Ace Hollywood

Daniel is very sincere about his dislike of Japanese horror films—an excuse he came up with.

"This film will not bring us good memories, I have a hunch."

He specially invited the Gore Verbinskis to his Malibu home, and Melissa and Andy helped him entertain Gore's wife and children.

Gore wasn't very good at covering up, and Daniel's rejection seemed to relieve him.

"Oh, Gore—"

Daniel reflected that Gore seemed to have such a big voice in his films, in other words, it might be difficult for him to convince other people.

"I used to feel guilty, but now we don't owe each other. Little Weiss, what do you think?"

Weiss is Gore's youngest son, with big eyes and very cute.

He seemed to like Daniel quite a bit, and kept holding Daniel's index finger with a smile.

Rejecting "The Bell in the US" not only did not affect the relationship with Gore, but instead deepened their friendship, which was beyond Daniel's expectations.

But the more unexpected thing is in the back.

Cusa Damon quickly finalized the "My Big Greek Wedding" cooperation with IFC.

David, who is about to end his global trip, will return to Los Angeles in the near future, and then he will study with the group. He will not point fingers, but as the executive who supervises the investment of five million US dollars between him and Daniel, it is more suitable.

David invested 3 million and Daniel invested 2 million, both of which were invested in the name of "DoubleD" Pictures under David's name - the name was taken from the initials of David and Daniel, referred to as DD Pictures.

The equity share of this independent film production company, which was registered a year ago, is that David invested 9 million US dollars and accounted for 51%, and Daniel invested 4 million + industry resources and company priority accounted for 49% - this is the result of both parties' insistence , David originally wanted to hand over the controlling stake to Daniel, but Daniel couldn't take such a big advantage, but David's rhetoric also makes sense - at this stage, DD Pictures wants to grow, and Daniel's importance is far greater than David's money ! Moreover, the operation of the company is bound to rely on Daniel's low-cost performance, or even select and produce projects to promote, then this share ratio will no longer be appropriate.

Therefore, the two parties negotiated, and within one year, Daniel purchased 10% of the DD shares from David by injecting 2 million yuan, thereby transferring the controlling stake.

These seemingly unnecessary tossing have been unanimously approved by the investment managers of David and Daniel.

Institutions need to be developed and followed from the outset.

The news that Daniel invested and participated in "My Grand Greek Wedding" was soon disclosed by the media. This is the harm of small companies. DD and even IFC have a hard time hiding the news. It was not clear which of these movie plans were actually implemented.

"Act, share, and invest -- albeit at a small discount every step of the way, but Daniel **** is walking firmly into superstardom."

The new report from "Entertainment Weekly" cannot be called biased.

After a brief analysis of Daniel's Hollywood experience in the past two or three years, "Weekly" sighed, "When MGM decided to give him a 5% profit share last year, everyone was shocked, but today he will take It's no surprise that the new film's 10% box-office share -- of course, these two opportunities are different. However, this subtle change also shows the Brooklyn boy's success in Hollywood to some extent. Now, DD Films, which he participated in, has invested in a million-dollar film—cooperating with Tom Hanks. Who can say that next year he will not invest and take a share of the investment of hundreds of millions? ?"

This period is a little too much.

But the wind did not last long.

With the continuous release of the news of "The Bell in the Midnight", the big-mouthed Gore revealed that he once invited Daniel to play the leading role, but was "poorly" rejected.

The news that he was bewildered by "Oscars and dollars" suddenly occupied the mainstream.

This is indeed two very different opportunities. One is a romantic comedy with a dim future and is not even sure if it can pass the preview week, and the other is a well-known horror film IP with an investment of 60 million. According to the "San Francisco Chronicle" statement.

"Obviously, the lure of being an investor and enjoying the box office cut made Daniel give up on a big production, and we can only hope his luck still works this time."

……

"Daniel, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it would happen."

Gore was still inexperienced, and Daniel certainly couldn't blame him.

It's just that when Triver was busy, it was inevitable that Gore was a "fat man with no heart" in private.

Who asked him to give Triver such a big trouble.

Daniel is currently attending various events intensively, and there are many opportunities for reporters to ask face-to-face questions.

"Yes, Gore is my good friend, I am very grateful for his invitation, but because of my lack of understanding of Japanese horror, I regretfully declined "Midnight", which has nothing to do with other movies. What a direct relationship. As for the other film, yes, it's a romantic comedy, mostly filmed in Canada, and I was so moved by the story, Nia is a very talented person, and I think the same thing as Tom Hanks Yes, we all want to help with such a heartwarming production, and we feel that audiences are entitled to a story like this."

Of course, there is no way to appease the media with such high-sounding words.

However, Triver's methods are not bad~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Some influential media will still give him face, and will not start from criticizing Daniel too much. Laughing at Daniel's eyes.

"See, Mr. Cusa, your tendency has made me ridiculed by the national media."

Cusa Damon didn't recognize it at all.

"Come on, Mr. Sandler, as if none of this has anything to do with you, I don't expect you to be a marionette."

Against this cloudy cloud, Daniel attended the Oscar nominee luncheon, and also participated in several Oscar eve parties held by various magazines and groups.

On the eve of the awards, even with three trophies in hand, Daniel's odds gradually increased to the same level as Willem Dafoe, 1 to 1.5, Benisot a little higher 1:2, Jeb and Albert respectively It's 1:5 and 1:7.2 - those are the odds for two basic outs.

"Burberry is very generous this time, but did you really decide to wear your own clothes?"

An old British gentleman, Tim Rowland, introduced Daniel to an Italian handmade dress shop, and the other party came to Hollywood to tailor it for him.

"Melissa said it was too slow, and we had to urge him."

Endorsement negotiations with Burberry entered a substantial stage, but Burberry ultimately did not agree to a contract before the Oscars - even though Melissa expressed dissatisfaction.

So Daniel decided to give them some color to see.

(Thank you for the reward, good name—)
