Ace Hollywood

readx(); All along, Daniel has quite a face in the technology world.

At the beginning, it was because he started a wave of enthusiasm in the Internet field. Many people heard the name Daniel Sandler for the first time from the huge contrast between his fitness photos and Campus Blues. Since then, in the past four years, the development of the Internet has been in full swing, but no star has been able to surpass him. Driven by Fred's team and the growing number of movie fans, Daniel is almost in touch with the Internet. Entertainment equals it.

This trend became even more pronounced as he formed a huge influence on and MB.

And the leap-forward change started with Greek Wedding last year. The pop-up promotion, active promotion, target group segmentation and social media marketing plan he created all refreshed Internet technology companies. The huge benefits that MB gained from this cooperation also made many investment companies feel very sorry, because according to the scale of MB's development, financing would have been imperative if it hadn't obtained this opportunity, but now it has forced this action Infinitely delayed.

What's more, although the major shareholder of MB is still unknown, Google is brewing a plan in the joint-stock company, which means that it is impossible to be short of money in the short term. If the major shareholder is willing to dilute the shares in exchange for Google's injection of development funds, then Not to mention their business.

However, the scale of MB-related companies including Google is already very large, especially in the past year or so, MB's extraordinary achievements in business cooperation have made this community of interests indestructible. It is basically impossible to choose the path of promoting the transfer of MB's interests through lobbying policy departments and rights holders.

A start-up company is valued at more than one billion, and everyone can see its value, and the more so, the fewer people dare to act rashly.

In May of this year, the expansion of the Technology for the Benefit of All Beings foundation is the latest development of the cooperation between Daniel's team and Silicon Valley.

There is no doubt that Silicon Valley is becoming more and more important in the economic landscape of the United States. It also fueled Daniel's arrogance. In comparison, Hollywood's total output value of tens of billions a year is incomparable with Silicon Valley. If it weren't for Hollywood to shoulder the heavy responsibility of exporting the soft power and culture of the United States, it would be for democratically elected countries. Stars have a certain influence, and Hollywood will not have the status it has today.

This time, several major technology giants jointly invited Daniel to visit Silicon Valley, which can be said to further develop Daniel's Silicon Valley label.

For comprehensive media with a long-term vision, there are enough things that can be analyzed from this point.

In the world of filmed entertainment. He has a billion-level global hit, he is the youngest member of the 20 million club, he is the youngest winner of the Oscar winner and supporting actor, and his production investment has exceeded hundreds of millions. It can be said that he is in this business , is already one of the top few people,

In the past 80 years in Hollywood, there have not been many better than him.

On social affairs issues, challenge the president hard and confront senior members of Congress. Appointed as the senior ambassador of the United Nations, he led and participated in the rally of tens of thousands of people. This has basically surpassed all Hollywood stars who are interested in social topics, and even some political figures do not have his reputation. Recently, the terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger is running for the governor of California, and it is not uncommon to propose Daniel to run. Restricted by his young age and academic qualifications, this is not the mainstream opinion, but both campaign teams are trying to pull him into their camp. Under the premise that the two candidates are similar, Daniel even has influence on the result-especially for Schwarzenegger, who is ahead, a considerable part of his voters are familiar with Hollywood. In other words, this part is also the most easily affected by Daniel.

Now, as the first Oscar winner invited to visit Silicon Valley, Daniel's influence has clearly spread to a new field - the technology world. Even the business community—this is the most powerful force in the United States. As a country of money, the power of these businessmen influences all policies of this country.

Therefore, after the analysis, many people turned pale.

USA Today even stated that this young man has undoubtedly become one of the most influential figures in the United States and the world under the age of 30.

There is an extremely clear evidence for this comment. During his trip to Thailand this year, he was arranged to be received by the Prime Minister Sivana of Thailand. Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand will accompany him to visit the local refugee camps—this is already treated as a state guest. Of course, there is no shortage of the country's leaders hoping to use him to promote their country's intentions, but this itself is an integral part of influence.

Therefore, this trade-off turned out to be a milestone for Daniel to enter a new realm.

...

The first weekend of Fake God was 67.32 million, which changed the staggering state of Daniel's previous two works that slowly climbed the box office.

In fact, by the end of May, the North American box office of Hotel Rwanda has reached more than 95 million, and it is relatively normal to estimate it as high as 100 million. It is generally believed in the industry that the film's compassion for war victims and its sincere expression of the cruel side of war are important reasons for moving audiences at this time. In other words, Hotel encountered a good moment, if It is not the US-Iraq war, it will definitely not achieve today's results, and even half of it is dangerous. As far as Daniel knew, Hotel was supposed to be released next year. Although the war was still going on at that time, the intensity was no longer the same as it is now, and its box office did not exceed 40 million in the end.

Another movie The Pianist took advantage of the Oscars and the word-of-mouth accumulated in previous platform releases, and the box office was quite good. It was released a few days later than Hotel, but the box office was even higher. After this week, it should be able to Breaking 100 million.

In this way, Daniel's billion-dollar golden body was unexpectedly preserved—you know, after he took over Hotel Rwanda and The Pianist, even the most optimistic marketers predicted that he would After School Blues will be stripped of the aura of each over 100 million yuan.

It can only be said that God is really on his side.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the war, the two niche literary films made a big profit.

And the following The Fake God has an extraordinary momentum, and it will definitely exceed 100 million next week, and it is very likely that it will reach the box office of The Bourne.

This can clearly tell the market that Daniel's appeal in mainstream movies, whether it is comedy blockbusters or drama blockbusters, is still unquestionable.

Universal Pictures' enthusiasm for Daniel has also reached a peak in the past year. Their two most high-profile and most profitable movies were starring Daniel. Ron Meyer's leading role in this decision also put him at the Stacey. Even Comcast management is getting more attention.

This is crucial to Daniel's return to Hollywood in the future.

However, now more follow-up of these matters is given to the people under his command, and they are in charge of each other, so that Daniel can devote more energy and time to investment and social affairs.

...

Mountain View, Clara County is where Google, which is now famous all over the United States, is located.

Daniel stepped into Silicon Valley for the first time. As originally envisaged, the scenes of people holding computers and rushing around everywhere did not appear. However, there are not many pedestrians, and occasionally seeing some is no different from other Americans.

Therefore, geniuses like Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg seen in the media are not the norm in Silicon Valley.

More unexpectedly, he saw a lot of Chinese.

But it's not clear whether these are second-generation immigrants, or if they were born from high-achieving students from well-known universities in China.

Larry Page himself was waiting for him at the door, except for the reporters who followed him. There are also some reporters squatting here. It seems that many of them are from various Internet media and technology media. The former is fairly familiar, while the latter Daniel is not very familiar with.

He'd met Page, but hadn't talked to him in any particular depth.

Today is obviously a wonderful new experience for both of them.

Men still make up the vast majority of Google's engineers, but Daniel's popularity hasn't been compromised. It could be because of his anti-war stance, or because he's been in films like Gladiator and The Bourne Bourne that also appeal to men. In short, facing the warm applause of a group of senior programmers, Daniel still feels good.

Paige whispered to him from the side. This is definitely Bill Gates' treatment.

Really? I don't have any money like him.

He's twenty-five years older than you.

The two looked at each other, and Daniel's view of this technical master changed a lot.

Since you are so enthusiastic, I want to give you a suggestion. Daniel said to these technical talents, If Google goes public, you must not sell your shares. I guarantee that the development and return of this company will It will amaze you that you are serving and creating a great business that will be respected by all and that will have global glory.

This prophetic statement. Let more enthusiastic applause resound throughout the office, this time, even Page applauded together.

You have to know that Daniel is now a part-time prophet, so it's best to listen to him, work hard, and strive to get more equity incentives. Page joked.

Since Daniel delivered a world-renowned prophetic speech at the ceremony of being appointed as a goodwill ambassador, whether it is ridiculing him or supporting him, they love to say yes to this point. The former said that he regarded himself as God, groundless and nonsense, and thought it was a joke for a star who had not undergone detailed investigation and no professional background to make such grandstanding predictions. But supporters say that the future of the US-Iraq war can be seen by anyone with a brain and vision, and Daniel obviously belongs to this category.

Daniel shrugged helplessly.

Yes, I'm going to run for the atheist cardinal next year.

Then, with everyone's laughter, I went to visit other departments. Google was his first and most purposeful stop.

Those technicians before are actually part of the purpose, because some of them are the talents that Mark is going to bring to F2F, not to mention Sheryl Sandberg who is standing in the crowd of followers-she is now in charge of online sales The second in command of the department. Together with colleagues before, they won the search business of America Online, which greatly strengthened the confidence of Google to go public.

After a quick tour of several Google departments, Daniel's entourage was waiting in the large conference room, and the Google executives returned to their posts except for those accompanying them.

Daniel himself and Larry Page entered Page's top office.

Of course he would not be an uninvited guest. In fact, some intentions had been communicated long ago.

The relationship between Mark and Daniel is also under the control of Page.

He also knows the actual equity relationship of MB.

Therefore, in his opinion, this is not a celebrity coming to interview the company, but an industry leader of the same status coming to discuss cooperation.

The determination of this impression is very beneficial to the negotiation. At least Page's attitude is very correct. After all, his net worth is not as good as Daniel's. Although Google is much larger than MB and has better development potential, compared to Daniel's shareholding ratio in MB, Page's His own shares have long been diluted to a relatively small part in several rounds of investment. His shareholding in Google is 16%, which is only less than a quarter of Daniel's share in MB, although Google's valuation is at It is more than 6 times that of MB, but considering that Daniel still owns 16%, 80% of Shanying Company, 20% of Weta Digital, half of DD Films headquarters and all of the investment department, plus the one billion cash in hand, Larry Page is indeed not as rich as Daniel. What's more, Google has not yet been listed, and it is somewhat unreliable to calculate the net worth based on the valuation.

Page made a cup of coffee for Daniel, and Google's lounge is great, with delicious snacks and a variety of drinks.

Creating an environment where technical men can stay home until they die is very helpful in cultivating their employment inertia and company loyalty.

It was originally Eric who came to talk to you. But after I discussed with him and Sergey, I will handle this matter.

Now Google is not Larry Page, but Eric Schmidt, the former Knoller executive who joined Google in 2001 for the simple reason that neither young Larry nor Sergey Competent management talents, they are proficient in technology, but not proficient in management. When the company grows larger and more complex, and the business is not just launching a product and constantly improving it, you need someone who is better at this type of business to deal with. Page later changed to a product manager, which can be regarded as knowing people and being good at responsibility for himself.

Daniel is more thorough than him. He does not hold specific positions in MB and Shanying at all. He is only responsible for strategy, and the specific operations are all handed over to professionals.

Therefore, Daniel also understands why Google finally let Page talk to him.

This is a deal between founder and founder, ultimate decision maker and ultimate decision maker.

Mark was one of the first eight employees of Google. I don't even know what you used to convince him. After all, MB didn't make him leave Google, so I was very curious. So, this made me determined to Push the bottom line of the negotiation a little higher. Page was very straightforward.

Daniel needs a little getting used to.

After all, dealing with technical men is still a very special experience. (To be continued.)

PS: It seems to be temporarily blocked, and I don't know if it can be sent out.
