Following Amber Heard's gaze, Matthew looked over and McKenzie Foy was chatting with another small actor in the crew, no matter how you look at it, this is a very cute and cute girl.

"It was lovely. Matthew nodded.

Such a girl is sure to attract a lot of viewers, and maybe it will be the next Dakota Fanning.

Although Dakota Fanning grew up to be a bit mediocre, he was brilliant when he was a child, and he is still one of the few child stars who really has market appeal.

Matthew hopes that McKenzie Foy will also bring some audience in "The Conjuring".

But Amber Heard's thoughts were noticeably different, and she leaned in and whispered, "Do you want me to find a day and bring McKenzie Foye to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Matthew instantly frowned and warned, "Amber, what are you thinking?"

What are you kidding, this kind of thing can't even be touched, the consequences are so serious, let alone him, and Spielberg or George Lucas and others can't afford it either.

"I ......" Amber Heard originally wanted to curry favor with Matthew, but she didn't expect Matthew to react so much.

Matthew shook his head, "Alright, you go to work." ”

Amber Heard didn't move, "I'm ...... Am I saying the wrong thing?"

Matthew said casually, "It's okay. His voice then turned stern, "Don't say that again." ”

Amber Heard nodded hurriedly, "I see." ”

Matthew waved his hand, "Go to work." ”

Amber Heard nodded again and left the side.

Matthew didn't even think about Amber Heard's proposal and quickly threw it to the back of his mind.

The degree of protection and importance attached to children in civilized society is well known, and there is a consensus from the government, social welfare institutions, judicial organs and the public that whenever children's rights are violated, they will rush out to defend children's rights and interests.

In this regard, violations of the relevant laws will be subject to severe legal sanctions.

Roman Polanski is a case in point.

It doesn't matter if you make some mistakes ten or twenty times, and some mistakes can be undone just once.

With the foundation laid by the previous "Latent", the filming and production of "The Conjuring" went relatively smoothly, and Matthew was also confident in James Win's ability.

Moreover, even if "The Conjuring" increases its production budget to $15 million, it can only be regarded as a small production in his current investment.

In contrast, the hard sci-fi project "The Martian" is enough to reach the threshold of Hollywood's first-line production.

"Matthew, you know, sci-fi films want to shoot better, and large-scale budgets are indispensable. ”

On a Disney studio studio, Ridley Scott told Matthew, "A budget of $100 million is the lowest, and I can't guarantee the film if it's lower." ”

Matthew responded, "A $100 million production budget is fine. ”

Although he can invest more, as an investor, he must consider the investment-to-profit ratio, and he can make additional investments at any time without worrying about the lack of funds causing the film to be rough.

With this $100 million investment, he's got Bella Anderson ready.

Last year, after "Fast and Furious 5" went offline, a total of 3.536 million DVDs and Blu-ray discs were sold in North America, and the share of this part alone was as high as $80 million, plus the TV and online rights of the film have also been received, which is enough to invest in the "Martian" project.

Matthew is psychologically prepared for investment, real sci-fi films are all money-burning works, and you can't let the protagonist brag and then advertise himself as a sci-fi film, right?

Ridley Scott added, "The film will start shooting in the second half of the year, and there's a lot of preparation work right now, so you'd better watch it." ”

"Okay. Matthew didn't shirk.

He is not only the actor of this film, but also an investor and producer.

This film has been in preparation since last year, and now a lot of preparations are underway, and some crews have taken the initiative to contact them and have achieved good results.

The project has received the full support of NASA, which has been very supportive of the film, allowing the crew to go to multiple NASA bases for on-site shooting, and the crew has completed 50 pages of the script about NASA, so as to ensure that the image and actions of the astronauts presented in the film are in line with the facts.

Ridley Scott planned a total of about 70 shooting periods for the film, including 21 days to shoot NASA's detailed content.

NASA's support can save the crew a lot of trouble for filming.

For example, NASA provided a lot of scientific and technological support for the crew, and pointed out some unscientific aspects of the original work, and the crew also appropriately revised the script to ensure that it was more complex with scientific reality.

According to the people on NASA's side, the mission that the heroes carry out on Mars is actually one of the Mars plans they plan to implement in the future.

This can only be said to be a coincidence.

However, the crew's spacesuit, which was designed based on NASA's spacesuit, was rejected by both Matthew and Ridley Scott, and the real-life spacesuit is huge and bulky, just like the clothes worn by Buzz Lightyear in "Toy Story".

Neither Matthew nor Ridley Scott liked such clothes and sent them back for the costumer to redesign, asking for more practicality and aesthetics to be added to the reference to a realistic spacesuit.

Although this is a hard science fiction movie, it is a commercial movie after all.

From the beginning of this year to early February, Ridley Scott led a team to overseas to investigate a lot of desert areas, trying to find a location suitable for filming Martian surface scenes.

They then went to Jordan to inspect the famous "Rose Desert" Wadi Rum, which was quickly vetoed.

The Middle East is even more chaotic, and it seems that there is an organization called IS that is making trouble recently, and Westerners are really not safe there.

In the end, after several investigations, the crew decided to shoot in a desert and desert combination area in Queensland, Australia.

Moreover, filming here, you can also win the support of the local government, and Queensland also has film tax rebates, and the crew is negotiating there in order to get the maximum tax rebate amount.

A crew like this can bring hundreds of job opportunities to the local area.

Some of the interior scenes will also be filmed in Queensland, and the crew has rented a local studio, and Ridley Scott plans to open up a small field in the studio to grow potatoes in order to pursue realistic effects, and grow them completely naturally, which is used to shoot the scene where the actor grows food on Mars to survive.

In terms of the distribution of this film, Bella Anderson is negotiating with Walt Disney that if nothing else, it will be handed over to Disney for distribution.

"American Sniper" was distributed by Warner Bros., and Disney is undoubtedly more suitable for Disney than the film "The Martian".

The former would simply not appear in the film market on the other side of the Pacific, and it would not be possible to think about such a thing as passing the trial, and there was no way to cut it, and Matthew never thought that "American Sniper" would be released in theaters over there.

In contrast, "The Martian" is not a big problem to pass the review, and Disney's distribution there is more advantageous.

And Matthew has also discussed with Ridley Scott that he will add some elements from across the Pacific in the film, such as the space agency over there to provide necessary help.

There is also a female character who is neither light nor heavy.

He'd already said hello to Nini, and the role would basically be in her hands.

Matthew doesn't plan to develop more male-female relationships over there, after all, the divine beast is powerful, so it's better not to be targeted.

Of course, he will personally check all the scenes related to that side, so as not to make some low-level mistakes.

In fact, the big scissors over there will be more and more tolerant of commercial films, as long as they don't touch the most sensitive principles, it is not difficult to pass the review at all.

It is true that there is no clear standard for large scissors, but there are more general standards.

In addition, the crew is attracting investment across the Pacific in order to capture more product placement revenue.

At present, several large manufacturers are negotiating, and if all goes well, there may be a distribution mission of NASA on the Shenzhou spacecraft launched from the Long March rocket connected to the Inspur server with Lenovo computer terminals......

In terms of release schedule, next year's summer file may be a bit rushed, but it can't be set at the holiday file around Thanksgiving.

Finally, it's the casting of the crew.

Matthew has reserved a role for Lily Collins, and the rest will basically come from auditions.

The news of the preparation of this project has long been circulated, and the female character of Melissa Lewis has attracted a lot of attention in the circle, and people like Emma Adams, Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain have all recommended themselves to the crew.

Before the Oscars, Matthew gave an exclusive interview to The Hollywood Reporter, which highlighted "Fast and Furious 6" and "The Martian" that he will shoot this year.

Needless to say, the sequel to a blockbuster movie can naturally attract people's attention.

So, Matthew's focus is on The Martian, especially director Ridley Scott.

In the past two years, Ridley Scott has had too much trouble and has messed up several films in succession, causing the media and the industry to doubt him.

"To moviegoers around the world, Ridley is one of the most genre masters in film history. He has made extensive and determined explorations in the various genres of cinema, and his profound attainments and skillful skills have led to an extraordinary film career. Whether it is the span of genres or the depth, he has achieved brilliant results and made outstanding contributions to the enrichment and development of film genres. ”

Matthew made no secret of his admiration for Ridley Scott, "Especially in science fiction films, Ridley has put a lot of effort into it, from "Alien" to "Blade Runner", and then to this "The Martian", every science fiction movie of Ridley is bound to make fans talk. ”

At the end of February, Matthew, like much of Hollywood, turned his attention to the Oscars.
