Ace Hollywood

Chapter 186: captain of liberty

Daniel uses a Yahoo email address that shows 104 unread emails.

In general, private phone calls are not easily circulated, while private mailboxes are not so easy to keep secret, because phone calls are generally considered to be more private and mailboxes are much more open.

As a result, Daniel's private mailbox is always full, and people from various channels send things to it.

A director who wants to get investment, a screenwriter who wants to be made into a movie, an actor who wants to pay for a famous body -- with R-rated photos, all in all, it takes twenty minutes to throw this junk mail in the trash, and he has to avoid it. Be careful to delete important emails.

"This little girl," Daniel looked at the email with a headache.

Amanda Seyfried, since the last time she announced at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" audition that she will strive to be Daniel's wife, she has sent Daniel some personal thoughts, small things in life and so on. Daniel assures that this must be the mailbox Jerry gave her.

At the beginning, with the mentality that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and he did have a lot of things before, so he didn't reply to these emails. As a result, the little girl actually went to visit the class of "Fake God". Chaos, but he was very compatible with Amanda, and he betrayed him a lot.

Later, he began to occasionally reply to one or two letters, and Amanda was easily satisfied.

Due to Daniel's special circumstances and encounters, he has hardly experienced the mental changes of young Hollywood dreamers - from high-spiritedness to self-doubt. From decadence to loss, to Nirvana and rebirth, the process seems to be now. Actually very interesting. Amanda obviously regarded him as a tree hole, and her mood changes at work poured into him unabashedly.

"I went to the audition today. The director is a squinting goldfish-eyed Texan. I almost spit yesterday's hamburger on his bald head."

"Hey, many times today, maybe I really have no talent?"

"I'm so **** off, the actor I'm cooperating with is just a pig. It's actually dicked fifteen times, doesn't the director know to throw him into the sea. Then change to another person."

"It went well today, and the producer said I've improved a lot."

"Do you know? Do you know? Today our executive producer mentioned you. Well, it's just to teach us young actors that we are not geniuses like you. We don't have the face like you, if we don't work hard enough, we will Never delusional success, although he was scolded badly, but he said it all makes sense, but Daniel, you are really good, you are the role model and idol of all the young actors I have met."

"Daniel, I heard that Scarlett Johansson is the same agent as you? Is your agent willing to accept new clients? If not, can you let him kick Scarlett away?"

It's no small matter. No cover up.

Looking at Amanda's emails every night has almost become Daniel's major pastime, but she has never given up on declaring her "future Daniel's wife" status. This gave Daniel a bit of a headache.

Shaking his head, he pulled the mail to the group.

Raymond's financial documents are typically full of data, bar charts, pie charts, line charts, and it took Daniel a while to learn to understand them. Of course, these are no longer a problem now - generally speaking, a person's level of contact and his various abilities will be subtly matched, and it is difficult for a person who can't eat three meals a day to understand the fund's financial report. Is not it? Daniel's gradual involvement in the investment field is also based on the growth of his wealth. subject to investment needs.

During the day, Raymond called Daniel and spoke briefly.

This is a report on Apple. Daniel sold Apple's stock a few months ago. At that time, the first one was because Apple's stock price was in a wild swing and was less investable, and Apple's stock during this period did Too much volatility; the third is because he plans to transfer money to mb's account to cover mb's development needs. Of course, Apple's growth is still certain, and Daniel has the opportunity to continue to buy in the later period.

As a result, mb made a breakthrough in the profit point and survived by himself. Now the situation is getting better and better. This money has only made some short-term investments in Raymond's hands in the past few months, and the income is not particularly impressive. When Daniel was filming "Fake God", at the end of September, Apple had already experienced a decline of about 45% - which was a bit of a surprise, because Jobs launched a siege and beat Sony's walkman to the north. , but the stock market went against the trend. After Daniel shot the Apple stock, it began to fall rapidly. Until the end of September, Raymond bought the dip-in this time, the Apple stock was fried. With a profit of tens of millions, he originally held nearly 4 million ordinary shares, and each share was about 21 dollars at the time, worth 84 million. Now Apple's stock is only $11.50, and Raymond restarted 5 million shares intermittently, which cost only 57 million, and could not find a net profit of 27 million. However, the money has not been saved. Recently, Raymond and Microsoft finally negotiated and acquired 2.5 million shares from Microsoft at a price of $9. This investment cost 23 million.

At the beginning of the lawsuit between Apple and Microsoft, the two sides finally reconciled, and Microsoft even purchased 150 million shares of Apple to maintain the cooperation between the two parties. However, the newly inaugurated Microsoft Ballmer refused to continue to hold them. These stocks have been sold one after another in the past year or so, but Apple’s stocks have not been selling well recently, and Microsoft’s reduction in holdings itself is bad for Apple—— As soon as he sells, the stock price falls, and fewer people buy. So the price is much lower than the market price, and eating 2.5 million shares in one go is already a big taker.

In this way, Daniel already has 7.5 million shares of Apple shares, and this batch of shares will rise to more than 140 shares in 2008, which is more than one billion. Sometimes Daniel also wants to lie here, waiting for the wealth in his hands to appreciate in value, and then worry about his life.

But the unwillingness of being born again will always make this kind of signs quickly suppressed.

There is an opportunity to make a bigger career, whether it is in pure wealth, or in the film of interest, missed because of fear of challenges, laziness, lack of initiative, no matter what, Daniel can't pass his heart.

Therefore, these stocks, which are equivalent to huge wealth, will still be sold in the next two months-this is originally a dip, and then make a living money from Apple's wide-ranging fluctuations, plus Daniel The nearly 80 million that belonged to Daniel's investment department was distributed from "Greek Wedding" -- about 70% of this money will be settled before the end of the year, that is, 50,000,000, 60 million, and the follow-up accounts will be called in the next quarterly account period. The DVD, broadcast rights, post-advertising payments and other income will also be settled once before Christmas.

Therefore, in this oil speculation, Daniel could finally raise nearly 250 million yuan. Based on the 100% profit per barrel, this amount of money will be more than doubled. In the scale of hundreds of billions, although this cannot be said to be silent, it does not affect the overall situation.

He and Raymond have been busy with this matter in recent months, especially Raymond, money comes in from different channels, reasonable tax avoidance, legalization, and evasion of operational purposes, all of which can only be done by professionals In fact, Daniel just looked at the report and couldn't give any specific opinions.

In Hollywood by day and Wall Street by night, Daniel is quite used to it.

So joining the group "Pirates of the Caribbean" did not make him uncomfortable.

For the role of Captain Jack, he and Rob, Jerry, and even Robert, Iger and others have discussed what kind of image he should be.

Of course he knew the conservative praise of Jack created by Johnny Depp, the neurotic, sissy, tenacious, persistent and other Captain Jack Sparrow, dressed in a weird pirate-style costume, strange and unusual behavior, every kind of All very attractive.

However, when you want to grasp the core elements of this role.

The key word given by Robert is: a sense of drama.

The description given by Jerry is: anti-traditional

Rob's characteristics are: loneliness and gorgeousness

Daniel's own understanding of this role is based on the analysis of the previous work and his own understanding. He believes that it is: freedom!

At first, Gore Verbinski and Jerry were the same, but they were not fully recognized by Robert. Robert believed that the Jack Sparrow they intended to portray was not like a legend with a strong sense of drama, but rather like a lunatic— - Too much emphasis on differences, so as to ignore some of its own requirements.

To give a simple example~www.novelmt.com~ You want to eat a dinner that is completely different from others, but no matter how different it is, it must always be edible, can feed your stomach, not a stone, also It can't be a colorful pile of feces, you have to be able to eat it, otherwise the so-called difference is meaningless.

Of course, if Daniel hadn't stepped in, and with Robert's leadership qualities, he would have respected the professional opinions of Gore and Jerry, as they do now.

"I think whether it's offbeat, dramatic, lonely or gorgeous, it's just a way of expression. What kind of Sparrow is an offbeat Sparrow? A Captain Jack with a strong sense of drama is another What kind of image? A lonely captain, a gorgeous captain, and then what? The core thing of this character must be the soul of freedom. Because of the freedom of the soul, he can do whatever he wants, ignoring secular regulations, aesthetics, etiquette - so He looks very different. Free and different, like a Van Gogh appearing in a group of classical painting masters, this is the origin of the dramatic conflict of characters, and another kind of 'natural' appears in the world's 'natural', which is not very Is there a sense of drama? As for how to use the shape to publicize this freedom, it belongs to the technical category.

The core should be these two words: freedom. To be continued)
