This is Daniel's SAT score, and he then put the screenshot of the query on the personal MB interface.

Yes, it means that he is very close to Berkeley, as long as there is no accident in the SAT2 level test, he will be able to enter Berkeley

That's not all good news for Daniel's fans.

On the one hand, they're deeply proud of their idols, and yes, getting into UC Berkeley isn't easy for most Americans either. On the other hand, it's also an obvious sign: Daniel is really going to start college next year.

Although Daniel did not respond to his life after entering college, it is not an easy task to complete the credits. If Daniel was going to get his degree in one fell swoop, like Natalie, he would probably have to stay at Berkeley for at least three or four years. If not, then maybe his college life will be extended.

"Yes, I told you, I didn't think about graduating on time, it doesn't even matter if I don't graduate, I just want to be able to learn some systematically, and seriously, if I didn't make too much progress in the past, I should apply for one now An MBA from Wharton or Harvard. But it’s okay now, although the things taught in undergraduate are relatively simple, but the basics are also very important.”

Facing Sally's questioning again, Daniel kindly explained her doubts.

Sally asked this while scouring the internet for trending topics.

"You have a decision, then Fox, when are you going to meet Bill?"

"Night at the Museum?"

Sally nodded.

Many companies now hope to negotiate a contract in 2005 before Daniel ends his work in 2003. Although Daniel has been in contact, he is more cautious, because a leak of the contract means that Daniel decides to return before then. Going to Hollywood to start working again, though, the barriers of public opinion are basically gone. But leaving a suspense, is often beneficial.

"Would they like to be unsure about when to start filming?"

"Bill said a nondisclosure agreement could be signed."

Daniel smiled and looked at Sally, winking. "He's such a funny guy."

Confidentiality agreements are useful and sometimes useful, but most of the time they are useless. Take this collaboration between Daniel and Fox for example. Even if it leaks out, will Daniel go to court with Fox for this? At most, it's a face-to-face mention at the meeting...even, there's no such thing. Everyone is a pragmatist. Since everything has already happened, it is definitely inappropriate to let it affect the cooperation between the two parties.

"Night at the Museum" is a small-budget comedy from Fox. The reason why they will use it to invite Daniel is of course the most important reason for "Fake God" that is currently being released, and secondly, it is also a test of the water.

Daniel took a year off from work this time. It is also considered to be an artificially known demarcation point.

Before this, Daniel was a developing actor, and there was nothing to negotiate with the studio. After that, the largest studio, that is, the top seven in the industry, must adapt to develop a new ecological relationship with Daniel.

In other words, Daniel will bring funds into the group and co-produce.

"I remember they were going to invest 12 million in this project?"

"It's the budget they made, if you come in. It's definitely going to be adjusted."

"Do we have a plan?"

"They voted 15 million, you 0 basic salary, 40% of the price investment, in addition. Take 15 points to share the box office."

Daniel nodded, "So, we're going to take the big head off, do you think they'll do it?"

"Of course, this is already a very polite plan, after all. The movie still belongs to Fox. Besides, they may not pay attention to this work, maybe they just want to see how it feels to work together? It is convenient to follow us in a larger project. Join hands."

"What's the big deal with Fox? We're never going to let me play the X-Men, or die hard—"

Daniel suddenly froze there, Fox, big project.

If he remembers correctly, James Cameron's super blockbuster seems to start in the next two years. In fact, "Avatar" was written in 1996, which was even before "Titanic" was finished, but due to the special effects technology, Cameron had to stop the project.

Now, he's already picking up the project.

Daniel is in a trance, this blockbuster, the investment is only 250 million, the world has killed 2.75 billion, setting a new film history record.

Has Fox settled with James now?

Daniel thought about it for a while, and it is unlikely to kick Fox out. The close relationship between the two makes this masterpiece only belong to Fox. In "Titanic", Fox couldn't stand the pressure of investment, La Paramount joined the team, and finally was forcibly divided into a large piece of meat, which can be said to be painful. This time, the wily Rupert could not suffer the same loss again.

He frowned, how to get in, this needs to be carefully considered.

Thinking of this, Daniel needs to pay more attention to "Night at the Museum".

"Well, make an appointment with Bill and meet him on the 29th, the day after tomorrow."

"He'll be at the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' premiere at Disney."

"I see, Brad Gray and Mike Linton will also be there. I can't talk to him on that occasion."

Sally was obviously a little surprised. She thought that the meeting between Daniel and Bill was just to show their importance and to make an intention to meet in person. Now it sounds like Daniel meant more than that.

But she saw that Daniel didn't plan to say more, so she didn't continue to ask, she made a note in the notebook, and began to say the next thing.

"The materials of James Wen and Ray Warner have been submitted to Ferguson, and Melissa also looked at James's shooting plan - she didn't read the script."

"Haha, is she afraid of horror movies? Seriously, she should find a boyfriend and accompany her to see such movies."

"You can talk to her yourself."

Melissa, who was recently urged by the old Drake, is the most annoying person to mention this to her. Now Melissa is gaining more and more power, especially in DD Films, almost only under David, the whole company, no matter what Whether it is the investment department or the headquarters, they are all in awe of the chairman's special assistant. It also made her a quintessential Hollywood woman—which usually meant finding a boyfriend.

The biggest problem now is that old Drake could still have some candidates for Melissa to meet on a blind date. Now, when those "young and promising" men heard Melissa Lane's name, they hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands.

It's all Daniel's fault.

Drake had called directly and had scolded him several times.

Because he invested a huge amount of 200 million, most of this money is now in the hands of the Daniel Investment Department of DD Films, in other words, it seems to be in the hands of Melissa.

In the whole of Hollywood, not many people hold 200 million investment funds, and among them, women are even rarer.

Although Melissa is still young, this power is enough to be prohibitive.

"Drake asked me to introduce her, and I'm having a headache. . . . What do you think of Javier?"

MB's Javier is also relatively young, just 33 years old, unmarried and single, is a good candidate. In fact, Raymond is not bad, but unfortunately, he already has a wife.

Sally paused. "So, boss, are we going to start an extra topic now?"

Rolling his eyes, Daniel shook his head, "No, well, where did we just say."

"The script and shooting plan for Chainsaw is in place, is it going according to normal procedures, or do you need to step in?"

"Will Ferguson give them money? Let the young people go, maybe there will be surprises."

Now everyone's tolerance for Daniel's opening and closing "young people" has become better, because it is true that most of the Hollywood young people have to look at Anthony Minghella, Sidney. A master figure like Pollack. Status disparity to a certain extent, age is ignored for granted.

"Let them start preparing for the shoot as planned?" Sally confirmed while recording in the notebook.

"Yes, let Warner have time, it's better to think about the follow-up plot."

"sequel?"

At this moment, Sally discovered that Daniel was so optimistic about "The Saw". Unfortunately, only she knew that Daniel had not revealed this meaning to anyone else. Let Sally pass the word to Warner, also to encourage him.

...

Basically, if Daniel stays at home, this form of work goes on for hours, most of the time with Sally, and sometimes Cusa comes over and talks in person, if in his decision there is an unenforceable, or serious When he was blocked, Cusa couldn't coordinate the parties to complete ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, so he needed to explain the reason to Daniel himself.

On this team, Daniel is the chairman of the board and Cusa is.

After this exchange of questions, Sally has a long itinerary, the world premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the meeting with Bill McNico, and the progress of "Avatar", etc. , which is why Daniel is so busy every day.

...

"Daniel **** divested of Pirates of the Caribbean?"

On the eve of the world premiere of "Pirates," the story made waves. The report quoted a person familiar with the matter, saying that long before the filming was completed, Disney bought the investment income rights of Daniel Investments in "Pirates of the Caribbean". At present, the income rights of the film completely belong to the Disney company. The problem, the insider's original words are "obviously a price that Daniel is satisfied with, otherwise he would not be able to swallow it and undertake part of the distribution work."

This is Trevor's handwriting. (To be continued.)
