The refugee camp on the Thai-Myanmar border is the largest of nine refugee camps in Thailand, and people in it often flee to Thailand because of instability in Myanmar. (..M)

Visiting the refugee camp is a very strange feeling for Daniel, and it is getting more and more strange.

When he first visited the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, he did feel sympathy for the refugees and was willing to provide them with some help, but he understood that more often, he just wanted to use these actions to shape the Personal image and company image. Being a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is not so much because of his intentional commitment to the issue, but because the title gives him a layer of divine light.

However, as the "Technology Benefit All Living Beings" Foundation has more and more projects around the world, and it has received more and more donations and spent more and more money, Daniel slowly changed his mind.

Although his life is not extravagant compared to some big stars and rich people, but he has a luxury house, a luxury car, can go to Hawaii or the Caribbean for vacation at any time, and can charter a plane to China... This makes him face some I did feel a sense of guilt when I prayed for a refugee who could drink some clean water and have a house that would keep out the wind.

Maybe he's getting older and softer.

The day after arriving at the refugee camp, Daniel visited a family of Karen people who had been walking for weeks in order to escape the corvee and atrocities in Burma - a little girl with big eyes, Chinma, whose legs are still not neat. , the refugee camp lacked adequate medical conditions, and she could not bear such a long walk, and her parents did not have the strength to help their three children.

Daniel sent her some pictures, and more supplies will be distributed by the refugee camp.

Chinma's eyes were still bright, and she couldn't see the sadness on her parents' faces. She happily flipped through the pictures above - some fairy tales written in Karen script, Danish, Chinese, Indian.

"Maybe we should provide them with some educational help."

"That's a big field." The Foundation's accompanying administrator, Sana from France, said with a heavy expression.

For a foundation, every decision to expand is critical. After all, it is an organization that accepts donations, and all expenditures must wait for verification and approval-previously, Plutos injected additional funds to get the foundation to agree to launch the "Giant Panda Survival Program", which was just a separate program, and It is in line with the foundation's development plan to extend in the direction of climate and environmental protection - but education is not, education is a powerful topic. UNESCO has been committed to doing this, but it is very demanding of foundations - not like endowment programs. An educational program requires human input, and it is difficult to ensure continuity.

Sana understands Daniel's mood, but as a professional, she must let Daniel restrain her kindness.

...

"12.24 million."

Daniel waited until the Los Angeles numbers.

"Bad Teacher" was officially launched on the 24th, with 3,249 screens. For a work with an investment of 20 million, the treatment is not low. Cameron Diaz and Daniel's appeal is full of power. This is the first time that MGM Pictures has been released since it was acquired by the film industry. It can be said that it has attracted the attention of countless people. Inside Hollywood, outside Hollywood, and even MGM's own people are watching, whether MGM under Daniel's rule can be reborn from the ashes.

from this angle. "Bad Teacher" is indeed entrusted with the task.

In fact, many people are quite puzzled why MGM insists on releasing "Bad Teacher" before "High School Musical", because it seems that the movie "High School Musical" has been regarded as a summer vacation due to the great success of the High School Musical Cup. The low-budget film that is most likely to break through. so. If MGM takes "High School Musical" as its first shot, it may be more beneficial to boost the confidence of all parties.

Daniel did get specific advice, but he ultimately rejected the idea.

Ron Mayer and Helen Dele were present, and it was a deputy in the distribution department who made this point.

"Yes, we have High School Musical now, and we know it's going to make money, so we have this opportunity to make sure MGM's first restructured film is profitable. But. I don't think MGM really needs to Do this." Daniel looked at MGM executives old and new with a sincere expression, "We shouldn't be afraid of failure, let alone adjust plans for a meaningless start. After so many setbacks at MGM, It should be stronger, not timid. Bad Teacher may fail, but so what? Who hasn't failed in Hollywood studios?"

"No," Meyer added.

Daniel laughed with everyone, "Yes, but there are only so many films made, so it doesn't have a chance to fail yet, with more and more projects, failure is inevitable. No one can succeed all the time, Daniel **** can't either. So, I can understand the idea of ​​adjusting the schedule, but I'm reluctant to do it, because I want MGM to say goodbye to fear and become really strong -- strong enough to ignore the possibility of failure."

The numbers Mayer gave him obviously basically showed that "Bad Teacher" was a success. As for how far it can reach, it depends on the next results.

But soon, three days later, the first weekend box office was released. "Bad Teacher" ranked first this week with 43.33 million, only $30,000 more than "Remote for Life", which was also released in the first week. The "Remote Control of Life" starring comedy king Adam **** and "Pearl Harbor" actress Kate Beckinsale, scored 43.3 million in the first weekend, with a first-mover advantage of more than 500 screens. Still chopped down by Bad Teacher. As for the third-place "Cars", it took in $34.64 million, a figure that helped bring its total to 160,000. Three weeks after its release, it can only be said that Pixar is not satisfactory-it is impossible to surpass "Wall-E", and "Superman Returns", which was released in advance, has not been fully fired.

Strength + luck, scored a weekly championship for "Bad Teacher".

The Hollywood Reporter covered this week's box office with "Bad teachers cuter than remotes." And "Entertainment Weekly" has no bottom line with the title "Daniel killed Adam **** off the court", deliberately provoking controversy.

After the news that "Bad Teacher" and "Remote for Life" were released on the same day, the dispute between the two Sandlers was caught by the media.

Although Daniel has never had a chance to respond, and Adam also said that "I hope everyone can have good grades" to calm the situation, the comedy king and the almighty king in the field of comedy compete in the field of comedy - even though Daniel did not appear in "Bad Teacher" at all, still Excited to many people. Adam is a rare top actor in the comedy field in recent years. He is also a member of the 20 million club and a frequent visitor to the top ten stars in the Forbes list. Such an opponent can basically be compared with Daniel.

You know, as Daniel becomes stronger and stronger, there are fewer and fewer people who can compete with him. After all, if it is something like the new Superman Braden Ross, no one would think that he and Daniel are qualified to be together - what else is there to see.

"Entertainment Weekly" did its best to incite in its reporting.

"Although, we can't ignore Cameron Diaz's advantage over Kate Beckinsale, but considering the situation that Daniel **** didn't go off himself at all, he was just standing behind the scenes. Maybe Adam **** The advantage is even greater, and the original theater chain obviously saw it this way before - they gave "Remote for Life" 3,700 screens, but only gave "Bad Teacher" 3,200. Daniel's shadow played against Adam himself, Everyone seemed willing to take Adam's side.

When the box office figures were revealed, "Bad Teacher" outperformed "Remote for Life" by a slight margin of $30,000, I think this group of people should understand that even if Daniel is just a shadow, he is not so easy to deal with. They need to pay a little price for their contempt. Brendan Ross, who succeeded the deceased Christopher Reeve and starred in the new Superman, has not yet been fully released, but the gap of nearly 10 million may not explain the problem.

Now, Hollywood may need to refresh its concept: Daniel produced but did not appear in the film, when calculating the box office potential, should add a member of the 20 million club, or, Daniel's shadow is a new 20 million club member. In addition to this, everyone should also admit that Daniel's unbeaten legend is not a legend at all, but because his influence has been strong enough to cover the works he invested in, which has helped those works to be successful. "

This exaggerated report by Entertainment Weekly certainly does not represent mainstream Hollywood thinking, and no one thinks that Daniel's films should be given special treatment. The success of "Bad Teacher"~www.novelmt.com~ is more due to the subject matter and Cameron's credit. But to say that this did not touch some people at all would be an incomplete statement.

Especially some who are swinging.

For example, Fox, they are in talks with the film industry to shoot a sequel to "Night at the Museum", and now they may hope that they can get back as much of the investment as possible.

Even though "Fantastic Night" hasn't hit theaters yet, that has no bearing on Fox's decision not to. If the first film fails, then the second film will not start, and the agreement is waste paper. If the first film is successful, a larger investment ratio means more income. And in the third case, when it becomes a chicken rib, presumably the film industry will not use the investment ratio to drain Fox's cash flow - there is no obvious benefit, is it?

In addition to "Wonderful Night", Fox's masterpiece "Avatar" has also reached the moment when a final decision is required.

Whether to do it on his own or pull in together is a difficult question for Murdoch. (To be continued.)
