Chapter 361: eve party
\"\"=\\'\')\"=\)\">
The unexpected encounter with Lin Xilei brought some unplanned surprises to Daniel's Vancouver life. The step-by-step studio life, although Daniel has become accustomed to it, still requires strong self-control to avoid negative effects on work - boring, repetitive , Familiar with these characteristics, for anyone, it is a problem that needs to be overcome in the work. network..
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 effects, not the gorgeous special effects scenes. You show the cilia made of prehistoric dinosaurs. For the movie itself, it is not so important, but the budget will be fast. Soaring, after all, the special effects costs of 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 and millions of RMB are only for the effect of one minute, not including everything else. Expenditure, which is still beyond the reach of most Chinese films after ten years. Hollywood movies are often unable to make a return at the box office in North America, but their global reputation can help them make profits, and perfect and rich other profit channels can also greatly reduce cost pressures - Chinese movies do not have this condition. .
The Oscars eve party was held at the Beverly Hilton on March 4th, and the biggest eve party of the year was hosted by The New York Times. Usually, the studios, big media, agencies, etc. are the ones for these events main organizer. The film industry is actually planning to hold one, and I can't say what it really represents, but when people try to understand the status of a company, they often do consider these things. One of the most notable examples is that Vanity Fair gets a pretty big deal for hosting its annual post-Oscars celebration party.
The Oscars are definitely not something that can be summed up in a solitary awards show at the Kodak Theater on the night of March 5th. In fact, it needs to include at least a hundred before and after parties of various kinds. Miramax hosts a warm-up party every year for her shortlisted films. Many celebrities and producers in the circle are invited to help out, and they are very eye-catching every year. The four major brokerage companies, especially CAA's party, attracts the most attention, and many stars and directors under CAA will gather together. The important thing is, if you want to be here, to find a beautiful lady or a strong man to accompany you through the long night, give your money, your status, your 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 omnipresent. As small as the ordinary staff of CAA, as large as those famous brokers - such as Cusa Damon, if he wants to get rid of Jones on his back, he will definitely be able to taste all kinds of beauties in the world in three months, regardless of whether they are the same. age, gender.
Some charitable organizations will also take this opportunity to attract enough popularity for themselves. They often have a symbiotic relationship with celebrities. Celebrities hope to gain praise from public opinion, while charitable organizations hope to gain popularity. So it can attract donations - a charity party with Daniel **** is sure to attract far more donations than a charity party with only a few third-rate stars. Unfortunately, Daniel, who owns the "Technology Benefit All Living Beings" foundation, never holds or participates in similar parties, because his foundation gathers the most potential high-tech companies in Silicon Valley - Google, F2F, MB, Bayer Bao, Microsoft, Apple, etc. The "science and technology benefiting all living beings" that has close cooperation with United is far from being comparable to those organizations that play gimmicks.
These various parties, each with its own characteristics, are dominated by older white people in luxury hotels. It's definitely not the same as 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 have the splendid decoration of the venue. There was a small hall and a garden for more than 300 invited guests. Provides enjoyment that is different from other high-end parties. Everyone's dress is also mostly civilian, long evening dresses that can be dragged on the floor are rare, and short dresses are the mainstream choice. Not all the men were suits and ties. There were more than one or two casual and natural ones. Peter Jackson wore a thick leather jacket and took Francis, who was wearing a little purple dress, at the venue with ease. "King Kong" has made them regulars at ceremonies and parties throughout awards season, despite not being recognized by any mainstream awards. But as a director, he has to stand for his own.
Daniel **** is still impeccably dressed on the red carpet, hair, make-up, clothes, shoes, watches—Hilm treats tonight as a preview of tomorrow. In fact, when preparing for the Oscars, the clothes for the eve party were also ready.
"Entertainment Weekly" made a 2005 annual summary a few days ago, selecting the hardest Hollywood actors in 2005.
Daniel is without a doubt number one!
His companies and investments in different fields, he also starred in "The Immortal Gardener" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", his ambassadorial duties at the UNHCR - all these make up Hollywood's most crazy busy Daniel Sandler, The Weekly described him as having "an energy and a gifted intelligence that everyone envies." At the end of his review, the editor half-jokingly wrote, "In addition to all this formal, even great work, Daniel has a hard job of maintaining the look of a global super icon on all occasions, Yes, you never see the embarrassed Daniel out of the street, and you never see Daniel's failed look on the red carpet. His smile always shows eight teeth, his forehead tattoo is strangled in the cradle, and his eyes are as charming as ever. , staring at the camera or the guests all the time - for several years. Sometimes we have to quietly imagine that maybe Daniel is a robot that ran out of the laboratory, with super intelligence, a perfect shell, no Apart from a mechanism that requires rest, where all actions are directed by a coded program, we can't really imagine how he did all this."
"Weekly" question, I am afraid that only Daniel himself can answer the whole world. Sometimes Daniel also asks himself why he is so tired in a new start in his life, if he accepts a slightly mediocre Daniel, maybe every day should be spent on vacations on tropical islands. Go to France to eat some top dishes, find a few Victoria's Secret Angels to go shopping and discuss life. rather than like now. From the studio to the awards ceremony, from the awards ceremony to the negotiating room, from the conference room to the chairman's office... There is never a time to stop. Daniel's answer to himself is actually quite simple: since God has given him a new opportunity, he should see how far he can do it, use up his energy, wisdom, strength, perseverance, all of which have been given to him again s things.
That's why he can, and is willing to do it.
...
Janet Robinson, executive editor of The New York Times, greeted Daniel at the door.
As a benchmark in the journalism industry, Janet, who runs the New York Times, is well-known and powerful in the United States.
Daniel was not familiar with her. But in Triver's personal network, this is a very important node. It is not his own, but it is not an enemy. The Times sometimes causes Daniel some trouble and sometimes helps him, basically depending on the paper's values—even the Republicans haven't been able to pull it out of the Democratic faction, and neither has Daniel Think you can do it.
"Hi. Nice to see you tonight."
Janet took a few quick steps. Maybe on another occasion, she didn't have to be 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 and Daniel hugged, they clasped hands with Melissa Lane behind him. Seems to be in a good mood.
This is not surprising to Daniel. As the chief content officer of the film industry, an important copyright group targeted by Melissa 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. In addition, 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 take today's party very seriously. Chairman Az. Solzberger Jr. attended in person. When Daniel stepped into the venue, he was talking to the academy chairman Pierson, and soon walked over with a smile on his face.
Of course, his walking is quite slow, unlike Janet.
Daniel also accelerated a few steps, and the two happened to meet on the road.
"You are welcome, Daniel."
"thanks for your invitation."
"Melissa, you are so beautiful tonight."
"Thank you and good evening."
Soderbergh took Daniel's arm like an old friend. "Pearson is over there, let's talk."
Daniel certainly wouldn't say no, and while the Oscars results are in the dust, the academy president is still a figure no actor wants to offend. Melissa followed Janet to other places to socialize. After Daniel's rise to fame, or after becoming a top Hollywood figure, he has been short of female companions, and Collins is often not in the United States and does not like to attend these events. As for other actresses, Daniel is reluctant to have unnecessary scandals. Therefore, it is either a loner, or Melissa Lane acts as a female companion. Therefore, Melissa is actually very well-known in Hollywood, and it is not much inferior to Cusa Damon who arrived in the previous step.
While Pearson and Solsberger were talking, Daniel's eyes swept the entire venue, not too different from the Ballon d'Or. Some stars who were not nominated for the Oscar also appeared here, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are quite dazzling, this new couple has gained more attention and power in the combination of each other, Johnny . Depp and Vanessa are equally eye-catching. Of course, acquaintances of the Golden Globes also attended. Russell Crowe lost his Oscar nomination and heard that he had already returned to the Australian farm.
In addition to these stars, Daniel also saw a lot of men and women in neat suits, most of whom hold the project's film fund managers. Want to find one or two big stars and communicate about cooperation matters - often they can't provide high remuneration, "naive" hope that the script can impress the actors - not to say that there is no, but it is rare.
"Daniel is much busier than us."
Hearing his name, Daniel quickly retracted his glances. He had been facing Pearson and Solsberg all the time with a smile on his face. Now that he has withdrawn his attention, the two old people are of course unaware.
"Daniel, you should enjoy your life."
"You mean don't think about Oscar anymore?" Daniel laughed at Pearson. "To be honest, Pearson, I've really been having a hard time with Oscar lately."
The other two laughed, obviously they understood what Daniel meant.
The debate sparked by Roy Stein of The Sun Times was intermittent. 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 More and more, which is a little uncomfortable.
"That's the charm of the Oscars, isn't it? Unless you're no longer an actor and you're no longer standing in front of the stage, you're going to have to put up with all this trouble." Pearson laughed complacently This is where his glory lies. Oscar's, the Academy's, and his. He has no reason not to be proud of these things. Although the academy also faced some criticism, the criticism is influence, they will pay attention to it, but they will not worry or dislike it.
...
Not far from the circle of conversation of the three most powerful men at the party.
This year's Oscar nominee Keira Knightley and Best Supporting Actress nominee Rachel Weisz, two hot British actresses, are standing together and looking over there.
"Kyla, if I were you, I would find a way to take Daniel." Rachel said, the compatriots around her were 15 years younger than her, the most delicate age, "If it weren't for me 10 years older than him, And having kids, I'll definitely do it."
Keira looked at Daniel, who was talking in the distance. She was no longer the young Keira Knightley when she joined "Pirates of the Caribbean". She deeply understood what Daniel meant in Hollywood.
However, "This matter is not something I can decide, is it?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
