"Our faith in superhero movies hasn't changed, but DD's work is focused. You know we're better at comedy, romance. And acquiring MGM itself was a challenge. , DD now has a high amount of debt, we have to be more cautious, I think the Hulk will give us a smaller surprise, but the risk will be smaller. In fact, you and I both understand that the Hulk itself has no problem , which has been proved by the global box office of 200 million. The problem is the style and technology of the film. For the former, referring to An Li's failed version, I think the chance of success is much greater. As for the latter, Weta Digital is in motion capture We have accumulated a lot of key technologies, so we will have more confidence in this project.”

Kevin couldn't tell if Daniel was real or not, so he tried to let go.

This time, Daniel went to Alberta to visit Ann Lee, which was a unique touch. Most people paid attention to Daniel's substantive remarks on "Brokeback Mountain" and its subject matter, but Kevin's direction Quite the opposite.

Regarding Daniel's trip, the attitude of conservatives and religious groups is fierce. Daniel supports "Brokeback Mountain" on a certain level. They obviously take this as an offense to them, but Daniel doesn't really care about this. His image has always had nothing to do with being conservative. What's more, since his debut, he has always been high on the list of men who gays want to spend the night with the most, and has even occupied the first place in the past two or three years, whether it is Jude Law, who was in the limelight before, or the actor in " Brokeback Mountain's Jake Gyllenhaal failed to shake his position.

As for Leonardo, who is getting more and more out of shape, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, who are in the quagmire of marriage and love, are of course falling all the way in the rankings.

This ranking is actually very representative. A large number of this group are actually recognized in terms of aesthetics. Generally speaking, the men on the list are either popular or have a unique temperament.

In view of this, it was feared that the same clan wanted to include Daniel in their own group. It's actually a very strange and unusual move.

In such a tumultuous public opinion, the plans of Kevin and Marvel's executives were irresistibly changed.

In fact, everything Daniel and Kevin said was sincere, except for one thing. It is difficult for the new Hulk movie to stand up again on its own. It needs other similar movies to give it confidence, so that it can be convincing enough to tell fans that the new Hulk is in line with their expectations. gram is worth looking forward to.

Obviously. Marvel won't know this, because they have no idea that superhero movies will become an unstoppable trend, and certainly can't imagine that other superheroes can add confidence to the Hulk among fans.

In June, "The Hangover" was finally drawn from North America with 280 million, and the world has reached 450 million, and is moving towards 500 million.

This R-rated comedy with an investment of 35 million has become the highest-grossing R-rated film in film history, and DD Pictures has undoubtedly made a splash.

Daniel, on the other hand, successfully completed all of his first-year college coursework—with the exception of a B. Everything else is A.

Fernando and Jeffrey Kane have already headed to Berlin to start the filming of "The Immortal Gardener". Daniel will rush over soon except for some things at hand. In fact, he has stopped exercising for a while. The image of a British aid diplomat in Kenya is definitely not the energetic and youthful look of Daniel, but fortunately, he has already performed similar performances in "The Pianist", not to mention. Justin is nowhere near as thin as Spearman, with a little sculpting and makeup, and everything is fine.

Before going to Berlin to start a two-month shoot. He has to deal with Los Angeles first.

The MGM acquisition will go through U.S. market regulators next month and is likely to survive EU scrutiny in August. If so, then soon, MGM's work in the second half of the year needs to be quickly scheduled.

"007" new work, this is a big problem, Pierce Brosnan is no longer in the role. The new Bond still doesn't know where it is. MGM is in a panic, and there are no rules at all. Now Daniel can't intervene, but it is necessary to ensure that once he officially takes over, things will be pushed forward quickly, and the time will not be long.

In addition, Daniel also needs to list some new films for MGM.

"High School Musical", "Bad Teacher", "Magic Mike" and "Dance Out of My Life" - this wave of low-cost films was prepared by Daniel early for MGM. The script has already been sent to the association for the record, and Disney has nothing to do.

When writing these scripts, Daniel mocked himself a lot, and at first he was a little embarrassed about taking it. He has been following the steps, looking for the script, looking for the director, but when there is such a gold-sucking beast as MGM, all the discomfort will pass away with the wind, and he can even prepare so much for MGM in advance.

But unfortunately, Zac Efron, Zanning Tatum, the youth idols of the same age as him, are basically handed over to the producers of DD Films to deal with, and he himself does not have the time. , he can only list the script, recommended directors and actors, and finally look at the finished film, that's all.

Daniel can imagine the expression on his face when Tatum, who is not well-known now, sees the script of "Magic Mike" similar to his own experience. Maybe he can only shirk it to coincidence.

In addition to these small-budget films designed to bring MGM to life, Black Swan will also enter the work program, which is to restore MGM to the glory of the Oscars.

Fortunately, for these jobs, he used the screenwriting team of DD Pictures instead of writing it himself, otherwise it would be too shocking. And he only needs to do this at the beginning. After all, MGM is a tight-knit Hollywood machine. Once he is on the fast lane, he only needs to hold the steering wheel and find out what he wants from the tens of thousands of scripts Hollywood produces every year.

But even so, it is impossible to avoid that Daniel has a more and more magical status within the DD film industry.

"DD Pictures Announces Acquisition of Weta Digital's Animation Division"

"Highly ambitious, Daniel recruits Andrew Stanton to take the helm of DD Pictures' new animation division."

"Being involved in animation, after the acquisition of MGM Pictures, DD Pictures has made another big move"

"Success as always, or a big somersault?"

"Is Daniel crazy? DD Pictures has expanded several times within a year."

Sebastian finally got the taste of Hollywood celebrities. Andrew Stanton doesn't have to deal with these things. He is still busy with "Robot Story" and is also taking care of "Happy Feet" - Animal Logic turns out to be working The production of the film, after Daniel gave them a few pointers, has now accelerated a lot.

Pixar's John Lasseter has also been quite popular with the media recently. In fact, when Andrew was poached by Vita, he wasn't as fidgety as he is now - because there are so many media, whether it's a formal interview submitted to Pixar's PR department, The siege, pursuit and interception that appeared at any time were a lot higher than at that time.

There is no doubt that the establishment of the animation department of Weta Digital and the establishment of the animation department of DD Pictures are two completely different things for the media.

It was a trend for major studios to create their own animation departments decades ago, but with the reality of making ends meet, the abolition of animation departments has become a new trend in recent years. In addition to Disney, independent feature-length animation studios have gone mainstream, including DreamWorks Animation, now an independent animation technology company.

The result of DD Films' bucking the trend this time has attracted much attention.

shortly after the announcement.

DD Animation's founding press conference was officially held in Los Angeles, and the media gathered here.

Sebastian, Andrew, Daniel, David, Richard Taylor, Melissa, Ferguson and other core people from DD Films and Weta Digital were all present. Ron Mayer, Vice President of Universal Pictures, was quite surprised Invited to attend, apart from him, there are no other high-level guests of the company. Of course, it's not a secret that Mayer and Daniel have a close relationship. From a very early age, the two have had friendship. With the great success of the "Bourne Bourne" series, it is natural that Mayer and Daniel's relationship is getting closer.

Everyone smashed the ice sculpture of DD Animation together, Sebastian introduced the vision of the new company, and handed the stage to Andrew Stanton.

He will be in charge of introducing DD Animation's current projects.

The first of course is "Happy Feet"!

The news of the establishment of DD Animation was released, and the bottom line was quickly taken. Except for the direct line that Andrew brought out from Pixar, and the two sporadic technical talents dug from DreamWorks and Disney, the main team that remained was a company called Sydney Animals. Employee of Logic Animation Technologies. This company cooperated with George Miller on "Happy Feet", and was eventually acquired by Weta Digital as a whole due to financial problems.

These are all public information that can be directly queried.

A naive emperor penguin was released on the big screen~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the short picture, you can see the sophistication of this film that DD Animation bought halfway through.

"Obviously chasing the trend of "Ice Age". A reporter muttered secretly, the magnificent and wonderful view of the South in the background, of course, reminds people of "Ice Age" with Blue Sky's great success.

"This is an interesting story of an emperor penguin. There is a family of emperor penguins living in the deepest part of the Antarctic. There is only one way for males to attract a mate: to sing a beautiful song, but our poor little emperor penguin **, because before birth I was knocked, so I don't have this ability..."

Andrew's eloquent voice made it easy for people to immerse themselves in the pictures behind them.

A clumsy little emperor penguin who is always bullied because he can't sing... Think about it, it's a very attractive story indeed.

While everyone was thinking about sex, Andrew tapped the remote control in his hand, and the picture suddenly changed. From the ice and snow South Pole, he suddenly came to the vast starry sky, the earth, the spaceship, the nebula... This is a completely different story. (To be continued.)
