"Our previous speculations are all in the wrong place!" Helen Herman said to Matthew, who had just arrived, standing in front of the billiards in the recreation room with a cue, "Jerry Bruckheimer took the screenwriter to the National Archives to check the materials, and it is indeed related to independence, but his new film is not about American independence, but an adventure action movie related to the Declaration of Independence!"

Matthew had picked up the club and was about to take on Helen Herman, but when he heard this, he stood at the table and didn't move, cursing a swear word that started with "F" in his heart.

He and Helen Herman always thought that Jerry Bruckheimer's new film was related to American Independence or Independence Day, and they didn't think about the Declaration of Independence at all!

Helen Herman shook her head slightly, "Jerry Bruckheimer went to the National Archives to see the Declaration of Independence." She looked at Matthew a little puzzled, knowing that this guy might not understand, and explained, "The Declaration of Independence that was signed that year is now treasured in the National Archives. ”

"That's right!" Matthew shook his head, muttering to himself, "why didn't I think about the Declaration of Independence?"

He asked Helen Herman, "Is there anything more specific?"

Helen Herman placed the club on the table and said, "I got the idea for the theme of the project, and it was probably like this, the Declaration of Independence was found to be hiding a secret treasure map, this vital document was in danger, and the hero was forced to steal the Declaration of Independence and unlock the secrets of the Templar Order's treasure. ”

She added, "This film suits us very well, it's an action-adventure genre. ”

After listening to Helen Herman's words, Matthew had only one figure in his mind - Nicolas Cage!

He had seen a film about the Declaration of Independence and the treasures of the Knights Templar, and now he tried to recall it, and he could still remember a little bit of it, and he had always thought that this project was related to American independence or Independence Day, and he didn't think about the Declaration of Independence at all.

The content of this movie is completely different from what he guessed, and it is simply the treasure hunt film played by Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Cage is very popular with fans on the other side of the Pacific, and Matthew is no exception, most of Cage's non-literary films, he has seen pirated copies on the Internet, even the outrageously bad white ghost and the like.

If he hadn't thought about the wrong direction, he would have thought of this movie called "National Treasure" a long time ago.

He remembers that he also made a second part of this movie, and the first part definitely did not fail, otherwise there would be no sequel.

Thinking of this, Matthew asked, "Has this crew been formed?"

"Nope. Helen Herman shook her head, "At present, it is still in the script writing stage, Jerry Bruckheimer has temporarily focused on the preparation of "King Arthur" because of financing difficulties, and has been busy with the work of "King Arthur" for a month. ”

Since the funding has not been resolved, it means that there is still a chance.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Helen, I have an idea. "......I mean, if we can help Jerry Bruckheimer raise money, is it possible for him to use me as the lead actor on this new project?"

"Can you bring in investment?" Helen Herman didn't believe at all.

"I mean, if ......," Matthew stressed again.

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said slowly, "If the investors you find can make up for the budget gap of Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney Pictures, and if "Pirates of the Caribbean" released next week can be a box office success, the rest will not be a problem." ”

Matthew's spirits lifted, Helen Herman continued, "You're different from other actors, you've worked with Jerry Bruckheimer, he knows you the basics, and once Pirates of the Caribbean is successful, you'll have a certain box office appeal, and if you can help Jerry Bruckheimer solve the funding problem, he has a more than 80% chance of using you as the leading actor!"

She smiled and added, "Jerry Bruckheimer likes to use the actors he's worked with, and you should be able to see that from Keira Knightley." And compared to other producers, he belongs to the category with better reputation. ”

"You can try it. Matthew muttered.

"Yes, you can try. Helen Herman folded her hands on her chest, leaned back on the table and said, "If you can pull in investment." ”

"I know a guy who is very rich. ”

Speaking of which, Matthew no longer hid it, after all, he needed the assistance of an experienced professional like Helen Herman, "He once wanted me to be the male lead in a film. ”

With that, Helen Herman immediately remembered, "You're talking about the guy who invested in Lakeview Pictures' Tales of the Night?"

"Yes. Matthew also leaned back on the table, "Neborah, as far as my coach, used to be his boxing coach, he said that this man brought a lot of money to Los Angeles to invest in the film industry, and he wanted to invest in big projects to make a lot of money, but he only invested in one film, "Tales of the Night." ”

Helen Herman understood, saying, "If you want to invest in the top six productions, you need a threshold. ”

Matthew nodded, after coming here for a few years, his knowledge has increased a lot, and a person waving a banknote and running into the investment market in a hurry, but people who lack money may not accept it.

"If I contact him...... "Matthew knows he's not qualified," "can the company be the threshold?"

Helen Herman said calmly, "As long as Pirates of the Caribbean is successful." ”

Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer already have plans to launch a sequel, just waiting for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to sell at the box office in the first week, so they will inevitably have to cooperate with Matthew and the angel agency for a long time, and the investors introduced by the angel agency will definitely consider it.

Matthew knew what to do, "I'll get in touch with him first and see what happens." ”

"Yes. Helen Herman nodded and then said, "If he does have the intention and has enough money, I will talk to him, and then Jerry Bruckheimer." ”

Matthew has no opinion on this, Helen Herman may be a little selfish, but once the negotiation is completed, the biggest beneficiary is still him, and with the agent as a buffer, no matter what the outcome of the negotiation, he and Jerry Bruckheimer have a fairly good relationship, and it will not be too affected.

He then dialed Nebora's phone and asked him to help keep an eye on Fox Sherman.

"I'll go home first. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Matthew was about to take his leave, "I asked someone from the Red Penguin Company to renovate the room. ”

"Huh?" Helen Herman wondered, "you're going to renovate your rented house?"

Matthew shook his head, "No, I'm going to dedicate a room in my home to prepare for Keira Knightley to move in." ”

Helen Herman waved his hand to his side and said nothing.

Matthew leaves Angel Brokerage and returns home, where the Red Penguin people arrive on time.

This company does the business of Hollywood, and it does not only provide special services, but also a lot of normal business.

The three workers who came over, as Matthew had requested, sorted out a room that served as a utility room, and Matthew, of course, did not tear down the door, only took what Keira Knightley said as a joke.

After tidying up the room, he went to a nearby furniture company to buy a bed and some furniture, but he couldn't get Keira Knightley to make the floor.

If Keira Knightley wanted to, Matthew wouldn't mind the two of them squeezing together, but this kind of thing always has to be like me, and it is barely interesting, although he is very tasteless and has an extremely limited moral standard, he does not bother to do things that force women.

On the third day of getting Keira Knightley's room in place, Nieborah called him and said that Fox Sherman had made an appointment to go to the gym in the afternoon to practice boxing.

After lunch, Matthew also appeared in the fitness club, he was also familiar with Fox Sherman, after meeting him, he said that he had something to talk about, and Fox Sherman followed him into the entertainment lounge on the first floor.

"Fox, the last time you came to me, you said you wanted to invest in movies. Matthew got straight to the point, "I have a project here with a production budget of over $100 million, and the profit prospects are pretty good. ”

He deliberately emphasized, "It is a first-line big project of the six major Hollywood companies!"

"Sounds great. Fox Sherman was instantly interested, but then frowned, "Before investing in Tales of the Night, I also thought about investing in projects from six major companies, but they would rather take a loan from the bank for the project due to lack of money than accept my investment. ”

He smiled helplessly, "Investing in the six major companies requires an entry threshold. ”

Matthew said directly, "My agency can work with you." ”

This is only the most preliminary contact, and there are a series of measures to be taken after the cooperation.

Fox Sherman thought for a moment and asked, "Matthew, you said that there is also a threshold for cooperation, right?"

Matthew nodded, that's for sure, if Fox Sherman didn't have the money, he wouldn't have come over specifically.

"How much money do you need? Give me a rough number. Fox Sherman asked.

"More than 10 million dollars. Matthew replied as plainly as possible.

Fox Sherman's eyes widened instantly, and then his face showed more helplessness, "I can only say I'm sorry, most of the funds in my hands are pressed on Tales of the Night, and I can't get such a large amount now, and I can't raise it in a short time." ”

He let out a long sigh, chatted with Matthew for a while, stood up and shook his head and walked away.

Matthew looked at Fox Sherman's back and scratched his head, saying that he didn't expect this to be the result.

Sitting here alone for a while, Matthew quickly figured out that Fox Sherman's funds are not as much as estimated, maybe Fox Sherman's family is rich, but there must be a ceiling on how much he can be transferred.

The original plan was very good, but there was such an accident, and Matthew could only smile helplessly.

However, he also understands that no matter how well planned things are, accidents will happen, and it is impossible for everything to develop according to his plans and ideas.

Later, Matthew took out his phone and called Helen Herman, who meant to wait until "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released.
