Ace Hollywood

The party location is not far from Daniel's house. Universal has contracted a rental mansion in Malibu. The balcony on the second floor faces the beach. The decoration inside is luxurious.

Daniel heard that there are bigger and more luxurious villas on the beach in Malibu, and an event will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but so far, he has not been able to see it.

After entering the party, Daniel immediately felt a completely different treatment. The last time he was a warm-up party at Universal, he was only a well-loved new star, but this time, he was already a star through and through. Although the coffee position was unstable, But the status of the B-star star is basically stable until his next movie fails, and even recently, his popularity cannot be said to be weaker than that of the A-star.

This time, the conversation between Stasi and him was very high, and what they talked about was that "Bourne Bourne" would definitely cooperate happily, and even paved the way for the next cooperation.

According to Daniel's current schedule, he will return to New Zealand in October to complete the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", and then he will immediately start filming "Bourne Bourne". The following is the release of "Legal Blonde", and new movie plans are still in the making. The producer is watching. He has a lot of films. It is understandable to bet after seeing the effect of "Gladiator". On the other hand, Daniel is waiting. The five million film salary of "Bourne Bourne" is already too high. , but after "Gladiator", the lowest price of Daniel's commercial films should be at this price. If he does have some substantial gains during the awards season, I am afraid there is still room for three to five million to rise.

His schedule is full this year, so there is really no need to sign now.

Ridley's face is red, the old Chinese saying is good, people are in good spirits at happy events, and "Gladiator" with a high reputation has become a popular choice for this year's Oscars. With Ridley's contacts, DreamWorks and Universal's public relations Ability, nomination is no longer a problem, and awards are also very likely.

"Danny, thank you for your amazing performance." Ridley gave him a bear hug when they met, and Russell Crowe smiled while serving wine. When we let go, the two of them hugged affectionately.

This is a public party, and reporters are allowed to enter. Of course, no one is going to be annoying with a cannon barrel without a long eye, but it is definitely allowed to take a few photos of the crew from a certain angle.

Daniel knew that Crowe must be dissatisfied with him.

While all analysis shows that Russell Crowe is crucial to the box office, Daniel's popularity will obviously mislead many people, especially ordinary viewers, who will have the opinion that "Gladiator" relies on Daniel. Fortunately, the Oscar judges and celebrities in the industry are not ordinary people. They understand the importance of Crowe, which may be an important reason why he can maintain a stable state of mind.

But so what, the intrigue between Hollywood female stars is famous all over the world, and the male stars are actually not too much, but the methods are more secretive and ruthless, and generally not known to outsiders.

The word "interest" does not distinguish between men and women.

After the warm moment of the "Gladiator" crew, they naturally spread out to communicate with each other.

Daniel deliberately stayed.

"Is Tim not in Los Angeles?" He raised his glass and touched Ridley, Tim Rowland, the film investor of "Snow Eagle Fund", Tim left Los Angeles after Daniel brought David to visit before. , I haven't contacted him anymore, and the movie opportunity I said is gone. He is about to arrange a film appointment for next year. If Tim's movie is stranded, then his schedule will be arranged differently.

"He went to Europe, don't you have his contact information?"

Ridley knew that Daniel and Tim were still in touch later, and Daniel had nothing to hide, so he told him the film contract that Tim had said, "I can't tell you on the phone."

After a few words, Daniel began to wander around the party, and now, the time of lounging in the party is gone forever.

Producers, directors, actors, members of film industry associations, film funds, and even Wall Street people and city government officials, each is a powerful person who can make friends. Maybe at some point, this friendship can play a big role.

Of course, the main program of the party is to celebrate the over 100 million box office. For Daniel, it is quite a headache to deal with this group of invited reporters.

His exposure has been quite high in recent times - it is in line with his current status, so it is not easy to repeat the question that has been answered many times.

"I think if you are willing to look through the interviews I have given during this period, you may not have any questions to ask me."

At the beginning, Daniel made fun of himself, "You know I only have news like this, I've said it several times, I suspect your readers and viewers are getting tired of it."

The reporters cheered and laughed, but they still had to ask.

It's nothing more than how you feel about the box office, whether you have the confidence to win the award, what is the story of "Bourne Bourne", the sharing agreement of "Legal Blonde", etc.

Daniel's answer was indeed the same as before, very happy, very looking forward to it, very exciting, very happy.

Until Melissa said the last question, because there are still people waiting to be interviewed.

Only a brown-haired male reporter asked a new question.

"There is news that after the 'Gladiator' premiere, some film critics were hired to give you bad reviews, and Johnny Depp was behind it, and there was also news that you originally planned to sign with Depp's agent, and later It was signed by Cusa Damon, please, is this a fact? Is there any grudge between you?"

Daniel frowned slightly. The news about his signing had been circulating before, and it was not the first time he had been asked, but about the news of Depp's black hand, as usual, Tracy couldn't let it go. spread out.

"Different people have different opinions. I don't feel that my performance can be recognized by everyone. I think that now so many audiences and fans recognize this role, which has made me very satisfied. As for other things that have not happened, I don't think it's necessary to say too much. Thank you, everyone, thank you."

Until sitting in the car, Daniel was still thinking that there must be a purpose in picking up this topic.

What does Tracy or Depp want to do? Lend him the east wind?

It seems that there is no need for this~www.novelmt.com~ Even exposing it's shortcoming for this reason is more than worth the loss.

"Once Upon a Time in Mexico?" Daniel suddenly thought of something, "Melissa, did Robert Rodriguez's new movie ever contact us."

"Yes, but it's still early, you have to come back from New Zealand to audition, and they just handed over the script if you wanted to."

Is it for this movie?

Johnny Depp has been very prolific in recent years, because it doesn't make a lot of sense for a movie to do that.

But that's a hint for Daniel Sandler.

That movie should already be in the making.

"Pirates of the Caribbean"!

No one expected the success of Disney's live-action movie, except for Daniel.

"Melissa, please help me pay attention to whether Walt Disney has a live-action movie about pirates recently?"

"Live action?" Melissa repeated.

"Yes, you heard it right, you can't expect Disney to only play cartoons forever."

Melissa shrugged, indicating that she remembered it.

"Um?"

Daniel's personal cell phone suddenly rang.

"Where is this phone?"

After muttering, Daniel picked it up, "Hello, I'm—"

His face suddenly changed.
