"Wall-E" was officially released on December 23. There were four movies including it, which was released the day before Christmas Eve. Among them, "Munich" jointly launched by Universal and DreamWorks has also attracted much attention, except that its director is a top Hollywood film. In addition to the great director Spielberg, Daniel Craig also contributed a lot to the popularity of the movie. Copy site visit hp://∮, opposition to his role as James Bond continues unabated, websites, organizations, protests, appeals, etc., the activities can be described as diverse and blooming everywhere, so this kind of enthusiasm is for Universal Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I don't know. Fox's comedy "Pretending to be a Pig and Eating a Tiger" performed quite weakly. With 1853 screens, it can only be said that it is in line with its small and medium cost treatment. The theaters, and even Fox's distribution department, do not think that this movie can get better treatment. After all, not every small-budget comedy is "Greek Wedding" and "The Hangover".

On the old film, Disney's 200 million "The Chronicles of Narnia" is still performing strongly. This is also the biggest rival of "WALL-E". Although it has been released for 2 weeks, Daniel can guarantee that if "WALL-E" does not perform as expected , it "temporarily" snatched from "The Chronicles of Narnia" there will soon be back, and it may even post a few screens upside down. In addition, Weta Digital Productions, Peter Jackson's new work "King Kong" has been released for 10 days, and has been struggling under the pressure of "The Chronicles of Narnia". The box office has accumulated to 95 million, and the cost of over 200 million In comparison, it is not considered a good performance. Universal's expectations for this film are quite high. The budget of 200 million is also the film with the highest investment of Universal in recent years-unfortunately, the box office is not satisfactory. At the beginning, Peter wanted Weta Digital to participate in the investment, and even invited the film industry to join in, but was rejected by Daniel. Now we can see the effect. Weta didn't make much money from this vote, but it won't lose money. Maybe Universal Pictures up. It also depends on overseas box office and other income. Jim Carrey's "The New Money-grabbing Couple" was released in two days, and the box office was only 7.5 million. Although the market has always been cold before the Christmas holiday, this figure is indeed a bit low.

Of course, all these movies aimed at the Christmas schedule are expected to perform in the future, and the current figures will not be paid special attention to.

The Christmas holiday in the United States is actually only one to one and a half days, usually half a day on the 24th and a full day on the 25th, and it falls on Sunday this year. But many people are used to taking annual leave at this time, so the annual Christmas schedule has been formed, which has become a place for studios to compete. In addition to the purpose of the Christmas schedule, cartoons such as "Wall-E" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" are more important to the students' winter vacation. In other words, of course it is a high-quality schedule second only to the summer schedule.

"Wall-E" is on the screen with 4122 yuan, which is better than the 3742 yuan of "The Chronicles of Narnia". Take the first place in the lineup. The score of 23.16 million on the first day was far higher than that of "The Chronicles of Narnia", which was weak in stamina. The latter ranked second with 7.93 million, only 100,000 more than "King Kong". The status is shaky.

As soon as the box office came out on the first day, "Variety Show" declared that "Wall-E" became the biggest beneficiary of the annual Christmas schedule.

"……no doubt,

"WALL-E", which brings all the expectations of the animation, will become the best player in this year's Christmas schedule. Its biggest rival "The Chronicles of Narnia" was released for two weeks. When facing the impact of "Wall-E", it obviously lacked the motivation and persistence to fight. The b-score of "Wall-E" is stable at 9.3 points. Much higher than Narnia too... We should be able to pre-announce that the animation's first animated feature was a success. "

After Disney rejected all interview requests for "arriving as scheduled", it released a statement on its official website.

"We congratulate Wall-E on its first day—"

"We believe that the quality and popularity of The Chronicles of Narnia has been verified by fans and the market. It is undoubtedly a successful and sophisticated work. We would like to express our congratulations and thanks to all those who participated in this work-- "

"The Christmas holiday is still going on. We sincerely hope that fans who have not watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" can go to the cinema to watch this work. We guarantee that this work that has taken many years and invested a lot will not be inferior to any other work. You won't be disappointed—"

"Finally, I sincerely appreciate everyone's support and concern for Disney. We will uphold the tradition of Disney animation and continue to release high-quality animation."

This not-so-clear statement can easily be interpreted into various wishes. However, in Daniel’s view, Disney may not have the meaning of what the media said. Although they refused to comment on similar analysis, they just It shows that Disney's attitude is in the statement that has been issued, and will not make another statement.

"Old Iger is probably not feeling well."

Because of the release of "Wall-E", Daniel's team didn't have a holiday. Even Daniel himself, because of the vacant period this year, two ex-girlfriends and a rumored girlfriend who had a spring breeze all got married. Jessica Alba Said, no matter whether it is a partner or a wife, the past few years have been changing like a lantern, and on the one hand, men are indispensable-this is the truth, how can there be no lack of men at an age like a wolf like a tiger. On the other hand, I have always wanted to break through the current predicament. You cannot sell your face and body for a lifetime. In the rankings of various goddesses over the years, rising stars like Amanda Seyfried have gradually occupied half of the country. Jessica The half-red and not-purple status is not stable anymore, she has to find some Wall Street small business to bless her, and other similar Spanish stars, Hollywood actors, rugby team captains, etc., the rich love history is not something Daniel can believe Than.

Collins Porsch also had a romantic relationship with a young hero of the company not long ago, and the media has also paid attention to her. After all, she is Daniel's last girlfriend, especially now that Daniel is still single and empty-boat, and there is no love left after speculation. Yes, some people are willing to watch the news about Daniel losing weight because of Collins' new relationship. The news about Daniel did not come from the media, but was told by Collins himself. The gentleman was originally Collins’ assistant, and later on—because when he was Collins’ assistant, the relationship between Collins and Daniel was still alive. During the period, so her call was more or less an explanation. Daniel didn't think that Collins had put a hat on himself, and it must not have been a day or two for that man to be interested in Collins. But Collins considered whether to accept it or not after they ended their relationship and got along for so long. Daniel still has this insight. Now that their business partners have extended to their lives, Daniel is of course blessed, but he also discussed it with Collins sincerely. Both he and Collins should spend more energy on managing their relationship, otherwise even if it is Work partners, together every day, may not necessarily have a good result in the end.

As for Natalie Portman. It can only be said that history cannot be reversed. Benjamin Millepied still chased the goddess. Fortunately, he didn't know about Natalie and Daniel's sex in the film crew. Otherwise, there may be some troubles in this relationship. When Miller heard the news, his expression was quite exciting. He looked at Daniel, and was in a daze for a while before he recovered. Daniel estimated that he should be roaring in his heart: people in your circle really know how to play. Daniel didn't know much about his accident with Natalie. Was it a reason that prompted Natalie to accept Benjamin?

Out of some dark thoughts of the boss, except for leaving get off work two hours earlier on Christmas Eve, everyone voluntarily went to work in the company.

"The Endless Gardener" and "Saw 2" are still in theaters, and the box office of the former is in the millions every day. The battery life looks quite good, the total box office has exceeded 00,000, and it is doomed to be impossible for North America to exceed 100 million, and the Christmas schedule comes. It basically goes down after the first three days. But compared to investment, of course, it is still a big profit, not to mention. It performed very well in Europe and Africa, and the global box office has already exceeded 100 million. The latter has come to an end. Horror films have a short lifespan. "Chain Saw 2"'s record of 182 million in North America is enough to surpass most similar films. Although the evaluation has dropped compared to the stunning first film, but The difference is not too big, and the third part next year is still highly anticipated.

In addition to these two films, "Wall-E" was newly released, and there was a lot of work. Everyone was so busy that the Christmas schedule passed without noticing it.

When "Wall-E" officially exceeded 100 million on the 28th, the momentum was overwhelming, and when the whole Hollywood was excited about it, the whole team realized that most of the Christmas holidays have passed, and their annual leave has actually been taken. After all, the three films The release time has been determined very early, and it is not news that the end of the year is very busy. It is also a good plan to take a break early to avoid losing the holiday.

At this time, Daniel has returned to the Caribbean Sea to complete the filming of the last part of "Pirate 2". This time it will last until the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. field, but generally unlikely.

In the previously announced list of nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, it is not too surprising that Daniel was shortlisted for Best Actor in a Drama Series. In fact, this year’s Golden Globe Awards are quite stable, whether it is Russell Crowe in "The Iron Fist Man" or "Cabo Philip Hoffman of "The Special" was considered to be the hottest award season in advance. In addition, "The Immortal Gardener" was also shortlisted for the best film in the drama category, the best supporting actress and the best director. The four heavyweight nominations are second only to the seven of "Brokeback Mountain", sweeping away the decline of Venice. Re-emerging as a top seed for awards season.

Daniel’s Best Actor is still a favorite for nominations. The freezing point of the award is not much discussed. The only people are concerned about whether he can continue to be nominated for an Oscar, and see if the Golden Globe can be nominated for the Oscar Best Actor for the fourth consecutive year. Add some chips. The most likely winner is of course Philip Hoffman, who played the role in the biography of Truman Capote. A stunning appearance by an old actor is enough to win him a Golden Globe, and even the subsequent Oscar.

However, the award for best actor, whether it is a drama or a musical comedy, is not a hot topic of discussion.

Rachel Weisz's nomination for Best Supporting Actress is quite controversial. This kind of rewarding strategy is not new, but every time there are people who raise objections. So much so that the crew had to respond to the media's repeated reports, thinking that Rachel's role in the film was indeed a supporting role, and the length of time and the importance of her occupation, and there was no such thing as a supporting role, it was completely realistic. The media didn't want to kill Rachel, they just made news, and after a wave of discussions, they let it go.

"Brokeback Mountain" is the biggest topic at this year's Golden Globe Awards, there is no doubt about it. The nominations of An Li and Vivienne gave rise to the hot topic of Chinese.

"Kung Fu" by Stephen Chow, the father of nonsensical comedy in Hong Kong, and "The Promise" by Cheng Kaige, who was famous all over the world for "Farewell My Concubine", were both shortlisted for the best foreign language film. What's more, there are Vivienne's drama queen nominations and An Lee's seven nominations, showing the Chinese demeanor.

In this, Daniel did not intervene, and Harvey and Bob did a lot of tricks in it. He won the North American distribution rights of "Kung Fu" and "The Promise", hoping to use the golden ball to increase his popularity and increase the box office. Moreover, this is also part of Harvey's China strategy. This man has a very strong reputation in the Chinese film industry. There are those who hate him and those who love him, but as long as they are interested in the North American market, they can't get around him. , No way, other Hollywood power figures have no interest in Chinese movies, because they are not profitable.

This is actually the reason why Daniel has not been involved so far. Chinese films are indeed lacking in quality, or lack of works that can make North American audiences buy it. Good or bad is not a standard. As a formally released work, you must impress fans. Wallets, Chinese films currently, or even ten years later, lack this capability. However, the fate of Chinese-speaking filmmakers is very good. Fortunately, there are 1.3 billion people living on the land and culture they are rooted in, which is enough to feed them. and ability go hand in hand.

Of course, Daniel didn't intend to meddle in his own business and worry about it.

Hollywood is in turmoil, but the Caribbean Sea is peaceful. Daniel has honestly filmed here for more than 20 days, and several outpost awards are received by Fernando or Rachel. Basically, Rachel has a higher rate of awards than him. It is much bigger, so she attends a lot of awards ceremonies, and the schedule is full, so there is basically no time when it is not feasible for her to receive it on her behalf. Rachel was running around with a five-month-old belly, and Darren Aronofsky, who had broken up with her, was still talking about gossip, and was sprayed bloody by the media.

Theo Gingema, chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was himself pushed forward by Daniel, and the two have a very close relationship. So Theo put up the phone without any pressure. In the last few days, Daniel received his calls almost every day, and the topic of course was that he had to attend the awards ceremony - Golden Globes with Daniel Sandler and without Daniel. Sandler's Golden Globes are two cases, and even the Oscar organizing committee has been in contact with them, albeit very secretly. The most direct impact is the ratings. Daniel seldom participates in TV programs, talk shows and the like. Appeared, the boost to ratings was very significant. Whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, there is a lot of pressure on ratings, and it's the same for ab or nb.

So, hurry up, finally finished my personal scene on January 16, returned to Los Angeles, only stayed at home for three hours, uploaded the prepared clothes, and set off directly to the Hilton Hotel. (To be continued..)

ps: I would be very grateful if you could give me a few recommendation votes, because it is far from 20,000? Not far away!
