After a run through the garden and woods early on Saturday morning, and after returning from washing and changing clothes, Matthew walked into the dining room, and had just sat down to have breakfast, when there was a dense sound of footsteps outside, and before the butler could come in and make a report, David Ellison, whose hair was like a bird's nest, hurried into the dining room.

"Matthew, Matthew!" he shouted as he walked, his voice visibly excited, as if he had encountered something exciting, and he couldn't talk to anyone about it, and he couldn't vent it, "I'll tell you good news!

David Ellison entered the dining room and saw Matthew eating breakfast unhurriedly, and immediately walked up to him, propped his hands on the table, and said eagerly, "Can you still have breakfast?"

Matthew put down his knife and fork and looked up at David Ellison, the super-rich second-generation had messy hair, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was red, and the line shirt under the casual suit seemed a little wrong......

"David......" Matthew pointed and said, "your shirt is worn backwards." ”

"What?" David Ellison glanced down, but didn't care, "Leave this alone......

Seeing that this guy was overly excited, and it looked like it was struggling to prop his hands on the table like this, Matthew pointed to the chair across the table and said, "Let's sit down and say, David?"

"Good! good!" David Ellison nodded busily, pulled out his chair, and sat down across from Matthew.

Matthew looked at him and roughly guessed why David Ellison came running over early in the morning, but instead of asking, he said, "Have you had breakfast? Would you like to try my Chinese breakfast?"

"Wait!" David Ellison raised his hand to stop Matthew, "Don't you say it, okay?

Regardless of whether Matthew agrees or not, he said to himself, "I stayed up from the early hours of last night to now, just to find someone to talk to, I originally wanted to call you in the middle of the night......"

"You can call your sister. Matthew chimed in.

David Ellison spread his hands helplessly, "She's off!" he continued, "Matthew, shut up first! ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Say it." ”

"Haven't you seen the box office stats yet?" asked David Ellison, seeing Matthew's calm look.

Matthew shook his head, "I've seen it." ”

David Ellison's eyes widened with excitement and asked, "Don't you feel it?"

"How do you feel?" Matthew picked up the soy milk, took a sip, and pointed at David Ellison, "Like you?"

"$38.5 million!"

Saying this number, David Ellison excitedly shot the table several times in a row, "Our movie sold $38.5 million on the first day!"

Matthew put down the cup of soy milk, "I know." ”

"Do you know what this means?" David Ellison raised his voice abruptly, stretched out a slightly trembling finger, and pointed at Matthew, "This is a single-day box office record in the history of a North American R-rated film!"

Matthew still looked calm, "I know." ”

David Ellison's voice raised again, "Did you know that this means that our movie may exceed 100 million in the first weekend of North America?"

Matthew said calmly, "I know. ”

"You...... You ......" David Ellison saw Matthew's bland appearance, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Calm down, David. Matthew made a downward gesture.

In the excitement, he asked this and said so in a row, and after saying so much, David Ellison also calmed down a little and asked, "Aren't you nervous and excited?"

Matthew shrugged slightly, "At the beginning, I was like you, and I experienced this kind of thing a lot, so I faced it calmly. ”

These words reminded David Ellison, who sighed and said, "How did I forget, you succeeded too many times and I ...... Or for the first time. ”

Matthew looked at David Ellison again, and the almost morbid excitement on his face had dissipated a lot, and asked, "Less stress, huh?"

"It's easy, it's really easy. David Ellison let out a long sigh of relief, "You don't know how stressful I've been in these two years. ”

Matthew really doesn't know, but he can think of something, the Ellison family's money is not blown by the wind, before David Ellison came to Hollywood to invest, no one had heard of him have any successful investment cases, with so much money in hand, flowing water is generally thrown into film projects, if David Ellison is not stressed, he is not human.

If he's not mistaken, David Ellison is several years younger than he is.

David Ellison leaned back in his chair and said, "From the entertainment industry to the media industry to the entire business world, how many people are waiting to see my jokes? They are expecting me to fail, and then they point at me and say, look, that's Larry Ellison's unsuccessful son." ”

Matthew didn't speak, and being a listener was the best option, but in some ways, David Ellison's situation was somewhat similar to Sofia Coppola.

"I'm Larry Ellison's son!" David Ellison continued, "I succeeded as I deserved; ”

He raised his hand and wiped his hands vigorously over his head, "And my father, he didn't say it on his lips, but he didn't like me coming to Hollywood in his heart, and he was waiting for my head to break and bleed before going back." ”

"Thank you, Matthew. David Ellison looked up at Matthew and said very sincerely, "Thank you for bringing me into this project." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly burst out laughing, "I disappointed everyone, let down everyone who was waiting to see my jokes!"

The pressure was vented with laughter.

Matthew didn't care about him, David Ellison looked like a carefree super-rich second generation, facing much more pressure and critical eyes than the average person.

To paraphrase him Sofia Coppola, who made him an Ellison.

The laughter stopped, and David Ellison calmed down and looked at Matthew, "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything since last night." ”

Matthew called the housekeeper in and asked her to inform the kitchen to prepare breakfast for David Ellison.

David Ellison gradually returned to normal, looked down at the reverse thread shirt, and said, "Am I not looking good?"

Matthew nodded earnestly, and then said, "Don't forget, who you're sitting on." ”

"You ......" David Ellison pointed at Matthew, laughed, and said, "You guy." ”

He shook his head, "I can't compare to you. ”

"It's like I don't compare who has money with you. Matthew also laughed, "David, don't compare anyone with me who is handsome, you will hurt your self-esteem." ”

David Ellison deliberately said, "You're overconfident. ”

Breakfast was delivered at this time, and Matthew changed the subject and said, "Try it, see if it suits your taste." ”

Maybe he was really hungry, David Ellison didn't answer and buried his head in eating.

After a while, he said again, "I suddenly remembered one thing, I didn't invest in "I Am Legend", it's too stupid!"

Matthew didn't answer, but remembered what he had planned at the premiere of "Flags of the Fathers".

"David......" he said slowly, "do you want to continue working with me?"

Picking up a napkin and wiping his mouth, David Ellison quickly considered Matthew's words and said, "Who wouldn't want to work with you right now?"

Matthew took advantage of this time to briefly sort out his thoughts and said, "I have a plan that may require a lot of money and the support of powerful friends like you. ”

David Ellison wasn't as impulsive as he had just shown in his words, "Tell me about it. ”

"Do you know Universal's Fast & Furious franchise?" Matthew saw David Ellison nodding and said, "A few years ago, I used to get a small role in the first part, and then I was ...... for beating the actor Vin Diesel."

David Ellison chimed in, "You beat that bald head?"

Matthew shrugged his shoulders and continued, "So, I was fired by the crew. The film was made in three films, and the last one, "Tokyo Drift", was so poor at the box office and word of mouth that Universal Pictures axed the series. ”

David Ellison understood what Matthew meant, "Are you interested in the series?"

"I think movies that mix action, drag racing and camaraderie are very marketable. Matthew said.

If these words come out of someone else's mouth, David Ellison will only scoff, is there an airplane thrill in drag racing?

But it was Matthew who said this, a person who has been successful in a row and is recognized as a very discerning person in film selection from inside and outside the circle.

Matthew didn't say until now that because of the sure success of "The Three Hundred Spartans," it was impossible for David Ellison, as the sole investor, to be unaffected.

David Ellison thought about it for a moment and asked, "Matthew, will you be in the role?"

"I want to be the producer of this series. Matthew knows the crux of the matter, "If necessary, I can jump right into the series." ”

"What do you want to do?" David Ellison had already calculated, but this involves a large investment, and it can't be arbitrary, "There is no specific plan. ”

"I don't have a specific plan yet, it's just a rough idea, and I don't know much about business. Matthew looked very sincere, "David, I need the support of a professional business person like you. ”

He didn't go around the bush and said, "My idea is that we'll get in touch with Universal Pictures later and see if we can buy the rights to this series from Universal Pictures in a joint venture and turn it into our series." ”

David Ellison suddenly said, "Matthew, you're not fit to come forward, as soon as you come forward, Universal Pictures will definitely realize that this series still has something to do in the future, and will definitely not sell it to us again." ”

He sighed, "You...... Your influence is too great now. ”

Matthew smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to cooperate." ”
