Chapter 669: The Pilot's Affair

Other films released on the same weekend inevitably suffered a huge impact from "The Dark Knight", which was directly reflected in the box office of "Superman Hancock for All".

The film's box office fell by more than 50 percent in its third weekend of release, with another $20.4 million, and with the previous weekday of $20.6 million, the North American box office finally broke through the $200 million mark to $203.6 million.

Compared with several films starring Matthew before, the North American box office of "Superman Hancock" is a little slower.

The film's North American box office drop is estimated to be around $300 million. ”

In the office, Helen Herman sat behind her desk and told Matthew about Warner Bros.' latest assessment, "It's hard to break $800 million at the global box office." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "Relative to the quality of the film, that's pretty good. ”

Helen Herman once again emphasized, "Don't work with Aziva Gosmann for the time being. ”

"I understand. Matthew said lightly.

On this point, the two have long reached an agreement, and he has definitively turned down the invitation of Aziva Gossmann to lead actor in "Jonaha, the Hero of the West".

Although Aziva Gossman deliberately used the heroine of Megan Fox as an item at that time, he still refused without hesitation, that Miss Fox was indeed very seductive, but he couldn't let him make a blind decision.

Which is more important, a woman or a career? He has always been very clear-headed, as long as his career is still there, there will be countless women in the future, and there are too many women like Megan Fox in Hollywood and the modeling circle.

Then again, if the career is over, how many of these women, including Nina Dubov and Meghan Fox, will still look at him squarely?

Matthew never felt that these women were hot with him because of love, he was not so naΓ―ve, maybe his excellent appearance was one of the favorable factors, but it was definitely not the point.

Therefore, he never thought of establishing a long-term and stable relationship with these women.

A woman who can come to the entertainment industry and figure out how to get ahead is not simple-minded.

For example, the girl I met when I went to explore Charlize Theron's class some time ago who likes milk, is now only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has already played a silly and sweet routine.

In this circle, whether it is true temperament or routine, in fact, everyone is selling personality, his character is a macho man who is close to the people, Emma Watson is a feminist and academic bully, Charlize Theron is a cold queen fan, and the milk girl is silly and sweet......

Some people are packaging themselves, and some people are packaging themselves......

If you want to live a true temperament in the entertainment industry, at least you have to wait until you become a superstar to have this qualification, and even the superstar character is packaged, and it is not impossible to play with true temperament before becoming famous, such a person is estimated to be a small actor for the rest of his life.

As for the character behind the character, it really doesn't matter, like Morgan Freeman's affair with his granddaughter has been passed on for so long, isn't it like that?

Matthew knows very well that his character is not very good, and the milk girl is probably not much better than him, Emma Watson, who has a good relationship with him, is not only a top student, but also has an average character, but Hollywood is like this, and it is too difficult for people with good character to mix.

Of course, if you look at Hollywood, there are more people with better character than them, such as Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman or something.

Jodie Foster is actually very admirable, this is a person who is so powerful that people can ignore their character.

After the assassination of Ronald Reagan that year, a press release written by Jodie Foster made countless people change their positions from anger and disgust towards her to sympathy.

When he was trained in public relations by Helen Herrmann, Helen Herman once specifically showed him the article "Why Me?" written by Jodie Foster.

A lot of people say that Natalie Portman is smart, but it's really not enough to put it in front of Jodie Foster.

In fact, he also borrowed from Jodie Foster in some aspects, this smart woman has done a perfect job in public image building and media public relations, and there is almost no negative news about her in the market, and all the news is vulnerable in the face of Reagan's assassination.

The assassination of Reagan was arguably the biggest crisis in Jodie Foster's life, but she and her team cleverly turned it into her biggest protective color.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but shake his head slightly, just like countless people have been poisoned by Matilda, too many people have also been poisoned by "Taxi Driver".

How charming is "Taxi Driver"? How charming is Jodie Foster? Maybe the charm is indescribable, she is like a magic arrow that can shoot through the hearts of others.

In 1981, another president of the United States was assassinated - almost all the presidents of the United States who were smarter died at their own hands, probably the actor-turned-president was not smart enough, he was lucky to survive - Jodie Foster's craziest fan John Hinckley ambushed the newly inaugurated Ronald Reagan outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., and what he did was only to get the attention of the female star he was in love with almost crazy.

This female star is Jodie Foster.

Perhaps, John Hinckley believes that only such sacrifices and dedication are enough to attract a look back from the goddess in his heart......

Helen Herman then said, "By the way, there's news that might be of interest to you. ”

Matthew raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's the news?"

"Warner Bros. has officially signed with Will Smith. "Helen Herman knows what kind of person Matthew is, and knows better that he won't forget some of the things that the Smiths have done," said Will Smith as the Green Lantern. ”

She added, "You've probably heard that the movie 'Green Lantern' will be the opening chapter of the Justice League universe. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I've heard Charles Rowan talk about it. He thought for a moment and asked, "Did Warner Bros. offer Will Smith a super high salary?"

Helen Herman said calmly, "According to the information I received, it should be a base salary of $20 million plus a certain percentage of the post-production share. ”

"A lucrative contract. Matthew sighed.

When he first hinted at Charles Rowan without a trace, he predicted that if Will Smithken played the Green Lantern, the short-term benefits would be inevitable.

"Will Smith is a first-list movie star, not an out-of-fashion star like Robert Downey Jr. Helen Herman said slowly, "Although after "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Will Smith's later works are not too successful, but he still maintains a first-line status and good market appeal, and the actual choice is relatively wide, Warner Bros. can impress him, and he will inevitably pay a high salary." ”

Matthew said deliberately, "He's benefited a lot." ”

He didn't mention it to Helen Herman.

When Helen Herman heard this, she glanced at Matthew, but she didn't think much about it, after all, Matthew, whom she knew, was not a generous person, and Will Smith had put Matthew together before, and Matthew certainly couldn't see Will Smith's goodness.

"Don't talk about it. Helen Herman took the initiative to change the subject and said, "You went to see Christopher Nolan yesterday, how was the chat?"

Matthew shook his head with a little helplessness, "It's a headache." He shrugged slightly, "Director Nolan gave me some books about dreams and asked me to study them carefully. ”

Compared to several films with Aziva Gossman, he had to do more preparation for the filming of "Inception" this time.

In fact, he and Christopher Nolan talked about more than that, Christopher Nolan also took the initiative to mention the problem of drug abuse, and faintly hinted at Matthew, hoping that the future actor of "Inception" will not have problems similar to Heath Ledger.

Of course, this kind of problem doesn't happen to Matthew, who has always hated drugs and the like.

He doesn't care how other people in the circle treat drugs, but he can't touch them himself.

Many Hollywood celebrities are not accompanied by drugs because of work pressure or mental depression, but more in search of thrills, and if they break the law by taking vitamins, these people will still go to take vitamins.

The entertainment industry is often related to drugs, and young people usually start learning from dross, and they don't let them learn anything, but is it really dick to follow the trend and become a pilot?

Those who have watched "Home Alone" should know that the "little ghost" Macaulay Culkin, who was at his peak at the age of 8, became addicted to drugs when he was a minor, and spent $180,000 a month on drugs.

These people have burned themselves out quickly, and they have been at the peak, or they will make some people feel that life is too short, and this is what I want.

But most drug addicts have never seen what the peak is, it just gets worse and worse.

No matter what the situation is, Matthew will not touch drugs, there are many things in this world that can bring him excitement and enjoyment, why can't he think of going to a dead end by himself?

Making money can make him very cool, and chasing beautiful women can also make him feel very exciting......

As a vulgar person, even in the past fifty years, he will not get tired of making money and beautiful women, which is the biggest motivation.

Drugs and the pursuit of art are completely evil.

"Inception" won't start filming until next year, Matthew still has plenty of time to prepare, and Christopher Nolan has given a few books that are a bit obscure, but he will read them carefully.

As a star-level actor, his dedication and remuneration can be matched.

As for the second half of this year, there is also "Special Forces" in collaboration with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro.

"The project has been officially titled Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra. Helen Herman said to him, "Your lead actor negotiations are in the final stages of the final stage. ”
