Ace Hollywood

In addition to the annoying "Change Daniel" event, "The Immortal Gardener" had only won the Giovanni Outstanding Film Award at the Venice Film Festival before.

Daniel was not present, and Rachel was pregnant. After returning to the United States from Kenya, Darren Aronofsky had strict control over her travel.

It is not once or twice that the media reported the news that they had a big quarrel because of this.

In the rich Hollywood gossip material about love, marriage, and divorce, Daniel really doesn't know whether Rachel and Arrow parted ways in the end. Even if they have children, it is not easy to keep going.

Fernando's disappointment in Venice is nothing to him. Although he is highly praised, he is not an award-winning professional. On the contrary, the impact on Daniel Sandler, who did not go, was even worse. How glorious he was in Cannes with "The Pianist" back then, this time the irony of people with ulterior motives is so ugly.

That's the price you pay for standing high.

What's more, this time there is a ready-made comparison.

He gave up his role in "Brokeback Mountain" and took home a Golden Lion at this Venice Film Festival-although Daniel himself never thought of competing with "Brokeback Mountain" for awards. This breakthrough work by An Lee will basically become the most watched contestant in the entire awards season of this year. Daniel is optimistic about the quality of "The Immortal Gardener", but the original work itself is not enough to satisfy the appetite of Americans. This film is more considered from the perspective of influence. DD Films and the United Kingdom and Kenya Officially co-produced works that are used to speak out on social issues are considered part of the influence project, and cannot be compared with "Brokeback Mountain" in terms of artistic value.

But the media would not see it that way, they saw that "Brokeback Mountain" won the highest award. And "The Immortal Gardener" only has a humble "participation consolation prize", of course it produced a large report, especially because Daniel rejected "Brokeback Mountain" and chose "The Immortal Gardener", Basically, it can be included in the ranks of "stars with bad eyesight".

at this time. They would never mention the general doubts encountered by "Brokeback Mountain" and the protests of religious and conservative groups, not to mention the previous media's cynicism for Jake Gyllenhaal's choice to star in the film.

"Don't worry about it, there is no harm in hyping up the popularity. Contact a few film critics, prepare for the test screening, and see if it can be released around Thanksgiving."

Daniel shook his head. There will be more and more such things in the future, and everyone's demands on him will become higher and higher with his achievements.

"It's about this problem. It needs... well, measure it." Daniel moved his finger to one of them, and he didn't describe it as solution or treatment, because of this problem.

Not exactly a bad thing.

"Chain Saw 2" will be fully released at the end of October as a horror film. It still faced boycotts and protests because of its bloodshed.

After coming to the United States, one of the things he has become accustomed to is facing protests.

If someone protests, don't do it, then don't do anything in the United States.

The government and parliamentarians will protest, as will ordinary people.

Protests by parents are crucial to the film industry, and protests by minorities can sometimes cause trouble. They usually watch the film with a magnifying glass, and sometimes even a poster or a line will provoke repeated protests.

Besides, what environmental groups. Various groups such as animal protection organizations and the Equal Rights Alliance will also raise objections at various levels, ranging from speeches to organizing parades, and even going to court.

Faced with these objections, it is sometimes ignored if the opponent is not strong enough and the issue is not attractive enough. But in many cases, it takes time to mediate. Even a film will hire legal departments and social affairs experts to deal with these possible troubles. There will be omissions, but try to avoid them as much as possible.

This time, the protest of "Chain Saw 2" is of little concern.

The protesters were a group of mothers - certainly not as big as the National Parents Association, but a small group of mothers in New York City who believed their children were becoming violent after watching the last "Saw" , That's why I chose to speak to the media before the second film was released, asking the MPAA Parents Association to rate "Chain Saw" as -17.

Before the first part of "Chain Saw" was released, when James Wen took the film to the Sundance International Film Festival, that version was at the -17 level. Later, they slightly modified it, and the public relations department of dd Films also made it It took a lot of work to adjust to an R rating. Of course, this episode cannot be concealed from the media, so it is inevitable that it will cause some doubts.

Saw 2 was also rated R, which sparked the protests.

"There are not many protesters, and we don't need to do anything." Sally obviously didn't understand Daniel's handling opinion, "What does it mean to measure? Need to arrange to release a statement, or make public remarks?"

Daniel nodded, "Do you expect these people to watch "Chain Saw"?"

"These mothers? Of course not."

"So this is not our target group. If we plan to do something, it will not have any impact on the box office." Daniel smiled, "The company's publicists should have some ideas, you should follow up and see Let's see if they have a plan."

"You mean, take advantage of these protests?"

"Of course, why not? Isn't it the greatest compliment for a horror film to make people protest because of its horror? Those who want to experience the baptism of horror should not miss such a work at all."

Sally nodded knowingly, "I will follow up."

Daniel glanced at the document in his hand, and found that there was nothing special to consider. The promotion of "Wall-E" was about to start. This very popular cartoon has been shrouded in everyone's eyes. DD Films, or Daniel's first work in the field of animated feature films, won or lost, and there are definitely not a small number of people who care about it.

But Sebastian is a very capable person, and Anston is enough to be trusted. DD Films' publicity system has always been a strong department, and Daniel is not very worried about this aspect of work.

After clearing things up, Daniel let out a sigh of relief. During this period of time, the school, company, and studio were flying around, and the pressure on him was unprecedented.

He can still stay in Los Angeles for a day tomorrow, and he will fly back to Bataka Island early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

However, the real bad news still stopped him. (To be continued..)
