Chapter 943: I'm an Expert

In between the promotion of "The Dark Knight Rises", Christopher Nolan flew back to Los Angeles and met with Matthew, and did more communication with him about the project "Flora's Letter", according to Christopher Nolan's plan, after the release of "The Dark Knight Rise", "Flora's Letter" will begin preparations, and then strive to start filming in the first half of next year.

He really wanted Matthew to be part of the project.

Matthew was also not hypocritical, and directly said that he was very much looking forward to working with Christopher Nolan again.

The two chatted for three hours, and it can be said that they sympathized with each other.

Christopher Nolan said a lot about the idea of the work, and he and one of Jonathan's uncles, who were engineers and helped make the parts used in the Apollo spacecraft, were the same uncle who raised their brother's gaze from Earth to space.

Nolan also explained the original intention of the creation to Matthew: "When I was a child, becoming an astronaut was the noblest dream and the ultimate ambition. I miss my dedication to exploring and moving into the deepest part of the galaxy, and I hope that this time we can start a new era of 'outreach'. ”

As for physicist Kip Thorne, Hollywood has long applied his ideas to make films, and his theories influenced the 1997 sci-fi film "Chrono Contact".

Matthew also suggested to Christopher Nolan that the role of Murphy be changed from a boy to a girl, and that it was a woman who ultimately saved humanity, which is more in line with the current social situation.

Christopher Nolan has transformed into a standard commercial director since "Batman: Time to War", and it is not difficult to understand Matthew's words and immediately express his gratitude.

After a cordial and friendly meeting, Christopher Nolan left.

He won't be able to build up the crew until "The Dark Knight Rises" is released, and then Warner Bros. will have a series of negotiations with Matthew.

Except for changing the gender of Murphy's character, there will be basically no major changes to the script, and Matthew also found Kip Thorne's academic work and read it carefully, after all, this is the theoretical basis of the script.

In the words of Christopher Nolan, in the existing cognition of human beings, the universe has infinite breadth, and the human mind also has infinite depth, we cannot explore the boundaries of the universe, nor can we experience the depth of the soul, which is the eternal subject of human exploration of the objective world and subjective self.

In the script, abstract physics concepts such as relativity, time travel, wormholes, and five-dimensional space-time are all vividly expressed.

Of course, with Matthew's cultural literacy, these are too advanced sciences, and he can only understand the surface.

Fortunately, he didn't expect to be proficient in such advanced theoretical science in the past.

When he lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he used to be a scientific teenager looking up at the starry sky, but in the end he became an expert in the relationship between men and women who only wanted to look down at the hundreds of G resources on the hard drive.

Think about it now, and even more experts in the relationship between men and women, there are countless well-known women who have been soaked, and if you explain it with scientific works, maybe in the high-dimensional space, time is a line, you can see it, but you can't change it.

So, in a big circle, he once again became an expert in the relationship between men and women, unlike before, he used to be a bystander expert, and now he is a practical expert!

To paraphrase a lofty sentence, this is the fate of the universe.

Therefore, even though Gal Gadot and Margot Robbie, who have never been able to succeed, are very attractive to him, he still has no idea of changing his original intention.

Matthew has done a self-analysis, maybe he has the possibility to change when he encounters a big event such as a hammer in the face that led to a complete street fight.

Well, this is not what he came up with on his own, but the experience of many people has taught him that between life and death decisions, people often change.

For example, Chris Kyle, he said that several near-death experiences also made him from a fanatical patriot to a veteran who decided to retire.

Unfortunately, this kind of change is difficult to happen to him.

Matthew looks back on his past and has experienced two trials of life and death, has he changed? The answer is yes.

Faced with the muzzle of the Mexican drug dealers, he, a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, bravely stood up, shook the terrorists, and finally became the winner.

Not long ago, he narrowly escaped at gunpoint by retired veteran Eddie Rolls, and when he saw Margot Robbie holding a white porcelain teacup dripping with blood, he decided that this woman was very unusual and became very interested.

These are all changes, but all the changes are not the original intention.

Maybe one more time will change completely......

As soon as the idea came to mind, Matthew himself denied it, and if he encountered this kind of thing twice in a row, would he let it happen a third time? What are you kidding?

The experience of near-death is enough once, two times it is lucky, and the third time may be hanging.

According to Kip-Thorne's space theory, maybe if you hang up and run back to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, if you wake up and find yourself still lying on the concrete ruins of the construction site, wouldn't it be a tragedy within a tragedy.

After all this in Hollywood, how did he adapt to the life of a sledgehammer?

A certain scientist once said that all crossings are for the sake of return.

Matthew admits that he is greedy for money and beauty, and does not want to engage in any return trip.

He spent most of the week working on Christopher Nolan's new script, while also finding time to go to Armani's side and order a brand new gown in preparation for Taylor Swift's celebratory party on Sunday night.

To this day, Matthew has not received any new endorsement advertisements, and the only brands he endorses are Mercedes-Benz, Armani and Rolex.

The latter two have always been the chief spokespersons, and Rolex, as his fame grew, coupled with the decline of Roger Federer's form, signed a new contract with Rolex at the end of last year and became the chief spokesperson of the entire Rolex range, and the brand endorsement fee increased to the same level as Mercedes-Benz $15 million / year.

These three brands can bring him $40 million a year.

In fact, as long as Matthew wants to, he can win more advertising endorsements, for example, there are dairy brands, car brands, insurance brands and computer brands on the other side of the Pacific who want to find him as a spokesperson, and he has contacted him more than once.

Even, the computer brand offered him an endorsement fee of 20 million US dollars / year.

But Matthew all had Helen Herman politely decline.

At his current point, if he is not short of money, he will naturally not accept advertising endorsements casually.

Not only him, but any Hollywood star with status will be cautious when receiving advertisements.

For example, the computer brand, after being rejected by him, found Taylor Swift, who is now red to purple, but was rejected by Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift's agent talked about the reason for the refusal and bluntly said: the other party is just an assembler with a brand on it, which does not match Taylor Swift's positioning.

Apple also approached Matthew, but gave up after a little contact with Helen Herman because Matthew's endorsement fee was too high.

Of course, Matthew wouldn't ask for less endorsement fees just because he is a minority shareholder of Apple, isn't that stupid?

As for the dairy brands on the other side of the Pacific, let alone over there, he will not accept any brand of dairy endorsement in the world, it is all a pit.

There are still fewer spokespersons who are killed by dairy product advertising?

Like what's I'm not born strong or something, it's too easy to recruit black.

Matthew also took time out of the week to check out the crew of "American Sniper", Clint Eastwood is still busy on the post-production of the film, and has now begun a second edit, if nothing else, all the post-production will be completed by August, in time for the September release date.

The schedule for this film, after many communications between Matthew and Warner Bros., was placed in September this year.

Originally, Warner Bros. wanted the film to be officially released in January, and before January, it would only be screened in theaters in a few cities such as New York and Los Angeles in order to qualify for the Oscars, and then watch the word-of-mouth expansion of the release, taking the route of a typical Olympic film.

The reason for this is that Clint Eastwood is a very prestigious and popular director within the academy, and has been nominated for Oscars many times before, and in 2005's "Million Dollar Baby" won an Oscar after beating the popular "The Aviator" with the support of members.

Since then, it has continued to be a good work, and it has maintained a high degree of recognition within the academy.

Films of the genre "American Sniper" not only have patriotic feelings, but also reflect on US foreign policy and war policy, close to the pulse of the times, compared with historical themes or fantasy themes, this type of theme is more in line with the appetite of the academy judges.

Warner Bros. wants to try the film at the Oscars.

But Matthew rejected this initial plan, whether "American Sniper" met Oscar's appetite, he didn't think about it, he didn't care, and he had no interest in hedging Oscar or anything like that.

It's not that he is full of self-confidence, but the actual data obtained from multiple market surveys, and his business appeal is much stronger than that of the Oscars.

Moreover, there is an extremely important date in September - September 11.

This is the most violent time period in the United States every year, from the media to the public, to denounce terrorism, for a film like "American Sniper", is there a better schedule than this?

So, "American Sniper" will be released the weekend after September 11.

In this way, Chris Kyle's continuous shooting of "terrorists" in the film will be fully supported by public opinion.

There have been countless examples in the past that the schedule of a movie is also an important condition for success or failure, and sometimes its importance even exceeds the quality of the movie.

A good movie may not have a high box office, and a bad movie may not have a bad box office.

As long as you have a little movie knowledge, you know this very well.

Then, when the weekend came, Matthew deliberately cut out his messy hair, got a neat new look, and went to Taylor Swift's party.
