At the end of the day's shooting, Matthew went back to the dressing room to remove his makeup, and just after changing back into his clothes, Bella Anderson knocked on the door and walked in.

"David said to talk to you. She said to Matthew.

Matthew frowned slightly, "What is David looking for me to do? Isn't he going to work as a producer on the Harry Potter crew?"

Bella Anderson whispered, "It could be a new movie." ”

"Oh?" Matthew instantly thought of the "Harry Potter" series, David Heyman is about to go to the "Harry Potter" crew as a producer, is he trying to pull him to star in this series?

It shouldn't be, in the few "Harry Potter" films that have been released, it is obvious that except for the Gryffindor Golden Triangle, there are no other roles worthy of the protagonist, and except for Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, the salary of others is relatively low by his standards.

Matthew packed his bag, put it on his back, pulled open the door, and walked in first, followed by Bella Anderson, and the two had just walked around the corner of the corridor to see David waiting here.

He knew Matthew very well, and he didn't talk too much, and invited Matthew directly to his temporary office.

"Listen to Bella, you have something to do with me?" Matthew asked directly after sitting down.

David personally gave Matthew a cup of coffee and didn't go around in circles, saying, "Warner Bros. is interested in inviting you to star in a new production." ”

Matthew took the coffee, thanked him first, and then asked tentatively, "It's not going to be the new Harry Potter, is it?"

"Are you interested in playing Lord Voldemort?" said David with a deliberate joke, "The Harry Potter crew can't afford your pay." ”

Matthew, of course, could hear it was a joke, but just smiled.

David walked to his desk, pulled open the drawer, took out a script, handed it to Matthew, and said, "For the time being, there is only the script, the relevant planning budget has just begun, you can read the script first." ”

Matthew took the script, and the name on the cover of this book was a bit strange, called "He Came Tonight", which looked a lot like the name of some romantic action movie.

Of course, Warner Bros. couldn't give him a book of romantic action movies.

Seeing Matthew open the script, David said again, "This script has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and has been in the script libraries of many film companies. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, and quickly skimmed through the script.

David Heyman continued, "Aziva Gossman bought the script at a low price last year, and then recommended it to Warner Bros., Warner Bros. review committee passed the project approval, and the film production department was ready to invest in the production of this film, whether it was Aziva Gossman or Warner Bros., they all had the same opinion on the choice of the leading actor. ”

He looked at Matthew, "This actor is none other than you." ”

Matthew just flipped through the script and didn't mean to answer for the time being.

The storyline of this script seems to be a bit impressive, as if he has ever seen such a film, and he reads the script while searching for memories that have been left to the present.

David also stopped talking and kept his mouth shut, and there was actually another layer of consideration that Warner Bros. asked him, who was about to go to the crew of "Harry Potter", to Matthew Horner, instead of Aziva Gosman, who was necessarily the producer of this new screenplay project.

From the rumors inside and outside the circle, to the facts in front of him, all prove Matthew Horner's vision for film selection, before he came, one of Warner's film directors revealed that if Matthew Horner is still interested in this project, then follow-up planning and budget review will be carried out, if Matthew Horner directly refuses, Warner Brothers will re-evaluate the future prospects of this project.

The script, like most Hollywood scripts, is only about 100 pages long, and the more Matthew looks back, the more familiar he feels, and he must have seen the relevant films, but the hellish name "He Came Tonight" has no impression at all.

Like "I Am Legend", when he saw the script, he simply flipped through it, and remembered the film starring Will Smith......

Will Smith?

Matthew thought of the trick and immediately found the relevant memory, isn't this the film about Superman starring Will Smith? What is the name? It seems that the Chinese translation at that time was called "Superman for All".

With the impression, he remembered more, and if memory serves, the heroine of this film should be Charlize Theron.

Combined with his memory, Matthew quickly skimmed through the script from beginning to end, and the various scenes were connected in his head, and the main plot was there.

Superman Hancock, who doesn't play his cards according to the rules, becomes a tricky character in the hearts of the citizens after getting into a lot of trouble. In order to regain the hearts and minds of the people, Superman decides to find a new publicist to deal with the crisis and improve his public image. Just as a wonderful spark sparked between the two, Superman realized that his superpowers were gradually declining, and then joined forces with Superwoman Marie to fight against a group of villains who were about to be released from prison to take revenge on him.

The story, as always, meets the needs of Hollywood's big productions, simplifying, routine, patterned and commercialized.

Of course, this is not a routine at all with manga superhero movies.

The script doesn't follow the usual routine of comic book films, focusing on how Hancock acquired his superpowers and how he used them.

On the contrary, Hancock appears as an ordinary person, a man who has encountered a career bottleneck, hates his job, and wants to leave it immediately. His superpowers are no longer a lucky gift, but instead cause him a lot of trouble, causing the masses who should be his super fans to move away from him.

To put it simply, many of Hancock's actions are extremely destructive and irresponsible.

There should be no mistake, Matthew is 90% sure that this is the film that used to be in the heyday of Will Smith.

Will Smith is the quintessential commercial box office superstar, and the box office of films in his heyday must have been bad, so to speak......

Matthew closed the script and didn't speak immediately, but lowered his head and thought about it.

has already snatched Will Smith's "I Am a Legend", and it is nothing to grab another one, he will not have a psychological burden, and the famous Smiths and his wife hacked him once some time ago.

This can also be considered a small revenge.

And during this time period, "Spartan 300 Warriors" was a super hit at the box office, and it is estimated that Warner Bros. is very optimistic about his market appeal, so David took the initiative to come to the door.

That...... How much should I be paid?

This kind of question is still left to Helen Herman to negotiate, and with Helen Herman's professionalism, he will definitely negotiate an ideal number.

Matthew was not in a hurry, and then asked, "Has the director of the project been decided?"

David thought for a moment and said, "Aziva Gossman has Peter Borg as the director. ”

Matthew nodded, understanding why those two people were always looking at themselves today.

"What do you mean?" asked David.

"Well......" Matthew, of course, would not be stupid enough to respond directly, "you guys send the plans and budgets to the angel agency, and I'll call Helen Herman and ask her to talk to Warner Bros. ”

David seemed a little interested when he heard that Matthew didn't refuse, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go back and call Warner Bros. Films." ”

Matthew picked up the script and gestured, "Script ......"

"You can keep it. David also advised, "Don't leak the news for now. ”

Matthew still has this bit of professionalism, nodded and said, "No problem." ”

He stood up and shook hands with David Heyman, and before leaving, asked, "When are you going to London?"

David smiled and said, "Depart after Christmas, come to London to see me sometime, and I'll introduce you to the Gryffindor Golden Triangle and Voldemort." ”

Matthew remembered the three kids he had met, "I've known the Gryffindor Golden Triangle for a long time, and I've had a few conversations with Emma Watson. ”

"Hmm. David replied, "A very smart and precocious girl." ”

After a few more conversations, Matthew left his temporary office, joined Bella Anderson out of the studio, took a battery car to the front of Warner Studios, and changed to a car back to Beverly Hills.

On the way back, he made a special phone call to Helen Herman to tell him about the situation.

Helen Herman hasn't finished negotiations with the Transformers crew yet, but Angel Agency now has a team for Matthew that is good enough to handle the negotiations to start two projects at the same time.

And Helen Herman's negotiations with DreamWorks have come to an end, and the salary is basically agreed, and Matthew will participate in Megatron's voice acting for a week, with a salary of up to $6 million.

The rest of the negotiations is about Matthew's participation in the announcement of the film "Transformers".

The $6 million salary is not only the remuneration for dubbing, but also the remuneration for Matthew to directly participate in various promotional activities of the film.

Three days later, Helen Herman officially negotiated with DreamWorks that in addition to the salary, the most important publicity part, all the crew's promotional plans for Matthew's part, must be greeted by Matthew a week in advance, and can only be implemented after approval.

Of course, the crew can find a way to borrow Matthew's huge popularity to gain attention.

With Matthew signing a formal deal with the Transformers crew, he also arrives in DreamWorks' post-production studio to prepare to become Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons.
