This kind of half-joking, half-serious targeting of the black movement is not something that everyone can say like Clint Eastwood, and if Matthew had decades of experience in Hollywood, he would have stood up and criticized a few words, but now he is still a little lacking.

Besides, in the reality of the increasing proportion of ethnic minorities in theater audiences, it is in his interests as a commercial star to pay attention to minorities.

So, regardless of others, Matthew continued to follow his previous strategy, allowing the three foundations in Amanda's charge to continue to provide assistance to blacks, minorities, and women and children.

Just this month, Matthew was named one of the top 10 philanthropic figures in the United States by Forbes magazine, along with many other super-rich people such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

At the same time, many organizations for the protection of women's and children's rights and interests in the United States have also listed Matthew as an enthusiastic public welfare figure, and some have also made Matthew an honorary director.

In addition, Matthew has announced donations to a number of prominent charities, totaling millions of dollars.

These are huge boosts to his fame and influence.

Forbes magazine also conducted an exclusive interview with Matthew.

"It is a shame that a person dies with a lot of money!"

Facing the reporter of Forbes magazine, Matthew said solemnly, "I believe that people in the world are stewards of the wealth entrusted to them by God. They are not the true owners of wealth, and they cannot bring it with them in life or death. It is very necessary for us to donate money for some things that we can and help those in need. ”

"I'm not a fan of wealth, especially when the world's 6 billion people are much poorer than we are," he added. ”

Matthew loves money very much, which he has never denied, but he is also well aware that money can bring a lot more to a person than money itself.

Some Wall Street investors, many of them billionaires, are willing to introduce their identities in addition to their job titles, especially as trustees of top universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, or directors of well-known museums, art groups, and social organizations.

When people first hear these titles, they can't help but be in awe of their academic achievements. These people admit that this is an honorary title they get after donating, but they still value it very much.

In the United States, it is possible to have a lot of property, but it has to be something back, and someone has to notice, otherwise you will never be a real influencer.

Even many American media believe that generosity is an unwritten tradition of American billionaires, a necessary quality for successful people, a standard for rich people to be recognized by society, and a spiritual demeanor with ultimate seduction.

Of course, the fact that the wealthy are keen to donate has a lot to do with the encouragement of U.S. government policies, and tax incentives are the best example.

When confronted with charity and media reporters, even Matthew's limited literacy can say something that sounds lofty.

"It is very necessary for us to donate money to help those who are in dire need. Matthew seems to have truly become a philanthropist, "Giving is the most necessary thing, because no matter which non-profit organization the donation is made to, the act itself satisfies the donor's need for self-fulfillment, so that they can live for their ideals, live for their beliefs, and live for the best image in their hearts." Every morning, people can see in the mirror a self that they want to see, or should see: a responsible citizen, a caring neighbor. ”

In today's era, it is very important to sell characters, and Matthew has also established a relatively complete character for himself in addition to Playboy through years of hard work.

In fact, a playboy is nothing, and what young rich man is not? This society has long since stopped caring about this.

Donors like Matthew can almost play with donations, but it is not easy to accept donors, and they can also play with the variety of donations.

While communicating with Amanda, Amanda told Matthew about a typical case that had just happened.

Some time ago, Jim Harbault, the former head coach of the San Francisco 49ers team, wanted to jump ship to the University of Michigan football team with a high salary, and his first-year salary will be $7 million.

In this regard, Amanda explained to Matthew that the reason why the famous coach is poached with high salaries is because if the school's football team wins the game, then the excited Michigan alumni will generously donate to their alma mater, and these donations will definitely be several times the amount of 7 million US dollars......

The fame brought by philanthropy has won Matthew more attention, and he has appropriately promoted the film "Twilight" through various channels.

Compared with those big productions that invest hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, "Twilight" does lack enough publicity points in addition to having more and more fans.

As we enter September, a series of issues related to Matthew have come to fruition.

Thanks to his recommendation and help, after three rounds of auditions, Carolina Kokuva got the role of Scarlett the redhead, but the salary was only $200,000.

But for Carolina Kokuva at this stage, a female number two in a Hollywood commercial production is more important.

On the night that Carolina Korkova passed the audition, Matthew invited her to visit Horner Manor for a night of beauty and the beast in a well-prepared gym.

He was in Karolina Kokuva and let himself go to the fullest.

The result of the night caused Karolina Kokuva to delay her arrival on the crew for a full two days.

At the same time, the crew finalized the rest of the main cast, including Matthew and Sienna Miller, most of whom were required to undergo two weeks of military training.

Filming this type of subject in Hollywood requires pre-filming training.

On the other hand, Helen Herman ended negotiations with Walt Disney, and Matthew signed an equity transfer agreement with Disney, but the formal deal will not be completed until the end of the year, and the two parties have agreed to a share swap at Marvel's share price at the end of the year.

Subsequently, Walt Disney officially announced the transaction, which is also equivalent to officially announcing the acquisition of Marvel Comics.

Perhaps Matthew, a celebrity shareholder, really played an exemplary role, many small shareholders of Marvel Comics have fallen under the offensive of Walt Disney, although the management of Marvel Comics is resistant, but joining a huge entertainment media group is not a bad thing for the development of Marvel.

At least the management of Marvel Comics did not refuse to open negotiations with Walt Disney.

Almost at the same time, Walt Disney was also pushing to acquire George Lucasfilm's Lucasfilm, and Mickey Mouse's huge industrial layout has been revealed.

I have to say that Robert Iger looks like a smiling Mickey Mouse, but his ability is no worse than that of his predecessor Michael Eisner, and his work style is more gentle, and his professional ethics are also well-known, Disney is being led by him on a fast track of development.

Matthew has also benefited greatly from the completion of this transaction, and the short-term benefit is that he will become a minority shareholder in Walt Disney, and in the long run, the opportunity to invest in Marvel superhero movies will be very rare.

Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the management of Walt Disney will not think about how far Marvel superhero movies will develop in the future.

It was the Marvel Avengers universe that completely pushed superhero movies into the commercial mainstream of Hollywood.

Matthew can now get a piece of the pie, which can be said to be very rare.

The first North American box office share of "Iron Man" has reached the account of Studio 13.

After more than four months of screening, the film dropped from theaters in North America last week, and the North American box office finally stuck at $335.6 million.

At present, overseas screenings have not ended, and the overseas box office has exceeded the $400 million mark.

Matthew's first North American box office share was $20 million, although Paramount Pictures withheld the distribution costs and part of the advance publicity and marketing expenses, and the amount of North American box office revenue that could be received in the future was limited, but the film's overseas box office share has not been calculated.

At the box office alone, he was able to recoup $40 million in investment and make a profit, not to mention a share of many peripheral revenues such as DVDs, TV rights and online on-demand.

According to PwC's estimates, the $40 million investment could bring him between $35 million and $40 million in profits.

Even if you look at the entire Hollywood and even the American business circle, this is a super profitable investment.

Today, when the traditional production industry can only make 10% or even less profits, the profits that can be made by a big-selling Hollywood movie are indeed staggering.

This is also an important reason why we all know that film is a high-risk industry, and so many people are crazy about investing.

Normally, a super-hit movie can often make up for the shortfall caused by three or four failed movies.

Of course, those who make it to the top of the charts are not among them.

With the proceeds from "Iron Man", Matthew is ready to invest directly in "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America", the former is about to start preparations, and the latter also has a specific written plan.

As for another "Thor" planned by Marvel Studios, he does not plan to invest in it.

At the same time, the North American theatrical journey of "Superman Hancock" is gradually approaching the end, and the trend of this film is obvious, and it has been released for more than two months, and the box office has no explosive power.

At present, the film's North American box office has just exceeded $300 million, and the global box office has touched $700 million.

However, the single-day revenue of the North American market has been below one million for more than a week, and it will not be too far from the lower grade in North America.

Matthew paid attention to these and returned to the training of the "Special Forces" crew, and received an invitation from Lily Collins to accompany her to the finals of American Idol.
