Ace Hollywood

Snapped!

A copy of the "Los Angeles Times" was thrown on the table, and the coffee that Deshaer had just made made ripples in circles.

This is Disney's choice, and it is also Disney's "warning" to Daniel - "You are still too young, it is not the time for me to listen to you".

There is no doubt that Disney planned this and slapped Daniel hard. The "Los Angeles Times" is the newspaper Daniel is most familiar with. Jones and Carroll are very close to Daniel, and the annual public relations expenses spent on the "Times" are also the largest among major media.

However, such a report, just like this, was published without any communication with Daniel, and then drove Daniel to the edge of a cliff.

What is certain is that it is impossible for Jones to do such a thing, and Daniel is still sure of this.

That leaves Carroll, the editor-in-chief of The Times.

This media tycoon, who seems to have a good relationship with Daniel, obviously did not hesitate to completely offend Daniel this time, but also to meet Disney's requirements.

Perhaps in his view, it is obvious who is on the strong side between the stars and the big national newspapers.

Taking a deep breath, Daniel forcibly calmed down his furious mood.

"So, that fight accident was also caused by Disney?"

What he asked was Kusa-Kousa was obviously more aware of these things than the rest of the team.

"Not necessarily, these young boys and girls are indeed the main participants in your debate this time. So whether the debate has reached a certain stage and naturally induced similar incidents, or is someone playing a role in it. Unless you investigate, it is difficult to get News. I have asked my family to find out about it, but it only involves some youth groups, so it should not be difficult to know.” Kusa paused, “It is also very easy to promote these things. On the Internet, you know better than me .As long as someone ignites the fire and guides the conflict in this direction. Those young and vigorous gang members are easy to provoke. Those who are interested can easily know that those people are unemployed and students. Therefore, the possibility of someone manipulating is It's a big deal, Disney has shown before that he is indeed doing something. So if all this is a coincidence, I'm afraid it's unlikely."

Daniel agreed with Kusa's words.

This time, at the beginning, Robert just hoped to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean" and suppress "Return of the King". After Daniel's intentions came through, after weighing it, it was obvious that Robert planned to teach Daniel something.

Like, how ludicrous Hollywood's ally is.

The knife from the "Los Angeles Times" has been remembered by Daniel for a long time.

"What about Saya?"

The argument has gone from three wins to one win and two losses. It is impossible for the new line to remain silent. Since Daniel is also the victim, Saya will find him after all.

Both Sally and Trevor have communicated with New Line.

And now, they are all looking at Kusa Damon.

Cusa sighed resignedly. Koussa was certainly the first on the team to avoid being incinerated by Daniel's rage when he was clearly on the verge of a rage.

"Saya said he loves Legolas more, and he wants you to do the same."

The two companies are now throwing the key ball to Daniel Sandler, yes. If he's really upset about this move by Disney, there's a lot he can do. For example, directly proclaiming that he prefers Legolas. As for reasons, teammate can help him find a lot of them.

That's sure to be a major blow to Pirates of the Caribbean, not just hurting the current franchise's box office, but potentially ruining the potential for a sequel.

A character who can be called the pillar of the whole movie is abandoned by the actor who played him. This will definitely cause fans of the Captain's faction to give up "Pirates of the Caribbean" on a large scale, and the overlap between these people and the fans of the movie itself is as high as 80%.

So, yes, Daniel only needs to go out and make a statement. He will lose a large number of fans, but it will not fundamentally affect his future. After all, he is about to leave for a year. Maybe it was left on the movie itself, not on him as an actor. Even, he can use some tactful words to keep some of the captain fans who are not radical, while alleviating the other part's dislike of himself.

But Disney is definitely going to swallow a bitter pill.

But to do so, for the actor Daniel, the impact is limited to this, and for the investor Daniel, it means that later in the series, he directly gives up seeking more box office. That may be tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars.

Robert obviously knew this well, so he did it all with impunity.

Saya of New Line Films, the bargaining chip in his hand, can pose a little danger to Daniel, only the rights and interests belonging to Weta Digital in "The Return of the King". Daniel is a shareholder of Weta, so if New Line uses this weapon, he will have to face the pressure from Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor.

What's more, the large number of "Lord of the Rings" fans, as well as Legolas fans, are also a force that can be mobilized by the new line. They are planning a promotional plan for "The Return of the King", and they naturally have an advantage if they want to guide fans.

Relatively speaking, New Line Cinema's bargaining chip is much weaker. Weta Digital's rights and interests are not something he can hold back if he wants to. After all, there is still a court. When Peter was owed before, it was almost Walking to the gate of the court, it was only after Daniel intervened that everything returned to the negotiating table.

The income of the sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean" - each one is at the level of one billion, and the box office alone has a share of over 100 million. This amount of money is something Daniel cannot give up.

Robert pinched his lifeline.

So he publicly declared that he preferred the option of Legolas, and Daniel was the first to rule it out.

In fact, any public biased remarks are unacceptable, and he must try to avoid driving his fans out. For Daniel, these fans and the other influence he seeks will together form his own in Hollywood. power base.

"If you let go of the dispute between the Elf faction and the captain faction, and take out the incident in Brooklyn this time, we can contact Finn Collins. With his assistance, it should be easy to get some Open up the opportunity to express your views."

"Talk about him from left to right?"

Kusa nodded, "It's not a bad idea, Daniel, we can completely blur the focus. Obviously, Robert is too much on your side to consider this issue, so he thinks you have to choose one of the two possibilities." This kind, other than that, can only answer ambiguously, which is more beneficial to maintain the topic. But he ignores one point, from any other people, whether they are rights holders or ordinary people, the problems of violence and racial discrimination among teenagers, It's more mainstream than the debate about you, and it's more 'should be concerned'. If you cut in from this side, Trevor's side is going all out in public relations. Even if it can't be compared with Disney, the media should understand what 'politics' is correct'."

This proposal made everyone fall into deep thought.

"I think Cusa's suggestion is feasible, and it should be the best way at the moment." Triver scanned the "Los Angeles Times", "If it is before this year's Oscars, maybe this method is not so effective. Sure, but right now, although Disney is a behemoth, it absolutely cannot control all media, especially the Internet, which is our home turf.”

During this year's Oscars, Trevor spent millions of dollars to establish a public relations network belonging to Daniel's team, and now is obviously the time for them to show their power.

Everyone looked at Daniel.

If he approves of this method, he must act immediately. The longer this kind of thing spreads, the worse the impact will be.

In Burbank, 40 miles away in Malibu, Robert was on the phone with Carroll of The Times.

"Bob, to be honest, I think you are too tough this time, and the friendship between The Times and Daniel is also very important to us. But after this time, I can hardly believe that he will choose to cooperate with us .Daniel's team is already developing a better relationship with the "Washington Post" and other large media, and the "Times" will use up all previous advantages in doing so."

Robert leaned on his large swivel chair, "John, don't worry too much, Daniel is a very realistic person, he will understand everything."

"But he's only 24 years old, a 24-year-old young, Hollywood star, can you believe that would be a thoughtful person?"

"However, don't forget that he is a 24-year-old billionaire, an Oscar winner, and a Hollywood strategist who has made Weinstein, Scott Rudin, and Alexander Payne all guilty. Believe me, John, Daniel I will understand the pros and cons. I have been frank with you. In "Pirates of the Caribbean", Daniel has one-third of the investment rights, which means hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, but what can "Lord of the Rings" give him? Back then New Line is only willing to give him a salary of 70,000 U.S. dollars. And his return from "Pirates of the Caribbean" has exceeded 70 million. If it were you, how would you choose? Don't underestimate Daniel, that is even me Young people who have to worry.”

"Then why do you stubbornly adopt such a violent method?"

Obviously, John Carroll had tried to dissuade Robert Iger before, but that report clearly showed that he failed.

"John, as you said, Daniel is only 24 years old, but he already has everything, money, status, power, fame, he has everything. We need to find a new way to deal with him, not to him. Ask for anything. It’s time to tell him that Hollywood’s waters are deeper than he thought. Even New Line’s Saya should agree with me on this.” (To be continued)
