Of course, Kusa's purpose is not to provoke a cyber war between the United States and New Zealand, he just wants to profit from it.

So Fred took New Zealand's side without a stand, which gave New Zealanders some support for their argument, including some heavyweight Internet personalities.

The Americans - Fred and his army of vests were of course Americans - began to wonder at what the Kiwis insisted was "very much like", a Kiwi movie in the actual sense, but unmistakably classified In fact, it still belongs to Hollywood, and Americans have no xenophobia towards this movie.

Opinions are starting to develop towards whether Daniel's appearance is realistic enough.

But it's still a long time before the "Lord of the Rings" movie, even its first trailer, is released. As a result, movie fans and painting lovers began to rely on themselves, and they released the elf simulation pictures based on Daniel on the Internet. Among them, the makeup test photo in the "Los Angeles Times" was the most popular. It was a semi-finished product with no ears. , blond hair is not advanced enough, the makeup is a bit casual, people made some designs on this basis, and then added special effects - soft light, and forest background.

It came out really amazing.

"If I saw such a face in the hills and bushes of New Zealand, I think I might also think it is a real elf." Jenny of LAH can be said to be a witness to the development of the entire elf incident in the United States. The material has also been edited and used by many newspaper websites. After the figure of Daniel Elf came out, Jenny immediately posted this post on LAH's Hollywood star section. She usually doesn't post theme posts on her own section.

Daniel's heat has come up again recently, the pre-promotion of "Gladiator" has started partly, Russell Crowe has clearly increased the frequency of mentioning "Gladiator" and other related people in some recent interviews, Connie Nielsen The exposure of "Gladiator" has also increased, and even Ridley Scott has occasional news-about how difficult it is to edit "Gladiator" because every scene is so good.

Daniel's elf incident and "Gladiator" are also quickly connected.

MGM took advantage of the momentum to announce the news that Daniel joined "Legal Blonde", and they did not forget to mention "a certain percentage of the box office share".

The industry's evaluation of this is polarized-some commentators who value acting career think that Daniel is too busy making money and irresponsible for his career planning. An inspirational movie with a female theme is simply better than Billy in "Campus Blues". There is no point in Bob. If he didn't take "Gladiator", this choice is of course very good, but after shooting "Gladiator" and then "Pretty Woman", it would be too unwise.

"Young people have realized the importance of money, which is enough to make him give up the pursuit of acting."

And another group of people, including some actors and production companies, saw that the box office was divided into four words-in the last decade of the 20th century, big stars once received tens of millions of dollars in salary plus a hundred million yuan. Ten to twenty cents is another golden age of stars. But with the sharp decline in DVD sales and the decline in the number of films cast by production companies, such a good time is gone forever. Except for a very small number of actors with strong commercial value, few people can have such treatment.

Johnny Depp is the best example. He is already an A-level star, but the salary of the film he has taken has not exceeded 10 million so far. As for the share, few movies with large investment are willing to give him this treatment.

The share of small-budget movies often means reducing the pay, and whether it is earned or lost in the end-it depends on God's will.

Of course, the category of Tom Hanks can still do whatever they want-but there has only been one Tom Hanks for so many years.

Daniel gets a cut of the box office from MGM, and for him, the movie is definitely worth it as long as it does well.

At this time, many people also realized Daniel's short-term value. At this time, it should be very worthwhile to give him a not-so-high share, especially for an established company like MGM with strong promotional capabilities.

In any case, taking the elf incident as an opportunity, Daniel's popularity suddenly revived, and it is no problem to break into the top five on IMDB.

Frank Marshall - one of the producers of "The Bourne", the founder of Ablin Company, this company also has a boss, Steven Spielberg, a well-known big shot.

He agreed to meet Kusa, and this was the third time they had met.

Cusa and Philippe had a few fights over the role—rightly speaking, in this case.

If Phillips had shown in a meeting that Matt Damon's rich resume and credible box-office appeal should be the first choice for "Bourne," Cusa would have been convincing to Doug Liman and Frank, "Bourne Shadow" is not a new and creative story. The selling point of the movie is its innovation and its own intellectual charm. A popular actor who has never played a similar movie is the most suitable. Otherwise, you can hardly expect The audience will not think that Damon is Ryan at first glance, but Jason Bourne.

This makes sense to Doug. He intends to abandon some inherent characteristics and techniques in the shooting of this film.

Moreover, there is still a little trouble. The soul screenwriter of the film, Tony Gilroy, and Damon seem to be a bit at odds. Damon, who won the Oscar for screenwriting, may be a bit arrogant. His evaluation of Tony Gilroy's screenwriter is not too polite. into Tony's ear.

Although the two parties can still get along politely, it is impossible to achieve intimacy.

Before Frank arrived at the appointment, Universal's attitude had become much blurred, not as sure as before. Frank himself understands the reason for this. Daniel has been in the limelight recently, "The Talented Ripley" is still in theaters, and the box office of nearly 80 million can't make Damon overwhelm Daniel in popularity. In fact, in terms of popularity, Daniel can be said to have won a big victory. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that Daniel made investors realize his own value.

The publicity value of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" also makes people confident. Now people have planted a super curiosity about the elf prince. This series of movie giants will be released from 2001 to 2003. "If it is released in the summer of next year as planned-it can also use the two billion-dollar films before and after, just like the plan of "Legal Blonde".

Even the DVD market, the most important battlefield in the history of espionage action movies, will benefit from this.

Relatively speaking, Matt Damon's two new films, Robert Redford's "Return to Glory" are not very good, the story is old-fashioned, and Will Smith is not a popular character now, last year The just-released "Wild Wild" was a disastrous box office failure. IMDB only gave it a 4.1. Rotten Tomatoes rated more than 80% as spats, and Razzie gave the film five awards—although Will survived. It is difficult, but it can be seen how bad the movie is. Another "Ocean's Eleven" broke out among old foxes like George Clooney and heartthrob Brat Pitt, and Universal is not too optimistic.

The most important thing is that these two movies have some conflicts with "The Bourne", and they are competitors, whether it is the former's soldiers playing baseball or the latter's criminal action movies.

So, it seems that Daniel is even more valuable.
