Following a burly bodyguard, Ronan Farrow entered a private clubhouse in Beverly Hills, circled down the long hallway, came to a reception room, and waited for the bodyguard to open the door and follow him inside.

There weren't many people in the reception room, except for Matthew Horner himself, and the head of the bodyguard he had seen.

"Hello, Mr. Horner. Ronan Farrow knew that the identities of the two sides were not equal, and quickly introduced himself, "My name is Ronan Farrow, and I am a reporter from The New Yorker. ”

Matthew nodded at him, "Hello, Mr. Farrow. He pointed to the couch next to Brown Williams and said, "Please be seated." ”

Ronan Farrow went over and sat down, and unconsciously glanced at Brown Williams sitting next to him, he was not stupid, and he could see that Matthew Horner had a good attitude, but he was vigilant and specially asked him to sit next to the bodyguard.

He didn't care, no matter who he was replaced, he would become vigilant after such a serious shooting.

Matthew asked politely, "Do you have something you want to tell me about the director of the sequel to "Special Forces"?"

"Yes. "Ronan Farrow knows that in the face of such a big shot, it has to show sincerity," I got the news that Paramount Pictures wants to remove director Stephen Sommers and use a man named Jon Chu as the director of the sequel. ”

Matthew nodded, "I've gotten the news." ”

"I wonder what you're planning?" Ronan Farrow asked anxiously.

As soon as he finished asking, he knew that he had lost his words, so he quickly calmed down and explained with a smile, "As we all know, Mr. Horner is friends with director Stephen Sommers, and he became famous when he first debuted in films directed by Stephen Sommers, Mr. Horner has a close relationship with director Stephen Sommers, and he won't watch Director Stephen Sommers be kicked out by Paramount Pictures, right?"

"Oh?" Matthew could see that this Ronan Farrow had other intentions for him, "You know director Stephen Sommers?"

Ronan Farrow shook his head, "I don't know, I've never seen one. ”

Matthew looked at him, but didn't speak.

Ronan Farrow felt the pressure and added, "I know Jon Chu. ”

Hearing this, Matthew immediately made a judgment, "You have a grudge against Jon Zhu?"

"So to speak. Ronan Farrow thought about the wording and then said, "I don't want to see Jon Zhu become the director of such a high-profile project." ”

He looked at Matthew, "I believe that on this point, I am on the same page as Mr. Horner's. ”

After a period of adaptation, Ronan Farrow expressed more and more clearly, "Presumably Mr. Horner is not willing to let such an unqualified rookie director become the director of the film you starred in, right?"

That's right, and it's very similar to Matthew's previous agreement with Helen Herman.

However, instead of answering, Matthew asked, "Are you sure I'm going to support director Stephen Sommos?"

Ronan Farrow wasn't sure about this, so he came to the door, but he wouldn't admit it, and said with a smile, "I've studied your resume, Mr. Horner, and found that many people have a very deep misunderstanding of you. ”

Matthew raised an eyebrow slightly, "Really?"

"Yes!" Ronan Farrow, a journalist with his own analysis of people and things, "Many people have only seen you step on your competitors all the way to the height you are standing at the height you are now, but they have never seen your attitude towards your friends." ”

He gradually increased the speed of his speech, "Mr. Horner treats his friends with affection and righteousness, as long as he can help his friends, you will take the initiative to help, I have especially analyzed, you treat the friends you met before you became famous and the people who have helped you, you are ...... Whatever you say, it will give them a reward that far exceeds what they give. ”

"Like Sean Daniel, director and producer Stephen Sommers who has promoted you in the 'Mummy' series and 'The Scorpion King'. "Ronan Farrow came over this time and made full preparations," Sean Daniel's career has fallen into a trough in the past two years, and no film company is willing to use him anymore, it is you Mr. Horner who hired Sean Daniel to be the producer of the "Twilight" series when he needed help the most. ”

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow, but didn't speak.

Because these are basically facts, when Sean Daniel was hired, on the one hand, he felt that his ability was fine, and on the other hand, he may not have the intention of pulling him.

After all, Sean Daniel and Stephen Sommers chose him as the Scorpion King, which really made him take a key step towards fame.

Ronan Farrow continued, "According to the news reported in the media, Mr. Horner's appearance in "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" was first officially invited by director Stephen Sommers. ”

There was a compliment in his tone, "Someone like Mr. Horner who has affection for his friends certainly wouldn't sit idly by and watch director Stephen Sommers be squeezed out by a rookie director like Jon Chuo." ”

Matthew smiled, this was the first time someone had clearly told him in front of him that he was a sentient and righteous person.

"I've always been a good person. ”

The thought flashed through his head, but he asked, "Tell me about you, what kind of vendetta do you have with Jon Zhu?"

Ronan Farrow breathed a sigh of relief to hear Matthew ask, and while he wasn't sure if Matthew was really on Stephen Sommers' side, the question was already a little biased.

Matthew Horner took the initiative to be on Stephen Sommers' side, which is naturally the most ideal.

Ronan Farrow groaned a little and said, "I don't like Jon Zhu a lot. ”

Matthew smiled and shook his head, is this also a reason?

"Because Jon Zhu was recommended to Paramount Pictures by Woody Allen, it could even be said that Jon Zhu was a student of Woody Allen. "Ronan Farrow knows it's useless to talk about some nonsense at this point, so he just tells the truth," Woody Allen likes to admire Jon Chu. ”

Hatred suddenly flashed in his eyes, "What Woody Allen likes, I hate!"

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow with doubts in his eyes, this young man seems to have a lot of grudge against Woody Allen, could it be that Woody Allen his sister?

Ronan Farrow then explained, "My mother is Mia Farrow. ”

Hearing this name, Matthew suddenly realized that Woody Allen really the young reporter's sister.

Matthew nodded slowly, "I see." ”

The feud between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow is well known in Hollywood, and of course he has heard that it is normal for Mia Farrow's son to hate Woody Allen as a father.

The intricate ethical relationship between this family is not clear in a TV series, and Matthew didn't ask much, just said casually, "Woody Allen is your father after all." ”

"I don't have a father like that. Ronan Farrow suddenly became expressionless, "Woody Allen should go to jail! All the bastards who force women to have sex should be sent to jail to sit in the electric chair!"

Matthew looked at Ronan Farrow and suddenly felt that the young reporter was a little interesting.

The son of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, who has been influenced by his mother since he was a child, it is estimated that it is not uncommon for Woody Allen to force women......

Woody Allen has certainly paid a lot of attention over the years, but there was a lot more mess in Hollywood in the eighties and nineties than there is now.

Could this Ronan Farrow be a person who, because of his bad father, has led his mind and personality to an extreme in one aspect?

Thinking of this, Matthew didn't say much, just said lightly, "Mr. Farrow, I understand what you mean. ”

Ronan Farrow has his own judgment and feels that Matthew will support Stephen Sommers.

Matthew said again, "That's it, you leave your contact information, and I'll call you if I need your help in the future." ”

Ronan Farrow hurriedly took out his business card, handed it to Brown Williams, and said, "Mr. Horner, if Jon Zhu is out, you can contact me if you can use me in the future." ”

"I will. Matthew smiled and nodded to Ronan Farrow.

Ronan Farrow said no more and left the place.

"Keep this person's contact information. Matthew stood up, also ready to go, and said to Brown Williams, "Talk to Amanda and Helen Herman and ask them to look up this Ronan Farrow, in more detail." ”

Brown Williams put away the business card and replied, "Yes, I'll contact them." ”

Just two days later, Helen Herman and Amanda each sent a detailed copy of Ronan Farrow, a young man like no other.

Matthew has an eye on Ronan Farrow, but there are some things that don't come at the right time at the moment, and he has Stephen Sommos and the Special Forces sequel to take care of.

Helen Herman negotiated the first sequel with Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, and in addition to the salary, the most important thing was to make a condition on behalf of Matthew: if he continues to star in the sequel, he must maintain the stability of the main creative team of the crew, and Stephen Sommers is the most suitable director.

This condition undoubtedly sends a signal to Paramount Pictures and Hasbro that Matthew and Stephen Sommers are advancing and retreating together.

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro will either keep Stephen Sommos or change both the actor and director.

In addition, he specifically asked people to inquire about Jon Zhu, a rookie director who has no qualifications to get a shot other than the Woody Allen Video Award.

If there is a relatively safe director, why would he risk working with such a newcomer?

In the face of Matthew's conditions, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro did not reply for the time being, telling Helen Herman that they would consider it before making a decision.

Matthew didn't have time to drag on them, so he immediately greeted Elena Boyard and asked TMZ to reveal that Paramount Pictures and Hasbro were going to change the director and actor in the "Special Forces" sequel.
