Ace Hollywood

"A busy Daniel returns to Los Angeles to continue promoting 'Bourne' after flying to France for the Cannes Film Festival, calling Bourne his 'cool guy,'" the Dallas Morning News reported Daniel in late May. Super busy work, "This young, hard-working star must have become a super diamond user of American Airlines, not only flying around the United States, but also flying to Europe and Asia from time to time. Of course, he was received in Cannes The unprecedented welcome and attention also shows that Daniel Sandler, who has become popular all over the world with "The Fellowship of the Ring", has truly become a global superstar. Perhaps, he is now short of an award to secure his position. Currently in Can "The Pianist", who performed quite steadily at Cannes, make him win a Cannes best actor? It may not be big, but there is still some hope."

"Cannes Best Actor? My God, compete with Jack Nicholson?"

"About Schmidt" is the most popular Cannes actor, and it seems that there are almost no rivals at present, but the urine of Cannes has never been something that Hollywood can figure out. It is not surprising if Jack fails. But for Daniel, this is not good news. If Jack loses the honor of best actor because of his Hollywood pedigree, then he, the most prosperous representative of Hollywood, will be even more hopeless.

Maybe the Belgians or the Austrians will get their money's worth, but Hollywood, it seems, seems, looks, doesn't care about Cannes anyway.

When Andy showed the briefing to Daniel, Daniel's reaction was as expected. He didn't stay in Cannes at all, he only watched Woody Allen's opening film, and then flew out of Cannes, leaving only Polanski One is there to cope. There is no way around this. The intensive "Bourne Shadow" screenings have started all over the United States. The media, audiences, theaters, producers, and all kinds of previews need to be present. No one could help him this time. Although Franka Burtant was the heroine, she really didn't have much popularity. No matter how much Doug Liman valued the German actress, she couldn't let her provoke the important task of publicity.

Therefore, the evaluation of an audience preview meeting yesterday was 8 percentage points lower than the A+ rating of the preview meeting attended by Daniel.

This is the reality, and the feeling of rushing to respect will also become an important basis for the audience to rate. If you can see the director, leading actor, producer, etc. present, and wait with trepidation for yourself to give this movie a score, most people will feel good. That's why the audience who watched the movie snorted for a while when they found out that there was no Daniel but only Franke.

"You have to come back, Daniel, you're needed here." Both Frank Marshall and Tony Gilroy called him, even though he was supposed to be at the opening and declined all other movie parties.

At the beginning of the competition between Matt Damon and Daniel Sandler, Frank and Tony both supported Daniel, and now it seems that it could not be more correct. The movie has not been released yet, at least a lot of publicity expenses have been saved. Daniel is really "loved" by the media, and there is always news throughout the year.

The second preview held in New York is also aimed at audiences, some of whom are members of IMDB, some are advanced users of major theaters in New York, and there are also professional audiences such as "Hollywood Report" and "Variety Show". Subscribers of film publications are always people who pay attention to films, have a certain appreciation ability, and have a relatively large influence among film fans.

Daniel's appearance received enthusiastic applause. Daniel was not present at the scene the day before yesterday. They thought they might not see Daniel before the premiere, but they didn't expect him to appear in this scene.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meet the audience of that scene before,

In fact, I flew to France, and Leonardo and Cameron were there, and they seemed very close. "Daniel paused, waiting for the burst of laughter to stop. This kind of promotional joke is nothing serious. But the cautious Daniel is actually just responding to them.

The director of "Gangs of New York" Woody Allen was born in Brooklyn, New York, and he is a "citizen" with Daniel. He loves that land deeply, and many creative inspirations also come from there. In the previous interview, he and the lead actor Leonardo joked about Daniel.

The reporter asked him "Are gangs rampant in Brooklyn?"

Leonardo took over and said, "Are you talking about 'gangsters' like Daniel Sandler? Don't talk about Brooklyn, I'm afraid there are not many in New York or even in the United States."

This kind of teasing with hidden compliments, of course, will not cause conflicts.

Daniel's proper response to Leonardo today is all part of building a friendship.

"Actually, maybe I was wrong, because the time was so tight, I turned around in the middle of the red carpet, and Tony urged my phone to come out of the speaker in Cannes."

The laughter became more intense, and Tony Gilroy also showed a wry smile, shaking his head quickly, indicating that he did so.

"So, maybe Leonardo was making out with Woody Allen?"

Now, even the main creators couldn't help laughing, and the laughter of the audience waiting to watch the movie almost knocked off the cinema.

Daniel himself didn't laugh, he was serious, and seemed to be saying something very normal and ordinary, which made some people laugh sporadically after the silence.

"I think my honesty may attract revenge from the gangsters. This is New York after all. Let's hurry up and watch a movie."

In the final high-spirited atmosphere, the theater lights slowly dimmed, and the Universal logo appeared on the screen.

...

"How is Collins? You seem to be in a good mood." Franca and Daniel sat side by side.

She is German, and recently because of her participation in "The Bourne" and her cooperation with Daniel, she has a high probability of being mentioned in the German media.

"You know Collins?"

"Who doesn't know someone from the Porsche family? We met, talked briefly, and she seemed polite, well-bred, and a nice girl."

While Daniel was watching the dark ocean background on the screen, a small fishing boat seemed to be crumbling in the storm, while on the sea not far away, a little light showed something unusual in such a background. The story will start from here The piece of ocean begins.

"Oh, are you going to show your butt?"

Franke suddenly changed the subject. She had seen the rough cut, but not the rest.

"Subtracted, and Doug thinks that might obscure the rest of the publicity."

She showed obvious disappointment, "That's really bad. But also, if you show your buttocks, I'm afraid all the newspapers will be like this tomorrow. Who will remember the 'audience film reviews' they have worked so hard to prepare."

Two hours passed quickly.

When Jason met Mary again in the charming sea breeze in Greece, everyone realized that the movie had come to an end.

"so fast."

Cobo is the owner of a private dental clinic in New York. He likes movies, especially spies and war movies. Of course, he has high expectations for the variant spy movie "The Bourne". This time he invited his friend Dyson ·Harry, an otaku engineer, has a sneak peek together.

The list of actors and actresses is still broadcasting on the screen, but the movie that does not say that there are easter eggs is considered finished at this moment.

"Indeed," Dyson stretched, feeling his back was a little stiff, "it's too fast, which shows that the rhythm of the movie is quite tight, and there is almost no time when it feels boring."

"It's great," said Cobb, who has seen a lot of similar movies and has considerable taste. "Doug Liman's skill in mastering the shots is amazing. Every shot is clean and neat. Even the long shots are full of people. Breathtaking charm. This is an amazing director."

"Jason is great too, I think."

Dyson also likes watching movies, but he is not at the same level as an enthusiast like Cobo. Usually when he and Cobo watch movies, he will always receive some IQ inspiration. Some don't understand well, and Cobo will explain to him at this time. Under normal circumstances, Cobb would never deprive him of the pleasure of watching movies. Think about it, if your friend is constantly chattering and showing off his eyesight, experience and guessing when watching a movie, how annoying it is, don't even think about it, the next time you watch a movie, just kick him Kick it off, I'd rather watch it alone, and there's no need to abuse myself like this.

Cobb was silent for a while, words were still running on the screen.

For Jason Bourne's performance, he can first agree with Dyson, great! In fact, according to the understanding of ordinary people, Jason's agile skills, calm and high IQ response, and the outrageousness of facing the CIA, that is, the Central Intelligence Agency, are all remarkable. If it's Daniel's young female fans, even just staring at him, it's charming enough, whether it's the crew's ill-fitting sweater, or the tight black tank top later, and the long legs, including the eternal charming Every precise emotional expression of that face is worth the price of admission. However, Cobb is unwilling to give Daniel's performance an evaluation so simply.

The lights of the movie theater began to come on slowly.

The rustling of people interrupted Cobb's thinking.

"Daniel's performance, and this story." Cobo felt that he needed a little time to think about it. Isn't this the charm of a movie, or a similar movie, rather than "Legally Blonde" after watching it, only endless Only those who are sick can extract a few words of chicken soup for the soul. "Bourne" is definitely not that kind of work, it is definitely suitable for watching twice, or even three times.

After a film is shown, it is customary for the main creator to interact with the audience, especially now, when there are still more than 20 days to go before the release, the distributor still has to rely on the audience's reaction to determine the ultimate strategy.

"Director Liman, I have a question. Bourne missed it at the beginning because he saw the child's eyes. An elite CIA agent with such a huge training cost finally missed it for such a reason. Do you think Unreasonable?"

Doug Liman smiled. "I think it's a better question for Daniel to answer."

Daniel waved his hand. He is a popular figure now and is usually asked many times, so most of the time he pushes the question to others.

But Doug Liman was pretty insistent.

"Well, then I'll answer that question. Mr. Smith?"

Smith nodded and smiled.

"I don't know what kind of agent is in your heart? Is it like 007, a car beauty, an invincible image, or something else. But Jason is not like that—"

When Cobo heard this, he was suddenly enlightened, and he finally knew why he felt wrong.

Jason is an agent, but not an agent.

Daniel's coldness and firmness in fighting skills, spear skills, plot reasoning, even driving, and even fighting, coupled with the excellent personal appearance of the movie agent, made him have no doubt that this is an excellent product of the CIA. Sophisticated, ruthless, powerful, ruthless killing machine. But it's not all like that, from the very beginning, because of a child's gaze, I missed it, and most of the time I persistently asked who I was, my past, what I wanted and what I got, what a selfish person this is, this This self is not external, but internal. It definitely does not need to use the vase of "Bond Girls" to assist symbolic agents.

To put it more grandly, this is a milestone for the spy movie to move from imagination to reality.

Therefore, Cobo, who has watched a lot of movies, will feel unsatisfied.

On the stage, Daniel briefly stated that this plot is not useless, nor is it a mistake, but a setting.

"I hope everyone can understand what Jason wants to express, and also understand the intention of our entire creative team and Doug. This is an important point, and you can think about it."

At the early audience preview, it is of course impossible for the main creator to say everything cleanly, so it is rare to ask the question of Mr. Smith just now on such an occasion.

Dyson adjusted his glasses and raised his hand for questions, but this time it was not his turn.

"What do you want to ask?" Cobb asked suspiciously.

"I wanted to ask him how he feels about Porsches."

"Um?"

Dyson is an otaku, very proficient in the Internet, and knows a lot about Daniel and Collins's affair, but Cobb doesn't know it all. After Dyson explained, he looked at his friend with admiration. It is really hard to imagine what he would do at home alone with such an enthusiastic gossip.

After a few questions, it was finally Dyson's turn.

"Hello, Daniel. I'm Dyson. I've been paying attention to you for a long time. I've always wanted to build your muscles. Do you have any suggestions?"

Cobb's mouth opened slightly, which was different from what he said just now.

Dyson was a few years younger than he, but also a man of thirty-two.

Daniel and everyone were amused. The topic of fitness has been asked many times, and of course the answer was very easy, "Hi Dyson, I think the most important thing about fitness is to hypnotize yourself. Oh no, start a joke."

"Make a fitness plan, pay attention to your diet, and then stick to it. You must stick to it. You can take pictures every day to record your progress like me. I believe that under the normal intensity, there will be obvious results in three months. I wish you You succeeded."

"Okay, thanks, I have one more question, sorry. Excuse me, do you like Porsches?"

"You mean the car?"

"You can also understand it as something else, such as a woman."

Now, I am happy to understand, and ask people around if I don’t understand.

Doug, Tony, Frank, and Chris Cooper all looked at Daniel with great interest on the stage. As an insider, I still know this news. Daniel's new girlfriend is the heir of the Porsche family in Germany. Collins' grandfather is the current helm of the family, Wolfgang Porsch.

"Ah, yes, I guess it's all the same, yes."

Daniel will be on vacation in Northern Ireland after the release of Bourne, and he doesn't want to be surrounded by a large number of paparazzi when the time comes. Admit it early, there will always be a few annoying sidekicks. And there will be other members of the Porsche family going with them. Although there will definitely be an impact, it needs to be minimized as much as possible.

"Wow."

This answer obviously surprised everyone.

"But BMW sponsored us, Porsche didn't, and we're talking too much here that Porsches are going to get gangsters brought in by the sponsors, and this is New York."

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo will be ruined by him.

The host ordered a middle-aged woman.

"Daniel—"

Sure enough, it was Daniel again. This was his fourth question in a row.

"Can I ask someone else? For example, let Daniel drink some water." Chris Cooper picked up the microphone in front of Doug and said.

But the lady insisted on shaking her head, her eyes were sharp, and she seemed very eager to fight.

"Daniel, my younger brother has just been sent to the Middle East, and the anti-war remarks of celebrities recently are really outrageous. What do you think of what you are doing? Do you think celebrities should be involved in these things?"

All quiet.

The host took a look at the colors of Daniel and Doug, and if he got the signal, he would immediately stop this question.

But Doug looked at Daniel and didn't do anything special.

Daniel was a little surprised, but maintained a gentle expression. He seemed to think about it and straightened the microphone.

"Ma'am, first of all, I hope your younger brother can return home safely, and God bless him. Then, I can’t talk about many personal opinions here, so I will simply reply to your question. The difference between a star and an ordinary person lies in influence, But influence, like a president, can’t take away people’s liberties. Of course celebrities can do it, and so can you and all American citizens. That’s all, thank you for coming.”

The post-screening meeting only lasted half an hour, so the rest of the time was basically forcibly allocated to the director and other actors.

The episode just now did not affect everyone's good mood, because most people gave this movie a very good evaluation, which is consistent with the results of the previous preview, and Universal now has more confidence in the box office. Shanying's routine pre-screening forecast is not a fee-based item, but an open one. They give numerical forecasts for films that have attracted the attention of the audience. The North American forecast for "The Bourne Movie" is 120 million.

Compared with the blockbuster film "007", "The Bourne" is relatively small, so the major evaluation agencies have no tendency to predict the box office explosion, but if 100 million is obtained, then only the North American box office can appear. If the profit is 120 million, Universal will be running a very good project, and similar themes should be expected to perform better on DVD.

It's no surprise that Daniel's confession of an affair with the only granddaughter of the Porsche family helm has dominated the headlines for a while.

Even ex-girlfriend Jessica has been popular for a while.

The problem she had was the endless "Daniel" "Daniel" "Daniel"...

"We're not in touch, at the moment. I really don't have much to say about his new relationship."

The unbearable Jessica officially sealed the issue. Yes, there is no contact. In other words, she is not even a friend. Of course, she has no obligation to respond to Daniel's new relationship.

And until the second half of late May, the word-of-mouth of the preview screenings of "The Bourne Movie" began to come out one after another.

Among them, the film review signed by Cobb Kerr reprinted by the "New York Times" has attracted much attention. The Times' editorial staff saw it and recommended it to the editor, so the audience film was published in the paper alongside an article by The Times' own film critic.

"Farewell 007, hello Jason Bourne"

Cobb spent a small space in his film review to give a brief summary description of the aspects praised by other film critics, and more than half of the space was spent on explaining the differences and innovations between "The Bourne" and "007" series of films . Cobb's own taste is more inclined to Jason Bourne, so in his article he also unabashedly admired Jason Bourne-like agents. In his original words, he is "a man of flesh and blood but excellent skills, A special worker who retains ordinary humanity but possesses an extraordinary temperament."

The feedback received by the "New York Times" clearly shows that the "Bourne Shadow" described by Cobb has attracted many people. It is different from the label of 007, which is a good move. Even Daniel wondered if this sharp-eyed Dr. Cobb Kerr was a babysitter arranged by Universal. A follow-up story in The Times described Bourne as "a fine film about to become the flagship new spy movie, and it's clear that this one won't be an exception on Daniel Sandler's list of best films." .After "Gladiator", "Legally Blonde" and "The Fellowship of the Ring", will "The Bourne Shadow" also undoubtedly break through 100 million? Everyone will wait and see."
