Chapter 561: Ace
"Thank you for your support. ”
In front of the cameras of many media reporters, Matthew signed autographs for many fans, and in addition to signing autographs, he would also exchange a few words with them, "I'm very happy that you can support me." ”
The flashing lights kept on, every reporter was actively shooting, and every fan could feel Matthew's kindness and kindness.
Christine got Matthew's autograph, and after a few words with him, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, as if Matthew was her helpful big brother.
Unlike other fans, Phyllis Beretta did not rush forward, but picked up the camera and recorded every moment of Matthew from her own angle.
She pressed the shutter, and Matthew's seriousness when signing autographs for fans was frozen in the camera; then pressed the shutter to take pictures of Matthew's cordial and natural communication with fans; and pressed the shutter again, Matthew hugged fans without hesitation......
This is Matthew Horner, this is her favorite star, this is the best man in their eyes!
"It's so pretty. Phyllis Beretta switched angles and continued to shoot, saying to herself as she shot, "No matter which angle you shoot from, Matthew looks so good!"
Women, like men, are creatures that look at their appearance.
Eventually, Phyllis Beretta took enough photos to see that there were fewer people around Matthew, so she squeezed through.
"Matthew!Matthew!" With the natural physical advantage of black people, she managed to squeeze in front of Matthew, "Can I take a picture with you?"
Hearing this, Matthew turned his head to look over and saw a typical black face, Bella Anderson had been in his bodyguard circle, and then he came a little closer, leaned into his ear, and said in an undetectable voice, "This is Phyllis Beretta, a special die-hard fan." ”
As if he hadn't heard Bella Anderson's words, Matthew reached out and took the initiative to shake Phyllis Beretta's hand, saying, "Of course." ”
Phyllis Beretta looked pleasantly surprised, and then handed the camera in her hand to Christine next to her and asked her to help take pictures.
Matthew asked Phyllis Beretta to stand beside him, first took a group photo, then looked at her and said, "I've seen you before, right?"
Phyllis Beretta was even more pleasantly surprised, nodding and saying, "yes, yes, I've been to many of your events. ”
Matthew deliberately thought for a moment before he said, "Your name is Phyllis." ”
"Yes......" Phyllis Beretta nodded mechanically, and then a huge surprise poured out from her heart, instantly spreading all over her body, and the whole person trembled with excitement, and stammered, "You...... You...... Matthew...... You...... Know ......"
Matthew smiled kindly and looked at her with soft eyes.
Seeing Matthew's smile and eyes, Phyllis Beretta calmed down a little, took several rapid breaths, and said, "You...... Matthew...... Do you know me?"
"Like you said. Matthew smiled and responded, "We've seen each other many times before, haven't we?"
Phyllis Beretta nodded excitedly, "Yes! Yes!"
The fans around him were also excited, Matthew looked at his watch, raised his voice and said loudly, "Guys, it's almost half past eight, don't let me be late, okay?"
The fans were very cooperative, quickly making way to the entrance of Warner Studios, and at the same time consciously blocking the entertainment reporters, lest they come over and disturb Matthew for work.
Watching Matthew's figure disappear into the Warner Studios, Phyllis Beretta unconsciously showed a happy smile, the recent time spent at the Warner Studios was not in vain, and finally met Matthew.
At this moment, there is nothing more happy for her.
She will always support Matthew until the day when she can't walk.
Entering the Warner Studios, Matthew turned to Bella Anderson and said, "Say hello to the security guards at the front of the studio and tell them not to embarrass these people." ”
Bella Anderson nodded and said, "The sun is a little poisonous today, do you want someone to bring them water?" I guess they'll be on guard until you get off work." ”
"Go for it. Matthew waved his hand and advised, "Remember to have someone order takeout for them at noon." ”
"I see. ”
Bella Anderson nodded first, and then said a few words to Brown Williams next to her, and immediately after Brown Williams ordered, a bodyguard stayed behind to deal with these matters.
Matthew knows very well that even if he becomes a superstar, he can't ignore his fans, these people are the foundation of his career, even if he suffers a major loss, as long as he has a large number of committed fans, it will not be difficult to turn around.
Coming to the studio where "I Am Legend" was located, Matthew went directly to the dressing room, finished his makeup and changed clothes, entered the set and waited for a while, and director Guillermo del Toro finished arranging work and walked over.
"From this afternoon, your shoot should be a little easier. Guillermo del Toro said, "You finally don't have to be alone." ”
Matthew nodded, "There are too many one-man shows, and it's really a bit torturous." ”
Guillermo del Toro pushed his eyes up, "Relax, at most by mid-March, we will be fully done." ”
"Communication over there in New York?" asked Matthew.
The crew will travel to New York next week to shoot the final exterior shots.
"Aziva will fly to New York tonight. Guillermo del Toro seemed reassured, "He communicates with a wide range of departments in New York." ”
He reminded Matthew, "Don't forget, we still have the ace of Alexandra Daddario. ”
Matthew hadn't seen Alexandra D'Addario for a long time, and he specifically asked Helen D'Adderman, who also served as Alexandra D'Addario's agent, and she sought a role for Alexandra D'Addario in the horror film project "Top Floor", and Alexandra D'Addario had been filming with the crew of "Top Floor" some time ago.
Similarly, Alexandra Daddario is also a small character in "Top Floor".
As far as he knows, Helen Herman once said to Amanda that Alexandra D'Addario wants to develop in Hollywood, and if she doesn't have particularly outstanding acting skills, she can only be limited to a very narrow acting path and limited roles.
However, Matthew didn't care about any of this at all, because Alexandra D'Addario never attracted him as an actress.
The crew was still setting up the venue, and filming would not start for a while, and after a while with Matthew and Gilmour del To**, Aziva Gosman, who was going to New York first in the evening, found the rest area where he was.
"Hi Matthew. He said hello and sat down in the chair next to Matthew.
Matthew also greeted him and asked, "Looking for me?"
If it's okay, Aziva Gosman will hardly come to him.
Aziva Gosman didn't go around the bush either, and said directly, "I heard that you and David Ellison won the rights to the Fast and Furious series, and are you ready to relaunch the series?"
"yes. The news has already spread, and Matthew has no need to deny it, "We are raising funds and making preliminary preparations." ”
He deliberately said to Aziva Gosman, "So, Aziva, you better make some concessions in negotiations, I urgently need money to invest in the sequel to "Fast and Furious." ”
"Don't look for me about this. Aziva Gosman hurriedly waved his hand and quickly changed the subject, ""He and Come Tonight" has changed its name, and the new name of the project is "Hancock, Superman for All." ”
"It's not bad, it sounds like a commercial blockbuster. Matthew pulled the subject back again, "Helen and I have agreed that you will only pay me in the form of an upfront payment, and you should make some concessions. ”
Aziva Gosman had a look of embarrassment on his face, "I'll tell you the truth, Matthew. It's not me who is leading your pay negotiations, it's Warner Bros. ”
Matthew understood what he meant and said, "I see. ”
Helen Herman has been negotiating for "He's Here Tonight," a project that has just been renamed "Superman Hancock for All," and the biggest disagreement is the payroll.
Because he needed a large amount of liquidity, he agreed not to share it later, and only get paid in the form of early salary, but Warner Bros.'s $25 million offer was a little insincere.
Negotiations between the two sides have reached an impasse and little progress has been made in recent times.
He and Helen Herman are expecting no less than $30 million and need to put a little pressure on Warner Bros.
"Look at me, I almost forgot. Aziva Gosman then said, "Matthew, I've heard you're interested in adding a number of new characters to the Reboot of the Fast and Furious series, including a Jewish female character?"
"You're very well-informed. Matthew didn't deny it, "It wasn't long before I said that. ”
Aziva Gosman waved his hand, "How can you keep it secret when you say it in front of so many people? As if he was afraid of Matthew changing the subject again, he quickened his pace and said, "An old friend of mine, a Jew...... I'm actually a Jew...... too."
Matthew nodded, probably understanding what Aziva Gosman meant, but didn't open his mouth and waited for him to continue.
"My old friend, let me help with an actress. What Aziva Gosman said was much the same as Matthew had predicted, "It was a girl from Israel, very good, a good fit for a Jewish character." ”
"So be it, Aziva. Matthew didn't shirk, after all, his work with Aziva Gosman has been good, "You asked her and her agent to submit the materials to David Ellison's Sky Dance Pictures first, the new project of "Fast and Furious" is still in the planning stage, and if the crew sets up the project, I will have someone notify her to audition." ”
This is the best way to deal with it, and then Matthew and Aziva Gossman talked a little more about "Superman Hancock for All", and after the crew set up the venue, he threw himself into filming.
The morning shooting went well, and as soon as the afternoon shooting began, Matthew ended his one-man show and ushered in another big and a small two actresses.
