"This barbecue is good!"

In the courtyard, Michael Fassbender's voice came, "I didn't expect Matthew to have this craft!"

Ben Foster's echo sounded, "Not bad!"

James McAvoy raised his glass to the crowd, "Cheers!"

Everyone including Liv Taylor had a drink together.

Orlando Bloom turned his head to look at the barbecue, gave a thumbs up to Matthew, who was standing in front of the barbecue, and exclaimed, "Matthew, you're a great cook!"

Matthew flipped over the grilled chicken wings and smiled back at them.

He used to grow up in the mountains, and it was common to find something to bake and eat, but the food that was baked tasted good, mainly because the chef before the Red Penguin Company did a good job of preparing it.

The chef had already taken care of everything, all he had to do was roast it and then brush it with the special sauce provided by the chef.

Roasting is not difficult for him, who used to bake things a lot.

The people in the courtyard were eating, drinking, and laughing again, and Matthew looked over there, focusing on Orlando Bloom and the female companion he brought with him, Liv Taylor, who was a little curious about Liv Taylor, after all, when he was preparing for the audition for "Almost Famous", he had seen a lot of information provided by angel agencies and knew that she was the daughter of the famous flesh and blood Beebe Bill.

The actress gave him the impression that her face was particularly long and her body was particularly strong, comparable to Yelena Boyar, and Orlando Bloom next to her was slender and slimmer.

Matthew really couldn't understand why Peter Jackson chose her to play Arwen, after all, in Tolkien's description, elves are very slender and slender regardless of gender, such as Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings".

Flipping the chicken wings, Michael Fassbender came over to get some fruit, and Ben Foster took some raw vegetables, saying that he liked to eat them raw......

Subsequently, Orlando Bloom also came over.

"Do you want me to help?" he shoved Matthew into a can of beer, and Matthew opened it and took a sip and said, "That's it, after roasting the chicken wings and then the vegetables, it's all done." ”

Matthew put down the beer can, quickly flipped the chicken wings again, and asked casually, "Liv Taylor is your girlfriend." ”

Orlando Bloom shook her head, "No. He lowered his voice slightly, "She and I are both sober-headed, just ordinary dates." ”

This kind of thing is very common, and Matthew is not surprised, as he brushes the sauce on the chicken wings and says, "You still have time to soak women?"

He put some vegetables on the barbecue.

"How could there be no time?" Orlando Bloom didn't understand what he meant.

Matthew said with a smile, "You are red and purple now, you must have received the script and received a soft hand, and the next string of roles is waiting for you to play." ”

"How can you say such an exaggeration. Orlando Bloom said ostentatiously, "There are quite a few crew members who have sent me invitations, but unfortunately they are all small productions, and none of them have invested more than $100 million." ”

In today's Hollywood, $100 million is definitely the dividing line between the A-List project and other projects.

Matthew instantly understood that Orlando Bloom was now ambitious, and the male lead of the small production was not eye-catching at all.

However, Orlando Bloom does have such a capital now, and Legolas is so popular that even people with a more stable mentality like him can't help but envy him.

"A big $100 million project?" Matthew said deliberately, "Orlando, how many big projects of $100 million a year does Hollywood have?"

Orlando Bloom smiled, "Don't you want to prioritize the lead actor for such a big project?"

Matthew looked at the chicken wings, flipped through them quickly, and said, "Fools don't want to!" Seeing that the time was almost up, he said, "My agent and I are trying to get the lead actor in a super production from Universal Pictures with an investment of at least $150 million, but it's hard to get it." ”

Orlando Bloom heard about $150 million and immediately pricked up his ears.

Matthew was completely complaining, "My agent was in contact with Universal Pictures, and they thought that my fame was too small, I didn't have a fan base, I didn't have box office appeal, and it was too risky to use my words. ”

This project between Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures is still in the planning stage, and it has not been disclosed to the public, and few people know about it, if it weren't for his participation in Stephen Sommours's two "Mummy"-related projects and leaving a very good impression on each other, Helen Herman would not have gotten relevant information.

And in his judgment, since Stephen Sommers has leaked information to Helen Herman one after another, he may not have a plan to make him one of the candidates for the leading actor.

While flipping the chicken wings, Matthew shook his head vigorously and glanced at Orlando Bloom, if Orlando Bloom was not interested, knowing that he wanted to fight for the leading actor in this project, and if he didn't get involved, then there was nothing he could do.

Contrarily......

In fact, Matthew's strategy is very simple, there is a certain time conflict between "Van Helsing" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", and people's energy is limited, and it is not possible to get the main role at the same time.

Once these two projects are made public, they will inevitably be the focus of competition for many people in the circle, the resources in the hands of an agent and actor are limited, and in the face of fierce competition, should they disperse their resources or concentrate on attacking one of them?

It is estimated that savvy brokers will choose the latter.

Like Helen Herman, she would love Matthew to win the lead role in both projects, but she also knew that she had to focus her resources and fight for one of them before the others.

Matthew saw that the chicken wings were done, took the porcelain plate and began to put them on the plate, then put the vegetables in another large tray.

"That...... Matthew. Orlando Bloom thought for a moment, smiled and asked, "How come I haven't heard of Universal's $150 million project?"

"It's still in the secrecy phase. Matthew seems to really regard Orlando Bloom as a friend and doesn't mean to keep it a secret at all," I know, and it's because of Stephen Sommers. ”

He explained, "Stephen Sommers and Universal Pictures were ready to orchestrate a bigger fantasy adventure series because of the success of The Mummy, an action movie with a really cool male lead. ”

He deliberately emphasized the very cool male lead and action, which is Orlando Bloom's biggest strength at the moment.

Matthew sighed, "They plan to invest a minimum of $150 million......!

He shook his head again.

Orlando Bloom took Matthew's words to heart, looking at the whole of Hollywood, investing $150 million in productions, which is definitely very rare, and such an actor is really rare.

He didn't doubt Matthew's words, this kind of thing hasn't been circulated yet, it is estimated that no one pays special attention to it, go back and ask the agent to find a relationship and inquire, and it will be confirmed.

Matthew handed Orlando Bloom the tray of chicken wings, and when he was next, he picked up another plate of roasted vegetables, walked towards the table, walked a few steps, as if remembering something, turned back to Orlando Bloom and said, "This project is still in the secret stage, don't tell anyone else, or I'll be in trouble." ”

Orlando Bloom immediately assured, "You can rest assured, I won't mention anyone!"

He will definitely not say it, he will only say it if he is stupid, and if he says it, the advantage of knowing first will be gone.

The two came to the round table, Matthew put down the vegetables, sat down next to Michael Fassbinder, and said, "Everyone must not be drunk tonight!"

He pointed to a pile of bottles from James McAvoy and said, "All of this wine must be destroyed tonight, or no one will want to leave!"

"Good!" said Ben Foster, grabbing one of the bottles, "this bottle is mine!"

"Come, come, come!" said James McAvoy, "let's toast together!

Everyone coaxed, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The barbecue party lasted until half past ten in the evening, when Matthew sent off James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, who were the last to leave, and called Liszt, and the cleaning staff of the Red Penguin Company had been on standby nearby and quickly came over to put the finishing touches on it.

Matthew stood in the gateway, looking in the direction Orlando Bloom and Liv Taylor had left before, and couldn't be sure that Orlando Bloom was really interested in what he said.

No one is 100% sure of this kind of thing that wants to influence other people's future choices, but if you do it, it's better than waiting in a daze.

If he waits, even if "The Scorpion King" is successful at the box office, he doesn't think that his fame can surpass Orlando Bloom, and Legolas's bonus effect is too strong.

But she couldn't tell Helen Herman about it, otherwise she would explain it when she asked? You can't say that her intuition told him that "Van Helsing" would hit the streets, right?

Standing at the door, Matthew thought in his heart, what to do in the future, how Orlando Bloom got the little blacksmith, he didn't know at all, but I hope he likes Van Helsing, and Stephen Sommers likes him too.

Maybe I can also help him appropriately, such as introducing him to Stephen Sommers, and if you have the right opportunity, you can also say a few kind words for him in front of Stephen Sommers.

Maybe Stephen Sommers will really fall in love with him?

In less than half an hour, the Red Penguin cleaners cleaned the yard and removed all the equipment, leaving the lawn empty again.

On the other side, Liv Taylor drove Orlando Bloom's car to a stop in front of a hotel, and Orlando Bloom looked apologetic, "Sorry, Liv, I can't be with me tonight, the agent has something to do with me." ”
