Ace Hollywood

DD Films invested 35 million and industry giant Walt Disney to create a blockbuster special effects movie with Disney pirate theme, which has shaken the entire Hollywood production structure to a certain extent. Stars and producers own their own studios , This is not a particularly unusual thing, but it is rare for those who can invest more than 30 million in a single chip. Even for some fairly supportive independent studios, such a hand is very generous.

From an insignificant little actor to a famous super idol, from the youngest best supporting actor to win the Oscar statuette, to spending tens of millions of dollars to partner with IFC, MGM and Walt Disney, this is what Daniel can't believe Anyone who sees this trajectory will inevitably be dumbfounded.

The producers of School Blues Michael, Derek Lane, Peter Jackson and Francis, and even Ridley Scott. This is Daniel's strong partner and noble person along the way. Similarly, that Daniel can't remember The little people in the world - the fat boy who competed with him for the role of Billy in School Blues, and Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Damon and their manager Philip, and now Johnny Depp and Trey Sy Jacobs, these are the opponents who witnessed his success.

Of course, no one would declare that Daniel will become a new force in Hollywood at this moment. After all, his most likely path is to lose all his money. But this kind of experience and development itself is almost a little legend.

...

Hey, Daniel, are you and Collins public?

Miss Porch, are you two lovers now?

A group of reporters surrounded Daniel and Collins who got out of the car. They just went out to visit Los Angeles today, and the paparazzi with sharper noses than dogs had already mastered the road map.

Fair refused to join them in the car. At this time, he was relatively leisurely, watching the beauties in Los Angeles in early spring with his eyes flying around.

Daniel and Collins just smiled, didn't talk, didn't hold hands or snuggle, and this kind of photo couldn't define the relationship after all.

The paparazzi were not entirely offended by this plausible photo, they thought it was the most important thing that Daniel would become more and more difficult to deal with.

Now Daniel can basically ignore the paparazzi. It is not difficult to eat, travel, and talk to people under the watchful eyes of the paparazzi.

Are you a little uncomfortable?

Collins didn't intend to hide her timing feelings, she nodded, Yes, very uncomfortable.

Phil looked at Daniel sympathetically, It turns out that being a big star is not so easy, it's like being imprisoned. I can't live with such a life.

In the afternoon, I will take you to visit the director of Lord of the Rings, Peter and his wife Fran.

Both Fair and Collins' eyes lit up.

The trend of The Lord of the Rings is also quite violent in Europe. Fair and Collins can see the true face of the director, and it is worth getting excited anyway.

The reason why Daniel took them to visit Peter was not entirely to satisfy the little fans, but was invited by Peter Jackson. Recently, The Lord of the Rings was a big hit, but Peter Jackson was not particularly happy, or to be precise Not entirely happy. Because New Line Company was delaying the distribution of accounts, Robert Shaye overcame public opinion and handed over this masterpiece to Peter Jackson, and handed over the special effects to Weta Digital, which was co-founded by Richard Taylor, Peter and others. ——You know, this company only produced one movie at the beginning,

That is Sinful Angel, Kate Winslet's first work. Even so, Robert Shaye made a decision. Now it seems that this decision could not have been more successful. The magnificent and graceful world of Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings has fascinated everyone. Behind such achievements, it represents Weta Digital's superhuman technical strength, especially From Daniel's point of view, it was very surprising. Because even after more than ten years, there is no special effects company of this level in China-usually people call the special effects in TV dramas and movies five cents special effects to refer to the crude and unacceptable special effects.

However, the original wise decision did not continue after success. The so-called saying that we can share adversity but not wealth is very reasonable.

The post-production fee that New Line Company should have paid to Weta Digital was in installments, and there was a share of the box office. It amounts to some kind of investment, Peter is the director after all. But now, the Lord of the Rings has been online for three months, and the total box office has exceeded 280 million in North America and 650 million worldwide. According to Shanying's estimate, 300 million is destined to be trampled by The Fellowship of the Ring. And a movie with more than 300 million yuan can really be famous in film history, not to mention, The Fellowship of the Ring has a good reputation. So far, its judges on IMDB are still above 9 points, let alone Sweeping the actor, actress and movie charts. The applause was well-received, which is vividly reflected in The Fellowship of the Ring, and there is nothing comparable to it in recent years.

Daniel himself has benefited from this.

The Fellowship of the Ring itself does not have any special core protagonists. Viggo Mortensen, the actor of Aragorn, is not the kind of charming uncle. He is not well known, even after the movie became popular, he did not take advantage He intends to make himself a popular star. Compared with fame and fortune in Hollywood, he loves poetry and distant places most - he is a poet and a photographer. Except for him, Elijah was still a child actor, and Ian McKellen, what else could an old Mike like him think? As for Ms. Liv Tyler, although the popularity is not low, she really lacks a good team-not good looks are not the most important thing. Makeup artists, stylists, and even plastic surgeons can help her. But without this heart, no one can help. The Fellowship of the Ring has only been released for so long, Liv was already a lot bigger when she attended the event than when she was filming.

To put it more seriously, she lacks the most basic respect for the audience. Isn't it the job of a star to dress herself neatly and pleasing to the eye. Even for a person like Daniel, who enjoys food from God, every time he goes out, whether it is meeting friends or working, he is always impeccable. The so-called Hollywood's most decent man did not come out of thin air, and Burberry's endorsement will not give a Sloppy.

Therefore, with such a count, 80% of the bonus of the entire The Fellowship of the Ring to the actors fell on Daniel.

This can also explain how the Legolas storm that swept the world was formed.

This is of course why Peter Jackson invited him today instead of Viggo Mortensen or Ian McLean.

After spending a noon with the paparazzi, Daniel set off with the Borsch siblings. Now the paparazzi in the United States are not as hotly chasing Daniel as before, and there will be no shortage of people for about 24 hours, because the guard is too strong, and there is nothing to dig out unless he bursts out by himself.

For example, investing in Pirates of the Caribbean, and the legendary dispute with Depp, so far no one has been able to fish out a word from his team.

How hateful such a person is, he simply does not give food to the paparazzi.

This time, they had already taken a photo of Daniel and Collins in the same frame. After thinking about it, they knew that when Daniel did not intend to admit it publicly, they would not be able to obtain further evidence. So everyone also withdrew, and went back to deal with errands.

...

Peter looked much thinner than when we last met, and of course he was still fat. But Daniel really knows what Peter looks like when he loses weight. Later, when he filmed King Kong, he lost a lot of weight. Apart from his beard, he also looks like an idol director. It's a pity that he waited until The Hobbit was released, he gained weight again, and it got worse.

On the contrary, Francis has not changed, he is still gentle and calm. This is a terrible writer.

This is Collins and Fair. They like The Fellowship of the Ring very much, so I took them to visit the creator of the movie.

I'm afraid you don't just like movies, do you?

Although Peter's complexion was not very good, he didn't intend to spread this decadent atmosphere to every corner.

No, no, at least I only love movies, and I can only love movies. Fair hurriedly cleaned himself up, and then was stared at by Collins.

Francis served them coffee. Sounds like gossip isn't just gossip anymore?

Fran, you can't be like those gossiping women.

So, what is it?

Daniel glanced feebly at Collins.

Collins nodded generously, My pursuit has already paid off.

It's not a gentleman's behavior to let such a beautiful girl actively pursue you, Daniel.

Francis sat next to Collins, I love Porsche very much, but I didn't expect to be able to sit with the Porsche family one day. Want me to tell you some interesting things about the filming of The Fellowship of the Ring? Like the elf incident or something .”

Both Collins and Fair's eyes lit up.

After several rounds of heated public opinion, the fact that Daniel was mistaken for an elf is now widely spread. Many people are very curious about this one of the few magical legends in the history of movies. Collins and Fair are of course no exception.

Peter Jackson invites Daniel to his study to talk about business.

Haven't you reached an agreement yet?

A gleam of anger flashed in Peter's eyes. Peter was different from Jerry Bruckheimer. The latter was quite tactful. Although he was also obsessed with movies, he would not feel too upset because of this kind of thing. But Peter is different. He is a fan of The Lord of the Rings and is almost obsessed with special effects and imagination, so when he encounters such common things again, he feels very uncomfortable.

That old bastard didn't even think about compromising. Damn it, it would have been great if he hadn't filmed three films at once. Now there is no room for negotiation.
