Ace Hollywood

Daniel is not sure which side Jon Landau is on. 【 】

You know, since the Writers Guild of America decided to go on strike on November 5th, a lot of actors have joined it, including Holly Hunter, Julian Moore, Steve Carell, Tim Rowe Binns and Robin Williams, the biggest of which is comedian Ben Stiller, but a lot of attention is on Daniel Sandler.

He is so special.

Before the end of October this year, the Screenwriters Union has been negotiating with the Film and Television Producers Association—and the latter is controlled by the production companies. Naturally, DD Pictures, MGM Pictures, etc. are among them, so in fact, Daniel and the screenwriters are on opposite sides, belonging to the group that needs to be knocked down.

However, Daniel himself has always been quite low-key, mainly because he is operating the acquisition of Marvel, and there are no public activities. The media also did not have the opportunity to press questions face-to-face. This was the first time he attended an event to accept questions since the matter fermented. So everyone is almost excited. You know, Daniel can represent DD Films, but DD Films cannot represent Daniel—this sentence is a bit of a mouthful. In fact, in the negotiations with the Film and Television Producers Association, no matter it is It's still the producers' union, it's a whole, it's impossible to say that dd film stepped forward to reach an agreement with the screenwriters union - so that dd film doesn't have to mess around in Hollywood. So at that time, dd film industry was advancing and retreating with other companies, which itself is understandable.

However, Daniel himself is different. As an influential actor and investor, his own attitude can exist independently of DD Films.

In other words, he can speak up to support the screenwriters-this is the current politically correct choice.

What's your attitude?

Jon chatted with him a few words about Juno, but obviously absent-minded, and finally pointed out the problem directly-if Daniel has been going around there, then Jon can't continue to remain silent.

Daniel paused.

You have to tell me first, what is your position? You are a producer, and you have such a good relationship with Fox. So you are against reaching an agreement with the screenwriters union, aren't you?

No, why object? Jon shook his head quickly, I have no objection. Daniel. Don't be kidding. You know the attitude of the production company better than anyone else. Now it's just a matter of conditions. It's impossible for the screenwriters to say as much as they want. How much, it's impossible.

Daniel's face was still relatively relaxed. For him, this doesn't seem to be a problem. Seriously, at the end of 2007, he can completely rely on himself to provide the script for the company. Of course, in the long run, no one can do it alone.

United Artists and Lionsgate seem to have started contacting the screenwriters union. Do you know?

A shrewd gleam flashed in Jon's eyes.

Daniel, you've been paying close attention to this matter, haven't you? You're really cunning and act like you don't care.

This is simply slander, how could I not care about the strike, DD, MGM, are waiting for screenwriters every day-of course we have reserves, but that is not always the solution to the problem.

Jon Landau failed to get a single word from him, and in fact, there was no need to do so. In the end, the major studios still have to move in unison.

At this point, Daniel has nothing to do. But he actually decided to do something, of course. He can also just run away, you know, DD Films, which has been prepared in advance, is the company in Hollywood that is least afraid of strikes.

Take MGM as an example, its two blockbuster films, the 22nd episode of the 007 series. And the first script of The Hobbit has been completed. As for the sequel of Dancing Out of My Life, Magic Mike 2 and other films are also ready, and the lower limit of the script has even been relaxed, and a lot of scripts have been stored. Potential script and ip.

Some media even claimed that DD Films had received news from the screenwriters union in advance.

Of course, this is unverifiable. However, dd Pictures has become much calmer because of this, and there is no doubt about it.

Under this premise, Daniel has a relatively large room for manipulation.

This time, he attended the premiere of Juno. It would be unrealistic to say that he was not prepared for anything. But whether he can achieve his wish is not something he can completely control. After all, when it comes to personal interests, no matter whether you are Daniel Sandler or a small person, the effect is actually not much worse.

...

After the interview with the main creator, Daniel Sandler accepted a group interview.

Everyone's faces were filled with an excited expression of finally caught you.

Hello, Daniel, what are your expectations for the box office of Juno?

The reporters seemed to be in no rush to ask the most important questions, and they still took pride in asking about the topic of Juno first.

I'm sure people will love her. She's cool and powerful, isn't she? The director, the writers, the actors, they're all amazingly talented and they've put together a fantastic piece of work that deserves to be welcomed.

So, Daniel, has Megan Fox seen this movie? Does she like it?

Huh? Daniel shook his head with a smile. She probably hasn't read it. As for whether she likes it, after she reads it, you can ask for me.

After several rounds of box office and scandal, finally, the reporter of Los Angeles Times couldn't bear it anymore.

Daniel, you just said that you are very confident in Juno. Is it because talk shows and TV shows have been suspended due to the writers' strike, and everyone is eager to see more good movies? What do you think about this matter? We I know that the screenwriters, as well as some actors, are constantly hoping that you can come out to support them, but as the owner of DD Films, is your attitude consistent with that of the Filmmakers Association? Moreover, George Clooney, Tom... Hanks and others are trying to mediate for both parties, do you have any plans? Do you have any specific plans?

Ah, Daniel laughed for a long time, This reporter friend asked a lot of questions, and I can't remember them all. But I will try my best to answer you one by one. It's a competitive movie, I'm confident about it. Regarding the strike, I think expressing demands is a kind of power. Of course, I hope that when all parties fight for their own rights, they can also take into account the rights of others , especially the audience, as you said, the audience is starting to get tired of boring TV shows and repetitive episodes, which is not good for anyone.

And then there's my attitude, right? I support both sides making more efforts to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Finally, will I mediate?

Speaking of the last question, Daniel paused, and finally nodded.

Yes, I will try to do this next. The strike has been going on for a month, and it seems that there is no end in sight. I hope to solve this problem before the second Social Times Public Choice Awards.

You mean you're going to intervene next?

The reporter who asked the question just now repeatedly confirmed that this is amazing. For a month, Daniel has been in a state of invisibility, and everyone thought he was going to be silent to the end.

Daniel gave him a definite answer again.

Yes! (To be continued.)
