Daniel wasn't quite sure about Jon yet. Which side is Landau on.

You know, since November 5th, the Writers Guild of America decided to start a strike, and a large number of actors have joined it. Hunter, Julian. Moore, Steve. Carell, Tim. Robbins and Robin. Williams, the biggest name of them, is none other than the comedy big Ben. Stiller, but a lot of eyes are on Daniel. Sandler.

He's so special.

Until the end of October of this year, the Writers Guild had been negotiating with the Film and Television Producers Association -- and the latter was controlled by the studios, of course, DD Pictures, MGM Pictures, etc., so in fact, Daniel and the writers were on opposite sides, and they belonged to the group that needed to be brought down.

However, Daniel himself has always been quite low-key, mainly because he is operating the acquisition of Marvel, and there is no public activity. The media did not have the opportunity to ask questions in person, and this was the first time he attended an event to accept questions since the matter fermented. So everyone is almost excited, you know, Daniel can represent DD Pictures, but DD Pictures can't represent Daniel - this sentence is a bit awkward, in fact, in the negotiations with the Film and Television Producers Association, whether it is the Writers Guild or the Producers Guild, they are a whole, and it is impossible to say that DD Pictures will stand up and reach an agreement with the Writers Guild - so that DD Pictures does not have to mix in Hollywood. So at that time, DD Pictures and other companies were advancing and retreating, which in itself is understandable.

However, Daniel himself is different, as an influential actor and investor, his own attitude can exist independently of DD Pictures.

In other words, he can speak out in support of the writers – which is the politically correct choice of the moment.

"What the hell is your attitude?"

Jon chatted with him about Juno, but was visibly absent-minded, and finally got straight to the point - if Daniel had been going around there, Jon couldn't have been silent.

Daniel paused.

"You have to tell me first. What is your position? You're a producer, and you're on such a good relationship with Fox, so you're against a deal with the Writers Guild, right? ”

"No, why object?" Jon quickly shook his head, "I'm not against that. Daniel, don't be kidding, you know better than anyone the attitude of the production company, now it's just a matter of conditions, it's impossible for the screenwriters to say as much as they want. It's impossible. ”

Daniel's face was still relatively relaxed, and for him, it didn't seem like a problem, and seriously, at the end of 2007, he could have relied on himself to provide the script for the company, which was nothing, although he was a bit out of position, but he was legendary enough. Of course. In the long run, no one can go it alone.

"It seems that Lianmei and Lionsgate have started to contact the Writers Guild, you know?"

A shrewd glint flashed in Jon's eyes.

"Daniel, you've been keeping a close eye on this. Right? And act like you don't care, you're cunning enough. ”

"It's just slander, how could I not care about the strike, DD, MGM. Every day we are waiting for a screenwriter - of course we have reserves, but that is not always the solution. ”

Jon. Landau didn't get a word from him, in fact. There is no need to do this, in the end, several major studios still have to move in unison, and there is nothing Daniel can do at this point. But he actually decided to do something, of course, he can also dodge, you know, DD Pictures, which is prepared in advance, is the company that is not afraid of strikes in the whole of Hollywood.

Taking MGM as an example, its two blockbuster films, the 22nd episode of the "007" series, and the first script of "The Hobbit" have been completed, and the sequel to "Dance Out of My Life" and "Magic Mike 2" are also ready, and even the conditions of the script have been relaxed, and a lot of potential scripts and IPs have been stored.

Even, some media claimed that DD Pictures had received news from the Writers Guild in advance.

Of course, this is unverifiable. However, DD Pictures has become much more relaxed because of this, and there is no doubt about it.

Under this premise, Daniel's operating space is relatively large.

This time, he attended the premiere of "Juno", which is not very realistic to say that he was not prepared for anything. But whether he can do it or not, this is not something he can fully control, after all, in the face of personal interests, it doesn't matter if you are Daniel. Sandler is still some small person, but the effect is actually not much.

……

After an interview with the creator, Daniel. Sandler was interviewed by the group.

Everyone's faces were filled with an expression of excitement that "finally got you".

"Hello Daniel, how much do you expect from Juno's box office?"

The reporters didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask the most important question, but they were still very face-saving, and first asked about the topic of "Juno".

"I'm sure people will love her. She's cool and powerful, isn't she? The director, screenwriter, and actors are all brilliant and amazing, and they deserve to be welcomed for their dedication to a wonderful work. ”

"So, Daniel, Megan. Has Fox seen the movie? Does she like it? ”

"Huh?" Daniel smiled and shook his head, "She shouldn't have seen it, as for whether she likes it, you can help me ask after she sees it." ”

After a few circles of box office and scandals, finally, the reporter of the Los Angeles Times couldn't help it.

"Daniel, did you just say that you have a lot of confidence in "Juno" because talk shows and TV shows have been shut down because of the writers' strike, and everyone is eager to see more good movies? What do you think about this? We know that the writers, as well as some of the actors, continue to hope that you can come out and support them, but as the owner of DD Pictures, your attitude is the same as that of the Filmmakers Association, right? And, George. Clooney, Tom. Hanks and others are trying to mediate for both sides, do you have any plans to do so? Do you have a specific plan? ”

"Ah," Daniel laughed for a moment, "this journalist friend asked a lot of questions, and I can't remember them all." But I will try my best to answer you one by one, "Juno" is a competitive film at all times, and I am confident in that. With regard to strikes, I think that it is a right to express demands, and of course, I hope that when all parties fight for their own rights, they can also take into account the rights of other people, especially the viewers, who, as you said, are already getting tired of boring TV shows and repetitive episodes, and it is not good for anyone.

And then it's my attitude, right? I support the two sides in making more efforts to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Finally, will I intervene? ”

Speaking of the last question, Daniel paused, and finally nodded.

"Yes, I'm going to try to do that, the strike has been going on for a month now, and it looks like it's going on, and I hope to be able to resolve this before the second Social Age Public Choice Awards."

"You're saying you're going to mediate next?"

The reporter who asked the question just now repeatedly confirmed that this is amazing, and for a month, Daniel has remained in a state of seclusion, and everyone thought that he was going to be silent to the end.

Once again, Daniel gave him a definite answer.

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
