Summit Entertainment accepted a recommendation from renowned producer Avazi Gosman earlier this year. ”

Without waiting for Matthew to ask, Helen Herman elaborated, "Bought Simon Kinberg's master's thesis from Columbia Film School to make a killer shootout action movie." ”

She looked at Matthew, "Haven't you been going to gun clubs a lot lately, and you've been trained in tactical maneuvers on the Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down crews. ”

"I go a lot, and my marksmanship is not bad. Matthew didn't forget to blow himself a couple of sentences first, and then asked, "Avazi Gosman?" ”

Helen Herman said simply, "A famous screenwriter and producer, the fame and status of the producer are not as good as Sean, but he can be regarded as a gold medal screenwriter in Hollywood, "Killing Hour", "Lost in Space" and "A Beautiful Mind" are all his plays, "A Beautiful Mind" also won him the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and the script of "I, Robot" to be released this summer is not actually Asimov's original work, but his changed play, but he did not sign it. ”

After listening to this, Matthew roughly understood that Avazi Gosman was a successful person in Hollywood.

According to Hollywood's credo, the works of successive successful people will have a higher chance of success and relatively less risk.

"Is there anything more specific?" asked Matthew.

Helen Herman nodded slightly and continued, "Since the middle of January, Summit Entertainment has been planning this project, Avazi Gossman will be the producer, the production budget is $100 million, and the plan is to hire well-known stars who have proven themselves in both the director and the starring role, and Avazi Gosman just negotiated the director last week, and Doug Liman, who directed "Spy Shadow", will be at the helm. ”

When Matthew heard it, on paper alone, the project was simply too reliable, with Oscar-winning and market-proven Avazy Gossman as the producer, and the director was Doug Liman, who directed the word-of-mouth and box office hit "Spy Shadow", with an expected investment of up to $100 million.

These factors can eliminate the risk of failure to the greatest extent.

"The crew has been set up and the preliminary preparations have begun. Helen Herman added, "But Avazi Gossman, Simon Kinberg and Doug Liman are still making adjustments to the script, and it is estimated that no later than June, this crew will openly recruit male and female leads." ”

Matthew looked at Helen Herman, "Open recruitment?"

Helen Herman nodded, "That's right! It's an open recruitment, the type of actor, coffee position, appeal, the box office of the starring film in the past three years, and whether it is suitable for action movies, etc., are all factors considered by the crew." ”

"It's going to be a lot of competition. Matthew came to his senses in an instant.

"Avazi Gosman had a bit of a friendship with my father, so I knew him well. Helen Herman said calmly, "The crew is openly recruiting actors, and the news will not be released until May." ”

She looked at Matthew and said, "I'll be in touch with Avazi Gosman again to see if I can get the script in advance, so we can further evaluate the risk of the project." ”

Although it is very reliable from the perspective of the composition of personnel, no one can guarantee whether the role is suitable for Matthew until he sees the script and character design.

Matthew also knows that Helen Herman is planning ahead, and if she prepares early, she will be able to be a little more sure in the future, and he has also heard Helen Herman's words, Avazi Gossman has a relationship with her father, and if he wants to compete for this role, it is also an advantage.

Helen Herman's voice sounded again, "I'll talk to you first, and I'll talk about it when I have certain news, you have time to continue to practice guns, which can also be an advantage." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I know." ”

This is an intention for the time being, after all, there is no more news except for the reliable lineup behind the scenes.

Helen Herman, as his agent, has to eliminate the projects that are too risky and inappropriate from many projects in the circle, and finally put them in the office for ventilation, which are basically more suitable for him.

Matthew is busy with work now, of course, it is impossible to choose the right one from many Hollywood crews, this is the job of the agent, eliminate those that may be rotten, and put the reliable ones in front of him for him to choose.

Of course, when an actor becomes famous, especially after he has just starred in a blockbuster work, the crew often takes the initiative to come to the door, just like Matthew received a series of invitations before.

For example, a crew invested by Royal Pictures sent an invitation, director Robert Rodriguez invited him to star in "Sin City", and after Matthew and Helen Herman discussed, he had doubts about Robert Rodriguez, a typical B-movie director, and politely declined the audition invitation.

Matthew hasn't seen the film, but he's seen "Killer Trag" and "Kill a Dawn" after coming here, and frankly, Robert Rodriguez's style is far more non-mainstream than "Dawn of the Living Dead".

Strictly speaking, although zombie movies are not mainstream commercial films, they have also formed a large-scale pop culture and are not particularly non-mainstream, but Robert Rodriguez's two films are more like the kind of low-budget mill movies of the sixties and seventies of the last century.

Especially "Deus Ex Dawn", the non-mainstream made Matthew, who watched the tape at the time, stunned, the first half of the film is a western and road movie with a clean lens, the boss Clooney and the second Quentin are a pair of crazy murderers, the pie is very similar to the pair in "Natural Born Killer", but after the film entered Mexico, it seemed to be contaminated with the local mystery and turned sharply, and it didn't give people time to adapt at all, it has become a bundle of pornography, violence, vampires, zombies, A hodgepodge of plasma, for a while and a half, there will only be a share of dismay......

After watching this movie, Matthew also sighed that fortunately Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez went to make a movie, otherwise there would be two more perverted murderers in this world.

It's true that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's movies look cool, but both Matthew and Helen Herman are certain that this doesn't fit his route, and starring in this kind of typical B-movie doesn't bring obvious benefits to his career, and if it fails, it becomes a drag, and the gains are obviously inversely proportional to the risks.

Matthew knows very well that he is just a second-tier star, and he can't make it to the street at all, and it is not yet time to choose films according to his preferences and temperament.

Later, Helen Herman discussed with Matthew some aftermath of the hype with Scarlett Johansson, which can increase the exposure exponentially in a short period of time and also cause some negative effects.

For example, Matthew's inappropriate private life and the fact that he is a playboy and other nonsense have gradually spread in the media and the Internet.

Matthew doesn't care, Hollywood does have good men, but most male stars are playboys.

At present, he has no plans to officially have a girlfriend for the time being, and if he can meet his heart in the future, he will pursue it seriously, just like he pursued Britney Spears at the beginning.

In such a chaotic circle, no one can guarantee such a thing as feelings.

Then, Helen Herman also said that she would try to invite Avazi Gossman and Doug Liman to the premiere of "Dawn of the Living Dead," a film in which Matthew has a lot of gun-shooting and zombie-beating action sequences that might impress them.

Although the specifics of Avazi Gosman's gunfight action movie will have to wait for specific news, it is not wrong to make some preparations in advance.

The reason why Helen Herman dared to do this was also out of confidence in the film.

Since the end of the Oscars, Universal Pictures has held more than five preview screenings for "Dawn of the Living Dead", including special screenings for media reporters, film critics, experts in the circle and some fans, and most of the reviews received have been positive, which can be said to be positive.

Even, the Rotten Tomatoes of "Dawn of the Living Dead" have been lifted ahead of schedule, and among the 46 early film reviews collected by the website, the praise rate has reached 79 percent, the average score is 7.5 points, and the attention popcorn index has also reached 80 percent.

This can be regarded as a very good word-of-mouth for a non-mainstream zombie movie.

Among them, the male protagonist played by Matthew has been well received by ordinary fans who believe that it shows the survival of human adversity and the strong side of men.

Since Helen Herman invited people, of course, she had a certain amount of confidence.

Of course, Dawn of the Living Dead also has negative press.

The producer of "Dawn of the Living Dead" openly expressed his dislike for the new film after watching the test screening.

"I was involved in part of the preparation for the Zack Snyder remake, and the zombie characters in the film were moving too fast and not typical. I remember George spent a lot of time getting the supporting characters up to the level of the main character, and there were nurse zombies, baseball zombies, and a lot of clearly identifiable zombies — they weren't secondary characters anymore. But in this new film, they all exist to set off the male protagonist Matthew Horner, which has lost the greatest charm of zombie movies. ”

Indeed, the zombies in the new version of the film are no longer the kind of slow-moving characters, and they are more aggressive and dangerous.

This is also a change made according to the times, movies are always changing with the times, and they can only die if they remain the same.

In addition, George A. Romero, the soul of the Living Dead trilogy, also refused to attend this version of the premiere of Dawn of the Living Dead.

This is all bad news.

But no matter how much the old version of "Dawn of the Living Dead" looks down on the new version, the film was released on time in mid-March.
