"I can't think of it, I can't think of ......"

Looking at Fox Sherman opposite, Matthew muttered in his heart, "Someone actually asked me to rub the heat." ”

Maybe he didn't think it was right, but Fox Sherman came to him, definitely not wanting a third-rate star to be the leading actor, but set his sights on next year, if he guessed correctly, the movie invested by Fox Sherman must be released after "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then he can use the money of a third-rate star to get far more than the third-rate publicity effect.

Pirates of the Caribbean does have the potential to fail, but Jerry Bruckheimer is the golden sign and the odds of success far outweigh failure in the eyes of the outside world.

Besides, business investments are risky.

Fox Sherman then said, "Matthew, I'm very sincere. ”

Matthew nodded, picked up the script in front of him, flipped through it, only read a few pages, frowned slightly, and accelerated the speed of flipping, the more he turned back, the more familiar the scene and plot description became, very similar to a film he had seen.

The heroine is a vampire, and the enemy is a werewolf, and the male protagonist is a special being who combines a werewolf and a vampire......

Isn't this the movie in which "Pearl Harbor" and "Van Helsing" heroine Kate Beckinsale starred in a werewolf and a vampire who fall in love and kill each other?

Thinking of the heroine, Matthew looked at the name on the script and asked, "Who plays Serena?"

"Kate Beckinsale. Fox Sherman laughed twice, "She can be considered a second-tier right now, and she is a perfect match for you." ”

"She. Matthew was still reading the script, "Can you wait for me for a while, I'll read the script first." ”

Fox Sherman said, "Yes. ”

Matthew didn't read fast, it took more than half an hour to roughly finish the script at a glance and ten lines, and the movie only vaguely remembered the heroine and werewolf and vampire in black leather clothes, and the rest really didn't leave any impression.

"Fox ......" Matthew closed the script and said bluntly, "Are you talking about the male lead being the character of Michael?"

"That's right!" Fox Sherman nodded, "it's Michael." ”

Matthew pushed the script back in front of Fox Sherman, "It's not the male lead, it's the supporting actor, right? It's completely a female protagonist, all the characters and the plot, all the characters are in the service of the heroine." ”

Fox Sherman took it for granted, "The role must be dominated by the heroine, otherwise how can you attract a star like Kate Beckinsale? ”

Hearing this, Matthew immediately woke up to the fact that he was thinking too much, "Van Helsing" has not been filmed yet, Kate Beckinsale's star career is unanimously optimistic in the industry, and is moving from the second line to the first line, as long as "Van Helsing" can be successful, the first-line actress is proper.

In that regard, Fox Sherman is not without reason.

The problem is that such a weak chicken character, who relies on the heroine for protection most of the time, is obviously inconsistent with his style and route.

Whether it is him, or Helen Herman as an agent, he is very clear about the future development path.

"Matthew!" Fox Sherman said at this time, "although the investment in this drama is not large, I can guarantee that the crew will pay you three million dollars!"

This salary figure, like a magnet, instantly attracted Matthew, who was only paid $2 million in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and had been preparing for auditions for so long, while this weak chicken actor, who was more like a supporting actor, could easily bring in $3 million.

Matthew is very tempted by three million dollars, and there are only two kinds of people who are not tempted by three million dollars, those whose assets are far more than three million dollars, and those who have their heads in water.

But the temptation does not mean that he will respond directly.

If it was three years ago, Matthew was still in the psychological state of a pure little person, and he would definitely say yes, but with the improvement of his status and the expansion of his horizons, his psychological state is slowly changing.

Winning these three million dollars may cost him ten million dollars in the future.

"Fawkes, there's no way I'm going to give you an answer right now. Matthew wasn't very interested in the script, and with Pirates of the Caribbean by his side, he was somewhat confident, "I can't take any work without the agent being there." ”

This is not an unwritten convention, but industry associations have clear provisions, and the California Talent Act also stipulates that actors must rely on their agents to get jobs.

"There's no rush on this. Fox Sherman pushed back the werewolf and vampire script, along with a business card, "You can talk to your agent and then give me an answer." ”

He finally deliberately said, "Matthew, I'm very sincere, if you are not satisfied with the salary, we can discuss it again." ”

Matthew nodded, picked up the script and business card, and said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible, I'll take the script first, except for the agent, I won't pass it on." ”

Fox Sherman looked generous, "I'm not going to worry, Matthew, we're old friends." ”

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and then walked out of the leisure and entertainment area together, Fox Sherman left the fitness club directly, Matthew went to say hello to Neborah, took a shower and changed clothes, did not continue training, and came directly to the angel agency with the script, according to the provisions of the brokerage contract, this kind of thing must be said hello to Helen Herman and let her know.

Matthew roughly explained the matter and put the script on Helen Herman's desk, "This is the script, you can read it first." ”

Helen Herman flipped through the script, and Matthew sat on the couch and waited patiently.

After a long time, Helen Herman roughly finished reading the script, raised her head and said, "This actor is not suitable for you, from the setting to the scene, everything is not suitable for you, unless it is greatly changed." ”

She said casually, "It's almost the same as reversing the roles of Michael and Serena." ”

Matthew continued, "The heroine is Kate Beckinsale. ”

"The heroine of Van Helsing?" Helen Herman shook her head, "She's much more famous and appealing than you, and it's unlikely that she will change her role." ”

"It shouldn't be possible. Matthew remembered something, "The last time I went to the Van Helsing set, I heard that Fox Sherman was pursuing Kate Beckinsale. ”

Helen Herman pushed the script back to Matthew, "Don't think about it, turn down that Fox Sherman." At the same time, she reminded, "Try to be tactful, listen to what you just said, this person has some ability." ”

In this highly commercialized society, financial resources are part of the capability.

Matthew picked up the script and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Helen Herman suddenly thought of something and called out to him.

"Wait. She pointed to the script in Matthew's hand, "There's a small role in Serena when she was a teenager, can you help me ask, is there a suitable actor?"

Matthew frowned slightly, "Is it appropriate?"

"Fox Sherman's intentions are clear, which is to borrow the fame that Pirates of the Caribbean may bring to you if it succeeds. Helen Herman sees the problem clearly, "According to you, he is an investor who has just come to Hollywood, has no roots in this circle, and an actor with obvious upward momentum like you is as valuable as Kate Beckinsale." ”

She was relieved, "Even if Fox Sherman rejects you, he won't mind." I don't think it's very likely that he will reject you if the role hasn't been decided on yet. ”

"Then I'll try. Matthew put away the script and asked, "Is it the girl Amanda brought in?"

"That's her. Helen Herman doesn't hide it either, "Her father was a federal prosecutor in New York and had a good relationship with Amanda's father." ”

Matthew understood, and said, "I'll call Fox Sherman tomorrow." ”

This kind of collusion between officials and businessmen is common all over the world.

The next morning, before Fox Sherman got up and was still sleeping with Kate Beckinsale in his arms, he received a call from Matthew.

"It's okay, Matthew. ”

Inside the hotel, Fox Sherman was not angry because of Matthew's euphemistic refusal, and his attitude was as enthusiastic as before, "This opportunity is not suitable, we will cooperate in the future, I am your fan." ”

The two exchanged a few polite words, he heard Matthew's question about the actor, thought for a while, and said, "Actress, there are still a few characters, the female vampire Erica...... When Serena was a child, she wasn't sure yet. Do you have the right person? You ask her to come to the audition for the set, and I'll say hello to the casting director. ”

Fox Sherman's idea is very simple, Matthew Horner, like the woman he is holding, has a great possibility of becoming a popular movie star in the future, and they belong to a very valuable group of newcomers like him.

Serena as a child, an insignificant little role.

"Erica ......"

Hearing this name, Matthew's mind immediately appeared in the female character he had seen in the script yesterday, and he couldn't help but think of Rachel McAdams, and said into the phone, "Fox, Erica hasn't decided on the actor either? Can I recommend someone? Okay, thank you, thank you very much! Don't worry, there must be no problem with her appearance." ”

As Helen Herman predicted, Fox Sherman treated him very well, not only did he ask the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl Amanda brought to audition, but even Rachel McAdams, his private goods in passing.

Subsequently, Matthew called Rachel McAdams and told her the news, and if she was interested, she could ask her agent to contact the casting director of the crew.

"Matthew, thank you!"

Rachel McAdams looked very excited when the phone came, "I don't know how to thank you for helping me so much." ”
