"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is the first in the series. Of course, so far, there are only three in the series, and the later "The Hobbit" series has no plans to come out.

After all, not everyone is as aware of the greatness of The Lord of the Rings as Daniel.

"The Fellowship of the Ring" is scheduled to be released in December 2001, and it is too early to enter the promotion, but the first trailer will be released at the end of this year, so make some news ahead of time, so as not to affect the pace of the new line of the distribution company.

This matter cannot start with Jones. The Los Angeles Times, as a large newspaper with millions, is not something that Jones can control at will. However, due to the agreement of cooperation between the two parties, Cusa promised to hand over the final announcement to Jones if the momentum reached expectations.

Only with contacts can we work together for a long time, otherwise Cusa would have a comfortable part-time job—a body seller.

Fred was a real manipulator, and while Daniel was in New Zealand, Cusa and Fred had plenty of time to talk about the manipulator team they built—the dirty power behind the internet.

Kusa paid Fred's team $1 million to have control of the team, and Fred became the manager of Daniel's team and was in charge of online things - not only the hype news, of course, but also the previous Daniel's suggestion. The set of data segmentation theory that came out.

In the final analysis, what Fred needs to do is how to effectively push and even influence people on the Internet.

This job is extremely complicated. The one million that Kusa paid in advance can only maintain a necessary team. With the promotion and development of the Internet, the pressure is bound to increase. At that time, they will need more investment.

However, Daniel's team is still very poor.

Even this million was just credited to their account.

Yes, Cusa took on Legally Blonde.

The enthusiasm for Daniel at MGM and the cast of Legally Blonde is astonishing, and sometimes it does, when you want what you want, and what you don't like is handed to you.

After Cusa rejected MGM, the film's director, Robert, even called Cusa himself and asked him to interview.

Daniel does have a gap after March, but it's not long, because the publicity work of "Gladiator" is very heavy, especially as the key figure in this wave of publicity, Cusa and the distributor Universal Pictures have long been A detailed publicity plan, every move must ensure the greatest promotion of the film, and at the same time can not hurt Daniel's personal image.

So it was decided that before mid-August, Daniel had only a relatively continuous time between March and May to shoot a movie.

Legally Blonde accepted the schedule, and they agreed to focus Daniel's scene.

However, Cusa doubts whether Daniel's scene needs so-called centralized shooting.

This is a downright inspirational film for women. No matter how many scenes are added to Daniel, it cannot be changed, otherwise the whole project would not exist.

In addition, the sincerity given by the film party also includes raising the price to 2 million...plus a 5% North American box office commission!

When producer Ricky said this, Cusa was a little gaffe even as a young adult.

This means that MGM firmly believes that Daniel can boost the box office of "Legal Blonde" by more than 5%.

Cusa signed the film without hesitation.

If you don't consider that this is an inspirational movie for women, Kusa is quite optimistic about the movie itself, but the important thing is that this can create a precedent for Daniel, a precedent for opening up.

Although "Legal Blonde" is only a small film with an investment of 20 million, once the opening is opened, people will become accustomed to following the old rules.

Is the filmmaker of Legally Blonde really crazy? 2 million for a young man with only one supporting film, plus an extra 5% of the North American box office, if the box office is as they expected, 50 million, then that's 200 $500,000, added together, Daniel's worth for making this movie - skyrocketed to four and a half million.

Of course, the filmmakers weren't crazy. They approached Daniel very early, but they weren't as crazy as they are now. There's no question that the folks at MGM saw Ridley's Gladiator through some channels, and they got assurances from Daniel's performance, and they got some eyebrows about the promotional focus of Gladiator. So when all this information adds up, it's not hard to see why MGM is willing to bet heavily on Daniel.

Before August 2000, Daniel will have a long period of high-intensity exposure, a surge in popularity, and based on the popularity of his debut on the Internet, there is no doubt that his popularity and fan base will increase. , at that time he was no longer a newcomer with only one male supporting film, but a Hollywood superstar with a promising future and a bright future. Daniel's excellent performance in "Gladiator" will inject appeal to the new film, "Legal Blonde" is just a chick movie, no one expects to see any high-end performances in it, but Daniel will change this. An inertia of thinking.

This is still not all, if MGM chooses to release it in the summer of 2001~www.novelmt.com~ then "The Fellowship of the Ring" will also start its promotion, and "Legal Blonde" will be able to take advantage of the east wind. .

Dividing Daniel is more about his strong topicality and news in the next two years.

MGM is a clear-headed distribution company.

After a discussion with Daniel across the Pacific Ocean, Cusa decided to go ahead. First of all, Daniel had an impression of the film and knew that it should be surprisingly good at the box office. Secondly, being able to shoot a new film without too much pressure between the filming of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the promotion of "Gladiator" is good for his body and spirit.

In the plan, Daniel returned from New Zealand and joined the group to shoot "Pretty Beauty" until mid-April. If it goes well, then the global promotion of "Gladiator" will begin.

In the end, this extra plan is all about money, and Daniel's team is really short of money. Fred took one million as it should have been, the money was still lying in the bank account, and Cusa's mission had already arrived at Fred's mailbox.

He sorted out the ins and outs of the elf incident.

"This is an interesting thing." Fred thought for a moment, "No matter how similar it is, it must be a bit too much to be mistaken for a real elves. If we follow the New Zealand media and discuss the future of elves seriously I am afraid that the mystery will be seen through by everyone, it is better to deal with it with a lighter attitude, Americans are always happy to laugh at the ignorance of other countries, New Zealand is not a lot of votes - just hope not to make Peter Jackson unhappy."

Cusa endorses this strategy.
