Ace Hollywood

DD Pictures spent 35 million and the industry giant Walt Disney to create a special effects blockbuster with Disney's pirates theme, which has a considerable degree of shock to the entire Hollywood production pattern. Stars and producers have their own studios , This is not a particularly rare thing, but it is very rare to invest more than 30 million in a single chip. Even some fairly supportive independent studios, such a handwriting is very generous.

From unremarkable little actors to famous super idols, from the youngest best supporting actor to win the Oscars, to spending millions of dollars to team up with IFC, MGM and Walt Disney, this is what Daniel can't believe. The development trajectory of , anyone who sees this trajectory will inevitably be dumbfounded.

The producers of "School Blues", Michael, Derek Lane, Peter Jackson and Francis, and even Ridley Scott are Daniel's strong partners and nobles along the way. Likewise, that Daniel can't remember The little guys - the fat boy who competed with him for the role of Billy in "School Blues", as well as Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Damon and their agent Philip, and now Johnny Depp and Trey West Jacobs, these are the opponents who have witnessed his success.

Of course, no one would announce that Daniel will become a new force in Hollywood at this moment. After all, his most likely path is to lose all his money. But this kind of experience and development is almost a little legend in itself.

……

"Hey, Daniel, are you and Collins open?"

"Miss Borsh, are you two lovers now?"

A group of reporters surrounded Daniel and Collins who got out of the car. They were just going out for a tour of Los Angeles today. The paparazzi with the nose like a dog have mastered the road map.

Phil refused to ride with them. At this time, he was still relatively leisurely, and his eyes flew around watching the beauties in early spring in Los Angeles.

Daniel and Collins just smiled, didn't speak, and didn't hold hands or snuggle. In the end, this kind of photo can't characterize the relationship.

The paparazzi are not completely angry because of this specious photo, they think that Daniel will be more and more difficult to deal with is the most important.

Now Daniel has basically been able to ignore the paparazzi, eat, travel, and talk to people under the watchful eye of the paparazzi, which is not difficult.

"Aren't you a little uncomfortable?"

Collins had no intention of concealing her feelings of timing, she nodded, "Yes, very uncomfortable."

Phil looked at Daniel with sympathy, "It turns out that big stars are not so easy to be in, like imprisonment. I can't live a life like this."

"In the afternoon, I'll take you all to visit the director of The Lord of the Rings, Peter and his wife Fran."

Both Phil and Collins' eyes lit up.

The trend of "The Lord of the Rings" is also quite intense in Europe, and it is worth getting excited for Fair and Collins to have a glimpse of the director's true face.

The reason why Daniel took them to visit Peter was not entirely to satisfy the idea of ​​a small fan, but to be invited by Peter Jackson. Recently, "The Lord of the Rings" was a big hit, but Peter Jackson was not particularly happy, or to be precise. is not entirely happy. Because New Line was delaying the division of accounts, Robert Shayer defied all opposition to hand over the masterpiece to Peter Jackson, and handed a special effect to Weta Digital, which was co-created by Richard Taylor, Peter and others. ——You know, this company only produced one movie at the beginning, that is, "Angel of Sin", Kate Winslet's first work. Even so, Robert Shayer made a decision. Now it seems that this decision will never succeed again. The magnificent and graceful Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings" makes everyone fascinated. Behind this achievement, it represents the first-class technical strength of Weta Digital, especially From Daniel's point of view, it was very surprising. Because even after more than ten years, there is no special effects company of this level in China - usually people call the special effects in TV series and movies "fifty cents special effects" to refer to the crude and unacceptable special effects of special effects.

However, the original wise decision did not last after the success. It is very reasonable to say that we can share weal and woe, but cannot share wealth.

The post-production costs that New Line was supposed to pay Weta Digital were in installments, and they were split at the box office. It amounts to some kind of investment, after all Peter is the director. But now, the Lord of the Rings has been online for three months, and the total box office has exceeded 280 million in North America and 650 million in the world. According to Shanying Company's estimates, 300 million is destined to be trampled underfoot by "The Fellowship of the Ring". And a movie with more than 300 million yuan can really be remembered in film history, not to mention the good reputation of "The Fellowship of the Ring". So far, its judges on IMDB are still above 9 points, let alone It swept the actor, actress and movie charts. The applause is very vivid in "The Fellowship of the Ring", and nothing can compare with it in recent years.

Daniel himself has benefited from it.

"The Fellowship of the Ring" itself doesn't have a special core starring role. Viggo Mortensen, who plays Aragorn, is not that charming uncle. He is not well known. Even after the movie became a big hit, he didn't take advantage In the plan to make himself a popular star, compared to Hollywood's fame and fortune, his favorite is poetry and distance - he is a poet and photographer. Aside from his accident, Elijah is still a child star, and Ian McLean, what else could an old Mike like him think of? As for the lady Liv Tyler, although the popularity is not low, she really lacks a good team - the appearance is not the most important thing, makeup artists, stylists, and even cosmetic doctors can help her. But without this heart, no one can help. "The Fellowship of the Ring" has only been released for so long, and when Liv attended the event, she was already a lot more bloated than when she was filming.

To put it more seriously, she lacks the most basic respect for the audience. As a star, isn't it her duty to dress herself neatly and pleasing to the eye? Even a man like Daniel, who is God's reward for his food, is always impeccable every time he goes out, whether it is a meeting or a job. The so-called "most decent man in Hollywood" is not out of thin air, and Burberry's endorsement will not be given to one. Sloppy ghost.

So, in this number, 80% of the bonus to the actors in the whole "The Fellowship of the Ring" falls on Daniel.

This can also explain how the Legolas storm that swept the world was formed.

This is of course the reason why Peter Jackson invited him today instead of Viggo Mortensen and Ian McLean.

After spending an afternoon with the paparazzi, Daniel and the Bolshes set off together. Now the paparazzi in the United States are not so eager to pursue Daniel as before, and there will be no shortage of people for about 24 hours, because the strict guard is too strong, and there is no information to dig, unless he exposes it himself.

For example, investing in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the legendary dispute with Depp, so far no one has been able to get a word out of his team's mouth.

How abominable such people are, they simply don't give food to the paparazzi.

This time they have already taken the same frame photo of Daniel and Collins. Thinking about it, they can't get further evidence when Daniel doesn't plan to admit it publicly. So everyone withdrew and went back to do business.

……

Peter looked a lot thinner than the last time we met, and of course he was fat. But Daniel really knew what it was like for Peter to lose weight. Later, when he filmed "King Kong", he lost a lot of weight. Apart from his beard, he looked like a director with quite an idol temperament. " came out, he gained weight again, and it got worse.

Francis has not changed, he is still gentle and calm, and this is a terrible writer.

"This is Collins and Fair. They liked The Fellowship of the Ring very much, so I brought them to visit the creator of the movie."

"I'm afraid you like more than movies, right?"

Although Peter didn't look very good, he didn't intend to spread this decadent atmosphere to the corners.

"No, no, at least I only love movies, and I can only love movies." Phil hurriedly cleaned himself, and was stunned by Collins.

Francis served them coffee. "Sounds like gossip isn't just gossip?"

"Fran~www.novelmt.com~ You can't be like those women who like to talk."

"Then, isn't it?"

Daniel glanced at Collins feebly.

Collins nodded generously, "My pursuit has now paid off."

"To let such a beautiful girl take the initiative to pursue you, Daniel, is not a gentleman's behavior."

Francis sat next to Collins, "I love Porsche, but I never thought I'd be able to sit with someone from the Porsche family one day. Do you want me to tell you something interesting about the filming of The Fellowship of the Ring? Like the Elf incident or something. ."

Collins and Phil's eyes lit up.

After several rounds of heated public opinion, the story of Daniel being pretended to be a genie is now widely circulated. Many people are very curious about the few magical legends in the history of the film, and of course Collins and Fair are no exception.

Peter Jackson invited Daniel to the study to talk about "business".

"Haven't you reached an agreement yet?"

There was a gleam of anger in Peter's eyes. Peter was different from Jerry Bruckheimer. The latter was quite smooth. Although he was also obsessed with movies, he didn't feel too upset because of this kind of thing. But Peter is different. He is a fan of "The Lord of the Rings", and is almost obsessed with special effects and imagination, so when he encounters such "vulgar things" again, he feels very uncomfortable.

"That old **** never thought about compromise at all. Damn it, it would be great if it hadn't been filmed three times at a time. Now there's no room for negotiation."
