Chapter 249 Shaking Hands and Making Peace

The phone on the table began to vibrate. www.geiliwx.com

I just talked to Kusa about the recent series of confrontations with Disney. At present, it seems that Natalie's divine assist and "accidental" investment behavior have surprised many Hollywood partners.

Fox's Mike Nicol even used "Avatar" to talk to Daniel, saying that Fox is considering introducing part of the investment to share the investment of 250 million US dollars in this project. If Daniel can play the role, Fox will seriously consider his intention.

It was a pleasant surprise.

However, so far, even though Disney has revealed the truth, Robert Iger has never called Daniel. Therefore, it is necessary for Daniel to discuss with Kusa, whether this call needs to wait until the place is called, or they can take the initiative to call.

According to Daniel himself, they are already in the upper hand in the current situation, and the Containment Alliance led by Disney is self-defeating. Robert Shaye has already tried to start discussing the cooperation of "The Hobbit" with him, but Daniel knows that this project It didn't go well, and it had to be delayed for several years, so I let go and talked with him. Anyway, the project will not start at that time, and the new line will be a dishonest party, not to mention Universal. The previous statement and concession have been very clear Said their opinion.

Now what Daniel has to consider is Disney, whether to wait for them to send out an obvious signal, or to take the initiative to pass the step over. With Iger's status in Hollywood, Daniel is submissive in face. It's not something to be ashamed of, it's mainly on the inside, as long as everyone knows that he doesn't suffer.

certainly. Daniel wants to take a step back on the surface, at least to confirm that Disney intends to let go.

From the current point of view, the rumors about Daniel's going into the business world have been replaced by those rumors about turning against Yingtian. For the time being, it is not clear that there is any force behind it trying to revive the previous events.

Broadly speaking, this can be regarded as proof that Disney has stopped.

But it's not always so straightforward.

So Kusa thinks it's better to wait, at least there is a clear attitude over there, and Daniel will deal with it later.

Otherwise, this event will stir up a lot of people. It's kind of anticlimactic.

As for the unequal status of the two parties, Kusa's original words also sound reasonable.

"That's not a problem. Hollywood is this kind of place, profit is the most important thing, if you tell Robert, let him apologize to a beggar in the newspaper.

But if it can make Disney 100 million US dollars, he will definitely not hesitate. We didn't ask him to do anything to embarrass him, but just let everyone know clearly that this matter is over. "

Daniel is still thinking about whether to follow what Kusa said, and continue to wait.

The phone call came.

Robert Iger.

Looking at Kusa, "Peace or war, it's on this phone."

As soon as Robert opened his mouth, he was warm and friendly, and Daniel knew his attitude immediately.

"Bear Tale Premiere? Of course. I'll find time to go. Well, we'll talk about it then."

Holding the phone, Daniel thought for a while. Only then did he put it down meaningfully, "He invited me to attend the premiere of "Legend of the Bear"."

"Bear Tale" is a Disney animation. This year Disney can be said to be in the limelight. So far, the only two films this year that broke 300 million are Disney, "Finding Nemo" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Especially the latter. As Disney's first pg-13 movie, it can be said that it has made a good start for Disney to enter new fields.

For Robert. This may also be one of the reasons why he didn't have to fight Daniel to the death. The situation was just right, so why bother taking risks.

Daniel accepting the invitation, of course, means declaring his resignation.

As Daniel expected, two days later, Disney responded, saying that Daniel and Daniel would start negotiations on the sequel of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Immediately, both Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley said in interviews that they are willing to continue joining the sequel and believe that the preparation for the sequel will be very smooth.

To be honest, this turmoil has brought a lot of people, among which these two may be the most personal. Keira Knightley has borrowed the wind from "Pirates of the Caribbean" box office. A member of the power, now he also has a place in various charm rankings. But Orlando Bloom is quite inferior. The role of Will Turner is really not memorable, especially with such a vivid image of Captain Jack, it is even worse.

But even so, for them, the sequel of "Pirate" is extremely important, not to mention the financial benefits, it is also of great significance for them to maintain exposure.

With exposure, you can meet more people and have better opportunities.

No one understands this truth.

Therefore, when the sequel of "Pirate" was turbulent, the two of them were also frightened. Once Disney let go of their mouths, they would immediately understand what to do without the need for others to point them out.

With several parties making a joint statement, it is very credible that the second part of "Pirate" will immediately enter the preparation state.

Daniel originally wanted to respond, but Simon Williams approached him and made him temporarily change his mind.

"I've had people in contact with people in Kenya, and they said that if you can get involved, they can consider having the film shot in Kenya, and they want you to talk to them about it directly."

Simon doesn't have any great friendship with the Kenyan government, but he has some connections in the UK, and the theme expressed in this script is quite in line with public opinion, and Daniel Sandler has just made a big splash in Kenya, since he visited Dadaab refugees After the camp, he included an article of his own in the report of the UN visit.

The article calls on UNHCR to pay attention to the serious overload problem of the Dadaab refugee camp. The refugee camp, which could only accommodate 90,000 people, has now reached a scale of tens of thousands of people, which means infrastructure, sanitation, security and other aspects preparations will face challenges. Daniel reminded UNHCR in his report. This trend is still intensifying, and if the situation in Somalia worsens, the capacity of this refugee camp will face dire challenges. also. He also reminded that a large number of Somalis live in Kenya, and we must be vigilant against armed forces lurking there. UNHCR should deepen cooperation with relevant Kenyan departments to control possible bad incidents.

This report was also published in Kenya's official newspaper, because many of its contents responded to the concerns of Kenyan officials, so he now unexpectedly has a bit of face in Kenya.

Plus this movie. In a sense, it can be regarded as the concern of their president, Mr. Kibaki. With many factors mixed together, it is understandable that Kenya is willing to make concessions.

After all, even if they don't agree, filming in South Africa or other African countries. There is no problem, the impact will not be better, only worse.

Now that Simon decided to hand over the film to DD Films, Daniel connected with the government of the other party through his relationship.

After close consultation, the progress was still very fast, and everyone finally decided that this film will be co-produced with the Kenyan anti-corruption department, and the other party is of course just a name. However, it provided great convenience for the crew to work in Kenya.

At the end of September, the project finally signed an agreement.

Daniel flew to Nairobi again. A press conference was held, announcing that the film, "The Immortal Gardener", would be cast in conjunction with the British Special Mission and the Kenyan government.

Among them, the piece of information that has attracted the most attention from the media is that Daniel will play the role in person, and it is clear that the filming will start in June 2005.

This is Daniel's first confirmation. I will return to Hollywood to film after 2004, according to the announced time. It should be after he completed his first year of study and returned to Hollywood. Whether he just used the summer vacation to work is still unknown. However, the speculation that Daniel may turn to the business world, which was widely publicized by various media before, is naturally self-defeating.

Immediately after returning from Kenya, Daniel attended the premiere of "The Legend of the Bear".

He met an acquaintance, Jacques Phoenix!

As one of the main dubbing roles of the movie, for Jacques, this is also a good job opportunity for him.

When Philip brought him over to talk to Daniel, Daniel almost didn't remember.

It may be that his career is not going well. Jack is not as high-spirited as he was in the past two years. Philip still has face, but he can’t say anything in front of Daniel now. Matt Damon and Affleck’s development is not bad. , but compared with Daniel, it is only good.

In Hollywood, opportunities are not easy to come by, but it is not so difficult to destroy other people's opportunities.

Philip would bring someone over to say a few words, the meaning of which was obvious, of course.

Daniel also had no intention of "chasing and killing" them. After he said a few words casually, Robert Iger sent someone to invite him to the lounge.

For Daniel, coming here today is a formal reconciliation statement between him and Disney, but the most important thing is of course to have a face-to-face meeting with Robert.

Watching him walk in, Robert smiled as if nothing had happened.

"How is the scenery in Kenya?"

"Come and go in a hurry, until next year, if I have time, I plan to go to the prairie with Collins to see wild animals. Do you and Kourney want to go together?"

Robert laughed and shook his head, "The lion is here, we can't outrun it, we'd better go to the zoo to see it."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, we entered the topic.

Of course, it won't be the truth, the truth and the falsehood, the two of them deal with it to get the meaning right.

Daniel’s side, of course, is that no matter where I am or what price I quoted, if you think you are willing to do it, we will cooperate. If you don’t want to do it, then I will find someone else or do it myself. The scheming came to oppress me.

Since Robert intends to give up, even if he doesn't think so in his heart, he will deal with it humbly.

"Today, I have something else that I want to talk to you about. What do you think of Miramax?"

Robert suddenly raised a topic. (to be continued)
