In the café, Aziva Gosman slowly turned the cup in front of him, his face was quite solemn, and a pair of eyes floated over Brad Pitt's face, since the other party indicated his intentions, he did not need to go around in circles, which could save time for both parties.

"I'm honored that Brad is interested in the lead actor of 'Superman Hancock for All.' "Aziva Gosman is not the kind of person with a hot temper, and he still speaks more tactfully and politely," but I can only say sorry, we already have the right person for the leading actor. ”

Corina immediately answered, "Mr. Gosman, don't rush to make a decision yet, okay?"

Aziva Gosman shook his head slightly, "Warner Bros. and I both decided to have Matthew Horner play the lead role, and there was no better candidate than him, especially Warner Bros., who insisted on using Matthew Horner. ”

It's a very polite remark, but it doesn't taste to Brad Pitt's ears, just a few years ago, Warner Bros. begged him for "Troy......

"Haven't you reached a negotiation yet?" Corina knew very well that there would be no chance if he didn't fight hard, "Don't you think Matthew Horner's asking price of $35 million is too outrageous? Brad is also a first-line movie star, his offer is only $15 million, how much box office does it take to make up for the difference of $20 million?"

Without waiting for Aziva Gossman to reply, Brad Pitt answered, "Aziva, you should know that I have a plan B production company, and the company is currently being reorganized, and the reorganization will be completed in the second half of the year at most, and if you have other projects in the future, plan B can participate in the investment." ”

Aziva Gosman is certainly aware of Plan B, and among the production companies set up by many movie stars, Drew Barrymore's Flower Pictures and Brad Pitt's Plan B are the best.

This condition is indeed a bit tempting, as a producer, everyone wants to have more financial support behind them.

But he only thought about it for two seconds and shook his head, "We don't have a disagreement with Matthew Horner about working together, the pay is just a minor issue. ”

If the production budget is only four or five hundred thousand dollars, it is not a big problem to change the actor, but this is a first-line major production project with a production budget of more than 150 million dollars, and replacing Matthew Horner, who has a huge box office appeal with an uncertain Brad Pitt, is simply a joke about his future.

Seeing that Corina on the other side was about to speak, Aziva Gosman took the lead and said, "That's all for this, I still have work to do in the afternoon." ”

With that, he was ready to stand up and take his leave.

Hearing this, Corina understood that something could not be done, and did not continue to speak, after all, they only came to fight, not to take this path.

Brad Pitt's mind is still in the state of a first-line popular star, and when he heard Aziva Gossman's deliberate excuse to excuse his resignation, he was instantly a little angry, but fortunately, his head was more sober, and his agent Corina secretly pulled him next to him, and he also remained silent and stopped talking.

Aziva Gosman's gaze swept across Brad Pitt's face, and after a polite goodbye, he turned and walked outside the café.

Just now he thought of some things that Helen Herman said before and he specifically verified, most of the films starring Brad Pitt have average box office results, and the highest so far is only "Troy", but "Troy" has a huge investment, and the box office will return to its original cost at most, while the other films, the North American box office can exceed the production cost very few.

To paraphrase a sentence in the circle, this person can be said to have climbed up all the way through a woman's hand, but in the end, he still has to rely on a woman.

On the other hand, Matthew Horner's box office appeal is really solid, with seven consecutive blockbusters, even the lowest-grossing "Dawn of the Living Dead", which has several times the production cost.

Brad Pitt, who is not used with such a guaranteed actor, but is riddled with negative news?

These two are not on the same level at all, and there is no way to measure it, and Matthew Horner is far above Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt watched Aziva Gosman walk out of the café, threw the tissue that wiped his mouth into the coffee cup with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly in an undetectable voice, "I don't know how to lift!"

He stood up, tossed his long blonde hair over his shoulders, walked outside first, walked out of the glass door of the café, and just saw the poster of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" erected in front of Warner Studios diagonally opposite, stared at Matthew Horner on it coldly for a while, and then got into the car.

When people are accustomed to a certain height, it is difficult for them to change their ideas and concepts, and this kind of truth is common all over the world.

Brad Pitt has lost the competition of so many crews before, and it has been scandalous for more than a year, and the producers are worried about him.

On the other hand, various studios have already quietly lowered their internal ratings and expectations for him, but Brad Pitt has no idea of downgrading himself by one level, and still treats the studio as a first-line popular star.

Other big-name stars encounter this situation, in fact, Brad Pitt is similar, and many people need years or even longer to adjust to change.

Of course, Brad Pitt has worked hard in Hollywood for more than ten years, and he will not slip easily, and many stars will have a trough, such as Tom Cruise in previous years, but as long as there are excellent works, it won't take long to get back killed.

Another point is that Brad Pitt owns Plan B, although there were problems with its operation for a while because Jennifer Aniston was diving, but Plan B has been running well and has strong funds in the film company created by Hollywood stars.

"Let's put it this way, Brad Pitt is rich. ”

Helen Herman sat in a black Mercedes sedan and said to Matthew next to her, "In the past, most of the funds mobilized by Plan B companies came from fundraising, but a significant amount was provided by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Investments. ”

She further said, "Now that Jennifer Aniston is ready to completely separate from Brad Pitt, there will be some problems with the funds on the B side of Plan B, but if Brad Pitt is willing to invest, these are minor problems." ”

Matthew nodded, "I know, Pete is rich. ”

Helen Herman lifted her glasses, "Conservative estimates, Pitt's net worth is not $100 million, and it won't be much worse." ”

"With so much money, just find a place to enjoy it with Angelina Jolie. Matthew looked out the window, "You have to run over and steal my role from me." ”

"Who made you successful one after another?" said Helen Herman lightly, "if I desperately need a successful work to get out of trouble, I will also target you." ”

Matthew cocked Erlang's legs, "Fortunately, Aziva Gosman is not confused. ”

On the afternoon of the appointment between Brad Pitt and his agent to Aziwa Gossman, Helen got the news and called to inquire about Aziwa Gossman, and Aziwa Gossman did not mean to hide it and confirmed this.

Helen Herman reminded at this time, "In the future, more and more people will go behind their backs to grab the roles you fancy or the projects you are eyeing, and similar things in this circle cannot be kept secret, so we have to pay more attention." ”

Matthew said casually, "Is it still Hollywood without competition?" and he smiled, "Don't forget, Helen." I fought my way through countless competitions. ”

When it comes to artistic accomplishment, he can be said to be influential, but when it comes to scheming and competing, he is no worse than anyone else.

Helen Herman looked at Matthew, who noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Pete and Julie, and Aniston ......" Helen Herman didn't say explicitly.

Matthew understood what she meant and shrugged his shoulders, "It's been so long since the three of them, Jennifer Aniston caught rape in bed, well done!"

Helen Herman shook her head, few people knew it had anything to do with them.

Although Matthew hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene at that time and sighed, "It's just a pity for Jennifer Aniston." ”

"She's lucky to be out of the Brad Pitt quagmire. Helen Herman's indifferent face is, in a sense, also thick-skinned to a certain extent.

Matthew is as thick-skinned as Helen Herman, "You're so right. ”

In fact, if you think about it, you can know that judging from Brad Pitt's past experience of climbing up a woman's thigh, maybe he has true feelings for Aniston, but more of it is probably out of that unspeakable mind.

Since Pitt and Aniston made their relationship public, Pitt has not been affected by the box office failure of the starring movie in the slightest, and both his salary and influence have been rising......

Helen Herman abruptly changed the subject, "You came and picked me up, where's Anna?"

"She'll pass. Matthew's tone was a little low, "She came to the Four Seasons in Amanda's car. ”

As the car approached the Four Seasons Hotel, he straightened his bow tie and waited for the car to get out of the car first, and the media reporters who were waiting here instantly rushed over, but his bodyguards had been waiting here in advance and immediately isolated the reporters.

The reporter was very enthusiastic, and out of propaganda needs, after they were a little quieter, Matthew also said a few words.

"I am very happy that "Three Hundred Spartans" was a box office hit, which is the best reward for the hard work of the entire crew. He said something clichéd, "Yes, my new work has been filmed, it's a science fiction movie, it's going to be released in December this year, and everyone is welcome to go to the premiere when they come." ”

After saying this, Matthew, escorted by his bodyguards, walked the red carpet, entered the Four Seasons Hotel, and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was full of guests, and before the party officially began, he had become the center of attention, with countless people who knew and didn't know each other coming to greet him.
