Ace Hollywood

The more than two-month promotion period of the Gladiator made Daniel densely appear on traditional media such as TV, newspapers, magazines, roadside billboards, etc. Subtly, Daniel became familiar in the eyes of more and more people - this It is a step taken by the most popular Hollywood stars recently. It is very important for Daniel. Kusa once listed some of the most critical and difficult changes for him - if the Internet popularity and entertainment hotspots are transformed into real cognition Degree is one of them.

The promotion period of "Gladiator" really helped him a lot. In fact, if it was Joaquin Phoenix, he could not get the same attention. For Universal, Daniel's media value is not comparable to Joaquin, so they are in the The inclination of resources will be very different. Secondly, in this era, the entertainment industry has not yet clearly defined the Internet and reality. Daniel is "reputable" to some extent, and Universal also needs to rely on his popularity.

One of Melissa's most important tasks recently is to contact the media evaluation company and get various indexes such as Daniel's exposure.

"In these two months, you have probably walked the road of five years." Melissa habitually put the data table in front of Daniel. She and Kusa have completely different ways of working. Kusa likes to do things. After getting it right, and then reporting to Daniel, the two of them were not discussing specific matters, but planning and development direction. Melissa was the type who would report results or ask for opinions to Daniel in every detail.

In comparison, Cusa certainly made Daniel more worry-free. But this doesn't mean that Melissa's way of working is not good. It can only be said that if the habits are different, the division of labor between the client and the agent will be different. Since Melissa came to Daniel's side, Andy took over the arrangement completely. Regarding Daniel's daily schedule, Melissa is committed to contacting Daniel for film work, planning his personal image, and promoting Daniel's star effect.

As for Daniel himself, he began to really dominate his own future.

This was an excellent training opportunity for him. Universal's publicity staff assisted by the side, and CAA was not hindered for the time being - in fact, as the combination of Daniel and Melissa became more familiar with his work, the unity within CAA The alliance is gradually disintegrating. If "Gladiator" really makes Daniel soar, then the top partners of CAA will probably become a laughing stock. And looking at the current trend, the public has more room for Daniel than imagined, they pay attention to his news, pay attention to his performance, and even because he starts to understand the Internet - this is another surprise.

Among the older, more traditional crowds, they were indoctrinated—Daniel's point of view that everyone on the Internet knew, thus making Daniel synonymous with a certain facet of the Internet.

This is even gradually being detected by some companies in Silicon Valley.

"Gladiator" held its premiere in New York before its release - this time Universal did not hold the premiere in Hollywood, California, but came to New York, and I can't say that there are no other ideas.

Hollywood and New York are the two poles of American cinema. Whether to hold the premiere in Hollywood or New York often depends on what you want and what you lack. For "Gladiator", Russell Crowe's loss of the Oscar this year has already won him a sympathy point in Hollywood, and Universal, as an entrenched production and distribution giant, has a proud influence on Hollywood. Relatively speaking, the reputation of "Gladiator" in the New York critics is more important.

Therefore, Daniel saw Haven Rupert of The New Yorker, Kent Turan of The New York Times, Brent Coster of the New York Daily News, and so on, who are important figures in the New York film critics. In order to please these New Yorkers, Universal did not even invite Roger Albert to the scene, and of course they would not be negligent, a special copy and expensive viewing fee would be sent to Chicago.

Critics came a little later, because the premiere had earlier parts—like the red carpet.

After the red carpet, media reporters can move to the screening room to watch the film with critics, guests and creators. It is also the first time it has appeared in public.

Universal really attaches great importance to "Gladiator". The red carpet is star-studded. Meg Ryan, Neve Kebbell, Drew Barrymore and other actresses compete on the red carpet for their beauty and murder. . The climax is of course the creative team of "Gladiator".

Russell Crowe, Daniel Sandler, and Connie Nelson are undoubtedly important triangles.

Compared with the mature and **** Crow, and Connie Nielsen who shows a hint of oldness - you must know that once European and American women are old, they can't watch it. Connie is well maintained, but it is still difficult to hide the increasingly obvious. old. Of the three, only Daniel is a new face, at least for red carpet reporters.

Such a tall, strong, handsome and handsome little fresh meat can easily attract the camera.

There were many young girls screaming on both sides of the red carpet, blond or dark skin.

They do look too young, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old, but the frenzy on their faces is eye-catching. In the eyes of savvy media reporters, their attire shows that they have a good family background.

"New York Tribune" - a more serious, but also opened up the entertainment section of New York's national newspaper, its reporter Cowell noticed these people and was interested, and he decided to interview them.

"Hello, beauties."

Maybe it was the first time to be interviewed by a newspaper. The two little girls were a little nervous and excited, "Hello."

"I want to ask, are you from New York? Do you like this movie?"

"No, we're from Boston, and we came here to see Daniel. He's so handsome, isn't he? His movies must be amazing too."

"So, are you fans of Daniel Sandler? Have you seen his movies?"

"Not yet, we know about "School Blues", but it was no longer available in movie theaters by then."

Cowell felt a little emotion in his heart, a group of movie fans who have never seen a star movie - this is an interesting group.

"Thank you, and I wish you a pleasant stay in New York."

"Of course, we are really happy and excited to see Daniel, it's great."

Daniel waved to them with a charming smile. He is no stranger to these young movie fans. Although he does not belong to him, these young people can be said to have supported waves of fresh meat beauties. They don't ask for much, and even if you don't need to give them anything, they can enjoy themselves. If you can show them a little caring and caring gestures from time to time, what they can give you is a bit sensational.

Thanks to these young people, Daniel has a huge presence on the red carpet, which often means some kind of influence - at least in the current media.

"Andy, don't you see that? A reporter with brown hair and blue stripes with a dolphin pattern on it. Yes, the one over there." Stepping off the red carpet, Daniel beckoned Andy to come over and pointed to her just now. The reporter who noticed — the one who interviewed his fans was Cowell of the New York Tribune.

"The one with the gold-rimmed glasses?"

"Yes, it's him." Daniel stopped looking at Kewell, and said to Andy without changing his face, "Give him a small gift, be generous, and tell him that I think it's not a bad thing for young people to have an idol, Especially a sufficiently inspiring idol."

Daniel's worries are not superfluous, parents are a scary group in America, and if your movie provokes a parent association or a large group of self-organized parents, then you have to worry - God knows how many parents in your audience , if it really makes them unhappy, then the impact on the film is devastating.

Too young groupies are a special group. They are important players in Internet entertainment, but they lack spending power - this will become less and less a problem as time goes by. Their pocket money is enough to pay for a movie, or even other surrounding. But the important thing is that this group has received double attention from society and parents. Society has a set of standards to require young people - they must be rational enough, calm enough, judgmental enough and appreciative enough. Of course this is a Jokes, but the people making these are adults, so no one has a way to change them. Parents are more pure. This can't affect my child, let him waste his studies, let him have wrong values, and let him be tempted and encouraged by bad things.

Daniel is now the idol of these young people, and he has to **** their "power". Kewell has obviously realized the value of this news point, so how to guide it is what Daniel needs to do quickly.

Andy understood what Daniel meant. In fact, after Cusa left, Andy and Melissa had more and more contact with Fred, and they became more and more aware of Daniel's seemingly "nothing" on the Internet. How the situation that people don't know" was created. It is undeniable that Daniel has all the elements to become a high-quality idol, but the soil of today's Internet is still a little shallow, and it is difficult to achieve the current situation if it is not operated.

For Daniel, opening Fred to Andy and Melissa was also an adventure.

But after all, Fred was directly responsible to him and Cusa, and only the two of them knew about the specific operation. This provided Daniel with a little bit of protection. Under this premise, the symbolic meaning of revealing to them was even greater.

Daniel and a group of creators began to move to the theater, and "Gladiator" was ready to be tested by the audience. Andy, on the other hand, approached Kewell without a trace and successfully took him away from the crowd.

(For the update, I apologize to everyone. I have a graduation ceremony the day after tomorrow, and I will leave school the day after tomorrow. There are a lot of messy things.)
