In an audition room at Disney Studios, Matthew followed Jerry Bruckheimer's request to end a performance, followed Helen Herman's example, put down his glasses, stood in front of the camera, and waited for instructions for the next stage.

Jerry Bruckheimer, who hosted the audition, seemed calm and said, "Okay. Matthew, that's all for today, and I'll inform Helen as soon as I can. ”

"Okay. Matthew didn't say much, turned and left the audition room, followed by a staff member, and went to the dressing room.

In the audition room, Jerry Bruckheimer turned on the monitor in front of him and re-watched Matthew's audition video, and Anderson Martinez next to him was also watching it very carefully.

When the video was finished, Anderson Martinez frowned slightly and muttered strangely, "It always feels like something is wrong." ”

He didn't need to be reminded, in fact, during the audition, Jerry Bruckheimer found out that something was wrong.

Jerry Bruckheimer replayed the audition video again, and Anderson Martinez scratched his head as he watched, "What the hell is wrong?"

With his eyes glued to the monitor, Jerry Bruckheimer didn't speak until the audition video was played, he stood up and said, "You'll call Helen Herman personally and inform him that Matthew Horner isn't a good fit for the role." ”

Anderson Martinez was stunned for a moment, because he knew that Jerry Bruckheimer was more inclined to Matthew Horner for the leading actor before the audition.

He tried to ask, "Is there really a problem?"

This is one of the most trusted assistants, Jerry Bruckheimer did not hide it, replayed the audition video, pointed to Matthew in the picture and said, "Have you noticed? Matthew has formed a kind of masculinity, toughness and even a bit of domineering momentum that matches his external hard lines, even if he is wearing a suit and glasses, he will still show it when performing, this temperament makes him very outstanding when he plays a strong blacksmith and a professional soldier, but a scholar-type actor ......"

He shook his head, "The audition was obviously very different from what I expected, Matthew was not suitable for this type of role, he was more suitable for King Arthur." ”

Jerry Bruckheimer sighed, Cliff Owen's performance in "King Arthur" can only be said to be okay, a little short of expectations, this kind of tough type of character, if replaced by Matthew Horner, may be as brilliant as Will Turner.

Now it seems that the male protagonist of "National Treasure" can't use Matthew Horner, even if Matthew Horner pretends to be a learner, he actually doesn't have the kind of historical thickness and scholarly style that decryption experts need, and when the time comes, if he stands in front of the villain and is threatened by the villain's force, that kind of scene will not be decrypted, but will directly become a comedy.

Speaking of which, he still expects too much from Matthew Horner, and Matthew Horner's acting skills ......

Jerry Bruckheimer quickly had a clear concept, and Matthew Horner had no problem dealing with roles with similar temperaments, but for roles with opposite temperaments, the acting skills were a bit insufficient.

Since it is not suitable, he certainly will not risk using it, this is Hollywood, and it is not difficult to find the right young actor.

Jerry Bruckheimer then left the rest of the finishing touches to Anderson Martinez and left the audition room first.

Helen Herman was in the car leaving Disney Studios and returning to Angel Agency when she received a call from Anderson Martinez.

"Well, okay. She looked calm, "Thank you for the call, Anderson." ”

After a few polite words and hung up the phone, Helen Herman closed the phone and turned to look at Matthew, who had roughly guessed the outcome of the audition from the tone of her phone call.

Sure enough, Helen Herman said, "Bad news for you, we're out." ”

Matthew asked curiously, "Why?"

Helen Herman said directly, "Jerry Brookheimer's personal temperament for you is too different from the scholarly temperament required for the role. ”

Matthew understood the meaning behind the words, "He thinks I have a problem with my acting skills?"

"So to speak. Helen Herman thought for a moment and said, "Just now Anderson told me that Jerry Bruckheimer has already worked with the screenwriter to get the character of the protagonist and submitted it to Disney Studios, and he will not change it easily, this is a scholar-type character, the genre of the film is action and adventure, but it is mainly adventure-oriented, and the actor has very few action scenes." ”

Matthew pouted, isn't Anderson Martinez an afterthought?

Helen Herman seemed to guess Matthew's thoughts, saying, "Anderson Martinez is one of Jerry Bruckheimer's most important assistants, if Jerry Bruckheimer asks for it, even if we have a good relationship with him, will he risk being fired by Jerry Bruckheimer and give us the news?"

Matthew shook his head slightly, "I'm just a little depressed, we have followed up this project since this time last year, and until now, but in the end it ended up out, I always feel uncomfortable." ”

"I'm depressed too. Helen Herman didn't show it, "but that's Hollywood, even if you become a second-tier star, there are still a lot of people who can replace you." ”

The self-deprecation on her face flashed, "You don't think that whatever role we want, we can get any role, right?"

Matthew raised an eyebrow and looked at Helen Herman, "Am I that stupid?"

No one wants to see the outcome of this kind of audition failure, but it happens normally, he has heard it before, and there are also second-tier stars such as James Franco, Jude Law and Colin Farrell who also participated in this audition, and it is not surprising that any of them will win.

It's just that I've been paying attention to Jerry Bruckheimer's new project since last year, but now it's empty, and it's inevitable that I'm unwilling.

After all, he is just a second-tier star, neither Tom Hanks nor Tom Cruise, just like Helen Herman said in the car, there are too many people who can replace second-tier stars.

"How are you?"

Entering the antechamber of the Angel Agency, Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and confirmed, "You're all right." ”

Matthew shrugged, "I'm a man, do I have to feel sorry for myself all day for something like this? ”

"Good mentality. Helen Herman gave Matthew a rare compliment.

Matthew was a little unaccustomed to it, and waved his hand casually, "You're busy, I'll go to the recreation room to play a game." ”

While talking, he didn't care about Helen Herman, and turned straight into the corridor next to him, deciding to relax today, no longer thinking about those messy things, and Helen Herman didn't need to bother too much about finding a new job.

At this level, just like advertising endorsements can't be accepted casually, film appointments can't be picked up randomly, selective selection is very important, sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to receive too many scenes, it's easy to produce bad movies, and bad movies hit the street at the box office, not to mention the coffee position, and it will directly lower the salary of the next film.

Hollywood's film market mechanism is to only look at the box office of movies starred in the past three years, and if the box office is not high, the salary will decline, even if it is an Oscar winner and actress.

Many fallen superstars actually started from receiving a super bad movie, such as the former Nicolas Cage, because he had no money, he didn't read the script at all, and almost everyone refused, so it also caused the biggest problem, and his value plummeted directly after filming too much.

In Hollywood, there will not be a situation where the older you are and the older you are, the higher the salary and forced qualification.

After all, the market has the final say.

Pushing open the door to the entertainment room, Matthew casually found a game console and played Super Mario and Contra.

A few days later, news came that James Franco, who played the little Green Goblin in "Spider-Man", got the male lead in "National Treasure".

After Matthew learned about it, he didn't think it was strange, because his appearance caused many changes in this film, and no one knew if it would succeed in the end.

Because Matthew and Helen Herman adhered to the principle of preferring shortage to abundance in the film, except for the clone project that DreamWorks cooperated with Michael Bay, until December, they did not find a suitable crew and role.

Matthew was not in a hurry, during which he went to the "Dawn of the Dead" crew to participate in a dubbing, and had a good chat with Zack Snyder for an afternoon, and the two had a high degree of unity in the use of background drawings and high-speed slow motion in the movie.

Of course, it's basically Zack Schneider who is saying, and Matthew is listening carefully, after all, he knows very little about these specialized directorial knowledge.

From Zack Schneider's words, Matthew can hear that Zack Schneider was strictly limited by Sean Daniel in post-production, and his strengths could not be used at all.

Matthew couldn't help but think of three hundred red trousers, vaguely remembering that it was the ancient Greeks who fought against the invasion of the ancient Persians, it seems to be based on or adapted from a comic, maybe you can look for it, and wait for Zack Schneider to finish "Dawn of the Living Dead", and the two of them will work together on three hundred red trousers?

For the time being, this can only stay in the idea, because without the support of a reliable film company, it is too difficult to make such a production.

Anyway, there's no rush now, after all, "Dawn of the Living Dead" hasn't been released yet, and it's not too late to wait for this zombie movie to be released.

"Dawn of the Living Dead" succeeded, it's easy to say anything, if it fails, Zack Snyder will definitely be on the blacklist of various film companies and even investors, and there will be no way to talk about the movies in the future.

And Matthew still has work to do, and the agreement signed with Disney Pictures has relevant awards season clauses, and he and Johnny Depp, the two leading characters with a bang, also have to wave the flag for Disney Pictures' "Pirates of the Caribbean" Olympic plan.
