The story is so elusive that Daniel certainly couldn't have actually texted that Vivian.

As he expected, the statement he released on F2F was not able to stop the spread of this turmoil, for F2F, of course, it was a grand carnival, and user activity, including content attractiveness, has increased dramatically, but the "All-American Boyfriend" sign above Daniel's head can't be taken off no matter what.

The MGM takeover is over, and although there is still a lot of work to be done, the Daniel team can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there are certainly more suitable people for those transactional jobs.

Daniel himself shifted his focus from these things to other things.

"The Immortal Gardener" started filming immediately after Daniel's holiday, so the casting is urgent, this movie is actually very complex, there are many layers and connotations, as a film that seems to be a suspenseful crime-solving genre, it integrates some elements of science and education, public welfare, and even African image promotion, how to integrate these together, and to be more complete and attractive, it is a test for directors and actors.

Directed by Fernando. Merrils is in charge, Daniel has no opinion, although the box office of "The Immortal Gardener" is not high, and the original work is only about 90 million worldwide, which can only be said to be a small profit compared to the budget of 25 million - but this is already a remarkable achievement. Movies with this kind of theme generally rarely hope to return on their money at the box office, which is equivalent to losing a little money to make a prize, or at least balancing the film plan - a film company that is all commercial films will affect its corporate image. It's like a fast-moving consumer goods brand - usually superstars don't take their ads, which is related to the mass positioning of their products. It's the same with movie studios, if you're all doing commercial films, whether it's a director, an actor, a producer, or a wide range of connections, it will have a negative impact.

This is also why many films are not profitable at first glance, but there are still film companies to do it. Most of them are to win awards, increase the company's reputation and attract actors - Leonardo's constant eye on Miramax is, of course, because of their influence and public relations skills at the Oscars.

Therefore, Daniel does not plan to replace Fernando because of the box office of the original film - he is indeed the best literary film director in Hollywood right now, and "City of God", which was released last year, has an IMDB score of 8.7. It is second only to the "Lord of the Rings" series of trilogies since the beginning of the new century, and is among the top 20 in the network rating, although "The Immortal Gardener" is slightly inferior. But it can also be regarded as a masterpiece, with some significant shortcomings and superfluous literary feelings, Daniel will of course communicate with Fernando during the shooting, as an investor and actor, he has this position anyway.

On the actors. Actor Justin. Quinyle, of course, was played by Daniel himself - the image of a British diplomat was also a new experience and experiment for Daniel.

In addition to this frog, the most important is of course the heroine Tessa. Quinyle's candidate.

This woman is a lawyer, but she is observant and compassionate. Not only that, but his and Justin's love story is equally important, and moreover, love does not exist independently, but is attached to the progress of the story, and Justin reflects on his relationship with Tarzan on the road of chasing his true dreams, here. Possess a wonderful chemistry. Simple love may be moving, but more flavorful love stories often take place in the background, such as war.

So for Tessa's actor, the requirements are still very high.

There are many people who are interested in this.

When DD Pictures released this request to the Screen Actors Guild, the major companies put it in a very good position on their production lists, for the simple reason that this may not be an opportunity to double the value of people, but it is very likely to add a respectable work to their list, and to put it more bluntly, this film is likely to win them a few awards.

In fact. It's not a good thing that the idea is endorsed by too many people.

For Daniel, he has been nominated for the Oscar for 3 consecutive years, and if he follows this rhythm, he must launch an Olympic film every year. His current plans for this year are only "The Immortal Gardener" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the latter of which he even had to take a long leave of absence when filming, and he could only take care of exams, which is really the series that can't be delayed any longer - not to mention that his asking price is so unceremonious. I really can't push back. Daniel won the second Oscar for "Pirate 1", and of course it is very likely to be shortlisted again with "Pirate 2", but even if everything goes well, "Pirate 2" will not come out this year, it is not a small-budget movie like "The Gardener". A lot of special effects work, complicated and rigorous publicity and distribution plans, and strict schedule selection, every point is extremely important, and it is impossible to release it in a hurry, just for Daniel's nomination.

Then "The Immortal Gardener" is basically determined to be Daniel's Olympic film of the year.

"Gladiator", "Pianist", "Pirates of the Caribbean", so far, Daniel's three Olympic films, each of which is enough to leave a name in film history. Being able to participate in this kind of work is attractive to any actress, especially this time Tessa's role is very expressive, which is very different from the first three Olympic films.

The competitors are basically Hollywood A-level or B+ actresses, and if the cast is weaker, they will basically be out directly, so it is inevitable to reduce their prices.

Among those who have publicly expressed interest in this role, Charlize . Theron has rightfully received the most attention because he was named Best Actor in the same class as Daniel and is African, but he wasn't actually the highest-scoring candidate - on first impressions. Although she has always avoided affecting her acting work because of her personal image, it is only specific to this project, which does cause her a little trouble.

In addition to Theron, Angelina. Although Julie is more inappropriate, she also says that she is willing - her goal is not exactly the Oscar or any other award, this lady has relatively high requirements for social status and public welfare image, and starring in this kind of work can give her many opportunities to talk about topics such as focusing on Africa, focusing on poverty, and focusing on equity.

Chicago, Renee. Zweig, Titanic's Rosekate. Winslet, Ben. Affleck's girlfriend Jennifer. Garner, as well as "The Mummy" actress Rachel. Vichy - both are very well-known actresses, among which Kate and Rachel have the advantage of nationality, and Tessa herself is British.

It's a good thing that so many people express their intentions, but it also brings a lot of headaches. (To be continued.) )
