As Matthew said, he will definitely pursue Charlize Theron, but not now, but for a while, even if Johnny Depp is a friend, there are some things he will not say clearly, after all, it involves all aspects, and once it is circulated, it will only bring negative effects.

When the time comes, he will vigorously and publicly pursue Charlize Theron.

Due to the impact on the crew, the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was not completed until early September, nearly ten days longer than planned.

The day after the shooting, Charlize Theron flew to South Africa, where she was going to recuperate from her injuries and promote the World Cup that South Africa had just won in May.

According to Matthew's understanding, Charlize Theron has an extraordinary status and influence in South Africa.

Hollywood's entertainment industry has developed to this day, and stars are no longer as simple as actors, and superstars have an incredible influence, and they will also actively participate in some work outside of their own duties.

Matthew is not yet on the front line, and in Helen Herman's words, this area is still to be developed, but Helen Herman and Angel Agency also have plans in this area, and there are already initial contacts with the United Nations.

But if he wants to get the aura of a certain United Nations ambassador from a group of competitors, Matthew's first thing is to expand his influence.

After becoming a first-line star, you will have a huge advantage in competing for many things.

The day after "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" ended, Matthew went to Disney Studios and met Zack Schneider, who was still busy setting up the scene, in a small studio rented temporarily.

Matthew looked at the green screens all over the studio and asked, "How's the preparation?"

Zack Schneider pointed to the green in front of him and said, "It is estimated that in another five days to a week, the green screen will be fully laid out." He exhaled, "I have contacted the equipment rental company, the camera is ready to be in place, I am the cameraman, and I am ......recruiting the lighting engineer."

"That's right. "I've already spoken to the stylist, and she's agreed to be a make-up artist on an interim basis. ”

"That's great!" Zack Schneider looked stressed, "It's not easy to hire a professional makeup artist at a low price. ”

He pointed to a storage room next to the studio and said, "Some makeshift props are over there. ”

Matthew followed Zack Snyder into the storage room, and when he saw several sets of shield swords placed on the cabinet, he always felt quite familiar.

Zack Schneider seemed to see Matthew's confusion and explained, "After the filming of "Troy", the crew sold some props as scrap to a recycling company of mine, and I went to his side some time ago to look for cheap props, and when I saw them, I borrowed them temporarily. ”

"No wonder it looks familiar. Matthew muttered, walked over to a set of shield swords, removed the short sword that lay horizontally on top of the shield, skillfully played a few times, and said, "I remember, isn't this the weapon used by Achilles in Troy?"

"It should be. Zack Schneider nodded, "We're just going to shoot a few preview clips and make do with them." ”

He saw Matthew's sword playing beautifully and asked, "Is it easy to use?"

"It's ok. Matthew put away his dagger and put it back on his shield, saying, "Lighter a little." ”

With his strength, the props and weapons used by the crew for filming are simply not enough.

Matthew looked at the other weapons and asked Zack Schneider, "Is the special effects company in the later stage connected?"

Zack Schneider nodded slightly, "Digital Productions in Venice is willing to take on the business, and they have already started to build the background CG according to my composition." ”

Matthew walked around the studio with only one feeling, Zack Schneider was far more attentive to the project than he was.

"In terms of actors, I also got in touch with a couple of stuntmen. Zack Schneider then said, "Matthew, when I was shooting, I needed you to be the main character." ”

He has seen Matthew's skills and muscles, and he is definitely the most suitable actor to play Leonidas, and it is easier to impress Frank Miller and the film production company by pulling an actor like Matthew who is popular and has strong box office appeal to work together.

When it was decided to fight for the film rights of this illustration, Zack Schneider inquired that Dygate Pictures could get the film adaptation rights to "Sin City" from Frank Miller, and the Weinstein brothers played a very important role in promising Bruce Willis or a big star of his level to play the leading role from the beginning.

"I've done the work on Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Matthew gestured to Zack Schneider with a phone call, "I am needed here, you can call at any time." ”

Zack Schneider reminded, "There's going to be a costumer coming over, and you're done measuring your body before you go." ”

Matthew didn't matter much today, and said, "Yes." ”

He chatted with Zack Schneider for a while, and Zack Schneider continued to direct the workers to set up the scene, because it was only filming preview clips, a lot of work required Zack Schneider to personally supervise and even operate by himself.

Finding a place to sit down, Matthew watched Zack Schneider lead people busy, he had heard Helen Herman say before he came, Zack Schneider had contact with Frank Miller later, and it was still not going well, Frank Miller was not short of money for the time being after selling the film adaptation rights of "Sin City".

Of course, if Matthew Ken threw out tens of millions of dollars in royalties, Frank Miller would definitely sign the licensing agreement.

But it's not cost-effective, and one of the most realistic problems is that even if he joins forces with Zack Snyder, he won't have that much money.

During the time when the costume designer came, Matthew was idle and bored, and after earning Zack Schneider's consent, he came to the studio office and looked through the materials carefully prepared by Zack Schneider.

In fact, he and Zack Schneider are very clear that Frank Miller's illustration is essentially an entertainment comic, and there are many discrepancies from the records in historical materials, just like "Romance of the Gods", with King Wu as the background, and then various processing.

If you have to use historical evidence to explore the authenticity of such an entertainment comic, it is the same as discussing whether "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Gods" follow history.

There is a serious lack of history on the part of the United States, and most of Hollywood's epic themes are also from Europe.

This also has the advantage that Hollywood screenwriters, often not limited by history, can always make up nonsense, and even their own president is merciless.

For example, a movie about Lincoln that Matthew once watched actually described Lincoln as a vampire hunter, and the American Civil War was fought because of vampires.

Such a special kind of spoof entertainment is often only seen in Hollywood.

After waiting for about half an hour, the costumer came to the studio, measured the data, and talked to Matthew and Zack Schneider.

According to historical records, the Spartans did not wear clothes when they fought, but they could not do this when shooting, which directly became a restrictive ......

As Matthew remembers, Zack Snyder's point is clear, Spartan warriors should have dark red capes and tight-fitting pants.

The green screen of the scene has not yet been arranged, the costumes also need time to be designed and manufactured, and the shooting of the preview footage must have to wait for a while, and after the costume designer left, Matthew quickly took his leave and walked out of the studio.

He didn't leave the Disney studio, but went to the largest studio No. 2, had a brief exchange with the staff at the door, and entered the studio without any obstacles.

The last time Matthew came to Studio 2, it was the treasure cave where the final ending scene of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was filmed, and now the location of the treasure cave has long been demolished, and another typical Caribbean-style scene is being built.

Although the last two parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not start filming until next year, and Matthew has not even got the script so far, the two sequels of the set, adhering to the consistent style of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, have begun to set up the scene in advance before the script is fully established.

However, Matthew estimates that Jerry Bruckheimer may be limited in the future, and "King Arthur", which was released in July, gave the gold medal producer the most painful defeat since the 90s.

Because of the preparation of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" at the time, Matthew did not attend the premiere, and later found the data to look at it, and the North American box office of this epic blockbuster can only be described as miserable.

"King Arthur" only got a little more than $15 million at the box office in the first weekend, and then started low and went low, and both word-of-mouth and box office failed miserably, and now it has been released for more than ten weeks, and the North American box office has only accumulated $50 million.

What's even more terrifying is that the box office of the film has not been able to rise.

Fortunately, the overseas box office of this film is not as bad as that of North America, and it can also make Disney lose less money, and through a long period of post-production, it is not impossible to recover the cost.

But the film's box office failure has weakened the halo of success surrounding Jerry Bruckheimer, and I'm afraid Walt Disney won't be completely superstitious about him in the future.

Matthew didn't stay at Studio 2 long and left quickly.

In the days that followed, he resumed his usual study and training routine, and then received a call from Zack Schneider, whose preparations were not going very well, and the shooting was postponed for the time being.

Matthew found out that Helen Herman's estimate is very reasonable, even if he can get the film rights from Frank Miller, the film will not be released until two years later.

As the clock approached October, Matthew met Jerry Bruckheimer again to get involved in the promotion of National Treasure, and the first thing he had to do was tell the story about a dollar. 10
