Ace Hollywood - Chapter 458

Daniel wasn’t quite sure which side Jon Landau was on. 【】

You know, since the Writers Guild of America decided to go on strike on November 5th, a large number of actors have joined it, such as Hawley Hunter, Julian Moore, Steve Carell, Tim Rowe Binns and Robin Williams, the biggest of them all is comedy star Ben Stiller, but a lot of eyes are on Daniel Sandler.

He is so special.

Before the end of October this year, the Screenwriters Guild had been negotiating with the Film and Television Producers Association – and the latter was controlled by the production companies. Naturally, dd Pictures, MGM Pictures, etc. were among them, so in fact, Daniel and the writers are on the opposite side, and belong to the group that needs to be brought down.

However, Daniel himself has always been quite low-key, mainly because he is operating the acquisition of Marvel, and there is no public activity. The media did not have the opportunity to ask questions face to face. This was the first time he attended a question-answering event since the matter fermented. So everyone is almost excited. You must know that Daniel can represent the dd film industry, but the dd film industry cannot represent Daniel. This sentence is a bit hard to say. Or the Producers Guild, they are all a whole. It is impossible to say that dd Pictures has come forward to reach an agreement with the Screenwriters Guild – so that dd Pictures will not have to mix in Hollywood. So at that time, dd Pictures and other companies were advancing and retreating, which is understandable in itself.

However, Daniel himself is different. As an influential actor and investor, his own attitude can exist independently of dd Pictures.

In other words, he can speak out and support the writers – which is the current politically correct choice.

“What is your attitude?”

Jon chatted with him a few words about “Juno,” but apparently absent-minded, and finally got straight to the point – if Daniel’s been there all the time, then Jon couldn’t keep silent.

Daniel paused.

“You have to tell me first, what’s your position? You’re a producer, and you have such a great relationship with Fox. So you’re against making an agreement with the Screenwriters Guild, aren’t you?”

“No, why object?” Jon shook his head quickly, “I don’t object. Daniel. Stop joking, you know the attitude of the production company better than anyone else. Now it’s just a matter of conditions. It’s impossible for the screenwriters to say how much How much, it’s impossible.”

Daniel’s face was still relatively relaxed. For him, this doesn’t seem to be a problem. Seriously, at the end of 2007, he could completely rely on himself to provide the script for the company. Of course, in the long run, no one can go it alone.

“Lianmei and Lionsgate seem to have started contact with the Screenwriters Guild. Do you know?”

A shrewd light flashed in Jon’s eyes.

“Daniel, you’ve been paying close attention to this matter, haven’t you? You’re so cunning to act like you don’t care.”

“It’s just slander, how could I not care about the strike, dd, MGM, waiting for the screenwriter every day – of course we have reserves, but that’s not always the solution to the problem.”

Jon Landau failed to get a word of truth from him, and in fact, there was no need to do so. In the end, the major studios still have to keep pace, and at this point, Daniel can’t do anything about it. But he actually decided to do something, of course. He can also hide it. You must know that dd Pictures, which has prepared in advance, is the company in the whole Hollywood that is least afraid of strikes.

Take MGM as an example, its two blockbuster films, the 22nd episode of the “007” series. And the first script of “The Hobbit” has been completed. As for the sequel of “Dancing Out of My Life”, “Magic Mike 2” and other films are also ready, and even the lower limit of the script has been relaxed, and a lot of them have been stored. Potential script and ip.

Some media even claimed that dd Pictures had received news from the Screenwriters Guild in advance.

Of course, this is unprovable. However, the dd film industry has become a lot calmer because of this, and there is no doubt about it.

Under this premise, Daniel’s manipulation space is relatively large.

This time, if he attended the premiere of “Juno”, it would be unrealistic to say that he was not prepared for anything. But whether he can do it or not is not something he can completely control. After all, in the face of personal interests, whether you are Daniel **** or a small person, the effect is not the same.

……

After the interview with the creator, Daniel **** accepted a group interview.

Everyone’s faces were filled with an excited expression of “I finally caught you”.

“Daniel, hello, how much do you expect from the box office of “Juno”?”

The reporters didn’t seem to be in a hurry to ask the most important questions, but they were very polite and asked about the topic of “Juno” first.

“I’m sure everyone will like her. She’s cool and powerful, isn’t she? The director, screenwriter, and actor are all incredibly talented and amazing. They have contributed a wonderful work that deserves to be welcomed.”

“So, Daniel, has Megan Fox seen this movie? Does she like it?”

“Huh?” Daniel shook his head with a smile, “She probably hasn’t seen it. As for whether she likes it, you can ask me after she has seen it.”

After a few rounds of box office and scandals, finally, the reporter from the Los Angeles Times couldn’t help it.

“Daniel, you just said that you are very confident in “Juno” because talk shows and TV shows have been suspended due to the writer’s strike. Is it the reason why everyone is eager to see more good movies? What do you think about this matter? We I know, the screenwriters, as well as some of the actors, continue to hope that you can come out to support them, but as the boss of dd Films, is your attitude consistent with that of the Film Producers Association? And ~www.mtlnovel.com~George Clooney, Tom Hanks and others are trying to mediate for the two sides. Do you have any plans for this? Do you have any specific plans?”

“Ah,” Daniel laughed for a long time, “this reporter friend asked a lot of questions, I can’t remember them all. But I will try my best to answer you one by one, “Juno” no matter at any time, always It is a competitive film, which I have confidence in. Regarding the strike, I believe that expressing demands is a right. Of course, I hope that when all parties fight for their own rights, they can also take into account the rights of others. , especially the audience, as you said, the audience is getting tired of boring TV shows and repetitive episodes, which is not good for anyone.

Then there’s my attitude, right? I support more efforts by both sides to reach an agreement as soon as possible. Finally, will I come forward to mediate? “

Speaking of the last question, Daniel paused and finally nodded.

“Yes, I will try to do this next. The strike has been going on for a month, and it seems to be indefinite. I hope this problem can be resolved before the second Social Age Public Choice Awards.”

“You mean you will come forward to mediate the issue next?”

The reporter who asked the question just now repeatedly confirmed that this is amazing. For a month, Daniel has been in a state of hiding, and everyone thought he was going to be silent to the end.

Daniel gave him a definite answer again.

“Yes!” (To be continued.)
