Next to the long bar counter of the Black Mamba Bar, Matthew picked up a cocktail and took a sip, feeling sweet and sour, but he knew that this was the appearance, this well-made cocktail, the stamina was very large, with his decent amount of alcohol, a few glasses poured into his stomach, and it was estimated that he would soon lie down.

Bang –

The sound of wine glasses falling on the bar was heard next to him, and Matthew turned his head to see that Charlize Theron had already drained a glass of the same cocktail, and said to Johnny Depp on the other side of the bar, "Depp, have another drink." ”

Matthew and Johnny Depp left the reception early and came to the Black Mamba for a drink, and then met Charlize Theron, who was sitting alone at the bar and drinking, and both knew each other and got together.

Johnny Depp didn't say much and gave Charlize Theron another cocktail made by himself.

Charlize Theron picked it up, put it in his mouth, took out his cigarette and lighter, lit a cigarette, and then motioned to Matthew.

Matthew shook his head, and Charlize Theron spat out a smoke ring and said, "I almost forgot, you don't smoke." ”

They had drunk here a few times and knew a little bit about it.

Charlize Theron beckoned to Johnny Depp, "Depp, have another drink!"

"Isn't the free wine particularly delicious?" Johnny Depp muttered as he poured Charlize Theron another glass, "I'm still too hospitable." ”

Matthew pointed at him, "Aren't you welcome Sally?"

Johnny Depp straightened his face, "Of course you're welcome! ”

That being said, Matthew actually knows very well that this guy Johnny Depp is hospitable and generous, and people like them come to the bar for drinks, and he has always been the one who treats them.

There was a strong smell of smoke from the side, and Matthew turned his head to look, Charlize Theron was obviously not in a good mood, in fact, except for asking for alcohol, she basically didn't speak.

"What's wrong?" said Matthew, on his own initiative, "Something upset?"

Charlize Theron glanced at him and nodded, "There are so many things to worry about. ”

Matthew looked at her and said, "Your figure has basically recovered, shouldn't it be because of this?"

The last time he met Charlize Theron, she was preparing for a new film, and she had gained weight several times, and now she was almost back to the way she looked when she first saw her.

Charlize Theron shrugged, "Women's troubles, you won't understand it either. ”

Matthew saw that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more, after all, the two had only drunk a few times.

The door to the bar opened from the outside, and a handsome-looking man walked in, his eyes roaming around the bar, and then landed on Charlize Theron, who quickly walked towards the bar.

As the man got closer, Matthew heard footsteps, glanced back, and saw him staring at Charlize Theron, reminding, "Sally, it looks like someone is coming looking for you." ”

Charlize Theron turned her head and looked over at the handsome man.

Matthew suddenly found that Charlize Theron, who was originally calm and even a little cold, had a little more panic on his face.

The man walked over, didn't say a word, grabbed Charlize Theron's arm, and said gloomily, "Didn't you understand what I said?

As he spoke, he dragged Charlize Theron to the door of the bar, and as if she had done something wrong, she whispered, "Sorry, I just came over for a drink!"

"Isn't there any wine in the house for you to drink?" the man's voice rose abruptly, "You're coming to this kind of place!"

Matthew stood up and looked over there, judging from the conversation between the two, the man should be her boyfriend.

Johnny Depp walked around the bar, walked over, and said to the other side, "Stuart Townsender, what's wrong with a place like mine? Sally can't come to her friend's bar for a drink?"

The man named Stuart Townsend ignored Johnny Depp at all, dragged Charlize Theron out, Johnny Depp was a little helpless, but still followed, Matthew thought about it and walked over.

Ahead of the scenes, Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron, were the first to get out of the bar, followed by Matthew and Johnny Depp.

"What's going on?" Matthew was a little confused.

Johnny Depp simply explained, "This man has a bit of a psychological problem, and he is not very good for Charlize Theron. ”

The two went out of the bar and saw Stuart Townsend and Charlize Theron getting into a car, the car did not start immediately, Matthew was standing at the door of the bar, and from this angle, he could faintly see that the two people in the car seemed to have a verbal conflict.

But what Matthew didn't expect was that Stuart Townsend actually raised his hand and slapped Charlize Theron!

Due to the distance, Matthew and Depp could only watch the car and then start away.

Matthew frowned, "How so?"

Charlize Theron gives him the feeling that she has always been a strong and independent woman, and she also has a strong aura, and now it seems that these are all acquired packaging.

Johnny Depp shook his head, "Sally is now a prisoner trapped in a love cage." ”

It's hard for outsiders to say anything about this kind of thing, Matthew and Depp watched the car disappear and returned to the bar, but the two lost their nature of drinking, chatted for a while, and left the bar one after another.

In the following days, Matthew returned to his previous regular life, focusing more on preparing for "Dawn of the Living Dead", and also paid attention to Charlize Theron's dynamics, whether it was on the Internet or in the gossip tabloid reports, I didn't see the news of Charlize Theron breaking up with her boyfriend, but in some of the latest daily small gossip news released by TMZ, I saw Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend going on vacation to Europe together.

Seeing such news, he could only sigh secretly, everyone has their own way of living.

Matthew also communicated with him about this when he was on the phone with De, and in Depp's words, Stuart Townsend was spending Charlize Theron's money to pour Charlize Theron ecstasy soup again.

Johnny Depp mentioned that he and Keanu Reeves have actually reminded Charlize Theron more than once, but the woman who is trapped in the cage of love can't listen to this at all, and besides, they are just friends with Charlize Theron, and it is impossible to say much.

Anyway, after listening to Johnny Depp's description, Matthew left a very bad impression of Stuart Townsend, and in the words of the past, this person is a bit like eating soft rice.

However, he also thinks about it, after all, when it comes to his friendship with Charlize Theron, he is far inferior to Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves.

Matthew is preparing for the role, and there is also new news coming from the crew of "Dawn of the Living Dead", Sean Daniel and Zack Schneider have confirmed the heroine of the film, that is, the supporting actress with the heaviest role in Matthew's mouth.

The crew chose Jessica Alba, the heroine of "Black Angel of the Last Days" executive produced by James Cameron, as the actor for this role. ”

Hearing Helen Herman's words, Matthew suddenly remembered something, "I've seen this Jessica Alba at the Staples Center, and her skin color is ...... Doesn't Sean mind?"

"Jessica Alba is just a Latina. Helen Herman apparently paid attention to that as well, "You forget that Sean is just prejudiced against people of African descent. ”

Matthew nodded, "That's right." ”

Helen Herman waved her hand, "It doesn't matter who the heroine is, it just plays the role of a vase, this play is completely about you." ”

"I know. "Matthew has talked to Zack Schneider a few times recently, one is to prepare for the filming, and the other is to naturally bring the two people closer," Zach seems to have some unique opinions on action scenes and film images, but most of them are vetoed by Sean. ”

Helen Herman looked at Matthew curiously, "Zack Schneider seems to have something to say to you?"

Matthew casually said, "We have a lot of the same opinions about movies. ”

Helen Herman scoffed, "What would you think?"

"Don't underestimate people, okay?" said Matthew, who seemed to have a really unique insight, "He and I both think that the film can use a thick color like an oil painting, and the action shots can be shot in high-speed slow motion, showing the audience every detail of the action and every trace of blood rushing out." ”

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said, "Sean won't agree." ”

"yes, Sean is a relatively conservative producer. "After Matthew has been mixed up for a few years, he has seen very clearly that conservative has never been a derogatory term for Hollywood commercial films, and innovation is what production companies don't like," so Zack Schneider will only use a little bit appropriately, how this film is made, and the right to speak is in Sean's hands. ”

As an advertising director who has just entered the film industry, let alone the producer of Sean Daniel, even Matthew, the leading actor, is far above Zack Schneider in terms of salary and crew status.

Once the amount of investment is large, even if a new director is a peerless genius, it is impossible to get much power in an environment like Hollywood.

Basically, they are all shooting directors on the set.

Fortunately, although Zack Schneider does not have post-editing rights, he is not completely excluded from post-production, and will still participate in post-editing, but power can only be said to be better than nothing.

In the next two days, the "Dawn of the Living Dead" crew quickly finalized the rest of the cast, in addition to Matthew and Alexandra Daddario, who had already passed the audition, Helen Herman's angel agency, and a large number of ordinary actors entered the crew to play some small supporting roles and important zombies and the like.

Before the end of the month, Matthew also came to the crew to report and went to Toronto to shoot with the crew.
