Chapter 291: Rejected (Asking for Subscription)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
In front of the neat lawn of the huge manor house with a red villa in the style of a classic style, the crew set up a Steadicam photographer flashed out from behind the tree to capture the scenes of the three leading actors up close.
Matthew interlocked his fingers with Diane Crook and walked out of the woods laughing with Justin Barsha next to him.
“…… They want us to go to Treasure's inaugural exhibition in Cairo next week. Justin Basha said as he walked, "They'll send a private jet over." ”
Diane Kruger clasped Matthew's hand in one hand and a black notebook in the other, and said, "Sounds interesting. ”
Justin Barsha nodded, "They're going to send a big plane over!"
He turned to look at Matthew, and there was some dissatisfaction in his tone, "Ten percent, Ben! They wanted to give you ten percent, but you refused!"
Matthew was calm and said with a smile, "Reilly, we've already discussed, ten percent is too much for me, I can't accept it. ”
"Oh God! this is what we deserve. Justin Barsha reached over to Matthew, "a piece of broken wood stuck inside, causing my finger to fester. ”
Matthew paused and turned to Justin Barsha, "The next time we discover a treasure that can redefine human history, you'll get the Discoverer's Bonus." ”
"Sounds good, but what do you want?" Justin Barsha looked at Diane Kruger and suddenly realized, "You've got a good girl!"
Diane Kruger said generously, "That's true. ”
"Really?" Matthew reached out and wrapped his arms around Diane Kruger's waist and kissed him.
After the two kissed, Justin Basha said, "I don't envy you, I have it, ...... speed"
He got into the car while rambling, and then started the sports car, which drove at the gate of the manor.
"Stop!"
Director Joe Detdubar shouted to stop filming and took a loudspeaker from his assistant and announced loudly, "The filming of 'National Treasure' is over!"
Two have been filmed before, and this one is completed, and the filming work of the crew has come to an end.
The crew erupted in a jumble of screams, which lasted for a short time, and the guys had to clean up the set, after all, the estate was borrowed from a real estate agency.
At the end of the shooting, Matthew's hand also loosened Diane Kruger's waist, both of them were in modern attire, only wearing a layer of base makeup, and they were not in a hurry to remove the makeup.
"This property looks great. Matthew looked over at the villa, "I heard it's for sale." ”
Diane Kruger also looked over there, "Didn't you say you wanted to change houses the other day? She shrugged slightly, "Like me, you can only look at it." ”
Matthew really has this kind of consideration, this estate is said to cover an area of close to 3 acres, he has no concept of acres, before the start of filming, he once drove around with Justin Barsha in a battery car, at least more than 10,000 square meters, it is estimated that 10 million US dollars can not be taken at all.
Diane Kruger glanced at Matthew and said, "Didn't the media say that you were paid tens of millions of dollars for this film? ”
"Where there are so many. Matthew sighed, "I'm very poorly paid." ”
"You're underpaid, don't be kidding, Matthew. Diane Krueger shook her head and said, "I'm desperate for my salary compared to yours." ”
Although she starred in the super-blockbuster "Troy", the film has not yet been released, and there are no good works in Hollywood, and the crew only paid her $200,000.
Matthew reached out and patted Diane Kruger's arm lightly and said, "No way, this is the case in Hollywood now, it's not for you and me to change." ”
"Hollywood's sexism is too serious!" Diane Kruger seems to have been holding back for a long time, "No matter what kind of work an actor makes, what kind of means he uses to get a role, as long as he can succeed, people will be called a great artist!
She said angrily, "No matter how hard an actress works, even if she becomes a superstar, she is just a ...... in the eyes of the public."
The word that started with 'B' swirled around her mouth several times before finally spitting out, "Bitch!"
Probably realizing that her words were a bit excessive, Diane Kruger softened her tone and said, "I have seen a statistic that less than five percent of American films are directed by female directors, and these female directors usually make the heroine in the film appear stronger, but in the films of male directors, female characters are probably only playing the role of vases or green leaves, and the credit is almost always taken by male characters." ”
Matthew just smiled and didn't say much, in Hollywood, there is a serious ceiling phenomenon for women, and the highest degree that women can achieve is much lower than that of men.
This is an objectively existing situation, even in the whole of America, and it does not change because of one woman.
If this woman is still a vase actress from Germany, it is even more unlikely.
"Diane, you're a little too excited. Matthew saw that the crew around him was busy, and said, "Why don't I accompany you around here, it would be better to walk around." ”
Looking into the distance, Diane Kruger nodded lightly and stepped on the lawn towards the villa, followed by Matthew.
When Matthew arrived, Diane Kruger looked at the flat grass beneath her feet and asked, "Was I rude just now?"
"It's normal to complain a few words. Matthew gestured his hand and said, "The agent didn't get me 10 million ......."
At this point, he quickly changed his words, "I'm sorry, I mentioned something that upset you again." ”
Diane Kruger smiled, "It's okay. ”
Matthew stopped mentioning this aspect, and instead said, "The shooting is all done, and the work is over." He tried to invite, "Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner?"
Hearing this, a trace of vigilance flashed in Diane Kruger's eyes, Matthew Horner made a good impression on her in the work contact with the crew, and her personality was also very good, but the report in the media a while ago ......
It is not difficult for her to come to a conclusion, this is a playboy.
It's nice to be an ordinary friend with such a person, to chat and walk together, but go further......
Diane Kruger secretly shook her head and asked, "Why are you suddenly inviting me to dinner?"
"Have you forgotten?" Matthew pointed to the back of his head, "I hit you with my shoe last time in Washington, D.C., and I haven't apologized to you yet." ”
"Don't be so polite. Diane Kruger stopped and turned to look at Matthew, "Really, you don't have to. ”
She then deliberately said, "My husband is here, and I want to accompany him to explore the night view of Los Angeles in the evening." ”
Matthew couldn't understand the meaning of these words, and said, "I'm sorry, but I was too presumptuous. ”
Diane Kruger turned around and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to remove my makeup." ”
She strode toward the van trailer, followed by Matthew.
It was clear that Diane Kruger saw his intentions and firmly refused, Matthew was somewhat frustrated, but quickly returned to normal, he didn't know that Diane Kruger was married.
Matthew got into the makeup trailer and that frustration vanished without a trace, and he wasn't a dollar that everyone he met would like.
Besides, knowing that Diane Kruger is married, his mind is also light.
After removing his makeup, Matthew went to say hello to director Joe Detdurba, came to the parking area at the gate of the manor, drove away first, and before he was out of the range of Beverly Hills, he received a call from Helen Herman and went directly to the angel agency.
"I've already got a copy of the script for Aziva Gosman's project. ”
Inside the office, Helen Herman shoved a bound copy directly in front of Matthew and said, "Now that the filming of 'National Treasure' is done today, we can officially move on to the next job." ”
Matthew picked up the script and deliberately complained, "Please, I've just finished shooting the last shot, so I have to take a two-day break." ”
Helen Herman said lightly, "You can go back with the script in a while, and you can rest as much as you want." She pointed to the script in Matthew's hand, "You read it first, and we'll talk about the specific situation after reading it." ”
"Hmm. Matthew nodded and opened the script.
He didn't read very well, so he read it very slowly, and the script was concise and clear, unlike the last time I watched the script of "Escape from Clone Island", when I was confused at the beginning and couldn't figure out the situation at all.
This script can be described as clear at a glance, relying entirely on the dramatic conflict between the male and female protagonists to support the entire story structure, and after Matthew watched a third of it, he remembered a typical popcorn entertainment movie he had watched, and couldn't help but speed up the speed of reading the script.
After reading the script, Matthew quickly summed up the main plot of the script in his mind, as quickly as possible and in the most concise way.
To sum it up in one sentence, the script describes a spy husband and wife who, after a series of unexpected events, suddenly realize that they have been targeted for assassination, and the killers responsible for the assassination are actually each other, and finally they join forces to fight against their respective organizations.
Although there are no names on the script, and even the male and female protagonists are called by the code names "A" and "B", Matthew is very sure that this is the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" that made Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a shocking scandal.
Once, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie were three stars, and the gossip during "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was crazy to the other side of the Pacific.
But now that I think about it, behind this super gossip, there may not be no pusher.
