Ace Hollywood

Chapter 165: God of Ferguson

The two finalized the audition time for the heroine, and Jerry talked about the producer of DD.

"It doesn't necessarily require him to do specific work, but after all, your investment is in it, and it is a responsible attitude for you to send someone to intervene."

Daniel nodded, not surprised that Jerry brought this up.

Sometimes, producers are exclusive, that is, they do not allow or require a certain number of producers to be listed as producers alongside themselves, but there are many categories of producers. The difference between the producer PGA and industry organizations such as the actor union and the screenwriters union is that it does not manage much, so when it comes to the producer's signature, it is usually between the studio and the producer themselves. Once a dispute arises, the PGA will be entrusted to arbitrate. A famous example is "Shakespeare in Love", which was forcibly run by the Weinstein Brothers three years ago to the Oscar for best picture. After winning the best picture, this film , five people came to accept the award, which was generally considered too many, so since then, there have been only three Oscars for the producers of the best picture.

These three quotas generally include the first producer and the executive producer. If there is no highly respected first producer, then there may be three or less than three executive producers.

In "Pirates of the Caribbean", Jerry is the undisputed first producer, Paul Deason and Bruce Hendrick are hired producers, executive producers, which is also eligible to be on the podium , the remaining Charlie Ohman, Mike Statham and others are all producers of Jerry Bruckheimer Company, they can only be co-producers and are not eligible to receive awards, of course they planned in the early stage There is not much workload until the marketing promotion.

If Daniel went in by himself, it would be a little bit reluctant to be an executive producer, but he could fight for it. After all, he participated in the script, director selection, and casting, and he would definitely participate in the specific shooting and post-production publicity, which gave him a little bit of confidence. What's more, he is still the second investor, and the PGA is increasingly discouraging investors and celebrities from being a producer, but if you insist on being a producer, other than a few gossip, most people can't do anything to you. But if Daniel just sent one person in, even David couldn't snatch an executive producer. He could only be a co-producer like Charlie.

As the first producer, Jerry certainly doesn't mind how many co-producers can't reach his clothes. In order to ensure a smooth and pleasant cooperation with DD, it is very beneficial for Daniel to send a producer.

Of course Daniel also understood this, he really wanted to send who.

Of course DD Films has candidates, but Daniel is not familiar with it, and David has a new plan, so his people should be useful, after all, DD is just a good person.

Besides, inside the people Daniel knew.

Michael Toh, the producer of "School Blues," is in the prime of his life right now, taking on a ton of jobs, but nothing impactful. Speaking of which, this strategy has an important impact on one's personal credibility. For example, now that Daniel wants to invite him, the first one is worried that he has no time, and the second one is worried that his series of unknown works will affect To "Pirates" - that's what Hollywood believes in.

Except for his accident, Daniel found that he knew fewer producers, and most of them were directors and producers.

I sorted out the people I knew from the beginning, "Campus Blues", "Gladiator"... Ferguson!

The mean kid who hangs out with Sharon Adams - ten years older than Daniel, of course. He was originally Ron Howard's assistant director, and he seems to have produced one or two quiet movies in the past two years.

Ferguson has no qualifications, so he will be more obedient, which will reduce Jerry's work a lot - some pretentious people like to put forward their own opinions, but Daniel doesn't need such people now, Jerry can handle everything. Daniel's butterfly wings have taken away Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp and, not surprisingly, Keira Knightley, and if Jerry isn't given enough room, he's really into this movie. I'm getting worried.

"Well, I seem to have someone to choose, but let me think about it again, how about this, I will write back to you in two days to see if he is willing to join DD."

Of course Jerry won't refuse, at least now there is a point.

...

After returning home, Daniel found Ferguson's phone number. At any rate, this one was more reliable, and he remembered to send the number after changing the phone number.

"Hi Ferguson, good evening."

"Whoa, Daniel? I'm waiting for your call."

"uh-huh?"

"Adams said today that he received a call from your company. I think you should also think of me."

At this moment, Daniel could be said to be stunned, but David moved very quickly, and he had already called Sharon. As for Ferguson, if it wasn't for Jerry's coincidence that he asked him to send a producer, I'm afraid he really did. can't remember.

But now, of course, he didn't need to admit it.

"Yes, Ferguson, I have an opportunity for you, as a producer, how about it, are you interested?"

"I heard from Adams that it might be a horror movie or a comedy movie, is that what he said?"

Daniel knew that he had misunderstood, and Ferguson thought that Daniel was looking for him because of the two low-cost films of DD Films. This guy didn't even think about it, since Adams was called by David, how could he be called by Daniel himself? Could it be that he has a bigger face.

"No, Ferguson, not that one, "Pirates of the Caribbean", have you heard of it?"

There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, and Daniel heard a gasped voice, followed by Ferguson's slightly trembling tone. Daniel didn't know whether the trembling sound he heard was his vocal cords or the reed of the phone. He did feel a tremor though.

"Are you kidding? You mean me to be a producer on Pirates of the Caribbean?"

"Just a co-producer, no power."

"That's a big A-level production with an investment of more than 100 million. My God, today is not April Fool's Day. Daniel, you are not pretending."

Daniel was dumbfounded by his series, obviously this is a coveted and exciting opportunity, especially for a junior producer like Ferguson, who can only get those movies that only release home video tapes by chance - more intuitive The expression is that the annual salary is less than 100,000 US dollars. I have to say that he is a bit miserable.

Obviously, a producer who has become a blockbuster movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, no matter what co-producer or nominal producer, as long as he has this resume, he may no longer worry about job opportunities, at least for a few years.

After calming down a little over there, Daniel asked.

"Have you considered it? If you have considered it, come to DD Films tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. Let's talk."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

Until he hung up the phone, Daniel could still hear "My God" from the microphone.

Now, Daniel was indeed his God.

On the other end of the phone, Ferguson's new girlfriend Grey, a doctor. Gray saw him go into the bedroom to answer the phone, and then he was like crazy, dazed and giggling.

"What's the good news? I'm so happy, I just heard you say Daniel, which Daniel? How come I don't know which of your friends is named Daniel."

Daniel is actually a very common name.

"Daniel Sandler!"

Gray didn't even shake the plate in her hand, "Do you think I'm your ex-girlfriend of that TV actress? I've been fooled by your big words for more than half a year. It's good that Daniel is my idol, but your lies are too outrageous." gone."

"I'm really not kidding you this time, Daniel Sandler, I worked with him, just two years ago, you know, when he was just a rising star, did "School Blues," signed "Gladiator."

Putting down the fork, Gray took a closer look at Ferguson, "What you said is true?"

"certainly!"

"Then why did he seek you?"

"He asked me to be the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean." Have you heard of "Pirates of the Caribbean"? Disney's new movie."

"Of course I know, I'm a die-hard fan of Daniel, and he still has investment." Gray went back to the kitchen, "So, your mind is still not clear, do you think you are Ferguson Bruckheimer? Please be the producer Filmmaker."

Ferguson fell back on the sofa.

"Tomorrow you can go to DD Films with me, and I will meet Daniel."

"Oh~~ my dear, are you planning a surprise for me?"
