The last time David found him, it was for the male lead in "He Came Tonight", and Matthew was curious about why this time.

"David, we're old friends. Matthew looked at David, "It's okay to get straight." ”

David Hayman smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, it's still a film thing, after I came back the day before yesterday, Garringer, the head of Warner Bros. Film Division, and Charles Rowan, a producer who has worked with Warner for a long time, approached me and asked me to ask you what you mean." ”

Matthew didn't speak, waiting for David to continue.

"Yes, Charles Rowan is in charge of the project of the second "Dark Knight" of the new Batman directed by Christopher Nolan. David said as plainly as possible, "At present, the cast of Bruce Wayne's arch-nemesis Joker has not yet been decided, Warner executives have recommended you to the crew, and Charles Rowan and Christopher Nolan want to ask if you are interested in this role." ”

Matthew had heard Helen Herman say this once before, and now he heard it from David Heyman, so he didn't think it was strange, thought for a while, pointed to himself and asked, "David, do you think I'm like this, am I suitable to play the role of a clown?"

"Huh?" David didn't immediately understand what Matthew meant.

Matthew explained, "I remember that the person who played Bruce Wayne in the new Batman series was Christian Bale, right? He played Batman, and I played Joker, and this pair of old enemies didn't match at all, where is there a Joker who is stronger than Batman?"

"That's what you're talking about. David smiled, "Charles Rowan and Christopher Nolan specifically mentioned that it's still early before filming starts, and they think you have plenty of time to lose weight. ”

"Let me lose weight quickly and play the Joker?" Matthew asked deliberately, "Is that so?"

David nodded, "That's exactly what it means." Director Nolan's original words are this, you have played so many strong and strong heroic roles, don't you think that playing a physically weak villain role is a new thrill and challenge?"

If you are an ordinary actor, you may really be moved by Christopher Nolan's statement, but Matthew's thinking is very different from that of many actors.

"I'm sorry. Matthew shook his head, "I can't take on the role of the Joker." ”

Since he has been active in fitness and training, Niebola has said to him more than once that drastic weight loss and weight gain will definitely affect health, and there is no benefit to the body, in fact, there is no need for professionals to remind them, ordinary people also know such common sense, in just a few months, how can it be possible that quickly gaining or losing dozens of pounds of weight has no negative impact on people?

Maybe you don't feel it when you're young and strong, but it will show up when you're older.

He was inexplicably sent here by the hammer head that was beaten by his co-workers, and he finally got out of the way, and his future life is famous, rich, and beautiful, and he wants to enjoy it more.

As for the rumored role of being stuck in the role and unable to extricate himself, he has never been worried, everyone has a different psychological response to acting, and the mental will is also very different, anyway, he has never been unable to get rid of the role.

The only good thing about him taking on this role is probably that the actor used to have no accidents, right?

Not right either.

Matthew suddenly thought of a piece of gossip he had read, at that time he liked Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" very much, and after downloading the pirated version, he watched it more than two or three times, especially interested in the Joker, and later came out of the movie of the nervous couple of Joker and Harley Quinn, and he also searched for related news and watched it.

There is a news, out of curiosity about "Playboy", he specifically watched the interview with Director Gordon in "Playboy", Gary Oldman, who played Director Gordon, when asked about the Joker, directly said that the Australian actor caused the tragedy because he played the Joker too much into the play is the fan's wishful thinking, which is nonsense and absurd.

It can only be said that for the sake of the commercial income of the film, the film company dares to use anything to promote and hype.

However, it is impossible for him to lose dozens of pounds crazy for an actor he doesn't know to play the role of a clown.

He's not a saint.

Matthew's refusal so unhesitating was a bit unexpected by David Hayman, who had a good relationship with Charles Rowan, so he said, "Matthew, are you not thinking about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it. Matthew shook his head and said honestly, "David, there are two reasons for my refusal. ”

The other party didn't mention the salary, and he didn't mention it, "On the one hand, this role doesn't match me." On the other hand, I can't take on a crazy villain like the Joker, which is a design contract problem. ”

David wondered, not understanding what Matthew meant.

Matthew further explained, "I have a memorandum clause in my endorsement contracts with Mercedes-Benz and Armani that I can't play a villain role that could damage the image of the product. ”

He said it was true, "David, I can't break the contract for such a role, can I?"

David smiled embarrassedly, "It's that I don't understand the situation, I'll react to Warners about this." ”

Matthew nodded, "If nothing else, I'll take my leave." ”

After saying that, he stood up, David sent him out, and finally said, "When you go to London, remember to come to the crew." ”

"I will. Matthew politely said and left the Warner Building.

Out of Warner, he drove to the angel agency, the Joker in "The Dark Knight" is an absolute classic, starting from his senses, completely killing the version of Jack Nicholson in 1989's "Batman", but not any role is suitable for any actor.

Helen Herman is still endorsing men's ready-to-wear for his operation Armani, and it doesn't do him any good to play such a role.

Coming to the angel agency, Helen Herman told him the good news that part of the North American box office share of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has been paid by Sky Dance Pictures.

Now that the Fast and Furious franchise is in its early stages, he's in need of funding.

Although the preliminary operation is underway, there is still a long way to go before the project is officially prepared.

With the project confirmed, the script was first on the agenda, and Matthew and David Ellison, after considering the many screenwriters recommended by Helen Herman, Bearded Jack and Paul Walker, selected Gary Scott Thompson, who was mentioned by all three, as the first screenwriter to form a team of writers.

Gary Scott Thompson was also the screenwriter of the most successful first installment of Fast and Furious.

Like most Hollywood producers, Matthew and David Ellison believe that success is more important than new ideas.

As for the director, there is no suitable target now, but after hearing that Skydance Pictures was preparing to reboot the "Fast and Furious" series, Justin Lin, the director of the third "Tokyo Drift", took the initiative to come to the door and recommended that he continue to direct the series.

Because of "Tokyo Drift", Matthew and David Ellison have more doubts about Justin Lin and are dragging it out for the time being.

Anyway, there is not even a script outline now, so there is no need to worry about the director's choice.

Compared with the "Fast and Furious" series, the new project of Avazi Gosman as a producer is more urgent, according to what Helen Herman has learned, "He Comes Tonight" has begun preliminary preparations under the leadership of Awazi Gosman's deputy, and Warner Bros. is waiting for Matthew to sign the leading actor contract, and then set the film for next summer.

Next summer's Independence Day holiday, this is the North American release time selected by Warner Bros.

Now, Matthew has almost become a summer professional, and there will be two films related to him this summer, one is "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", which was released during the Memorial Day holiday, and the other is the live-action movie "Transformers" in which he dubbed Megatron, which premiered during this year's Independence Day holiday.

Disney Pictures and DreamWorks Studios have sent their respective promotional schedules months in advance, and Matthew can also adjust his itinerary in advance.

It's a pity that in the future "Transformers" movies, Megatron has become a rookie playing soy sauce, and he will only be abused in front of Optimus Prime, and he will not dub Megatron anymore.

It is estimated that DreamWorks will not look for him again, the first part lacks appeal, so the crew is willing to offer him an almost sky-high salary for his relatively simple dubbing work, but if the first part is a successful hit, there is no need to rub his popularity.

However, having the voice of this Megatron is enough to satisfy his "Transformers" feelings.

Rather than "Freedom and rights belong to all beings", he prefers Megatron's shouting of "Decepticons, attack!"

Megatron is destined to be tragic in Hollywood movies, not only Megatron, but all those who don't cooperate with Lao Mei are tragic in Hollywood movies.

"Peace through tyranny......"

As night fell, Matthew muttered Megatron's lines and drove alone to the Hilton Beverly Hills to meet Miranda Kerr.

Miranda Kerr returned to New York last week and just returned to Los Angeles yesterday.

In the past month or so, he and Miranda Kerr have often met and often appeared on the pages of entertainment media, as if they were a couple, but according to the agreement, the two have never admitted anything to the public.

During this time, Matthew enjoyed Miranda Kerr's maximum service, such as role-playing and some of the more open-ended games, and also dabbled in it.

Compared with the previous ones, Miranda Kerr is more open-minded and dares to think and do.

Matthew can also see that in addition to hyping up the popularity, Miranda Kerr has more thoughts, but he is not a junior brother, and there will be a moment of indulgence and enjoyment, so that the other party will become the mistress of Horner Manor, and he has not considered it at all.
