"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. ”

Inside the Black Mamba Bar, Michael Fassbender looked at Matthew and shook his head, "You guy actually got the lead actor, and he still invested 40 million dollars in production!"

Matthew deliberately put on a very dragging look, "No way, who made me handsome and attractive!"

"Die, you!" James McAvoy shoved him and said with a smile, "You can have me handsome?"

"I'm more handsome than you!" Matthew said as he turned to James McAvoy, "but not as beautiful as you." ”

Michael Fassbender grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Doesn't that mean that?"

The three of them picked up their glasses and drank together.

James McAvoy asked curiously, "Matthew, why have you never seen your girlfriend?"

"She's busy. Matthew shrugged and said vaguely, "I'm out of town." ”

Britney's new album has already been released, and she's back on the fly.

He took the initiative to change the topic, "You came over to dub "Black Hawk Down", why didn't the crew notify me?"

"The voices are all a few small characters. James McAvoy took the glass from Michael Fassbender and said, "The acoustics of the main characters seem to be fine." ”

Referring to the crew of "Black Hawk Down", he remembered one thing and asked Matthew, "Didn't Johnny Lee Miller ask you for a tape?"

"Tape?" Michael Fassbender asked curiously, just after pouring Matthew a drink, "What tape?"

"A videotape that doesn't exist. Matthew simply told Michael Fassbender about it.

"How can there be such a thing?" Michael Fassbender grinned again, showing a mouthful of white teeth, "Matthew, it's good that you're smart, otherwise we'd be looking for you in the San Fernando Valley." ”

Matthew raised his glass to him and took a sip of his wine.

Michael Fassbender said, "Where are you going to get the tape?"

"So, ah, I've been dragging it. Matthew put down his glass and said, "Johnny Lee Miller called me and I didn't answer, I just blacklisted him." ”

James McAvoy thought of something and suddenly asked, "Did you participate in the pre-screening promotion of "Black Hawk Down"?"

Matthew shook his head, "I don't know, neither I nor the agent have been notified. ”

"If you want to participate, you should pay attention. James McAvoy reminded, "Maybe you'll meet Johnny Lee Miller." ”

Michael Fassbender also said, "Matthew, it's better to pay attention, Johnny Lee Miller is a very familiar person in the British Actors Gang in Hollywood. ”

"Hmm. James McAvoy chimed in, "I can testify to this." ”

He's a British actor in his own right.

"I'll keep an eye on him. "Matthew, of course, doesn't underestimate Johnny Lee Miller.

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Michael Fassbender changed the subject, "Let's talk about some happy ......"

Before he finished speaking, a small man passing by suddenly stopped at this table, glanced at Matthew, and took the initiative to greet, "Matthew?"

Hearing this voice, Matthew immediately looked over and saw a familiar face, the director who had directed Britney's MV, quickly stood up and responded politely, "Hello, Director Schneider, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

He took the initiative to hold out his right hand, and Zack-Schneider shook his hand and said, "Call me Zack." ”

It's rare to meet a director, Matthew politely asked, "Let's sit down and have a drink?"

Zack Schneider shook his head, "I have something to do, let's do it another day." ”

Matthew nodded, and the two chatted casually again, talking about basically work, except for work, there was no common topic, and after a pause of less than a minute, Zack Schneider said goodbye and left.

"Who is he?" asked Michael Fassbender curiously.

"Zack Schneider. Matthew said simply, "A MV and advertising director." ”

"He's very famous in the advertising world. James McAvoy suddenly spoke, he was well-informed and obviously knew Zack Schneider as a person, "He shoots commercials that are unique, known for his widescreen cinematic style, has produced promotional films for Nike and Reebok featuring Michael Jordan and tennis star Martina Navratilova, and has been named the most talented commercial director by the British magazine Media Arts." ”

Only then did Matthew know that Zack Schneider had such a big fame before he entered the film industry.

In the conversation just now, Zack Schneider also inadvertently mentioned that he is ready to become a film director and is looking for the right project.

However, even if he has a great reputation in the advertising industry, it is not easy to become a director of a film project with a certain investment scale.

What was Zack Schneider's first movie? Matthew chatted and farted with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender while reminiscing about Zack Schneider.

It's definitely not a superhero movie, it seems that there is a 300 red pants that appeared earlier, maybe this one?

He really can't remember, after all, what really left an impression on Zack Snyder was "Batman v Superman".

The three of them had been drinking at the Black Mamba Bar until about ten o'clock in the evening, draining a whole bottle of whiskey and some low-alcohol cocktails, and then they walked out of the bar together in a daze.

For safety reasons, Matthew called a substitute driver when he came out, and then beckoned James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to walk towards the nearby parking lot.

Not far after walking out, passing an intersection, James McAvoy pointed to a place on the side of the road and said, "Rivan Phoenix overdosed on drugs and died over there." ”

Matthew hadn't heard the name and asked curiously, "Who is Riven Phoenix?"

Michael Fassbender went on to explain, "A true acting genius, but unfortunately addicted to drugs. ”

"Drug addiction...... Matthew was quite emotional, thinking of a sentence that he used to see often, "Cherish life and stay away from drugs!"

Although drug abuse is a common phenomenon in Hollywood, there are also people who do not use drugs.

Matthew also couldn't figure out what kind of mentality drug addicts have?

The substitute driver quickly arrived in the parking lot, drove Matthew's BMW, and took James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender to their respective hotels before returning Matthew to his home in Burbank.

In the following days, Matthew spent most of his time in the plan, except for flying to Washington, D.C., to meet Britney, who was running the announcement, the only difference was that he increased his time for fitness and training, and spent the whole afternoon in the fitness club in Westwood District, following Neborah and another fitness instructor to practice boxing and kickboxing.

As the level improves, he will also think of the previous idea of brainless movies, and he has also considered that if he can really become a star in the future, can he attract investment in an action movie from beginning to end?

During this vacation, Matthew also received a call from Kelly Hu, an actor with equally prominent characteristics who has found a new job as a highly skilled female mutant in the Twentieth Century Fox superhero blockbuster "X-Men 2", which is said to have a lot of rivalry with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine.

Subsequently, Matthew also got an opportunity to apply for a job at Twentieth Century Fox, which is also a superhero movie.

After Helen Herman learned that Twentieth Century Fox had set up a project for the comic book adaptation of the film "Daredevil", she tried to submit his actor resume to the crew, wanting to fight for the role.

This kind of superhero production, once it is commercially successful, the protagonist will become popular.

Matthew was a little confused when he received a notice from Helen Herman, who had been a lover of superhero movies and popcorn movies, and had seen countless online pirated resources, but he couldn't remember such a Daredevil movie.

A superhero movie like this, if he has seen it, he will definitely have an impression, and if he doesn't have an impression, it may be that the film has a very small impact.

However, he didn't get an audition invitation from the crew of "Daredevil" at all, and a few days after Helen Herman submitted his resume, he received an email from the crew of "Daredevil", and the crew politely rejected Matthew because the actor had been determined.

Just like the crew of "The Scorpion King", the crew of "Daredevil" has just established the project, and it has been determined that Ben Affleck will be the leading actor.

Hearing the name Ben Affleck, Helen Herman also died, and Matthew simply didn't have the capital to compete with Ben Affleck.

Matthew didn't feel sorry for it, he didn't have any impression of such a big investment in a superhero movie, who knows if it was a pit?

A failed big-budget commercial film has a very different impact on the small supporting characters and the male lead.

The production company shoots commercial films in pursuit of profits, and naturally wants to avoid risks, and a big-budget actor played by a rookie actor hits the street, what will the production company think when it sees this actor?

Besides, there are too many actors in this circle who want to get ahead.

After Matthew took a break for nearly half a month, he was called to the angel agency by Helen Herman, saying that he had work matters to discuss.

"Call me over in such a hurry," Matthew asked, sitting across from her desk, "Is there a role for me?"

Helen Herman is still the same old look, saying, "The crew of 'Black Hawk Down' has sent you a notice asking you to participate in several promotional events for the crew in North America in December. ”

Matthew thought of Johnny Lee Miller for a moment and just nodded, "Oh. ”

"One more thing. Helen Herman added, "Try to be as familiar as Jerry Bruckheimer as possible." ”
