Chapter 637: Fair Competition

Seeing Brad Pitt, Matthew subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and waited for the battery car to stop next to Brad Pitt, but he felt that he had nothing to say to the other party.

He was just about to start the battery car when Brad Pitt had already turned his head to look.

Matthew wasn't the kind of person who would take the initiative to avoid it, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hi, Pete. Brad Pitt didn't know what he had done, so he pointed to the electric car, "Do you want me to give you a ride?" ”

When Brad Pitt saw Matthew, he thought of all the things he had done recently, hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded, "Of course you have to sit in a car." ”

After speaking, he got into the co-pilot of the battery car.

Just a short time after Brad Pitt got into the car, Matthew had already thought about what to say, started the battery car and drove slowly forward, and then said, "Pete, we're not friends, but we weren't enemies before, right?"

Brad Pitt clasped his hands to his chest and said the scene was full of words, "Not before, not now." ”

"Oh......" Matthew first dragged out his long note, then puzzled, "since I'm not an enemy, there's one thing I don't understand, why do you keep targeting me one after another?"

He held out one finger, "The Wachowski Sisters and Cloud Atlas!" and then held out a second finger, "Andrew Stanton and Alien Battlefield!"

"You can't say that. Brad Pitt laughed twice and asked, "Did the Wachowski sisters promise you? Did they sign an agreement with you? Andrew Stanton promised to find you to play the lead actor? "Alien Battlefield" has to accept your investment?"

Without Matthew's answer, he said, "As far as I know, no." ”

Matthew seemed to be stopped and fell silent.

Brad Pitt added, "This is normal business competition, and when the Wachowski siblings and Andrew Stanton are in contact with you, they are also in contact with me, and of course they will choose more favorable conditions and ......," he deliberately accentuated, "a stronger partner." ”

Matthew glanced at Pete, and Brad Pitt said before he could speak, "By the way, don't you have two projects in the pipeline? What are you called...... Well, "Fast and Furious 4" and "Twilight", you weren't the only one interested in these two projects at that time, right?"

"I'm not alone. Matthew told the truth.

Brad Pitt held out a finger and pointed ahead, "By your standards, can I also understand that you are deliberately targeting others?"

Matthew was dumbfounded for a moment, seemingly completely blocked by Brad Pitt's words.

"Hollywood directors and producers choose the right people to work with, and I offer better terms than you, so of course they want to work with me, which is the choice of the Wachowski sisters and Andrew Stanton. ”

Speaking of this, Brad Pitt said earnestly, "Matthew, I heard that your film studio has just been established, and I have reminded you as a person who has come to warn you that investing and producing films are different from mere acting, and you still have a lot to learn." ”

"Perhaps. Matthew replied casually, and the battery car arrived at the entrance of the Disney studio, he parked the car, and said to Brad Pitt, "Okay, I'll admit, you won both competitions." ”

Brad Pitt laughed heartily, "Goodbye, Matthew." He jumped out of the battery car, "I hope we can have a chance to work together." ”

Matthew said deliberately, "It's better not to have such an opportunity." ”

Hearing this obviously resentful words, Brad Pitt didn't care, seemed to have the bearing of a victor, waved his hand casually to Matthew's side, and walked out of the studio gate.

Matthew sat in the battery car and watched Brad Pitt leave, if these two pits really worked, how could he and Brad Pitt have a chance to work together?

Leave such an opportunity to others.

Subsequently, he also left the studio, changed to a Mercedes sedan waiting at the door, and asked the driver to go to the angel agency to pick up Nina Dubov first, and then return to Beverly Hills together.

"How's your preparation?" he asked Nina Dobov.

"I've been a little nervous lately. Nina Dobov's face was full of youth and beauty at the age of nineteen, "and I have always wondered if I have a chance to compete for the heroine of a $40 million film?"

Matthew leaned back in the comfy car seat and said, "If you're too nervous, the audition won't work." ”

Nina Dobov was prepared, "I know that I've been going to counseling lately. She instead asked, "Will you be auditioning for the Twilight Zone like you did today?"

"No, it won't. Matthew said directly, "The auditions are completely in charge of Sean Daniel and Sofia Coppola, and I won't let my subjective feelings affect the auditions." ”

The two most important female roles in this audition were attended by people he knew very well, Nina Dubrev and Lily Collins were not a problem with their appearance and age.

But if it's not suitable for the role, no one can pack a ticket.

Nina Dubov is okay to say that he has acted in two scenes with her, and the most basic acting skills are there, and Lily Collins is difficult to say, after all, the host and acting are two different things.

Matthew glanced at Nina Dobrev next to her, she could be said to be at the best age of her life, tall and slender, youthful and beautiful......

In his impression, the original eight countries in Eastern Europe seem to be rich in beautiful women, and when they were young, they were all beautiful and sexy, which always made people full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Probably all the good things are given to the stage of seventeen or eighteen to early twenties, and when they are a little older, the speed of aging and the speed of body gain are often very amazing.

If Nina Dobrev becomes the heroine, the Twilight series would ideally be completed within five or six years.

Such a romance movie, compared to the action sci-fi films produced by the first line, is relatively simple, and if everything goes well, it should not be a problem.

If Nina Dubrev is aging faster than she thinks, it's not without other options, and the aesthetic surgery facility at Beverly Hills has the best technology and drugs in the world.

As he knew before, among the well-known actresses in Hollywood today, there are almost no who have not done a microfacelift.

Back at Horner Manor, another different kind of gymnastics performance is inevitable, and now there is a chance to be a heroine, Nina Dubov believes that the previous investment has been rewarded with great value, and the gymnastics performance is naturally full of tricks.

She seems to have resumed some gymnastics training, and many incredible movements are extremely skillful, and Matthew is happy to enjoy them.

In the following days, Matthew would go to Disney Studios every day, but the subsequent auditions were not re-attended, but were completely handed over to the producers and directors of the two crews, because of the filming of "Fast and Furious 4" and the possibility of taking on the role of Duke in "Special Forces", he increased his previous weekly training routine a little, and went to the gun club three times a month to twice a week.

These are all preparations for future shooting, with his current acting skills, it is basically no problem to deal with the roles of these commercial films, and action scenes have become the main focus.

Although he is very self-aware and rarely participates in the specific affairs of the crew, so as not to bring trouble instead of help, Matthew fully understands the movements of the crew, and the information of the two crews can be transmitted to him as soon as possible.

The cast of "Fast and Furious 4" has ended the auditions of all the actors, and the action director has gathered all the main actors, including him, to participate in pre-shoot training, which does not seek to equip the actors with practical abilities such as real driving and racing, but strives to pose in front of the camera with a sense of realism, and to understand the dangers and self-protection.

The protection of actors, even if they are extras, will not be ignored by any crew.

Matthew, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Daniel Wu and Gal Gadot will make up Fast & Furious 4's first drag racing team and will bring the concept of "we're tired of logging."

Black characters won't join until Fast & Furious 5 at the earliest, and then form a super movie family of multi-ethnic characters.

However, what is the reality of the United States, there must be harmony and beauty between the multi-ethnic groups in the movie.

As for the villains of "Fast and Furious 4", the bearded Jack and Justin Lin decided to use a veteran actor in Hollywood who often plays the role of villain.

This is a more prudent choice, and Matthew certainly wouldn't object to it.

In terms of the crew of "Twilight", the actor auditions are still in progress, and the auditions for the actress and supporting actress have been completed, and the final winners are Nina Dubrev and Lily Collins, who are not the best actors in the audition, but they have the advantage of being good-looking, plus the acting skills also meet the basic requirements of the crew, Sean Daniel and Sofia Coppola also naturally chose these two people.

In the audition for the leading actor, Sofia Coppola fell in love with a young actor named Liam Hemsworth, who had just come to Los Angeles from Australia, and his appearance was not bad, but unfortunately his resume was a little thinner, not much different from Nina Dubrev.

The crew temporarily set him as the first candidate, and whether he can get the leading actor in the end depends on whether there is a more suitable candidate in the future.

In mid-January, the Hollywood writers' strike continued, which has affected the Oscars, which did not hold a nominee luncheon and directly announced the list of nominees.

Previously, Warner Bros. applied for a series of nominations for "I Am Legend", including Best Actor, and since Matthew did not conduct any public relations, of course he was not on the list of nominees for Best Actor, and "I Am Legend" was only a dispensable nomination for Best Makeup.

Shortly after the Oscar nominations were announced, the media broke the heavyweight news of a Hollywood actor.
