stood up and stretched.

Cusa, sitting behind Daniel, looked at his back, "Daniel, you are now more and more like a... Well, how to say, you are no longer a mere actor anyway. Talk about his film projects and even industry trends. Come on, like studio bosses."

Daniel laughed.

"By the way, what did Melanie say?"

A few days ago, Melanie Sloan, Scarlett Johansson's mother, intends to make Kusa Scarlett's agent. At that time, Cusa also asked Daniel's opinion. As part of the work of the film project was assigned to DD Films, Melissa also grew up and was responsible for part of the work. Come to do the surgery, but compared to before, his workload has been reduced a lot.

After all, he is only Daniel's big agent, and it is not his job to work with investment and studios, and from the rules, he can't get involved in the daily work of the studios. Therefore, taking this opportunity to expand our customer base is a development direction of Kusa's business.

"It's basically settled. What do you think of Scarlett's development?"

Daniel glanced at him, "She will do whatever you want. Isn't that how we came here in the beginning? Ask her if she is interested in Elizabeth in "Pirates of the Caribbean"? I can ask Jerry recommend it."

"Is what you said true?"

"It's just a recommendation, of course I can decide."

That being said, once Daniel decides to recommend a candidate, whether it is Jerry or the new director Rob Marshall will pay attention, which is of course. If Scarlett and other candidates are similar, or slightly inferior, they are very likely to win this role.

This is the heroine of the billion-dollar investment, even if it is a vase, it is absolutely incredible.

Kusa was obviously moved. After talking about Scarlett, Elizabeth also flashed in his mind, but the situation was still different. Now there are quite a few people who want to fight for this role. Disney, some actresses on the B-list and A-list edges, show a lot of intentions.

However, this kind of role that does not require much acting skills is often a good opportunity to be used as a human relationship.

The two leading actresses in Rob Marshall's new film "Chicago", Catherine Zeta-Jones leaned on veteran actor Michael Douglas and didn't like this opportunity, but with the hit "BJ's Single Diary" No. 1 Renee Zweig, who was nominated for an Oscar once, sent her resume through Rob.

However, she is not good-looking enough, and Daniel even expressed his incomprehension that Rob chose her to play Roxy.

Roxy in "Chicago" may be able to make a living, but Elizabeth's identity background must require the actor to maintain a certain degree of innocence. In addition, beauty is essential. According to the design of the script, both Will and Elizabeth should It is an actor who is very good looking, otherwise, under the charm of Captain Jack, it will really weaken a lot. She originally played the role of Keira Knightley. Her acting skills are more than enough for this role, but her looks are not enough. Even if you make up, you have to look at the basics. At this point, even if she has not yet revealed her peerless beauty Style, Scarlett Johansson is also more suitable than Kayla with the help of a makeup artist at this time.

And Scarlett also has an advantage. Jerry's side proposed Will's candidate. The inertia of history came back at this time. Orlando Bloom, who missed Legolas, only appeared in a few British films after graduation. After soy sauce, Jerry still took a fancy to him. He can only say that it belongs to him, and it is still his. Daniel has no plans to stop him, and to be honest, Daniel feels that starting from Will is definitely better than starting from Lai. Goras got off to a good start. Although Will is not so bright, he has some performances. He is more suitable for the current Orlando than the elf prince who is purely face-off. If he is caring enough, Orlando, who does not have the limitation of the elf prince, may be able to. Become a well-developed one of this generation of Hollywood actors.

Now that Jerry has proposed a candidate for a supporting actor, Daniel will not stop him if he wants to sell the heroine's favor. As for Rob Marshall, to be honest, "Chicago" has not achieved those results. As a director who joined later, he really doesn't have much say in the starring role. After all, Jerry's company is a co-producer, and Daniel It is the second largest investor and a superstar in its prime.

Cusa also knows these things very well, so since Daniel opened his mouth, as long as Scarlett is a little bit more aggressive, I am afraid that a big leap will soon be ushered in.

"I think she thanked you."

"So, are you pimping? For a 17-year-old girl."

"No, then I will worry that my little cash cow will be killed by Porsche."

Daniel's tongue quickly trembled in his mouth, making an inexplicable sound. Cusa understood what that meant, which was roughly equivalent to: Your gibberish won.

"I have to go to DD in the afternoon. I'm not very satisfied with the version of "Greek Wedding". There are some materials that are more suitable. I asked David to invite Nia and Joey. I need to hold a meeting to make an appointment."

Cusa nodded, and suddenly remembered that one of the scripts and emails on his side was seen last night and needed to be discussed with Daniel.

"Miramax's new film is said to have a large investment. The title of the film is temporarily called "Cold Mountain", which tells the story of a deserter during the Civil War. It is said that the heroine is Nicole Kidman." He briefly described the story of the script, and then added a gossip, "Tom Cruise originally intended for your role, but then gave up."

"Because of Nicole?"

"It shouldn't be, Nicole didn't have a heroine yet."

Daniel nodded. In any case, the two of them will definitely not be able to appear in the same film now, and they may not be able to clear up the past ten years later.

He also understands the reason why Cusa brought up "Cold Mountain" alone. He has a good relationship with Harvey. In the list of producers of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", the Weinstein brothers are among them, and more Needless to say, at the time of Daniel's Oscar, the two sides also cooperated. Of course, it doesn't count who owes the other. Human exchanges and US dollars are all business.

After thinking about it, Daniel still shook his head, "Forget it, I'll call Harvey later and talk to him. The time is not too late, and the release and promotion of "Greek Wedding" still needs me. "

This time, after Tom Hanks and Daniel discussed the distribution of "Greek Wedding", they decided not to hand it over to the Big Six, but IFC and DD to work together. IFC has a background of CNN, and DD is much weaker. , and Tom Hanks has much more influence in the industry than Daniel Sandler, so it seems that the two are actually quite unequal.

However, this kind of cooperation can be carried out precisely based on the understanding of the actual situation by both parties. In terms of popularity and box office conversion, Daniel, who is popular and has continued to make excellent works, is establishing his own golden brand, and his appeal to consumer groups, especially young people, will not be weaker than Tom Hanks. This is not a joke, Fox News recently conducted a social survey involving more than 14,000 people, selected ten popular Hollywood actors, and asked people of all ages to choose who they would go to the movie theater for. Fox did not do a general summary of the results because random selection was not based on the actual proportion of the population in each age group. The results show that among the 13-17-year-old group, Daniel is a top performer, stewing both old and beautiful soups. Matt Damon is slightly inferior to him, and Brad Pitt ranks third. . In the 17-21 age group, Jim Carrey rose to third place, leaving the top two unchanged. It wasn't until the age of 35-45 that Tom Hanks beat Daniel's fourth in second place ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Russell Crowe was in first place.

With just this statistic, Daniel can speak to the cinema. Hollywood is ultimately a place where interests come first. Of course, it can give you Tom Hanks a face in peacetime, but when it comes to his own performance, even if The seven Hollywood publishers at this level don't have much to do with the three major theater chains.

This is also a good opportunity for DD Pictures to form its own distribution team.

After this training, the next time I release "Hotel Rwanda", I can follow MGM and Lionsgate for a calibration. After two experiences, DD should be able to undertake the independent distribution of a low-cost film. As for foreign distribution, at least the European part, at present, we can only rely on cooperation with local companies to sell part of the benefits. , it is better to cooperate with others to publish.

Cusa got Daniel's attitude, so "Cold Mountain" naturally doesn't have to worry anymore. Although Daniel's cooperation is often the key film of major companies, a competent agent can't throw those small screenwriters and small companies over. The script was ignored. Besides, Daniel, who now has a DD Film in his hand, has different requirements for the script. Although DD himself has a channel for receiving scripts, it is not that no one throws it into his hands.
