Hearing Eva Green's voice taking the initiative to say hello, Matthew immediately stopped and responded with a smile, "Hello, Miss Green." ”

The corners of Eva Green's drooping mouth suddenly bloomed into a smile, "Call me Eva anyway." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, just like at the premiere of "Heavenly Dynasty", Eva Green's long bleached black hair fell down her shoulders, matched with black casual clothes, and her skin was extraordinarily fair.

He'd heard Helen Herman say before that Eva Green was actually a blonde.

However, the long dark brown and almost black hair undoubtedly matches Eva Green's appearance and temperament better.

Eva Green's eyes are too big, the corners of her eyes are drooping, the corners of her mouth are slightly drooping, and her nasolabial folds are too deep, she is different from those blonde women, if she is blonde, she will be somewhat nondescript.

Like the previous meeting, Matthew always thought that the dark-haired Eva Green had a unique appearance, and there was no similarity in beauty, and there was a beauty with evil, darkness, coldness, and mystery, just like the goblins depicted in classical classics on the other side of the Pacific.

"Is the filming of the crew in Dominica all over?" Eva Green quickly found common ground, "I heard you guys are in a lot of trouble over there." ”

Matthew smiled, "It's okay, the shooting went well." ”

Eva Green stood still in front of Matthew and continued, "I'm going to be in the crew in a few days. ”

"We seem to have a few scenes to shoot together. Matthew said as he looked at Eva Green.

Eva Green took a step forward, "Matthew, I haven't thanked you for this role. ”

She knew that the failure of "Heavenly Dynasty" almost destroyed the star road in Hollywood, and if no one supported her, the future would be very difficult.

"You're welcome, I just casually said hello to Gore Verbinski and the crew. Matthew said this deliberately lightly, as if he had done nothing.

When Eva Green heard this, she paid more attention to it, a casual hello can solve a supporting actress audition, if you say hello seriously, can it also influence the choice of the heroine?

She doesn't doubt this, the person opposite is now a first-line star in the circle, and his commercial influence is clear even to her, a Frenchman.

"Thank you. Eva Green only verbally expressed her gratitude, "Really, I'm so grateful to you." ”

Matthew said again, "Eva, you're really welcome. ”

Eva Green smiled at Matthew again and looked up the stairs behind him, "Helen is in the office, right?"

Matthew nodded, "You're looking for her?"

"Hmm. Eva Green had her own calculations in mind and said, "I came to her today for something." ”

"Then I won't delay you. Matthew was ready to take his leave, "We'll talk again when we have time." ”

Eva Green waved her hand at Matthew, "We'll have time to talk again." ”

She bypassed Matthew and went straight up to the second floor, and when she turned the stairs, she took a look at the front hall and saw that Matthew had left, standing on the top of the stairs, and did not move for a while.

For the next two days, Matthew hid in Horner Manor and did not go out, and after filming in Dominica for such a long time, he also felt tired, so he simply took advantage of the fact that he was okay for a few days to relax.

But he has just stepped into the front line now, and it is the time when he is busy with work, even if he doesn't have to shoot, there are many things to deal with.

Bella Anderson made a special trip to Horner Manor, and Matthew's current contacts with supporter organizations in major cities across the United States have been coordinated by her and Angel Agency, and these fan organizations cannot become tightly organized even if they have a top-down structure.

This is very clear to Matthew and Helen Herman, and their requirements are not complicated, that is, when needed, such as Matthew holding a big event in a certain city or a new film is released, fans can respond positively and go directly to the scene and the theater to support.

Helen Herman has analyzed specifically for Matthew that the screening mode of mainstream Hollywood commercial films in the future will become more and more extreme, and the most typical will be reflected in the first weekend box office, which may account for one-third or even half of a film's North American box office in the future, or more.

In this way, the box office of the film needs to explode in the first weekend, and the pre-sale and first-week support will become extremely critical.

According to the analysis of the six major Hollywood companies, the better the box office in the first week of the future first-line production, the higher the probability of success, and even the impact of negative word-of-mouth can be overpowered to a certain extent.

On top of that, Angels is also planning to build a more fervent group of supporters based on certain die-hard fans in Los Angeles.

Such an organization can provide support and serve as a weapon to discredit other competitors.

Subsequently, another manager company took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to act as an agent for related business.

As we all know, quite a few Hollywood stars have independent agents and managers, and the functions of the two are also different.

According to California law and industry union regulations, there can be a clear division of rights between agents and managers - agents can get jobs for artists, and their job is to get as many deals as possible for artists to get jobs; managers are responsible for designing and planning artists' careers, creating career paths for artists, and their job is to provide career counseling to their clients and provide advice and advice on career options provided to them by agents.

To put it simply, the agent provides employment opportunities to the artist, while the manager advises the artist on which opportunities they should accept.

On paper, it can be seen that there is a clear conflict of interest between the broker and the manager.

In the past, Matthew had never hired a manager, a role that he had actually shared with Helen Herman.

Of course, there are many stars who don't hire managers, and he is not the only one, for example, many stars under CAA do not have managers.

The conflict between managers and brokers is evident and has intensified in recent years, with the former even beginning to take over the latter's role and quietly seek work for clients.

Some big-name stars or directors even quit their agents after hiring managers.

As far as Matthew knows, Leonardo DiCaprio, who left CAA, did not use an agent, but completely replaced the agent with a manager, which is not in line with the California Talent Act, but is gradually becoming the norm within Hollywood.

Matthew had a detailed discussion with the people who came to him, and he neither agreed to cooperate with them, nor did he refuse, he was very happy to work with Helen Herman at the moment, and he had no plans to hire a manager for the time being, and the most important function of a manager would not be of much use to him for a long time to come.

The biggest role of the manager is to advise him on which opportunities to accept based on the actual situation.

Matthew hardly needs anyone else's advice on this.

However, having such a manager company hangs is also a kind of supervision for Helen Herman.

Matthew also needed a PR team, and he spoke directly to Helen Herman, who suggested hiring a well-established PR team in the industry.

Matthew doesn't have much of an opinion on this, and a mature PR team will be more experienced in dealing with emergencies.

After seven years of hard work, Matthew gradually climbed into the position of a Hollywood A-list star, and any A-list star basically means huge fame and high income.

Similarly, there will be many people who rely on him, a first-line star, to make a living and form a huge team.

Since he has just entered the ranks of A-listers, the team composition is relatively simple, there are no managers, the agent is Helen Herman, the lawyer Wilson has been used by the lawyer, the financial services are provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bella Anderson is a personal assistant, the publicity and public relations team is hired, and there is a stockbroker who is far away in New York to buy Apple shares for him.

In addition, there are many peripheral people who serve him.

For example, Liszt's Red Penguin Company provides housekeeping services and daily maintenance of the house, Horner Manor employs two cooks and three maids, there are three security guards at the gate of the estate who work 24 hours a day, Helen Herman also advises him to hire a reliable bodyguard, and so on.

These also require him to pay real money to pay.

Matthew discussed this with PwC's accountants, even if it didn't take into account Matthew's personal and daily living expenses, the commissions of the surrounding teams alone would use up 20% of his salary and endorsement income.

Brokers, lawyers, accountants, and PR professionals are not paid directly, but as a percentage of the relevant income.

This is one of the reasons why Matthew no longer hires managers, whose income is also in the form of commissions, which is no lower than that of agents.

Matthew once asked Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves, and found that his expenditure in this area is still relatively small, Keanu Reeves is okay, a star like Johnny Depp with a team of dozens of people, can pay more than 30% of his personal income to team members.

A star, if he wants to be famous, wants works, and wants exposure, he needs to operate, and operation is not free.

Most celebrities make a lot of money, have a lot of expenses, and have no financial acumen, and often encounter a personal financial crisis when they turn from prosperity to decline, and maybe it is the beginning of bankruptcy.

Matthew feels that he is okay, he is relatively cautious in his investments, although he spends money lavishly, he will never waste it, and most importantly, there are still a lot of Apple stocks to cover.

The holiday is fleeting, and before the holiday is over, Helen Herman arrives at Horner Manor with a special visitor.
