Chapter 726: Find a Sworn Enemy

"Taylor, your goal is Madonna, right?" Matthew saw Taylor Swift acquiesce, and said, "Then move on to pop, right?"

Taylor Swift nodded slightly, "Yes." She suddenly moved closer to Matthew, leaned into his ear, and muttered softly, "Let me tell you a secret that I have never told anyone, I plan to release one or two more albums, and then move on to pop style, and the next album will also add pop elements appropriately." ”

Matthew understood that Taylor Swift had long had plans to leave the village.

Strictly speaking, she is also a typical example of fame at a young age, most stars who become famous at a young age are often dazzled by fame and fortune, but Taylor Swift looks quite sober.

If you want to be a real top diva, not a so-called Latin diva or a black diva or anything like that, pop is a must.

Matthew certainly doesn't know as much about pop as Taylor Swift, and quickly changes the subject and asks, "Where are you leaving tomorrow?"

"There are several very important shows in New York. Taylor Swift gently wrapped one finger around the blonde hair on the bubble noodle head, "And then there are some promotional announcements, I have a single on the charts right now, and I really need exposure." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Singers are much busier than actors. ”

Taylor Swift answered, "Don't worry, I'll find time to spend with you." ”

"Don't. Matthew hurriedly waved his hand, "Work is more important." ”

"That's right. Taylor Swift didn't dwell on the subject, she couldn't have let her source of inspiration go off the rails, so she asked instead, "My agent says you're a master of personal publicity, is there a way I can teach it?"

In fact, after the last time the paparazzi took a photo of spending a good night with Matthew was exposed, she instructed a lot, and it jumped into the hot search list on the Internet, but this news will become the norm in the future, and media reporters will gradually adapt to it, and she needs another breaking point.

In particular, the first world tour of the singer's career is imminent.

If Matthew can be invited as a guest at the concert, I guess the whole world will go crazy, right?

It's a pity that this guy sings so badly, hopelessly rotten.

Matthew thought for a moment, thought of Taylor Swift's promise yesterday, and said slowly, "Take care of women and children. "Taylor Swift is a smart girl, and some things don't need to be said too explicitly," and your fans, who probably have someone in urgent need of help. ”

Taylor Swift responded, indicating that he understood what Matthew meant.

"You have to pay attention to the degree of grasp of these, you have a professional publicity team, right?" Matthew saw Taylor Swift nodding, and suddenly remembered the lace news he had watched, and said, "Find some female stars or female models who are similar to you and have strong self-discipline as friends, make a group of girlfriends, go out more often if you have nothing to do, and let them collectively help you stand on the platform." ”

Hearing these words, Taylor Swift's eyes lit up, "That's a great idea." She unconsciously stood up, walked back and forth twice, and said, "I'll go back and find an agent to choose the right person." ”

"Don't look for those with bad reputations. Matthew reminded, "Otherwise, it's a negative effect." ”

Taylor Swift laughed and said, "I know. ”

Matthew looked at Taylor Swift standing in front of her, and an uncontrollable thought came to him: if Taylor Swift really formed a girlfriend group, and he maintained this unique and inspiring relationship with Taylor Swift, the future would ......

A bunch of long-legged beautiful girls like Taylor Swift......

"What do you want?" Taylor Swift said dissatisfied, "and you're still distracted when talking to me." ”

She reached out and pulled Matthew up, and Matthew stood next to her, of course, not saying what had just come to mind, and said casually, "It's a good way to promote it." ”

Taylor Swift asked curiously, "Did you think of it?"

Matthew nodded seriously and said, "I thought of it." He was still a little anxious, "In addition to the girlfriend group, there is a very good way." ”

Taylor Swift tilted her head to look at him like a little girl waiting for honey.

"Let your brokerage team pick an opponent for you. Matthew has experienced the era of Internet demons, "It's best to have the same strength as you, and there is still room for growth in the future." ”

"How?" Taylor Swift didn't quite understand.

Matthew can only say a rough idea, "On the Internet, especially social networking sites, you attack each other, but don't be too ugly and conspicuous, it is enough for people to understand who they are talking about, and then you can hype it up as a mortal enemy......"

Taylor Swift's eyebrows were raised, "Is that okay?"

"Just a suggestion. Matthew shrugged, "Specifically, you still ask your brokerage team and publicity team for advice." ”

Taylor Swift thought for a moment and said, "What you said must be a good idea, I'll discuss it with my agent tomorrow." ”

The two chatted a little more about it, went downstairs for a late-night snack, and came back to continue to be inspired, Taylor Swift's new album still lacks a lot of songs.

The next day, Taylor Swift left Horner Manor early in the morning and had Matthew send her to Los Angeles International Airport to join the agent and fly directly to New York.

Matthew came to Warner Studios to continue the filming of "Inception", and during the filming, according to Christopher Nolan's request, he once again leaned on the route of revenge.

Compared with the roles played in the past, there is basically no sunny side in Daum Cobb's lens.

Christopher Nolan was also pleased with his performance.

In fact, Matthew has gradually gained a clear understanding of his acting skills, and after years of training, it is absolutely no problem to say that it is a slightly higher level.

At the very least, he doesn't think he's worse than Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

Nowadays, many entertainment media often compare Matthew, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio, all three have in common, they are all Hollywood's top superstars, but they are not treated well by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

In media comparisons, Matthew and Leonardo DiCaprio have both walked very wide, while Johnny Depp is different, and once there is an accident in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, it won't be long before he falls from the superstar position.

This is also related to the different styles of the three people, to a certain extent, Matthew takes the sunny male tough guy route, which is related to his image, especially popular with the audience; Johnny Depp's acting skills jump back and forth between gloomy and off-line, his span is very large, but neither direction is mainstream, and his own characteristics are obvious; Leonardo is a typical academic acting skill, the kind that pays attention to one move and one style, and like Matthew, it is particularly suitable for the shaping of mainstream Hollywood characters.

Relatively speaking, he and Leonardo DiCaprio have a wide range of scenes, although he is a typical action star, but the genre of sci-fi, gunfight, military and magical epics he dabbles in has been box office hits, including "I Am Legend", a genre with almost no action scenes.

These have broadened his acting path.

If Inception can also be a big success, his future will be even wider.

Moreover, in addition to being an actor, he is also developing into the role of investor and producer, and has a very successful case like "Twilight".

The situation in Hollywood is completely different between those who have the qualifications to succeed and those who do not.

After filming the scenes in the Warner Studios studio, the crew was ready to go to Morocco for location on, but Christopher Nolan gave the crew a few days off after that, and Matthew used the time to get some other work done as soon as possible.

On behalf of Studio 13, Bella Anderson negotiated with ABC and Disney TV to license "Twilight", and Matthew took half a day to complete the licensing contract with Walt Disney.

Over the next 10 years, Walt Disney's television stations will have exclusive television rights to "Twilight" for up to $10 million to license.

Correspondingly, Disney also has the right of first refusal to purchase the TV rights of the sequel to "Twilight".

In addition, Matthew also went to Los Gatos and officially signed with Netflix.

The online rental company has obtained the online broadcast rights and rental rights of "Twilight" for the next ten years, with a total cost of up to $12 million.

In every sense of the word, this contract is very impressive.

These copyright fees, unlike the box office, can almost all be directly attributed to profits.

For a film, online screening is becoming more and more like publicity, and once it becomes popular online, offline revenue will easily exceed the box office.

The $22 million is only the authorization of North America, although the overseas region is limited to the relationship between laws and regulations, and the surrounding licensing fees in any market are difficult to reach the height of North America, but it cannot stand the size of the market.

In overseas copyright negotiations, with the exception of Western Europe, which has well-established copyright regulations, Matthew intends to entrust to intermediaries who regularly provide services to companies such as Walt Disney and Warner Bros., who are responsible for negotiating licensing.

Markets such as the other side of the Pacific Ocean, how much he can get, he doesn't expect a single market to have much gain.

"Twilight" has brought him more than $70 million in gross profits, even if he has to file taxes later, the profits are still objective.

So, Matthew also had big hopes for another teen series, "The Hunger Games" had already come up with a published script, and after he read it, he asked Patty Jenkins and Susan Collins to properly enhance the action scenes.

He also wanted the series to attract boys to the theaters.

After months of early planning for the series, Matthew settled on an $80 million production budget for The Hunger Games, based on the plan laid out by Nina Jacobson.

After all this, Matthew joined up with the crew of "Inception" and flew to Monaco, where in addition to filming, he would later follow a United Nations team on a trip to refugee camps in Africa.
