Ace Hollywood

Dick, have you heard of the special relationship between Javier and Daniel in mb?

Robert frowned and asked.

Dick Cook was stunned for a while before thinking about it carefully.

mb is the discussion board of the original company. Daniel's person is still the most popular in the United States so far. It seems to be the same all over the world. Even in those countries with large populations, there is no individual with 20 to 30 million people. Later The business was not good, and the lack of a profit model almost made it impossible for them to continue to bear the operating expenses. But later, the company seemed to find its own way to make profits, and also received investment from Google and Sequoia Capital, and then gradually became a company An Internet company with unlimited prospects. After the establishment of mb, Daniel was also the first public figure to open a personal homepage on mb, thus establishing his unrivaled influence on mb. If we say that from the beginning, Daniel was not with What is the relationship with Javier, but a deep relationship with Evan, I am afraid it is more likely.

Last time, he was invited to visit Silicon Valley, which was also very surprising. If he got in touch with Google, then this matter would not be surprising.

The major shareholder of mb is not the company, but Plutos Investment Company, which is registered in the Cayman Islands and should be controlled by Javier and his management team.

Disney's two. If you can't figure out the intricate things behind Daniel, you naturally can't understand why Daniel is so tough.

Since Daniel's public speaking, the wind has changed a lot.

Hollywood and the Parents Association are no strangers. Movie ratings are largely determined by parents.

On the other hand, Finn Collins also spared no effort in helping Daniel.

It looks like the turmoil is about to subside.

If Disney stops here, the fight between them can still be called moderate, after all. No irreparable consequences were caused to anyone.

Just, obviously. Robert is not a person who gives up halfway. It is impossible for anyone who is determined to let go without significant disadvantages.

Soon, a similar conflict arose in Philadelphia. This time even kids under 13 were involved.

...

Daniel invited Stacey to dinner at a well-known French restaurant on the Sunset Strip.

There was no attempt to circumvent others, nor was there an attempt to hide the message.

As soon as Stacey received the invitation, she knew that Daniel had no intention of compromising.

This made her very hesitant. In fact, within Universal Pictures, not everyone supported her plan. For example, Ron Meyer, who has always had a good relationship with Daniel, although he obeyed the company's decision. But Meyer made it very clear to Stacy that it was better to take this opportunity than to get stuck with Daniel. Confirm some cooperation projects with Daniel.

But Stacey disagreed.

This may be the difference between the deputy of the Seventh National Congress and the Seventh National Congress.

The American Motion Picture Association, an important association, is controlled by the seven major film studios, despite their perennial competition and attacks. But there is a common interest in maintaining their respective authority. Stacey was unwilling to hold back when Robert wanted to teach Daniel.

Although, they and Daniel have already signed the Bourne Shadow 2 and 3 contracts. If other cooperation is not considered, at least within the past three years. The rise in Daniel's price has little to do with Universal. But what Stacey understands is that Daniel is just an exception. Today is Daniel Sandler, and the next one may be Matt Damon or Leonardo DiCaprio. The seven cannot repeat the same mistakes. , Let the studio work for the big star.

This is why Universal cooperated with Disney instead of providing convenience for Daniel, and it is also the reason why studios such as Paramount, Fox, Sony, and MGM did not come forward at this time.

Disney, Warner's New Line, and Universal can be said to be the companies that have benefited the most from Daniel's rise. When they have important conflicts, it is naturally a good opportunity for other studios to poach the wall. But they can all bear it, and there is no negotiation mechanism among them. They didn't hold a high-level meeting to discuss progress and retreat together, and they didn't invite middlemen to coordinate with each other. Instead, they knew and unified the pace.

This is the ceiling of Hollywood!

Anyone trying to break through the pressure network of the seven companies is in for this treatment.

So, this is not something Disney did at will, nor is Daniel born to be aggressive.

Before Daniel met Stasi, he had already figured out all this in discussions with Kusa and others.

You can't break through that barrier.

This is not a question, nor is it a discussion, but Cusa told him a real reality.

In Hollywood, no one can break through the predicament of the Big Seven at present, unless it is true that after a few years, both f2f and mb have achieved great success, and he directly destroys these systems and rules with a large sum of dollars , this ceiling may disappear for a short time.

Daniel is very practical.

He understands that some things cannot be solved by impulsiveness alone. The important thing is that he still has too much time and too much advantage to play with these giants slowly. It's better for a gentleman to take revenge than ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge when he is fledgling.

Even so, when Cusa tried to contact Robert, Daniel firmly stopped him.

If I can't break this rule, it doesn't mean I have to admit defeat. At least, before I have the ability to win, I have to maintain an unbeaten and undefeated state.

Therefore, he still met Stacy Schneider of Universal Pictures according to the established itinerary, without even making any cover-ups, as if he wanted to let the whole of Hollywood know his itinerary.

Word, of course, quickly reached the ears of those who should have known. For example, the seven others, as well as Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Spielberg, etc., these are all actors who can earn 20 million in a single film ,director. Commonly known as the generalized 20 million club members.

Tom and Rita have been paying attention to Daniel's affairs recently.

After the Los Angeles Times report came out, he was able to confirm that Disney was playing tricks. Tom Hanks after Forrest Gump also received this treatment, but the difference between the two is that Daniel The aura of Never Miss is too bright. So much so that the big Hollywood studios are not willing to deal with Daniel in the way they dealt with him.

You must know after Forrest Gump in 1994. He didn't get a good show until Saving Private Ryan, and even so, he didn't have that much room for performance in Ryan. After experiencing Philadelphia Story and Forrest Gump, his peak period has passed, and even if there are some more opportunities, it will be difficult for him to regain his original commercial value.

The studio reduced his production to alleviate the horror influence he gained from Forrest Gump. He won the Oscar winner and Golden Globe winner for two consecutive years. In addition, there is also a Berlin winner, plus Countless outpost awards. As well as a considerable number of fans, the influence of all these factors has been wiped out in three or four years of wastage.

Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt. Even Leonardo rose up in this process to fill the vacancy of high commercial value male stars.

But they did it to Daniel.

The most important reason, of course, is that they couldn't give up the loss caused by Daniel's production reduction, Universal Pictures' Bourne Shadow series, and now there is the Pirates of the Caribbean series. These series of commercial blockbusters can almost change a company's revenue and profits for several years. It's not something Universal or Disney can give up at all. In addition, Daniel, who breaks through 100 million or 200 million is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables, it is also difficult for other producers to give up.

There are only a few films in North America that can exceed 100 million a year. The headquarters of the Big Seven, Lionsgate, Miramax, New Line, Touchstone, and other large and small studios are not worth much. . But in just three years, Daniel took up ten of them, including the 400 million-level Greek Wedding, the first two volumes of the 300 million-level Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Who can pass up such a huge piece of cake.

That's why Robert was so impatient, even when Pirate was still in theaters, he started to do it.

When Rita was filming Greek Wedding, she had more contact with Daniel and had some friendship.

When discussing this matter with Tom, she was also curious whether Daniel could stand it.

impossible!

Tom's assertion is the same as that of Daniel, Cusa and others. Daniel still does not have the power to wrestle with Robert.

Rita, who witnessed Tom being pushed down, of course knew how difficult it was.

However, looking at her sighing, Tom's simple and honest face did show a disproportionately shrewd smile, But Daniel may not necessarily lose, he is different from me after all. He has money and DD Films, without cooperating with the top seven, produced the second highest-grossing film of the year, and participated in the production of Hotel Rwanda which easily broke 100 million. Now Pirates of the Caribbean, Daniel's money has been turned around, and he is sure to earn Quite a few, from what we learned about Disney's profit line before, we can know that Disney's investment is at least 160 million or more.

Moreover, after all, he still has a close relationship with mb. Silicon Valley is a place that Hollywood cannot reach. The result depends on Daniel's own wishes.

You mean, it depends on whether he intends to swallow his anger or face it head-on?

It's not hard to beat hard. Although he is young, we have seen his handwriting in the past few years. Although Robert is a powerful old man, I am afraid he may not be able to suppress him. The main thing is to see Daniel's future for himself. Are you confident enough, will you choose to endure it, wait until the power in your hands is stronger, and then turn against Disney.

After seeing Daniel's anti-violence keynote, the results were obvious.

Daniel didn't intend to bear it.

When he met Stacy with great fanfare, even Tom Hanks became curious about what Daniel was going to do. He didn't believe that Daniel would fail to see his situation.

Disney can only pay more attention to Daniel than Tom.

When Leeson reported the news to Robert, Robert frowned slightly, then picked up the phone and called Stasi.

The shrewd female voice on the opposite side refused to say what she and Daniel talked about, but said that Universal Pictures knew it well.

This made Robert somewhat uneasy.

...

Miller and Stacy's driver sat at another table, and Daniel stood up to greet Stacy with a big smile on his face.

Finally have the opportunity to have dinner with you.

If you don't disclose the terms of the contract, I will happily attend the banquet. Stacey also smiled, but the words she said were not so friendly.

In that public speech, Daniel clearly stated his treatment in the package contract of The Bourne 2 and 3, the basic film salary of 40 million, which caught Universal Pictures a little by surprise. Such a super contract is definitely attractive enough during the publicity period, but now that it is directly talked about by Daniel, it is of course worthless.

Universal understood that it made the move right after Daniel invited Stacy to meet.

Definitely used to show determination.

Even though Universal didn't know what Daniel wanted to do, because of this, Stacy had to be there for the meeting.

Daniel, who was satirized by Stasi, didn't change at all.

This made Stasi vigilant. When Universal was in charge of DreamWorks' Gladiator, it worked closely with Daniel. Among the seven, it was definitely the first. Never before had Daniel shown his city so unabashedly.

This cannot but make Stasi pay more attention.

Daniel, the Bourne Bourne plan is a key project of Universal. Any change may have an important impact on Universal's operations. It is impossible for us to change it over and over again. Do you understand that before you suddenly Announcing that you will leave Hollywood temporarily and ask to postpone the shooting of the third film, Universal Pictures has tried its best to cooperate with you. This time, it is impossible for the board of directors to agree to postpone the shooting of Bourne Shadow 2, Universal Pictures and dd Films It’s not the same as the industry, it’s not something that someone can change the plan with just a thought, we have a strict annual plan and budget implementation plan.”

Stacey sat down, and without trying to beat around the bush, she went straight to explaining the reasons for Universal's decision.

Indeed, Daniel contacted Universal just to express his hope to postpone the filming of Bourne Shadow 2.

Universal declined the offer. (to be continued)
