"My new project is based on DC Comics. ”

In the Angel Agency's meeting room, Aziva Gossman handed two identical comics to Matthew and Helen Herman, respectively, and said, "Like the films we've worked on in the past, this is still a story about heroes and redemption." ”

Matthew took the comic and glanced down at it, the comic was called "Hero of the West, Jonah Hax".

It's a rather unfamiliar name, and even though he has recently taken the time to make up a lot of knowledge about comic book superheroes because of his relationship with the Avengers universe and the Justice League universe, Jonah Hakes still hasn't heard of it.

Helen Herman looked over at this time, and Matthew slowly shook his head at her, indicating that he was not interested, but out of politeness, he still opened the comics and flipped through them.

The two sides have collaborated on three films in succession, and the relationship between them is also very good, Helen Herman did not refuse bluntly, but asked, "Aziva, can you know more about it?"

Aziva Gosman then said, "I am still working with Warner Bros. on this film, and I have currently confirmed two actors. Speaking of which, he looked specifically at Matthew, "Megan Fox in the lead actress and Michael Fassbender in the supporting actor." ”

Hearing the first name, Matthew didn't feel anything, this kind of typical commercial film, of course, is the home of the first vase in the universe, but Michael Fassbender played a supporting actor, which was a bit of a surprise.

But he didn't say anything.

"The director and production budget of the project have not been determined for the time being. Aziva Gosman smiled, "If Matthew plays the leading actor, it will not be difficult to get a production budget of more than $100 million." ”

Helen Herman wondered, "I'm not very familiar with the name Jonah Hax. She then asked, "Aziva, is Jonah Hax a superhero?"

"This ......," Aziva Gosman hesitated, but nodded, "yes, to be exact." Jonah Hakes also appeared in the Batman comics. ”

Helen Herman followed him up and said, "All I can say is sorry, Matthew doesn't take on superhero movies. ”

Matthew nodded, "Helen is right. ”

Aziva Gosman frowned slightly and said, "Jonah Hax is not an ordinary superhero, he has an iconoclastic, anti-hero, independent, unruly and loneric personality that other comic book heroes do not have, that is, he has an outstanding personality and unique qualities. ”

He said cautiously, "For this reason, I don't want to make the film an ordinary blockbuster, I want this "Jonah Hax" to have its own personality. I was going to design the villain in the film as a terrorist, and Jonah Hakes was like a master of counter-terrorism, and the two of them fought in this kind of wrestling. ”

"When is this film scheduled to be filmed?" asked Helen Herman again.

"It was released in the summer of 2010. Aziva Gosman thought for a moment and said, "If you shoot it, it is estimated that it will be in the first half of next year." ”

Helen Herman calmly lifted her glasses, "There is a conflict in the schedule. She hesitated for a moment and said, "There is news, which has not been made public yet, that Matthew has signed a new lead role with Warner Bros. for Christopher Nolan's new project, which conflicts with your project over the filming schedule." ”

Aziva Gosman originally wanted to drag Matthew with Warner Bros. to invest, but he didn't know such news, and couldn't help but say, "If that's ......"

Matthew duly added, "I'm sorry, Aziva, I don't want to be a comic book superhero, and I promised Christopher Nolan to be fully prepared for his new film." ”

Seeing that nothing could be done, Aziva Gossman was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said, "It's a pity. ”

Matthew looked very sincere and said, "We are all developing in this circle, and there are opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”

"Yes. Aziva Gossmann thinks so, "When there is a suitable project, we will work together." ”

He knew very well that with Matthew's current coffee position, as long as he didn't want to cooperate, no one could force him.

After chatting for a while, Aziva Gossman took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Sending off Aziva Gosman, Matthew called Michael Fassbinder, who is indeed going to star in the film and has initialled a contract with Aziwa Gosman's team.

Knowing that Aziva Gosman invited Matthew to play the leading role, Michael Fassbender specifically told Matthew to choose to start from his own needs and not be influenced by his role as a supporting actor.

Matthew told Michael Fassbender directly that he had turned down the project.

Not to mention the comic book superhero character, just because he has no impression of this film, he will not easily accept Aziva Gosman's invitation.

"It's also true that you don't have a schedule. Helen Herman said to Matthew, "You have a tight schedule, I'm negotiating with Paramount Pictures for you, and if all goes well, you can sign by September, and then you might have to shoot 'Special Forces' and then you have to do the promotion of 'Twilight.'" ”

Her voice was as flat as ever, "Next year you have to find time to prepare for "Inception", Christopher Nolan is going to Japan, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Egypt and other seven or eight countries to shoot live-action, he is a famous live-action director, you don't expect him to shoot in front of a green screen, so it is not unusual for the filming date to drag on for a long time and take more than half a year." ”

Matthew nodded, "I know." ”

Helen Herman continued, "You have to be involved in the promotion of Fast and Furious 4, and if the film achieves our lowest expected results, preparations for a sequel have to start immediately......"

Hearing this, Matthew suddenly had a big head and muttered, "I seem to have been in a lot of trouble for myself." ”

"Didn't you tell Amanda?" Helen Herman said of Matthew's bizarre theory, "without a career, there won't be a pretty actress hooking up with you." ”

Matthew shrugged, "I'm telling the truth. ”

He was able to hook up with so many women, and his status as a big Hollywood star actually played an important role.

is the most typical, Nina Dubov, who is still hooking up with him, if it weren't for the heroine Isabella Swan, she would be on call and play so many exciting tricks?

Helen Herman didn't bother to say Matthew either, she had been used to it for so many years.

"I would suggest not working with Aziva Gosman for the time being. Helen Herman turned back to work, "The quality of 'Superman Hancock' is worse than I thought, Aziva Gossman estimates ......"

She shook her head, "Let's take a look at the quality and market response of this "Hero of the West" Jonah Hakes. ”

"I understand. Matthew nodded slightly.

In some ways, he, like Helen Herman, is an extremely selfish person who doesn't risk his future.

The response of this "Superman Hancock" among fans is much worse than that of "I Am a Legend".

Matthew doesn't care much about the scores of film critics on behalf of film critics such as Rotten Tomatoes Freshness, but he still pays attention to the ratings of the market and fans and audiences.

"Superman Hancock" has an IMDB score of 7.2, a Cinema Score of "B+" for theater audiences, and a comprehensive score of 63 on MetaCritic, all of which have created the worst films he has starred in in recent years.

Of course, for a summer commercial movie, "Superman Hancock for All" is still passing, fans are still buying Matthew's account, and the Internet is full of supportive voices.

"The story is tight and the plot is novel. First, he played cool air and carried a car like a toy car, and then played rocket launch with the girl who followed him in his RV. It's a pity that he is indeed a fast gunman, and the girl is scared, happy and hateful under the excuse of going to the bathroom and slipping away......"

On social networking sites, there are too many fans who give positive reviews to "Superman Hancock for All".

In addition, Matthew's fan support sites have also been mobilized, and on-screen fans have been haunted by forums and rating sites, leaving praise for the film wherever it can be associated with "Superman Hancock for All."

The blogs or social accounts of the film critics who gave bad reviews to this film were almost swiped by fans.

"'Superman Hancock' is a commercial film, and the first thing is entertainment, and I think the homeless people on the street know this. ”

"In terms of entertainment, the box office on the first day of the film says everything, who dares to say that this is a bad movie!"

"In terms of acting, this is a commercial film, you fresh and refined film critics, what do you want to ask for in pretending to be innocent! The dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" should first think about survival or destruction before opening their mouths? Batman wears a mask to perform a set of joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and then uses this to win the Oscar? "American Pie" is mixed with discussions on social and ethical issues? In good conscience, although he did not expect to win the Oscar, Matthew's acting skills in this film are also remarkable, and the other actors also acted in the whole film in a decent manner. ”

"It's just a commercial film, what do you want? If you want to see fine art, you don't have to go to the theater? No one will force you. ”

"In terms of screenwriting and directing, this is the most brilliant place outside of the actor. When it comes to Superman or hero films, what will everyone think of, I think of a routine: the first half of the hero appears, and then the choreographer arranges various contradictions and conflicts, and finally the second half of the justice and evil PK that lasts for more than ten minutes, a bunch of special effects and explosions, and then the audience collects the bag and leaves. ”

But this completely subverted superman movie, at first glance, the movie seems to want to show a mortal superman image after subversion, but in the end, this seems to be a very sad ode to love. Or rather, the crew just did both. Again, this is a commercial film, measured by the standards of a commercial film, the plot of a movie should be like this. ”

This season, fans go into commercial chain cinemas for entertainment.

Therefore, the commercial results of "Superman Hancock" are still outstanding.
