The US Open is one of the top four tennis tournaments in the world, and Rolex is the main sponsor of this year's event.

With some time to go before the US Open, Matthew was in no hurry to go to New York, but met Rachel McAdams first.

Rachel McAdams called that day and said there was something important she wanted to talk to him about.

Compared to simple runners like Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson, Matthew has known Rachel McAdams for a longer time, and the two really almost became good friends like him and Amanda.

It's a pity that an environment like Hollywood has a great impact on people, Rachel McAdams is changing, and he is also changing.

Then, the two embarked on the common path of giving and gaining in the circle, and they could never really be friends again.

"Call me out in such a hurry. ”

At the Black Mamba Bar on Hollywood Boulevard, Matthew picked up a bottle, poured a small half glass of wine for Rachel McAdams, who was sitting across from him, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?"

Since it was not yet dark and there were not many people in the bar, it seemed very quiet, Rachel McAdams took a small sip of her glass, and smiled a dimple on her face, "If I say I miss you and want to have a drink with you, do you believe it?"

Matthew didn't answer directly, picked up his glass, touched it on Rachel McAdams's glass, and said, "Cheers!"

With that, he took a sip from his cup, and Rachel McAdams smiled and took another sip on the cup.

"I've been here a few times. Rachel McAdams looked around, "Never seen Johnny Depp. ”

Matthew put down his wine glass and said unhurriedly, "After Depp went to France, he transferred most of the bar's shares, and rarely came back. ”

In fact, including him, Keanu Reeves, and Charlize Theron, rarely come to Black Mamba for drinks anymore.

Rachel McAdams' eyes wandered around the bar, and finally fell on Matthew, saying, "After 'I Am Legend,' it seems like you haven't picked up a new job yet, right?"

"Nope. Matthew turned his glass lightly and joked casually, "No crew has been looking down on me lately." ”

Rachel McAdams laughed out of her dimples again, "It's true that very few crews can afford your exorbitant pay." ”

With a salary of 2,000 US dollars, looking at the entire Hollywood, there are only a dozen or twenty stars who can get such a horror salary.

"You're not bad either. Matthew smiled at Rachel McAdams, "It's second tier now, too." ”

Rachel McAdams shook her head, "Sort of." ”

"Mean Girl" is just a supporting actress, and the limelight is Lindsay Lohan's; "The Notebook" was criticized by film critics, but the North American box office of more than 80 million US dollars finally made her truly a star; "Wedding Guest" was an unexpected hit, and she finally gained a foothold in Hollywood.

Of course, all of this is much worse than the person on the other side.

Although she also has some little pride in being a star, Rachel McAdams knows very well that she must not compare herself to Matthew, otherwise she will be completely injured.

She quickly changed the subject and said, "When we were in an acting class together, I didn't think we would be where we are today. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "yes, it's a bit incredible to think about." ”

He could see that Rachel McAdams had something to say today, and he definitely didn't just come to him to catch up.

Rachel McAdams picked up her glass, had a drink with Matthew, took the bottle, poured a small glass of wine into each of the two glasses, and said, "It's been a long time since we've had a drink together." Do you remember, Matthew?"

"Huh?" Matthew looked at her quizzically.

Rachel McAdams dimple reappeared, "After the acting class, before I went back to Canada, we had a drink together, saying that we would have the opportunity to act together in movies together. ”

Matthew patted his head and remembered, "Yes, I did." Without waiting for Rachel McAdams to react, he added, "We were all drinking too much. ”

Hearing him classify this as a drinking talk, the dimples on Rachel McAdams' face stiffened for half a second, and then quickly returned to normal, instantly determining one thing, Matthew Horner is no longer the Matthew Horner who seemed to be simple and enthusiastic in acting school.

In this case, she stopped beating around the bush and said, "There is a project where they are interested in inviting you to be the leading actor. ”

"Invite me to be the lead actor?" Matthew asked, pausing his hand to turn his glass, "Rachel, why you." ”

Rachel McAdams understood what that meant, saying, "If there were no accidents, I would be the heroine of this project." She dimples her laughter again, "I've always wanted to partner with you to make a movie to commemorate our ...... Well, our friendship. ”

Of course, Matthew didn't believe this kind of nonsense, so he simply asked directly, "Rachel, which film company does this film project belong to?Who is the director?Who is the producer?How much is the investment?Am I the only candidate for the leading actor?"

"It's not. Rachel McAdams answered the last question first, "Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise are also interested in the male lead. ”

She thought for a moment and said, "The producers are more inclined to you, and they learned that I am friends with you, so they specially asked me to ask you what you mean first." ”

Matthew frowned slightly, a project that could interest both Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise must have a certain appeal.

"This is a first-tier major production project with an investment of about $150 million. ”

Rachel McAdams looked at Matthew, thought of the producer's advice, and said, "The movie is a sci-fi action movie, which is very suitable for your genre, and I can't say anything else, it involves secrecy." ”

Matthew nodded lightly, since it involves secrecy, of course, he can't force Rachel McAdams, and he can't help but think about it carefully, as if he hasn't heard that the six major companies have recently prepared a new sci-fi action movie.

Sci-fi action movies are undoubtedly one of the most suitable genres for him, and Helen Herman has been eyeing the six major Hollywood companies and their subsidiaries, and if the six major companies had projects in this area, I'm afraid she would have gotten the news a long time ago.

Rachel McAdams looked at Matthew, although she could basically get the heroine, and she initialed an agreement with the producer, and the producer was very satisfied with her, but there was no guarantee that she would get it 100%, and it is said that a goddaughter of the great director Steven Spielberg seems to be interested in this heroine.

She felt threatened, because she knew the other party's background and network in the circle, and if she wanted to fight and ensure that she got the role 100%, she needed the support of at least one heavyweight.

This is the heroine of a first-line big production, not a small production like "The Notebook" and "Wedding Oak", which always have limited influence.

So, when the producer came over, she agreed without hesitation.

If Matthew can become the male protagonist, this female protagonist cannot fall into the hands of others.

Regardless, she has a great relationship with Matthew.

"Rachel, there's a limit to what you're talking about. Matthew said directly, "I can't judge, so ...... I can't give you a definitive answer. ”

"I know. Rachel McAdams nodded slightly, "There are some things that don't fit me, I'm just bringing you a message." ”

Her dimples reappeared, "The producer of the project wanted to ask you to talk, but he didn't know you and didn't know your contact information, so I had to ask you by the way." ”

Why didn't the other party go to Helen Herman? Matthew was puzzled at first, and then he figured out that as long as he was done, it would be much easier to get Helen Herman again.

Seeing that Matthew didn't reply, Rachel McAdams glanced at his face and couldn't see any emotion, so she had to ask tentatively, "Matthew, ...... Do you want to meet him?"

Matthew thought about it for a while, after the filming of "I Am Legend" ended, he actually didn't take on other roles, and the $150 million-level film is definitely a Hollywood first-line production, and the sci-fi action movie is also in line with his positioning, and it doesn't hurt to see it.

Maybe you'll come across a hit movie you've ever seen, and if that's the case, let Helen Herman negotiate with the other party.

"Yes. Matthew made a quick decision, "I'm going to train tomorrow morning. ”

His fitness and kickboxing training never stopped, "Well, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, we'll meet at the Mathieu café on Great Street in Nanbeau." ”

Hearing this, Rachel McAdams immediately responded, "Okay! The producer said that you can do whatever you want these days." ”

Agreed to meet with each other, Matthew has no interest in continuing to drink, Rachel McAdams is also in a hurry to leave, the two say a few words, and each takes his own leave and walks out of the Black Mamba Bar.

"Back to Beverly Hills. ”

Getting into the black Mercedes SUV, Matthew spoke to the driver first, and then dialed Helen Herman to tell her the general situation.

After listening to his words, Helen Herman's voice quickly came, "It shouldn't be a project of the six major companies, there may be other small and medium-sized film companies that want to invest a lot." ”

She paused for a moment, then said, "You go and meet with the other party tomorrow to see what the situation is, and then you can talk." ”

"Hmm. Matthew replied, "Stay in touch tomorrow." ”

The next day, after a morning at the fitness club and lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant, Matthew walked into the café five minutes before three o'clock, and then saw Rachel McAdams.

With Rachel McAdams, there was also a white man in his thirties.
