Ace Hollywood

It is a pleasure to communicate with the creators of When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door. Everyone has very similar ideas and almost the same understanding of the film. They even had time to call Will Smith who was training for the new movie in New York - the new movie is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action movie. After a brief transition, Will returned to the Warner Bros. action movie. Clearly, Will is worried and restless after leaving the action genre.

Daniel's endorsement reassured everyone, including Gabriel, who were concerned about the box-office whirlwind of MGM and DD in the summer.

Bad Teacher 130 million, High School Musical 180 million, Magic Mike 54.42 million, and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has already reached 210 million - these are all North American box office, and all of them are in hit theaters, even Bad Teacher, there are still nearly 2 million income on weekdays, and it is not very difficult to exceed 16 million throughout the week. As for High School Musical, it is currently predicted that its final figure will exceed 200 million, which is already a generally accepted point of view. Whether it is 250 million or 280 million - it is impossible to reach 300 million, what can it expand the miracle to? degree? Despite the invincible whirlwind of Pirate 2, Magic Mike still performed well, which shows that it is also a high probability event that it will eventually break through 100 million.

Don't think breaking a billion is an easy task.

In the whole year of 2005, there were only 21 works with a box office of more than 100 million in North America - and there were more than 21 production companies in North America. What's more, these 21 films were all affiliated to the six major Hollywood studios except MGM , DD Pictures, and DreamWorks, if you count the new line independently operated by Warner, then there are 9 companies.

Now all three of MGM's three films, with an investment of less than 20 million, have all exceeded 100 million, especially High School Musical even broke 200 million - easily accumulating the North American annual box office to more than 400 million! Considering that at the end of the year, MGM will have its only masterpiece 007 series of new films released, so it is not a big problem for the annual North American box office to reach 700-800 million. This figure is completely right for the top seven in Hollywood. , as more projects start, especially the launch of this batch of small-cost sequels, MGM's prospects can be expected.

therefore. MGM's amazing performance in the summer file is worthy of special mention anyway.

...

When we arrived at Karst Cave Town by car from Tiangang Airport, it was 1:40 pm, 50 minutes before their agreed time.

This allowed Daniel to take a leisurely look at the scenery of Phoenix. This city was founded 25 years ago. It is the fifth largest city in the United States, although it has only 1.5 million people. The climate is dry and hot - that's why it's called Phoenix. As the capital of Arizona, the distance between Phoenix and Los Angeles is not far, after all, California and Arizona are adjacent.

But this is indeed the first time Daniel has arrived in this inland city, and his actions are extremely secretive. Most of the people who pay attention to him should follow his Mercedes-Benz and stay at DD Films - when the car drives directly into the underground garage, no one will know whether there is someone there or not, and Daniel's office is a unique place. All in all, ordinary employees of DD Films cannot know for sure whether Daniel is in the company, and they have nothing to communicate with Daniel directly. As for David, Ferguson, and Melissa, if they can be bought by reporters, Daniel will not Necessary to do these ridiculous cover-ups.

Mel and Christian, along with their three children, greet guests at the door.

Daniel is casual. He and Melissa stepped out of the car.

Love and career are the two treasures to maintain a woman's brilliance, this sentence is definitely true for Mel. Daniel just took a look. The 30-year-old full-time mother with 3 children in front of her is much younger than most of her peers—not because of her good figure or tender skin, but because you can Feel her body filled with a breath - full of hope and enthusiasm for life.

Wow, what a happy family.

Daniel reached out to shake hands with Christian first, then hugged Mel, and then squatted down to touch the faces of Mel's three children. The youngest, Allie, hid behind his mother, grabbed her by one foot, and peeked at Daniel from the sidelines.

You're welcome, Daniel.

The host family was clearly proud of Daniel's personal visit.

Neither Mel nor Christian. Both were in awe and awe of the famed superstar—now when he arrived at their residence and saw the novel they had, it was an unspeakably wonderful experience.

The arrangement in the family is very warm, and it can be seen that Mel did not relax to take care of her small family because of writing, even though she is now the most profitable person in the family.

Try it. These are coffee beans my friend sent me.

Mel puts several cups of coffee on the coffee table.

Daniel waved to Ai Li, who had relaxed a lot. Little Ai Li looked at his smiling parents, and squeezed to Daniel's side. What needs to be said is that Mel's house is not a mansion, although it cannot be said It's narrow, but the separated living room is not that big. There are eight people squeezed in, even if there are three children, it's a bit cramped.

Hold little Allie in your arms.

“Honestly, Mel, I was really happy to hear that Paramount dropped Twilight — that might have been a little bit unkind, sorry.”

No, no.

Mel obviously didn't care much.

But, Daniel, I didn't think you'd be interested in it.

Of course, why not? So many readers love Isabella and Edward so much, and of course I love them too. Daniel glanced at Melissa.

Melissa took out a report clearly from her bag.

We even made a simple plan for this, you can look at it.

Christian motioned for Mel to watch first.

The above is the budget amount, work positioning, script creation ideas, and performance expectations. It's not too long. Mel finished reading it and handed it over to Christian. It took less than half an hour in total.

To be honest, Mel, if I hadn't been optimistic about Twilight, I wouldn't have appeared in Phoenix, because before I came, I didn't know you had such lovely three children. Daniel flattered his pregnant daughter a little. I think this is a story full of appeal. It directly hits the true meaning of love, and the setting of vampires, although not new, can even be called old-fashioned. But in a film that focuses on youthful love In the movie. Definitely makes Edward one of the most charismatic leading men. I can almost guarantee you that young people will love it, and even go crazy for Edward.

Daniel personally came off the stage to communicate with Stephanie Meyer about how he would deal with this outstanding work if DD Pictures got the right to adapt it.

As a contented full-time housewife. Money wasn't the most important factor for Mel. Because selling books has earned her enough returns, and she is indeed not an insatiable person, now she hopes that her work can be better represented-and, no one thinks that spending 1 million can win Twilight, isn't it?

Mel remained calm until Daniel became agitated when he suggested that a group of women would be producing the production.

Really?

Yes, except for the male actors! The screenwriter will be yourself, and I will also invite an outstanding female screenwriter to help you, and the director will also be a woman. The producer will be Melissa herself.

Oh no no, professionals should write the script, and I can participate in it. Mel was obviously a little excited, and she was not a pure feminist. But the birth of this work was originally the self-salvation and awakening of a depressed married woman who doubted love-if it could be produced by a purely female team, it would be too meaningful.

Christian patted his wife on the shoulder.

It looks like you've reached an agreement.

It has been nearly 3 hours since Daniel entered the house, and the communication can be said to be quite sufficient.

What do you think, Chris. I think everything is great.

Christian is much calmer than the more emotional Mel, but thankfully, he has no objections. To be honest, I think there are advantages and disadvantages in entrusting Twilight to big companies such as Paramount and Universal. On the contrary, some smaller production companies may be more appropriate-they Will pay more attention to the original work and Stephanie's opinion. They may also invest more attention and energy than those big companies-after all, compared to such huge works as Batman and Pirates of the Caribbean. We are worried about the potential attention for City. But now I think DD Films may be the most suitable-you have made a lot of excellent small and medium-budget films in the past few years, you have a lot of experience, and you have never tried your hands. It puts us at ease.

You won't regret today's decision, I promise.

Daniel, although I know it's impossible, I'd be very excited if you could play Edward. Mel said excitedly suddenly.

Christian was taken aback, and looked at his wife helplessly, It's really not easy. Finally, after we reached an agreement, she showed her true nature. Daniel, she is your loyal movie fan—we have kept you in our bedroom until now. Blu-ray DVDs of all works, and a large number of peripheral decorations.

My elf prince! cried little Allie suddenly.

That should be Legolas' figure.

Daniel and Melissa looked at each other, which was a pleasant surprise.

Daniel, will you sign some names for me on the DVD later, okay? Mel began to transform into a real movie fan.

Well, of course, no problem.

So, Melissa and Christian continued to negotiate, while Mel led Daniel upstairs, into the room of Little Allie and his brother, and he saw the toy in the image of Legolas at a glance—then Mel dragged Daniel A small box came in.

School Blues, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, Gladiator, Legally Blonde, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Bourne Bourne—indeed, all of Daniel’s participation, whether in lead or supporting role All the works performed are in it. He also saw a lot of DD Films productions, but he didn't star in the movies. (To be continued.)

ps: For half a day every day, all the data is motionless, which is the performance of no recommendation. .
