"Jerry Bruckheimer?"
Matthew thought about something earlier, Helen Herman had said that Jerry Bruckheimer was working on a big project with Walt Disney, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any news about that amusement park project?"
"Disney has agreed with Jerry Bruckheimer on this project. Unlike last time, Helen Herman clearly has the exact news, "They will be using Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride as a model to create a new pirate adventure movie, and the investment is expected to be less than $100 million." ”
"Pirate movies, huh?" Matthew asked curiously, "Pirates of the Caribbean is an attraction in Disneyland?"
He had never been to Disneyland, and it was the first time he had heard of a Pirates of the Caribbean playground in Disneyland.
"It's not just that. Helen Herman added, "Disney has long registered the brand of Pirates of the Caribbean, and if someone uses this brand to make a movie, it will infringe Disney's copyright." ”
Matthew really didn't expect that the big project of Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer in Helen Herman's mouth would be "Pirates of the Caribbean", and he could only sigh that the poor child had never been to Disneyland.
Seeing that Matthew was silent, Helen Herman thought he had an idea, and asked, "Are you worried about pirate movies?" She said directly, "Pirate movies are in decline, and "Cut Throat Island" directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Films, and this type of film is indeed very risky, but I want to remind you. Matthew, this is a project for Jerry Bruckheimer as a producer!"
"Uh, I know. "Matthew doesn't know anything about the rise and fall of Hollywood pirate films," says Jerry Bruckheimer, a gold producer, who is a guarantee of success. ”
"The projects produced by Jerry Bruckheimer have very little chance of failing. Helen Herman habitually lowered her glasses, "That's why I've been keeping an eye on his new projects." ”
It's easier to succeed when working with successful people, and that's one of Hollywood's most basic ways to avoid risk, and Matthew knows it, he asks, "Is there anything more specific?"
Helen Herman shook her head slightly, "At present, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are only confirmed to make such a film, targeting young audiences, with an investment of no less than $100 million." Nothing else is available yet, and Jerry Bruckheimer is still looking for a suitable screenwriter to write the script. ”
Matthew couldn't help but be a little curious, "You didn't even have a script to decide on the investment?"
"That's normal. Helen Herman didn't find it strange, "Many Hollywood movies have projects and only find screenwriters to write scripts, not screenwriters who write scripts and sell them everywhere." ”
"No script, no characters......" Matthew spread his hands, "what am I supposed to do?"
Helen Herman has long considered, "Since it is an entertainment movie aimed at teenagers, the characters will definitely be younger, and handsome men and beautiful women are generally standard." You don't need to do much, just make a good impression on Jerry Bruckheimer at the place where you meet him. ”
Matthew nodded slightly, "I see." ”
Helen Herman added, "You have a huge disparity in status with Jerry Bruckheimer, don't be clever and have a relationship with him, it will easily backfire." She thought for a moment and said, "I'll keep up with this project and let you know when I need to do something." ”
Matthew didn't speak, continuing to nod, and in this respect, his interests were tightly tied to Helen Herman.
"Now the filming of "Scorpion King" has been completed. Helen Herman leaned back in her chair and clasped her hands on her chest, "Matthew, you've rested long enough! Get nervous next, this is the best opportunity for us, we're targeting Disney with Jerry Bruckheimer's project, and Stephen Sommers with Universal's monster movie project, both of which are A-List projects." ”
She looked at Matthew, "The best situation is that you can get the leading actor in these two projects, and both projects are box office hits, and you can directly enter the ranks of first-line movie stars." ”
Hearing the first-line movie star, Matthew was also extremely moved, but then he came to his senses, this is just the best imaginable situation, and it is too difficult to achieve.
Nine out of ten of Stephen Sommers' monster film projects with Universal Pictures are "Van Helsing," and this film will change because of his participation? Matthew doesn't think so, even if he can participate in this film, he is just an actor, and an ordinary actor can't change such a big project.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it can affect Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures, how should he influence it? How can he change this film?
Even if he becomes the producer of the crew, do you know what to do?
Therefore, the male protagonist of this film is very likely to be a pit for him, and it is best to push it off.
As for "Pirates of the Caribbean", the fact that this series can continue to be filmed and Johnny Depp has become a top Hollywood superstar is enough to say a lot.
But Matthew was not confident, that sissy pirate was not suitable for him, a very strong and tough man to play this type of role, and he couldn't think of a second possibility except failure.
And then there's the little blacksmith, this role is no problem in terms of image, after all, a blacksmith who strikes iron should be a strong man with strong muscles,
However, it seems that there is not much hope.
As soon as the "Lord of the Rings" series was released, Orlando Bloom became directly popular through half the sky and steadily entered the second line.
Helen Herman simply chose two of the toughest tasks, one of which was still untouchable.
Fortunately, Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures may not choose him, even if "The Scorpion King" is successful at the box office, he is not as good as Wolverine.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" can be tried for a try, and if it fails, there is nothing to lose, but what if it succeeds? After all, Helen Herman is still a very resourceful agent.
Sitting in the office, Matthew's head was running rapidly, and suddenly thought of another question, if you want to become a coffee coffee, you must have a box office hit film, this kind of film often has a lot of investment, and high-cost movies, which protagonist is not fat? Isn't it stared at by a pack of wolves?
If you want to eat this piece of fat, you have to stand out from the wolves.
Pirates of the Caribbean needs competition, but don't other big projects?
He talked to Helen Herman until near noon before Matthew left the angel agency, but the thought of competing for the lead in a film project that didn't even have a script and a role was a bit too big.
But on second thought, this is precisely his advantage, because he knows that there are three protagonists in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and although he can't remember the specific names, he also generally knows that they are the sissy pirate captain, the little blacksmith and the flat-chested heroine.
One of the most suitable men for his type is the little blacksmith, and the British accent of this role is also to say, he took accent classes at the Los Angeles acting school, one of which is to learn the so-called London accent, and if he is sure to compete for this role, he can practice again.
The biggest problem is still fame, without the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Legolas......
Matthew shook his head, this is obviously impossible, the first installment of this series will be released next month.
Driving his own car, he didn't think much about it, since the opportunity appeared, he had to fight.
Leaving Angel Agency, Matthew went straight to the Los Angeles School of Performing Arts and found David Astor to ask him to help find a great British accent teacher to hire with a hefty investment.
This is not only for the present, but also for the future, many Hollywood movies will use the British accent, such as the trailer of "The Lord of the Rings" that has been released, all the main characters have a British accent.
Matthew is well aware that this is to increase his own competitive capital, not a waste of resources.
Then he went to the fitness club, found Nebora, and asked him if he knew a fencing coach related to the film industry, although Matthew had practiced fencing under the guidance of action director Tim Madsen before filming "The Scorpion King", but this kind of fencing is very different from European-style fencing.
And he vaguely remembered that the action design in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was different from the realistic action scenes in "The Scorpion King", which was more fancy and beautiful.
All of what he has done is conducive to competing for this role in the future.
Matthew didn't know whether it was better to use the prophet first, or the stupid bird to fly first.
David Astor helped him connect with an accent teacher as quickly as possible, and he would teach him the practice of the British accent as soon as possible.
At the fitness club, Niebola also promised to help him connect with a fencing coach with experience in teaching actors, and he was quickly there.
Matthew is using the little advantage he has to prepare, and the skills he practices will definitely be beneficial in the future.
This cost a lot of money, but fortunately now he is not short of money.
The crew of "The Scorpion King" has paid all the $500,000 in salary, and Matthew has a large amount of money in his hands, so there is no problem in paying for this expense.
Time passed quickly in practicing the British dialect and fencing, and in December, he temporarily put aside other things at hand and went to the crew of "Black Hawk Down" to report and prepare to participate in several promotional activities such as the media preview and screening of "Black Hawk Down" in Los Angeles.
Sony Columbia Pictures has set its sights on next year's Oscars, so the release date of the film has been pushed back to January next year, but it will be screened in five theaters in Los Angeles in December in order to get the most basic Oscar tickets.
All the test screenings, screenings and other aspects of promotion, the crew and Sony Columbia Pictures are all operating around the Oscars.
Matthew signed a contract with the crew and was obliged to cooperate with the promotion of the film, and the first preview screening he attended saw many familiar faces who participated in the filming together. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
