Ace Hollywood

So, you've decided?

Daniel nodded, Maybe this is our helpless choice today, but it may give us a big surprise in the future.

Robert Iger's residence in Los Angeles is also quite luxurious. Although it is not as big as Daniel's new house, the decoration is much more exquisite than Daniel's.

Daniel is invited to Robert's house, which surprises him a little.

Robert must have known about Jerry and Gore's choices, and even their connection to Depp, and in the end all that was left was to inform Disney, yes, basically just to inform. This is not a question of power, but a question of professionalism. This project was handed over to Jerry. Of course, Disney still retains the greatest right to speak, but it is generally rarely used to deny producers.

But even so, Robert invited Daniel to his house as a guest—a sign of intimacy.

It seems that you have no intention of giving up Jack. Robert smiled unabated, I'm surprised that you are so optimistic about this movie.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be so persistent. Daniel will not deny that he has done so much work, and everyone can see his thoughts.

However, Jerry and Gore have already made a decision, and even I cannot deny them. After all, they are the ones who actually made this movie. Robert said frankly. Indeed, any action by Robert will increase the pressure on himself. This is Disney's attempt to get out of the family movie, and the pressure is already high. ?”

I can share 30% of the investment, and I am willing to let Disney give priority to recovering the investment cost.

Daniel's voice was not particularly loud, and he seemed to be talking about ordinary things.

But Robert's expression clearly indicated that this was not the case at all.

What did you say?

Isn't Disney worried about the risk of this attempt? I believe Robert is also worried about this. You are cooperating with Jerry's company to reduce this risk, right? Then, my conditions must be very sincere.

One third is nearly 35 million investment, which is definitely a big deal.

Thirty-five million is enough for a middling movie, and the Legally Blonde sequel is nowhere near that budget.

And the most important condition is yet to come, allowing Disney to recover its investment excellently.

In other words, DD Pictures won't take any money until Disney recovers the cost. This kind of investment partner is simply too popular.

Disney's risk is almost minimized.

Robert looked at Daniel with some amazement. He knew that Daniel had invested in two films, with an amount of more than 10 million, and now he proposed to take out 35 million. Where did he get the money?

The mysterious fog on Daniel's body made Robert a little unclear.

Once the conditions are released, all Daniel has to do is wait for Disney's decision.

...

When Jerry and Gore got the news, it was already three days later.

Robert, who unified Disney's internal opinions, announced the decision to them.

We will invest in this series with DD Films.

DD Films?

Gore frowned and asked,

He didn't know the studio well, but he was dissatisfied that the investment was still changing.

However, Jerry Bruckheimer knows this company well. After all, he owns a film company and has cooperated with Disney for several years-and will continue. Importantly, this company belongs to Daniel Sandler.

Too capricious.

Jerry had to sigh.

For one role, it cost 35 million.

What kind of state of mind is this.

Moreover, Daniel's ability to gather money is amazing. The one million in Gladiator is considered to be his beginning to make money. The remuneration of several films plus the dividends of Pretty Woman has indeed reached more than 10 million. Burberry's endorsement doesn't make much money. In addition, Daniel's business activities have been maintained at a high price for a long time, and the density of his attendance is also quite high-this is young people, flying around, all over the United States , and even make money all over the world.

However, all of this is the initial income. He needs to support a team and distribute it to CAA and agents. He also bought tens of millions of mansions and millions of cars.

Where does the money come from?

The only possibility is to invest!

Is Daniel still a financial genius?

Of course, Jerry wouldn't know that the theorem that a reborn person can eat for a lifetime if he speculates once.

However, since Jerry knew the news, the ball returned to him—continuing to oppose Daniel’s performance, and then the two sides played a game, either Jerry was proposed for the project, or Daniel withdrew his investment. Jerry thought about it, but realized that he had no chance of winning.

He is a gold medal producer with countless successes, but the most recent Pearl Harbor met Waterloo. Michael Eisner even resigned because of this opportunity. As for how Robert will choose, he has no certainty.

A love of movies and amazing talent will not let Jerry run wild in Hollywood. First of all, if he is a person who knows how to judge the situation.

So, he had no difficulty in choosing whom.

When Disney accepted Daniel's investment, everything was set.

The job now, for Jerry, is to convince Gore Verbinski and say sorry to Depp.

...

Why? Depp is the most suitable candidate, but if you must say that Daniel is not good, it is not convincing. Jerry was very surprised by Gore's stubbornness. Daniel's performance so far is obvious to all. His plasticity is very high. I don't believe you can completely ignore that. So are you being challenged for authority, or something else?

To be honest, Gore didn't know exactly what he was thinking.

After hearing the news from Robert, Gore has been in a state of anger and bewilderment.

He has never tasted or seen this kind of ruthless tactic of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. He has never seen it, forcing the male protagonist through investment, this - it is simply too rich.

Gore had no idea that Daniel could do such a thing.

What he was sure of was that he couldn't make the film in this state.

And never before has he felt so clearly his own insignificance, and the fact that movies are, after all, a money game.

Gore's withdrawal is not that serious. If you don't want to make an enemy, everyone in the media will know what to say. The contact between Jerry and Daniel has been reported in the newspapers, but Depp's side has not. No one will know these messy inside stories. People in the know don't want to offend Disney, Jerry, and Daniel all.

After Robert, Jerry, and even Daniel personally persuaded him to be ineffective, Daniel felt guilty but resolutely proposed to re-select the director.

For Gore, the most memorable work in his life just passed by. Maybe he will have other encounters, but the pirates have nothing to do with him.

Rob Marshall?

Daniel is now the second largest investor and the leading actor, participating in the discussion of the project, because this is entirely a personal investment, so David's participation is mainly to provide a team, invest in a movie, and each link needs to have its own people , otherwise it is impossible to confirm where the money you invested has gone, and whether the money you earned has been swallowed. DD Films charges service fees, and the investment is Daniel's personal.

If you throw more than 30 million yuan at once, I will become a part-time worker immediately. This is not acceptable. This is my career and dream. David said to Daniel solemnly with his head on his head, so he didn't The only way is to follow David's advice. Because he is really unwilling to take away David's dream, this black guy is becoming the same as the Hollywood elite, he is constantly learning, gaining experience, plus the luck bestowed by God, he should enjoy the joy of his dream come true, And not just money. In Daniel’s sporadic memory, there are many things that he does not have the energy to do, but he can operate through David. After all, a person’s energy is limited, and the investment field is becoming more and more important. At the beginning, he did not expand at all until today This level of thinking, but with the development of MB, Raymond's major, he has more and more sites in this field, and he needs to spend more and more energy and time. In addition, movies that require absolute attention, Social affairs, running a movie studio were too much for Daniel. Moreover, David surpassed all professional managers and collaborators in terms of being completely trustworthy.

The director candidate that Daniel threw out was the replacement chosen by the Pirates of the Caribbean series after Gore quit. He felt that it should be no problem to let him film the first film.

As expected of a Hollywood veteran, Jerry actually knows about this little-known director.

The director Harvey invited to shoot Chicago used to shoot commercials and TV. Jerry frowned and thought about it, not knowing why Daniel recommended him.

Daniel himself had no reason, but Jerry thought of one for him.

Chicago is a key project of Miramax. If he wins some awards at the Oscars, Rob will easily become a popular director. We have a popular protagonist, and another popular director will save a lot of publicity funds. .”

But Robert thought about it. Miramax is a company owned by Disney. Of course he knew the position of the Weinstein brothers in Chicago, and he also understood the reason why Rob Marshall was selected. What Jerry said may seem ridiculous, but it is actually very realistic. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the gorgeous classical musical Chicago is very consistent with certain positioning of Pirates of the Caribbean. As long as the screenwriter works hard to make up for this novice's control, plus his good at gorgeous scenes and compact performance methods, it may not be a suitable candidate.

The most important thing is that Jerry is very strong, Daniel is now an investor, and he has a lot of power to speak. He directly focuses on himself in the movie. Of course, Robert knows better, so it is necessary to find a director who is not so famous. At this time, he was a little thankful for Gore's launch, otherwise the crew would not be quiet in the future.

Jerry, I think it can be considered. You can get to know Harvey and talk to him to see if it's suitable.

Jerry is not very familiar with Rob himself, but he knows that Robert is also very concerned about Chicago. Since he thinks that Rob is also a suitable candidate, of course Jerry will not refuse to give it a try.

...

The time is actually very short. By the time Daniel invested and Depp was out, the nominations for the Oscars had not even been announced.

Therefore, the emotional changes of several parties were very intense.

Daniel himself is no exception. It is a little stressful to decide to invest such a large amount and to eliminate Gore. Although he does not think Gore is a necessary factor for success, it is always disturbing to change history. But thinking about myself as a variable, I had no choice but to let go of my worries.

Needless to say, Jerry was exhausted by tossing around and making peace multilaterally.

Already out of the game, Gore did not go to court with Disney, but took a proper compensation to start a new project. Daniel doesn't know what he thinks, but it will definitely not be easy.

That leaves Johnny Depp.

When Jerry called to say sorry and informed Gore that he could no longer participate, Depp felt that his mind really couldn't turn.

But he also asked who was chosen as the leading actor.

The result made him even more heartbroken.

He didn't know how this magic was conjured. Tracy inquired from inside Disney about the news that Disney's new CEO liked Daniel very much, and even did not hesitate to replace the director.

Depp thought maliciously, Daniel may have become Robert Iger's little wolf dog, otherwise how could Disney support Daniel so hard.

The obtained character just flew away, and Depp and Tracy were stunned for ten minutes before becoming angry.

But Jerry and Gore's words were all verbal, and even Jerry didn't give a clear response at all. The definite words came out of Gore's mouth. This is an experienced gold medal producer. How can he cheat actors? Investors are more skilled than anyone else. But now Depp has nothing to do.

He really lost to Daniel Sandler this time.

It wasn't until he had to admit that he had lost to Daniel that Johnny Depp suddenly realized how incredible it was. In just three years, Daniel, who was blocked outside Tracy's door with a single sentence, had not chosen Kusa Damon, who would have had endless opportunities, and who might have been completely insulated from Hollywood or wasted another ten years, now actually competed with him for the role , and won the battle.

Depp has never encountered this kind of thing in the industry for so many years.

Thinking of what happened to Jacques Phoenix and Matt Damon back then, Daniel's journey can be regarded as a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha, no one can be.

If it weren't for this kind of mind, I probably wouldn't have had such an achievement.
