"What do they mean over there?"

In the office of the Angel Agency, Matthew looked at Helen Herman across the street and asked, "Not a written letter, but a message from Disney?"

Helen Herman reflected on the news coming from Disney and said, "They're looking for the right jury president, and you're one of the candidates." After a moment's deliberation, she added, "They don't know the attitude of our side, so let's find an intermediary first, so that there is room for advance and retreat." ”

"Chairman of the jury of the 1st Metropolis International Film Festival. Matthew said slowly, "I didn't expect that someone would ask me to be the chairman of the jury of the film festival. ”

Disney Greater China, just yesterday sent a message to Helen Herman that the opposite side is transforming the annual capital film season into an A-category international film festival, and preparations are about to be completed, and the spring of 2011 will kick off.

Helen Herman gets straight to the core, "They desperately need to expand their international reach, and you're famous." ”

Matthew certainly knows this, there are many A-category film festivals in the world, but it is not easy to become the most influential.

At the first Capital International Film Festival, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa, since the other party came to test through Disney, if he was interested, he was very likely to become the chairman of the jury.

But what are the pros and cons of this kind of thing?

I've heard of this film festival before, but it's only to the extent that people like him like to watch popcorn movies rarely pay attention to the festival.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "From the perspective of developing the cross-strait market, the jury seems to be somewhat useful. ”

"I recommend not taking it. Helen Herman said slowly, "It's doing more harm than good for us. ”

"Tell me about it. Matthew said.

Since Helen Herman said so, she must have understood.

Helen Herman explains, "An international A-category film festival like this, even the most conservative Venice film festival, although commercial transactions can account for more than 70% of the festival's content, the selection process is not a commercial film, and it does not match your positioning. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, fully agreeing with Helen Herman's statement, if you want to say that the most commercial large-scale film award, it is none other than the Oscar, and the Oscar does not help him much.

"Also, this festival has a strong official background. Helen Herman said two names and said, "The festival will only be held in 2011, but the news from Disney that the overall tone of this film festival is very official and not suitable for us." ”

The words also reminded Matthew that politics has never been far from movies.

Helen Herman continued, "I know you're interested in the culture over there, but the Magic City Film Festival is a better fit than this one. ”

"Makes sense. Matthew nodded again.

"Don't forget. Helen Herman reminded, "You're a leftist. ”

She thought for a moment and then said, "If they just invite you to the film forum, you can go over and the chairman of the jury will forget it." ”

Matthew thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "Many things don't change with our will. ”

Helen Herman pushed her glasses, "Matthew, culturally you can get close to them appropriately, and politically you must stay away from them. ”

Matthew understood what he meant, and whispered, "I understand. ”

Guanhai seems to be a little gentler, and when the one who governs the country on Twitter comes to power, the two sides will pay more attention to getting along, but the future will be talked about in the future.

And as one of the many leftists in Hollywood, even if you don't lash out at Twitter in the future, you have to sneer a few words.

This is political correctness in Hollywood.

"That's good. Matthew made a decision, "Helen, you can find a reason to push." ”

Helen Herman nodded and added, "You see if that's okay, I'll send them a signal that if they invite you to the Film Forum during the festival, you can take the time to come over." ”

When it comes to politics, Matthew has a headache and simply says, "You can watch and deal with it." ”

It is said that most film festivals have an official shadow behind them, but after all, it is the other side of the Pacific.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, not to mention the film festivals on the other side of the Pacific, such as Cannes, Berlin and Venice, the three major film festivals have not been much.

If you have time, you can also go around, of course, not to participate in any awards, but to participate in the commercial activities of the film festival, maybe you can find a big-selling movie with a small budget and high box office?

Looking at the world's major film festivals, no matter how influential the screening or award is, for many industry insiders, commercial activities are the core part of the film festival, and more than 70% of the content of the three major European films is actually a film sale.

However, it is not easy to find a good film.

Mature cinema films and commercial films are in short supply in the current market, and do you still need to go to film festivals to sell copyrights?

Not long after staying at Angel Agency, Matthew was about to say goodbye, and when he was leaving, Helen Herman seemed to remember something and called out to him again.

"By the way, there was something I almost forgot. She pulled open the drawer and pulled out a bunch of keys, "This is the key to that house you have in Burbank, which Alexandra Daddario kept here." ”

"Anna called me. Matthew went over and put away the key, "I asked her to put the key with you." ”

Helen Herman asked curiously, "You guys don't have any contact with each other?"

Matthew loaded the key and shrugged, "I haven't seen her in a long time." He didn't say more, "I'll go first, call me if there's something." ”

For Alexandra Daddario's situation, most of his news comes from Amanda, the actress who can set off monstrous waves, in fact, her development has not been smooth, and the road is getting narrower and narrower, basically limited to vases, especially the vases of some horror movies.

Alexandra D'Addario's shadow flashed in his head, and Matthew suddenly thought of the long-lost milk shock, and if he has a chance to try it again in the future?

Alexandra Daddario had also gone under the knife, but it was on the face, not the chest.

It's really not easy for pure nature to develop like Alexandra D'Addario.

It seems that if it is too big, maintenance is also a problem, and if the sag is too strong, it will not be fun, and if you have the opportunity another day, you must remind Alexandra Daddario that you must take good care of it.

This is also the biggest capital to play the heroine of some more movies.

Not every actress can cause a milk shock when filming an earthquake scene.

Back at Horner Manor, Matthew is ready to contact the real estate agent, planning to rent out or sell the house, and he can't just leave it empty and pay property tax every year, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

But when he picked up the phone, he suddenly remembered something.

When I talked to James Win on the phone a few days ago, James Win was looking for a house suitable for filming "Latent", preferably with some characteristics, such as a murderous house or something.

It seems that this house is not bad to rent to the crew of "Latent"?

Matthew only thought for a few seconds before dialing James Wyn instead.

In a short time, he had already thought a lot, the house in the northern suburbs of Burbank had been murdered, it was a veritable murder house, and it was the murder house where he, a famous Hollywood superstar, lived!

This is very unusual, and when the film is released in the future, can it become material for publicity and hype?

When James Wynne answered the phone, Matthew briefly told him about the house, and James Wynn asked a little more about the specific situation.

Then, the two communicated and exchanged ideas on the issue of the murderous house.

James Wynn said that when filming started, he would do a full set of plays, and he would ask someone like a psychic to go over and see the house.

Matthew has no problem with this, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods anyway.

Then again, a non-believer like him doesn't care about these things, otherwise he wouldn't have bought that house knowing that there had been a murder.

He thought of the question, would Alexandra Daddario be scared if he had lived there for so long?

Even if there was something, with the monstrous waves she could set off, she would be crushed to death with a flick of her chest......

The time slowly entered December, and the preparations for "The Hunger Games" were in full swing, and the various behind-the-scenes jobs of the crew were gradually in place, and the audition work began in full swing.

With the success of the Twilight series, the heroine of The Hunger Games, Katniss, has attracted a lot of attention.

For a time, where Matthew appeared, there was always no shortage of agents in suits and leather shoes.

Everyone knows that the real decision of such an absolute protagonist must be in Matthew's hands.

Originally, Matthew also considered letting Gal Gadot play Katnis, but now he directly vetoed it, Gal Gadot ran back to Israel again, and it is estimated that the crew of "Fast and Furious 5" will not come back, and Gal Gadot was born in 1985 and is now almost 25 years old, although his face is very tender, but playing the role of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl is really not convincing at all.

The age of the actor for this role cannot exceed twenty years old, and the younger the better.

In view of the problems of young actresses' acting skills and psychological quality, around the age of eighteen is actually the most suitable.

Are there any post-90s actresses in Hollywood who are particularly suitable?

Matthew couldn't figure it out for a long time, should I let Emma Watson try it? It seems a bit risky, after all, she is now Hermione Granger, and starring in another series can't get rid of this at all.

Lily Collins' age is okay, the problem is that she looks too sweet.

Let's release the news first, and the crew will count a specific list, if it really doesn't work, isn't there still a milk girl? Anyway, I saw her when I went to visit Ben Theron before, and it wasn't difficult to get in touch.

The arrival of December also means the beginning of the awards season in Hollywood, many people are running for this awards season, and some people have already begun to prepare for the next awards season.

Rachel Weisz came to visit her for the next awards season.
