After attending a charity dinner, Matthew also took a tour of the United Nations headquarters in New York, where his reputation as a social activist and advocate for the rights of women and children was largely catching up with the title of Hollywood superstar.

At United Nations Headquarters, he attended a press conference convened and chaired by the Secretary-General to further enhance his qualifications.

Matthew reiterates his call for society to help children around the world realize their fundamental rights to survival, development, protection and participation.

Through his status as a Hollywood superstar, Matthew has a terrifying global reputation, and these public works have helped him further improve his social status.

Through years of hard work, in addition to Hollywood superstars, Matthew has also successfully established several other aspects of his persona.

Therefore, Matthew is relatively fond of feathers.

Elizabeth Holmes's invitation, he directly used Helen Herman as a shield to politely decline, but what Matthew didn't expect was that after returning to Los Angeles, the angel agency received a formal offer from Elizabeth Holmes.

The other party offered a salary of 10 million US dollars as a condition. ”

In the reception room at Horner Manor, Helen Herman told Matthew, "And there's room for negotiation." ”

Matthew sat on the rattan chair, looking a little lazy, and sighed, "What a big deal." He asked instead, "Have you checked her and her company?"

"How can I say it? Helen Herman organized the language, "Business rookie, the super-rich woman of the future, but in dire need of investment." ”

She didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "I suggest giving up, this belongs to the category of medical supplies, and it's best not to touch it if you can." ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "I didn't think about taking it either." ”

In addition to maintaining the original Rolex, Armani and Mercedes-Benz, he has not received advertising endorsements in the past two years.

Helen Herman added, "Elizabeth Holmes has an obvious purpose, she wants to use your fame and influence to create a buzz and then attract more venture capital. ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Just say no." ”

Helen Herman didn't say more, but said, "Elizabeth Holmes' company is in California, and when she talked to me on the phone before, she said that she wanted to find time to talk to you alone, and she would probably call you." ”

"I see. Matthew said.

Helen Herman was about to say goodbye, reminding before leaving, "Be more careful when dealing with a woman like Elizabeth Holmes." ”

Matthew resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Don't worry, I can tell the difference." ”

Having said that, is he the kind of second-year young man who doesn't care about a hot head when he sees a beautiful woman?

How could a man who started a business before the age of twenty and now be able to raise money from Rupert Murdoch take lightly?

"By the way, there's one more thing. Helen Herman remembered something again, "Starting in May, you're going to be working with Warner Bros. to promote the Inception crew. ”

Matthew nodded, "I see." ”

Like Christopher Nolan's previous commercial productions, "Inception" was placed in July of this year, and it was the best schedule in July, the weekend before the Independence Day holiday.

Taken under his and Christopher Nolan's names, there were no major productions at all that weekend.

However, like all summer schedules, Inception was crowded around the opening weekend, with Universal Pictures' Despicable Me the following weekend and Sony Columbia Pictures' Kung Fu Dream the weekend before.

Because of the name of kung fu, Matthew also specially learned about it, which is a film in which Jack Chan plays Will Smith's son.

Having said that, Will Smith did fight hard for his son, but Will Smith was on the opposite side of him a long time ago.

Maybe "Inception" can hit the box office of "Kung Fu Dream" the next weekend.

This is not intentional on the part of Matthew, in the past few independent day schedules, all the films he starred in have been sold well, which undoubtedly gives a hint to the circle inside and outside the circle, although there is no superstition here, but it is undoubtedly recognized that it is easier to succeed if you continue to walk along the road of success.

In that case, there's no reason why Warner Bros. shouldn't choose the high-quality schedule of Independence Day, and Matthew and Christopher Nolan's appeal is not ordinary.

Matthew never thought that the movies of the weekend before and after could threaten "Inception", and the audience for "Despicable Me" was very different from "Inception", as for "Kung Fu Dream......

Will Smith, who has almost no outstanding works since "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", is much worse than he used to be at this time in terms of fame and appeal, otherwise he would not have taken on superhero roles.

His son, Jaden Smith, has even fewer people in the spotlight.

Compared to "Kung Fu Dream", Matthew is more focused on the film that will be released the weekend before, "Alien Battlefield" directed by Andrew Stanton and starring Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman.

This big production, which cost as much as $250 million, is finally going to be released this summer.

Matthew is looking forward to the film, and whether "Alien Battlefield" will make Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman soar or will it sink completely?

But one thing, Matthew is very clear, due to the huge financial crisis and the amount of debt caused by the failure of "Cloud Atlas", "Alien Battlefield" is only a general success, and it will not have a role in turning the situation for Brad Pitt at all.

If he wants to get out of the predicament completely, Brad Pitt can only bet on the box office explosion of "Alien Battlefield".

Not to mention anything else, at least there must be box office figures like "Alice in Wonderland" released this year.

Without an excellent box office, it is impossible to sell the peripheral rights that account for the majority of the revenue at the ideal price.

Maybe Plan B and Brad Pitt won't make it this year?

Like last year, this year is still a big year for Matthew, in addition to starring "Inception", there is also "Iron Man 2" to be released in early May, James Win's "Latent" on Halloween will also enter North American theaters, and "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse" will also be released on Thanksgiving.

These films are very important to him, and Hollywood is the foundation of what he is today.

Seeing off Helen Herman, Matthew had a phone call with Christopher Nolan and exchanged some things about the pre-screening promotion of "Inception", and after hanging up the phone, he suddenly remembered something.

The USB drive that Andy Weir gave him hasn't been seen yet.

Matthew called Bella Anderson, and as soon as he got back to Los Angeles, he gave Bella Anderson a copy of the USB drive and asked her to make a copy and pass it on.

"It's a fun one. Bella Anderson has obviously seen it, and on the phone she commented on this far from finished book, "I think there is some adaptation value. ”

She also reminded her, "I found some information about Andy Weir and sent it to you together." ”

After the call, Matthew immediately went to the study to turn on the computer, logged on to his work mailbox, and saw the email from Bella Anderson.

He opened Andy Weir's profile first and looked at it.

Andy Weir has been writing on the Internet since he was 20 years old, but what he writes has not received much attention, and he is currently working at Blizzard Entertainment, where he has previous writing experience, leading part of the plot of Blizzard's signature masterpiece Warcraft.

Plus, he's a tech nerd.

So far, Andy Weir has not officially published any works, and his influence is still on the Internet, and the most famous work is only the plot of "Warcraft" that he participated in writing.

Originally, Matthew thought that Andy Weir was approaching him to promote the rights to the "Warcraft" movie, but now when he opened the file in his mailbox, he found that it had nothing to do with magic games, but pure science fiction.

Unlike the superhero comics of Marvel and DC, this is still a genre of hard sci-fi that is rarely looked down upon in the film industry today.

Nowadays, hard sci-fi movies have long been in decline, and even gradually faded out of the sequence of mainstream Hollywood commercial films, and it is difficult to see the hard sci-fi genre in the top ten of the North American box office list every year, and even the film copyright with hard sci-fi is not very valued by Hollywood producers.

It's no wonder that Andy Weir would take the initiative to sell at the door.

On the one hand, he has no qualifications for success, and on the other hand, it is related to the general market environment.

Seeing that it was hard sci-fi, Matthew was a little less interested, but the email was opened, and he started reading.

Including him, many people are afraid to watch science fiction, especially hard science fiction, mainly because they feel that there are too many scientific terms and scientific concepts that are too advanced and cannot be fully understood.

But Andy Weir's super clever solution to this problem, in it, he pointed out the background and theme of the story very early: the astronaut hero who had an accident needs to survive alone on Mars for a year and a half.

And the time point set in the whole story, as well as the scientific and technological means used in Mars exploration, are based on various versions of NASA's Mars program in reality, and all the solutions in the hero's survival are also calculated step by step.

Every time the actor encounters a problem, it is basically the same development routine - analyzing the problem, making assumptions, verifying on a small scale, determining the plan, and implementing it......

In this way, even Matthew, the reader, feels that every detail is incredibly real.

This palpable realism is probably the most fascinating part of this one.

Some people say that the biggest praise for hard science fiction is "written as if it were real".

There is also the setting of the male protagonist, which is not the kind of high-cold pretending to be a criminal, but extremely down-to-earth.

No matter how difficult the environment the actor faces, even if it is desperate, the spirit of humor and optimism can still shine in his lines.
