After all, he has a good relationship with Keira Knightley, and after that, persuade her to say a few words, if she doesn't agree, Matthew can't do anything, after all, he is neither Keira Knightley's relative, nor her agent, if he talks too much, I'm afraid it will only cause complaints.
Not everyone is like him, Jerry Bruckheimer's gold sign, which is unusually shiny right now.
Matthew can only try.
Besides, he doesn't remember clearly, maybe this "King Arthur" is a successful work.
After chatting about Jerry Bruckheimer's new project, Matthew and Helen Herman turned to his fake romance with Keira Knightley.
"The crew and Disney and Pixar Studios said hello, and that kind of thing doesn't have a negative impact on the film. Helen Herman said of the latest developments, "They don't have an opinion on that side. ”
Matthew nodded, "That's good." ”
Helen Herman added, "I spoke with James Burnst and the crew's press officer, Anderson Martinez, yesterday morning, and there were some changes to the plan, and the crew asked you to speed things up. ”
"Speed up the progress?" Matthew didn't quite understand, "how to speed up the progress." ”
"It's not just about holding hands on the red carpet!" Helen Herman explains, "and the crew will have a special pose in the media photo zone, and your first public kiss with Keira Knightley will also be on this red carpet." ”
Matthew said directly, "I don't have a problem. He thought for a moment and asked, "What about Kayla?
Helen Herman nodded, "There's no problem with Keira Knightley's side either." She continued the topic just now, "The previous plans have been adjusted to a certain extent, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" has a good reputation in several test screenings, which is beneficial to the early publicity, and the crew postponed the plan. “
She picked up her glass, took a sip, and said, "You've moved back in time together, and Keira Knightley's plan to move into your house has been pushed back a week until after the film's first weekend." ”
"I'm fine. Matthew is very self-aware, and this aspect is mainly based on cooperating with the plan formulated by the crew and agent, "You can notify me of the specific time." ”
He asked another question of concern, "What about breakups? When will they break up?"
This fake romance is indeed good for the hype, but it also restricts freedom in some aspects, and he does not want to carry it out for a long time.
"Wait until around September......," Helen Herman considered at the time, "and we're going to find a suitable opportunity, and a suitable excuse to break up with Keira Knightley." ”
This is also in line with the normal situation in the circle, because the feelings of love in the drama often come and go quickly.
There are so many Hollywood divisions and combinations.
Helen Herman's words are not finished, "If Pirates of the Caribbean is successful, it is likely that a sequel will be filmed, and Anderson Martinez has a proposal that if you don't have a relationship by then, you can get back together again." ”
"This ......" Matthew has a new understanding of the shamelessness of Hollywood propaganda, "let's talk about this then." ”
Compared to these, he is actually more concerned about the problem that Jerry Bruckheimer is facing when Helen Herman talks about it.
Ending the conversation with Helen Herman, Matthew went to the recreation room on the first floor of the angel agency, picked up the cue, played billiards alone, and thought carefully while playing, Jerry Bruckheimer took several months to solve the funding problem of "King Arthur" through financing, and temporarily postponed another project, it must have been impossible to find a source of funding for a while, and Disney Pictures had no capital injection.
Could this be a breakthrough?
It's a pity, I don't know what the specific content of this project is, in case it's an inappropriate genre, wouldn't it be useless to do more now?
Matthew made up his mind, or wait and see.
However, he can also be a little prepared, he knows a rich man who is very wealthy and wants to develop in the film industry.
Fox Sherman has only invested in Lakeview Pictures' "Tales of the Night" project, which is a small project of a second-tier company, and Niebora told him before that Fox Sherman wants to cooperate with the top big projects of the six major Hollywood companies, but unfortunately there is no suitable step and doorway.
In North America, many investments are not just waved and the other party will accept them.
Although Matthew doesn't know anything about investing, after a few years, he also knows that those who accept investment will also choose investors.
I just don't know if Fox Sherman has such strength.
He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Neborah's number, but there was no one to connect, and it was estimated that Nebola was busy teaching staff in the gym.
Matthew picked up the club and continued to entertain himself, playing for more than ten minutes, when the phone rang and Neborah dialed back.
"Is there anything wrong, Matthew?" asked Neborah directly.
"Something is true. Matthew had a good relationship with him, and he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Do you know much about Fox Sherman?"
Nebora on the other end of the phone said, "I've been his fitness instructor before, so if you know it, it depends on what you need." ”
Matthew thought for a moment and asked, "Finance, how much money can he probably mobilize?"
"I don't know the specifics. Niebora was silent for a while before a voice came, "He once told me that he came to Hollywood this time to invest in entrepreneurship, and he has a lot of money in his hands, and he wants to invest in the top projects of the six major companies......"
Listening to Neborah's words, Matthew felt more and more that this might be a good idea.
"Thank you, Nebora. Matthew said, "I'll go to the clubhouse tomorrow afternoon, and I'll have a treat then." ”
Hanging up the phone, he wondered if he was going to inform Helen Herman about it, but after thinking about it for a while, it was not too late to wait for Jerry Bruckheimer's project to have specific news.
He looked at the time, called Keira Knightley, and agreed to meet at the café below the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, where she was staying.
Matthew leaves the Angel Agency and goes straight to Beverly Hills, where he soon meets Keira Knightley in the Four Seasons Café.
"You're looking for me?" asked Keira Knightley.
"I just heard from my agent," Matthew said directly, "that you took over the lead role of King Arthur?"
Keira Knightley nodded, "yes!" she continued, "Jerry Bruckheimer was originally interested in having a male lead, but your agent refused, saying you already have a new job. ”
"Well, the male lead of a small production. Matthew didn't go into details, but asked, "When will "King Arthur" start filming?"
"It's around September. Keira Knightley seemed a little sad, "It's a pity we can't shoot together." ”
Matthew didn't know how to speak, and he talked for a while before he said, "Kayla, tell you a secret. ”
Keira Knightley was conscious, "Say, I'll keep it a secret for you, my reputation is much better than yours." ”
This made Matthew a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned enough to continue, "Actually, I asked my agent to reject the actor of "King Arthur", not because I got a new job, but because I was afraid that I would be restricted from acting if I played the same type of costume role in a row. ”
"Makes sense!" Keira Knightley thought for a moment and seemed to agree with the sentiment, "Your role as the Scorpion King, and now you have Will Turner, and then you play King Arthur, it's easy to give the illusion that you can only play a muscular man in ancient costume." ”
Matthew reminded, "Aren't you worried?"
"I'm the second costume character, what are you worried about?" Keira Knightley said with a big grin, "Even if it's too late to worry, I've already signed a contract with the crew of King Arthur, and it will be very troublesome to break the contract without a valid reason." ”
Hearing her say this, Matthew also understood that it was useless to continue talking, and Keira Knightley had signed a contract with the crew.
But after thinking about it, with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series as the foundation, Keira Knightley will not be finished because of a film hitting the streets, he remembers that Keira Knightley starred in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, and what will happen next, it is not very clear.
It is estimated that like many actresses, she became famous in business, and was fooled by the media and critics, completely gave up commercial films, and went to the independent circle to hone her acting skills.
Isn't that the case with most actresses?
The two said goodbye, and the topic shifted to the so-called cohabitation of the two in the future.
Keira Knightley asked, "Have you cleaned up my room?"
"Not yet. Matthew's rented house has several bedrooms, but except for the one he lives in and the one that serves as a study, the rest is used as a utility room, "Don't worry, before you move in, I will clean up and buy brand new furniture." ”
"It's better to be quick. Keira Knightley admonished, "Remember to tear down the bedroom door." ”
Matthew was stunned, unable to figure out what Keira Knightley was trying to do, and said, "What are you doing when you open the door? You're not trying to seduce me, are you?"
"Die!" Keira Knightley glared at Matthew, "I'll contact the security door company to install a sturdy new door!"
She snorted coldly, "I'm not at ease with you!"
Matthew snorted as she did, "You're still worried about me, Kayla, you're too suspicious, you don't know what trust is." He spread out his hands and said, "Have I done anything excessive to you during this time of dating?"
Keira Knightley bit her lip as if ...... Not really.
"It's not too early, I'll go back and tear down the door for you. Matthew stood up, "Remember, order a vault-level security door from Switzerland." ”
He turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered that the premiere of "Finding Nemo" was coming soon, and reminded, "Kayla, dress nicely for next week's premiere." ”
