When Daniel played again, Ridley, who was sitting behind the surveillance screen, keenly felt his change, and then Russell Crowe and Connie Nelson next to the scene, both of whom had more opposite scenes with Daniel, So when they looked at Daniel, they could clearly feel the unusual changes.

Commodius played by Daniel has a kind of vitality, even when he is crazy and gloomy, this vitality is also helping the character to be more vivid. This is a state that is difficult to describe. If forced To make an analogy that may be inappropriate, it may be said that: the previous Commodius was a group of various emotions, he was strong, heavy, and complicated; and the current Commodius is a person who has these emotions.

This sudden vigor made Commodius walk away from the rich and colorful handed down famous paintings.

Ridley was so excited that he even reshot a few scenes to make the whole show more unified.

The entire crew has become active again because of this change. Not long ago, Oliver Reed, who played the Colosseum businessman, died unexpectedly. This outstanding actor in his early 60s was in the 1970s. British fame, he was born in a successful show business family.

The departure of such a member made the entire crew feel a lot lower for a while.

Until Daniel's Commodius was injected with life, which became an opportunity to open up new emotions, everyone believed that Oliver must have hoped that his posthumous work would be an outstanding classic.

After continuing to shoot for two days, Daniel's shooting progress has been accelerated again.

Daniel took the initiative to mention to the director that he could film the scene of Commodius before he succeeded to the throne.

It was no longer a problem for him to break free from the former Commodius and then walk into the latter.

Sure enough, in the few scenes, Daniel performed with ease. At this time, Commodius was still a little dark seed. He clumsily wanted to show a good side, but this clumsiness was undoubtedly the A hint that he is not good at these, not good at war, not good at tolerance, not good at appreciation.

In general, he is a bit cute to be straightforward, and of course, it can also be said to be a bit stupid.

Daniel, who has broken through the barriers, has already been flattered by acting in this play.

Russell Crowe also has his own problems, but compared to Daniel, his problems are more normal. He has all the ability to play Maximus, but he can't fully play it. As the filming progressed, and under the influence of Daniel and Ridley's direction, Crowe also got closer and closer to Maximus.

For skilled actors, once they have mastered the essence of the role and have the performance skills to interpret this essence, everything will come naturally.

Therefore, the "Gladiator" crew, like most crews, ushered in the end when everyone's state was almost complete.

Daniel finished surprisingly early, before Connie Nelson, who played his sister Lucilla. Russell Crowe was unsurprisingly the last to end filming. But the main characters are only a day or two apart from each other, and no one has extra shots.

They finished in Italy, not Malta, which gave everyone the last chance to visit Rome.

Starting from the Colosseum, which is already very familiar, including the Senate that appeared in the movie, as well as the shrine, the Shrine of the Virgin and the Pantheon around the Colosseum. Then heading north, is the Parthian Arc de Triomphe - the glory of the return of Emperor Severus from his expedition. Opposite this Arc de Triomphe, that is, to the south of the Colosseum, is another Arc de Triomphe – the Arc de Triomphe of Titus, named after Emperor Titus – in memory of his great exploits in the eastern expedition to Jerusalem.

Next to the Triumphal Arch of Titus in the south, is the third—and the largest triumphal arch in Rome—the Arch of Constantine.

Apparently it was common for emperors to build triumphal arches to celebrate their exploits, but it did leave a huge and precious relic to the city of Rome.

Apart from these Arc de Triomphe and Arc de Triomphe, the most attractive thing to this group of people must be the museums in Rome. These museums collect countless art treasures from the Renaissance, each of which is rich in connotation and profound in meaning.

Daniel, Connie Nelson and Russell Crowe, who spent two days in Rome, and their assistants, certainly couldn't hide the whereabouts of this large group in Italy from the media.

The news of the completion of "Gladiator" soon spread back to the United States, and it was already early December. When Daniel flew back to Los Angeles, Cusa's mailbox was filled with a sudden increase in mail.

Activities, endorsements, film appointments, all kinds of invitations and contacts came one after another.

This is of course unexpected to many people. After leaving the United States for four months, it stands to reason that Daniel's popularity should have faded away most of the time, at least until the next work is released, there will be no more attention.

Lucky Boy is "disappointing" once again.

Daniel's personal blog still maintains a popularity of more than tens of thousands, and his website and public discussion board are still popular. People on the Internet don't seem to be as fickle and forgetful as they have been.

Although some young actors and comedians have also gained attention online, Daniel's fans are still huge and persistent.

They followed the filming process of "Gladiator" at length, discussing the words and pictures Daniel posted on his blog.

In particular, the funny photo with Russell Crowe has received unexpected fanatical attention.

The two of them were obviously in the same boat before "Gladiator" went to the Oscars, and maintaining a good relationship was beneficial and cost-effective. Russell Crowe likes to work on his farm in Australia, Keanu Reeves wants to live like a homeless, these can not be said to be completely out of their will, but the stars have something that makes people feel good or novel. Quirks can help them.

You know, Russell Crowe was born in a rock band.

Of course, Daniel and Connie Nielsen, and even Richard Harrison, have a lot of photos together. Taking a photo with Richard who plays Emperor Marcus, Daniel has a little bit of bad fun, because Richard will play his most high-profile work and role since his filming next year - the first of the "Harry Potter" series Headmaster "Dumbledore" in Part II and Part Two. Being able to take a photo with Dumbledore in advance is a joy that belongs to the reborn.

As for Connie Nielsen, Cusa and Daniel actually imagined that if the movie would have some news related to Daniel - most likely it would be his affair with Connie. Despite the fifteen-year age gap between Daniel and the Danish actress, Connie is well-maintained and the two do have an extraordinary relationship.

Therefore, it can only be said that the attention of netizens is extraordinary, whether it is now or fifteen years later.

Of course, this is not really unfounded. First of all, of course, it was Crowe. In the future, Chinese people like to call him Ke Fat. At this time, when he came to the United States from Australia, he worked with Sharon Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington and Al Pacino have teamed up for nearly every major award or nomination.

Is recognized as a superstar from Oceania after Mel Gibson.

Crowe is several mountains higher than Daniel in the eyes of the media, fans and industry insiders. It's understandable that Daniel's fans are keen to connect the two of them together.

Who doesn't want their idol to have friendship with someone who looks good.

Being a well-known celebrity in the industry was originally one of the symbols of star status.

But fortunately, Russell has the "reputation" of "heart killer", and the scandal objects include fellow countryman Nicole Kidman and Hollywood Bole Sharon Stone. profound. If it weren't for these scandals, maybe Daniel would have had the first same-sex scandal.

You know, like Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey and other big Hollywood stars, Crowe once played a **** man.

However, don't worry for now, everyone's attention is mostly on getting along well and appreciating each other. Because both Daniel and Russell Crowe have praised each other's acting skills on their personal web pages. Woolen cloth.

The news of Daniel's return to the United States also quickly spread on the Internet. Although the print media will be more and more behind the online media in the future, in the last month of the twentieth century, Daniel made this trend abrupt in advance.

When online news, communities, and discussion boards were all talking about him, Russell Crowe, and "Gladiator", the big newspapers didn't move much.

According to reason, the filming of "Gladiator" is completed in December, and even some CGI special effects production will be released at least half a year, which is also in line with Ridley's ambition to compete for the Oscar in 2001. So for Newspaper Weekly, the time for Gladiator has not yet come.

In their opinion, the Internet is just an unruly and traditional "external place".

However, merchants and investors have seen the power of the Internet.

That's why Cusa was surrounded by various invitations.

This made him unable to wait to introduce him to a new movie on the way to receive Daniel, "Remember Legally Blonde?"

"Hmm, the 400,000 one?"

"Yes," Cusa gestured to Andy, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and handed him a script to Daniel, "that's it, but the price is not what it used to be."

It has to be said that "Gladiator" has brought benefits to Daniel's eyes before it was released. Commodius' $1 million salary made Daniel's worth skyrocket.

Peter Jackson even said he picked up a bargain.

Yes, he did pick up a super bargain.

$70,000, what's the difference between it and free.

"Haven't they started filming yet?" Daniel flipped through the script of the woman's film. In fact, he was not very interested. He recalled it carefully later, "Legal Blonde" seems to be one of the few profitable films from MGM after 2000, and their confirmed star, Reese Witherspoon, also swept the United States after this film, and the remuneration was once Close to the 20 million club, and Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are evenly matched.

Daniel will remember the film and Reese, mainly because she also later won an Oscar for Best Actress.

But this movie has little to do with men, except for the boss of MGM.

If Daniel was asked to invest a sum of money, he would be very happy, of course, if he had money.

At this time, Daniel is always a little disappointed. He knows that some movies are destined to be successful, but there is no way to profit from them. There is of course something wrong with this logic - the wealth I know doesn't belong to me, it means I lose it. But what does logic count for the US dollar?

Cusa's answer to him is that the filmmakers are willing to wait for him, if Daniel can wrap up the filming of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by October next year.

This needs to be discussed with Peter Jackson, but it should not be a big problem. With Legolas' role, ten months should be more than enough. After all, Daniel is now different from the past, and he is forced to spend a lot in a role with a small role. For more than a year, that doesn't meet Hollywood's standards for talent use.

"Have you inquired about Reese's price?"

"Just like you were in "Gladiator", a million."

The price is not high. Although Reese is not well-known, she made her debut ten years ago. Although she studied in Mark's school, Stanford, it is still worth this amount.

Moreover, "Legal Blonde" is obviously a movie she absolutely starred in. In terms of the number of scenes, one million is definitely not too much. Although movies are different from TV, there is no saying that money is calculated by the number of scenes, but the more scenes, the higher the price, and it is natural.

"They've offered you one and a half million dollars, and they're willing to add some drama for you." Kusa turned to Daniel and raised his eyebrows, "but they ask you to confirm your intentions before you go to New Zealand. "To sign you before the release, which is the purpose of most recent scripts, if "Gladiator" doesn't fail miserably, your price tag will be more than so much, you are all smart people."

"Everyone wants to hitch a ride, as long as you hurry up, it can still be released before and after the Oscars, no matter what the final result of "Gladiator" is, of course, it is better to make a profit or lose money, so that there are news breaking points, they can be completely saved The next five million publicity expenses."

"Oh, Danny, are you interested in being a director or a producer? You know these things very well now. Andy, what do you think?"

Andy glanced at him and said nothing.

"What a boring little girl, have you never been invited to a party? Andy."

"I really don't want to be in the company of drugs, alcohol, and a group of men and women who don't love themselves." Andy glanced at Cusa again, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Hey, I'm a pure person."

"The only thing you have to do with purity is a degree from Duke University, the first for the Damon family in hundreds of years."

Daniel's eyes lit up, as if there was some gossip he could inquire about, "It sounds like you two know each other, hey, Kusa, is there any special purpose for you to introduce Andy to me."

"Purpose? I can even tell her the love action story with Jones. What purpose can I have." Cusa disagreed. "In a legal sense, we have nothing to do with each other. But in terms of blood, she is my uncle. My sister, my sister, but the custody of her until she reaches adulthood is with my uncle's ex-wife."

"This poor, mean little girl doesn't have much of a cold for her stepfather and mother, so she gets along rather miserably. Since I'm so beautiful now, it's normal to introduce her to a job."

Daniel could see that although Andy was a little rigid, his relationship with Cusa should be very good.

"However, why didn't you tell me this in the first place?"

"Andy hopes to be recognized by you with his own abilities, oh, by the way, do you recognize her now?" Kusa drove the car into CAA's garage, "Let's go to the office to see first, and then take you to Mali Bu, your little mansion, I've already had someone clean it. Oh, I'm such a competent agent."

"A competent agent will never keep chattering on the way a client is returning from afar." Andy pushed open the car door, "Mr. Daniel Sandler, I formally suggest that you kick this useless agent out."

"Miss Andy, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?"

"I'm more interested in Darwin's theory of evolution."

Daniel was happy to see the cousins ​​bickering. He was indeed a little tired and needed to be refreshed.

Of course, Cusa won't arrange any specific work today, so after Daniel took his seat, he just briefly introduced some movies that can be fought for recently.

"I think if the role is right, now you can audition for all the movies. We do want to thank Ridley Scott, how is your relationship with him?"

"Very good, he also invited me to participate in his next film." Daniel shook his head, "It's a story about the war in Mogadishu, and the script has already been written halfway."

"Are you interested?"

"If the script is suitable~www.novelmt.com~why not?"

"The male protagonist?"

"Maybe we will have to wait for the script to come out before we can decide the role. We'll talk about it later. Let me see your production list."

Cusa pointed him to a name, "This."

"Hotel Rwanda? My God, MGM wants to make this?" Daniel's shock is not without reason. Although "Hotel Rwanda" is just an ordinary movie title, the story it tells is unusual. Perhaps it is a The story is flippant -- it's actually a tragic history. One in five thousand of the world's population disappeared in the last two months of the first half of 1994, and nearly one million people lost their lives. This is a huge disaster in human history.

"The role they give you is a recorder -- a photojournalist, not so important."

"If it can be arranged, there is no problem in taking a month to do this work." Daniel handed back the brief script to Cusa, "It is very meaningful to be able to participate in such a movie."

"I also think so, at least when you want to do charity in Africa in the future, you can learn from a famous teacher."

Daniel glanced at him, "Cusa, you're a straight-up disgusting person. In the face of history like this, even if you have something else in your mind, you shouldn't say it."

Cusa laughed out loud, "Yes, Daniel, you have done a very good job. You are more and more like a big Hollywood star, kind, compassionate, and shining brightly."

"Okay, let me see something else. Is this, The Bourne Bourne?"
