"The movie is a dream that makes people indulge in light and shadow, and "Inception" is a dream within a dream, the plot of the movie is interlocking, the logic is rigorous and tense, and the movie duration of more than 130 minutes will not give people even a trace of mediocrity. ”

Sitting on the couch, looking at his actor son who is in his twenties and still has achieved nothing, Clint Eastwood said slowly, "As the leading actor, Matthew has shown the most wonderful acting skills in the movie. The best director, the best actors, the best story, only to have this best dream. ”

Scott Eastwood seemed to agree with his old man's words, saying, "A movie like "Inception" is good to see that even if you understand that it is playing tricks, you will not hesitate to give five stars!"

If "Inception" is not a good movie, I really don't know what a good movie is, he has also seen this film in the theater, and other aspects are not clear, but "Inception" is definitely the most wonderful movie he has seen this year, and even one of the best movies he has seen in the past five years.

Clint Eastwood suddenly sighed and said, "Matthew Horner is even better than I thought." ”

Scott Eastwood, who is also an actor, was a little uncomfortable when he heard his old man praise another actor in person, and said softly, "I admit that Inception is a masterpiece, a really ambitious blockbuster, sometimes it doesn't feel like a movie, it makes you enter another world, and the screen of the theater is like a dream in your head." In today's Hollywood, it's incredible......"

At this point, he suddenly took a turn for the worse, "But, it's Christopher Nolan who does this! Director Nolan is a director who balances business and art very well, and the ski chase and weightless fight in the action scenes are all great highlights, and the special effects are almost perfect." And all this, does it have anything to do with Matthew Horner?"

This question, from any aspect, sounds very reasonable, after all, it is the director and producer who control a film, and the performance of the actors or something is a secondary factor.

Clint Eastwood understood his son's thoughts, suddenly smiled, and said lightly, "Matthew Horner chose Christopher Nolan and "Inception" instead of films like "Alien Battlefield", and this alone is enough to show how powerful he is!"

Scott Eastwood was stunned, not quite understanding what his old man meant.

"An actor, especially a star-level actor. Clint Eastwood only explained, "The role choices he makes will directly determine his future success or failure!"

Hearing this, Scott Eastwood gradually understood, "Matthew Horner makes the right choice every time?"

Clint Eastwood nodded slightly, "It's also an ability, and it's a very powerful ability for an actor. ”

He worked as an actor in his early years, and later basically became a director, and he has a deep understanding of these.

"No one can tell whether a film is a success or a failure before it is released. Clint Eastwood knew he couldn't shelter his son for the rest of his life, which was also an education, "As the commander of the crew, or at least the commander of the shooting, the director has an advantage over the actor." ”

His voice is not loud, but he has a cowboy-like toughness, "An actor, if you want to make a prediction, you must start from multiple levels such as the director, producer, script, crew plan and crew team, conduct a comprehensive analysis, and then draw a judgment." ”

Scott Eastwood bared his teeth, "Not many people can do that, right?"

Clint Eastwood held out a hand and raised five fingers, "There are no more than five popular Hollywood actors who can do this, and Matthew Horner is the best of them." ”

Thinking that Matthew Horner has not yet failed in a starring film, Scott Eastwood's psychological discomfort disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't help but nod.

Although the motivation to climb up is seriously lacking due to the affluent life, there are still some basic understandings that have been nurtured by the family for a long time.

And as a typical second-generation star, he's not as jerky as Robert Downey Jr. or Angelina Jolie was when he was younger.

Clint Eastwood then said, "In case you don't know, Matthew Horner is working with Christopher Nolan this time, it's one of three at a time. ”

"One of the three?" Scott Eastwood asked curiously, "what are the other two options?"

Clint Eastwood said slowly, "One is the Wachowski brothers...... "Cloud Atlas" directed by the sister and brother, and the other is "Alien Battlefield" directed by Andrew Stanton. ”

Scott Eastwood's eyes widened, "What?"

At this moment, apart from surprise, he simply didn't know what to say.

"These two projects are also first-line commercial productions, and they also have the Wachowski brothers...... Sibling and Andrew Stanton. Crete Eastwood shook his head, "Originally, the preferred actor for the two projects was also Matthew Horner, but Matthew Horner voluntarily gave up these two projects after some investigation and competition, and then chose Christopher Nolan's "Inception". ”

Scott Eastwood came back to his senses and said, "If I'm not mistaken, "Cloud Atlas" and "Alien Battlefield" are both adaptations, and the original book itself is a relatively influential science fiction, if it were me, I would definitely choose an adapted movie instead of an original movie with huge risks." ”

Clint Eastwood nodded slightly, original commercial films have long since declined, especially in the field of big-budget mainstream commercial films.

"Not everyone can make such an informed choice. Clint Eastwood added, "Scott, Matthew Horner is not your average person. ”

Scott Eastwood nodded slightly, "So, Dad, you accepted his invitation?"

Clint Eastwood is not shy about his son, "Over the years, I have accumulated enough fame and prestige in films, but I am too old to direct a few films in the future, and choosing a random film may drag me down." ”

He touched his nose, "Matthew Horner's invitation is a very good choice, both to avoid the greatest possible risk and to pay off the favor I owe him." ”

Scott Eastwood knows that the older his old man gets, the more conservative he becomes, and for a conservative old director, Matthew Horner is indeed the first choice.

"I'll say hi to Matthew. Clint Eastwood suddenly said, "Fight for a major role in the film for you." ”

"I ......" Scott Eastwood opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

Compared with the second generation of famous stars in the circle, he is not a very rebellious type, and he knows that his father is thinking about him.

Clint Eastwood continued, "This film, with me and Matthew teaming up, has a chance of success of more than 80%, and the odds of a box office hit are also very high, and with the main characters of a successful commercial production as a foundation, your future will be much smoother." ”

Seeing that Scott Eastwood wanted to speak, Clint Eastwood raised his hand to stop him, and said, "I'm going to be eighty years old soon, and I can't shelter you for long, so you should go on your own." ”

Compared to the eldest son Kyle Eastwood, this son is a little unenterprising, he only had this son in his fifties, and it is inevitable that he will be a little pampered, and now Scott Eastwood is twenty-five years old, and he can't continue to be confused.

Scott Eastwood asked, "Will Matthew Horner agree?"

"I've always had a good relationship with Matthew. Clint Eastwood said calmly, "He'll still give me the old man's face for this little face." ”

He waved his hand, "You have time to read more of the autobiography of American Sniper." Also, pay more attention to Matthew's news. ”

Scott Eastwood nodded, and left Clint Eastwood's study.

When he came to the living room, he thought of what his father had just said, and was a little ashamed, although he was also a well-known actor, he was twenty-five years old and had not yet come out of Hollywood.

Matthew Horner is not a few years older than him, and the gap is indeed one in the sky and one in the ground.

If you really want to talk about resources, he is not known how many times better than Matthew Horner when he started, Clint Eastwood's son, who doesn't give some face? Look at Matthew Horner, a poor boy from Texas......

Thinking of this, Scott Eastwood was not jealous, but instead poured out a feeling of admiration, a person from such a background can climb to the position of a top superstar in Hollywood, and his ability is really strong!

Anyway, he definitely can't compare.

Not only him, just think about Matthew Horner's experience, think about the popular stars who are still active now, such as Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, etc., which of these people can compare to Matthew Horner?

The facts are very obvious, even he can see clearly, today's Hollywood male stars are divided into three groups, unknown actors, star actors...... and Matthew Horner!

Not only him, but also his father and several siblings, believe that Matthew Horner no longer belongs to the ranks of traditional Hollywood superstars.

Throughout the history of Hollywood, there is no other person who has been as successful as Matthew Horner.

As long as he succeeds, he will bring more capital, and more people like his father, Clint Eastwood, will be willing to follow him.

Scott Eastwood felt that Matthew Horner represented not a person, but a phenomenon called "success".

He has no doubt that Inception, which has already been officially released, will be a great success.
