"Who would have thought of the current situation?"

On the huge yacht, David Ellison sat on the top deck and said to Matthew, "A vulgar thing that everyone thought was boring has become a money-making machine in your hands." ”

Matthew watched a seagull fly away and said lightly, "It's the director and the actors who give the effort." ”

David Ellison disagreed, "The director and the actors are your choice." He couldn't help but shake his head, "People say I'm a natural winner, but you're actually a natural winner." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be a winner? It's better to be a winner than a loser." David, don't forget, we're all winners. ”

Hearing this, David Ellison smiled from ear to ear, "Yes! You're so right! We're all winners!"

The two have developed well in Hollywood, and the skydance pictures and studio 13, which they control and cross-share, have been successful in succession.

Is there any reason not to call yourself a winner?

Matthew and David Ellison have been cooperating, David Ellison holds a small stake in Studio 13, and he also holds a small stake in Sky Dance Pictures, in terms of influence in Hollywood alone, David Ellison is not as good as him, but outside the entertainment industry, he is far worse than David Ellison and the Ellison family behind him.

He has mobilized public opinion many times before, in fact, David Ellison has made a move, otherwise it would not have attracted so much attention from the business media.

His cross-stake with David Ellison is not a loss at all.

People like Matthew will not do loss-making transactions, David Ellison seems to have found his own positioning and investment method after being guided by him into Hollywood, and Skydance Pictures has invested in the "Star Trek" series, "Transformers" series, and "Mission Impossible" series in recent years, and has made a lot of money.

Not to mention the Fast & Furious series, which both sides collaborated on.

Matthew also knows that if he wants to maintain his personality, he needs allies outside the circle in addition to Hollywood, and David Ellison is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

The two sides are not only friends for many years, but each other's interests are also tightly entangled.

"The first three parts of "Twilight" made too much money, and my father was envious. David Ellison said with emotion, "The net profit of the first part is more than $70 million in all aspects, the profit of the second part is close to $120 million, and the third part has reached $150 million, and these three movies alone can make you a billionaire." ”

Matthew still says, "It's just luck." ”

David Ellison shook his head, "In just one year, you can double the income of a movie's investment, and it's a net profit, not a total income, how many people in Hollywood do it?"

He seemed to admire it very much, "This kind of investment income benefit is difficult for even my father to achieve." ”

Matthew didn't come to David Ellison today to discuss this, nor did he come to the sea to walk around, but took the initiative to change the subject and asked, "David, I heard that you invested in a film project about hunting Ben **?"

David Ellison didn't hide it either, and immediately said, "It's a project of Sony Columbia Pictures, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and Meghan introduced it to me." ”

With that, he looked at Matthew, "You're interested, too?"

Matthew shook his head slightly, "I'm not interested in the film project itself, I just heard that you had some trouble in the investment process." ”

"That's true. David Ellison said directly, "Meghan invested in a project of a director wearing sunglasses in the East, and the director's filming was delayed again and again, which caused a little problem in her funding chain, so she wanted to bring my funds into the market, originally I talked about it with Sony Columbia, but Harvey Weinstein of Weinstein Pictures suddenly intervened and wanted to steal the dominance of the project." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, he had been wanting to talk to David Ellison since he heard about it some time ago.

David Ellison added, "That fat guy is so annoying, it's not the first time he's grabbed a Skydance Pictures project, he lured Sony's group of Japanese fools in the name of Oscar, and almost got me and Megan out." ”

"It's not the first time Harvey Weinstein has done this. Matthew sighed and said, "You should have heard that the studio invested in the "Latent" and "The Hobbit" series, and he wanted to intervene to grab the investment when I negotiated it. ”

His voice turned cold, "Harvey Weinstein was once under house arrest for James Wing, if I hadn't kept an eye on it, the project "Latent" would probably have been surnamed Weinstein." ”

David Ellison nodded, "Meghan and I can provide a large amount of cash that Harvey Weinstein can't, and it's not us who will be out of the project in the end, Harvey Weinstein is too arrogant." ”

"What is this. Matthew said lightly, "Harvey Weinstein also let people seduce me into taking drugs." ”

David Ellison was taken aback, "What?"

It's not just a friend with Matthew, it's about more practical interests.

Matthew waved his hand, "Don't worry, my little movements have made me see through."

"How dare he do this!" David Ellison's eyes instantly sharpened, "Matthew, you're not going to just leave it at that, are you?"

Matthew said without hesitation, "Of course not. He looked at David Ellison, "Interested working together one more time?"

David Ellison didn't answer immediately, instead recalling a few few few occasions with Harvey Weinstein, the most recent of which was when he was fighting for Ben Hunt at Columbia headquarters, and the fat man was not your average disgusting.

What if Harvey Weinstein brings Matthew down, what about the Fast and Furious franchise? What about his dividends at Matthew's studio? Watching his best friend in Hollywood be counted on is not the Ellison family's style!

My own dad dares to slap Bill Gates, and I don't have the ability to slap Bill Gates, but it's okay to slap Harvey Weinstein, right?

And Megan, my sister must be very annoyed with that fat man, right?

Besides, such an interesting thing is very rare.

David Ellison only thought about it for two minutes before he said to Matthew, "Okay, Matthew!

Matthew laughed, the greater the force behind it, the higher the chance of success.

In the cool sea breeze, David Ellison told the others that he was not allowed on the top deck, and then talked to Matthew in a low voice until the sun was close to sea level, and then the huge yacht slowly returned to Santa Monica Yacht Harbor.

After getting off the yacht, Matthew and David Ellison said goodbye and left separately.

At the right opportunity, he will bring David Ellison into the already three-man group.

David Ellison is somewhat similar to him, he is not the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue, and they all pay attention to revenge and revenge.

When the Thanksgiving holiday came, Matthew originally wanted to ask Charlize Theron to spend Thanksgiving together, but after a phone call, he learned that South African Diamond had returned to South Africa with her daughter Amir Miller Theron, and she would not return until after New Year's at the earliest.

Thinking of the little girl, he recalled again and again, making sure that Charlize Theron had indeed not been pregnant in those years.

After Matthew confirmed it again, he also asked people to check, and it required a series of formal procedures for adoption, not that he could go to the welfare home to adopt him, and he got the news that Charlize Theron had complete procedures for adopting Amir.

There should be nothing wrong with Amir Miller Theron being adopted by Charlize Theron.

This also made Matthew breathe a sigh of relief, after all, without any psychological preparation, a daughter suddenly appeared, and anyone would not be able to accept it.

Besides, he was never prepared to be a father from beginning to end.

In case he has a child, for the sake of the child's growth, it is necessary to give them a complete family, so how can his mission be accomplished?

There are so many beautiful actresses in Hollywood who are suffering and waiting for him to save them!

How can you casually give up your original intention and mission?

Matthew could only sigh when he thought of Charlize Theron, since having a daughter, Charlize Theron's words were very clear, she was already a staunch unmarried.

After Thanksgiving, Matthew convened the main creators of the "Fast and Furious" series for a meeting, "Fast and Furious 6" will officially start preparations, start filming after the Oscars next year, and strive to end filming in the first half of the year, and release it on time in the summer of 2013.

In the face of the huge success of Fast & Furious 5, none of this is a problem.

After nearly five months of screening, "Fast and Furious 5" officially rolled off North American theaters after Thanksgiving, and the North American box office stopped at $411.5 million.

In addition, the global box office of the film has exceeded the $980 million mark, and it is working towards the goal of $1 billion.

Judging from the current screening situation in overseas regions, it is not very difficult for the box office to finally exceed $1 billion.

Matthew also officially announced a decision with David Ellison that when the filming of "Fast and Furious 7" is finished, the series will be suspended for a period of time to avoid large-scale aesthetic fatigue.

Subsequently, "Twilight 4: On the Dawn" spent its third weekend in North American theaters, and beat "The Legend of Hoover" starring Leonardo DiCaprio to complete the North American box office list for three consecutive titles with $26.7 million.

The film grossed $269.4 million at the North American box office.

Meanwhile, Twilight 4: On Dawn's global journey continues, earning $56.74 million in 75 locations this weekend.

In its three weeks of release, the film grossed $622.89 million worldwide.

"Twilight 4: On the Dawn" continues to faithfully fulfill the duty of a blockbuster.

In early December, Matthew returned to the "American Sniper" crew to shoot the non-battlefield scenes in the script in Los Angeles.
