Daphne Barak Sit-Downs with Legends of Hollywood and Superstars

What

In a world where 2 ongoing wars grab headlines, and violence dominates even the US elections, Daphne Barak will open each one of her exclusive sit-down interviews with some of the biggest Hollywood stars alive in a House of Worship.

She will film at the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, showing to the worldwide audience an example of tolerance: Mutual respect towards other cultures exist here with three religions under one roof.

Barak, dressed appropriately for each, will be touring the synagogue, church, mosque. She will introduce her audience to a world they would pay attention to like they have done in the past.

The short film will be the Opening Act to the glamorous Daphne-Barak-Sit-Down with a Mega Hollywood Star, before a star-studded live audience. Her in-depth interview will explore the theme: “This Is Your Life!”

Private footage from the star’s family album, like early career days, will complement the show. Globally televised shows will also have a Surprise Guest or two make appearances.

Questions will be pre-arranged, and they may focus on “peace and understanding”. The concept of “East and West” may also be turned into a back and forth, informative and entertaining exchange.

Some VIPs may be invited to stage to pose a question, so that they can have their moment before the lights, camera, and action. For the privilege, the event can collect a meaningful donation from the participant and the brand representative, if any.

MEDIA

While stars appear around the world on a regular basis (especially musicians), Daphne
Barak brings the US and world media like nobody else.

  • Daphne Barak questions lead to HEADLINES: They become News.
  • Cross Promotion of her interviews by Broadcast and Print Media Outlets
  • Currently: US Network TVs, ITV of London, 60 Minutes of Australia
  • Primarily, The Daily Mail, The Sun, and The Sunday Times of London
  • Talk TV and GB News Radio/TV Shows of London are also in the mix
  • Major streamers are in talks for the right, with Game Changer Event Series, regarding “Daphne Barak with Legends of Hollywood and Superstars” spectacles

PRODUCTION

Barak and Gunasti are using their personal contacts and leverage, to bring some American prominent businessmen and brands to these KICK-OFF spectacles and FIGHTING4PEACE extravaganza under the context of “East Meets West”. So, it would not look like an “Abu Dhabi Production“, but a joint venture, hosted by Abu Dhabi.
  • The return on investment will be significant
  • More tourists and business from the US
  • Ending some misconceptions in the West
  • Fruitful environment to start building bridges

BUDGET

  • For the KICK-OFF events in the other two countries, we allocated between 2 and 2.5 million dollars per event, including the following:
  • Fee, up to one million dollars per star
  • Five-star accommodation and hospitality for the star and delegation in company
  • Round trip private jet 350.000 dollars
  • Production cost 500,000 dollars
  • Lawyers, insurance, and other expenses
As per Chairman Mohamad Al Mubarak’s indication to Barak, going after the likes Tom Cruise and Ryan Reynolds, Leonardo Caprio also comes to mind. We checked with them and learned that they are receptive to Barak and the “peace” theme. The budget will be adjusted according to the demands of the stars. Nevertheless, Barak and Gunasti will present the offer as a “Charitable Event” raising funds for victims.

PROMOTION OF ABU DHABI

Daphne Barak Sit-Down with Legends and Superstars is an integral part of the East Meets West Platform. The primary goal of this platform will be to promote Abu Dhabi. Spreading the message of tolerance and respect for other cultures will be one aspect. Welcoming visitors to experience them in person will be even more effective.

Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi will be the starting point. It consists of a mosque, a synagogue and a church. The interfaith complex is a new center of worship. It symbolizes Abu Dhabi’s dedication to religious tolerance. It reflects the shared values of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity in one location: The Power of Three.

Coupled with the likes of Louvre, Gugenheim, French Riviera, World Trade Center, Warner Bros., Turkish Hammam, the impact will be effective. The101 Dos of Abu Dhabi will represent the Emiratis, Arabs, and Muslims alike well before the Western audience. Altogether, they will display cultural wealth and respect.

Daphne Barak will start each show from Abu Dhabi with a short film. She will also film visiting the venues and sharing their importance. Barak will also aim to film Legends and Superstars doing the same. Audiences in North America and across the world will cherish these images. As a result, Barak’s media coverage in the West will be priceless.

East Meets West Platform plans to become impetus for the next Abu Dhabi milestone. It will build on top of a solid foundation. Holding the Kick-Off and Fighting for Peace events in the capital city of the country will have a ripple effect. The world will recognize the effort because it will be a comprehensive and a steady affair.

In that regard, Daphne Barak Sit-Downs with Legends and Superstars in Abu Dhabi will highlight an important point. Abu Dhabi aims to lead the seven Emiratis of UAE to new heights. Kick-Off events evolving into a Fighting for Peace extravaganza of three day and night will place the city and the state on the same stage with Turkiye and Qatar.

Naturally, this Platform will allow Abu Dhabi to redefine its role among the Arab League countries. Renewed media attention will make the difference. It will elevate the international stature of the city-state even more. Everyone will see better how it is the “shining city on a hill” for everyone to be proud of and take examples from.

PROMOTIONAL VALUE

There will three be varying opportunities for the sponsors promoting their brand during the Kick-Off and Fighting for Peace events. Each will have global audience appeal and local market exposure. When a Superstar of music is part of it, the promotion value will naturally increase.

Gala-Dinners will be “charitable” events. However, legends and superstars will be paid handsomely. Musicians will be paid additionally for their public performance. The participation of legends or superstars of music will mainly reflect a contribution to the “peace” process. A progressive Muslim city and state will join them in the effort.

A) Global Appeal

Daphne Barak Sit-Downs w/Hollywood Legends & Superstars

“Daphne Barak with Legends” of Hollywood and Superstars section of the live shows will start with two sets of promotional videos. One will tell the story of the Venue, highlighting the spectacular achievements of the Host City and the country. The video will also display the deeds of the leaders: How they sought “peace”.

The other will promote sponsors. The videos will be with a global audience in mind. They will appeal to the Americans. They will be in the air through broadcasts and streamers before, during and after the spectacles. They will benefit from the decades long Daphne Barak syndication in key markets worldwide.

Daphne Barak is known to make news! Her top rating and headline making exclusives will benefit the East Meets West Platform. The exclusive Fighting for Peace events will be well received in the leading media platforms in the US, the UK, Australia, Germany and dozens of others. Interviews and performances will get maximum exposure. Host Cities and Countries and Brand Sponsors will be the prime beneficiaries.

B) Local Focus:

Gala Dinners / Kick-Off Events / Fighting4Peace Extravaganza

The guests will include dignitaries, celebs, government officials, and tycoons in order to increase news and entertainment value of these dinners. Opulence and celebrity power, coupled with the exotic and sophisticated aspects of the Host City will complement the attraction of the global audience. “Angel of Peace” awards ceremony will also send a much-needed message, however, their high media profiles, specifically selected by Barak will also make a difference. Host cities and states alongside brands will benefit.

C) Additional Exposure:

Musical Performances

Daphne Barak Sit-Down with Legends may also be with a Superstars of music. Naturally, promotion of the superstar will add to the promotion of the Host City and brands. The goal is to highlight Host City, Country, and the Flag at every turn. The main message will be to show where “East Meets West”. The brands will get exposure for supporting such a delicate and one-of-a-kind rare attempt in search of “Peace”. At all times, “LET’S TALK! LET’S SHOW RESPECT AND TOLERATE” will reverberate.

PROMOTION OF TURKIYE

Daphne Barak Sit-Down with Legends and Superstars is an integral part of the “East Meets West” platform. The primary goal of this Platform will be to promote Turkiye. The emphasis will be in the correction of misperceptions in the West. For example, learning about Turkish hospitality and tolerance will effectively win the Americans over.

After that comes the focus on Istanbul. Highlighting to no end, the world’s most visited city with 20 million tourists per year, is no brainer. It displays magnanimously the spectacular growth of the modern Republic of Turkiye. The imperial city is in the consciousness of the Christian Americans.

This Platform will be most useful for the “Reintroduction of Istanbul”, especially to the Americans. This is vitally important. The West still refers to Istanbul as Constantinople more often than not. Ignorance and ill-intention aside, changing minds will come when American Legends and Superstars regularly appear on this Platform.

Here, the role Daphne Barak will play is crucial. She will convey multiple messages. Firstly, top Legends and Superstars will “Sit-Down in Istanbul” only with Barak. Potential tourists will also notice the novelty and distinctness. American Legend and Superstar sitting down with Top American Media Pro will captivate attention across the board.

To make “Sit-Downs” more “intriguing”, Barak will open each show with a short film. It will be about Barak touring venues in Istanbul. The focal point will be the rich history and culture, alongside tolerance and respect for other cultures. Turkish hospitality and humanity will be on display. Barak in her natural self will be a very important feature.

Barak’s media reach in the West is priceless. The choice of Istanbul as the Host City and Turkiye as the country will be the most pleasant surprise. Protagonists and antagonists alike will be attracted to the Platform. Nevertheless, the surprise factor will be the timing, corresponding to tense times with Israel and the war in Ukraine.

In America and Europe, the populace will be most inquisitive. Some will not be able to comprehend the enormity immediately. Others will try to snub it. Barak’s willingness to continue with the message all year in a variety of other media platforms will convince ever increasing numbers of people in North America.

For example, Barak can plug in East Meets West Platform in Istanbul during her appearances in Europe and America. Especially, her inadvertent plugs in Talk TV shows in London or in her Daily Mail cover stories, will be very effective. Barak will repeat them in America across radio talk and TV shows when she cross promotes her rating breaking US Network TV Shows.

In the rigidly divided America, access to airwaves is extremely difficult. That’s why Barak’s plug-ins about Istanbul, Turkiye, and Turks will be priceless. Crucial questions will constantly find answers. Other members of the media will repeat them only because Daphne Barak first made them. Here are some examples:

  • Why would the top American media personality like Daphne Barak of the US Network Televisions be holding these interviews in Istanbul?
  • Why are American Legends and Superstars indulging in participation when Turkiye is not an oil rich Arab country with money to burn?
  • Why now when there is an ever-increasing animosity against Turkiye in Israel, Greece, and Armenia, but also in the US Congress and in Europe?
  • Finally, why promote Istanbul when the Christian West always yearns for Constantinople, does not share values with Muslim Turks, and still resent how Turks conquered “Rome”.

In light of more than a century long tremendously effective negative campaign against Turkiye, this Platform can become the turning point.

Winning the hearts and minds of Americans with a steady stream and Istanbul based Kick-Off event campaigns will bolster the messages.

It is obvious, Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti must be in charge all throughout. The comprehensive work before, during, and after each spectacle is essential.

For example, Gunasti must provide delicate details to the Legends, and Superstars, alongside Barak. They must digest well before in order to make sense on camera.

Conveying the messages of the Turkish national leaders will also follow. Naturally, the “Istanbul Interviews” will pave the way for fruitful debates.

Understandably, the task at hand must be backed by domestic public and private sponsors from Turkiye. Friends of Turkiye abroad will also contribute.

Barak-Gunasti already made inroads both in the Middle East and in the United States of America. They will be forthcoming when Turkish ends join the effort.

Tapping into additional Hollywood celebs and Superstars, alongside Washington DC power houses, and the Tycoons of Wall Street will not lag behind. Daphne Barak will genuinely ensure it.
