Ace Hollywood

"So, you decided?"

Daniel nodded, "Maybe this is our helpless choice today, but it may give us a big surprise in the future."

Robert Iger's residence in Los Angeles is also quite luxurious. Although it is not as big as Daniel's new house, the decoration is much more exquisite than Daniel's.

Daniel was invited to Robert's house, to his surprise.

Robert must have known about Jerry and Gore's choices, and even their connection to Depp. In the end, all that was left was to notify Disney, yes, basically just notification. This is not a question of power, but of specialization. This project is handed over to Jerry. Of course, Disney still retains the greatest right to speak, but it is rarely used to deny the producer.

But even so, Robert invited Daniel to his house—a sign of intimacy.

"It seems that you have no intention of giving up Jack." Robert smiled unabated, "I'm surprised that you are so optimistic about this movie."

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be so persistent." Daniel would not deny that he has done so much work, and everyone can see what he thinks.

"However, Jerry and Gore have already made a decision, and even I can't deny them. After all, they are the ones who actually made the movie." Robert said frankly. Indeed, any action of Robert will increase his pressure, this is Disney's attempt to get out of the family movie, the pressure is already very high, "However, you decided to come to see me, I want to hear how you plan to convince me. ?"

"I can share 30% of the investment, and I am willing to let Disney give priority to recovering the investment cost."

Daniel's voice was not particularly loud, it seemed that he was just talking about common things.

But Robert's expression clearly showed that this was not the case at all.

"What did you say?"

"Isn't Disney worried about the risk of this attempt? I believe Robert is also worried about this. You are working with Jerry's company to reduce this risk, right? Then, my conditions must be very sincere."

One third, that is, nearly 35 million investment, which is definitely a big deal.

Thirty-five million dollars is enough to invest in a mid-production movie, and the budget for the sequel to Legally Blonde is no more than that.

And the most important condition is yet to come, allowing Disney to recoup its investment.

That is to say, before Disney recovers the cost, DD Pictures will not take a penny. This kind of investment partner is simply too popular.

Disney's risk is almost arguably minimized.

Robert looked at Daniel in amazement. He knew that Daniel had invested in two movies, which amounted to more than ten million yuan. Now he also proposed that he could spend thirty-five million yuan. Where did he get the money?

The mysterious fog on Daniel's body made Robert a little unclear.

After the conditions were released, all Daniel had to do was to wait for Disney's decision.

……

It was three days later when Jerry and Gore got the news.

Robert, who unified Disney's internal opinions, announced the decision to them.

"We will invest in this series with DD Pictures."

"DD Films?"

Gore asked with a frown. He didn't know the studio, but was unhappy that the investment was still changing.

But Jerry Bruckheimer knows the company, after all, he owns a studio and has been working with Disney for several years — and will continue. Importantly, this company belongs to Daniel Sandler.

Too capricious.

Jerry had to sigh.

For a role, spend 35 million.

What kind of state of mind is this.

Moreover, Daniel's ability to gather money is too surprising. The one million of "Gladiator" is considered to be his beginning to make money. The remuneration of several films plus the dividends of "Pretty Beauty" has indeed reached more than ten million. Burberry's endorsements also don't make much money. In addition, Daniel's business event price has been maintained at a high level for a long time, and his attendance density is also quite high - this is young people, flying around, all over the United States , and even make money all over the world.

However, all this is the initial income. He needs to support a team and distribute it to CAA and brokers. He also bought tens of millions of mansions and millions of cars.

Where does the money come from?

It is only possible to invest!

Is Daniel still a financial genius?

Of course, Jerry would not know the theorem that the reborn can eat for a lifetime.

However, since Jerry knew the news, the ball returned to him - he continued to oppose Daniel's role, and then the two sides competed, either Jerry was proposed to the project, or Daniel recovered his investment. Jerry thought about it, and realized that he had no chance of winning.

He is a gold medal producer with countless successes, but the recent "Pearl Harbor" encountered Waterloo, and Michael Eisner even resigned because of this opportunity. He received not much criticism, but it was definitely not without. At this time, the board of directors, or As for how Robert would choose, he was not sure.

A love for movies and an amazing talent will not let Jerry run amok in Hollywood. First of all, he must be a person who knows how to judge the situation.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to choose who.

When Disney accepted Daniel's investment, everything was settled.

Now, for Jerry, convince Gore Verbinski and say sorry to Depp.

……

"Why? Depp is the most suitable candidate, but if you have to say that Daniel can't do it, it's not convincing." Jerry was very surprised by Gore's stubbornness, "Daniel's performance so far is obvious to all, his malleability is very high, I don't believe you can ignore this completely. So are you being challenged for authority, or something else?"

To be honest, Gore didn't know exactly what he was thinking.

After hearing the news from Robert, Gore has been in a state of anger and confusion.

He has never tasted or seen this kind of ruthless trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the pot. He has never tried to force the hero through investment.

Gore had no idea that Daniel could do such a thing.

What he was sure of was that he couldn't make the movie in this state.

And he had never felt so clearly his own insignificance, and that movies were, after all, money games.

Gore's exit was not that serious. If you don't want to get revenge, everyone in the media knows how to say it. The contact between Jerry and Daniel has been reported in the newspapers, but not on Depp's side. No one will know these messy inside stories. Those in the know wouldn't want to offend Disney, Jerry, and all of Daniel.

After Robert, Jerry, and even Daniel's personal persuasion failed, Daniel felt guilty but resolutely proposed to re-select the director.

For Gore, the most memorable work in his life just passed by, maybe he will have other encounters, but the pirates have nothing to do with him.

"Rob Marshall?"

Daniel is now the second largest investor and actor, and participates in the discussion of the project. Because this is completely personal investment, David's participation is closely related to providing a team, investing in a movie, and each link needs to have his own people. Otherwise, it is impossible to confirm where the money you invested has gone, and whether the money you earned has been swallowed. DD Pictures charges a service fee, and the investment counts as Daniel's personal.

"You throw more than 30 million all at once, and I will become a part-time worker immediately. This is not good. This is my career and dream." David said this to Daniel with his chicken coop head serious, so he did not The only way is to follow David's advice. Because he really doesn't want to take away David's dream, this black guy is becoming consistent with the Hollywood elites, he is constantly learning and gaining experience, and with the luck bestowed by God, he should enjoy the joy of dream come true, not just money. In Daniel's sporadic memory, there are many things that he doesn't have the energy to do himself, and can be operated by David. After all, a person's energy is limited, and the investment field is becoming more and more important. At the beginning, he did not expand to today. The idea of ​​this level, but with the development of MB and Raymond's professionalism, he has more and more sites in this field, and he needs to spend more and more energy and time. In addition, movies that need absolute attention, Social affairs, running a film company was too much for Daniel. Moreover, David outperformed all professional managers and collaborators when it came to being completely trustworthy.

Daniel threw out the director candidate for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series after Gore's withdrawal, and he felt that there should be no problem in letting him shoot the first film.

Jerry is worthy of being a Hollywood veteran, and he actually knows about this little-known director.

"The director Harvey hired to shoot "Chicago" used to shoot commercials and TV." Jerry frowned and thought for a while, wondering why Daniel recommended him.

Daniel himself had no reason, but Jerry actually thought of one for him.

"Chicago is Miramax's key project. If he wins some awards at the Oscars, Rob will easily become a popular director. We have a popular protagonist, and then a popular director will save a lot of publicity expenses. ."

But Robert thought deeply. Miramax is a company owned by Disney. Of course, he knows the Weinstein Brothers' positioning of "Chicago", and he also understands the reason why Rob Marshall was selected. What Jerry said seems ridiculous, but it's actually very realistic. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the gorgeous classical musicals like "Chicago" are very consistent with some of the positioning of "Pirates of the Caribbean". As long as he works **** the screenwriter to make up for the novice's control, coupled with the gorgeous scenes and compact performances he is good at, he may not be a suitable candidate.

The most important thing is that Jerry is very strong, Daniel is an investor now, and he has a lot of right to speak. He directly pays attention to himself in the film. Of course, Robert knows better, so it is necessary to find a director who is not so famous. At this time, he was a little thankful for Gore's introduction, otherwise the crew would not be quiet in the future.

"Jerry, I think it can be considered. You can get to know Harvey and talk to him to see if it is suitable."

Jerry is not very familiar with Rob himself, but he knows that Robert is also very concerned about "Chicago". Since he thinks Rob is also a suitable candidate, of course Jerry will not refuse to try it.

……

The time is actually very short. When Daniel invests in and Depp is out, and the dust settles, even the Oscar nominations have not been announced.

Therefore, the emotional changes of the parties involved were very intense.

Daniel himself is no exception. It is a bit stressful to decide to invest so much and to get Gore out of the game. Although he doesn't think Gore is a necessary factor for success, changing history is always unsettling. But thinking that I am also a variable, I had to let go of my worries.

Jerry doesn't need to say, shaking to and fro, and making peace on multiple fronts is also exhausting.

Gore, who has already been out, did not file a lawsuit with Disney, but took an appropriate compensation for a new project. Daniel doesn't know what he thinks, but he will definitely not feel good.

All that's left is Johnny Depp.

When Jerry called to say sorry and informed Gore that he couldn't continue to participate, Depp felt that his mind really couldn't move.

However, he also asked who the male protagonist chose.

As a result, he was even more heartbroken to this day.

How did this magic come about~www.novelmt.com~ He didn't know yet. According to Tracy's inquiries from inside Disney, Disney's new CEO was very fond of Daniel, even at the expense of changing the director.

Depp thought maliciously in his heart that Daniel might have become Robert Iger's little wolf dog, otherwise, how could Disney be so **** Daniel.

Depp and Tracy were stunned for ten minutes before they became angry.

But Jerry and Gore's words were all verbal, and even Jerry didn't give a clear response at all. The confirmed words came out of Gore's mouth. This is an experienced gold medal producer. How to cheat actors, how to cheat Investors are more skilled than anyone else. But now Depp has nothing to do.

He really lost to Daniel **** this time.

It wasn't until he had to admit that he lost to Daniel that Johnny Depp realized how incredible it was. In just three short years, he was stopped at Tracy's door by a word. If he hadn't chosen Cusa Damon, and the opportunities were endless, Daniel, who might have been completely insulated from Hollywood or wasted another ten years, is now competing with him for the role. , and won the battle.

Depp has never encountered such a thing in so many years.

Thinking of what happened to Joaquin Phoenix and Matt Damon at the beginning, Daniel's journey can be regarded as God blocking God, Buddha blocking Buddha, no one can be.

If it weren't for this kind of xinxing, there would be no such achievement.
