Ace Hollywood

Chapter 269 Fighting Again

MPAA, the Motion Picture Association of America, can be said to be the ultimate power behind Hollywood. www.geiliwx.com

The presidents and chairmen of the Big Seven are all members of the association. Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax, as well as Robert Shaye of New Line, are not qualified to participate in the highest decision-making of MPAA layers. In addition, the entire association, which controls the lifeblood of Hollywood, is also the spokesperson of Hollywood. Whether it is public relations on Capitol Hill or dividing up territories around the world, there are usually some explicit or covert communication methods within the association.

Hollywood itself, as an important part of American soft culture, has always had an important position, although its annual output value is nothing in absolute terms, and it is incomparable with super giants like Wal-Mart, let alone Wall Street and black gold businessmen Those vampires. However, Hollywood's influence cannot be measured by output value.

In China, in the usual sense, the propaganda outlet is half a frame higher than other ministries and commissions. For the same reason, Hollywood has a similar meaning.

Whether it is President Reagan, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has just been elected governor of California, this kind of entertainment star who directly enters the political circle, or Sean Penn, George Clooney, and Daniel himself, these are not clear to people in power Unknown superstar. Especially in democratically elected countries, the people are always blind, and the political leanings of celebrities, to some extent, not to mention left and right, are at least enough to affect the election situation in one place. Take Daniel as an example. His authoritative predictions on anti-war issues have fallen into the quagmire one after another with the coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. It has been mentioned more and more often by major professional media and people—as evidence of the Bush administration’s insistence on going its own way. Democratic congressmen are now shouting anti-war, and it seems that they have eaten up the votes they voted in the first place. Including Senator Healy, as a remnant of New York State, she also voted in favor of the war vote, and now she has spoken out, and has begun to criticize the original decision-this somewhat makes people feel that she is not reliable, but Anti-war sentiment was growing. If it is really as predicted by Daniel, the US-Iraq war will last for ten years. Then there will be two presidential elections, and it is not special news that Senator Hillary intends to be elected. In November this year, Bush Jr. will end his first term in office. At present, it seems that it is difficult for Kerry and Edwards of the Democratic Party to challenge his position. Generally speaking, the re-election of the president of the United States is very frequent. Senator Lee should aim for 2008.

In fact, Daniel is also very clear that Ciri did give it a go in 2008. It's a pity that he was defeated by a young African-American from Illinois, and he didn't even pass the party's primary election. Daniel doesn't think he has the ability to control the situation. But in general, Hilly, who will succeed the Secretary of State later, is still very valuable for investment. What's more, before he came to the United States, this old man in his 60s was planning to run for the 2016 election again, which can be described as old and strong. Across the political arena.

Shirley and others changed their words,

At least it is considering voters. That is the perception of ordinary people, and Daniel is the same. His influence is also based on the perception of ordinary people. He has never repeated himself, and has always insisted that war is wrong, and he will never be grandstanding, which will definitely win a lot of favor.

In addition, Daniel's activities in Africa also made many people look at him with admiration. Of course, he did not waste this resource. The presence of two African ambassadors at the party in Washington is ample proof of this. Many African countries have been criticized by Western countries, especially the United States, who believe that they are very bad in areas such as democracy and human rights, which directly leads to the instability of the rulers. Therefore, having a Hollywood superstar who can show them a more enlightened and friendly image in the United States must be very popular with the authorities.

As for whether the influence of a leader of a small African country is comparable to that of a legendary superstar like Daniel, that is a matter of different opinions.

MPAA basically controls the channels of communication between Hollywood and the political circles, which itself adds to the authority of this organization.

And since Daniel and Robert Iger fought, the two sides shook hands on the surface to make peace, but Daniel also knew that Robert had started to tamper with other places. This time, Robert, who valued it very much, put the matter within the framework of MPAA, although there was no He held a summit solemnly, but also communicated many times within this framework, such as telephone calls, or meetings in twos and threes, with the help of temporary exchanges in some event occasions, etc. Robert has indeed done a lot of work for this. It's not that Daniel didn't hear the news, but these people who can know the details will not reveal their feelings to him, including Stacy Schneider who seems to be closer. She was threatened by Daniel, and now I am afraid that she is afraid It is second only to Robert Iger.

However, when Robert mentioned his plan, the others were still stunned.

Let Daniel win the Oscar!

Are you crazy, Robert.

Paramount's Brad Gray isn't too close to Daniel, having had a brief exchange at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean. There is absolutely no way to understand the point Robert made.

Aren't you really working for him? I heard that Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean sequel has almost been discussed. He will return to filming next year and has countless film contracts. It is understandable for you to please him at this time. But, Robert, Are you taking us all for idiots? How much halo he has on his head now, I can guarantee that if he comes back to New York to run for the Senate, the former First Lady will definitely have a sleepless night. Now , you want to give him a serial actor and make him a real legend in Hollywood from now on, I am really curious, how much benefit has he given you?

Is it true that Daniel joined Miramax? Fox's McNico asked suddenly.

These people are the top figures in Hollywood, and few news can be hidden from them.

It's no secret that Robert invited Daniel to Miramax itself. After the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Disney became public, the news spread even more brazenly. Here, if there is no Robert helping the flames. It's also unlikely, whether he really hoped so, or whether he used it to drive a wedge between Daniel and Harvey, so that the Weinstein brothers would have one less chance to hook up, no one knows.

When McNicole asks now, it may not be that he really thinks so, but he is just mocking Robert Iger.

When meeting Robert. Warner's Jeff Robinov tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, frowning.

What on earth are you thinking?

That must be the real question asked by anyone who meets Robert. It is also a question that Robert must have been prepared for, otherwise he hastily mentioned that he wants to win a consecutive actor for Daniel, and it is impossible to say that everyone will raise their hands in favor. Whether it is Brad or McNicol, their attitudes are not difficult to understand. No matter how you express your position, the ultimate goal is also consistent with Jeff.

Why?

What reason do you have?

How are you going to convince me?

Jeff, first of all, for the studio, what is the difference between Daniel who won another Oscar winner and Daniel today? Can he be stronger? Can he get a salary of 100 million? He can make dd film become The eighth largest film company in Hollywood, the new United Artists?

Jeff shook his head. He understood what Robert meant. In addition to the ceiling set by the seven major stars for the stars, the profession itself also has a ceiling. Now Daniel has reached the ceiling. In any case, he couldn't go any further.

As for how to judge that he has reached this apex.

Except Daniel. Only the ceiling he reaches has immediate sensations.

Jeff glanced at Robert. He didn't like turning corners, and now that Robert was making it happen, he had enough of a stand to be straightforward.

What price does he want for the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean? 20+20?

He knew that Daniel had 30% of the investment rights. If it is really the 20+20 he guessed, then it is obvious. Daniel will take almost half of the proceeds in the sequel of Pirates, and half of the proceeds of a sequel with a global value of 800-1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 of Daniel is about to take away half, this can be called ceiling no matter what can be called -- Tom Cruise Didn't it hit Paramount's ceiling? Mission: Impossible has not sold as well as Pirates of the Caribbean.

After a moment of silence, Robert knew that it would be difficult to impress these colleagues if he didn't give something concrete today.

Who is stupider than whom? Nobody is dumber than anyone else!

...I hope that the last two sequels will be filmed back to back, with a total budget of 450 million. Robert has always been very decisive. Now that he has decided to make it clear, he no longer shy away from it. This is also in consideration of dd film industry. Insufficient cash flow, I will give up part of the investment rights. In addition, I also hope to limit his share and give a relatively high basic remuneration. Daniel did not agree. They insisted on shooting separately to ease financial pressure. The middle asking price is 30 million yuan, with a 20% share.

Jeff almost gasped.

Daniel's price tag is too harsh.

Unbelievable, how could he bid such a price?

There is no reason, although Warner and Daniel don't do much together, but his New Line Films and Daniel are old acquaintances. Jeff is also very concerned about Daniel, knowing that this person is not so ignorant. But since Robert said that Daniel had bid the price, it was true.

This made him very confused.

In the beginning, I mean since the last time we détente, he wasn't making such aggressive offers, but with him taking a break from Hollywood, all of a sudden it's been vague, you know, recently in Washington, D.C. Flying back and forth with Silicon Valley, and occasionally returning to Los Angeles only to meet people from DD Films.

Daniel's whereabouts can't be hidden from Robert and others, and even the party that Bradley of the Washington Post can attend is difficult to hide from them.

The level of the party was so high, and the crowd so rich, that Robert was confused and nervous.

Is there no way to know what he is busy with?

I can't touch it. He pays attention to his whereabouts. It's not easy to know his approximate whereabouts.

The anti-reconnaissance skills of Hollywood stars are accumulated over time, especially a master like Daniel. Since entering the industry, he has been fighting against a large number of paparazzi of various varieties. Robert is not. He can use all kinds of information, and it is not easy for him to grasp the general itinerary of Daniel.

Politicians, Silicon Valley, Hollywood—a troubling combination indeed.

Okay, let's talk about it later, Lian Zhuang Actor, how do you think about it?

He's groping for the ceiling, let's push him again and let him hit it! Robert looked cold.

Having said that, there is no need for him to waste any more words.

Whether it's Jeff, McNicot or Brad, they should understand what he means.

Of course they know that when the moon is full, it will lose, when the water is full, it will overflow, and when it is full, it will decline.

Daniel is at the peak right now, if you can't pull him down, then continue to push him and shorten his peak period.

With Daniel's current market situation, and another actor with a streak, anyone can imagine what the result will be. Tom Hanks can roughly give an example.

When the fire cooks oil, if it is overburned, it will be a handful of ashes.

Humans have the desire to create gods, but they also have the instinct to destroy gods.

Daniel is standing too high, which in itself becomes an uncomfortable point.

Pushing Daniel into this embarrassing situation made him a more obedient moneymaker, less unaffordable though necessary.

Originally, with the power of the MPAA members, if they wanted to contain Daniel, they could have used more brutal methods. However, Robert first understood that that would not work! Why? Daniel's tentacles are already too long, and it is difficult to get a good result when confronted head-on. Hollywood is not an independent kingdom, and they are not irreplaceable. Even if they are united as one, as long as one is replaced, the alliance will be broken.

But if the strategy of flattering and killing is adopted, then there is no problem.

No matter what they are thinking, no matter whether they are good or bad in their hearts, the actor of Lian Zhuang is a Hollywood actor walking up the legendary ladder, and they handed it to Daniel, which is completely a legitimate and bright conspiracy.

...

Robert finally convinced everyone.

However, Daniel didn't know yet, and neither did Sean Penn, the actor super-popular.

But the limelight soon blew to Daniel's ears.

The call was from Harvey Weinstein -- a bit of a surprise, but that's it -- and Trevor hadn't heard from it yet.

There is power in canvassing for you.

Harvey knew that Daniel had no intention of doing this and didn't use any contacts, so this sign of opportunity was a bit meaningful.

Looking at the f2f report, putting down the phone, Daniel rubbed the bridge of his nose. (to be continued)
