Chapter 361: The Eve Party

""="('')"="()">

The unexpected encounter with Lin Xilei brought some unplanned surprises to Daniel's life in Vancouver. Although Daniel has become accustomed to the step-by-step studio life, he still needs strong self-control to avoid negative effects on his work - boring, repetitive , Familiar with these characteristics, for anyone, it is a problem that needs to be overcome in the work. net ..

The shooting plan for "Night at the Museum" should end in mid-April, followed by two or three months of post-production - this is a small business for Weta Digital, because the special effects requirements of "Museum" are not at all The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. This is a low-budget comedy movie, the important thing is the comedy effect, not the gorgeous special effects scenes, you show the cilia made of prehistoric dinosaurs, it is not that important for the movie itself, but the budget will quickly Soaring, after all, the cost of special effects for movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for every minute of footage. This is the price in the era of special effects. Chinese people are often ridiculed for special effects in movies. This is unavoidable. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of RMB, just for one minute of effects, not including everything else Ten years later, this is still something that most Chinese movies cannot afford. Hollywood films are often unable to make a return at the box office in North America, but their global reputation can help them make profits, and other sound and rich profit channels can also greatly reduce cost pressures—Chinese films do not have this condition .

The eve party for the Oscars ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on March 4th. The biggest eve party this year was hosted by The New York Times. Generally speaking, film companies, large media, brokerage companies, etc. are the hosts of these events main organizer. The film industry is actually planning to hold one. I can’t say what this really represents, but when people try to understand the status of a company, they often do consider these things. One of the most notable representatives is that Vanity Fair magazine has received considerable card blessings for hosting the annual post-Oscar awards celebration party.

The Oscars are definitely not a solitary award ceremony at the Kodak Theater on the evening of March 5th, which can be summed up. It actually needs to include at least a hundred before and after parties of all kinds. Every year, Miramax hosts a warm-up party for its shortlisted films. Many stars and producers in the circle are invited to help out, and they are very eye-catching every year. The party of the four major brokerage companies, especially CAA company, attracted the most attention. Many stars and directors under CAA will gather together. The important thing is, if you want to find a beautiful lady or a strong man who will accompany you through the long night here, give your money, status, and popularity. You can easily get what you want. CAA's parties attract many models and young actors who want to join them every year, and they are often everywhere. As small as an ordinary staff member of CAA, as big as those famous managers—such as Cusa Damon, if he wants to quit Jones behind his back, he can definitely taste all kinds of beauties in the world without repeating the same for three months, regardless of age, sex.

Some charitable organizations will also take this opportunity to attract enough popularity for themselves. They often have a symbiotic relationship with the stars, and the stars hope to gain praise from the public opinion,

Charities, on the other hand, want visibility. So as to be able to attract donations - a charity party attended by Daniel Sandler must be able to attract far more donations than a charity party with only some third-rate stars. But it is a pity that Daniel, who owns the "Technology for the Benefit of All Beings" Foundation, has never held or participated in similar parties, because his foundation has gathered the most potential high-tech companies in Silicon Valley-Google, F2F, MB, Bei Apple, Microsoft, Apple, etc. The "Technology for the Benefit of All Beings" that has a close cooperation with United is far from being comparable to those organizations that play gimmicks.

These various parties, each with its own characteristics, are parties dominated by older white people in luxury hotels. It is definitely different from a carnival in a small park owned by a young black movie star.

The "New York Times" party was quite close to the people. Hilton did not decorate the venue with splendor and splendor. A small hall plus a garden served more than 300 invited guests. It provides an enjoyment that is different from other high-end parties. Everyone's clothes are also mostly civilian. Long evening dresses that can be stretched to the floor are rare, and short dresses are the mainstream choice. Not all the men were in suits and ties, and more than one or two were casual and natural. Peter Jackson wore a thick leather jacket and led Francis in a little purple dress with ease in the venue. "King Kong" has made them regulars at ceremonies and parties throughout the awards season, despite not being recognized by any major awards. But as a director, he has to stand for his work.

Daniel Sandler's flawless red-carpet look, hairstyle, makeup, clothes, shoes, watch—Hilm sees tonight as a preview of tomorrow. In fact, while prepping the Oscars outfits, the eve party outfits have already been prepared along with it.

"Entertainment Weekly" made a 2005 annual summary a few days ago, selecting the most hardworking Hollywood actors in 2005.

Daniel is number one without a doubt!

His companies and investments in different fields, his appearances in "The Immortal Gardener" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," his ambassadorial duties with the UN refugee agency - all this makes up the craziest busy Daniel Sandler in Hollywood, The Weekly described him as having "an energy and a gifted intellect the envy of all". At the end of his review, the editor half-jokingly wrote, "In addition to all this official, even great work, Daniel has the hard work of maintaining the appearance of a global super icon on all occasions, Yes, you never see the embarrassed Daniel out on the street, and you never see Daniel's failed look on the red carpet. His smile always shows eight teeth, his forehead lines are strangled in the cradle, and his eyes are as charming as ever , staring at the camera or the guests all the time—for years. Sometimes we have to quietly imagine that maybe Daniel is a robot who ran out of the laboratory, with super intelligence and a perfect shell, no Aside from the need for a mechanism for rest, where all behavior is directed by a coded program, we really can't imagine how he did it."

I am afraid that only Daniel himself can answer the question of "Weekly" in the whole world. Sometimes Daniel also asks himself, turning back his life and starting a new one, why should he live so tiredly? If he accepts a slightly mediocre Daniel, maybe his daily time should be spent on vacations to tropical islands. Go to France to eat some top-notch cuisine, find a few Victoria's Secret Angels to go shopping and discuss life. And not like now. From the set to the award ceremony, from the award ceremony to the conference room for negotiations, from the conference room to the chairman's office...there is never a pause. Daniel's answer to himself is actually very simple: Since God has given him a new opportunity, he should see how far he can go, using up his energy, wisdom, strengths, and perseverance, all of which have been re-given to him. s things.

This is why he can do it and is willing to do it.

...

Janet Robinson, executive editor of The New York Times, stood at the door to welcome Daniel.

As the benchmark of the news industry, the head of the New York Times, Janet, is famous and powerful all over the United States.

Daniel is not familiar with her. But in Trivor's network, this is a very important node, not one of his own, but not an enemy either. "Times" will sometimes cause some trouble for Daniel, sometimes will provide him with some help, basically depends on the values ​​of this newspaper - even the Republican Party failed to win it over from the Democratic faction, and neither did Daniel. Think you can do it.

"Hi. Nice to meet you tonight."

Janet walked a few quick steps. Perhaps on another occasion, she would not have been so enthusiastic about Daniel, but at the eve party hosted by the New York Times, Daniel must have been one of their most honored guests. After Janet hugged Daniel, she still held hands with Melissa Lane behind him. It seems that the relationship is good.

This is not surprising to Daniel. As the chief content officer of the film industry, Melissa is targeting an important copyright group that is the "New York Times" bestseller list. Although the copyright does not belong to the "New York Times" itself, Melissa still It is unavoidable to have close communication with the "Times", and she is also a member of Daniel's management team, and there are many people who are willing to maintain a closer relationship with her.

The Times seems to be taking today's party quite seriously. Chairman Aziz Salzberger Jr. attended in person. When Daniel walked into the venue, he was talking with the chairman of the academy, Pearson, and soon walked over with a smile on his face.

Of course, his walk is quite slow, unlike Janet's.

Daniel also quickened a few steps, and the two happened to meet on the road.

"You're welcome, Daniel."

"thanks for your invitation."

"Melissa, you are so beautiful tonight."

"Thank you and good evening."

Soderbergh put Daniel's arm like an old friend, "Pearson is over there, let's have a chat."

Of course Daniel would not refuse. Although the results of the Oscars have been settled, the chairman of the Academy is still a figure that no actor wants to offend. Melissa followed Janet to other places to socialize. After Daniel became famous, or became a top figure in Hollywood, he has been short of female companions. Collins is often not in the United States and does not like to attend these events. As for the other actress, Daniel is unwilling to have unnecessary scandals. So, either they are alone, or Melissa Ryan acts as a female companion. Therefore, Melissa is actually very well-known in Hollywood, not much inferior to Kusa Damon who arrived in the previous step.

When Pearson and Salzberger were talking, Daniel's eyes scanned the entire venue, and it was not much different from the Golden Globe Awards. Some stars who are not shortlisted for the Oscars also appear here. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are quite dazzling. This new couple has gained more attention and power in their union with each other. Johnny Depp and Vanessa are equally eye-catching. Of course, acquaintances from the Golden Globes were also absent. Russell Crowe lost his nomination for Best Actor for the Oscars and heard that he had already returned to the Australian farm.

In addition to these stars, Daniel also saw many men and women in neat suits, most of whom were film fund managers holding projects. If you want to find one or two big stars, talk about cooperation matters - often they can't provide high salary, "naively" hope that the script can impress the actors - not to say that there are no, but very few.

"Daniel is much busier than us."

Hearing his name, Daniel quickly withdrew his gaze. He had been facing Pearson and Salzberger with a smile on his face. Now he withdrew his attention. Of course, the two old people didn't notice it.

"Daniel, you should enjoy your life."

"Are you saying don't think about Oscar?" Daniel said with a smile to Pearson, "To be honest, Pearson, Oscar has really hurt my brain recently."

The other two laughed, obviously, they understood what Daniel meant.

Roy Stein of the "Sun Times" sparked debates on and off. As the Oscars approached, the popularity of these remarks on social media increased again. Daniel's team remained silent, but Roy's followers became more and more serious. More and more, which is kind of annoying.

"This is the charm of Oscar, isn't it? Unless you are no longer an actor and no longer stand in front of the stage, otherwise you will have to endure these troubles." Pearson smiled smugly, which is his glory. Oscar's is the Academy's, and it's his. He had no reason not to be proud of these things. Although the academy also faced some criticism, but criticism is influence, they will pay attention to it, but they will not worry or hate it.

...

The conversation circle of the three most powerful men at the party was not far off.

This year's Oscar nominee Keira Knightley and Best Supporting Actress nominee Rachel Weisz, two hot British actresses are standing together at this moment, looking over there.

"Kayla, if I were you, I would find a way to win Daniel." Rachel said, the compatriots around her were 15 years younger than her, just the most delicate age, "If it wasn't for me being 10 years older than him, And there are children, I will definitely do it."

Keira looked at Daniel who was talking eloquently in the distance. She was no longer the young Keira Knightley when she just joined "Pirates of the Caribbean". She deeply understood what Daniel meant in Hollywood.

But, "I can't decide this matter, can I?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
