Back in Los Angeles, Matthew immediately put aside the events on the other side of the Pacific and turned to the pre-release promotion of the last days of "Fast and Furious 4", which has recently taken full advantage of the public opinion generated by the shooting incident to make a full deal of publicity for "Fast and Furious 4".

There are multiple different versions of the live video, and it doesn't take much ink to do so, and Matthew has become an iron-blooded man like the hero of the movie in the eyes of the public.

On the day he returned, Matthew heard Bella Anderson mention that Studio 13's public mailbox had received countless letters asking for a relationship, most of them were women, a few were men, and there was no shortage of players like the Wachowski siblings.

Matthew left all these things to the people in the studio, and selected some women's letters to reply to, and ignored men and women and the like.

Also, to Matthew's surprise, he also received some challenges like professional wrestling and kickboxing, which he naturally wouldn't respond to.

There are many people who are popular, and this is more than just talking.

Those so-called challengers are just using him to gain attention.

If someone really wants to come to the door to challenge, he can compare, he conducts comprehensive combat training similar to that of soldiers, just like those who engage in professional wrestling to compare marksmanship, free fighting to compare swordsmanship, boxing to compete with cars......

Also, who is more handsome than these so-called challengers!

Absolutely kill them all.

Of course, the best way to do this is to ignore them.

With his current status, even if someone openly challenges, he doesn't have to respond, because the gap between the two sides is too big, and a homeless man wants to be richer than a billionaire, and a billionaire needs to be ignored?

The aftermath of the shooting has not gone away until now, and "Fast and Furious 4" has benefited so much that by the day before its North American premiere, the film had already exceeded $40 million at the advance box office.

No one doubts that the North American box office of "Fast and Furious 4" exceeded 100 million, but Matthew is most worried about the box office trend in the later period.

The fiery publicity campaign and huge topicality drove most fans to the theater in the first weekend, and a big drop in the next week was inevitable.

He wouldn't be so confident that this kind of film would maintain a steady box office trend.

Not to mention this kind of pure popcorn action movie, even "The Dark Knight", which is regarded as a classic by countless people, also has a large second-week decline.

If "Fast and Furious 4" can have the box office trend of "The Dark Knight", Matthew will definitely be satisfied, but this luxury is obviously unrealistic.

Initially, he and Disney Studios expected the film to grossing $300 million in North America and $600 million worldwide.

Such an achievement is enough to revitalize the "Fast and Furious" series.

Now blessed by Matthew's super attention from public opinion, Matthew believes that the North American box office of $350 million and the global box office of $700 million is still very realistic.

Matthew spent most of his energy at this stage on the promotion of the film, and it wasn't until the day of the premiere that he went to the Los Angeles County Police Department and talked to the Los Angeles police and the FBI, which basically ended the shooting.

This case has been characterized as a terrorist attack, and as a country that has learned a painful lesson in terrorist attacks, it is conceivable how severe and swift the handling of terrorist attacks will be.

According to the information obtained by Matthew, the prosecutor will go all out to fight for the death penalty of the three drug dealers who survived under him, and the FBI once again joined forces with Mexico to carry out a sweeping purge of Tijuana, revealing a clear signal that Mexican drug dealers can do whatever they want in Mexico, dare to cross the border, and think about the consequences first.

Matthew's purpose was simple, the three had to die.

As things stand, three Mexican drug traffickers may not survive this year.

In addition, the impact of the shooting was so widespread that a deputy chief of the Los Angeles County Police Department and the head of the LA branch of the FBI all resigned, which was also an explanation to Matthew from the government.

Of course, there are also a lot of private negotiations and agreements involved, such as Matthew's future investment in films, if the Los Angeles police and the FBI need to assist, the other party will give the greatest possible assistance within the scope of authority.

With Helen Herman here, Matthew doesn't have to worry about not getting enough of it.

It's just that none of this can be said on the surface.

Matthew no longer has to worry about the threat from the Mexican side, but the security level around him has not been reduced, and once he goes out, he is accompanied by six bodyguards.

He himself is also paying attention, avoiding some unnecessary risks as much as possible, and sometimes thinking that there is indeed a problem with law and order in Los Angeles, if it is placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the last thing a public figure of his level to worry about is personal safety.

Even if there is danger, there are knives at most, and it is too common to get an automatic weapon out of the way here.

No matter how good he is, he can't stop the bullets.

Unfortunately, there are as many people as there are people who support a gun ban.

Such complex political and social issues are not his turn to worry about as a Hollywood star.

After coming back, Matthew specifically asked Helen Herman that the angel agency had not received an invitation to the role from the other side of the Pacific, and it seemed that his words basically dispelled the mind of the director Zhang Da.

Instead, Helen Herman said something else that piqued his interest.

"As far as I know, there is a film company on the other side of the Pacific and a famous film director who jointly sent Christian Bale an invitation to make a film. ”

In the office of Angel Agency, Helen Herman said to Matthew while sipping bitter coffee, "It's just the last few days, and it's said that Christian Bale is very interested in that character after reading the script." ”

Matthew was stunned, "He's going to work with someone over there to make a film?"

I remember that it was Matt Damon who shot the monster movie, and at that time he was bombarded back and forth several times by the media on both sides of the Pacific, because it was relatively close to the time when the hammer killed him, he roughly remembered it more clearly.

Director Zhang Da also worked with Christian Bale? He doesn't remember anything like that.

"Christian Bale's agent will be on the other side of the Pacific next month. Helen Herman added, "Presumably to negotiate Bale's contract." ”

Matthew nodded, didn't say anything more, he had already rejected Director Zhang Da, and it didn't matter who the other party was willing to find.

"A couple of more things. ”

Matthew wasn't in Los Angeles during this time, and Helen Herman had a lot of things to do with him, "The Inception crew sent a notice asking you to go directly to Warner Studios in early June to join the crew. ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "You help me get back to Nolan, and I'll return to the crew on time." ”

"Inception" has not yet been filmed, and some of the location scenes in Los Angeles and Canada have not been filmed.

Helen Herman added, "Filming of Iron Man 2 has begun, and Kevin Feige wants you to have time to go to the studio at the Hughes Aircraft Factory, he seems to have something to talk to you about. ”

The film, Studio 13, which accounts for 40 percent of the investment, Matthew seems to take it seriously, saying, "I'll turn on the phone for Kevin Feige and I'll go over and see it when I'm done with the next few days." ”

Marvel's superhero movie series is an important revenue storehouse for him in the future.

Apple stock and Disney stock can always be held in his hand to maintain their value, and the profits from investing in movies are enough for him to be at ease.

I just don't know how many years superhero movies can dominate the market.

Anyway, when he was smashed on the head, Marvel's superhero movies were still very popular.

Helen Herman's face suddenly became a little strange, and she said, "There is a ...... Nini's people called the company and said they were friends you met across the Pacific. ”

"She. Matthew said casually, "A good actor." ”

Helen Herman nodded, seeming to understand the meaning behind the words, and said, "She left a phone call saying that she would be traveling to Los Angeles recently. ”

With that, she pushed a card with a number written on it to Matthew, who glanced at it and put it away.

The angel agency has a group dedicated to handling chores for him, and Matthew certainly doesn't leave his private number to a woman he just met, and it's the group's number that is left for Nini.

"Traveling to Los Angeles......," Matthew muttered to himself, "this one seems to have decided." ”

Los Angeles is a good place, he has the advantage of his home field, he has no worries, and no amount of forest can be cut down.

On the afternoon of hoeing day, the spring grass and trees in the city are deep, and the people will see it for a long time.

Maybe you can see how this Nini's acting skills are, at least she must be able to get a passing grade.

This is also due to the principle of trading, and he still cares a lot about his reputation in this area.

What kind of person Matthew is, Helen Herman knows best, and she doesn't dwell on this kind of issue at all, and says directly, "Amanda asked me to tell you that part of the funds for saving children and education in Africa have been allocated, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Hmm. Matthew nodded.

"One last thing. Helen Herman pulled out a gilded invitation and said, "Natalie Portman has sent an invitation to have a grand premiere of Cloud Atlas in Los Angeles in the middle of next month, and she invites you to be a guest." ”

Matthew took the invitation and looked at it, and said, "Then I'll go and have a look." ”

As one of the promoters of Project B's two major productions, "Cloud Atlas" directed by the Wachowski siblings, was released in mid-June, how could he miss the premiere?

Such a high-quality sci-fi commercial movie, why do you have to go to the scene to see it, right?

The hottest summer of the year in the North American film market has already kicked off, and "Fast and Furious 4" has also landed in North American theaters in the competition of many commercial masterpieces.
