Ace Hollywood

For David, Daniel is actually quite apologetic. They have known each other for many years and supported each other in Brooklyn. Baidu Search Geili Literature.com When Daniel decided to come to Hollywood, David did not hesitate to take out a "huge sum" of 2,000 US dollars. This friendship is actually far better than those glamorous big stars and big producers today.

On the one hand, starting DD Films is Daniel's development to that point, and as a person with prescience, it would be a bit wasteful not to do so. On the other hand, of course, is David. David has never said before that he has hopes for Hollywood. The windfall was invested in DD Films. If not, Daniel, who was investing in blgger at the time and later founded MB, would definitely not be able to do so many things now.

Therefore, now that Daniel has other arrangements for DD Films, the most difficult thing to face is David.

"Dan, you don't have to do this," David smiled and waved his hands, "I know what you think. When I insisted on making films independently, I just wanted to see if I had the ability, not just Rely on your vision and popularity. Now I don’t need to do this anymore. I believe in myself and you even more. This is our common cause. Of course it should be developed to the best. Now that it has such a chance, how could I I don’t understand. To be honest, fortunately, “Ghost Omens” performed well overseas, otherwise your plan might have been ruined by me. Now it seems that your vision is indeed better than mine, so I can manage the company with peace of mind and do business. Producer. We have a clear division of labor, so there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

Daniel paused, and stretched out his right hand.

David smacked his hand. Time passed, but a lot of things didn't go away.

After negotiating with David, soon, the script selection work of DD Films Headquarters and Daniel Investment Department were all in one place. The investment is still determined through consultation between the two parties.

The "Hangover" that is currently being filmed will be shared by the investment department and the headquarters at a 7:3 ratio.

Despite the financial support from Plutos, the Daniel Investment Department has made a lot of moves, and it needs comprehensive consideration in terms of funds. At present, the department will no longer independently produce movies. Their abundant cash flow will naturally be used in various projects.

Although "Saw" has not yet been released, Daniel has confirmed the plan for "Saw 2".

This is the first series of film projects of DD Films. Until now, everyone knew how much Daniel valued this small-budget horror film.

To know. In the present reality,

A series of movies is often the ballast of a studio, such as MGM. Of course, their most valuable thing is their library of more than 4,000 movies, but the company's hope lies in "007", "Pink Panther" " The copyright of these series of "The Hobbit", without the latter, MGM is basically just a movie database, and it can't be called the seven major Hollywood studios at all.

In June, "Bourne Shadow 2" officially started running.

Previously, "Love to the House Collapsed" North America has infinitely approached 200 million US dollars. The global box office has exceeded 320 million. DD Films has made a lot of money with this film, and has basically confirmed its priority in romantic comedies. The two works of "Greek Wedding" and "House Collapse" are also enough It makes people look at DD Films with admiration. After all, it is extremely rare for a single movie to make a profit of over 100 million yuan, especially for independent studios.

"Bourne Shadow 2" has a 200 million box office blessing from the previous work, and it was released on 3,342 screens on the first day, which can be called a blockbuster treatment.

The score of 28.98 million in a single day is also quite impressive. In the first weekend, it was 93.3 million in three days, and there is no suspense to break 100 million in four days.

Daniel did not attend the promotional event throughout. He didn't make any public appearances either. He only made a promotion on F2F and MB respectively, but the focus of the reports still fell on him. Over the past six months. Although Daniel never attended public events, except for the half-public event where he traveled to South Africa with Charlize Theron to meet Mr Mandela, he basically disappeared and only returned to Los Angeles before the release of "House Falling Down" been photographed.

No one saw him at the resort, nor did he play around the world, and even the European paparazzi followed Collins for a while. No trace of him was ever found.

This also gave birth to a wave of "breakup" gossip.

This is not surprising. Since Daniel doesn't have to work, he should be with Collins logically. Although Collins is also very busy, the meeting time must be more than before. To their surprise, the dedicated paparazzi did not even take a picture of Daniel once, so it is impossible not to suspect that they have broken up.

Of course, Daniel and Collins hope to have more time to meet each other, but although Daniel has no public work, he is obviously busier than before. He still has vacations during filming, which is really free time that can be arranged. Right now, Daniel basically can’t spare time for himself. The time has come. With the release of two films at DD Films in Los Angeles, the arrangements for follow-up projects, especially the changes to DD Films' plans, are numerous and complicated. In addition, he spent more time and energy in Wall Street investment funds, Boston consortia, etc. After all, he is not very good at this type of work. Very strenuous.

In addition, although the Oscar turmoil cannot be dealt with by big actions, the small actions of Trivor and Cusa have never stopped. This kind of stormy crisis can only be eliminated by interrupting it again and again. Then come to a hearty cleaning to completely expose it.

Daniel, who was so busy that he didn't know his personnel, of course couldn't be photographed by European paparazzi in Stuttgart or Berlin.

...

"The project must be released by the end of the year, no later than November."

Compared with the news about other films of DD Films, this film that has already started shooting is actually very well kept secret. So far, no news about this new project of DD Films has been found in public reports.

Daniel himself starred!

Don't say that this decision will definitely alarm the media and movie fans, even Kusa and others are also surprised.

Daniel will enter Berkeley to go to school in September, and Google will also require a lot of energy in August. Therefore, after the extremely busy first half of the year, taking more than a month to secretly shoot this film is a bit too hard. What's more, since Daniel had already stated that he would not have a movie-related job within a year, it is of course not good to say it clearly now.

But after understanding Daniel's plan, Kusa did not strongly object. Even Trivor did not express any disagreement on this, who made the plan unable to keep up with the changes.

The entire movie, except for Daniel Sandler. They are all newcomers or rookies who have signed strict non-disclosure agreements, but Daniel invited many Silicon Valley celebrities to make guest appearances. Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and even Steve Jobs were also invited by him. ,have to say. His influence in Silicon Valley is not weaker than that in Hollywood.

In August, on the eve of Google, the film officially wrapped.

At the wrap-up party, David Finch drank a lot, and in the end Daniel sent someone to take him home.

As for the actors, it's okay to say that the movie itself doesn't rely on the cast, not to mention that Daniel Sandler's star power alone is comparable to other movies. The focus of the film is the director. This work was originally directed by David Fincher, but Daniel was still hesitant when considering candidates, after all. After many years, even if Fincher is still invited, it is difficult to guarantee that the film will be similar. In this case, it is normal to change a director.

But after thinking about it, Daniel still sent the script to Finch.

After all, this well-known director has already determined his style, and his technique may be more perfect in a few years, but generally speaking, it is the same.

Fincher was of course very surprised when he received the script, but there was also a confidentiality agreement with the script-generally speaking, directors of Fincher's level rarely get this kind of treatment. So it is conceivable that DD Films attaches great importance to this work. After he read it and communicated with David, he realized that this project really needs to be kept secret.

Daniel Sandler himself!

A bunch of Silicon Valley titans cameo in the movie!

No matter which of these two news is released, it is enough to cause an uproar.

more importantly. The meaning behind this work.

The reason why Daniel broke his promise to act in person is entirely because this is a somewhat autobiographical work, and of course most of the plots and settings are fictitious.

Finch still remembered David meeting him in New York, the shocked expression on his face when he heard the news.

"You mean it's a semi-autobiographical film by Daniel Sandler?"

David nodded without hesitation.

Although Finch is not young, he has a keen perception of the changes of the times. Is a registered user of MB and F2F, with many followers. Of course he could tell that the movie theme was a website that combined MB and F2F.

In other words, did Daniel create MB or F2F, or both MB and F2F?

Although the setting of Harvard University sophomores in the script was grafted with the consent of Mark Zuckerberg. The subsequent development is also obviously different from Daniel's actual operation, but just this question from Fincher is enough to detonate the hot spots of movie fans.

David Fincher eventually took over the film.

Afterwards, he and Daniel met several times. In May, the film officially started secretly. Fincher announced that he had started to take a vacation. Warner originally intended to ask him to direct "Batman Prequel", but it naturally fell through. No one knows that he came to Silicon Valley secretly and started filming this work. I have to say that the era without smartphones is very good, and Daniel’s head in Silicon Valley is relatively familiar, so it is much easier to cover up. The secret was kept until he finished filming.

In mid-August, David Fincher was working overtime in the editing room.

Daniel took Javier from MB and Mark Vaughan from F2F to Nasdaq.

Google's long-awaited event is about to kick off.

Page’s stubbornness on this incident made Daniel feel deeply. According to the gradient agreement between Google and Plutos, the less funds Google raises, the better it is for Plutos—this is also very understandable, Google’s Development requires so much capital. If there is no way to get these funds from the market, it will naturally need to be supplemented from other sources. Therefore, from this perspective, Daniel hopes that Google will lose, but as a partner, doing so is actually against the principle.

Daniel still took the time to persuade Larry Page, hoping that he would change his decision to use the Dutch auction method.

That would certainly anger Wall Street.

But Page did not accept his suggestion in the end, but insisted on his own opinion. Obviously, he did not have a good opinion of Wall Street, and he would rather take risks than give up his benefits.

...

When Daniel appeared on Nasdaq, the financial media instantly changed to the entertainment version.

Schwarzenegger, Tiger Woods, Kissinger and other celebrities in Hollywood and politics are not enough to surprise people. After all, the news that they are Google shareholders has long been known, but Daniel is a new figure. Although he has a lot of face in Silicon Valley, everyone knows it.

Apple's previous acquisition of IMP also made the financial media widely aware of this Hollywood double actor, but when he entered Google's Nasdaq scene, it was still enough to make people's jaw drop.

Compared with Daniel, those who came with him are obviously better known to the reporters.

Javier from MB, Mark Vaughan from F2F, and Sheryl Sandberg, I have to say that these three are now in the limelight. Needless to say the former, as a joint stock company of Google, and a star start-up that will soon follow Google's listing, MB has received a lot of attention. The current development trend of F2F far exceeds that of MB at that time, and its social ecology is also considered to have great potential. As the top two giants of the social network cake, it must be the top priority of media attention.

In addition, Raymond, the person in charge of Plutos, is no stranger to everyone. As the force behind MB and F2F, digging out the background of Plutos has almost become the dream of financial reporters.

Daniel, who appeared with them, is more or less meaningful.

MB and Daniel's close relationship.

The rapid development of F2F has also fully benefited from Daniel. Since the Oscar incident, F2F has benefited the most from Daniel’s silence. Moreover, Daniel is also the user with the largest number of users on the F2F homepage, just breaking through one million, from blgger to MB, and then to F2F , while Daniel is favored by the Internet, he also seems to be heralding the development trend of the Internet.

The next Internet star, is F2F?

This question, along with Daniel, created more attention for F2F.

Apart from MB and F2F, Raymond was even Daniel's personal investment manager before!

Considering so many connections, many reporters inevitably have some conjectures in their minds. Although those conjectures are so unbelievable and unbelievable-but when you think about it carefully, it seems that the possibility is not as low as imagined.

The entertainment media that gets the news is much crazier than the reserved financial media.

All kinds of conjectures covered all other entertainment news at once.

A new news storm centered on Daniel started again. (To be continued.) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
