.

"If I saw a face like that in the hills of New Zealand, I thought I might think it was a real elf." LAH's Jenny can be said to be a witness to the development of the entire elf incident in the United States, and the material of the person who posted LAH is still used by many newspapers and websites. After the Daniel elf character picture was released, Jenny immediately posted this post on LAH's Hollywood star section, and she usually doesn't post on the topic in her own section.

Daniel's popularity has recently come back again, the pre-publicity for "Gladiator" has been partially launched, Russell Crowe has noticeably increased the frequency of mentioning "Gladiator" and other related personnel in some recent interviews, Connie Nelson's exposure has also increased, and even Ridley Scott has occasionally had some news about the difficulty of editing "Gladiator", because every scene is so good.

Daniel's elf events and Gladiator quickly linked up.

MGM took advantage of the situation to announce Daniel's arrival in Legally Blonde, and they did not forget to mention "a certain percentage of the box office share".

The industry has polarized reviews of this - some critics who value acting believe that Daniel is too busy collecting money to be irresponsible about his career plans, and that an inspirational film entirely about women is even more pointless than Billy Bob in "School Blues", and that if he hadn't taken on "Gladiator," this is certainly a good choice, but it would be too unsmart to take over "Pretty Woman" immediately after filming "Gladiator."

"Young people have realized the importance of money, and it is enough for him to give up the pursuit of acting."

The other group of people, including some actors and production companies, saw that the box office was divided into four words -- in the last decade of the twentieth century, big stars could once get tens of millions of salaries plus 10 to 20 percent, which was another golden age of stars. But with the sharp decline in DVD sales and the decline in the number of films made by production companies, such good times are gone, and few people can afford such treatment, except for a very small number of actors with strong commercial value.

Johnny Depp is the best example, he is already an A-level star, but the salary of the films he has made has not exceeded 10 million, as for the share, the film with a large investment is rarely willing to give him this treatment, and the share of small-budget films often means that the salary will be reduced, and in the end, it will be calculated whether it will be made or lost - it depends on God's will.

Tom Hanks and the like can still do whatever they want - but who has only one Tom Hanks for so many years.

Daniel was able to get MGM's share of the box office, and for him, the film was definitely worth it as long as it was good.

At this time, many people also reacted to Daniel's short-term value, and it should be very worthwhile to give him a not too high share at this time, especially a veteran company like MGM with strong promotion and publicity capabilities.

In any case, with the elf incident as an opportunity, Daniel's popularity suddenly regained and he broke into the top five on IMDB.

Frank Marshall - one of the producers of "Spy", the founder of the Ablin Company, and the owner of this company, Steven Spielberg, is a famous big man.

He had been asked to meet with Cusa, the third time they had met.

Cusa and Philip faced each other a few times over the role - in this case, the legitimate confrontation.

If Philip had shown in a meeting that Matt Damon's extensive resume and believable box office appeal should have been the first choice for "Spy", then Cusa would have been very convincing to tell Sù Doug Liman and Frank that "Spy" is not a new creative story, and that the selling point of the movie lies in the innovation and its own intellectual charm, and that a popular actor who has never played a similar movie before is the most suitable, otherwise, you can hardly expect the audience to not think that he is Ryan at first sight of Damon, but Jason Bourne.

For Doug, this makes a lot of sense. He intended to dispense with some of the inherent features and techniques in the filming of this film.

Moreover, there is still a little trouble, the soul screenwriter of the movie, Tony Gilroy, and Damon seem to be a little bit at odds, and Damon, who won the Oscar screenwriting award, may be a little arrogant, and his evaluation of Tony's screenwriter is not too polite, which has reached Tony's ears.

Although the two sides can still get along politely, it is impossible to be intimate.

Before Frank arrived, the attitude of the global side had been much more ambiguous, and it was not as certain as before. Frank himself understands the reason for this, Daniel has been in the limelight recently, "The Genius Ripley" is still being released, and the box office of nearly 80 million cannot let Damon overwhelm Daniel in terms of popularity, in fact, in terms of popularity, Daniel can be said to have won big. Of course, it doesn't matter, it's important that Daniel makes investors aware of his value.

The promotional value of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" is also reassuring, and now that people have planted a strong curiosity about the elven prince, the series will be released from 2001 to 2003, and if "Spy Heavy" is released next summer as planned, it can also take advantage of the two billion-dollar blockbusters before and after "Legally Blonde" as planned.

Even, the DVD market, the most important battlefield in the history of spy action films, will also benefit from this.

Relatively speaking, Matt Damon's two new films, Robert Redford's "Return to Glory", did not sell very well, the story is old-fashioned, and Will Smith is not a popular character now, "Hurricane" was a box office fiasco just released last year, IMDB only gave it a score of 4.1, more than 80% of the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are spit, and Jin Sour Mei gave the film five awards - although Will survived, it can be seen that the movie is bad. Another "Ocean's Eleven", which breaks through between an old fox like George Clooney and heartthrob Bratt Pitt, is not very optimistic about the world.

The most important thing is that these two movies have some conflicts with "Spy", and they are competitors, whether it is the former's GIs playing baseball or the latter's crime action movies.

So, it seems, Daniel is even more valuable.
