The news that Will Smith and his son will star in an inspirational emotional film has attracted a lot of attention on the film page. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

As the most well-known action star in recent years, although the salary is not as good as that of Denzel Washington, his attention is comparable to that of Denzel, who is more in-depth and concise.

What's more, the movie he will star in this time is not an action movie at all, but a drama movie. It's nothing special for an action star to try to go a wider road. Many stars who are good at action movies will always try to play something different. 's film. Not to mention Tom Cruise, an action star who is not pure blood, Sylvester Stallone, who has action classics such as "Rocky" and "First Blood", also tried a crime movie two years ago. Thrillers, despite their close kinship, are distinctly different from the action films that preceded them.

For Will's decision, most of the media are approved.

But his decision to change his way of play so drastically is still very scary. Will isn't a dollar either, and the Hollywood press doesn't all have goodwill about it.

"Action superstar Will Smith turned into an investor and a father. Obviously, this time, our well-developed Will intends to impress fans with the beauty of his heart. He even brought his 7-year-old son Jaden, Maybe the sincere father-son relationship between Will and Jaden is really touching, but we always want to wonder if their relationship is not realized through fists, Jada Pinkett is said to have become a trauma care Expert." "Entertainment Weekly", a tabloid that mainly publishes nonsense and paparazzi works.

The more formal Entertainment Weekly clearly doubted Will's decision.

"Obviously, Will Smith was bewitched by Daniel Sandler, and it was a safe bet to hand his turnaround to a 'never fail' investor. But Will might be the Victim of superstition. Since Daniel officially acquired MGM and the success of "The Social Network" and "The Hangover", the rumor about Daniel has become more and more alluring - 'Daniel is It won't fail'! No sane person can believe this, this is Hollywood, how could anyone never fail, Daniel has only invested in single-digit works so far. This asserts that he will never fail , isn't it very funny?

Later this year, MGM will be officially a property of DD Pictures, at that time. They need to release at least 15 works every year, to ensure that all 15 works per year can be profitable? This joke is not funny at all. Daniel is not God, and it is impossible for God to accomplish all this. "

It's not just Daniel who sees these negative reports, of course Will Smith himself is more concerned about it all.

But luckily. Will, who has experienced a strong low ebb, knows that he should be more determined.

After Will came to the DD career to audition, he was officially confirmed as the male lead staff. In addition, Will hoped to serve as a producer.

"I hope to have more confidence in this film, which is too important to me after all. Although it can't be said to be desperate, but if we face a huge failure, I may not have a better chance to transform in a short period of time, right As for myself, whether I can still have that kind of courage. There will be doubts. So, I hope to be able to meet this requirement.”

When negotiating the agreement, Daniel agreed to this with little or no bargaining.

Will didn't ask for a cut -- he still knew something about himself, his proven box-office appeal in action films, but nothing in dramas. If it wasn't for his popularity, Daniel wouldn't be able to get him to star in person, but even so, he's not eligible to add a certain percentage of the share requirement to this 12 million basic salary contract.

Don't look at it now that Daniel treats him very politely and attaches great importance to him, if in the end he is considered ignorant. Daniel turned his face no more gentle than those sly old men.

For Will, being able to work on a film as an executive producer and making sure it's in his hands is more important than getting paid more -- after all, it's all about action and drama. It will open up a new golden mountain for him. At that time, it will not be a problem whether it is the salary or the share. As for now, this is not the time to count these things.

With the announcement of this news, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" has also become one of the latest projects of DD Pictures.

before that. In 2005, they only had plans for three works, "The Hangover", "Chainsaw 2", and "The Immortal Gardener". In 2006, only the "Chainsaw" series was announced to be launched at a frequency of one a year. So there may be "Chainsaw 3" available. In addition, DD Films and Fox cooperated to film "Night at the Museum" with an investment of only 40 million - a large part of which was used as Daniel's basic salary expenditure. The main producer of the film is still Fox, not DD Films. The same is true of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, which is still produced by Disney Studios.

In addition to the previously circulated "Black Swan" project, DD has only two clear projects in 2006, and none of them seem to be big-selling works. Considering the biopic that John Cash entrusted to Daniel, the number barely reached 3.

So within two years, it seems that the DD's kind of big fight no longer exists, at least not comparable to their acquisition of MGM.

The newly disclosed "When Happiness Comes Knocking" makes people smell the box office atmosphere that is exclusive to DD Pictures.

However, the addition of Will Smith actually affected everyone's confidence.

The Los Angeles Times described the strange phenomenon:

"Daniel may want to find an actor who is well-known enough to star in the biopic. From an age point of view, there is not much choice for him other than Will Smith, so it is understandable to make this decision. However, Compared with the brilliant record of DD Films, we don't understand why Daniel insists on casting roles under the premise of not being suitable. The two main series of DD's "Chainsaw" and "The Hangover" have used unknown actors. This tells them, and also tells us, that stars are not necessarily so important in DD's films. Perhaps it is the name of Daniel's investment. The head is already attractive enough. Perhaps DD Pictures' ability to discern the pearl is too high, and it can always find the most suitable new actor.

Either way, there are questions about Daniel's introduction of Will into the project. It's even worse than Daniel tanning himself and starring himself. "

It can only be said that this decision has sufficient news value, and the media with different viewpoints discussed it very fiercely. Before the formation of "Knock on Happiness", it has already attracted widespread attention. From this point of view alone, Will Smith is worth the price of 12 million, and most of the value of stars lies in their dissemination - the box office contributed by individual fans is really insignificant.

A user on F2F called "Hollywood Familiar" talked about this arrangement of DD Pictures in an extremely ironic tone, and criticized Daniel.

"This is just a new trick for Daniel **** to manipulate the media and public opinion. It's a pity that the self-proclaimed smart media are being played around by him without even knowing they are being manipulated. As long as we look back a little bit on Daniel's fame History, know that he has always been very good at this, River Phoenix, The Genie Affair, The Greek Wedding, etc. Behind every iconic success, there are traces of manipulation. Especially the movie "The Social Network" , brought this performance to the extreme. On the one hand, the release of the movie promoted MB's listing plan on the New York Stock Exchange, and the value of his assets in MB more than doubled in just a few months. In turn, Google and MB's and the rapid development of F2F have been used by him to hype the movie "The Social Network", making him hundreds of millions of dollars. This time, it will not be the case that Will Smith is chosen to play "When Happiness Comes Knocking" Exceptionally, when the dust settles, you'll know where his 'Never Fail' name came from."

When Daniel saw this speech, he was still very curious. This man obviously knew him very well. To know that there are not many Daniel followers who can mention River Phoenix. Although it was his first appearance in the "Los Angeles Times" and successfully sniped Joaquin Phoenix, it is still in his heart, and it is indeed an easy thing for Daniel to be interested in.

"He didn't say it right," Kusa dared, and the look on Daniel's face was definitely "pleasant." He thought about it for a while, and then he understood that this much-reported speech on F2F obviously created a credible reason for Daniel's "Invincible Legend" - a marketing expert~www.wuxiamtl.com~If It's not that Daniel knows it himself, he will definitely think that this person arranged it by himself.

Like Miramax's Oscar PR network, this so-called "marketing ability" will also become a core competitiveness of DD Films. This does not violate the rules or the law. Anyone can do it. If DD The film industry does the best and can act on the box office, which is of course the attraction of DD.

Presumably, those who are interested in this will draw similar conclusions from this speech that has been forwarded tens of thousands of times.

Kusa "tsk tsk" twice, he came to talk to Daniel about the third film of DD Pictures, or the three excluding "The Hangover", "Saw 2", "The Immortal Gardener" The third part of the film, except "Forever" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

That's an animation! (To be continued.)
