Ace Hollywood

Chapter 347: Digging the corner of "Avatar"

\"\"=\\'\')\"=\)\">

Reese has already seen what his eyes are pointing at, it is Robert Downey Jr., and she is guessing that the film industry may invite him to appear in a new film. After "Ghost Omen", Downey restarted his Hollywood stardom. The second generation of stars became famous too early, success was too easy, and it is not surprising that they took a crooked road. .. Reese's understanding of these people in Hollywood is actually much more detailed than Daniel's, which is normal. Daniel needs to care about very few actors. On the one hand, it is because of his MGM and the current plans of the film industry, Except for "Mean Teacher" which invited Cameron Diaz to star, and "Black Swan" which invited Natalie, almost all the other films used newcomers, or at least newcomers in a certain theme. So, so far, MGM and the big stars don't need to care too much. On the other hand, of course, it was Daniel himself who was nominated three times in a row, and even the best actor. Since his debut, he has accumulated more than 5 billion box office in the world. Even if his films, in the current Hollywood, are newcomers hoping to take this to the sky and become the second Bradley's choice. For celebrities who have already become famous, participating in Daniel's works is also a good choice to bless their coffee status and increase their worth.

In general, in terms of casting, the film industry has long been no worse than Hollywood's Big Seven.

Thinking of this, Reese took another look at Daniel, who is also a young man who became famous, but has a bigger reputation and more amazing achievements, but he has not had any problems and has been on the rise. Today, he has become the most powerful man in Hollywood. members of that group. When Daniel starred in "Legal Blonde", although it was also invited by MGM, it was a mere 2 million basic studios, plus an unprecedented 5 points of North American profit sharing. Speaking of which, this is the first time that Daniel has enjoyed similar treatment, and it was entirely because MGM's lack of profit expectations that he picked up a leak. Now it's quite different, the 30 million horror offer for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". The high rate of 20% is not even the most conspicuous condition. He has become the big boss behind the scenes of MGM and holds the copyright of the "Legal Blonde" series. Reese felt the deepest place.

"Ryan is taking care of the children at home? I haven't seen your two little friends yet."

Daniel beckoned the waiter to come over and exchanged two glasses of wine. Waving with Diaz in the distance.

As a landlord, he is quite busy today. But fortunately, Andrew Stanton is very big in the animation interface. He will handle all the giants of the animation industry who are here today. By the way, he also brings Sebastian from the animation department to recognize his way. Although Sebastian He is the founder of Animal Logic, but "Happy Feet" is their first film, and it has not been made yet, and of course it cannot be called the connection with the industry. This is inevitable. Hollywood is very particular about resumes. This resume includes your work and your relationships. The former is like Blue Sky Studio. Before "Ice Age", no one in Hollywood knew about them, and no one was interested in them. The latter is like Sofia Coppola. Or Melissa Lane, the studio's chief content officer, who have family ties that are part of their resumes. A lot of times, the latter is even more important than the former, and Sophia was able to make a name for herself at the Oscars with "Lost in Translation", in addition to her own talent. The terrifying influence of the Coppola family played a major role. Speaking of Melissa, she started as an assistant to big agent Tracy, and after a period of grinding at Fox, she came under Daniel's command. Over the years, her job content has changed again and again, and every time she has done it very well . That's why she's always been at the heart of Daniel's team. To be able to do this, the help of old Drake's face to her is definitely not a bit or two.

Taking advantage of the time to change the wine, Daniel's eyes swept over the arena.

Robert Iger was personally accompanied by Ron Meyer, Andrew Stanton was surrounded by a dozen people, John Lasseter and other animation masters were beside him, they should be discussing the "Wall-E" just shown, which is indeed a This is a work worthy of discussion by all current animation industry workers.

Weta Digital's technicians applied some preliminary naked-eye 3 technology to "WALL-E". Strictly speaking, it is not yet 3, but it seems to be visually significantly different from 2. It is very difficult to do this. It is almost a difficulty that the entire technical team has finally overcome. If Daniel hadn't insisted on it, I would have been classified into the "future development" reserve technology research and development ranks. Even the current effect is only half of what was expected.

However, in the screening just now, when Wall-E followed the spaceship into space, the magnificent and graceful galaxies rushed towards him, as if it were real. Unsurprisingly, it elicited exclamations and admiration from everyone.

This is almost the biggest change that Daniel brings to this new "Wall-E".

It is also a test of Daniel's 3 technology. The real explosion of 3 in the film field must be the "Avatar" that Fox is now preparing to produce. James. Cameron's talent and talent, Daniel is also difficult to match. He does not think that the current Weta Digital has this ability. In fact, Weta will participate in the production of "Avatar", but it is only a part of it, and it will be done together with Industrial Light and Magic and Cameron's own technology company. However, before that, it does not mean that Daniel is unwilling to test the market first to see if the 3 technology can release part of its appeal first - if "Wall-E" can achieve a significant box office lift with these semi-3 technologies, then Before the release of "Avatar", the film industry might as well dig more grounds on this. "Avatar" has 2.8 billion in the world. As long as you dig a fraction, it will be enough for the film industry to eat.

Lasseter and the others would be interested in this part, and Daniel was almost certain.

Paul Walker is chatting with Robert Orchi, who is the screenwriter of "Transformers" and who has been dug up by the film industry recently. A very important screenwriter and producer, Daniel is hesitating whether to let him directly serve as the director. Producer of Transformers. Previously, Okey's most well-known experience as a producer was "Double Spy", directed by JJ Abrams, the Hollywood director took over the filming of Paramount's "Mission Impossible 3", next year The show was also very popular, and the relationship between the two was very good. Abrams even expressed his desire to take on "Transformers" through Orchi. But Daniel declined. The style of the explosive maniac Michael Bay is very obvious, and Daniel is completely unsure whether "Transformers" will achieve the expected success without him. And even Michael Bay has a very good relationship with Orchi. They just collaborated on Escape from Clone Island, starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. Orchi is the screenwriter.

Daniel's mind easily revolves around Robert Orchi. form a dense network.

"Double Spy", written and produced by Orchi. Abrams director, Bradley Cooper's famous work. "Escape from the Clone Island", directed by Michael Bay, screenplay by Orchi, Scarlett's new work. "Legend of Zorro" was beaten all the way by "Chainsaw 2", and the bottom line was lost. It was also written by Orchi and directed by Martin Campbell. Then came Transformers. Written by Orchi, directed by Michael Bay, starring Paul Walker, and further down to the new 007 movie, directed by Martin Campbell. Such relationships, one connected to the other, are intricate. Many times you can see a lot of things from this, and you can also use this to choose and determine the team. The boss of any studio or the person in charge of the production department has such a dense mix of big and small, independent or connected, forming Daniel and others' understanding and grasp of these human resources in Hollywood.

Glancing at the people who were talking in groups of threes and fives, Daniel's mind was almost spontaneously scrolling a lot of information.

Grab a glass of champagne. Daniel turned to look at Reese Witherspoon again.

Reese was slightly embarrassed to hear him talk about her child. Daniel knew exactly what happened between her and Ryan Philip. When Reese wanted to join forces with Daniel to make a hype, he was rejected by Kusa's words. Now that she and Ryan have two children, the difference makes her feel somewhat unnatural.

"The time is up, and children are always needed. Women are different from your men. Once you turn 30, you will soon grow old."

Reese simply put the words around her age. She was born in 1976 and is exactly 30 years old this year. This tone sounds, naturally, but a little more squeamish.

Daniel nodded with a smile.

"Invincible" will start filming in April next year. She currently has no other work and is preparing for this film wholeheartedly. Playing a talented female singer was a lot of work for Reese. Daniel is much busier than she is. "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not end his role until at least the middle of 2 copies, before and after the Oscars. This is still when making the shooting plan, taking into account his time. After finishing the filming of "Pirates 2", Daniel will immediately join the "Wonderful Night at the Museum". This film will not take him much time, but there will be a situation in the middle and "Invincible".

In the entire group of top stars in Hollywood, rolling is a rare thing, unless there is a problem with the arrangement. On the one hand, because the remuneration is very high, the direct impact is that the requirements of the filmmakers will be very high, that is to say, the producers will not allow you to run the show, resulting in no way to pay full attention in the production. On the other hand, it is also due to the habit of casting. The casting of the crew has to consider the schedule. If you can't arrange the schedule, you will find someone else. In Hollywood, no one is completely irreplaceable. Even the current Daniel can be replaced by someone else. The difference is only in the balance of pros and cons brought by doing so. Replacing Daniel may make the movie lose three points, and wait Waiting for him, or allowing him to shoot several works at the same time, may only affect one point, so the choice made by the filmmakers is also a matter of course.

What the actors want is to increase the cost and loss of the filmmakers to replace themselves.

However, for Daniel, it is different, because "Invincible" was appointed by the original character and invested by his company. Although "Wonderful Night at the Museum" is Fox's team, most of its interests have already been taken by him. Of course, it is impossible to refuse Daniel's arrangement if it is transferred to the film industry.

Daniel and Reese chatted a few words about the plot of "Invincible", and also shared a few questions and interesting things about each other's training, until Melissa waved at him, he said goodbye to Reese and looked at her Walking into Diaz's group, he smoothly integrated into it, and soon he showed a seemingly sincere smile.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.

The joke suddenly popped out of Daniel's mind, shook his head with a smile, and Daniel walked over to Melissa.

"Daniel, you haven't seen them, have you?"

Melissa's agent habit hasn't changed, and it looks like she's pitching her clients.

Daniel knew that Melissa planned to let several newcomers from "High School Musical" and "Magic Mike" come to the world, and it would be beneficial to push them out earlier, and then cooperate with the promotion of the movie.

He really has never met these young people. Although these small-budget films pinned the hope of MGM Phoenix Nirvana, Daniel really hasn't met a few leading actors for one reason or another.

Standing in front of him now, a few restrained young people, wearing evening gowns, could not hide their youthful radiance. The boys wore Burberry dresses - although Daniel did not renew the contract with Burberry, the two sides still maintained a good relationship. The film industry helped them communicate sponsorship, and Burberry also gave face, although it was not customized, But it also gave the autumn and winter models of last year's show, the general B-level actors, that is, this treatment.

Channing Tatum of Magic Mike~www.wuxiamtl.com~High School Musical's Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and a few more girls.

"I should have met you long ago, but it's always a coincidence. Thank you for coming to support "Wall-E" today."

Daniel knew in person what kind of attitude would make these boys and girls feel a little more relaxed. Well, in fact, Tatum and Daniel are the same age, and Zac Efron is indeed much younger, only 19 years old. However, judging from the fact that they wore one brand of dresses and showed completely different styles, it was understandable that Daniel unconsciously called them boys and girls.

"Wall-E is great, cute, and touching."

Tatum did not dwell on topics that he had not seen before, but began to praise "Wall-E". Efron and Vanessa are a bit like little movie fans, with bright eyes, they mustered up their courage for a long time before they asked Tatum to help them take a photo with Daniel, and asked a photographer from the company's publicity department to come over.

"Don't go first when it's over, please eat." Daniel greeted Melissa and asked her to make arrangements, and he went to another place himself. Mayer and Stanton will have their share, and he will have to turn around. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
